2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

OIL DILUTION. THE OIL LEVEL IN THE CRANKCASE CONTINUALLY RISES DUE TO GAS SEEPAGE CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR TO THE ENGINE. ONGOING SINCE PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. THE ENGINE ALSO NEVER WARMS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE UNLESS YOUR GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY WHEN AROUND TOWN.

OIL IS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. OIL VOLUME WAS A QUART OVERFULL. IT WAS STATIONARY.

I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, A VERY COLD CLIMATE. MY HONDA CR-V EX HAS REMOTE START. WITH EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, YOU REMOTE START THE VEHICLE, IT IDLES FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND YOUR CAR GETS WARM AND THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS. IT REMAINS COOL, AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A COLD WEATHER CLIMATE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE RUN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MANY MILES (SAY 10-15) BEFORE THE ENGINE HEATS UP ENOUGH TO PRODUCE NOTICABLE HEAT. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDSHIELD. DURING A RECENT ICE STORM, I COULD NOT KEEP MY WINDSHIELD FROM BUILDING UP ICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH HEAT TO THE WINDSHIELD EVEN USING THE DEFROST SETTING AND FANS AT FULL ON.

THE INFORMATION SCREEN FOR AUDIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS GO COMPLETELY OUT AND OR FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. THE FUNCTION ON THE DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR ANTI BRAKE AND ANTI COLLISION ALSO FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. LOSING CRITICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS STILL OPERATING. I HAVE VIDEO AND MORE PHOTOS

PURCHASED 2018 HONDA NEW FROM BOARDWALK HONDA, NJ. IMMEDIATELY GAS WAS ENTERING OIL AND GAS ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT CORRECT PROBLEM AND STATED HONDA WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND WORKING ON A REPAIR. CONTACTED BY BOARDWALK HONDA AND TOLD THEY RECEIVED REPAIR INFO FROM HONDA. I TOOK CAR IN AND THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE. THE REPAIR HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

PURCHASED NEW HONDA CR-V 2018. OIL HAS GASOLINE ENTERING CRANKCASE AND AN ODOR OF GASOLINE IS EVIDENT. HONDA SENT RECALL AND I HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED AND IT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.

1/8/2019 - SMELLED SULFUR FROM EXHAUST. MADE APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE OIL/GAS RECALL REPAIR. 1/16/2019 - RECALL REPAIR. 1/19/2019 - SMELLED SULFUR, THIS TIME IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. 1/20/2019 - TWICE, WHILE IDLING, THE ENGINE KNOCKED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL THOUGH IT DID NOT.

SMELL OF GAS EVERY TIME I ENTER THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW HOURS GAP. ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT.

WHEN YOU PULL DIPSTICK OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS, ALSO STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN CABIN WHILE DRIVING! IT MAKES ME SICK SO YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMETIMES ON BUSY HIGHWAY FOR SMELL TO STOP. YOU CAN OPEN WINDOW WHILE DRIVING. I KNOW IT IS SOFTWARE ISSUE IN HONDA COMPUTER, CHINA AND CANADA ALREADY RECALL 650.000 HONDA CRVS HEAT DOESN'T WORK PROPER EITHER, GOING FROM WARM TO COLD REALLY FAST, TOOK MY 11 MONTHS OLD TO HONDA THEY SAID IS NORMAL SMELL GAS IN OIL. I HAVE THEIR OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON PAPER. NOT SURE WHY NOTHING IS DONE. IT HAS TO BE HARD ON ENGINE ALL THIS GAS IN OIL CHAMBER.

CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA CRV VOYAGER REGARDING OIL DILUTION. THE COMPANY SAYS THAT THE GAS SMELL ON THE VEHICLES OIL DIP STICK IS "NORMAL." THEY ALSO STATED THAT IF THE OIL LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AN INTERIOR LIGHT OR ENGINE NOISE WOULD INDICATE AN ISSUE. MEANING THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS ARBITRARY.
