2017 Honda CR-V FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

IT SMELLS LIKE GAS IN THE CAR

OIL DILUTION FROM FUEL

FUEL SMELL IN CABIN AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. FOUND OIL LEVEL HIGH WITH HONDA SERVICE DOING ALL MAINTENANCE. HIGHLY DOUBT UPDATED SOFTWARE WILL PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 61,000 MILES. BEEN DOING THIS SINCE PURCHASE.

FUEL SMELL IN CABIN

MY 2017 HONDA CR-V HAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. ALSO, THE OIL LEVEL RISES ABOVE THE FULL MARK INDICATOR ON THE DIPSTICK. A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTS WHEN THE HEATER IS ON. ALSO, HEATER DOESN'T APPROPRIATELY HEAT UP THE CABIN. CONSEQUENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS FUEL ODOR PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RESULT OF GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT. THIS PROBLEM IS CALLED OIL DILUTION AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS MAY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALSO, IT IS HAZARDOUS TO BE INHALING GASOLINE FINES COMING FROM THE VENTS. NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE IT'S CAUSING TO THE ENGINE ITSELF. HONDA HASN'T TAKEN ANY ACTION TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

ON 12-5-2018 I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP 12-7-2018, SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND WENT IN TODAY. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT SAID ALL THEY CAN DO IS CHANGE THE OIL AS THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM OF FUEL GETTING INTO OIL ON MY 1.5 TURBO. (THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2015 BASED ON DOCUMENTATION FOUND ON THE INTERNET.) WHEN I GOT READY TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP THE GAS SMELL STARTED UP AGAIN SO THE OIL CHANGE DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE HELPED. SINCE THIS HAS STARTED I'VE ALSO STARTED GETTING HEADACHES WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT MY VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE OR BREAKDOWN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER PUTTING GAS IN (FUELING) HESITATION WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES, HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON, THEY INSIST THE CODES READ O2 SENSOR AND SEAL, STILL NOT FIXED.

PERSISTENT GAS FUME ODOR INSIDE THE CAR

I SMELL GASOLINE AND CHECKED THE OIL ON SEVERAL OCCASION. THE GAS FUMES CAME FROM THE OIL CHECK, GAS IN OIL. I BROUGHT TO COVINGTON LA HONDA DEALER TODAY 11-29-2018 AND THE ADVISED ME THAT IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED, AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AT THIS TIME. I AM CONCERNED FOR SAFETY REASONS, FIRE AND CAR STALLING, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT NOT IN MY AREA.

SOMETIMES, I AM ABLE TO SMELL ODOR OF GASOLINE DURING DRIVING IN THE CABIN FROM LAST WINTER SEASON. IT IS GETTING WORSE DURING THESE DAYS. I FOUND 2017-2018 CR-V ENGINE HAS PROBLEM WHICH ENGINE OIL MIXES WITH GASOLINE. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND IT IS REALLY INCREASED AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE WITH ENGINE OIL. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND RECALL INFORMATION. I THINK IT IS QUITE SEVERE AND AFFECT TO DRIVING AND CAR MAINTENANCE.

EXCESSIVE FLUID IN OIL PAN AND STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN HAVING MY OIL CHANGED. OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AT VALVOLINE SERVICE CENTER

GAS SMELL AFTER TURNING MOTOR OFF, GAS IN ENGINE OIL

WHEN DRIVING AND APPROACHING TO ENTER TO A HIGHWAY WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPEED UP THE CR-V HESITATES TO BUILD SPEED AND SOMEWHAT STALLS EVEN WHEN FLOORING THE THROTTLE PEDAL. INCOMING TRAFFIC SUDDENLY NEED TO LOWER THEIR SPEED AND I BECAME CONCERNED THAT THEY POSSIBLY COULD HIT ME. THE CR-V RESUMED TO BUILD UP SPEED AND FUNCTION PROPERLY BUT AT A GREAT EXPENSE OF BEING UTTERLY NERVOUS WHEN THIS COULD HAPLEN AGAIN. THE UNIT WAS JUST SERVICED FOR OIL AND FILTER AND INSPECTED. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

GAS IS MIXING IN WITH MY OIL CAUSING IT TO DILUTE OIL.

I GOT ENGIN LIGHTS ON MY CAR AND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CAR. THE DEALER JUST IGNORE THE PROBLEM AND REMOVE THE LIGHTS FROM THE THE DASH. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP 1 SEVERAL TIMES FOR THAT PROBLEM AND EVRY TIME HE DID THE SAME THING. THAT TIME I HAD THE WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE BUT AS SOO AS I WENT OVER WITH THE WARRANTY, THEY WANT TO FIX IT. THEY GAVE ESTIMATED OF $1200-1500. THEY SAID I HAVE TO CHANGE RADAR SENSOR. THEN I WENT TO THE SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY THING (4 CLYENDER NEEDED TO CHANGE). THEN I WENT TO THE THIRD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR FUEL SYSTEM HAS SOME PROBLEMS. THEN I WENT TO THE OUT SIDE SHOP THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT YOUR CAR HAS MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. NOW MY VEHICLE HAS ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS MILEAGE WENT DOWN.

PURCHASED 2017 HONDA CRV EXL WITH AWD IN OCTOBER 2017. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIA HONDA IN WILLIAMSVILLE, NY WHERE I WAS TOLD "THAT'S JUST THE SOUND OF THE FUEL PUMP, TURN YOUR RADIO UP." THE SOUND PROGRESSIVELY GOT LOUDER SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO LIA HONDA IN DECEMBER 2017. TECH THAT HEARD THE NOISE SAID "IT SOUNDED LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A CRASH, THE SOUND WAS THAT BAD." VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR IN JAN 2018. REPAIR WAS MADE TO VEHICLE IN JAN 2018 WHICH INCLUDED ADDED INSULATION AROUND GAS TANK AND TIGHTENING OF THE GAS TANK STRAPS. NOISE WENT AWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 WEEKS. NOISE IS NOW BACK LOUDER THAN EVER AS OF FEB 2018. CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO LIA HONDA AGAIN AND WE WERE TOLD "HONDA TOLD THEM NOT TO TOUCH THE CAR" AND THAT THEY "WOULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE." I AM CONCERNED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND IT IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY HONDA OR MY DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR KNOWING THE GAS TANK OR FUEL PUMP IS KNOCKING ABNORMALLY. THE KNOCKING NOISE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT IS LOUDER WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE KNOCKING CAN BE HEARD BEST FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE GAS TANK.

REMOVED DIPSTICK AND SMELLED GAS IN OIL. OIL WAS ALSO SO THIN I COULD NOT TAKE A READING. SAW ON VARIOUS WEBSITES OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING SIMILAR. CHECKED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 15 MINUTES.
