The ignition is keyless. i pressed to turn off the engine and it shut off. but i forgot to shift into park. i exited the car. the car started rolling backward. i ran back to it, jumped in and shifted to park, stopping the car. if i hadn't noticed and stopped the car, someone might have been hurt. when you stop the engine, there should be an automatic shift to park or an automatic activation of the emergency brake.

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

On december 22, 2019 i was headed to church on a four-lane highway and heard the sound coming from the engine, a loud metal to metal sound and the vehicle died. i was able to restart the car and pulled off the road and had car hauled to dealership where i purchased the vehicle and where i had it maintained. i had the vehicle hauled over to dealership on a trailer to avoid driving it. after the dealership investigated, they found that the oil to the engine was blocked but couldn't determine what blocked the oil. hearing metal to metal it could have been shavings from the metal rubbing together. it is january 9, 2020 and i am still without a my car. they replaced the engine and had it ready on saturday, january 5, 2020. however, when i drove off in it, the engine was roaring. so, i took it right back and left it once again. they called me on monday, january 6, 2020 and said my car was ready once again. i went back to dealership in which i work in 53 mile away. i test ...

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.

Driving in town going to store smelled something like dead animal or some hair burning horrible smell almost got sick and or passed out. next couple of times i drove it the smell got better but i told my son. i couldn't drive it anymore cause i was getting sick. then the smell went away and oil light came on saying i had 15% oil life left. me and my son smelled oil stick and it smelled like gasoline. tires were worn on the inside on all four at 11,940. miles. i had to pay my own money to balance them again

My 2018 honda cr v has the 1.5 litre turbo engine. i have reviewed several hundred complaints that have been filed regarding the mixing of the fuel/gas with the engine oil. the issue seems to be more prevalent in the north, however, i have the same issue here in oklahoma. upon engine start there is a strong odor of gasoline coming from the rear passenger seating. i have also noted increase oil levels in the engine crankcase. also the smell of gasoline coming from the oil dipstick. i am writing to inquire if honda motor company intends to do something to remedy this issue. the smell starts at the moment the engine is started.. the car can be stationary and i can still notice the smell of fuel. prolonged exposure of fuel in the crankcase will certainly reduce the life of these engines. please advise me as to how i can resolve this matter with honda? thank you.

Oil dilution bad gas smell from oil can cause a fire car only has 3750 miles

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.

Gasoline is leaking into the engine oil. a warranty repair was done jan 2019 to resolve the problem but in sept 2019 the engine oil was noted to be above full and smell of gasoline. the car was brought in for further repair but no further repair is available and because honda claims this to be "a normal characteristic" of the car, no oil change was done either. however, the honda 2018 cr-v manual clearly points out that over filling the oil may lead to leaks or engine damage. copies of the repair receipt and honda oil overfill warning are attached.

2018 honda crv ex: mileage 20,165. upon accelerating while pulling the car on main roadway, the car dropped from 50mph to 25mph and then wouldn't reach past 35mph, the engine light appeared and started to blink. pushing the gas pedal only aggravated the situation. about a mile later the car stopped/stalled trying to go up a hill. i turned off car, waited 10 min and restarted. was able to go another 1 mile to home, i did not attempt to go over 25 mph, because engine light was still blinking. the next morning, i drove the car to the dealer, but made sure i did not go over 30mph, as i did not want it to stall. during the drive the engine light was still blinking. waiting to hear back.from the dealer. i believe this is a powertrain issue that has been documented by honda and all 2017/2018 crvs have been recalled in china and europe, but not the us.

I bought car used from gm dealership 3/16/19, wasn't aware of problem until first scheduled oil change.gas mixing in with oil causing oil level to rise significantly over short period of time, about a quart high with around 2,000 miles driven,mostly highway. honda service had me bring in vehicle after oil change to check level, then again after 1,000 miles to recheck. brought in in after about 1700 miles and oil was up about a quart according to service manager. honda dealer performed software "fix" to alleviate problem, but after 1,500 miles, oil level up significantly again. dealer contends honda doesn't have protocols in place to take care of issue yet. car in honda dealership today again for assessment, third oil change in 2 months. difficult to evaluate cars performance since i bought used and never had normal baseline to compare to.
