2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

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.

SEVERE OIL DILUTION IN 1.5L TURBO ENGINE. LIVE/ DRIVE IN WARM CLIMATE (NEW ORLEANS). LEVEL ON DIPSTICK CONTINUALLY CLIMBS UPWARD TO GREATER THAN 21MM ABOVE FULL MARK WHICH TRANSLATES TO 24.7% DILUTION. WE DO NOT DRIVE SHORT TRIPS...ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS UP TO NORMAL WITHIN 3 BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSE AND ABOUT 3 MINUTES AFTER STARTUP. WE DRIVE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS

THIS CAR HAS SUFFERED FROM OIL DILUTION WITH GASOLINE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2018. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE OIL AT MY EXPENSE AND CLAIMED THAT INCREASING OIL IN THE CRANKCASE IS NORMAL AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED. THE OIL LEVEL INCREASES ABOUT 1 QUART FOR EVERY 2000 MILES DRIVEN AND THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ALL AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN SHORT TRIPS OR EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVES.

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.

AFTER HAVING A MANDATORY UPDATE DONE BY HONDA JANUARY 3 2019 I NO LONGER HAVE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE WHEN ITS BELOW FREEZING. MY WINDOWS CANNOT STAY DEFROSTED OR SAFE TO SEE OUT OF. I HAVE TO KEEP PULLING OVER TO SCRAPE WINDOWS DURING STORMS. ALSO FEBRUARY 14 I NOTICED MY ENGINE RAPPING BADLY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER. MY ENGINE OIL WAS 1 INCH OVER THE HIGH FILL LINE. HONDA CORPORATE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT IT'S 100% NORMAL AND FINE, AND OIL DILUTION IS NORMAL AND FINE. MY ENGINE IS RAPPING BADLY, I HAVE HAD COWORKERS WHO ARE ASE CERTIFIED LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT'S ENGINE DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL AND PROBABLY SOON. MY OIL WAS LAST CHANGED 1600 MILES AGO, AND IN THAT TIME IT GOT 1 INCH OVER FILLED, GASOLINE IS IN MY OIL NOW. HONDA DENIES THE HEAT AND THE OIL DILUTION. YOU MUST INTERVENE AND HELP HONDA CRV CUSTOMERS! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF U S EXPERIENCING THIS AND HONDA REFUSES TO HELP!! PLEASE HELP! I HAVE A VIDEO OF MY ENGINE RAPPING, COMPARED IT TO OTHER HONDA CRV'S AND MINE IS DEFINITELY GOT SOMETHING WRONG!

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.

WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM WORK SUDDENLY MY CRV STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND NO CAT, DOG OR OTHER OBJECT WAS IN THE WAY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, IF A CAR WOULD OF BEEN NEAR IN THE BACK IT WOULD OF CRASHED MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS SUDDENLY STOP. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE.

CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NOT HEATING UP PROPERLY. IN COLD WEATHER WHEN IDELING WOULD NOT MOVE FROM COLD POSITION, THEREFORE PRODUCE NO HEAT. WHEN DRIVING IT AT 35MILES AN HOUR GAUGE WOULD GO UP SOME ,AND WHEN SLOWING TO 25 MILES GAUGE WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO COLD, WITH NO HEAT. CAR WOULD ALSO STALL AFTER IT WAS STARTED AND LEFT IN PARK WHEN I WOULD GET IN TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. THIS WOULD ALL HAPPEN DURING COLD WEATHER. HONDA DID THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY FOUND THE GAS AND OIL MIXTURE PROBLEM. DID AN OIL CHANGE AND DID THE RECALL UPDATE ON CONTROL PANEL AND SOFTWARE.GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPPING DOWN TO COLD AND LOSS OF HEAT,WHEN DRIVING SHORT TRIPS. HONDA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

OIL DILUTION IN 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. STRONG SMELL OF FUEL OUTSIDE VEHICLE. ONLY HAVE <9000 MILES AND HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OIL 3 TIMES AS LEVEL GOES UP ANS SMELLS OF GAS. CURRENTLY HAVE 300 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE AND CAN ALREADY SEE LEVEL RISING. ALL DRIVING IS 20 PLUS MILE TRIPS.

SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. IT SHATTERED IN 1000S OF PIECES WITH A LOUD, POWERFUL EXPLOSION. BITS OF SHATTERED GLASS PUT SCRATCHES ON THE ROOF. CAR HAS ONLY 4000 MILES.
