While driving at a slow speed in a parking lot vehicle misfired and all electrical components became nonfunctional. lost some control of the vehicle. parked car immediately and car started to rev itself while in park without pushing the pedal. all system alert indicators came on indicating issues with multiple electrical & engine components. turned car off for a minute. turned car back on and all indicator lights remained. called local honda dealership immediately and had towed to dealership. honda dealership indicated that they noticed misfires as well when testing and car was not performing well. dealership indicated the following in diagnostic report: "found engine oil to be over filled. code p0300 randam misfire. there was gas in the fuel - performed oil change and updated the pgm - fi system" after conducting research we found that this is a known issue with honda crv 2018 models, but there is not an official recall. it is a known issue by honda that gas gets in to the oil panel and dilutes the oil with gas. this is both a safety and mechanical issue that needs fixed. this is a safety issue as had our car misfired at higher speed this could have easily caused an accident with the amount of lost control of the vehicle. this will also assuredly effect the life of the vehicles engine as oil is diluted by gas. the dealership was not forthcoming with information regarding this known issue by honda of gas getting into the oil tank and causing stalling and misfires issues just as what happened to us. it was not until we told them we found information on it ourselves did they recognize it. we were informed by the dealership that our particular vin had already had the update and fix that was suggested by honda for this issue. if that is the case, then it did not remedy our vehicle, and this is still a safety issue honda needs to rectify with its customers.
I have had numerous problems with my crv, most recently a complete malfunction where car did not go over 10 mph and dashboard lights all flashing on alert. honda mechanics told me this was my fault for overfilling my oil tank. wanted to charge me $2500 for a new catalytic converter. after much negotiating they lowered cost. however i have since seen this is a common problem with this model and should have been recognized as such. *tr
Stalling while i was traveling in traffic. oil dip stick smells like gasoline is "overfull" on oil mark. *ln vehicle hesitated and stalled because ok had been drained to a lower level once and replaced 2 times. consumer stated fuel injectors were replaced. *jb
Hi every time lately at the lights or when i left my car on my driveway or at parking lot a very strong gasoline odor comes most likely from the front/engine. please advise.
Gas leaks into the engine while i'm driving, which will inevitably engine failure and the car will stall while driving, this poses a risk for motor vehicle collision.. the honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle is aware of this and recommended an oil change. 48 hours later my oil is completely diluted with gasoline again. there is a strong gas odor in the cabin of my car which is a health hazard to myself and my 2 small children, one with asthma. i've contacted honda of america several times regarding this issue with no solution.
Gas was found in the oil. noticed at 7,000 miles and at 10,000 mile oil change
Car purchased new from west hills honda, bremerton wa, in december 2017. equipped with 1.5 liter engine. gasoline is getting into the engine oil; high oil levels in crankcase. gasoline fumes. stationary and in motion; car is driven daily.
This vehicle after having 4500 miles, began to smell terribly of gasoline inside and outside of the vehicle. the vehicle sputtered , did not want to run, and stalled a few times before i wound up at the dealership. i also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. the vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a hopeful repair. here i am with no vehicle, and a $400 per month payment. this is absolutely unacceptable in today's world. this problem should have been fixed, before the vehicle was allowed to be put up for sale . a vehicle is deemed not safe, when it's stalls on you in the middle of traffic.
Warning lights flashing then had software update ac control all that was on the bulletin , lights flashing again warning lights so at 38,000 had to have fuel injectors, one warning light came on since then after cutting car off hasn't come back on yet both stationary, and in motion .
Raw fuel smell inside cabin and outside of vehicle . engine oil diluted and oil level increased . fuel mixed in with oil .
In the winter, i noticed a reduction in power from the vehicle. the engine began to run rough and stalled a few times in parking lots. there was the smell of gas and sulfates coming through the vents. the oil level was very high. i took the car to the dealer and they changed the oil. four months later with normal use of the vehicle, the smell of gas is again coming through the vents, the engine seems to be running rough again, and the oil level is high. i fear the vehicle will stall in a dangerous situation, and the fumes in the cabin make me feel sick.
Fuel mixing in oil system, loosing power that can cause an acident.
While changing the oil and filter at 20, 496 miles, i noticed the following: 1) oil level had risen on the dipstick significantly higher than when originally filled 2) oil appeared highly diluted and watery 3) there was a strong gasoline smell coming from the used oil this situation has been widely documented. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-delays-cr-v-turbo-engine-fix-details-rollout-plans/
On 3 different occasions, while driving the car on the interstate highway, it started vibrating, and would not accelerate, burning smell occurred, several warning lights came up on the dashboard. we had to navigate the car from the middle of highway to the shoulder of the highway very abruptly. it was a near death experience as several trucks and cars were traveling on the highway at very fast speeds. reported the first occurrence to the mcgrath city honda, chicago, il in january 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures and they replaced some fuel sensors and informed me that this was a manufacturing issue (defective part). second incident occurred in february 2019, could not take photos as the problems went away after restarting the engine. reported the third incident in march 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures to the same dealership and i was informed that there is a problem with fuel injector and they placed the order for the part. we are really, really scared of driving this defective, malfunctioning and hazardous vehicle. i searched the internet last night and it seems several other honda crv owners are having these issues. please investigate this serious issue and save the people.
Oil diluted by gas. gas smell in oil. also causes overfill of crankcase. gas in oil dilutes oil causing excessive and unnecessary wear and tear.
The oil level remains elevated even after the repair/recall to address earth dream engine problems
Fuel in oil
Fuel is leaking into the oil system. oil has very strong smell of gasoline. oil dilution is doing untold damage to engine.
Recently bought a 2018 honda cr-v 2018, with each fill up of gas, the car has started spitting,sputtering, worsening with each fill up. now the car is stalling, this happened twice on a major highway, now every warning light is flashing, roadside service came to pick up my car, took back to dealership who tells us, per honda, the car is safe to drive, you still have the issues, warnings are still flashing, but it's safe to drive until we can get your parts, how am i suppose to know if there is truly an issue with my car if all the warnings are flashing up . how is this safe!!
Terrible gas smell inside the vehicle. very strong gas odor almost enough to give us a headache. we googled gas smell issue for a 2018 crv and read information about checking oil to see if the strong gas smell is coming there. oil dipstick smelled very strong for gas. plan to contact honda and the dealer tomorrow to see what can be done.
My 2018 honda cr-v is have a problem with overfilled oil levels with a gas mixed with engine oil and gas smell, this is due to gas leak into oil reservoirs. this is a cause for concern of longevity of the engine and health risk cause from gas smell in the cabin of vehicle. nhtsa to required honda to recall this vehicle to get it fix . my vehicle only have 6100 miles on it.
I was driving to honda dealer on march 6, 2019 for my second oil change as a result of me calling the dealership and telling them my oil smelled like it had gas in it again. this is with less than 700 miles since the first oil change that i had done on february 13, 2019. my first oil change was with 4525 miles, this was done as part of a recall on my vehicle. on this march 6th trip i was about 40 miles away from the dealership and my acc (adaptive cruise control) shut down, the collision mitigation system problem and road departure mitigation system problem lights all came up on dash of car and kept scrolling on dash. when my car did this i was unsure, felt unsafe and was frustrated as not knowing what was going on and how many more problems i am going to have with this vehicle. i found a safe place to pull over and called the dealer and told him what was going on, he said the car was safe to drive but those systems that were scrolling on dash weren't operating. it was 6 f outside a clear road and a sunny day in north dakota. after the oil change, i was told the oil was high and that there was again gas in my oil again. at this point i am beyond frustrated and wondering how many more problems i will be having with this new vehicle and the nearest dealership to me is 100 miles away, which causes me time and expense to get to dealership. this also causes me to wonder how reliable this new vehicle can be in north dakota in the winter time as also not getting much heat out of the heating system either, so between the heat, the gas in the oil and electrical problems i am not feeling that this is a safe dependable vehicle to drive, as a person could freeze to death if ended up stranded when the car shuts down and no heat, like it did when i had my appointment for the recall on 2-12-19 and it had to be put on flat bed truck to get recall done.
2018 honda cr-v touring edition with 4,000 miles on it in kansas city, mo. as i was driving down the interstate on the way home from work, an overwhelming smell of gasoline invaded the cabin. as i was only a few miles from home, i kept driving, thinking it may have been from another vehicle. however, the smell remained. when i got home and parked in the garage, i opened the hood, and it was clear my engine was the source of the fumes. had to keep the garage open for fear the fumes could ignite. vehicle is currently at the honda dealership for service. dealer claims they've never experienced this type of issue, and is currently investigating.
I was driving our 2018 honda cr-v 1.5l suv (with 4200 miles odometer reading at the time of the incident) on saturday, march 2 on iowa state highway 92 going approximate 62mph and were 25 miles from home when the vehicle stalled and lost engine power unexpectedly and we had to go to the shoulder of the highway to get out of traffic coming behind us on the road. the vehicle would not accelerate to more than 6mph and the engine light was flashing when any effort to accelerate was made. we called honda roadside assistance and were told it would be a 4 hour wait for a tow. the outside temperature that day was 16 degrees above zero fahrenheit . it was 3 hours before a tow service arrived. our vehicle was towed to smart honda in des moines, iowa which was the closest honda dealer. the service department suspected the oil dilution problem and did an oil change that day. we were asked to keep our vehicle at smart honda until they could complete the service required. we were not given a loaner vehicle to use while the cr-v was at the dealer. we bought this vehicle in july 2018 and in october of 2018 we received an email from consumer reports about the oil dilution problem in the 2017-18 cr-v 1.5l engines. we did not receive any info from honda corporation until january 2019 when we got a letter about a software update due to 'drivability concerns'. due to severe weather in iowa, we were not able to schedule a service appointment and there was no emergency urgency in the letter we received. we are hugely disappointed and upset about this issue and consider it extremely unsafe to have a vehicle that can stall at anytime and anyplace. a safety recall on this engine should be issued before someone is killed with a stalled engine occurring completely at random.
While driving the cr-v down the country roads in my area the vehicle started to shake and loose power. the check engine light came on and while trying to find a safe place to pull off the vehicle began loosing power. with the gas pressed to the floor the vehicle would not go above five miles an hour. finding a location to pull over. the vehicle was shut off and the engine was crackling and smelled like it was burning. getting out of vehicle for safety reasons allowed showed that the smell was worse on the outside. the vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was deemed in operable. they provided me with a loaner; however, i am paying for a vehicle that cannot be driven. this vehicle was only off the lot for three months with less than 800 miles.
Just purchased a 2018 honda touring crv with 300 miles that i purchase and there's only three days old the vehicle has problems accelerating and has loud knocking noises from the engine. my oil looks to be over filled and i am smelling gasoline i believe on the oil cap. the noise has gotten more louder over the past few days that i have been driving my vehicle. my main concern is the feeling of loss power when i am driving.
While driving the vehicle the odor of gasoline is present inside the vehicle from time to time. upon checking the oil level there is gasoline in the oil. it is dark milky looking that smells of gasoline, and after touching it with your finger clearly your finger smells of gasoline as well.
I noticed the oil level being over full in the fall of 2018, at that time we had about 6,000 miles on the vehicle. at 7237 miles i had my first oil change our dealer on october 15, 2018. i became aware of the oil dilution issue after receiving a letter from honda regarding service bulletin 18-114. i checked the oil level and found it to be way over-filled on december 1, 2018. i visited the dealer and they advised that a permanent fix was on its way and i should wait for a formal recall, however i was very concerned about the long term affect on our car's engine so i returned to the dealer and expressed my displeasure with the delay. they called me a day or two later indicating that they would perform the recall work which was completed on january 8, 2019. i checked the oil level immediately after the oil change and found it was at the top of the orange plastic tip of the dipstick (i realize the full level is at the top hole in the orange tip). hoping that the oil dilution issue was fixed, i checked the oil again today, february 15, 2019 after the vehicle sat in the garage all night. the oil level was found to be way above the full mark and beyond the top of the orange tip by more than '. the oil dilution issue has not been corrected in my vehicle. i filed a complaint with honda mc and received a phone call from a tech who informed me that "there was no issue with the vehicle and if the check engine light came on to return to the dealer". i expressed my displeasure with this response and she repeated her "canned" response. i am not the only owner of this vehicle/engine with the same issue. i request that the nhtsa formally investigate this matter as the canadian and chinese governments have and have found this matter to be real.
When driving my vehicle on the highway, it shut down and the service engine light came on, it had lost all power and it had 4525 miles on it. i was on my way to take it up for a recall for a software update with a/c control unit replacement ; dtc p0300, p0301,p0302,p0303,p0304,or p0172. i had to call honda road side assistance and my vehicle was hauled on a flat bed trailer to get the recall fixed. this recall also involved an oil change, of which they were making the customer responsible to pay for the filter, they would change the filter with the oil change, but not pay for the filter when changing the oil. there is also an oil disillusion problem with this vehicle as there is gas going into the oil causing a gas smell in the oil and thinning out the oil. also there is a heating problem with this vehicle as there is no heat which comes out of the blowers, which where i live is very important to have for 6-9 months out of the year. i would rather not have air conditioning as i can roll down my window to get cooled off, but there is only one way i can get heat in my car and that is from running the engine and using the climate control in the car. in cold weather states when driving this car is not safe because when it shuts down and isn't drivable and the car isn't able to produce heat when you are stranded a person could freeze to death because of the cars inability to produce heat while stranded in the cold weather. my oil already smells of gas and i have driven it less than 700 miles since the oil change, that was performed with the recall. i am taking to honda dealer again for an exam i was told, to check out spark plugs and x-ray them and also for another oil change, with 5219 miles on car now, so with less than 700 miles from last oil change i will now be getting another. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
This car was purchased new in july 2018. after about 2 months of ownership, it was observed that the oil level was significantly above the "full" mark on the dipstick. checked on-line and learned that many other owners had made the same observation, noting a strong odor of gasoline in the oil on the dipstick. dealer acknowledged that 1.5 liter turbo engines are having this problem with increasing frequency. dealer changed oil and filter at no charge. problem persisted, with 3 more oil changes at no cost over next 4 months due to gasoline dilution of oil and consequent overfill of crankcase as read on the dipstick. honda dealership carried out a honda product update on this vehicle referenced as "1245a2 product update campaign" that involved a software update in which the pcm and tcm were programmed and the a/c control unit was replaced. oil levels seemed normal for about two months, but once again were well over the full mark and had a strong gasoline odor on february 11, 2019. took car to dealership to have problem checked and was informed that honda now states that this condition is "normal" for this vehicle and that oil changes for overfilled oil condition will no longer be done at no charge. i scheduled an oil change and will have this done in one week. car has 12,000 miles on the odometer. this seems to be a widespread problem with 2017 and 2018 honda crv's with the 1.5 liter turbo engine. honda needs to solve this problem or offer a refund on the vehicle. the potential for early engine wear and failure seems obvious due to gasoline diluted oil. also, there is sometimes a gasoline odor in or near the vehicle.
Gas and oil smell in passenger compartment. gas is leaking into the engine oil causing overfill level. oil leak on floor of garage. fear gas in oil will cause premature wear of engine. just found this was a known problem by honda in 2017 and 2018 models but still sold me the car. taking car in. bought new has 2100 miles now.
Gasoline odor in cabin, raw fuel going through catalytic converter, gasoline in oil pan
The car began stalling and would not drive over 10 mph. smelled terribly and all warning lights went off. only 2,768 miles.
Smelled gasoline inside car on cold day; smelled gasoline on oil dipstick; oil level above normal; dealer changed oil; happened less than 400 miles later; noticed while driving (outside temp 20 degrees f)
During cold weather operation on 01/30/2019 after ~10-15 minutes of driving (and after the engine temperature gauge indicated a warmed up engine) i experienced engine sputtering when accelerating from a stop sign in a residential area. the engine "skipped" once below 10mph which felt like a bad shift (but it has a cvt) and then once reaching ~17mph, the engine repeatedly sputtered preventing further acceleration; the check engine light began flashing while the sputtering was occurring. i was able to limp the vehicle an additional ~.1 miles to my driveway. after turning the car off, i was able to restart the engine with no engine light on, but had the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership for further evaluation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that fuel entered the crank case and mixed with the oil. the oil indicator illuminated as the intermittent failure progressed. in addition, the vent controls were slow to function when the heat and air conditioner were activated. the vehicle was taken to automaster honda (3328 shelburne rd, shelburne, vt 05482, (802) 985-8411) more than three times, but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
Gasoline fumes are in the cabin while driving. oil level when measured on the dipstick is overfilled and smells like gasoline. the cabin takes a very long time to heat up on a cold day.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to smart honda des moines (11206 hickman rd, des moines, ia 50325, (515) 253-3040) where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be updated. the software was replaced, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 9,000.
Contacted honda regarding brand new 2018 honda crv voyager regarding oil dilution. the company says that the gas smell on the vehicles oil dip stick is "normal." they also stated that if the oil level is too high an interior light or engine noise would indicate an issue. meaning that the oil level is arbitrary.
After receiving honda tsb 18-124 from honda, which supposedly fixed the oil dilution issue issue, my cr-v problems have gotten worse! now, not only does the vehicle get a terrible smell of gasoline inside the cabin, (especially on initial start-up and while idling), but the vehicle has developed new problems. included among these are: - worse oil dilution (gas in the engine oil) . it rose by 1 quart in 2 weeks since getting the update (about 500 miles of driving) - a strong smell of gasoline in the oil and even around the exterior of the vehicle - worse gas mileage. a decline by several mpgs - colder cabin -- takes much longer to generate heat this is just wrong on a new vehicle and needs a proactive recall and further investigation asap. please do not believe honda ' users are still experiencing these issues after their update.
Vehicle was recalled for oil dilution issue and engine not warming up properly and gasoline smell inside vehicle. honda repaired on 1/11/19. recall repair did not work. took it back on 1/16/19. still does not work. i started vehicle in driveway and left it run for 35 minutes with heater on high and fan on high still blowing ice cold air temp gauge did not move at all. still smell gas in vehicle engine oil is overfilled about 3/8 inch above full on dip stick. another appointment on 2/12/19 to try and fix for third time. saturday morning 2/9/19 at 7:10 in morning on way home from work 23 degrees out i had to put the windows down because gas smell inside vehicle was making me sick. sunday morning at 7:10 on way home from work 17 degrees outside started vehicle up at 6:50 7:05 i got in vehicle still ice cold cleaned frost and ice off vehicle as best i could. vehicle will not warm up unless it is driven!!! started driving home and windshield is solid ice no sense in stopping because will not heat up unless vehicle is moving. these vehicles are accidents waiting to happen. honda is aware of all these issues but does nothing. i guess not enough people were killed by their faulty vehicles yet and not enough lawsuits. everyone of these vehicles should be recalled and banned from the road until repaired. i asked jones honda of lancaster pa where i bought this vehicle for a loaner car until it is repaired and they said no they do not give out loaner cars but will rent me one. i paid about $32,000 for this vehicle and this is how they treat their customers.
Engine oil become dirty and gas smelling within 500 miles after first oil change at 5,000 mls. suspect fuel dilution in my 1.5 turbo 3 cyl. engine. oil quantity not showing over full as yet.
Sometimes would need repeated attempt to start. vehicle stalled, most often while moving slowly, but once while driving between 30 & 40 mph. no codes showed according to clawsen honda. honda performed an software update for pcm & tcm (1/18/19). vehicle stalled once since service 10 days later. 1st incident at 72mi odom
The active safety and driver assist systems randomly switch themselves on and off while in motion and are unreliable. this has happened at both high and low speeds. it has happen in normal driving weather conditions and cold with snow flurries. this vehicle fails to warm to to "normal" operating tempers especial on mn cold days. it may not warm up period on days where the temperature fall to 15 degrees or lower. on days of 50 degrees or less it warms up when driving highway speeds but in low speed situations it may not warm up at all. there is the distinct smell of gasoline in the car at times. additionally this vehicle appears to have an oil dilution problem as the oil level registers above the max oil level line on a regular basis. in my mind these are all safety issues. i wonder if the safety systems will actually work if and when i need them. i wonder if this car is going to burst into flames as i can small gasoline in the cabin. if i smelled gas in me house they recommend i leave the premises. i can't really do with i am driving down the road. i do have a few pictures of some of the electronic warning and temp gauge but cannot download from this location. i am listing here the first incidence but know there are a few incidences.
