2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION ON 01/30/2019 AFTER ~10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING (AND AFTER THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED A WARMED UP ENGINE) I EXPERIENCED ENGINE SPUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE ENGINE "SKIPPED" ONCE BELOW 10MPH WHICH FELT LIKE A BAD SHIFT (BUT IT HAS A CVT) AND THEN ONCE REACHING ~17MPH, THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY SPUTTERED PREVENTING FURTHER ACCELERATION; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHILE THE SPUTTERING WAS OCCURRING. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE AN ADDITIONAL ~.1 MILES TO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION.

TAKATA RECALL THE OIL LEVEL IN MY HONDA EXTREMELY RAISED HIGHER THE MAX. BAR, AND IT SMELLS GAS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ON HIGHWAY BECAUS I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THE OIL WILL LEAK OR THE CAR WILL JUST SUDDENLY STOPE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUES TO HONDA. THANK YOU

I'M HAVING TWO ISSUES WITH MY CR-V 1) ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS SHOWING MORE THAN THE HIGHER LIMIT BECAUSE OF ENGINE OIL DILUTION. 2) GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN. I CONTACTED HONDA ON THESE ISSUES BUT THEY SAID MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY RECALL NOTICE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

WE HAVE A 2018 HONDA CR-V TOURING AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD A CRITICAL PROBLEM WITH ITS COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS BRAKED WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF IT. BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED AT DUSK/EVENING; HOWEVER, THE MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS THE MOST SEVERE. I WAS ACCELERATING ON A ROAD AND GOING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN I PASSED UNDER AN OVERPASS/BRIDGE. SUDDENLY, AS I WAS ACCELERATING, THE CAR BRAKED AND SLOWED FROM 45-50 MPH DOWN TO 15-20 MPH IN ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. THE SEVERE BRAKING CAUSED EVERYTHING TO FLY OFF MY SEATS, MY SEATBELT TO LOCK, AND GAVE ME WHIPLASH. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME; OTHERWISE, I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE SENSOR MAY HAVE DETECTED THE SHADOW FROM THE BRIDGE OR PERHAPS RAIN DROPS ON THE ROAD. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY SAID OTHER DEALERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR CASES. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM EVERY TIME WE START THE CAR. CURRENTLY, HONDA DOES NOT OFFER ANOTHER SOLUTION.

THE HEAT IN THE 2018 CRV DOES NOT OPERATE SAFELY DURING AVERAGE WINTER TEMPERATURES (NORTH DAKOTA). WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY COLD OUTSIDE, BELOW ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE HEAT IS NON EXISTENT CAUSING A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH DEFROSTING WINDOWS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR RESOLUTION. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL ENGINE AND THERE WAS NO FIX IN PLACE FROM HONDA. I PROCEEDED WITH AN INCIDENT WITH AMERICAN HONDA WHICH THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THIS WAS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER AND MANY CAR FORUMS SAY OTHERWISE. I GUESS NOW I WAIT FOR RESOLUTION, TRADE THE VEHICLE, OR CRASH AS MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

ENGINE OIL BECOME DIRTY AND GAS SMELLING WITHIN 500 MILES AFTER FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 5,000 MLS. SUSPECT FUEL DILUTION IN MY 1.5 TURBO 3 CYL. ENGINE. OIL QUANTITY NOT SHOWING OVER FULL AS YET.

PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE MIXING IN WITH THE ENGINE OIL. TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL AND PROBLEM IS WORSE. DEALER ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORP AND THE NHTSA.

GAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINES OIL, CAUSING OIL LEVEL TO RISE, STRONG SMELL OF GAS AROUND CAR CONCERN ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE.

ON 2019-01-25 AT ABOUT 12:25PM I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. COMING FROM A FULL STOP I TURNED RIGHT ONTO A MERGE LANE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. CAR SPED UP THEN SUDDENLY LOST RPMS. I MADE IT TO 45MPH AND, FORTUNATELY, HAD ENOUGH TIME TO MERGE. IF I HAD STARTED ONE OR TWO SECONDS LATER, I WOULD'VE HAD TO PANIC-BRAKE IN THE MERGE LANE INSTEAD OF MERGING. THIS WAS DISCONCERTING. CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES EARLIER THAT MORNING; I HAD THEN DONE A QUICK SHOPPING TRIP AND HAD RESUMED DRIVING. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 30S. CAR IS REGULARLY DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES IN OUR SMALL TOWN. OIL LEVEL, MEASURED AT DIPSTICK WITH CAR LEVEL AND ENGINE COLD, IS WELL PAST THE HIGH MARK.

ENGINE OIL APPEARS TO BE DILUTED EVEN AFTER HONDA'S FIX. HEATER WORKS POORLY EVEN AFTER FIX.
