2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS CAR JUNE 2018. IT WAS PERFECT. EVERYTHING WORKED FLAWLESSLY. THEN JANUARY 3 I HAD A TSB PERFORMED ON THE CAR, NOW MY MPG'S HAVE DROPPED BY 10MPG. AND I HAD NO ISSUE WITH HEAT BEFORE, AND NOW I DO. START THE CAR, WITHIN 2 MILES I HAVE HEAT. 20 MINUTES INTO MY JOURNEY, THE CENTER VENTS ON THE DASH START BLOWING COLD AIR. DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH I TURN UP THE HEAT DIAL, IT CONTINUES TO BLOW COLD AIR FROM THE CENTER VENTS FROM THAT POINT IN THE TRIP FORWARD. IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CALLED HONDA TECH LINE AND HONDA TECH LINE CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL AND THE CAR WAS NOT DOING THAT PRIOR THIS TSB BEING DONE ON MY CAR. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AGREES WITH ME IT'S NOT NORMAL AND SOMETHING IS WRONG, BUT TECH LINE TOLD THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS WILDLY UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU NEED TO STEP IN. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HONDA IS DOING THIS TO! IN CHINA A STOP SALE WAS FORCED BY CONSUMERS BECAUSE THE CRV IS DEFECTIVE. WHY ISN'T THE USA DOING SOMETHING TO HELP US????

SONE HOW GAS IS GETTING THE OIL. I LEFT VEHICLE RUN AT IDLE FOR 15 MINUTES IN DRIVEWAY TEMP GAUGE DOES NOT MOVE. IF I DRIVE VEHICLE THE TEMP GAUGE GOES UP BUT STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TEMP GAUGE STARTS DROPPING AGAIN. VERY STRONG ODER OF GASOLINE IN SIDE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHT OR PARKED FOR A FEW MINUTES. YOU HAVE TO PUT WINDOWS DOWN IT SMELLS SO BAD. HONDA IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES AND DOES NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO ANY OF THEM! MY VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO GET FIXED FRIDAY MORNING. 1-11-19 BUT ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THE FIX HONDA IS DOING DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA IS FORCED TO DO SOMETHING? IT IS ALL HONDA CRV VEHICLES AND SOME OTHER MODELS FROM 2017 AND 2018.

BOUGHT A NEW 2018 CR-V EX TURBO IN SEPTEMBER. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THEY HAD ISSUES WITH GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. THE MAINTENANCE FOR OIL CHANGES IS 10,000 MILES. I CHANGED OIL MYSELF AT 6,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 16,000 BY THE DEALER THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A/C COMPUTER. THEY STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT IT WILL REPAIR. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE SAME A/C COMPUTER. SO, I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK ONLINE JANUARY 6TH FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF CR-V'S HAVE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. SINCE I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER I THOUGHT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MINE HAS MIXED. MY OIL WAS 1/2' PAST FULL. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WILL BE IN JANUARY 10TH. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE? I FEEL I WAS SET UP WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THE A/C RECALL WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'LL SURE BE KEEPING AN EYE ON MY OIL AFTER THE REPAIR.

AT APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES I CHANGED THE OIL IN OUR 2018 CR-V (FOR THE FIRST TIME) AND REALIZED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1.5 QUARTS TOO MUCH OIL (IT WASN'T ALL OIL, GASOLINE HAD DILUTED THE OIL). WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT THE HONDA DEALER IN GRAND ISLAND, NE TO HAVE THEM 'INSTALL UPDATED INJECTOR SOFTWARE AND SOMETHING CONCERNING THE A/C REGULATOR (THEY SAID).

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IN THIS CAR IS A "PASSIVE" SYSTEM. THAT MEANS THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR TRANSMITTERS IN THE TIRES BUT RATHER, THEY USE THE ABS SENSORS TO MEASURE RELATIVE WHEEL SPEED AND SINCE A LOW TIRE WILL HAVE A SMALLER DIAMETER, IT WILL ROTATE FASTER AND HONDA BELIEVES THEY CAN MEASURE RELATIVE TIRE PRESSURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THIS IDEA IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED.: MY FIRST EXAMPLE: I HAD A TIRE GO FLAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. IT WASN'T A BLOW-OUT, JUST A TIRE THAT WENT FLAT WHILE DRIVING. THE "TPMS" SYSTEM NEVER WARNED OF THE LOW TIRE AND THE TIRE WAS ACTUALLY RUINED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.. THAT LED TO MY SECOND REASON... THE TIRE STORE REPLACED THE TIRE WITH AN IDENTICAL SIZE BUT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER'S TIRE. THAT RESULTED IN MULTIPLE PERIODIC WARNINGS OF "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM PROBLEM". TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN THEM TELLING ME THAT ANY REPLACEMENT TIRE HAD TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS ORIGINALLY CAME ON THE CAR AND I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE TWO, AND POSSIBLY ALL FOUR TIRES.. THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE TIRES! IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE TPMS SHOULD MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE... NOT MAKE, MODEL AND TREAD PATTERN AS THE DEALER TOLD ME. LASTLY, I GOT IN THE CAR FOR A DRIVE A FEW DAY AGO AND AFTER DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, HEARD A NOISE AND STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE.... ANOTHER FLAT TIRE AND NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. A SYSTEM OPERATING AS POORLY AS THIS ONE IS LESS THAN USELESS BECAUSE IF I HAD NO SYSTEM, I WOULDN'T EXPECT TO BE NOTIFIED OF A LOW TIRE AND WOULDN'T DEPEND ON THE SYSTEM. WHAT ABOUT A TIRE GOING FLAT OVER NIGHT? NO WARNING BEFORE DRIVING! I WOULD SUBMIT THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER OF A LOW TIRE IN TWO, VERY OBVIOUS SCENARIOS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE LUBRICATION OIL REDUCING THE ENGINE LUBRICATION ABILITY.

GAS IS ENTERING AND RAISING ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL LEVELS. CONCERNED THAT SOFTWARE UPDATES MADE BY DEALER WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE. WORRIED ABOUT LONG TERM ENGINE RELIABILITY. HONDA SHOULD EXTEND ENGINE WARRANTY COVERAGE TO PROTECT US DOWN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE IDLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOBBY RAHAL HONDA OF STATE COLLEGE (LOCATED AT 2796 W COLLEGE AVE, STATE COLLEGE, PA 16801, (814) 552-1352) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,989.

GASOLINE SMELL IN OIL,ALSO OCCASIONALLY GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHEN TURN ON THE HEAT.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5L TURBO ENGINE) IN AUGUST. IT ONLY HAS 1700 MILES, BUT SO FAR IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES (WHILE DRIVING). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, I WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND IT STARTED STALLING. SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD CAUTIONING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WAS MAKING PINGING NOISES WHILE THESE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING ALMOST 40MPH AND IT STALLED AGAIN (SAME AS BEFORE). THE CAR WAS ALSO SHAKING AND STUTTERING WHILE SIMPLY SITTING IDLE. HONDA SAID THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR (CPK) WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT...HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HONDA IF THIS STALLING ISSUE WAS RELATED TO ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL (IN RECENT YEARS), THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T COMMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "HONDA ARTICLE". I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM...YET, THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THAT IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT DECLARED A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BUT ON LOCAL ROADS; HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO STALL AGAIN. HONDA HAS GIVEN NO ASSURANCES THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR CAN EVEN FIX IT.
