2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

BUTTON ON GEAR SHIFT LEVER BROKE OFF (INTERNAL PLASTIC PART AND METAL SPRING). THIS CONDITION PREVENTS THE VEHICLE TO BE SHIFTED IN GEAR (PARK, REVERSE, ETC.)

[ POSS. GAS IN OIL ] HAVE BEEN SEEING OIL LEVEL RISING AFTER FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 7100 MILES. OCT.15. AT 9100 LEVEL WAS APPROX. 3/8 OF AN INCH ABOVE THE HIGH MARK ON DIPSTICK. TOOK CAR TO JEFF WYLER HONDA, AND TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGER WHO STATED THAT THERE MAY BE A FIX COMING BUT AS OF NOW NOTHING. TOLD ME TO WATCH OIL LEVEL FOR MAYBE ANOTHER 1000 MILES. ON NOV.17 OIL LEVEL WAS ALMOST UP 1 INCH ABOVE HIGH MARK ON DIPSTICK. NOV. 19 ,TOOK TO DEALER AND HAD OIL CHANGED EARLY ( 3000 ) MILES . DEALER STATED OIL WAS UP ABOUT 1/2 QT. I HAVE A PICTURE OF DIPSTICK ON IPAD BUT NOT SURE HOW TO UPLOAD IT.

PURCHASED A HONDA CRV 2018 IN JULY. IN OCTOBER, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION, AND BRAKE SYSTEM WARNINGS/ERRORS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS WOULD CAUSE CONSTANT BEEPING BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. DEALER AT END OF OCTOBER REPLACED THE CAMERA UNIT IN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE SO FAR.

HONDA ENGINE OIL ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW 8/20/2018. CHECKED THE OIL 11/17/2018 AND WAS .25 INCH OVER THE ORANGE MAX LINE. DID AN OIL CHANGE AT HOME. OIL WAS WATERY AND SMELLED VERY STRONGLY OF GASOLINE.

THERE IS FUEL IN MY OIL. DIPSTICK IS ABOVE FULL ONE WEEK AFTER CHANGING OIL AND DRIVING 150 MILES. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX

I CHECKED MY OIL AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH GASOLINE IN THE CRANKCASE. THE OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE FILL MARK BY A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT AND THERE WAS A DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE OIL FILLER CAP. THE CAR WAS TWO WEEKS OLD AND HAD 225 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT SMELL GASOLINE AND THE OIL LEVEL LOOKED GOOD. TOTAL LIES. THEY TOLD ME I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH IT.

THERE IS AN EXTREMELY HIGH READING ON THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT IN THE ENGINE'S OIL. THE OIL READS ABOUT HALF AN INCH HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK THAN THE MAXIMUM MARK INDICATES.

GAS MIXING IN WITH OIL, SMELLING THE GAS ON THE DIP STICK AND WHILE DOING AN OIL CHANGE.

FROM THE LACK OF HEAT COMING OUT (ENGINE VERY VERY SLOW TO WARM UP) THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT CLEAR OFF WELL WHEN ITS SNOWING. I NEVER OWNED A CAR LIKE THIS, ITS RIDICULES HOW LONG IT TAKES TO WARM UP. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ITS SNOWING

PURCHASED NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V AWD DECEMBER 2017 FROM DEALER IN ORLANDO FL. WITHIN FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE "GAS/FUEL" SMELL FILLED THE CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY A FRIEND (LATE SUMMER) THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE ISSUE WITH THE 1.5 L EARTHDREAMS HONDA ENGINE. AREA OF ISSUE IS OIL DILUTION BY FUEL "LEAKING" INTO IT & MIXING. I THEN BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO FIND THAT HONDA HAD ALREADY RECALLED A HUGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN CHINA WITH THIS OIL DILUTION ISSUE ON THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE. WHEN I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER TO ASK ABOUT ISSUE/REPAIR, I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE OF THIS TYPE AND THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS/TSBS REGARDING ISSUE. WOW? THAT'S WHEN MY CONCERN LEVEL ROSE, AS ON THE DEALER LEVEL THERE SEEMS TO BE COMPLETE DENIAL/ADMITTANCE OF ANY PROBLEM. OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED "GAS ODOR" IN CABIN, POOR PERFORMANCE AND EVEN STALLING OF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD A STALLING ISSUE (YET) - BUT I DRIVE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY IN MODERATE /HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS AND CAN'T IMAGINE THE DANGER THAT COULD RESULT FROM MY CAR "STALLING" WHILE I'M DRIVING(OR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER).ANOTHER "CHECK" TO VERIFY IF MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE IS TO EXAMINE OIL LEVEL ON DIPSTICK. WHEN MY OIL LEVEL IS CHECKED, THE LEVEL TENDS TO READ HIGH (EVEN ABOVE FULL LINE ON DIPSTICK) AND DIPSTICK HAS STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. NOT GOOD AS IT SIGNALS FUEL IS MAKING IT'S WAY INTO MY ENGINE OIL. ONCE FUEL MIXES WITH THE OIL IT WILL BREAK DOWN THE VISCOSITY AND ENGINE WILL "WEAR OUR PREMATURELY" OR LEAD TO FAILURE. AS OF TODAY (11/14/18) MY CAR IS NOT STALLING OUT (ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT) BUT MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY IS RISING AS HONDA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET REGARDING ADMITTING AND FIXING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.
