2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I CAN SMELL GAS IN THE CAR, BUT I DON'T SEE A LEAK. HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD.

THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND AROUND THE CAR. THE SMELL IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING AND AFTER PARKING. DURATION OF THE TRIP DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR, NOR THE STREET TYPE.

ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATED BY GASOLINE. STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL AND CABIN. OIL HAS THE VISCOSITY OF WATER. NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO ITS JOB AND FORCE HONDA TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED IF THE TESTED CRV ENGINE AND ALL I RECEIVED WAS SILENCE OVER THE PHONE. MY ENGINE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AS I DROVE 12,000 MILES SO FAR. IF NHTSA DOES NOT DO ITS JOB IN RECALLING THIS VEHICLE EVERYONE THERE SHOULD BE FIRED. I HOPE SOMEONE THERE OF ANY AUTHORITY READS THIS COMPLAINT. AGAIN NHTSA DO YOUR JOB.

I REALLY STARTED THINKING ABOUT AN INCIDENT FROM TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN I RECEIVED A "VAGUE" 2018 HONDA CRV RECALL NOTICE ON MY CAR FOR AN A/C CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT, ETC. TODAY. THAT NOTICE PROMPTED ME TO BEGIN SEARCHING ONLINE FOR ANYONE DOCUMENTING "SPONTANEOUS BRAKING." I DID FIND SEVERAL THAT WOULD SAY EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD HAVE SAID IN THEIR PLACE. IN OTHER WORDS, BRAKING HARD ENOUGH TO AN ABRUPT STOP THAT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. THINGS WERE THROWN FROM THE SEATS TO THE FLOOR WHEN I WAS GOING QUITE SLOWLY (ON THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE STREET).COMING UP ON AN AREA WHERE A LARGE STEEL SHEET HAD BEEN PLACED BY SEWER WORKERS OVER AN OPENING IN THE LANE I WAS IN. I WAS SO SHOCKED THAT I LOWERED MY PASSENGER WINDOW TO CALL OUT TO TWO OF THE WORKERS THAT, "I DIDN'T DO IT, THE CAR DID." YESTERDAY I WENT BACK TO THAT SAME LOCATION TO EXAMINE EXACTLY HOW THE SPOT APPEARED. IT DEFINITELY LOOKED LIKE THE TYPE OF ROAD CONDITION THAT A KID'S TRICYCLE IS BUILT TO EASILY PASS OVER. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 9/28/2018. IN THE RECALL NOTICE, THEY REFERRED TO: WHAT IS THE PRODUCT UPDATE ISSUE--FOLLOWING THAT IT SAYS--. . .THERE ARE REPORTS OF VEHICLES EXPERIENCING DRIVABILITY CONCERNS. THESE CONCERNS CAN RESULT IN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) TURNING ON. OH! REALLY! JUST A "CONCERN"? I'M HOPING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS, AND HAVE IT FIXED, BEFORE I, OR SOMEONE LIKE ME, BECOME A STATISTIC. I DON'T THINK OF AN A/C ISSUE AS HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH 'DRIVABILITY.'

GASOLINE MIXING WITH ENGINE OIL,OIL LEVEL RISING ABOVE FULL MARK DILUTING ENGINE OIL.WILL POSSIBLY CAUSE PRE MATURE ENGINE DAMAGE.SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL.HONDA IS CLAIMING THIS IS NORMAL..THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

HAD OIL CHANGED BY DEALER. NOTICED SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING HOME. CHECKED OIL HAD SMELL OF GASOLINE. OIL LEVEL HAS INCREASED SINCE CHECKED AFTER SERVICE. ACCORDING TO HONDA INFORMATION, CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF DOWN IF OIL LEVEL GETS TOO HIGH. IF CAR DIES ON INTERSTATE, COULD VERY WELL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED MY CR-V IN FEBRUARY 2018. I COMPLETED MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 6804 MILES IN DECEMBER. THE OIL WAS VERY DARK(BLACK), WATERY, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF FUEL. ISSUES WITH VEHICLE ARE CAUSING AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT AT AN ELEVATION OF 6800 FEET. MY COMMUTE IS SHORT AND IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT. THE CR-V IS STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE DURING THE NIGHT. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY WEAR TO MY ENGINE AND AT THIS TIME HONDA IS ONLY GOING TO DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM BUT NOT FIX IT ON FIRST VISIT. THEY SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND NOT MAKE ITS CUSTOMERS JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY'RE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF

THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED MINOR PINGING NOISE FROM ENGINE AND GAS SMELL IN CABIN STARTING ABOUT SEPTEMBER 2018. I CALLED TO HAVE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE AS AT ABOUT 5K MILES. HONDA MOTORWERKS OF LA CROSSE SERVICE REP SAID WAIT UNTIL NOTIFIED. NOTIFICATION OCCURRED AND AT SAME TIME I NOTICED LOUDER PING. I SCHEDULE APPT. AT THAT APPT ON 12/19/2018 CAMPAIGN RECALL: 18-114:6DU00 WAS PERFORMED. I WAS ASSURED THE RECALL FIX WOULD ADDRESS ISSUE. IT DID NOT AS PINGING REMAINS. ANOTHER APPT TODAY 12/20/2018 TO LOOK AT NOISE AGAIN AND LOWER OIL LEVEL AS WAS OVERFILLED YESTERDAY BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA DIRECT HONDA TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE RESOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUE DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE(GAS SMELL IN CAB, EXTENSIVE GAS IN OIL RESERVOIR) AND ADDRESS DAMAGE DONE TO VEHICLE DUE TO COMPROMISED OIL LUBRICATION (CAM PINGING PER RECALL DOCUMENTATION). PLEASE HELP US CR-V OWNERS. *TR

OIL DILUTION CAUSING ELEVATED ENGINE OIL LEVELS AND CAMSHAFT PINGING NOISE. ALSO SMELL OF GAS IN OIL AND ENGINE TAKES EXTENDED TIME TO WARM UP. INITIALLY, SLIGHT PINGING NOISE (~5K MILES) WHICH BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING A STRONG GAS ODOR INSIDE THE CAR AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE FULL MARK,SMELLED STRONG OF GAS AND WAS A DARK COLOR FOR BEING BRAND NEW WITH 3,000 MILES. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED CAMPAIGN RECALL #18-114 THAT INCLUDED SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A A/C CONTROL. I DROVE CAR 5 DAYS AND WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD THE CAR FILLED WITH GAS FUMES THAT WAS OVERWHELMING I HAD TO PUT ALL WINDOWS DOWN AND PULL OVER TO AIR THE VEHICLE OUT AND MAKE SURE IT WASNT GOING TO BE A FIRE HAZZARD.I HAVE REPORTED ISSUE TO HONDA FACTORY AND WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALER 12/19/18 TO ADRESS THE ISSUE AGAIN
