Engine Failure problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Honda Cr-v. While the contact's friend was driving 75 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact's friend claimed that she smelled an odor coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was pulled over and turned off. When the contact's friend attempted to restart the vehicle, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was towed to port charlotte Honda (1252 tamiami trail, port charlotte, FL 33953, 941-564-3343) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed. The dealer informed the contact that they repaired the motor and changed the battery; however, the failure recurred three days later. The contact took the vehicle back to the same dealer and was informed that the battery was never changed and that they would replace the battery to repair the defect. The manufacturer was notified regarding the failures and complaint number: 09758024 was filed. The failure mileage was 24,600.

Had the first oil changed at 5,658 miles in October, 2018. Mentioned the fuel in oil issue with 1. 5 liter turbo engines (per consumer reports) to service rep at annapolis Honda. He claimed to have never heard of it. Checked my oil today (12/21/18, 7,600 miles), oil level is elevated approx. 1/2 inch above the fill line from October with strong gasoline smell in the oil. Honda claims to have a fix for this but will only roll it out in northern tier states in the us. Problem is much more widespread and needs to be implemented nationally. Potential for premature engine failure and fire if not fixed.

Gasoline smell in vehicle, gasoline overfilling engine oil. Gasoline smell in vehicle shortly after starting when cold. Vehicle is parked when the smell is noticed. I'm also worried that with the oil mixing with the oil that engine failure may happen.

The oil level reading is above the full mark on the dipstick. The dealer has told me that it is normal for this engine to do this. They tell me they do not have a fix for it. Problem with this overfilling is that gasoline is deluting engine oil which may cause engine failure and lead to an accident.

Experiencing rising oil levels due to high levels of gasoline being entrained in the oil. This is causing the oil to become increasingly thin and potentially cause an engine failure. The vehicle was stationary and on a flat surface during each of the oil checks.

My 1. 5l turbo charged engine has a strong gasoline odor in the engine oil. So gasoline is mixing with my engine oil and may cause early engine failure or a safety issue. I noticed the gasoline smell when changing my engine oil and the car is parked.

Fuel smell, oil dilution, potential unexpected engine failure.

I have fuel in my oil and there have been numerous other reports of the same. There is also a class action lawsuit involving the 2017-2018 Honda Cr-v and civic vehicles that are experiencing fuel contamination of the engine oil that could result the failure of engine bearing and other internal components. This may result in catastrophic engine failure or stalling while driving. Japan's Honda to recall 350,000 over this engine issue. Migliaccio & rathod llp is investigating potential claims of fuel dilution and buildup in the engine oil of 2017-2018 Honda Cr-v and civic vehicles with the 1. 5l turbo engine. Under normal circumstances, un-combusted gasoline accumulates in the lubricant oil pan and evaporates under heat from the engine, that then ends up back in the engine combustion chamber as fuel. In cold temperatures, however, the engine may not warm up enough to evaporate the un-combusted gasoline. Honda owners are reporting that this leads to gasoline diluting the engine oil which manifests in a strong smell of gasoline inside the cabin, in the short term, and gasoline in the oil that may lead to engine damage in the long term. Some drivers have reported that the car's check-engine light has switched on as result. Honda has already issued a recall in china for the same 2017-2018 Cr-v's and civics, but has yet to issue a recall here in the us.

2017 Honda crv with 1. 5 l turbo 4 cylinder engine. Health hazard: noted gasoline fumes in cabin after starting the car. The fumes are coming in through the ventilation system. Happening in both cold and hot weather. Car has 30k miles on it. Fumes noticed when car is stationary after starting it. Also found to have gas entering oil pan, diluting the oil, and causing high oil levels. Similar reports from many other owners of this vehicle with this engine and apparently a major recall in china for the problem. Am concerned about hydrocarbon levels in the passenger cabin which can be a major health hazard. Just because the fumes dissipate after a minute or so does not necessarily mean that the hydrocarbon levels in the cabin are normal for the rest of the ride. Other major concern is premature wear on the engine due to gas mixing with oil. Another concern is reports of crvs with this problem stalling at high speeds and failing to accelerate properly. Honda USA has not addressed the problem as of this date nor have they offered any solutions. I feel like I wasted over $30k on a vehicle that is now unsafe and destined to premature engine failure. I think there needs to be a recall to fix this problem.

The new generation of crv vehicles have a significant problem regarding oil dilution with fuel and other liquids. This is a serious problem and can result in premature engine failure as well as other problems. We shouldn't have to change our oil every 500 miles just to make sure it isn't too high. Honda is aware of this problem, yet they are slacking on finding a fix. This problem may potentially be affecting hundreds of thousands of vehicles. China already halted sales of crvs until they fix this problem. Dear Honda, fix this problem! the longer you slack, the more customers (like me) you will lose in the future. If you value your reputation as a reliable car maker, then do your due diligence and get this problem fixed.

Vehicle purchased new in 8/17 and has 8900 miles. Touring trim with 1. 5l turbo engine and awd. Oil level has increased well above full mark after both of two oil changes done since purchased and smells strongly of fuel. Last oil change was done just 375 miles back. Dealer denies there is a problem with the vehicle, even though there are numerous reports and NHTSA complaints on record. I am concerned about possible engine failure due to inadequate lubrication / possible collision due to engine failure while driving. Will continue to followup with dealer service department and document actions taken in order to support any future legal action to remedy this serious defect.
