Oil leak on 1.5l engine valve cover
I do oil change by myself. here i am reporting fuel dilution of engine oil issue on my car. the second last time of my car's oil change was on march 16 2019. i followed the manual strictly to perform the oil change as well as the oil filter replacement. i added 3.7 qt of new motor oil (mobil 1 advanced fuel economy full synthetic 0w20), which is the volume specified on the manual book. last weekend on july 7 2019 i did oil change again, still following the manual book strictly. what made me concerned was that the volume of that used motor oil was clearly greater than what i added on march 16. the motor oil i purchased came with sealed bottles, each containing 1 qt volume. i was surprised to find that the used oil fulfilled 4 bottles, which was 10% more than what i added 3 months before. this was the solid evidence that something went into the motor oil, which i believed was gasoline, because the used oil had a gasoline smell. during this period, i only chose top tier gasoline brands and added regular #87 which was suggested by honda, therefore the quality of gasoline i added was no problem; i didn't see loss of engine coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid during this time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle would not start. the contact attempted to start the engine five times, but was unsuccessful. several unknown warning indicators were illuminated, including five "electric parking brake problem", "vehicle stability assist problem", and "electric power steering problem" messages that appeared. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000.
I went to go start my vehicle after leaving work at 4 am, 5/9/2019. upon trying to start my vehicle, the brake pedal was stiff. i could not start the vehicle. my car's lights started flashing, with a weird clicking noise being made. on the dashboard, the system started stating "electric parking brake problem". "manual brake problem", "stability problem", and a couple other errors. the vehicle was stationary, and upon doing research, this has been an issue with 2016-2018 honda civics. the emergency brake was not on, and i have never used that feature. at the time of this complaint, my vehicle is sitting in my work's full parking lot, and i am stranded.
My oils is being diluted by fuel strong oder of gas from oil. shows that it is over filled . when it is cold out side my engine feels like it is stuttering and it starts to click under acceleration. my car has already had fuel rail and injectors replaced under warranty for misfiring issues and my car has shut off on me multiple times while driving on busy 50 mph roads and had to coast into a parking lot. every honda dealer i've brought it to says this is normal and will not admit that my oil is diluted. but i heard them saying how bad the oil smell of gas
Engine oil dilution. there is an issue with the l15 engines and gas flowing down past the pistons into the crankcase. these engines have been recalled in china and only "affected" states in the us and canada. i do not live in one of these "affected" states but my engine oil level is above the maximum level and smells heavily of gas.
Vibration in engine
Vehicle hesitating, failing to achieve more than 25 mph. vehicle has lost driven gear at high speed and abruptly returned. transmission was replaced, vehicle exhibiting similar symptoms. transmission related grinding noise on warm-start, engine rattles on cold start. collision mitigating braking system had a problem that was addressed by the dealer. engine currently leaking large amounts of oil from around the head and onto surrounding wiring harnesses, a potential source of fire. this vehicle is not and never will be safe.
Fuel (gasoline) is seeping into the motor oil causing a overfill mark on oil dipstick and strong odor of gasoline when car is started. oil viscosity seems to be "thinner" after 2000 + miles of driving.

Vehicule stalling while driving on the highway at a speed of 60 mph all warning lights pop up, vehicule loss power until stall. event occurs 3 occations in less than 1 month.
Upon doing research on the tech that went into the motor of the 2017 si. i found that the same motor was in the 2017 crv and there had been a recall on it for a fule problem. i did not find the exact problem on my vehicle however i did notice that when changeing oil there is a very strong gasoline smell. i'm afraid of there being damage to the motor due to loss of lubrication. (the date i'll put for when it happened will be the last date of an oil change.)
Fuel is mixing with oil. oil dipstick reads higher when checked. engine performance is sluggish. when checking oil, there is a strong gasoline smell. as a result, oil is significantly thinner when checked.
Ijuly 2017 is when i first noticed my car automatically re-setting while i was driving down the florida turnpike at legal speed of 70 miles an hour! all of a sudden the car's dashboard illuminated with every colored warning light & a spinning-doted circle light as if car computer was searching for a signal or being remotely reset! the radio turned off, the screen went black, the computer dashboard flashed until finally the 'h' honda logo appeared on the radio screen resetting itself. scaring me to believe the car was shutting down or about to malfunction while i was driving! three months later the radio, satellite, side mirror camera, rear backup camera every thing associated with the computer brain of this car completely went out! nothing can be reset through the radio as it's just stuck. honda dealership has no explanation other replacement for safety! dealership reached out to honda for assistance as i've exceeded 36,000 mile complementary warranty. honda actually took responsibility for this malfunction at first, stating they would pay/cover majority of cost leaving balace of $300. i found this to be crazy, as this electical malfunction was no fault of my own & should initiate recall! as i now have no way of knowing if all system warning lights are error or actual safety warnings! i have no rear camera or side mirror camera due to this radio/computer malfunction! this is a danger driving this car so i contacted honda and explained i was willing to pay the $300 for replacement. only to be told their offer to pay/cover malfunction errors was no longer on the table, giving no reason why offer was revoked! the claims adjuster and her manager then very rudely & disrespectfully hung up the phone! i feel unsafe everytime behind the wheel of this car! please aid in establishing a recall
While driving in any condition warning lights for brake system, power steering, tire pressure and brake hold all come on at the same time

The vehicle would stall randomly and take up to a few hours to restart. the infotainment system in the center stack had to be fully replaced due to buttons being pushed by themselves. lastly, emergency brake failure sign on dashboard but brake was working fine.
I have a 2017 honda civic with the 1.5 liter turbo. i started seeing lots of information on the civic forum about oil dilution so i decided to have my engine oil analyzed. the report came back saying that the amount of fuel in my oil was greater than 5% which was deemed critical . this condition will cause engine failure and possible unsafe conditions.

The engine would shut off while driving-happened numerous times, including the freeway...yet honda said they couldn't find any issues.

This is a 2017 honda civic hatchback. i cannot start the car suddenly. battery is ok. aaa removed the battery and reinstalled it, then the car can start. however, the honda dealer said with the battery removing, the error code was removed so cannot find the root cause. the dealer said most probably it was related with a software error.
