Problems with 2019 Honda CR-V ENGINE

On average, the 2019 Honda CR-V starts to “feel” problems with the ENGINE and its various aspects after 71 002 miles.

Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2019 Honda CR-V

Oil level is high, strong smell of gas in the oil. took it to dealer, who changed the oil, said there was nothing wrong. a few miles later i have the same issue. the oil is being diluted with gas. currently the car runs. honda is not addressing this isue.

The engine is getting gas in the oil. i have taken oil samples that show greater than 5% gas in the engine with lower than minimum oil viscosity. i have taken it to the dealer who changed the oil. less than 1000 miles later, the problem is back. the engine hesitates randomly especially when slowing down. i've taken the vehicle to two different dealers with the same "there's nothing we can do". i asked them if they could pull the injectors and check to see if one is faulty and was told "it's direct injection, the injectors cannot be pulled", which of course is false. the last mechanic told me that unless the oil level is more than 1.5 inches above the add mark, there was no chance of damage to the engine. i estimate that at that level, there would be 30% gas in oil. the company stated that the problem for the 1.5 turbo engine in the 2019 cr-v was solved. i don't believe it has been solved based on my and others experience.

Oil dilution. dip-stick was reading high after recent oil change at dealership. dip-stick had strong odor of gasoline. honda remedy was another oil change. filed complaint with honda, case #10193498 and with dealership i purchased from. i may need to hire a lawyer

2019 honda crv-oil dilution causing oil level to rise-caused car to go into "limp mode". invoice attached. i have a 2019 honda crv with only 3196 miles on it. on 1/24/20, i was in the passing lane of a busy highway when the car suddenly lost acceleration! i put the gas pedal to the floor and nothing! there were cars all around me and it was absolutely terrifying. i and everyone driving around me were lucky, as it could easily have been a large pile up on the highway with catastrophic repercussions. the car was towed to the dealer where it was determined that the issue was caused by "oil dilution causing elevated oil level"..."fouled plugs and misfire codes"..."oil very thin very dark and smelled". this is the same issue that occurred in prior years crvs! the honda tech line didn't have a fix for 2019s yet so advised the dealer to change my oil and replace the spark plugs. i am terrified to drive this car and am stuck in a lease for 2 1/2 more years. i called honda corporation and they wouldn't give me any information on what they were doing for this, except to tell me that no notice is ever sent to owners of a car until a fix is found. that is frightening. i can't believe they can continue to sell them while this dangerous situation exists.

The issue was discovered when doing an oil level check. after seeing a problem i changed the oil and filter. the dealer had put 3.8 qts. in, but 5.0 qts. came out. the old oil was very dirty and very thin. the issue = fuel leaking into the engine oil of honda's 1.5 turbo engine, installed into the 2019 honda cr-v. this appears to be the same problem as with the 2017 & 2018 models. honda reported that their fix (apparently a software change) would be applied to the 2019 model. the fix does not seem to have worked. i do have a case number from american honda motor co.

2019 honda cr-v on my 2nd. oil change there was gas in the oil at 8250 miles.i will and was told from dealer to drive it 500 miles and bring it in as i just had oil change done. i will also keep checking the oil level and bring it in to dealer for next oil change or if i see oil level rising.

Intermittent raw gas fumes inside cabin of 2019 honda cr-v. raw gas smell present while vehicle is parked, moving on city streets and on the highway. dealer was unable to replicate the problem. dealer conducted an evap function test. the vehicle passed.

I just had a high car accident and my airbag did not deploy but the other car did. my car is a total.

Gasoline leaking into the engine lubricating oil. when i bought the car the dealer assured me that honda had taken care of the problem. i feel that a recall is justified since this will certainly lead to shorter engine life and could possibly lead to an engine fire. i noticed the problem after checking the oil after a trip of 500 miles.

Strong gas smell coming from the engine oil. car has only less than 220 miles on the engine.

Brand new vehicle with barely 450 miles turned off out of nowhere. all possible dashboard faults were displayed and car wouldn't start. brakes got locked at some point and couldn't push car away from road. many customers have already encountered this issue and honda is aware but claims that they dont have any bulletins or recalls. it is a safety issue to be driving this car. car has been at the dealership for 3 days now and mechanics/technicians can not find the problem. honda dealership where vehicle was purchased shows lack of interest on helping me. honda dealership where car was taken keeps working on the issue. vehicle wont start. three days at the dealership now.

I have 260 miles and my car started to flash like christmas tree all the dash-board warning lights and engine was shaking. lost traction and it's a awd and it was turning off every block. i was driving in the street. it was also smelling so bad worse then burning.

Brand new 2019 honda cr-v ex-l: electrical problem,4/10/19 at 200 miles, battery completely dead after 2 days of not driving because computer program error. honda is aware of problem, but does not instruct the dealer to fix the problem before selling its cars. engine problem at 12 mile and up, bought the car in march,2019, smelled gasoline in engine oil at dipstick, the level was over max mark by 1/4", was told that honda already implemented the solution prior to selling 2019 model to the public. obviously, it did not solve the problem. dealer was no help, refuse to admit that the oil was over maximum and mixed with gasoline. 5-9-19 at 1467 miles, paid to change oil and filter at dealer and started to monitor oil condition and level closely. discovering that the oil level was still over maximum mark by 1/4" after returning home and engine was cool. 5/13/19 at 1600 miles, drained 1/4 qt. of oil out to bring the level down to 1/8" below max. mark. discovered that the oil had already turned black after less than 200 miles , 4 days after oil change. saved sample of the black oil for dealer. 5/14/19 at 1694 miles, showed sample of newly changed black oil to the dealer service dept. was told that this dirty oil could be typical of this 1.5 turbo engine. dealer admit this time from the oil sample that there is gasoline smell mixed in with engine oil. paid for another oil and filter change myself. dealer did not offer to do anything except telling me to contact honda engineering. will continue to monitor the oil status, and possibly ask for help from honda usa. honda is not doing the right thing for the customer since it has known this since 2017 model year. seriously, considering other brand of vehicle in the future. if the new oil and filter can get completely dirty in less than 200 miles, i would be required to change oil every week!

Gas is in the engine oil. as a result of this, there is a gas smell in the cabin as well.

After buying this new car i noticed twice gas smell while driving i checked the engine oil it smells gas i took it to the dealer he said the oil has gas in it and advised me to watch the level and the smell, bring it back if engine light turn on or smell strong smell of gas again. the is unsafe to drive since gas leaks to the oil that can cause car to install when oil level gets too high. also gas smell makes driver and passengers dizzy and increases chance of accident honda is very lazy to act since this is 3rd generation of crv ex with turbo engine. honda said that this can happen in very cold weather and with frequent short driving i'm living in georgia , no extreme cold and i drive mostly about 15 miles trips this car is defected as many crv cars with turbo engine

The 2019 honda cr-v touring vehicle has experienced gasoline contamination of the engine oil due to an issue with the engine design. the abnormal levels of gasoline contaminates has been validated through a third-party lab test. the degradation of the lubricating properties of the engine oil results in engine performance and in-cabin air quality issues. the vehicle has been taken into the manufacturer's service department, however, they have indicated that there is no fix for this issue at this time unless you live in specific states where the fix is being offered. this is a known international issue with this vehicle type and honda has acknowledged that this is a problem. some reports indicate that consumers have experienced severe vehicle performance issues (i.e., stalling) as well as health related issues due to super strong gasoline odors in the cabin of the vehicle. the reduced lubrication quality of the engine oil due to the engine design issue has long-term performance indications.
