Vehicle has 1.5 L turbo engine and gas is diluting the engine oil. Level has risen 10 mm above the last oil change level done 4/19/18, after 5070 miles. Some owners have reported this to NHTSA as a vehicle stalling problem, which I believe is a safety issue. This has not happen to us, but I am concerned that it could. I reported it to my local Honda service at ganley Honda of N. olmsted, oh. They seemed to be unaware of this potential problem, even though consumers reports did an extensive article on the 1.5 L oil dilution problem.

Oil dilution: I had an oil analysis done on my 2017 Honda CRV and it came back showing 14% gas in the oil.

There is fuel getting added into the engine oil. Smell of fuel inside car at times. Oil was changed by dealer 3000 miles before and now the oil level is a lot higher than maximum and there is a clear smell of fuel to the engine oil. The engine oil viscosity is considerably down. I am sure this is killing lubrication to my engine. Reached out to dealer, only thing they can do is another oil change. This problem need to be addressed pretty fast or engine will start seizing up soon. I emailed Honda for a response and they are referring me back to the dealer. China has stopped Honda from selling CR-V in their market in light of this problem. I am amazed I am not seeing a response from us authorities on this important consumer issue.

Alarm will go off randomly. Clicking lock/unlock on the key fob does not turn the alarm off. Inserting the key into the door was the only way to turn the alarm off. The message "keyless start system problem" was displayed on the dash when I entered the car. I turned my car on, but when trying to turn the car off, there were clicking noises, the dash flickered repeatedly, and the car would not turn off. It took about 15 minutes of clicking the push start/stop button to get the car to turn off. It was towed to Honda (tow truck driver had trouble getting the car onto the bed because all of the safety braking features were randomly activating) and Honda replaced some wiring and said I was good to. Two days later the car wouldn't start. Had it towed to Honda again and they said it was a bad battery. They replaced the battery and sent me on my way. The next day the alarm went off again, same issue with not being able to turn it off, and the same keyless start system problem was on the dash. I started the car, then turned the car off, went into the house, and the alarm went off again 15 minutes later. I disconnected the battery and will take it back to Honda tomorrow. Note, when I popped the hood to disconnect the battery, the electricity turned back on in the car by itself. I now suspect the electricity is turning on by itself and after sitting idle for a while the alarm activates.

Gasoline in engine oil. My CRV has an oil level over the full mark on the dip stick and the oil smells of gasoline. This car often has to be given 40-50% throttle to back out of the driveway. I have included a picture of the oil level above the full mark. The smell you cant photograph.

At 6,000 miles engine is experiencing oil dilution. Oil is above max level on dipstick and smells strongly of gas, vehicle was cold and stationary when oil level was checked. Called a nearby Honda service center and they advised that the vehicle should be brought in for an oil change. The vehicle was just in for scheduled maintenance (including an oil change) 1,000 miles ago. An automobile should not require an oil change after 1,000 miles of use.

The 1.5 L turbo engine develops high oil level readings due to fuel contamination. I had several (12) system failure notices appear simultaneously. I took the car to the dealer and they stated that they "found that oil level was over full and smelled like fuel". also noticed that in cold weather, while driving, the front defroster is not warm enough and can't keep windshield clear resulting in poor or no visibility. This vehicle takes a very long time to warm up. Does not warm up at idle. Takes a very long time to warm up while in motion. The only way I've found to get the engine up to a proper temperature is to turn off econ mode, drive in sport mode and do not turn heater on.

At 15,000 miles, I have found that gasoline is contaminating the crankcase oil even though I do not live in a cold climate or drive very short distances. My local Honda dealer has confirmed this problem but has no fix and has received no guidance from Honda.
