I have an acceleration problem very cerium in my Honda Civic 2017, it is about acceleration, imagine that you are going on the freeway through the carpool and suddenly the driver in front stops if you try to brake but once you are not going to reach to brake the brake and accelerate trying to avoid the accident but your car after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating does not accelerate and you as you released the breakers you stay in the middle of the freeway for 5 seconds with cars going at 70 mph well that's just one of my many almost accidents because the acceleration pedal did not respond correctly, luckily neither my wife nor I have had accidents although both of us have felt that lack of acceleration when you need it and the worst thing is that the mechanics and agents of the dealer make fun of one telling me that it is a common problem or that my mat was poorly accommodated or that the mechanic tells me that he felt the fault but the last one on the paper says that they did not find anything and just do an "update" when my life and my wife's life have been at risk more than 1 time, I bring my car 10 times to the dealer and I always receive the same answer and this last time my wife bring the car and the solution for the problem the solution to the problem according to the mechanics was to do general maintenance on all fluids with costs above $ 800 because the warranty does not cover that even when my car is under warranty, for my part I took the car to another certified mechanic and after reviewing it he told me that everything was nonsense, all the fluids were clean. He also explained that it is illegal to recommend fluid change or maintenance of certain things without no reason and effectively the paper than the dealer gave me has no reason why they wanted to sell all that to my wife.

My oils is being diluted by fuel strong oder of gas from oil. Shows that it is over filled. When it is cold out side my engine feels like it is stuttering and it starts to click under acceleration. My car has already had fuel rail and injectors replaced under warranty for misfiring issues and my car has shut off on me multiple times while driving on busy 50 mph roads and had to coast into a parking lot. Every Honda dealer I've brought it to says this is normal and will not admit that my oil is diluted. But I heard them saying how bad the oil smell of gas

Fuel (gasoline) is seeping into the motor oil causing a overfill mark on oil dipstick and strong odor of gasoline when car is started. Oil viscosity seems to be "thinner" after 2000 + miles of driving.

Upon doing research on the tech that went into the motor of the 2017 si. I found that the same motor was in the 2017 CRV and there had been a recall on it for a fule problem. I did not find the exact problem on my vehicle however I did notice that when changeing oil there is a very strong gasoline smell. I'm afraid of there being damage to the motor due to loss of lubrication. (the date I'll put for when it happened will be the last date of an oil change.)

Fuel is mixing with oil. Oil dipstick reads higher when checked. Engine performance is sluggish. When checking oil, there is a strong gasoline smell. As a result, oil is significantly thinner when checked.

I have a 2017 Honda Civic with the 1.5 liter turbo. I started seeing lots of information on the Civic forum about oil dilution so I decided to have my engine oil analyzed. The report came back saying that the amount of fuel in my oil was greater than 5% which was deemed critical. This condition will cause engine failure and possible unsafe conditions.

The capless fuel design freezes shut preventing refueling until ice dam is defrosted. This could possibly leave someone stranded as I am.
