2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

COULD SMELL GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL AND HAVE SMELLED GAS FUMES IN THE CABIN OF CAR. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AFTER GETTING A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL CONCERNING THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS RECALL WAS FOR THE GAS IN OIL PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE OIL.

STARTED SMELLING AN ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE THEN NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE FULL MARK. THE DIPSTICK SMELLED LIKE FUEL MIXED WITH THE OIL. I HAD TAKEN THE SAME VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. DURING THE COLD MONTHS THE VEHICLE NEVER REALLY WARMED UP THE HEAT GUAGE WOULD HARDLY WARM UP WITH ONE BAR AND SOMETIMES THE BARS WOULD GO DOWN AS I DROVE WITH THE HEAT ON FULL BLAST. I TOOK IT BACK ON APRIL 19. 2019 AND FOUND GASOLINE WAS IN FACT MIXING IN WITH THE OIL. THE DIPSTICK WAS A QUART OVER FULL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX OUT FROM HONDA.

IN COLD WEATHER - BELOW ~15 DEGREES, THE ENGINE FULLY WARMS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT TEMP DROPS TO BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE GAUGE IF YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY OR GET INTO TRAFFIC JAM . AT LESS THAN HIGHWAY SPEED/BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, HEAT/DEFROSTER NOT WARM ENOUGH TO KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR. GLASS/WIPERS ICE UP.

TRAVERSING THRU AN INTERSECTION, MY HONDA CRV WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE SIDE AIR BAGS INFLATED PROTECTING MYSELF AND MY WIFE. THE MOMENTUM OF THE COLLISION PUSHED ME INTO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE SUCH THAT THE FRONT END OF THE CRV WAS ALSO CRUSHED. NEITHER OF THE FRONT AIR BAGS INFLATED.

THE OIL LEVEL REMAINS ELEVATED EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR/RECALL TO ADDRESS EARTH DREAM ENGINE PROBLEMS

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND DASH WARNINGS COME ON, ALL DRIVER ASSIST FUNCTIONS STOP WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAY NO ERRORS COME UP. ADDITIONALLY, YESTERDAY, MY WIPERS STARTED UP ON THEIR OWN AFTER OPENING THE TAILGATE (THE CAR WAS OFF AT THE TIME) AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP. I TRIED STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, AS WELL AS DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. (THE WIPERS STOPPED WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED, BUT STARTED BACK AS SOON AS I RECONNECTED IT.) AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, WITH THE WIPERS STILL ON, THE PROBLEM STOPPED ON ITS OWN.

MY CAR HAS THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE. HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED 2 TIMES WITH LESS THAN 7000 MILES ON CAR. DEALER CANNOT FIX YET BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED.

GASOLINE IS MIXING WITH OIL. OVERFILLING THE DIPSTICK LINE. THE OIL HAS THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. RECALL PERFORMED AT DEALERSHIP IN DEC 2018 DID NOT TAKE CARE OF PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP APRIL 19 2019 FOUND TO BE A QUART OVERFILLED MIXED WITH GADOLINE

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V EX IN DECEMBER 2018 FROM A NEAR-BY HONDA DEALER. WE LIVE IN BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD, AND DO MOST OF OUR DRIVING LOCALLY. WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS AFTER DRIVING, WE STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS PERSISTED, AND STARTED TO GET WORSE. WE RESEARCHED OUR ISSUE, AND NOTED MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ON 2018 CR- V 1.5L TURBO-CHARGED ENGINES. IN EARLY APRIL 2019, WE HAD OUR FIRST SERVICE VISIT TO CHECK OUR CABIN GAS SMELL PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER. MILEAGE 1,500 MILES. ON THE SERVICE REPORT, DEALER NOTED "CONFIRMED OIL AND GAS MIXTURE COMPLAINT. OIL LEVEL WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL ON DIPSTICK. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CHECK OIL LEVEL OFTEN". WE HAD THE DEALER PERFORM AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE DUE TO STRONG GAS ODOR IN OUR CABIN. THE DEALER INDICATED HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PART OF A KNOWN UNRESOLVED ISSUE. THERE IS NO RECALL IN MARYLAND YET, BUT THERE SHOULD BE IN OUR OPINION. SINCE CHANGING THE OIL THREE WEEKS AGO, THE GAS ODOR IS LESS OBSERVABLE AT THIS TIME. WE CONSIDER THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM TO BE A HEALTH CONCERN, AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM ON THE CR-V. WE ARE CONCERNED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH NO FIXES AVAILABLE IN MARYLAND. WE UNDERSTAND HONDA HAS ALREADY ISSUED FIXES FOR OIL DILUTION ISSUES IN NEIGHBORING PENNSYLVANNIA AND DELAWARE.

I NOTICED MY OIL WAS OVERFILLED EARLY IN APRIL 2019. HONDA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017 & 2018 CRVS WITH THE 1.5 TWIN TURBO ENGINES WITH GASOLINE GETTING INTO THE OIL, I CALLED HONDA CORP & THEY HAD VALLEY HONDA LOOK AT THE CAR. THEY REMOVED 1/2 QT OIL FROM THE CAR. YOU CAN SMELL THE GASOLINE IN THE OIL THEY SAID THE CAR IS SAFE & DRIVE IT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR % WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE... THE CHINESE GOVT HAD HONDA RECALL ALL THESE CRVS BUT I CANT FIND OUT WHAT THE RECALL INVOLVED.. CAN U HELP ME... THANK YOU
