Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Honda CR-V - part 2

Engine oil dilution - gasoline is leaking into the engine and diluting the engine oil. It causes the engine to stall. It smells like gasoline a lot inside the car in the passenger seat. The engine does not get warmed up fast enough. The engine operates too cold even after driving about a mile distance. Another major issue is that the engine oil is leaking out. Leaked oil is observed under the engine where the transmission and the engine join. The dealers in us would not fix these issues or do not even have a fix for them although it is major issues for many 9th gen Cr-vs.

Purchased new 2018 Honda Cr-v awd December 2017 from dealer in orlando FL. Within first few months of ownership had multiple occasions where "gas/fuel" smell filled the cabin of car while driving. It was brought to my attention by a friend (late summer) that there appears to be issue with the 1. 5 l earthdreams Honda engine. Area of issue is oil dilution by fuel "leaking" into it & mixing. I then began researching this issue and was quite surprised to find that Honda had already recalled a huge number of vehicles in china with this oil dilution issue on this specific engine. When I called my Honda dealer to ask about issue/repair, I was told by service advisor that they were not aware of any issue of this type and there were no active recalls/tsbs regarding issue. Wow? that's when my concern level rose, as on the dealer level there seems to be complete denial/admittance of any problem. Other Honda owners of vehicles with this engine have experienced "gas odor" in cabin, poor performance and even stalling of engine while driving vehicle. I have not had a stalling issue (yet) - but I drive vehicle frequently in moderate /heavy traffic areas and can't imagine the danger that could result from my car "stalling" while I'm driving(or my wife or daughter). Another "check" to verify if my car has this issue is to examine oil level on dipstick. When my oil level is checked, the level tends to read high (even above full line on dipstick) and dipstick has strong smell of gasoline. Not good as it signals fuel is making it's way into my engine oil. Once fuel mixes with the oil it will break down the viscosity and engine will "wear our prematurely" or lead to failure. As of today (11/14/18) my car is not stalling out (about 15k miles on it) but my concern for safety is rising as Honda seems to be dragging their feet regarding admitting and fixing this dangerous issue.

Gasoline is leaking into the oil causing oil smell in car and making the oil thin and over the fill line on dip stick.

My car has about 8800 miles. Had the engine oil first changed at 6100 miles. Since then, the engine oil level keeps rising during normal use. The oil level is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the full line. Honda dealership says that nothing is wrong, and that no one else has had problems. When I had the oil changed by an independent mechanic, they stated the following: "oil consistency was like water and smells of gas. Oil registered overfilled. Oil is also leaking from rear main seal area. Recommend having this checked by Honda. " if you look online, there are plenty of complaints about oil dilution in the 1. 5 l turbo engine. Consumer reports investigated this issue and confirmed the problem. Because of oil dilution, some engines have been stalling while on the road. Not only is this a quality issue, but it is a safety issue in the long run.

I have smelled gasoline three times recently when driving. I called the Honda headquarters. They told me this problem is something they are working on. There is no fix for it at this time. They claim gas leaks into the oil filter which can affect the engine. I am concerned about my safety snd a possible engine problem. I have received no satisfaction. In addition I have had two other major problems in the short time I am driving my car. My battery needed to be replaced 7 months after I drove out of the dealership I was parked in a parking lot when my battery died. Recently the gear shift knob broke off when it was in drive and I was not able to shift gears. I was dropping off a passenger. It was replaced.

I purchased my car from brown's Honda 712 crain highway, glen burnie, MD 21061 on June 20,2017. On October 6, 2018 ibecame aware of a very serious problem with my car that has the new 1. 5 l turbocharged engine. I noticed that the oil level, as shown on the dip stick, was at least 0. 5 inches above the top fill mark. I immediately drained the oil and discovered that the volume of oil was 4. 75 quarts or 28% above the car's specification of 3. 7 quarts. The drained oil was very black in color and to the touch felt less viscous than new 0-20 oil. It appears that the increased volume is due to gasoline mixing with the oil. On oct 6,2018 (current odometer reading11467 miles) the oil had run in the engine for about 5400 miles. My first oil change at the dealer was at 6000 miles on 4/16/2018. As you are aware, dilutionof the oil with gasoline is a serious problem that will inevitably lead to premature engine failure and operability/safety problems in the future such as stalling. I visited the brown's Honda dealership today 10/8/2018 and explained the issue stated above. The service director, advised me to keep checking the oil level and come back if any running issues occur. The dealer isunable to correct the issue of gasoline leaking into the oil. This problem substantially impairs the future value of my car and potentially it's safety. Gasoline in the engine oil will lead to premature engine failure.

2018 crv-exl purchased on 9/3/18, our 5th Honda (3rd crv), currently at 620 miles. We've always been impressed with the reliability of Honda vehicles, until recently. Last Friday (10/8/18), cnn news reported on a consumer reports (cr) article regarding the crv 2018 engine problems, involving fuel mixing w/ engine oil. Apparently, there's an issue regarding gas mixing w/ oil in 2017 & 2018 Honda crvs with 1. 5-liter engines, possibly causing stalling and engine damage. Numerous cr and NHTSA complaints involved stalling, loss of power, and smell of gas in the passenger cabin. Honda is working on a fix next month. Owners are advised to check the oil level on their crvs as it will be higher and less viscous if mixed w/ gas. We checked our crv's oil last night and noticed the strong smell of gas on the dipstick. Brought the crv this morning to our Honda dealership. Service rep reported that their test revealed no gas mixed w/ the oil and that the smell is from a special oil additive that Honda uses in new vehicles. We were advised to bring the crv back for an oil change at 1500 miles. Rep was not aware of the cr & NHTSA complaints on gas leaking into the engine oil, until we told him. We agreed to bring the crv back for the oil change. Called Honda to confirm the fix in November and mentioned our visit to the dealership. Customer rep insisted that Honda does not put any oil additive in the new crvs and that I was miss-informed by the service rep. I was referred to the crv manual on page 572, stating that oil additives may adversely affect the engine performance and durability. I was assured that Honda engineers are working on the fix for the problem. I was directed to take my crv to another dealership for a 2nd opinion and oil analysis. We're in the �wait and see� mode until the fix is deployed next month.

There is gasoline leaking into my oil. There is over 1 quart of oil in my 4 quart oil pan. The oil level on the dip stick is 1/2" higher than the maximum level on the dipstick and the oil reeks of gasoline. Honda has tried, but failed to fix this. I can smell the gas in the cabin and when it is parked in the garage. I contacted a major oil company if the ratio of gas to oil would cause a problem and he said it was "alarming" I am concerned about the odor of gas, specifically the benzene which is present in gasoline. I am concerned about a possible fire too. We have had the dealer change the oil two times now even though the vehicle is almost brand new and was not supposed to have it's first oil change until 10k miles on it.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were driving on the interstate and noticed a gasoline smell in the passenger compartment, which lasted a short period of time and went away. On another occasion we noticed the smell again. I checked the fuel fill tube but found no problem there. I also checked under the hood and detected a fuel smell but saw no evidence of a leak. While under the hood I checked the oil and smelled a strong fuel smell in the oil. The fluid level on the dipstick was 7/8� above full level. I checked and double checked the levels and smell and there was definitely gasoline in the oil. I contacted the dealership (johnson city Honda in johnson city, TN) and was told that this was a characteristic of the 1. 5l engine when it was driven at low speeds and should be �driven at higher speeds on the freeway to �burn off� the fuel in the oil�! (we had just returned from a 750 mile interstate trip). They did change the oil but there was no resolution to the problem. Since then the oil level has increased to �� above full level and the fuel smell is present. In my opinion, gasoline in the oil presents a safety hazard in that it can ignite under extreme heat conditions and can cause respiratory issues with passengers when the smell migrates to the passenger compartment. I have received information that Honda has recalled approximately 350,000 of these vehicles in the asian market, but they have not made any attempt to correct the problem in the u. S.

-I noticed oil/gas leak on the engine that slowly drips under. The engine oil smells gas, oil level goes up. - lane departare goes off when car is idle for more than 15mins (randomly) - navigation/audio acts up -changes screen and nonstop beeping. You need to turn the engine off to stop it-reset.

I heard that there is oil level increase problem on this make, model, and year's engine because of fuel leak, so I checked the engine oil level a few hundred miles after changing the oil and found that the oil level is much higher than the maximum mark on the dipstick. I brought the car to dealer previously, complaining of a smell of gas in the oil when I checked it initially, and they said it is fine, that nothing is wrong. Both times of checking the oil, the car was in my garage, stationary, on level ground.

Fuel-oil smell in cabin and outside the car when it is parked in-door after drive. Fuel in oil. The oil level exceeds maximum. Gasoline smell in the oil. The car does not comply with the manufacturer's technical specification. Risks and potential impacts: the odor causes irritation of respiratory system. It can cause health problems. According to Honda : "overfilling the engine oil can result in leaks and engine damage. " the diluted by gasoline or any other substance oil impacts engine work and the air turbine which is lubricated and cooled by engine oil. I am afraid of the car engine may stop on a road causing a collision.

My new 2017 Honda crv ex that only has 6850 miles driven on it has a terrible defect with oil dilution issues due to fuel leaking into the oil pans causing overflow and dilution to the oil that is supposed to be lubricating the engine. The oil smells very potent of fuel and almost 1 quart of extra fluid was drained from the oil pan when taken into the dealer after reporting the issue. The dealer agreed that there was a major issue with fuel diluting into the oil but were told by the Honda corporate tech line that they were to just replace the oil until a fix comes out. The dealer technicians asked about changing the fuel injectors or maybe a cylinder head replacement but were told not to do anything. It is not safe to release these cars back to the owner knowing there is an defect issue that they didn't even really attempt to fix that is causing internal engine parts to break down faster than normal and could cause serious safety concerns due to eventual breakdowns leading to wrecks. The companies "fix" is to go in for an oil change every 500-1000 miles even though excessive fuel is still mixing with the oil. Honda has reported that this is happening in colder climates, but I am still having major issues with this in tennessee weather.

I bought this 2017 crv exl-nav awd in 05/2017. We did the first maintenance on March 17 to chance oil at 8000 miles. There is oil leakage, I will talk this on another complaint. I heard that there is oil excessive problem on this 1. 5t engine, so I checked the engine oil level at about 8800 miles and found that the oil level is more than 10mm higher than the maximum mark on the lipstick. I brought the car to dealer and they said it is fine. I am very upset with their answer. I have attached the photo, the oil level is exceeding the orange plastic to the metal part. Actually crv has been stopped for sale in china for 2 months until Honda initiate a recall and extend the warranty to 6 years. Reliability is the main reason I bought Honda, now I am so disappointed. Will not consider any Honda unless they offer a satisfactory solution.

Gasoline is leaking in to the oil. Oil is way above full mark on dip stick and the odor of gasoline is present. First noticed what appeared to be increases in oil on the dip stick about 6 months ago.

My car stalled, it had stalled before. I meant to go in and have the dealer look at it but I did not do that. On April 10th 2018 I went to pull out on hwy 78, from my road weekend villa, my car stalled, and I was hit head-on and put in the hospital. I did not realize how dangerous the stalling would be. .

An alarming amount of gasoline is leaking into the engine oil. Also the car produces little heat when the heater is on.

I purchased the vehicle with 16 miles on it; I bought it brand new. It leaked oil and transmission fluid all over my garage and while driving the car. I had a significant oil and transmission leak. Had to to tow the car to be repaired. The same issue happened again where it dumped all the oil out of the engine, and they had to fix it for a second time. They informed me there wasn't any oil left in my engine and this was right after an oil change. They said this never happens, but it did twice. My 36,000-mile warranty is almost up, and I have a feeling this is an ongoing issue. Last time it leaked, it took them three months to fix it. I paid a lot of money when I bought my first new car ever. It's a shame I bought a lemon, and I'm paying monthly for it. This issue needs to be addressed because my car start light always blinks on and off also, and they can't figure it out. Also, my touchscreen has frozen and let the radio on full blast while I was driving and wouldn't shut off on more than one occasion.

Bought this 2017 crv exl-nav awd in 05/2017. We did the first maintenance on March 17 to chance oil in the dealership and they found there is oil leakage. They scheduled a another day to fix it by adding some silica glue under warranty. I can not believe a new car within 1 year and 8000 miles has oil leaking issue. Reliability is the main reason I bought Honda, now I am so disappointed.

The vehicle was recalled and the service completed by the dealer for the issue of fuel getting into the engine oil. I drove the vehicle 1500 miles of which 1000 miles was higway travel over 2 days. Now the oil dip stick level is one inch above the 'max fill dot'. The owners manual states 'do not fill the engine oil above the upper mark. ' 'over flling the engine oil can result in leaks and engine damage. '.

I purchased a 2017 Honda crv-ex with the 1. 5 turbo engine in November 2017 and plan to give this car to my niece as a graduation present in 2019. I took it for its first oil change, at 137 miles, and the dealer told me that there was gasoline in the oil. After the oil change, I researched the issue and discovered that many people (2017 Honda crv owners with the 1. 5 turbo engine) in the USA had this problem. The details are listed in the Honda forums and on edmunds. I also saw that Honda was recalling 350k 2017-2018 crvs with the 1. 5 turbo engine , in china, as the software needed to be updated. It appears that the fuel ejectors were supplying too much gasoline and the residual gasoline was leaking around the cylinders into the oil. I requested Honda-USA to get access to this software update via my local dealer (boch Honda west in westford, MA). It is my understanding that the software update is available. Honda-USA sent me a response indicating that there was no recall on my vehicle and I should go back to the dealer. I have called the dealer, again, but they cannot do much without the software update. I told Honda-USA that this problem is very concerning for the future of the engine reminded them that their dealer found the problem of gasoline in the engine and that both I and the dealer were concerned. My case number with Honda is 07116734. Some of the web sites (links) that further define the problem ate as follow: 1) https://www. Reuters. . Read more...

Gasoline leaking into the engine lubrication oil reducing the engine lubrication ability.

Since the purchase of our new 2017 Honda Cr-v, there has been gasoline getting into the engine oil. The oil level indicator or dip-stick shows the oil far above the full mark and there is an obvious strong oder of gasoline. When first starting the car, gasoline odors are very strong in the exhaust and sometimes within the car interior. Gasoline is considered a solvent and it will reduce the life of the engine if it is always leaking into the engine oil. I'm very concerned about safety and an engine fire. I contacted the service department three times about the problem. At my last visit, Honda finally acknowledge the problem a provided a software update. The problem remains unchanged. I'm very disappointed and frustrated with my new car and want some help getting it fixed or help with returning the car back to Honda and reimbursed for the cost. The problem occurs all the time, in cold and warm weather.
