MY 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH 1.5L TURBO ENGINE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL FUMES IN THE INTERIOR CABIN SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR ON WITH THE AIR COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE VENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IS APPARENT, WHICH IS ALSO A SERIOUS HEALTH SAFETY CONCERN AS INHALATION OF FUMES IS DEFINITELY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THE DIPSTICK SHOWS THE OIL IS OVERFILLED BEYOND WHAT THE DIPSTICK MEASURES AND THE OIL SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY 5TH GENERATION CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE WITH TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL AND THE SMELL OF FUMES IN THE CABIN. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY OIL LEVEL TO RISE TO UNSAFE LEVELS THAT WILL ACCELERATE THE DETERIORATION OF EXPENSIVE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PERFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON DECEMBER 4TH 2018, WHERE A MODULE RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE OIL AND SOME SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS INSTALLED. THIS CHANGED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SICKENING SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS THE DIPSTICK SHOWING MORE OIL THAN IT CAN MEASURE ALONG WITH THE SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADREST TILTED INWARDLY TO THE POINT THAT THE CONTACT HAD TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR HER NECK. THE HEADREST ALSO AFFECTED THE CONTACT WHILE DRIVING. OCEAN HONDA OF WHITTIER (13839 WHITTIER BLVD, WHITTIER, CA 90605, (562) 280-2838) ATTEMPTED TO GET THE CONTACT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR A NEW LOAN. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE CONTACT TURNED THE HEADREST THE WRONG WAY. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED THE CONTACT'S REQUEST TO HAVE AN ENGINEER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500. Contact stated she has permanent spinal injury and has traded her vehicle in.

AFTER RECEIVING HONDA TSB 18-124 FROM HONDA, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE ISSUE, MY CR-V PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE! NOW, NOT ONLY DOES THE VEHICLE GET A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN, (ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP AND WHILE IDLING), BUT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED NEW PROBLEMS. INCLUDED AMONG THESE ARE: - WORSE OIL DILUTION (GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL) . IT ROSE BY 1 QUART IN 2 WEEKS SINCE GETTING THE UPDATE (ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING) - A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL AND EVEN AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE - WORSE GAS MILEAGE. A DECLINE BY SEVERAL MPGS - COLDER CABIN -- TAKES MUCH LONGER TO GENERATE HEAT THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION ASAP. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE HONDA ' USERS ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AFTER THEIR UPDATE.

THE SEAT BELT LATCHES FOR THE REAR MIDDLE AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAVE A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. THE STRAP FOR THE REAR CENTER SEAT COMES DOWN FROM THE ROOF AND ATTACHES BESIDE THE REAR DRIVERS SEAT LATCH. WHEN YOU PULL THE BELT OVER TO SECURE THE CENTER SEAT BELT IT COVERS THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH. I UNDERSTAND THE 2017 CRV HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A FUEL ODOR ENTERED THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS ALSO PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COCONUT POINT HONDA (22240 S. TAMIAMI TRL, ESTERO, FL) AND A PRODUCT UPDATE WAS PERFORMED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE OIL CONTINUED TO SMELL OF FUEL AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS VERY HIGH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2018 HONDA CR-V BOUGHT NEW, ONLY HAS 475 MILES AND GETTING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND WE CANNOT SET THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL OR USE ANY OF THESE SAFETY FEATURES. I'VE FOUND A BLOG THAT HAS MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND WORSE TO INCLUDE BRAKE FAILURE. WE ARE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BRANDON HONDA, BRANDON FL TOMORROW. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A BRAND NEW CAR.

THERE IS GASOLINE LEAKING INTO MY OIL. THERE IS OVER 1 QUART OF OIL IN MY 4 QUART OIL PAN. THE OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK IS 1/2" HIGHER THAN THE MAXIMUM LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK AND THE OIL REEKS OF GASOLINE. HONDA HAS TRIED, BUT FAILED TO FIX THIS. I CAN SMELL THE GAS IN THE CABIN AND WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I CONTACTED A MAJOR OIL COMPANY IF THE RATIO OF GAS TO OIL WOULD CAUSE A PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS "ALARMING" I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ODOR OF GAS, SPECIFICALLY THE BENZENE WHICH IS PRESENT IN GASOLINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE FIRE TOO. WE HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHANGE THE OIL TWO TIMES NOW EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST BRAND NEW AND WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT'S FIRST OIL CHANGE UNTIL 10K MILES ON IT.

BRAND NEW ALL WHEEL DRIVE 2018 VEHICLE. IT COULD NOT STOP ON SNOW ROAD NEAR 20MPH EVEN LOWER SPEED COUPLE TIMES! TWO TIMES SLIPPED OVER THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS DUE TO COULD NOT STOP! SCARED TO DEATH!!!
