Couldn't hardly BREATHE AS SEVERE FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR VENTS. AND OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS. I had been smelling it off and on but thought it was coming from cars around me! This smell has been going on a few days. But car was parked all day, moved it a couple of feet and the fumes about made me throw up and couldn't breath. Call Honda they said it was drill under warranty and it would get fixed.

Oil dilution issue in my 2019 Honda CRV. Gas getting into the oil and stalling the vehicle. Honda dealership changed oil, spark plugs and differential fluid. I was told to drive the vehicle more. The issue was not fixed and gas is still getting into the oil and continuing to damage the engine. The dealership hasn-€™t taken responsibility of this issue or the Honda Corporation. I contacted them and get no response back.
On Feb.15, 2022 traveling on I-95 in the passing lane outside Florence S.C. we experienced a drastic loss of power over the course of less than a minute making it difficult to pull over to a slower lane and stop on the right side of the road to find an exit or stop safely. We eventually got over and were able to travel approximately 25 mph to an exit in Florence S.C to Cale Yarborough Honda dealership where the problem was determined as failure of number four fuel injector. Fortunately, with a pet in the car they had all parts necessary for repairs which included fuel injector set, plug top coil assembly, and ignition coil. we were released after approximately 5-1/2 hours with no additional problems. Considering the traffic, lane location, posted speed and the drastic loss of power my wife and I were very concerned about our safe exit off of I-95, and were very lucky to find a dealership with needed parts in stock. We were told by the dealership in Florence and Roanoke Va. that similar problems are occuring in 2018, 2019 and 2020 CRV's, Pilots and Sedans. All parts and service costs were paid under factory warranty.
I just started driving and I lost all pick up car went down to 8mph, wouldn-€™t go any faster.Fortunately I managed to get on a side street and make it to a church parking lot. if I would have been trying to get across traffic, this could have been dangerous let alone just stopping on the road. I called the Dealership and they gave me the number for there towing company (would be 3-5 hrs) called AAA would have been even longer. The police called a tow truck for me. They towed it to the dealership. Result gasoline in oil. Later I learned this is a problem called Oil Dilution with these cars.The dealership changed the oil, filter and spark plugs.All of my warning lights were flashing. They say this happened because of driving short trips. I-€™ve had cars that I drove the same distance to work and back, never had any problems. The car I had ran great, just wanted to make sure I had a reliable car as I-€™m getting older(67)

2019 Honda CRV. I have noticed that my oil has an amount of gas over 5% twice by analysis. I am worried about the problem of oil dilution that Honda CRV's (model year 2017 & 2018) have had. I fear that I will have premature engine damage and more important loss of power or stalling on the highway as the 1.5 liter direct injection Honda CRV engines have experienced.
This is a reproducible software glitch that can be consistently triggered by bringing the car to a stop on a slippery surface, and then flooring the gas pedal to spin the wheels with the transmission in 'd'. after the wheels have spun, the transmission shifts erratically while driving until the car is restarted
I have purchased Honda CRV 2019 0N 02/18/2019. Initially the car performance was awesome. My first visit at first Texas Honda on 10/04/2019, to fix tyre puncher. When primary technician reminded me about security recalls then I asked to fix all the 3 recalls (1. 2019 CR-V fi-ECU self shutdown software product update, 2.2019 CR-V steering wheel controls & SRS sub-wire satefy recall, 3. 2019 CR-V incorrect owner's guide non-compliance recall) second visit at the same dealer on 10/17/2019 to explain all the issues I was facing after security recalls. The reported issues are high engine noise, sluggish acceleration, steering wheel tight and brake pedal feels very low while applying brake. Honda dealers did not accept the main issue while is high engine noise and sluggish acceleration. They simply deny saying no alerts showing on the dashboard. Raised support cases (given below) with american Honda and I feel I did not get right support because american Honda says we value our customers but they say our authorized dealer should check and confirm on the car issue. But dealers not agree to the issues, simply denying the issues. American Honda support case numbers: 1) 09952327 during Oct 2019. 2) 10214175 during Feb 2020. 3) 202888213 during December 2020 but the issues were not resolved. As a third party review, I approached Firestone, austin for inspection they did a test ride and confirmed with a report on the issues sluggish acceleration and steering hardness. But american Honda denied Firestone inspection report as they believe only authorized dealer, who are not acknowledging the issues. If any person who drive new Honda CR-V and try my car they agree in first attempt that engine noise is high and the car speed pick-up is very poor. I need help from NHTSA asap bcoz my new CR-V which is still in warranty but no-body accepts the car engine issue to fix it.
The first this happen was when I park and I turn off the car but the dashboard was still on and then appears most of the signals on and some weird code on the dashboard and is been for months like that and also like 2 months ago start as I was driving all of a sudden seems the car reduce the speed and I press the gas and doesn't do anything
Vehicle keeps gaining oil level from burned fuel even though the dealer installed the software update. I live in the South so the cold weather is not the issue. I am an industrial mechanic for 47 years and do my own maintenance so I know what the correct level is. The dealer says there is no fix but diluted fuel leads to damage and if severe, can cause engine failure and accident. The image posted is about 7K miles on oil change and the level is above the level marker pad. The second issue is the electronic display fails to function which allows access to vehicle information and control access. The dealer replaced the unit but this issue goes back to 2016 and so far, do not know if the replacement will solve the issue since it was replaced with a remanufactured part, not new. The dealer replaced the unit really not telling Honda the truth about the failure type, they said it was sound system issue when they knew for a fact there was none as I gave them a video and a letter describing the issue. One part is 1000 dollars and the other 1800 dollars, a stiff cost when warranty runs out. Their fix is an extended warranty at a couple of hundred a month. A win win for them and a loss to the consumer. The failure was sporatic and happened driving or parked. The failure date is just for the electronic part but oil issue has been from the beginning.
We were driving on a straight section of road at 80mph on I-24 E when the engine light came on and we lost power to the wheels but the engine was still running. There was no jerking motion or any sign of trouble when this happened. We had to coast in heavy traffic with semi-trucks all around us to get to the right hand shoulder for a safe place. Honda's reply to the dealer was to change the oil out if there was gas in the oil. There was gas in the oil when the dealer checked so they replaced the oil. No other fix was suggested by Honda to the dealer even though this problem was supposed to be fixed for the 2019 models as it had initiated field repairs for the 2017 & 2018 models. The fix was supposed to be implemented at the assembly plants before the 2019 models were sold.
I hit a large deer on the interstate highway at a speed of 60 to 65 mph. There was considerable damage to the front of the car. I have pictures. The airbags did not deploy. There were 2 people in the car, no one was hurt.
2019 Honda CRV ex. Engine oil getting into the oil. Oil dipstick way above the allowed maximum mark. Just bought it in September 2019 and has only 4,600 miles. Oil gauge shows 40% left before next change. Dealer told me not to bring it until it gets to 15% and that there is no danger driving it.
Fuel is diluting engine oil. You smell gas in garage and hear the vacuum pump running that is in the pollution control system. Highest oil level has been 6.5 quarts drained out of engine. Right now it took 200 miles to increase oil level a half inch on drip stick. CR-V purchased 4-9-19. Took in first in 8-27-19 for vacuum pump running on and off while vehicle was parked in garage. Dealer had no idea where the sound was coming from and sent us home. Continues today.
Gasoline is getting into the oil. Just as it has been reported in the 2017 and 18 models, 1.5 liter turbo charged engine. I have heard that the 2020 model has the gasoline oil dilution problem also. This issue was identified on the first oil change. We were asking by the dealer to get the oil level checked every 1000 miles, we just had that happen and the oil level was recorded as slightly high. It smells of gasoline. The dealer told us Honda is working on a solution. In the meantime our engine is making metal and it's life is getting shorter and shorter. Lack of lubrication. Purchased CR-V new 9/4/19, last oil level check was 4/30/20.
There is a strong gasoline smell in the cabin immediately after starting the vehicle. The smell is strongest when the engine has already been warmed up. I have taken the CR-V in to the dealer twice and they have not been able to resolve the issue.
Developed oil dilution problem, to the point where it damaged my spark plugs and the engine had trouble running, had to be towed to dealership. Cause smoking under the hood and shakiness in the middle of driving, wheel locked up and I couldn't steer, all warning lights came on the dash together, not safe at all.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the vehicle hesitated with multiple unknown warning lights illuminated.
