2018 HONDA CR-V

Was put on back order on May 1 2023 for fuel injector, I am still waiting, Phillipsburg Honda dealership said that they are still waiting for parts, unbelievable, will never advise anyone to buy Honda vehicles.

My vehicle has continuously showed dash board lights for every possible malfunction. I have had the thermostat replaced, all for spark plugs. Recently I have had the fuel injector removed and cleaned. The mechanic working on my vehicle has told me that there are no injectors in the nation available causing him to buy a tool to remove and clean them.
I am extremely frustrated and not sure where to go. I was so excited to purchase this vehicle 2 years ago. However my party was short lived. I just want the issue fixed so I can drive worry free and keep the Honda experience the best it can be.

I was having software issues after a temperature drop and snowing happened. I had my CR-V taken to McGrath Honda to fix the software at 0700hrs. I was told it would take longer and they would call me later. At approximately 1500hrs I was called and asked if they could take off the valve cover to check for sludge as they stated was covering the dipstick. I later had my personal mechanic come with me to the dealership and infront of the dealership employee there was no sludge on the dipstick or under the oil cap and that the motor is still running fine as the oil will be changed soon as a sample will be sent to Pennzoil for testing. No metal bits or sludge present. I informed the service to not change the oil or filter but they still did the next day against my request. After a software update recall was done on 03/27/2022 by McGrath Honda of St Charles IL and a test drive on by their service department, they claimed a P0299 code showed up and was cleared. I requested to have my CR-V picked up so I can take it to another shop that has worked on it but McGrath Honda service claimed they needed to hold it until 03/28/2022 now. On 03/28/2022 they claimed the code returned and now my turbo charger has exploded into the engine and I need to pay $7200 for another engine and I will not be able to take it to my mechanic. Car is still waiting at McGrath as American Honda corporations has refused to call me back or honor the power train warranty coverage extension for my 2018 CR-V with the fuel/oil issues that is known to wear out parts.

AC air not cold enough. Took to dealer. They said it was the compressor. Close to $2000 to fix. Out of warranty by 2 months. I said if the compressor went bad after 3000 miles it must be a mfg defect. Am I wrong? Most compressors live the life of the car, at least 60 or 70,000 miles.

Engine oil level is rising. Diluted with gasoline. Have drained on average 1 additional quart of oil with each of 3 oil changes. Vehicle only has

Driving on city street and interstate the infotainment system in the vehicle will randomly go out. this has happened in the past but has progressively gotten worse. the infotainment system houses the gps and climate control (defrost) system along with the car settings (adas) and entertainment system. when you are dependent on the gps for navigation and you loose the directions you go into a panic situation trying to figure things out. when the windshield fogs and you can't use the defrost system it becomes a visibility issue. dealership has updated the software but still continues to happen.

I was driving on the san mateo bridge , car began hesitating and jerking up and down and lost power engine light came up. took it to pep boys they diagnosed it and said it needed coils and spark plugs , about $ 1000 later took the car hoe and continued to do the same thing, took it back to pep boys and said there was a recall on that car for that problem . took it to primo honda and they say there is no recall on my vin # even though is clear that is the reason they are having a recall on those cars for that very same reason.vin:5j6rw6h3xjl001965year:2018make:hondamodel:cr-vlast updated:may 11, 2021number of open recalls:0......year:2018make:hondamodel:cr-vlast updated:may 11, 2021number of open recalls:1 open/close allprint 2018-19 cr-v fuel pump motor safety recall expansion took it to another better qualified mechanic and he says is a problem with the fuel pump. is very unsafe the car simply loses all power and died on the freeway. i,ve been car less , renting since may first 2021, it is inmoral what honda does.

For no apparent reason all dash warning lights (forward collision warning, etc.) begin flashing when the vehicle is being driven (one right after the other). the first time this happened the warning lights stopped eventually. about one month later the same thing occurred but the warning lights would not quit. took it to the dealer and they replaced the fuel injectors and fuel pipe at a cost of $2029.00. this car only has 32,746 miles on it. from what i understand fuel injectors should last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles. we also had to replace the tires. of course it was not covered under warranty.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, the sun roof glass fractured without impact. the vehicle was taken to cma’s valley honda (296 lee jackson hwy, staunton, va 24401) to be inspected. the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the fracture. the dealer replaced the sun roof glass. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 32,000.

All of the warning lights are lighting up in the instrument panel. the car was parked and turned on (idle) in driveway when all the instrument panel lights turned on. 2 days later, they all turned off. then 2 days later they all turned on again when the car was idle in driveway. multiple warning lights are on, including power steering problem, however, the power steering is fine. car runs normally. i read online this is an issue with multiple honda 2017-2018 cr-v's. most people have spent a lot of money at dealerships and never fixed the problem. i replaced the battery 1 yr ago because the factory battery died. not sure if the 2 are related.

I purchased my 2018 honda cr-v ex 2wd in florida april 2018. i have approximately 15,000 miles on it now. i travel through indiana and ohio during the year, including winter months. i have smelled gasoline fumes in the car and have smelled gasoline in the oil especially in winter months when i am traveling north. i called honda corp about the oil dilution problem and the tsb 18-114 and tsb 18-124 that were addressed to fix the problem. they told me that it only covers northern states. i explained that i travel through northern states during the year and have experienced gasoline fumes in the cabin and also in the oil. they told me to take it in to a dealer when i am in indiana and ohio during the winter. the problem with that is i am at work and unable to take the time off to go to a dealer, not until i get home to florida and then the problem appears to be gone. so i am only requesting that tsb 18-114 and 18-124 be applied to my vehicle also. the "fix" to oil dilution should not just be applied to northern states when many of us travel through northern states in the winter. i am going to pursue this if i don't hear back from honda corp after their previous call to me did not do anything to address my problem. i just want the tib's applied to my vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 honda odyssey. the contact stated that while driving 75 mph, the vehicle abruptly stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. the contact stated that the failure was experienced twice. the vehicle was coasted to the shoulder, restarted, and the vehicle resumed normal functionality. the vehicle was taken to mansfield motor group (1493 park avenue w, ontario, oh 44907, (888) 577-2689. the vehicle was not diagnosed. while the contact was inspecting the vehicle, he became aware that the engine oil level was much higher than normal. the contact stated that there was gasoline mixed in with the engine oil. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted or informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Many times i start and drive the car and the yellow warning lights stay on and and also the red light brake keep blinking. when this hapen cruise, presure tires malfuncion. one the las time i parked and turn off and when i tried to star again the brakes stay engaged and no go any wheare. i have to disconect the batery 2 times for reset the alarms. also when i drive low speed the motor start to stalling. when i changed motor oil i smelled gas and old oil is mix with gas and is more volume that the original

I am interested in obtaining additional records related to 2 complaints for this 2018 honda cr-v. the prior nhtsa id numbers are 1185601; incident date 1/5/19 and nhtsa id number: 11283193, incident date 11/29/19. i checked the bos for "request research" but no option was provided to get the research. i am interested in obtaining any additional records relates to these complaints.

2018 cr-v all warning light came on after starting car in preparation to go to work. as i was pulling out of driveway car was not getting any power car fluttered and i smelled gas. i turned it off then restarted it was ok. i took it to the dealership. they performed: (93760 tech verified concern.pulled codes p0300; p0301; p0302; p0303; p0304 and p0172.found warranty extension open for vehicle.19-032. 1245b6a 110 reset the maintenance minder.updated the pgm-fi and tcu software.replaced the oil;ac control unit and throttle position reset and pcm idle learn procedure.inspected spark plugs. 1245b6/.8 1245b6a/.3 03217/03214 fpn:37805-5pa-a85 and software update that they said the car needed and the lights went off. few days later light came back on went back to dealership then was told i needed the 4 fuel injectors $1300 to replace them. did some research online to find that several people are having the same issue. while these lights are on there is no cruise control, lane assist or anything. called honda and there was no known issue. dealership suggested maybe honda will pay to fix issue... well, of course no such luck.

Since new, engine intermittently stalls for a several seconds and then recovers with a burst of acceleration. happens mainly at intersections when stopped or rolling at a very slow speed and turning either left or right. dealer cannot diagnose the problem, and i cannot purposely duplicate the problem at will. however, it averages happening every approximately once per week. it happened 4/2/2021, on a heavy traffic loop and caused a fender bender accident. this could have been a major accident resulting in serious injury or death. after investigation, i find engine stalling is a common problem with this model honda.

Tl* the contact called on behalf of his sister who owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while his sister was driving 50 mph, the vehicle stopped inadvertently with the brake warning light illuminated. the contact believed that the forward collision sensor failed since there were no other vehicles in close proximity at the time of the failure. the contact called floyd traylor honda service & sales (3200 s zero st, fort smith, ar 72908, (479) 434-5975) and frank fletcher honda (2921 moberly ln, bentonville, ar 72712, (479) 715-8622) and was informed to have the vehicle taken in to be diagnosed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 51,500. the vin was not available.

The touchscreen on the main infotainment display failed to work immediately on startup of the vehicle. in addition the mechanical volume/power button on the display would not work either. radio control (source/station/volume) was available thru steering wheel controls but no other functions of the display were available. a normal key cycle did not resolve the issue.

The heating/ cooling system does not function very well in cold temperatures. i live in michigan and it takes a long time for the cabin to heat up in the winter, and on short trips it does not heat up sufficiently, even when i let the car "warm up" in the driveway for a long time before i drive away. while this may seem like a minor inconvenience, it is also a safety hazard as the windows keep fogging up, making it difficult to see. the rear windows are hard to keep defrosted and visibility is very limited when making a lane change and having to check my blind spot. i sometimes have to lower my back windows in order to check my blind spot, but that is also limited because the windows do not go down all the way. i always have to do this when they fog up because i almost side swiped another vehicle due to limited visibility due being unable to defrost the windows properly. from all of the complaints that i have read online, i am not the only one having this problem, and one would think that the manufacturer would address this issue as it is a safety concern.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while his daughter was driving up hill at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle decelerated and stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was towed to thelen honda (1020 n. euclid ave, bay city, mi 48706, (989) 402-0532) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the turbo needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000. the vin was not available.

Dilution of the engine oil with gasoline, causing level to rise. smell of gasoline outside vehicle. dealer says honda techline told them this is normal. my vin is not part of honda's extended warranty as an answer to this issue.

After running the vehicle for more than 10-15 miles from start the steering sticks and jerky while making a curve and won’t move back out of this catch without applying an extra force. this could cause the vehicle to cut the lane unintentionally and is dangerous. i had taken it to the dealer on 3/16/21 and they couldn’t recreate the problem as they won’t drive more than 5miles. i am getting this problem every time i drive more than 10-15 miles.

I would like to report a potential safety issue that exists in my 2018 honda cr-v. the infotainment system on my honda will, arbitrarily, cycle through various menus and start beeping loudly. this is extremely distracting and diverts the driver's attention away from the road. it is unbelievably annoying and it completely destroys a driver's situational awareness. after doing some research, i have found that this is an endemic problem with the 2017-2019 cr-v as well as other honda models. it can occur at any time while driving and numerous examples of this failure mode can be found on youtube. honda, has suggested that the software is at fault and issued an update, but this has done nothing to solve the problem. in the interest of safety, i write this letter in the hope that the national highway safety administration takes action and investigates this recurring problem. there are countless stories on honda forums of drivers being distracted and removing their attention from the road as the center infotainment screen starts flashing and beeping incessantly. ref:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu60q1cb5k4

The tire was purchased 3/18 and with less than 50 miles on the tire the sidewall failed and blew out at 70 mph. tire was less than a day old and no object was hit to cause the failure.

Unintended acceleration from stop. with the engine at normal operating temperature, transmission in drive, and the vehicle stopped at a stop sign or traffic light, when i remove my foot from the brake pedal, the engine rpm instantly and abruptly increases from 700 rpm to approximately 1000 rpm. the vehicle moves ahead suddenly with no pressure on the accelerator pedal, and can reach a speed of 7 mph on level pavement. the same acceleration occurs when i am moving very slowly into a parking space or garage and my foot is pressing lightly on the brake pedal -- the engine rpm increases suddenly and the vehicle "jumps" ahead, requiring increased pressure on the brake pedal to prevent acceleration. i believe that this condition constitutes a safety hazard because the driver does not expect the vehicle to move ahead with no pressure on the accelerator pedal, and therefore the vehicle could impact the vehicle ahead of it, a wall or parking barrier ahead of it, or a pedestrian crossing in front of it. i have taken the vehicle to two honda dealers for this condition (september 25, 2020 and march 12, 2021). the first service report stated "system scan found no dtcs, road tested and found all normal." the report from the second dealer stated "check and found normal/proper operation." this condition has existed since we bought the vehicle (new) on september 18, 2018. i firmly believe that this condition is not normal and has the definite potential to cause damage to the vehicle, other vehicles, property, or pedestrians. honda should be required to fix this problem.

I was driving straight in an open street, no obstacles at all. however, my vehicle started beeping and slammed the brakes to a complete stop. i was almost thrown out of my seat but thank god i had my seatbelt on. i checked my dash camera footage aswell no sign of obstacle, nothing at all. i believe its the collision mitigation braking system that got activated for no reason. i have my dash cam footage to support my claim.

When i star on and drive, the yellow warning stay on , red brake light blink, all computer safety system malfuncion , electric brakes, tires pressure, collision, a.c , power stering, etc. car drive but feel lighs the brake is on. this is a dangerus trash car. brakes problem "the main safety divice for recall. "

When i star the car and drive the yellow warning light stay on and the red light blink and not go off. all warning light. (tps, collision mitigation problem, emisiÓn syst. problem, electric brake problem, etc.). aslo this happen already 4 times before. couple times i use my brakes when i was drive and i felt that the car no stop righ at time and almost hit the other car. also i change my motor oil and the old one is mix with gasoline and is more volume that i put in. also some time when i drive the car star to stalling.

When steering far to right or left while traveling on a highway or street and then straightening up there is a jerk or catch as if something is caught in the steering mechanism.

Driving on highway car brakes for no reason car in back almost hit me happens more than once

I was driving 40mph up beach blvd. no traffic immediately near me. the forward collision avoidance system beeped and flashed brake brake brake. without cause the car stopped suddenly. this is the second reported incident with this same car in less than a year. i immediately called honda dealership. no recalls or probable cause. after last incident, there were some new updates installed on the car. told i would never have any more issues - a freak occurrence. my fear is that it will happen again with a semi behind me. this safety feature may very well be deadly.

Many times i start and drive the car and the yellow warning lights stay on and and also the red light brake keep blinking. when this hapen cruise, presure tires malfuncion. one the las time i parked and turn off and when i tried to star again the brakes stay engaged and no go any wheare. i have to disconect the batery 2 times for reset the alarms. also when i drive low speed the motor start to stalling. when i changed motor oil i smelled gas and old oil is mix with gas and is more volume that the original

While driving all warning lights on the dash came on and the car shut down. honda diagnosed the intercooler and turbocharger assemblies needed to be replaced. car is undriveable.

My car skidded and failed to stop in acceptable distance/time in one inch of snow nearly causing me to collide with pedestrian in roadway. i was alarmed that this had happened and asked my mechanic to evaluate any braking defects. i was informed my tires were worn to 4/32nd and thus had little tread left to grip road surface. mechanic noted all alignments and rotations were timely performed by owner of vehicle . i was shocked because vehicle is a 2018 honda crv with 18000 miles . these tires are rated for 50000 miles or 6 years. you can image my shock that tires wore out so fast and driving vehicle in security is now questionable. tier manufacturer hankook is denying tire defectiveness even though honda dealership has proved hankook liable as no vehicle defect is discovered. i ask your organization to examine this tire for faulty manufacture and notify consumers that tire is unreliable.

3wks feb23, 2021 i purchased a 2018 honda crv i was looking at some customers that complaining about oil deletion in the engine, i'm very worried because i do get a gas smell inside my car, from the exhaust and when i check the engine oil dipstick. it doesn't show as a recall but it is very concerning and i'm worried the vehicle would burst into flames.

On three occasions i have returned to my parked car which was locked and had all the windows and power sunroof closed when i left it, to find all four windows half way down and the power sunroof three inches open. on two of these occasions it had rained before or was beginning to rain upon my return to the car and significant damage to the vehicle could have occurred if the rain storm had been worse. the third time this happened, my car was parked in a public parking lot and this malfunction created a safety and security risk for my family and property. the honda cr-v manual indicates that there is a "feature" where if a person presses the unlock button on the key fob once and then presses it again and holds it for a minimum of 10 seconds, all the windows will be lowered half way and partially opens the sunroof. my key fob however was not in a place where the unlock button could be pushed twice in this pattern and these instances were not due to operator errors. honda currently denies knowledge of any such issue in spite of the fact that my web search found numerous complaints by other cr-v and certain acura owners about exactly the same issue. the honda dealership says unless the service department can reproduce the problem they are advised by american honda the problem does not exist and they cannot file anything with honda america regarding the issue. since this is a low occurrence rate intermittent problem, customers will fruitlessly pay honda to troubleshoot the problem with no resolution of it unless honda is forced to acknowledge and address it by the nhtsa. i respectfully request you do whatever is in your power to make honda resolve this issue as at a minimum, an unlocked vehicle allows for the possibility of a criminal gaining access and being present inside the car when the owner returns.

I was on highway i35 heading to dallas driving 70mph. suddenly my check engine light started blinking and my car completely shut down automatically when i was in the middle of 18 wheelers and other traffic zooming by me honking due to my speed drastically dropping. i had to coast across 3 lanes of heavy traffic to get over to the shoulder. i was terrified i was going to get slam into by one of the many semi-trucks. it was terrifying. called and had my car towed. cleo bay honda (kileen, tx) said it was a misfire of one of the fuel injectors. when i picked it up the following week, i got back on the freeway to head back to georgetown and the samething happened again. i again was forced to cross 2-3 lanes by coasting to get over to the shoulder. they now are going to replace all 4 fuel injectors, but i have lost all confidence in this car's safety. i do not want to take it on the freeway again, fearing the 3rd time i will be killed. i dodged two bullets with this car, why should i be forced to dodge anymore? very scary! this car was programed to shut down when a misfire occurs but they fail to consider where the driver might be when it happens. twice it happened when i was on a busy freeway and i lost all speed with cars/semi-trucks going 70-75mph past me and i am forced to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get to a safe location. the fear that happened the first time was still frightening and to have it happen a second time was terrifying and i don't feel safe anymore driving it. if not me someone will be killed or seriously injured due to this defect!

While driving a short distance, driving slow as i was in my subdivision my vehicle started jerking, it felt like it was going to stall, the engine light came on and started flashing repeatedly. i noticed a bad odor. i was only a minute or so from home and driving slowly, maybe 10 or 15 mph. the sputtering, jerking and flashing engine light continued the rest of the way home. i got half way up my driveway and it felt like it was stalling so i stopped and shut vehicle off. a strong burning smell continued and i noticed smoke coming out of the passenger side exhaust pipe.

After leaving out of car wash i parked the car to vacuum. left the car running in park and all of the sudden all warning lights came on dash. car still drives normally.

Have issues sometimes the on board radio, dimming light on display etc will go crazy flipping from bright to dark. cant use any controls like navigation, gps, use radio and it’s happened maybe 6 times. have to shut off engine then restart then it seems to take care of issue. this occurred while driving.

I have a 2018 honda crv ex. the check engine light came on with the emissions system problem warning at times, and at other times, all warning lights came on simultaneously. at times it drives fine while one or all these lights are on, but twice when i was driving 30-40 mph, i have lost power, having to pull off to the side of the road.

Loss of steering control while making a left turn at low speeed < 20 mph.

Ll systems lights are flashing on my dashboard going on and off since the time of purchase, i took the car to the dealer and they said no issues found, this is happening frequently. i was going through car gurus and so many people who bought honda crv during 2018 got impacted with the same issues

Our 2018 honda crv has a dead battery at 21,000 miles. on the internet, i see many other examples of this battery losing charge. is this a common problem? we were lucky, as the crv battery died in our garage. but, it could have died in a less friendly location. from what i read, this battery is prone to parasitic current loss at any time. thank you. jim bromwell carolina shores, nc

2018 honda crv touring purchase september 8, 2018. currently has 16,400 miles. on thursday, december 10, i went out to start my honda crv touring in the garage. it would not start. i called the helpline to have a towing company come to take the car to bob brady honda dealership in decatur illinois. i called bob brady honda service center they told me to just have the towing company jumpstart my car and drive it into the dealership service department. note, the towing company driver informed me that this is about the 13th honda 2018 2020 that he has had to jumpstart. some of the vehicles he’s had to revisit to jumpstart. i didn’t drive the car after coming home the rest of the day on thursday. the car started on friday, december 18, at 11:30 am. the honda started on friday, december 18 at 3:30 pm. saturday, december 19, the car started at 10:00 am. that same day the car started at 1:00 pm. on sunday, december 13, i went out to try to start my car at 7:00 am. my car would not start! it is my understanding at the honda dealership in the service department they will not just flip out the battery until they first try to charge it again to see if that helps the problem. it is now december 14, 2020 and i am going to call the honda dealership to have my car towed in today for the exact same problem of the battery being dead! both times that the car battery died as well it was sitting in my heated garage. i’m not able to take any photographs on a dead battery. but, i have made a video of exactly how the procedure takes place when i have tried to start my car in the garage.

Driving car on slight uphill grade a a misfire occurred causing a flashing check engine light. throttle control was defeated by design and the car came to a stop in a lane with no shoulder and semi trucks behind me. was able to cycle key a few times and throttle control was restored until car misfired again and same thing happened again. talked to local honda service department and was told that what happened is by design, to protect the catalytic converter in the event of a misfire..this is a dangerous design flaw. there are other ways to protect the catalytic converter and still leave the car running with at least partial power. many manufacturers simply cut fuel delivery to the cylinder that is misfiring, leaving you less power but still safe to drive.. this problem is a simple fix for honda with a reflash. this dangerous situation was created by a simple spark plug issue on one cylinder.

Entered the vehicle and began to drive. the problem lights all appeared as driving: steering, tire pressure, emergency brake, engine. the car stalled as driving and steering was made difficult, did the der der der noises. i felt endangered with my children and puppy in the vehicle.

The car braked and stopped suddenly and completely in front of a a speedbump on a a bridge. the last one was on october 2, 2020. in all three cases it was either early evening (6:30 pm, no rain or foul weather) or at later at night ( around 10:00 pm, one time was raining, the other case it was clear). i all e three cases i was driving with speeds of 10-15 miles/hr and there was not a car close in front of me near me. after the first two incidents i took the car to the dealership and they said they did not see anything wrong. i called honda and they they said there is nothing they can do as this is an assisting system. i am very concerned with my safety and the safety f my family.

Was driving on the highway and it started to lightly rain and i received the following error on my dashboard "some driver assist systems cannot operate : radar obstructed" and my truck started to brake by itself. i pulled over on the side of the highway and didn't see anything obstructing the sensors. the error stayed on until i got home and parked my truck.

While driving, all of the warning lights come on. a few days after resetting the computer, this recurred. in one occasion, engine power went to a minimum (10 mph on a level road) while driving. parking brakes engaged lights flashing while driving. this happened on city streets and was reported by others (https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t76546_ds1113654). honda dealer admitted they saw this with others but neither they nor corporate honda will take responsibility for addressing this issue. the first time this happened, i almost got into an accident pulling to the side of a busy road thinking there were engine problems. my car battery is quite new and has been checked before this issue happened so this is not a battery issue. the reported date is the latest - this has recurred about 4 times now.

Recently after purchased 1/2019 noticed oil level was 3/8" over high mark. reported to local honda dealer and they said its normal to have gas in the oil. also car emits smell of raw gasoline both in cabin when stopped. also smell raw gas in garage and sometimes in our house while car is parked. after more investigation found that others were having problems tool

About a month ago, i was parking my crv and all of my dashboard warning lights came on. my cruise. lane keep assist other features are completely disabled when this happens. my dealership states i need fuel injectors. i have done research on this problem, and honda is very aware of this fuel injector problem. they actually put an extended warranty in place on the powertrain to remedy this . unfortunately the powertrain warranty does not cover fuel injectors.on one occasion. nov. 3 2020, my car stalled while going 70 miles per hour on the highway. afterwards i smelled a strong fuel smell in my car. i have smelled this odor several times, however honda says this is not a safety issue. i bought the car jan. 2020. it had 89k miles on it. i did not think this new car would need an extended warranty. so honda wants over $1100 to put fuel injectors in. i have read online about the many issues with the 2017 and 2018 crvs. the dream motor is a problem and honda knows it. i guess it will take someone dying before anyone will pay me any attention. honda says this is not a safety problem therefore i am assuming it is safe to drive, as i have to have my car. i am a nurse and travel on my job. i have no cruise, lane keep assist, lane stability or any of those features. i dont know how this car will pass inspection like this. please help me. google problems with 2018 crv. .....honda knows all about it. i have already filed a complaint with them. please advise if seeking legal counsel will be beneficial to me. thank you.

I was driving on a city street under repairing with steel plates putting on street. while my car just about 15 feet from a big steel a plate (1 inch above ground) , speeding 30 miles. suddenly, it braked so hard, left skids on street and stop right on the street and then it released brake. luckily the car behind was far away; therefore no collision from the back

It was a clear day with no other cars around and i was driving 75mph on the interstate when my car slammed on the brakes while my foot was still on the gas pedal. nothing was around to trigger the sensor, yet the aeb went into full effect. the car beeped, flashed the brake sign on the dashboard and slammed on the brakes.

2 problems, when vehicle is moving, audio display panel glicthes in/out, brightness goes from bright to dim to completely blacked out display without being touched. glitches out like that for several minutes, completely uncontrollable and cannot use your audio display/radio nothing. while stationary car would not start. when you attempt to start car display says brake problem, and then parking brake problem, no audio display lights up nothing, engine start button blinks red and car goes off completely, smelled gas during this attempt to start car. jumped started the car took it to local auto parts store to check car battery, battery has more than enough charge. attached pics and video.

Florida arbitration claim in progress: after the first year of purchasing this vehicle, the crv navigation display system has begun to malfunction. this includes freezing, change in brightness, loss of functions such as navigation control, radio control and camera control. additionally, this is a safety hazard for myself and those around me as the system will lock up and if the hands free is in use a screeching noise will occur until the car has been stopped and completely restarted as this occurs only while the car is in operation and moving.. the only temporary fix has been to restart the car until it occurs again. also when this occurs, the a/c will cease functioning. honda has repeatedly sated that the issue is an isolated issue and that it was due to my phone saying that my samsung is not compatible with the car. however, the car is feature specifically with android audio.

Apparently defective tire with tread/belt separation which resulted in a sudden loss of tire pressure. my daughter was driving the vehicle on us23 northbound at posted speed. she felt what she thought was minor tire unbalance, but suddenly the tire lost air pressure and she pulled over to the side of the road and had the spare tire mounted. the next day, i had all four tires replaced for safety since they had moderate tread wear at 50,000 miles and we are going into winter. i kept the defective bridgestone tire.

The closed sunroof of my 2018 cr-v honda, exploded while driving on highway at about 65mph on a cloudy 57 degree evening about 5:00pm 10/26/2020. loud and scary sound, thought maybe gunshot, but no! i was nowhere near overpasses or other vehicles! nothing hit my sunroof! glass defect?

While driving in town, multiple warning lights were displayed repeatedly. they reset when the engine is turned off. we took the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not find a problem, and no action was taken.this happened already four times, and we are concerned that it could become worse, and cause a more serious outcome.

I keep smelling gasoline and having to get oil changes well before 5,000 miles. i believe that gas is getting into the oil. i have complained to the dealership service department and have been told that there is no fix available. i fear that the engine is going to give out soon.

For no apparent reason the dash warning lights (forward collision warning, etc.) begin flashing when the vehicle is being driven. when the vehicle is stopped and engine turned off for a brief period and then restarted the dash display returns to normal with the warning lights correctly working again. has happened 3 times.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in a parking lot and in a building, a bystander noticed the vehicle began to rollback in revers independently and the bystander noticed the gear shifter was in drive. as a result, the vehicle crashed into another parked vehicle. a police report was filed. the vehicle was taken to troy honda, 1835 maplelawn dr, troy, mi 48084, but was not diagnosed or repaired and informed the contact that if the vehicle was in drive it normally would rollback if it was incline. the contact informed the dealer, the vehicle was not in a incline. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

"hands free" tailgate opener does not work when foot is kicked under rear of car

2018 honda cr-v. consumer writes in regards to engine shutting off, defective heater, gas in the oil. *ld *js

I was driving the car in town on a clear day approximately 25-30 mph when the collision mitigation braking system engaged and stopped the car. there were no cars in front of me or behind me (luckily escaping being rear ended). there was nothing in the road in front of me that warranted this system engaging.

On two occasions the engine lost power and there was a strong smell of gasoline inside the car. the vehicle was in forward motion on a busy highway. this occurred on two occasions within the past two weeks. symptoms are indicative of an abnormal oil dilution problem with this vehicle.

When the temperature is below 25 the heater does not heat unless you drive above 50 mph you can let the car idle for 30 min and no heat. i think the thermostat is stuck open. have taken it to honda 104 and federal in westminster where the car was bought and they said too bad.

Was packing my cr v and noticed very tiny rust spots all over the tailgate. then when opening the tailgate noticed 3 bigger rust spots. i called honda 104 where i bought the car and they told me too bad.

I was driving to the store i pulled up and parked reached over to get a mask out and the chime went off. so i looked at the dash and found that the display was saying power steering was disable then the vehicle stability control then the tire pressure monitor then the engine then the brakes and it just keeps chiming in displaying each message for all listed above. i restarted the car hoping it would clear the problem but it did not. hope the warranty covers it and towing.

All of the lights came on for my vehicle indicating that i have problem in all areas of the car. this is a 2018 honda crv. this car is 2 ½ years old and the relay module is malfunctioning. this car is too young to be malfunctioning at this point. because i am at 37,000 miles, honda is telling me that i am out of warranty of the car and i would be responsible for repairing the relay module which is a major expense. again this car is too young to be malfunctioning. honda needs to repair this car or give me my money back.

On friday, august 28, 2020 i purchased a certified used honda crv from honda of joliet. after driving the vehicle for a few days, i noticed this sound coming from the rear driver’s side. to be sure, i had my brother in law drive the vehicle. he mentioned that there may be something wrong with the wheel bearing or the brakes. on monday, august 31, i dropped the vehicle off for service. when i purchased the vehicle, i had new bridgestone tires. i was confused and steve could not explain why the service dept. recommended new tires. i go to pick up my vehicle on thursday, september 3rd. when i picked up the vehicle, i noticed that the tires were different. the brand was advanta tires. looking online consumer reports found the advanta had an average tread life of 44,500 miles compared with an average of 71,000 miles for all the tires. in addition, these tires have poor performance in winter conditions. after surveying the dealer lot, i am very confused as to why these tires were chosen as the other vehicles all have better tires (e.g. continental, bridgestone, and michelin). please see the attached photos. even more frustrating, my vehicle now drives worse than before..on friday, i emailed the owners of the dealership, mike, horst, and rick korallus. of the three, mike korallus responded and gave me the impression that the vehicle would be repaired. today, the vehicle was picked up by service. after work i drove back to joliet to pick up my vehicle, hoping the tires had been ordered and replaced and the noise fixed. unfortunately, this was not the case and javier once again gave me an inadequate explanation. there is no way these tires are making it through the winter. now, i must make another appointment with a different dealer to make sure that my initial issue is resolved. in further research, no other tire retailer including walmart carries these tires.

Driving 35mph on main road brakes automatically functioned. no traffic around me. passengers lurched forward.

I was driving 40mph on a city street it was a sunny 83 degree day with no one in front of me when my crv slammed on the brakes by itself. the speedometer turned orange and said "brake". the collision mitigation braking system falsely detected something in front of me when there was nothing. we jerked to a stop, the vehicle behind almost hitting us. my son, dog, and i were extremely scared. i brought my vehicle into my honda dealership and they said the sensor was a little off but they could not find any other reason that the cmbs would malfunction? i've read online that this has been a huge issue with 2017 and 2018 honda crv's equipped with this feature and honda has not done a recall but there is a class action lawsuit out of california.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the brakes suddenly activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 22,000.

Vehicle dashboard gave multiple warnings while in motion on the highway; the honda sensing system no longer functioned at this time. took to nearby independent mechanic who narrowed malfunction to ecm. took car to dealer who replaced vsa modulator. after approximately 30 days, vehicle would not start; engine starts but shuts back off immediately. vehicle was towed to dealer; body control module was replaced.

2018 parked honda crv - back window shatter while car stationary

On 8-24-2020, the 4 windows and sunroof opened spontaneously. no on in car or near car with key fob (which has nothing to do with windows and sunroof).

2018 cr-v (~38,200 miles) unexpectedly halted (loss of power - engine kept running) going ~35 mph on lakeville hwy/116 in busy traffic and showed engine/emissions check light and other warning lights. towed to dealer where diagnostic codes p061b ecm/pcm internal malfunction (torgue calculation), c1870-00, u0401-68, u3003-s6 were seen. per american honda motors (ahm), dealer was to clear codes and try and replicate malfunction which they were unable to do having driven it 60 miles. ahm would not replace ecm/pcm as dealer was not able to replicate. i had safety concern so after speaking with lead service technician at dealer paid $~441 to have ecm/pcm replaced. i was not comfortable driving the vehicle with nothing being done. i believe that such codes should mandate car company to ensure safety of owner with paid replacement of faulty part. i hope others have not experienced this, not replaced the part and subsequently gotten into an accident as a result.

My windshield cracked at the bottom of the passanger side on 02/02/2020 when it was parked. no signs of any chips.

I bought the vehicle in december 2018. about 6 month ago, the battery was bad and replaced by the car dealer. about 3 weeks ago, the air conditioning system was not functioning. the dealer stated it was due to defective return hose. the car stay at dealer for 7 days in order to get the new part in. honda refused to pay for a rental car as it was too hot to drive. i believe i bought a defective car.

Traffic was light. i was on the expressway going 65 mph. no vehicles were close to me. all of a sudden i hear a boom. i could tell my sunroof just exploded. glass went all over the highway. lucky the inside roof was closed.

This the third incident, where i was driving the vehicle and the car lost power, stalled, shut down, and all the sensors on the vehicle went off. the vacaville honda dealership on the second time refuse to document my issue or look at the battery without me paying for a service. i brought the car in for service. i feel really unsafe in this vehicle and vacaville honda has a history of not documenting my concerns. the vehicle was in motion and i came to a stop sign where i turned right and noticed the car was not moving when i pressed the gas. the car turned off and then turned on and all the sensors came on. i was able to get the car rolling by going down hill going about 2 mph, even though the speedometer said 16 mph. there was not way i was going at that speed. i had to have the car towed locally to another honda where i lived and they were unable to tell me why all the sensors went off.

The safety system (honda sensing) that detects a car or pedestrian in your path and engages the brake warning light and automatic braking mechanism will sometimes engage at highway speeds when there is no object any where near the car. if this engages that could cause the car to stop on the highway causing a collision. i have had this happen 6 times and 2 of those 6 times the warning light came on and and braking occurred. the other 4 times the warning light with the brake indicator came on which was distracting.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while driving at 58 mph, the vehicle independently made an abrupt stop while switching lanes on the highway. the contact also stated that the brake system failure, road departure mitigation system failure and the adaptive cruise control failure was displayed on the instrument panel. the vehicle resumed normal operation without driver input. the contact stated that while in line at a drive thru, the vehicle started buzzing and the display screen blacked out and started buffering. after leaving the drive thru, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly with the accelerator pedal depressed. the vehicle was driven to the residence. the vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that there were defects related to the messages displayed on the instrument panel. the mechanic took the vehicle to jim coleman honda (12441 auto dr, clarksville, md 21029) to have the vehicle serviced under warranty however, the dealer refused to service the vehicle without explanation. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 11,760. *ln consumer says that on 08/22/2020 vehicle braked on its on while exiting an interstate highway at 45 mph. after the car braked on its own, the car started to wobble as though the wheels are about to unbuckle, and the brake light started to flash. consumer experienced whiplash from the sudden braking. consumer says that there were no other vehicles around at the time of the incident. on 08/25/2020 consumer took vehicle to jim coleman honda to be diagnosed and repaired. *dl*ln *tr

I parked my car in my garage with half a tank of gas on sunday. on wednesday i went to start my car to no avail. i called roadside assistance to jump start my vehicle. this worked, however my gas was now on empty. the vehicle had been locked, no lights on in an enclosed garage for 3 days. i have only used it for short drives since march due to covid-19.

I had just turned on highway and was accelerating to speed - at about 45 mph the auto braking engaged fairly sharply and something flashed on dash and beeped (too fast for me to read) and then it stopped. acc & lkas were on but not engaged at the time. sunny day and no vehicles around anywhere

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate to higher speeds. the contact stated that there was a leak coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to umansky honda (960 hilton heights rd, charlottesville, va 22901, (888) 686-9143) where the transmission was replaced, the oil pan was replaced and resealed, and the bell housing was repaired. the contact stated that after the repairs were performed, there was an abnormal rattling sound underneath the vehicle. the dealer was not contacted nor was the manufacturer made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 7,000.

While traveling straight through an intersection my cr-v was t-boned on the passenger front door by a super duty large truck traveling approx 55-60mph. the front side curtain deployed saving my daughter. the impact pushed our cr-v across the intersection into a metal power pole sustaining a more significant, secondary impact. neither front airbags deployed leaving myself with multiple severe injuries requiring surgery and a week hospitalization therafter.

I was driving on route 80 in new jersey at 70 mph. no traffic around me or in front of me the car applied automatic braking system. car came almost to a complete stop causing me neck and back pain. there was no warning there was absolutely no reasoni was using cruise control. dealer find nothing wrong with the car. very nervous about driving this car now. it was a clear sunny day.

Safety breaking feature has stopped my car 3 times when there was no hazard in front of the car. resulted in near collisions with cars behind me due to unexpected and abrupt stop of the car. had happened on local roads while driving straight on city streets

On monday, june 29, 2020, i was driving home from target in college point. i was driving on 20th avenue, a two-way local street, and all of a sudden my car braked. the white van behind me stopped in time to avoid rear-ending me. stepped on the gas, and the car didn't move, the engine just revved a little. then all of a sudden the car jerked forward a little, and then began driving again. i made a left-hand turn and pulled over to make sure that nothing was stuck in the wheels, or under the car. there was nothing. i took it to my regular service station, to have them look at the brakes, and they said that there was nothing wrong with the brakes, that they were fine. the technician recommended that i take it to the nearest honda dealer, and have them check the collision mitigation brake system. the first time i had brake problems was in an accident i was in 9 months after i purchased the vehicle. this incident occurred 8 months after the accident. i am concerned that we will be having braking problems every 8-9 months with the vehicle.

On september 25, 2019, i was approaching an intersection going 25 mph. i applied the brakes to stop at the light, and the car kept moving. we collided with a car coming from the opposite direction, that was turning left. i stepped on the brakes and the car would not stop. we ended up driving over a sidewalk, into a parking lot. the car only stopped when i turned it off.

Occasionally, there is a strong gasoline smell in the cabin when driving. also, when engine oil is changed, it emits a strong gas smell. i took it to criswell honda in germantown, md, and i was told that it is normal.

On two occasions, the car has unexpectedly and without any reason, braked to a virtual stop, as though there were a vehicle directly in front of me, while driving in the city on a road going about 40mph. however, there were no cars anywhere near my vehicle. in addition, my car will also unexpectedly beep and signal to me that i must brake, again, without a car being in front of me, again, while in motion at approximately 35mph. the honda dealer claims they have looked into my complaints, which i see as potentially life threatening, particularly if the car brakes on a fast moving interstate, and they are "unable to replicate the issue or find any sensor issues." the fact that this vehicle is operating correctly is patently untrue and the occurances regarding the sensor "brake" messaging is becoming more and more frequent.

A bunch of sensors including the radar, lane departure, collision detection was stolen from my 2018 honda crv without the central alarm getting triggered. the black box below the honda logo was broken, and the sensor/connectors were pulled out. the vehicle was parking in my driveway. bridgewater nj police complain no: #20154646

While driving on a level street around 40 mph with no cars directly in front of me for 6+ car lengths, a car behind me, and cars next to me, the automatic braking system tapped my breaks and issued warnings on the driver’s display.

The infotainment center goes blank or starts to change screens on its own. also, it starts to beep as it is doing this and won't stop. in addition, the system has made phone calls on its own. honda said they know about the problem but as of july 6, 2020, they do not have a fix. i have to stop the car and then restart the car to "fix" the problem. as of this writing, the problem is getting worse. this problem happens when i am driving and will not stop even when the car is not in motion. i have reported this problem in 2019 and 2020 to the dealership but there is nothing they can do.

Multiple times while the key fob was nowhere near the vehicle, the windows and sunroof would roll down by themselves. one time i had to crawl out the back of the car with honda service on the phone as proof because every time i opened the driver door the windows and sunroof would go down. the problem repeated itself at the dealership but the witness denied it. eventually the bcm was replaced. everything was fine for a few weeks. today when i turned the car on, it appeared that the software reset itself. the odometer screen said it was 1 am when it was 8:52 am. it took several restarts for that screen to reset. however, the infotainment screen would not reset. it states "anti-theft system - this system has lost power. push and hold the power button for more than two seconds to enable to system." then it kept going dark. i tried with the car power button and the radio power button. neither resolved the issue. i restarted the car several times. the same thing happened. i finally got it to restart hours later by holding down the radio power button. i am limited to a specific date on this form, but the windows/sunroof problems began around april/may 2020 and the infotainment screen issue in june 2020. i bought this car new in may/june of 2019.

I was traveling approximately 45 mph and approached a green light. the light was green and there were no cars traveling in front of me. there was a car sitting in the turning lane facing me waiting to turn. the car was not moving. all of a sudden an alarm went off in the crv and the brakes were applied hard for no reason. the crv almost came to a complete stop throwing me forward. i quickly evaluated the situation. the light was green, no vehicles in front of me except the car facing me in the turning lane. i am afraid the car will do it again for no reason to me or my partner. no damage occured.05 *tr

While driving on a city boulevard at about 35 mph, the navigation screen went blank. seconds later, the following message was displayed: "anti theft system. this system has lost power. push and hold the power button for more than two seconds to enable the system." i assumed that the vehicle was directing me to hold the radio power button, so i did and held it for two seconds, but it made no difference. i then pulled over when safe, turned the vehicle off, waited for 1 minute and then turned the vehicle back on. the navigation screen was back on to normal. the incident occurred on june 10, 2020 and this is a 2018 model. the battery that initially came with the vehicle died on february, 2020 after requiring a jump start. *tr

I was riding on a 4 lane highway, going straight, not another car, animal or stoplight in sight and the automated braking system slammed on brakes so hard it brought me to a stop - if i had not had a seatbelt on it would have thrown me into the windshield and if another vehicle had been behind me i would have probably been killed. nothing was in sight to make this happen. i called my dealership and they never heard of such but when i google it i find there's a class action lawsuit for this same problem. this is a deadly problem, what if i had been on a busy interstate hwy? *tr

I have a 2018 honda cr-v. the front end and steering is noisy, clicks, knocks bangs while turning the wheel. while driving on a street, highway or interstate, around curves the steering and front end jerks. it is hard to keep it on the road. car has approximately 42,000 miles. i took it in to be checked when it first started doing this and the honda service department diagnosed it as a bad steering box/rack. but because the warranty is out they would not fix it. i was quoted a price for me to pay around $3000. there are recalls on other 2018 models with the same issue. *tr

While driving north on route 43 approaching route 60 in lake forrest, illinois on november 5, 2019 my honda cr-v suddenly stopped. and, i mean completely stopped.for no apparent reason. fortunately there were no vehicles behind me. i was only traveling at 35 mph. i believe this occurrence would be classified as a false positive error. it was raining lightly at the time. my only witness is my wife. i bought this car primarily to drive my grandchildren to school and now have lost confidence in it's ability for safety. this problem hasn't occurred again since november 2019 but i don't know if i can trust our lives to a computer in charge of this car. this is a computer programming error that will ultimately be responsible for the loss of life. other computer assisted driving vehicles don't have this problem and they must have tested and overcome this specific performance issue. does tesla or mobileye have this issue? is it only honda? *tr

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 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. *tr

At approximately 5:45 pm on june 2, 2020 while traveling on route 30 westbound near coatesville, pa after the route 82 exit the honda cr-v lost power. the cr-v slowed to under 15 miles per hour while rush hour traffic passed. i estimate that some passing vehicles were traveling in excess of 70 mph. the cr-v finally made it to the airport road exit - a distance of nearly three miles. note: in two places rt. 30's narrow shoulder was not usable and i was briefly forced back onto the roadway continuing in the slow lane. once on airport road i found a safe place to pull over, turned off the cr-v and inspected the engine. i restarted the engine and drove to reedman toll honda. the cr-v has 35,762 miles and has been serviced at all recommended service intervals. my wife was the sole passenger. i was the driver. the unsafe condition presented by the honda cr-v ended with frayed nerves, but no other injury. however, this is unsafe condition could have easily had a tragic ending. *tr

Windshield cracked while vehicle was parked and cases a 6inch+ crack in the passenger's field of view.

I bought my car-used (5-4-20) with 18250 miles on it 3 days later (5-7-20) took a short road trip. while on the highway, all of a sudden low tire pressure light went on and about 2 minutes later the sidewall went out... thankfully i was already slowing down. it was the rear drivers side tire. a nice person stopped to help me change the tire. when he removed it the entire inside side wall looked like someone took a knife to it all the way around. *tr

Honda crv-2018 suddenly stops while driving; also the brake light is flashing; no car is in front. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that that gasoline leaked into the engine oil and caused engine oil dilution. the contact stated that there was evidence of gasoline on the dipstick. the vehicle was taken to honda motor work (1475 south barrington road, barrington, il 60010, (847)-381-8900), where the contact was informed to monitor the oil level and to have the vehicle inspected every 1,000 miles. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 12,000.

While in motion, front end makes a noise when he steering wheel is turned. steering wheel and car jerk while making a right turn or curve. honda service found that the rack/steering box is defective. other 18 models have recalls. my warranty is out and honda wants me to pay to have it fixed. *tr

Windshield crack from drivers side edge toward the middle. crack is now over 18 inches. no apparent rock chip at origin of crack. now a second crack has formed. crack was discovered in morning after parking car in garage over night.

The engine or something that controls the fuel to the engine causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. this was easily identified when i checked the oil level. the car was at home on a level concrete floor and the oil level was above the normal full level and the oil strongly smelled of gasoline. this results in decreased oil viscosity causing premature wear of engine parts and engine failure leading to increased maintenance costs.

I was away for 17 days and my battery died. went to dealer and he said this is normal. how is this normal? it's dangerous and should not happen! car is 18 months old! this is dangerous too. last year we were gone 2 months and wife's car started right up. neighbors winter in florida - come home and cars start up. my last car sat 3 months and started right up. this needs to be fixed! we travel and car sits at the airport / train. what happens when we come back and it's dead and it's late / snow / ice / bad area. worse - i could not get into the rear hatch (dealer said nope - can't - no bypass) to get my jumper cables! and car was in a garage (50+ degrees). garage also made it hard to jump as was pulled in forward! this is all scary and must be fixed but dealer says normal. he said some die in a couple / few days and it's normal. this is normal? after jumping it i had to reset so much / dash was lit up - radio didn't work. 17 days is nothing for a car to sit and dealer said it may have died the first week. then what - no alarm - nothing. i looked online and many have this issue. for all i know my honda battery died day 2 or 3 as many online say theirs dies after sitting just a few days.

2018 honda cr-v. consumer writes in regards to defective tires on vehicle. *ld consumer states that since purchasing vehicle, that they have had several instances of low tire pressure. each time the vehicle was taken to honda of princeton (princeton, nj) for repairs. on 2/9/2020 consumer replaced the tires. manufacturer was made aware of the failures. *dl

There is a very strong gasoline smell in the engine oil. the oil level is much higher on the dipstick than at the last oil change, indicating gasoline is somehow making its way into the oil. there is a gasoline smell in the cabin on every trip. car is owned and operated in atlanta, ga.

This is the third time in past three weeks. car starts and and all lights come on blinking on dashboard including brake, brake system, and continue blinking. blinking lights continue when car is stationary or moving and on gravel road and paved roads. the first trip to local honda and report was bad battery. second trip and i was told connector box. this is third time and its weekend and local honda closed. this is a huge safety concern. the date below is third time date.

I smell gasoline inside the car after i start the engine. the gasoline smell is not present on initial start up but happens when i run errands which requires many stops. it usually happens when the temperature is below 40 degrees. it is necessary to open windows to ventilate the cabin. i have also lost the sensors three times and my screen has gone black requiring me to reboot. i have talked to technician three times since owning this vehicle and they have had it in the shop twice for diagnostic testing. they are unable to determine the cause. i have gone online and this is a common and known problem with 2017 and 2018 crvs. why haven’t i received a recall notice to have the gas dilution fixed?

Stalling while driving when stopped the fuel level is high, known honda oil dilution problem checked by east coast honda myrtle beach s c they replaced the fuel injectors pipes and oil again for 3rd time. continually overfull crankcas. honda has an open case also #10008784 and dealership is working on the solution but it still exists! i already have a nhtsa case # 11277446 but i can not locate it and telephone clerk was snotty about me giving her the info and me asking for specific instructions.

On occasion in the past couple of months when going extremely slow speed and turning the wheel ever so slightly it's making a very loud humming type noise and then goes away it seems to only happen at a very slow speed with a slight turn

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while driving at speeds above 45 mph the forward collision avoidance system braking feature activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. the failure recurred on multiple occasions. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the vehicle was not repaired. planet honda located at (2285 us highway 22, union nj) was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 4,500.

Approximately 2,200 miles. driving normally at about 35mph. car started severely misfiring. and quickly started losing power. car would not accelerate over 9 mph..warning lights came on. pulled over immediately. visually checked motor including oil dipstick. strong smell of gas and oil level was above normal. gas in the oil. had to be towed to dealership. i was informed by the honda service tech there was gas in the oil and plugs were fouled. oil dillution problem.

From the date i purchased (so honda already knew of problem) my vehicle oil is being over filled (and diluted) with gasoline. it dilutes and overfills to the point of pcv valve burn off. now 33000 miles on auto, honda wants to change injectors to "see" if this solves problem. one: it's happened since new. injectors or doubtfully the problem. two: 33000 miles of gas/oil dilution has undoubtedly caused wear to crank and cylinders. how is injectors being replaced going to "solve" the wear that they have allowed, since my continued concerns at every single oil change for 33000 miles were ignored? i have read this is not an uncommon problem, but very common with this engine. one: why haven't they addressed my concerns for 33000 miles? two: with a known problem, and the customer complaining from the start of dilution, why haven't they addressed the wear to my engine? an extended warranty does not stop the damage caused by honda ignoring my complaints for 33000 miles to start a repair. note, i have addressed overfilling with gasoline at every oil change (garage visit) to the point of argument just to get it documented that i raised the issue! it dilutes to pcv valve burnoff before 1000 miles (as tested and verified by honda dealership!) and goes for at least 5000 miles between oil changes. every day more gas and oil are burnt through exhaust as more gas is added. i will comply with the injector "fix" by the garage, but want my wear to the engine addressed. this is gross overfilling and dilution, known by honda, and sold to me anyways, with no repair as of yet to wear. what happens when warranty runs out and they have allowed such gross dilution and wear? they are claiming a "cold climate" problem, but my does it in the heat of the south carolina summer! honda is covering up.

Twice at the same 4 stop intersection, i have come to a complete stop and when clear attempted proceed through the intersection and the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) has engaged unexpectedly. both times i entered the intersection and when a third of the way through dash board warning lights came on and the brakes engaged, halting me in the intersection.

While driving on 45 mph road on 2020 feb 18 morning, the vehicle came to sudden stop after i crossed a signal intersection. there were no vehicles in the front or back luckily and i did not get damaged. i took the cr-v to perfection honda in rio rancho, after holding the vehicle for check up for 24 hrs, they did not give a meaningful reason and only given irrelevant answer. i found 380,000 similar honda cr-v have been recalled in china. below is the website link for the consumer reports article. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-cr-v-affected-by-engine-trouble/

On saturday 2/29/2020 i was traveling southbound on highway 183 here in austin texas at 68 mph when my driver door opened. it didn't fly all the way open but it was ajar about 4 to 5 inches. i held the door as close to closed as i could while driving with the other hand to reach a save stop in order to close my door. i've had the vehicle for a year and 8 months and this is the first time this has happened but it is scary nonetheless. i was about 19 miles into my trip to work that day. there were no lights on the dash and that was no alert that my door was opened prior to it opening. there wasn't even a alert once it became open and i noticed because i could hear the air and the door was moving. the door lock mechanism still showed the door locked before i unlocked it and closed the door. while it hasn't happened again. i would still appreciate this to be looked into.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 60-65 mph with cruise control engaged and the brakes activated independently. additionally, while driving the cruise control became inoperable and the speed decreased. the adapted cruise control and collision warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to preston honda 3249 wilmington rd, new castle, pa 16105 (724) 498-4944 where the contact was informed there was a radar obstruction and software update was needed. the vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. the manufacturer was contacted but provided no additional assistance. the failure mileage was 19,000.

While in motion the cr-v continues to bright light oncoming traffic, as well as the steering wheel pull towards oncoming traffic abruptly while the volume of the stereo goes constantly from loud to mute, and the door lock/ unlocks being continual. vehicle has stalled out on different occasions. there is odor of gasoline while inside the vehicle, usage of fuel drastically increased, noticed our throats hurting/ voice hoarseness/ coughing/ passenger pass out until windows are cracked open (carbon monoxide?). constant sputtering, no horsepower, can't stay with the flow of traffic on interstate, brakes do not want to work on different occasions, vehicle abruptly slams on the brakes at times saying road departure (clearly we are not departing the roadway). doors to the back have not allowed the passengers in the back to open them, causing the children to panic in fear of being trapped in the vehicle. the remote start has only worked (2) times in a years time. there has been a buzzing/ humming motor sound coming from the rear axle area after the vehicle has been stationary for over (5) hours. gasoline has now been noticed in the oil. the dash periodically goes completely black unable to see anything. the automatic lights (dimming/ bright lights) does not work, and has only worked (1) time. a couple of occasions it has smoked, like large clouds of smoke from the exhaust anytime the accelerator was pushed. fearful of traveling in the cr-v, we do not use after dark, the amount spent on fuel has more than doubled and we do drastically less driving in the cr-v since the increasing fuel usage. at times it feels as if the vehicle is controlled by someone else, it's difficult correcting the steering when it is pulling towards oncoming traffic.

12:00 noon 02/19/2020. was driving approximately 35 mph on hilltop road in greensboro, nc when i applied my brakes to slow for a rough railroad crossing. the brakes were abruptly applied without any warning sliding the tires. if anyone had been close behind me i would have probably been rear-ended. will report this problem to the service manager at my local vann york service dealer in high point, nc.

Collision mitigation system failed to deploy resulting in a collision with a parked vehicle. vehicle was traveling on a city street at about 25-30 mph. accident resulted in minor injuries to the driver- broken finger.

There is a hesitation problem due to the turbocharger the dealer says this is normal but it can be dangerous pulling into traffic this happens when accelerating

While driving at about 55mph on rt.28 south epsom, nh the car just stopped no cars in front of me. it stopped for no reason

Engine oil dilution continues after honda fix with reprogramming engine computer and ac control module replacement. honda has extended the powertrain warranty to 6 years unlimited mileage from the original sale date. current mileage 14,000. engine oil and filter has been changed 8 times due to this problem.

The ignition is keyless. i pressed to turn off the engine and it shut off. but i forgot to shift into park. i exited the car. the car started rolling backward. i ran back to it, jumped in and shifted to park, stopping the car. if i hadn’t noticed and stopped the car, someone might have been hurt. when you stop the engine, there should be an automatic shift to park or an automatic activation of the emergency brake.

09/2019- traveling the interstate in fast lane in rush hour traffic approx. 79mph vehicles in front of & numerous vehicles behind me. a vehicle in the right lane switched lanes in front of me causing mine to hit the brakes, locking up, smoke coming from the rear of vehicle. the vehicle behind me was in the median the 2nd vehicle was inches from me. my passenger (child in back) safely strapped, had a whelp & burn on right side of neck/chest from seatbelt. solution do not use cruise control. 11/2019 on vacation the vehicle showed low tire pressure light on the dash, pulled over to check the pressure, all tires were okay. traveling on a 3 lane busy highway,in the mountains the brake would engage along with the steering, jerk to the left, "lane departure" on the dash. it took all of my strength to pull against the vehicle keeping it on the road. no guard rail on the road. pulling against the steering prevented my crv from going over the mountain. i could not have the econ on, if on, the highest speed i could reach in the crv was 35mph. with the econ off 45 mph was the highest speed the travel speed of the other vehicles was between 65-70mph. this continued throughout the trip. i took the crv to the honda dealership once i was home it was kept for a week. they feel like a software update solved the issue. i later contacted the dealership to let them be aware the issue was not resolved. said they made honda aware, but did not. i had a case with honda, but nothing has been done. my emails not replied and the messages left on the voicemails, not returned. i have contacted numerous times, spoken with service representatives and assured my call would be returned, nothing. dealership stated they no longer will be able to help with any issues. this is frustrating. my life as well as my children are important although honda isn't thinking the same. major defects in the 2018 cr-v

Intermittently the "safety system" items stop working- adaptive cruise, lane assist, etc. this happens even when there is no rain/ fog/ physical obstruction, etc. after few hours it starts working. happens every few weeks.

My engines crankcase is filling up with gasoline. i'am afraid of a fire.

The windshield developed a crack on its own while the car was parked in a covered parking. there was no impact/damage. the crack seems to be caused by pool design/workmanship

Yesterday, while driving at 68mph, with no vehicles directly in front of me or beside me, and no other obstructions in the roadway at all, the vehicle self-applied the brakes firmly. this wasn't a gradual slow down, it was immediate and thankfully the large bobtail truck behind had an attentive driver, otherwise i would have been rear-ended and the results would not have been positive. this has happened at least 3 other times, but at slower speeds. again, there was nothing in front of the cr-v...except air and concrete. this event got my attention and this is a very serious issue. i called honda of tomball and explained what happened. they hadn't heard of this issue, but aside from that, honda motor company is aware. the cr-v is there for diagnosis and nothing against honda of tomball, as they are great, but there is no solution. apparently, honda hasn't even sent this down to the dealers? we purchased 2 honda vehicles a month apart, due to their advertised reliability and safety ratings. we absolutely want the added electronic safety features, as they are designed to minimize accidents and injury. this obvious defect in the honda sensing is going to kill someone if admission to the issue isn't stated and a real resolution isn't presented by honda. it was almost me yesterday. this is in no way an exaggeration. honda, you have a problem.

Issues with charger under radio. i've brought it in. the fuze blew. issues with pandora not syncing and brought it in more than once. major issues with my screen bugging out with levels of the screen brightens but it makes a noise like the screen is being tapped and it's not. only way to stop it is turn car on and off. had to stop on parkway yo fix, not safe. brought it in for that more than once too and still not fixed. issues with pic uploads too

While driving on an interstate with no vehicles or obstacles stopped in front of me my car automatically braked hard. it came to a complete stop on the interstate which resulted in me getting rear ended. i took it to honda to try to get the information from the black box but they refused to try to pull anything.

Gas was found in the oil. noticed at 7,000 miles and at 10,000 mile oil change

While driving on an unobstructed city street, at night, i drove under pedestrian bridge that was casting a shadow on the road. the collision mitigation system beeped and alerted to brake. the car then began braking very hard to a near full stop in the middle of the street. i had to pull off the side of the road to avoid obstructing traffic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr*v. while changing the oil, the contact noticed there was fuel in the oil. there was an abnormal of odor of fuel detected. the contact called capital honda: 2651 jolly rd, okemos, mi 48864 517) 337-8383, however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 10,000.

While either driving vehicle or the vehicle is stationary, infotainment system while using navigation, music, etcetera from infotainment screen, will either reboot or go blank. this has happened intermittently since we have taken possession of the car in april 2018.

Whenever i start my car in the morning or after being parked for hours, the car does not move past 10-15mph even when i step harder on the accelerator. the car will sometimes come to a complete stop in the middle of the road when i step on the accelerator. i have to turn the engine on and off a couple of times as well as drive around slowly before the accelerator will respond.

While driving at a slow speed in a parking lot vehicle misfired and all electrical components became nonfunctional. lost some control of the vehicle. parked car immediately and car started to rev itself while in park without pushing the pedal. all system alert indicators came on indicating issues with multiple electrical & engine components. turned car off for a minute. turned car back on and all indicator lights remained. called local honda dealership immediately and had towed to dealership. honda dealership indicated that they noticed misfires as well when testing and car was not performing well. dealership indicated the following in diagnostic report: "found engine oil to be over filled. code p0300 randam misfire. there was gas in the fuel - performed oil change and updated the pgm - fi system" after conducting research we found that this is a known issue with honda crv 2018 models, but there is not an official recall. it is a known issue by honda that gas gets in to the oil panel and dilutes the oil with gas. this is both a safety and mechanical issue that needs fixed. this is a safety issue as had our car misfired at higher speed this could have easily caused an accident with the amount of lost control of the vehicle. this will also assuredly effect the life of the vehicles engine as oil is diluted by gas. the dealership was not forthcoming with information regarding this known issue by honda of gas getting into the oil tank and causing stalling and misfires issues just as what happened to us. it was not until we told them we found information on it ourselves did they recognize it. we were informed by the dealership that our particular vin had already had the update and fix that was suggested by honda for this issue. if that is the case, then it did not remedy our vehicle, and this is still a safety issue honda needs to rectify with its customers.

From 3,500 to now 9,500mi 5 seperate occasions sensor suite has quit functioning for from 10mi to a 100mi till come back on. in all but 1 time (which recurred going to dealer) by coming to stop or restarting engine has returned to normal. still have throttle, brake, gas guage, lights etc but no functions that require pushbutton or sensing functions. all happened while at hyw speeds. 1 time car totally quit (like shut off with switch) for a sec free rolling at 65mph then came on where left off.

I have had numerous problems with my crv, most recently a complete malfunction where car did not go over 10 mph and dashboard lights all flashing on alert. honda mechanics told me this was my fault for overfilling my oil tank. wanted to charge me $2500 for a new catalytic converter. after much negotiating they lowered cost. however i have since seen this is a common problem with this model and should have been recognized as such. *tr

On december 22, 2019 i was headed to church on a four-lane highway and heard the sound coming from the engine, a loud metal to metal sound and the vehicle died. i was able to restart the car and pulled off the road and had car hauled to dealership where i purchased the vehicle and where i had it maintained. i had the vehicle hauled over to dealership on a trailer to avoid driving it. after the dealership investigated, they found that the oil to the engine was blocked but couldn't determine what blocked the oil. hearing metal to metal it could have been shavings from the metal rubbing together. it is january 9, 2020 and i am still without a my car. they replaced the engine and had it ready on saturday, january 5, 2020. however, when i drove off in it, the engine was roaring. so, i took it right back and left it once again. they called me on monday, january 6, 2020 and said my car was ready once again. i went back to dealership in which i work in 53 mile away. i test drove it and the roaring sound was still there. they (the service department) thought it was the tires so they rotated the tires and still heard the roaring sound. they decided it was the wheel bearing. wheel bearings should not go out in a 2018 vehicle. i felt the roaring was still in the engine. i will hopefully pick my car up on friday, january 10, 2020 in hopes the roaring sound is gone. i believe this issue is related to the issue the 2017 and 2018 honda crv owners are experiencing with the oil. nevertheless, a 2018 honda touring should not have all these issues. i am an unhappy customer and now i feel the value of my car is depreciated.

2018 honda crv. consumer writes in regards to whirling noise from engine. *ld *js

Honda 2018 cr v touring awd has steering issues on 3 separate occasion. sept 2019, oct 2019, dec 2019 when making a right turn the power steering pulled to the left into the wrong lane & the 3rd time almost into a ditch it took two or us to over ride that. during that 3rd time we also had 4 warnings: acc, lkas, cmbs and rdm. i had amber and red warning lights showing the brake system, lane departure, acc & forward collision warning illuminated on the dash. i pulled over and shut the engine off for 30 mins. each problem taken into the dealer we could not duplicate, and your vin # is not on the recall list. i also notified honda still no answer.

Adaptive cruise control "on". two incidents in the past year the car's braking sytem activated as if i were going to hit something. i was on the interstate and no cars were within 500 to 1000 feet and no other objects were observed. then twice in the past month the flashing "brake" light appeared on the dash panel indicating i should slow down as i may hit something. again, this occurred on the nterstate and no cars or objects were anywhere near me. this last incident occurred on 01/01/2020.

Noticed a line at the bottom of the windshield when getting out of the car last week. got out to investigate and saw a thin line running the length of both windshield wipers. the crack was in the black part of the windshield at the defrost line. the crack seemed to spread after cold nights. i have informed my honda dealership and am waiting to hear from them.

The turn signals are defective. the turn signals flashing lights work, but there is no clicking sound. this causes a safety problem when changing lanes on a highway. i am often unaware that the turn signals are still engaged.

Was parked in a parking garage and as soon as i started the engine i received 4 warnings: acc, lkas, cmbs and rdm. i had amber warning lights showing the brake system, lane departure, acc & forward collision warning illuminated on the dash. i shut the engine off, waited a second then restarted it. all 4 warnings and warning lights popped up automatically. was a clear dry day so i knew nothing was blocking sensors so i started my hour drive home thinking they would go away while driving. they never did. when i arrived home i turned the engine off, waited again a few seconds then restarted it to no avail as all lights and warning returned instantly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while the contact's wife was driving approximately 45 mph, the brake pedal seemed to be pumping on its own. the driver had to apply excessive pressure when depressing the brake pedal. the contact experienced the same failure when driving. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 13,000.

Purchased honda 2018 crv touring in october of 2018. in december received letter from honda regarding a fix for the oil dilution issue. oil change 12/27/18 and again 5/30/19 at 3544 miles as oil above full on dipstick. oil change again 8/21/19 at 7,386 miles for same issue. now at 10,971 needing oil change again because of excess oil/fuel mixture. also, still getting gas smell in the cabin of the vehicle. on going problem with this engine. ## vin passed ## ##

Constant fuel odor inside the passenger cabin. this is noticed whenever, the climate control is set to have exterior air circulation.

Happens shortly after starting the car and commonly when the vehicle is in motion. if you use a usb stick to play audio through the car stereo will temporarily freeze and requires you to press the screen again to resume the music playing. this isn't much of a safety concern except if this happens when you are using the rear camera to back up. the screen will stop showing a live feed and just show what is showing when it froze. people may not notice that the picture isn't live and continue thinking that everything is clear behind them. thanks to gov't rear cameras are being required. this issue i've been experiencing sadly lessens the safety of a car rated as a top safety pick by your organization (not blaming you for not noticing it) 7/26/19 i made an appointment with honda of princeton who wasn't able to resolve the issue nor did they instill confidence that they'd be able to fix the problem. this explains the delay in reporting to you. i spoke with honda 12/26/19 (case 10111741) and they said that this is a known issue and didn't have a fix at the time. this has been a problem ever since we got the car. we have tried different usb drives without success. i would like your help in applying pressure for a fix to be issued. thank you for your time!

I own a 2018 crv purchased new in august 2018. while sitting at a stop light on a slightly drizzly, approximately 45-ish degree morning this week, i heard a loud bang/explosion followed by a slight crackling noise right over my head. i immediately pulled my sunroof shade shut and when i arrived at work (about a 1/2 mile down the road), i discovered that my sunroof had completely shattered. because i pulled the shade closed, the glass did not fall in to the vehicle so there was no injury sustained. my route is one i do daily and does not include an overpass or overhangs. there was no indication that anything had been thrown/fallen on my roof. there is no other damage to the body/roof. i believe the sunroof spontaneously shattered. when i spoke with my honda dealer's service department, they transferred me to an outside body shop to repair out of pocket. when i spoke to the dealer's finance office about my warranty, they informed me that no glass repair is covered under my warranty or extended warranty and that i needed to submit under my comprehensive car insurance. my insurance did ultimately cover the damage although they were reluctant as they felt it was a manufacturers defect.

My windows and doors are open and unlocked, including hatchback. has happened at least 4x's in last two weeks in chicago during holiday season! *mp

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while the contact's spouse was driving, the brake pedal was released and the vehicle struck the rear of another vehicle. the driver's frontal air bag deployed. the contact was concerned that there was a defect with the air bags. neither vehicle was damaged. the contact's spouse sustained some scratches to the left arm, but did not require medical attention. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was driven to the contact's home. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was not notified. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 21,000.

Tl* the contact owned a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 40 mph through an intersection, the contact crashed into the passenger side of another vehicle. the contact's vehicle sustained front end damage and the front passenger door failed to completely open after the crash. in addition, the driver's side was more damaged than the passenger side. the passenger sustained a fractured chest bone, a hematoma in the chest, and was in icu for two days. the passenger was transported by ambulance to the hospital and then transported to another hospital that could treat major chest injuries. the contact sustained chest bruises and was also taken to the hospital via ambulance. a police report was filed. the insurance adjuster informed the contact that 1 or more air bags of the passenger front failed to deploy during the impact. the vehicle was totaled and deemed destroyed. the failure mileage was 16,000.

Our sunroof glass exploded outwards while driving on a clear expressway. we had been traveling for about 4 hrs, and the sunroof glass bubbled outwards and exploded in many many small fragments. there was no impact with an outside object and the glass was clearly blown outward. we suspect the heat buildup between the glass and the moon pressurized the air and the glass failed, exploding.

Lights, windows and sunroof all opened spontaneously overnight while parked in the downstairs garage of my home. remote not touched. read online of many cases not so lucky that opened during rain storm resulting in a soaking wet car. apparently there is no option to turn off control that might trigger this. will take photo for documentation if it happens again

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving on the highway with no vehicles around, the emrgency braking system activated and the vehicle slowed down. the instrument panel flashed the brake sign. the vehicle was traveling approximately 65 mph and then slowed down to a much slower speed. the entire failure lasted approximately ten seconds and then resumed normal speed. the contact was able to resume her trip. this was the second time the failure occured. venice honda (985 us-41 byp, venice, fl 34285, (941) 486-8888) scheduled an appoinment to perform diagnostic testing under warranty. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 9,300.

While driving leisurely on a winding road called sullivan trail, scotrun pa we received an alert on the vehicle dashboard: "brake system road departure mitigation system problem" (rdms). the rdms button was not on at the time. we were about 2 minutes from home so the vehicle was driven home and parked. at home, we pressed the rdms button and it did not light to engage. through google search, we found out other honda owners have experienced similar problems at the approximate 5000 mile mark. our vehicle was purchase brand new at ray price honda in stroudsburg pa in november 2018. it has had one oil service change at the same dealership at the 5000 mile mark. currently, it has 5570 miles. we understand from an article online that honda does not give warrant on this issue which could cost 3000 to repair. the vehicle is driven mainly for short and careful drives around stroudsburg -- food shopping and the like for our home. with such limited drives, it should surely be more reliable.

I experienced unintended sudden acceleration of the vehicle on 11/29/2019 around 1pm. i was slowing to a stop a a stop sign when the engine suddenly revved up to above 3000rpm. i immediately applied the brakes with more force and stopped the vehicle while the engine continued to rev between 3000 and 5000rpm. while holding the brakes firmly, i shut off the engine and then confirmed that my foot was only on the brake pedals and not touching the accelerator. there happens to be a police officer behind me at the time and he came up to my vehicle to see what the problem was. i explained the issue and he suggested i start the vehicle again to see if the problem still persists. i did so and immediately the engine revved up again above 3000 rpms. the police officer concurred that this was not normal and i shut off the engine again. by this time a second officer arrived on the scene. after consulting briefly, they were about to call a tow truck for me when the second officer suggested that i try starting the vehicle one more time. when i did, the vehicle returned to normal operations. i took my vehicle to the honda dealership immediately upon returning home. however, after inspection, the technician was not able to identify any problems. this is the second time i have taken this vehicle to the dealership for this issue because i have experienced the same problem multiple times in the past under similar conditions.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while approaching a railroad track at 20 mph, the vehicle stopped forcefully on its own without warning. the contact was able to continue driving to her destination. the contact called steve padgett's danville honda (located at 4050 riverside dr, danville, va 24541, (434) 710-4019) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 19,806.

On many occasions my crv auto brakes hard and lane keep follows the wrong lines. 2 examples of braking: 1 - a pickup truck was making a right hand turn in front on me. as a human i started to go around him to the left as he turned but my auto brakes locked up and the person behind me came within inches from rear ending me then got road rage and chased me for something i did not do! could have been killed! 2nd was on a bend in the road - a white moving truck coming the other way on the bend made my auto brakes lock up hard / near a full stop! this happens often but not usually to these extremes. lane keep - while on a major highway with cruise and lk on i went thru a recent construction area and my honda started to follow old lines and painted over w/ black paint lines - not the new lines from after the repairs! it was scary - almost drove me into a barrier! on 1200 mile trip to florida my car often would hit the brakes for reasons i could not tell or go out of the normal road lines or the acc would slow the car to a crawl for trucks in the other lane. took it to the dealer - they say npf. one guy did say to adjust the sensitivity which i did but it still brakes when it should not. my wifes car does not react this way.

Hi every time lately at the lights or when i left my car on my driveway or at parking lot a very strong gasoline odor comes most likely from the front/engine. please advise.

I was driving on the highway, approximately 65 mph, travelling straight east with no turns. traffic was moderate, time was 5:40 pm. for no apparent reason, my moonroof exploded, i was very startled and swerved barely missing the car beside me. the sunscreen was closed, and i was not injured, but shattered glass would have rained on the car behind me. incident occurred on 11/01/2019

Problems first presented: auto door lock malfunction, auto- rain sensing wiper malfunction would come on when dry, not come on when wet; navigation system went crazy on the highway flashing on and off when using it; twice the auto breaking system came on when on the highway with nothing in front of me....going 50 mph! i very well could have been rear ended. i saw no obstruction on the road. i have had the vehicle in twice to the dealer only to be told it does not happen and they have no bulletins regarding these issues.

The message brake appears while driving even without any cars in front. it happens irregularly but often enough that it is unsettling and mostly traveling at around 50 m/h. reported twice to honda technician who said it happens with other 18 crv. i have had the car since december and nothing has been done. collision mitigation braking system™ (cmbs™)*

Driving in town going to store smelled something like dead animal or some hair burning horrible smell almost got sick and or passed out. next couple of times i drove it the smell got better but i told my son. i couldn’t drive it anymore cause i was getting sick. then the smell went away and oil light came on saying i had 15% oil life left. me and my son smelled oil stick and it smelled like gasoline. tires were worn on the inside on all four at 11,940. miles. i had to pay my own money to balance them again

3 time while driving on the fwy 65 mph with the cruise control activated, lane control activated, and the distance set to minimum, with no one in front of me, the car detected the car to the right of me and slammed on the brakes, and causing the person behind me to slam on their brake almost causing an accident. this happened between april of 2019 and oct of 2019. when i brought it into the dealership they said that there was dirt on the milliwave radar, found code p2583-97, i found this to be highly unlikely because the car was spotless. the second time i took the car to the dealership, they said the could not duplicate the problem. when asked how they diagnosed the car they said they drove it 10 miles down a bolsa chica rd. i told the sevice person that that was not the same conditions as i was driving and that they could not have gotten the car up to 65 mph when the speed limit was 45 mph and it wasn't a fwy. her response was we are not allowed to drive cars on the fwy. i said then how are you do duplicate the condition of the problem. this car has been into the dealership for multable electronic issue, none of which have been solved yet. all i get is the same answer, cant duplicate the problem. i believe this car has had these problems since it was sold new and the person before me turned this car in with only 8000 miles on it for a new car that they could trust. this is a safety issue ad could cause me to get into an accident thats not my fault.

While driving on slick roads i was using blueooth to have a telephone conversation. a car swerved in front of me causing me to swerve to avoid an accident. the bluetooth disengaged and i heard the doors automatically click to lock (they were already locked). i assume these are built in safety features. when i came to a stop, the electronic door lock overrode the manual lock for the driver side door and would not unlock; i could not exit through the driver side door. i tried many times to use the fob or to manually unlock the driver side door to no avail.i had to exit using the passenger door. the driver side door lock refused to work until i used the physical key to open the door from the outside. using the physical key appeared to re-set the electronic door lock system and it then worked normally.

I was going about 25 miles per hour at about 6:00 pm on 10/21/2019 in my 2018 honda crv exl in pittsburgh, pa. when the car's automatic braking system kicked in and slammed on my breaks abruptly for absolutely no reason at all. it was a very clear day, no rain, very well paved, maintained, and marked 2 lane city street. there were absolutely no cars in front of me or coming in the other direction. this came out of no where and i was shocked and confused as to why this happened. i own 3 crvs!!! i have always loved hondas and now i'm fearful of them. i'm afraid to let my teenage daughter drive it. thank god i was only going 25 miles per hour and no one was behind me ! please honda! this is real!!!! this is dangerous!! fix this problem!!! our lives depend on it!

I purchased my 2018 crv exl in late november 2018. since then the windshield has been chipped twice (repaired both times) and cracked two other times - requiring windshield replacement at $1,200 (oem) each time. i've driven the same normal paved roads/highways that i've driven for the last 25 years - having only experienced two windshield cracks across all my previous vehicles during all those years. my personal experience combined with accounts from other gen5 honda crv owners and observations by the windshield repair shop indicate that gen5 honda crvs have insufficiently strong/durable oem windshields. as a result i am concerned about safety should my family be in a serious accident. in addition, my insurance agent has informed me that another windshield repair/replacement claim is likely to increase either my insurance premium or deductible - accordingly i paid out-of-pocket for the last chip repair. i believe honda needs to design a stronger replacement windshield and/or extend the warranties to cover windshield damage.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving various speeds, the engine misfired and the vehicle would not properly accelerate. the contact also noticed fuel leaking into the engine oil. the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer and the cpu assembly was reprogrammed, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: case 09652318. the failure mileage was 2,500.

I bought a 2018 honda cr-v in may 2018, it was new, with 717 dealer miles on it. it came with bridgestone ecopia hl 422 plus tires in size 235 65r17 as standard equipment. at 9,292 miles on september 11th i had an oil change and service which included checking tire pressures. on september 28th i went on vacation and came back october 5th. on a perfectly clear day, no hazards in the road, on interstate 26 north of florence, sc, i heard a loud bang, and at first i thought it was the car next to me backfiring. but then i heard the dreaded flapping sound of a flat tire on my vehicle. i pulled off the extremely busy interstate and proceeded to change the tire which was on the left rear. i then searched on my phone for the closest honda dealership to try to get a new tire because i still had about 140 miles to get home, and did not want to risk it on the ‘doughnut’ spare tire. i found one in sumter, sc, about 25 miles off the interstate and went there. they put on a new tire which cost me $167.52. i told the manager that i believed it was a defective tire. he said “let’s look on the inside to see if there is any metal or other debris”. there was none. just an inner sidewall blowout. and no damage to the tread. he bagged the tire up for me. and i continued home. monday october 7th i went to my honda dealership and explained to the parts manager what had happened and he took the tire. he agreed that it looked suspicious. he got no positive response at all from bridgestone, and i called bridgestone myself. i got stonewalled and got no satisfaction. but he kept digging and finally got someone to offer what they said was half of the value - $45 - but he told them no, let’s send the tire in and make a determination after you receive and inspect it. i got a check today $63.01 for my defective tire. the tire sells online for $159. they know these tires are dangerous. *js

While i was driving today the car system got jammed. i got a message brake system failed and i was not able to apply brakes.the brake pedal is hard to press.then the tire pressure monitor,vehicle stability system,lane assist shows failed message. luckily no one is in front of me so i was able to turn off the engine and steer the vehicle to side. i was on local road with my family and luckily no one got hurt.i reported this incident to honda customer service and they asked me to contact local dealership to evaluate and report says an issue with failure electronic braking system

My 2018 cr v has been in for service with the same problem 5 times. basically on my morning commute from norco to los angeles i sporadically get an error message, road mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure system problem along with a brake light cycle through my dashboard and all these systems fail to work. this will last the rest of my commute and all lights are off when i drive home later on in the day. the first couple of times i brought the car in, they sent it home with me because they could not find error codes, problem still present. finally this last time the technician adjusted some cameras to see if that could fix the problem, it did not. my car is still in your shop at penske ontario and the technician who called me yesterday said this is a normal feature of this car, and the honda hotline does not have this problem reported. he informed me that the car is picking up something that is causing it to fail. my commute is at 4am on a non busy freeway, i have not noticed construction nor major road damage when this happens. if the road conditions were the problem, i drive this commute a lot and this does not happen then. this sounds like their is no solution to my problem and i am given a generic answer. i have done my research and i am not the only person experiencing this with the cr v. the dealer has informed me they will be doing nothing further for my problem. this happens multiple times

The sunroof exploded on my cr-v due to a tweaked frame out of the factory while i was driving down the highway on wednesday october 23rd.

Had issues with electrical such as warning lights in the past, 38,000 miles had fuel injectors replaced. mention when i got the car that it did not heat properly, they said it was normal. does not heat when idling . so i started checking it out and everybody else is having the same issue. idling.

Stalling while i was traveling in traffic. oil dip stick smells like gasoline is "overfull" on oil mark. *ln vehicle hesitated and stalled because ok had been drained to a lower level once and replaced 2 times. consumer stated fuel injectors were replaced. *jb

2018 honda crv ex: mileage 20,165. upon accelerating while pulling the car on main roadway, the car dropped from 50mph to 25mph and then wouldn't reach past 35mph, the engine light appeared and started to blink. pushing the gas pedal only aggravated the situation. about a mile later the car stopped/stalled trying to go up a hill. i turned off car, waited 10 min and restarted. was able to go another 1 mile to home, i did not attempt to go over 25 mph, because engine light was still blinking. the next morning, i drove the car to the dealer, but made sure i did not go over 30mph, as i did not want it to stall. during the drive the engine light was still blinking. waiting to hear back.from the dealer. i believe this is a powertrain issue that has been documented by honda and all 2017/2018 crvs have been recalled in china and europe, but not the us.

The automatic brakes deployed suddenly when there was no evidence of danger, twice at highway speeds of about 45 to 50 mph and on two occasions at residential speeds have about 20 to 25 mph.

Computer break system and applied brakes failed to stop our honda crv 2018 as we were exiting the santa fe opera in a slow moving line of cars down an incline. the brakes were applied at least three times and would not engage. car began to accelerate. at this time we made the decision to "select a pine tree" as a way to stop the crv. this was done to prevent a possible chain reaction of rear end collisions to a dozen or more cars and possible injury to the occupants. the air bags deployed. car was totaled by the insurance company.

Car purchased new from west hills honda, bremerton wa, in december 2017. equipped with 1.5 liter engine. gasoline is getting into the engine oil; high oil levels in crankcase. gasoline fumes. stationary and in motion; car is driven daily.

The collision mitigation system part of honda sensing will automatically and randomly engage while driving, causing the breaks to be self applied abruptly even when there is nothing in front of the car. this is extremely dangerous and almost caused multiple accidents. honda doesn't believe there is a problem. this has happened multiple times already.

I continue to get random "lane departure" when driving down a normal road. have taken to the dealer twice and they can not repeat the problem. today i was driving on a one way street in city traffic with nobody in front of me and several behind me, as i was going through a signal light intersection the crv went into collision alert with a warning on the dash and beeping, it slammed on the brakes and i was almost rear ended. there was nobody in front of me or coming from either side of the cross street. this has happen one time before when i was passing through a construction zone and one lane had cones cutting a two lane down to one lane. it again slammed an the brakes as if i was leaving the road. i also have problems with the auto dimming headlights that dim when they should not and go to bright sometimes when meeting traffic and should be dim. i have taken to the dealer for this also more than one time and they could not repeat the problem. i also get random messages that power has been lost to my information center (pictures included). i do not feel safe in this honda crv and the dealer seems they are just wanting me to be out of warranty or don't care.

Afraid this car will catch on fire! engine oil is getting diluted with fuel due to the turbo engines on the 2017 -2018 honda crvs. i notified stevenson hendrick honda in december 2018 of a fuel smell in cabin of car while driving and an mil (malfunction error came up & all safety features were disabled until i cut car off at next stop and restarted. dealership checked the car on 12/24/18 and said nothing was wrong. contacted dealership again due to fuel smell in cabin & we had checked oil & the dipstick reaked of fuel & was way over the high mark. took car on 8/10/19 and i made service manager tony check oil in front of me to verify fuel was in it. they said they changed computer module and did some updates to fix & told me to bring it back on 8/1/717 at 8;00 for install of spark plugs they ordered. drove 40 miles back home and fuel was already in the oil again! called dealership back to let them know i want the oil/oil filter changed again on 8/17/19 when they do spark plugs and that we will continue to check oil in car. i contacted honda as well & spoke to "cat". she wasn't helpful at all and refused to tell me why the software update notice they sent didn't say anything about fuel dilution in the oil. it only referred to error codes & whirling noise in engine. the dealership said this problem has only been happening in "cold weather regions" and that i am the first they have heard of. i told them that if people don't check their oil or if the dealership doesn't tell the consumer when they change their oil that they wouldn't know they had a problem since it has not been disclosed to the consumers.this car scares me me & i'm afraid my engine will catch on fire from this issue!

I was driving saturday 27, 2019 about 9:00 am in the pulaski skyway in new jersey then all of the sudden all the display warning lights went on and off until the car stall and the engine just stop working but the warning lights( every single one) just kept going on and off. i couldn't do anything as you may know the pulaski skyway has not place to pull over, you can imagine the traffic jam that my broke down car cause. the weekend of the 07/21/2019 i had a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin and when i check the oil dipstick it was overfill and had the strong smell of gasoline i called the dealer planet honda and they told me to bring my car to check on 07/25/2019, the same day the dealer called me and said that is nothing wrong with the car and the smell of gasoline and the overfill engine oil was normal. i have no confidence on driving my honda crv anymore. i bought the car on 06/15/2019 with 5,300 miles on it.

Driving down a country road doing about 55mph on july 28,19 my vehicle suddenly came to a dead stop for no reason. closest vehicle in front was 9-10 car lengths ahead. nothing on the side of the road or directly in front of me. if a vehicle was behind me i would have been rear ended. a malfunction such as this could cause a deadly unavoidable accident. at the time i did not have the adaptive cruise control set and had no control of gas pedal when this collision mitigation braking assist system activated. this vehicle is a time bomb for anyone driving it. this is clearly a safety hazard.and one which needs to be investigated.

While changing oil and filter at 30,000 miles 1) oil appeared highly diluted and watery 2) there was a strong gasoline smell coming from the used oil i took vehicle in for service and was told gas in oil is normal for these type engines but honda had extended warranty for these engines. i asked about the software 'fix' i had read about being performed and dealer said they could not make the update to my car since it wasnot showing any diagnostic trouble codes at this point.

The audio control panel (radio, heat, light brightness, etc) has a mind of it's own and at times will get into a mode where it cycles all the controls on-off-changing volume-brightness-switching radio stations and other things. it had been reported several times to the dealership with no faults found. i finall managed to capture this on my camera and sent it to the dealer. they then replaced the panel. no issues for a couple months and then it started again. i returned to the dealer who told me honda would not try to do anything to fix the issue. the subcontractor who made these panels was aware it had problems and "were working on a fix". in the mean time i have to try to drive with it making all these changes while it blinks, changes intensity and volume. this is a very substandard situation.i have movies of the panel doing this but no pictures.

On june 24, 2019, i was approaching an area on a chicago, il, residential city street where a crew had placed metal plates in the road to cover up a hole or something similar. it was a straight stretch of road on a slight downhill slope on a sunny early evening, with the sun behind the vehicle. i was probably traveling about 20 mph. as i approached the metal plates, the vehicle's automatic breaking kicked in and brought the vehicle to an abrupt, immediate stop. the breaks squealed and you could smell rubber from the tires burning. luckily, there was no car behind me. once we came to a complete stop, i tapped the brake and the car started rolling forward. there were no further incidents since then. a similar incident had occurred a few months ago but in that case the vehicle did not come to a complete stop. the brakes activated but disengaged before the car came to a stop. that was on a slight uphill slope, however., going through an intersection. i didn't think much of it until this second incident happened.

According to blackstone labs.oil analysis using oil from the first oil change at 5k miles on 1/2019 oil contaminated with gas from direct fuel injection system problem. driveability problem due to sticking acceleration pedal. this hesitation has almost caused accidents. my wife is reluctant to drive this vehicle. this fuel contamination of crankcase oil can cause serious damage to internal engine parts.this is a major problem regarding city & highway driving that acceleration is needed to maintain traffic flow. i have to be careful to avoid having to need to accelerate causing major hesitation (flat) & accelerator pedal stuck in down ( to floorboard) position.

Driving down the hwy with cruise control on suddenly get errors listed below, has happened twice. errors automatically clear after car is turned off and back on. cruise control and other sensing features unavailable while errors show on dashboard. errors: brake system, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation system problem, collision mitigation system problem. car has approximately 22k miles.

This is about my 2018 honda cr-v ex with around 14,700 miles at present.my whole family and a friend went to yakima,wa for cherry picking.on our way there from seattle,wa while driving using adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keeping assist system (lakas) suddenly a warning from the screen appeared that says..."power reduced - power grille problem" and then we can not accelerate the speed. luckily we made it to the shoulder of the highway for emergency park and wait for 5 to 10 minutes until the warning goes out from the screen. when it goes out we start the engine and start driving again and after 7 to 10 minutes the warning goes on again ,stop and goes again for the third time and we decided to turn off the acc and lkas and drive in a lower speed 60 to 65 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone.the next morning i checked the engine oil fill compartment and the engine oil dipstick and found out they have a strong gasoline smell.gasoline leaks to the engine oil compartment.when i checked the dipstick , the oil is dripping like water with blackish color because of the gasoline mixed to the oil. i reported it to the dealership for service and told me not to drive the car going to them instead the towing company (aaa) do the job to take it to the dealership.and the day when i picked up the car they told me that the gasoline i smell from the compartment is normal due to combustion. i asked them to check the engine oil dipstick to prove to them that it smells gasoline and dripping like water with blackish color (this is a newly changed pure synthetic engine oil /90% remaining).they did not check the dipstick and told me they can do nothing about it and told me to it's normal.they said it's safe to drive my car. i'm just hoping this problem be resolved very soon.

My 2018 honda cr-v 1.5t engine is "making oil". i change my own oil and monitor the level weekly. the dealer told me that the oil dilution issue that i read about in consume reports would not affect me because i am in a warm climate (florida) but that is not true. the oil level on my dip stick rose about 3/8 of an inch in 5000 miles. i changed the oil and we took a trip to tennessee in the winter and the oil level rose so much in the cold weather i was concerned that it would cause too much pressure on the seals so i drained some oil out. i would think that gas in the oil would severely effect engine life. the dealer denies that i have a problem saying the this is a cold weather issue.

I was driving my 2018 honda crv on a city street between 25 and 30 mph when the brakes suddenly applied themselves and the car jerked forward very hard. my foot was on the acclerator.there was no car, pedestrian of object in front of my car nor behind my car. the weather was clear, no rain for several days.i think it was the automatic braking system. i called the dealer as soon as i got home. they are closed. i will be taking my car to the dealer first thing in the morning

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 65 mph, there was a beeping noise coming from the screen and the screen went blank. the vehicle was taken to autonation honda fremont (5780 cushing pkwy, fremont, ca 94538, (510) 224-4801), but the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure persisted. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they informed the contact that there was a software failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 7,063.

I bought car used from gm dealership 3/16/19, wasn't aware of problem until first scheduled oil change.gas mixing in with oil causing oil level to rise significantly over short period of time, about a quart high with around 2,000 miles driven,mostly highway. honda service had me bring in vehicle after oil change to check level, then again after 1,000 miles to recheck. brought in in after about 1700 miles and oil was up about a quart according to service manager. honda dealer performed software "fix" to alleviate problem, but after 1,500 miles, oil level up significantly again. dealer contends honda doesn't have protocols in place to take care of issue yet. car in honda dealership today again for assessment, third oil change in 2 months. difficult to evaluate cars performance since i bought used and never had normal baseline to compare to.

I had the oil changed today and the mechanic said i had gas mixed in with the oil. he said this could cause engine problems and stalling. i am an 80 year old lady, and i don't want to get stranded.

The gear shift button on my 2018 crv broke off as i was shifting from drive to park. i was parked at the time, however, once it falls out the only way to shift gears again is to shove it back in place. it dangles and doesn't stay situated in the gear shift and sometimes doesn't go back in easily. this is unsafe and needs to be recalled with a better solution than replacing the button with the same button.

Traveling 45 mph on secondary road and car suddenly hit brake mode for no reason. no other traffic on road. vehicle skidded and threw everything in vehicle to floor including pet. whipped neck very hard.

The engine oil keeps increasing in volume causing me to drain about 1/2 qt about every 1000-1500 miles. if you do not keep a check on this it will degrade or cause engine failure. i live in georgia which has a mild climate.

Started vehicle while parked in parking lot to drive home, and all vehicle assist and other warning systems went off, also received warning all systems unable to initialize. had vehicle towed to dealership. dealer replaced steering angle sensor.

I was travelling approximately 50 mph on local highway. no cars directly in front of me for a 1/4 mile. it had rained overnight and the road conditions were slightly damp but no puddles. i was crossing through an intersection and the car’s “brake” alarm (forward collision system) falsely triggered on the dashboard and instantly slammed on my brakes and brought my 2018 crv to a dead stop. my cargo went flying forward and my head jerked forward hard. i was wearing my seat belt. no car was immediately behind me otherwise they would have for sure crashed into my car. i contacted my local honda dealer and brought the vehicle in that afternoon. they said they would run diagnostics on it. they called me back the next day and said that there "were no trouble codes stored in the vehicle". they said they "contacted honda and there were 'no known issues' and there was nothing else they could do for me". they suggested i turn off the forward collision system if i was concerned. this is crazy and hazardous. the vehicle should not put me (and others) in danger like this. thank god my wife and kids were not in the vehicle when this happened. thank god no one was behind me. i pray they aren't when this happens again. there needs to be some sort of recall or warning regarding this.

On 9/23/19 parked the vehicle. shut off vehicle while still in drive. the vehicle did not alert me that the car was not in park. got out of car and door locked like everything was okay - no other beeps or notifications. vehicle rolled out of driveway and hit a tree causing significant rear damage (thankfully did not hit any other vehicle or pedestrian). brought to honda dealership and they could not find anything although i explained that the warning indicators work intermittently. finally on 10/2/19 i videotaped an incident where it did not alert me in anyway when i shut the car off and left in the drive gear (images from video attached). honda states emergency parking brake should always be engaged; however, this does not fix the fact that the safety notifications are not working as expected. definitely a vehicle safety issue.

No heat when outside temperature is below 20 degrees

While driving on a main road, i went through an intersection with no cars in front or to the side of me, but 2 cars close behind me. when i went through the intersection, my brake lights began flashing and then my car stopped itself on impact. the 2 cars behind me swerved around me almost causing an accident. there were no vehicles that should have set off the automatic breaking and the weather conditions were fine.

My 2018 honda cr v has the 1.5 litre turbo engine. i have reviewed several hundred complaints that have been filed regarding the mixing of the fuel/gas with the engine oil. the issue seems to be more prevalent in the north, however, i have the same issue here in oklahoma. upon engine start there is a strong odor of gasoline coming from the rear passenger seating. i have also noted increase oil levels in the engine crankcase. also the smell of gasoline coming from the oil dipstick. i am writing to inquire if honda motor company intends to do something to remedy this issue. the smell starts at the moment the engine is started.. the car can be stationary and i can still notice the smell of fuel. prolonged exposure of fuel in the crankcase will certainly reduce the life of these engines. please advise me as to how i can resolve this matter with honda? thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 65 mph, the cruise control and road departure warning indicators illuminated. there was also a mitigation system failure and a beeping noise was heard. the driver coasted into a parking lot and depressed the brake pedal, and all the warning indicators turned off. the contact called buerkle honda (3360 hey 61 n vadnais heights, mn 55110, (651) 490-6600) where an appointment was scheduled. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the contact stated that the failure recurred twice. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 12,500.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed a fuel odor coming from the engine compartment. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was dark oil in the crank case. the mechanic changed the oil, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to honda of el cerrito (866)-414-9404, located at 11755 san pablo ave, el cerrito, ca 94530)where the technician changed the oil and stated that there was no failure with the vehicle. the failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer who performed a diagnostic test and kept the vehicle for more tests. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

When driving, the collision mitigation system (auto braking) will slam on the brakes when there is no threat. i may be cruising down the highway with no vehicles around and suddenly the car is braking hard.

Vehicle was traveling westbound on i-90 in massachusetts in the travel lane at between 65-68 mph. the cruise control was not engaged; the lane keeping assist feature was not active. it was around 7:00 pm. no cars in the passing lane. a tractor trailer was about 200-300 feet in front. the dashboard chimed and displayed the following three warning messages: collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist system. the first time each message was displayed a chime sounded; the messages continued to rotate through the display for the next thirty minutes. the messages stopped when we got home and put the car in the garage in park. additionally, the light for 'brake system' (near the temperature gauge) came on. i brought the car in today for service (it just happened that it was scheduled for an oil change); i told the service advisor about what had happened; the technician working on the vehicle said no codes were being displayed. he took it for a ride but could not get the messages to come up (it only happened one time). the service advisor said it was probably 'just a glitch'.

Gas leaks into the engine while i’m driving, which will inevitably engine failure and the car will stall while driving, this poses a risk for motor vehicle collision.. the honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle is aware of this and recommended an oil change. 48 hours later my oil is completely diluted with gasoline again. there is a strong gas odor in the cabin of my car which is a health hazard to myself and my 2 small children, one with asthma. i’ve contacted honda of america several times regarding this issue with no solution.

I bought a honda cr-v 2018 last year in may. the vehicle only have 8000 miles on it. now i recently notice that when i am starting the car when pressing on the brake and pressing the start button. it will try to start but fails. it seems you need to do this numerous times to start the vehicle. this have been happening to me in the last 3 days. i called the honda dealer about it and schedule an appointment with them tomorrow.

Reoccurring issue of the infotainment screen either freezing or going bazerk while driving. either nothing works, including the power button to turn the whole display off, or the button works, cuts the display off and the radio continues to play, or the display starts flashing between screens, adjusting the brightness, beeping continuously and sometimes making phone calls all while driving down the road. the only way to get it to stop is to pull off the road and cut the car off. this seems to be an issue with multiple people posting here..... who knows how many people aren't going thru this process to report. isn't this distraction while driving dangerous enough to be investigated and provide for a recall. i have a video but don't know how to load it. it has happened multiple times before and after the video i took, but i'll use the date of the video. hoping that posting to this site will bring some action.

2018 honda crv was suddenly flashed “brake message” on dash and brake applied by themself with my foot on acceleration pedal during about 65 miles per hour driving on freeway, there was no cars in front of this vehicle. i dropped this car to honda dealer on same day this malfunction happened (sep. 13, 2019), and picked up sep 16, 2019. they found error code, checked battery, hard reset the associated system.

My windshield developed a crack in the front passenger side just above one of the air vents (in march 2019) overnight while parked in the parking lot to my apartment complex. no other cars were near it for the crack to occur, and there were no signs of impact. i took it into honda (honda of lisle) the next day to have them inspect it and the dealership deemed it "non-impact" caused based on their investigation. however, since it was windshield damage, they told me they had to submit it to their regional director who would make the final call and determine whether it would be covered by the honda as a special circumstance under the warrantee (the car was only two months old). after submitting it to him, customer relations informed me, several days later, that the regional director deemed the crack "impact caused" based on his visual inspection of the pictures that the honda dealership had sent him, contradicting their decision. i appealed and got a second opinion from safelite, who deemed the crack non-impact caused as well. american honda rejected my appeal. i also discovered a forum discussing similar cracks occurring on the same make and model. i relayed this information and honda still refused to cover the windshield under the warrantee. i wrote a letter to corporate, and honda again, refused. i asked customer relations under what conditions honda would cover windshield damage and was informed that the dealership alone would have to rule it a defect. i spoke with the dealership about this and they told me that they could not deem the crack a defect because it was glass related, and required upper management approval. after speaking with honda representatives at other dealerships, they informed me that when it came to glass and similar non-standard warranty claim, there was a hole in the warranty and review process that put other customers in similar position as me

At various speeds and different roads my car seems to brake for no reason no cars in front of me and no obstructions of radar or camera. the screen starts flashing brake brake brake and then proceeds to stop the vehicle, even on the middle of the freeway. have been to the dealer multiple times and they claim there’s nothing wrong with my car. this is obviously dangerous, and i fear for my own safety

Gasoline is leaking into the engine oil. a warranty repair was done jan 2019 to resolve the problem but in sept 2019 the engine oil was noted to be above full and smell of gasoline. the car was brought in for further repair but no further repair is available and because honda claims this to be "a normal characteristic" of the car, no oil change was done either. however, the honda 2018 cr-v manual clearly points out that over filling the oil may lead to leaks or engine damage. copies of the repair receipt and honda oil overfill warning are attached.

My recent encounter was on a two lane road traveling at 40 mph. no cars were in front of me and a car was about 2 car lengths behind me. a mini school bus was heading in the other direction about 2 car lengths on the other side of the road. i had my two grandchildren in the car with me, when all of a sudden the car breaked hard sending all my things on the floor and scarring my granddaughters. i was shaken myself being nearly rear ended by the car behind me. i took it in to atlantic honda, and was told “ no problems were found on the computer and could not duplicate the issue”. “never had anyone complain of this”. i also advised them, the break light flashes “out of the blue” while driving on the highway with no other cars around. i was told to bring it in if it happens again. i feel on edge driving the car not knowing if it will break unexpectedly!

All electronics started to fail, steering jammed, lost control of vehicle. service center diagnosed problem to broken power steering motor. vehicle was in motion entering a highway. aug 24th 2019. electronic brake failure and car wouldn't start - sep 11, 2019.

The automatic braking system engages when there is no imminent danger. sometimes it occurs when the vehicle in front exits onto an off-ramp and slows down. even though they are not in front of my car, the auto braking triggers. in other situations there has been no discernable reason for the brakes to trigger, creating a significant danger of being rear-ended by the car following me. in the latter case, it happens more frequently when there there is a commercial-size truck in the right lane - usually not slowing down or maneuvering in any apparent way.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the vehicle was equipped with a crash mitigation system. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle approached two steel plates in the road. the contact started to brake near a construction zone; however, the crash mitigation system suddenly stopped the vehicle. the failure almost caused the contact's vehicle to be rear ended. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the contact believed that the failure was due to a design flaw since the same failure occurred with his son who had the same model vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 15,700.

Safety latch of the hood failed and the hood came up while driving in the middle of the road. this happened while accelerating and reaching approximately 45 mph. thanks to low speed and no traffic i could manage to stop the vehicle without fatal consequences. i have gone to revision in the dealership and i have contacted american honda, they argued the vehicle passed the mechanical test and they refused any responsibility for the unsafe, poor design of the latching system. it worth to mention that: 1- this vehicle has the hood release inside, accessible for example to kids, but there is no warning indicator at all when the safety latch is activated, or the hood is not fully closed. 2- this vehicle does not have dashboard light warnings similar to the alert for lateral doors or rear door ajar, even though the latter can be significantly less dangerous than a hood opening incident. 3- the hood safety latch clearly functions properly when lifted up under normal circumstances with the car stopped. however, the safety latch fails due to continuous changes in the direction and magnitude of the resultant forces due to vibrations, wind load, etc. this latch cannot be considered a “safety” device, if it doesn’t not function properly under all reasonable conditions. 4- this 2018 year vehicle was purchased new by the current owner, and all maintenance care is updated and always completed by official (i.e. licensed) honda service centers.

Rear passenger side door window glass shattered while driving on the highway. i heard a loud pop before the glass shattered. there were no vehicles to the right of or in front of my car when it happened, since i was in the right-most lane of traffic. therefore, the glass could not have been shattered by debris.

2018 honda cr-v. consumer writes in regards to the collision mitigation braking system. (cmbs) malfunction. *ld *js

Oil being diluted with gas. honda issued a "service bulletin" about this. there is a youtube video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvdknrgzgt8 we took it in and the "fix" was a software update, but the oil continues to get diluted with gas. we will be taking it in for the 3rd time for this problem. in wisconsin, if they fail to fix the problem in 4 tries, it becomes a lemon. i don't want it to come to that because i am sure that will be a big hassle, but the long term problems caused by gas in the oil may be worse. not what i expect from honda!

Honda sensing auto braking did an emergency stop for no reason. it happen twice on the same location. the car miss interpreted rectangular concrete patch on black asphalt as a hazard. it happen twice in the same location one month apart, each time i came from a different direction. speed was low, about 15 miles/h. it was in a very big parking lot driving straight.

The seats are extremely uncomfortable and cause bottom and back pain. after driving for 30-40 minutes the driver's bottom becomes numb. this is a safety issue because the driver cannot attend to the road as effectively while being in extreme discomfort. the seats are not well-designed if they are causing the driver this much pain. adjusting the seat in many possible positions does not eliminate this discomfort.

Gasoline leaking into oil. checking dipstick gives very strong smell of gas. as yet no stalls. 5000 miles on oil and the oil level is at or above full. car is driven in moderate climate and for typical mixture of trips.

There are 3 seat belt assemblies in the back seat. in order to buckle the left rear seatbelt (behind drivers side) the belt has to cross-over the buckle for the center seat belt. this effectively renders one of the 3 seat belts useless. this is a real safety issue, especially if trying to have 2 passengers plus a child seat in the back. i asked the service manager at the honda dealer in wilmington nc to fix it, and he said they are "all like that" and that it cannot be reversed.

I have had an issue with the adaptive cruise control multiple (10-12) times. the cr-v seems to "lose" the car in front causing it to accelerate (if the person in front of you is going slower than your cruise is set for). then when it "finds" the car again and it brakes suddenly. i took the car into the dealer about a week and a half ago complaining. they could not reproduce the issue and sent me along with no fix.

Gasoline is mixing with oil. overfilling the dipstick line. the oil has the smell of gasoline. recall performed at dealership in dec 2018 did not take care of problem. took to dealership april 19 2019 found to be a quart overfilled mixed with gadoline

Gas smell!!!!! gas in the oil!!!!! no recall? are you serious?

We purchased a new 2018 honda cr-v ex in december 2018 from a near-by honda dealer. we live in baltimore county, md, and do most of our driving locally. within a matter of weeks after driving, we started noticing a strong gas smell in the cabin and outside the car. the issue has persisted, and started to get worse. we researched our issue, and noted many customer complaints regarding oil dilution problems on 2018 cr- v 1.5l turbo-charged engines. in early april 2019, we had our first service visit to check our cabin gas smell problem with the dealer. mileage 1,500 miles. on the service report, dealer noted "confirmed oil and gas mixture complaint. oil level was much higher than normal on dipstick. honda is aware of this issue but does not have a fix at this time. please check oil level often". we had the dealer perform an oil and filter change due to strong gas odor in our cabin. the dealer indicated honda will not pay for the oil change, even though it was part of a known unresolved issue. there is no recall in maryland yet, but there should be in our opinion. since changing the oil three weeks ago, the gas odor is less observable at this time. we consider the oil dilution problem to be a health concern, and a potential safety problem on the cr-v. we are concerned to have a significant issue with no fixes available in maryland. we understand honda has already issued fixes for oil dilution issues in neighboring pennsylvannia and delaware.

Unexpected braking; occurred 2/9/2019m while driving down a straight, level road, with no other cars in front or behind me. sunny day, no wind, no buildings or shadows of any kind, no debris on road -- perfect driving conditions. car braked without warning, from 40mph to ~20mph in a fraction of a second, seat belt held me back, then brakes released. immediately visited dealership (autonation honda 104, 2999 w 104th, westminster, co), reported problem, they did some computer diagnostics, found nothing, tried to blame problem on a blowing leaf.

Smelled gasoline in and outside the car. car never warms up. heat does not work. engine oil smells like gasoline & significantly over full mark on dipstick. took vehicle to honda dealer late november 2018. parts took several weeks. completed 12/17/18 honda update 18-114. heat never worked over winter, car never warmed up unless driven in "l" for an extended period of time, smelled of gas & engine oil level exceeded full mark. took into dealer & dealer measure engine oil over 1 inch above full on dipstick. honda service advisor consulted with honda who stated this is a "normal" characteristic of this motor. nothing was done to fix issue & deemed excessive gasoline in the oil as being normal. engine continues not to provide heat & occassionally smells of gasoline. dealer states if car is primarily used for short distances the vehicle does not have time to warm up & burn off excess gasoline in the injectors. i have lived in the same house for 15 years & in that time had 7 cars. my commutes & overall use of vehicles has not changed but this is the only car to experience this issue.

While driving our 2018 honda cr-v touring car, the instrument-navigation panel randomly started flashing, blinking, and beeping on and off continuously. reported the problem to honda dealership, who commented that this was a known problem. honda is awaiting a solution. (but reading comments on line - apparently the problem has been known for a couple of years!). stopped and turned off car, then restarted. so far problem has not reoccurred, but there are concerns if this is known 2-3 year old problem that hasn't yet been solved.

On two occasions the automatic breaking system engaged. on the first occasion, i was driving at a speed of approximately 30 mph and the road was completely clear with no cars in front of me or objects in the road. on the second occasion, i was driving over a railroad track at approximately 10 or 15 mph. there were no cars in front of me. both times the breaks engaged abruptly and i was lucky there were no cars following closely or it would have caused a collision.

The oil level remains elevated even after the repair/recall to address earth dream engine problems

I noticed my oil was overfilled early in april 2019. honda has a known problem with 2017 & 2018 crvs with the 1.5 twin turbo engines with gasoline getting into the oil, i called honda corp & they had valley honda look at the car. they removed 1/2 qt oil from the car. you can smell the gasoline in the oil they said the car is safe & drive it. i am concerned about the safety of the car % warranty on the engine... the chinese govt had honda recall all these crvs but i cant find out what the recall involved.. can u help me... thank you

Windows and sunroof open on own a number of times on new 2018 honda crv. i see this is an issue that many people are complaining about.

In cold weather - below ~15 degrees, the engine fully warms up at highway speeds but temp drops to below the bottom of the gauge if you exit the highway or get into traffic jam . at less than highway speed/bumper to bumper traffic, heat/defroster not warm enough to keep windshield clear. glass/wipers ice up.

Initial oil change on 2018 honda cr-v ex with 1.5 turbo engine at 2303 miles. one week after changing oil noticed oil level had increased over 1/8" on dipstick and that oil on dipstick smells strongly of gasoline (oil level check was performed several hours after driving). dilution of oil with gasoline is obviously detrimental to continued engine operation - therefore i can no longer drive my new vehicle. research of the issue and identical symptoms from numerous owners clearly proves that honda does not accept responsibility for this catastrophic design flaw (not in america anyway). appears only possible solutions are class action lawsuit, lemon laws or waiting for honda to man up. the obvious misinformation and corruption of the manufacturer toward their customers, concerning this well documented issue, is (imho) disgusting! it is not normal or in anyway safe or ok for engine crankcases to fill up with gasoline....ever!!! the fuel in oil issue is not the issue (design flaws happen when manufacturers fail to properly test new designs)...honda's corrupt treatment of customers with the issue is the real issue and continued similar behavior just might put them out of business permanently.

Driving down road at 30 mph. nearest car 1 block ahead in front of me. car braked hard and suddenly with out warning and for no apparent reason). fortunately no one was behind me of there would have been an accident.

My car has the oil dilution issue. have had the oil changed 2 times with less than 7000 miles on car. dealer cannot fix yet because they are not authorized.

Traversing thru an intersection, my honda crv was t-boned on the passenger side. the side air bags inflated protecting myself and my wife. the momentum of the collision pushed me into an oncoming vehicle such that the front end of the crv was also crushed. neither of the front air bags inflated.

On multiple occasions, all warning lights and dash warnings come on, all driver assist functions stop working. this has happened both while stationary and while driving at a high rate of speed. i've taken it to the dealer, and they say no errors come up. additionally, yesterday, my wipers started up on their own after opening the tailgate (the car was off at the time) and i couldn't get it to stop. i tried starting and shutting down the car multiple times, as well as disconnecting the battery. (the wipers stopped when the battery was disconnected, but started back as soon as i reconnected it.) after multiple attempts, with the wipers still on, the problem stopped on its own.

On 3 different occasions, while driving the car on the interstate highway, it started vibrating, and would not accelerate, burning smell occurred, several warning lights came up on the dashboard. we had to navigate the car from the middle of highway to the shoulder of the highway very abruptly. it was a near death experience as several trucks and cars were traveling on the highway at very fast speeds. reported the first occurrence to the mcgrath city honda, chicago, il in january 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures and they replaced some fuel sensors and informed me that this was a manufacturing issue (defective part). second incident occurred in february 2019, could not take photos as the problems went away after restarting the engine. reported the third incident in march 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures to the same dealership and i was informed that there is a problem with fuel injector and they placed the order for the part. we are really, really scared of driving this defective, malfunctioning and hazardous vehicle. i searched the internet last night and it seems several other honda crv owners are having these issues. please investigate this serious issue and save the people.

Bad design -- the 2nd row middle and left seat belt buckle appear to be reversed. when the middle and left seat belts are attached to the buckles they have to cross over each other. if one passenger is already belted in it becomes very difficult to secure the other passenger in either the middle or left seat position. numerous complaints on other web sites, such as "procarseatsafety.com we notice this issue within a month of leasing this vehicle. the dealer was advised and said that's the way honda designed it.

We were driving from bridgeport,wv to new jersey on 2/9/19. four hours into the trip carall the lights on dash board came on and car slowed down and accelerator did not work at that point. car stopped on the high way. we pulled over called aaa service and toyota. we took the car in to honda of turnersville, nj they fix multiple dtc updated po302 related recall, updated pcm/tcu no more misfire. car now we are having the same problem again. this week its twice.

Driving my car. heard a noise, stopped as soon as i could. probably about 1.5 miles. i had a flat. it wasn't one of those big flat tires you get and you know it within 10 seconds. my tire pressure light never came on. as soon as the spare tire was put on, the pressure light came on. i got a new tire at the closest tire place. it wasn't the same manufacturer, but it was the same tire specifications, because they didn't have the exact tire. i've done that many times in the past, with no problem. well, the tire pressuring system light kept going on. i kept resetting it and it would go on again. i took it to the dealer. they said they reset it. 10 minutes after leaving the dealer as i was driving, the light came back on. i went back to the dealer the next day. they told me it wasn't the exact tire, and i would have to replace my new tire. i did that. two weeks later, the tire light (tpms) was on again. went back to the dealer again. they told me that it had to be reset again, and that it should be reset 3 times really fast. (is this in the manual? is this a real thing?) it hasn't come back on. what concerns me, is the safety of driving with a flat or low tire pressure with no warning. and it's scary driving with the light coming on every 10 minutes. how am i supposed to know when there's a real emergency? if a warning light doesn't come come on with a flat, when is it supposed to come on? when you don't put on an exact matching tire? when you don't reset it 3 times really fast? 10,000 miles on the car and it had to be brought in for service 3 times in a 2 week time span.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving, the steering wheel started vibrating and pulled to the right as if the lane assist feature were engaged. the contact stated that the option to use the feature was off at the time of the failure. the dealer (d'ella honda of glens falls, 313 quaker rd, queensbury, ny 12804, (518) 793-3811) stated that they would attempt to duplicate the failure. the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. also, the contact stated that the front console malfunctioned and the back-up camera would appear when the vehicle was not in reverse. the manufacturer stated that there was a software malfunction and they were working on a repair solution. the contact was provided a loaner vehicle. the failure mileage was 3,900.

We are experiencing a smell of gas in the cabin. the has been an ongoing issue since we purchased it brand new. at first we thought we stepped in gas and the smell was from our shoes. after more headaches and research, we are realizing that this is a common problem with the 2017 and 2018 cr-v's. another related problem we are having is that the engine occasionally stalls upon starting. we park the car in a garage. while at work, the car is parked outside. i went out to the car and tried to start it and the engine was hesitant to start and sounded like i was trying to start a car with a dead battery. it lagged and after three attempts the car started. this has happened to me a total of three times during the winter. each incident was a separate occasion. each time was after the car was parked outside for a few hours.

When driving down the hwy, multiple times now, all of the dash warning lights come on concerning the sensing systems and brake system. i have taken to the dealership 4 times now with no real answers. it's your toll tag placement - nope. it's an old code that we reset - nope. it isn't happening now - then i leave and it happens the next day. where do i report a 35k lemon???

Lane departure and collision control often engage without cause. twice i have been driving and the lane departure sensors go off and vehicle automatically brakes for no obvious reason. it appears that it may be falsely reading shadows or wet roadways. one incident was on a city street at about 40 mph. the other was on the interstate at around 70 mph.

During interstate driving using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle warning lights for the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist system, braking warning indicators illuminated and the adaptive cruise control stopped working causing the vehicle to decelerate.

This vehicle after having 4500 miles, began to smell terribly of gasoline inside and outside of the vehicle. the vehicle sputtered , did not want to run, and stalled a few times before i wound up at the dealership. i also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. the vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a hopeful repair. here i am with no vehicle, and a $400 per month payment. this is absolutely unacceptable in today’s world. this problem should have been fixed, before the vehicle was allowed to be put up for sale . a vehicle is deemed not safe, when it’s stalls on you in the middle of traffic.

Warning lights flashing then had software update ac control all that was on the bulletin , lights flashing again warning lights so at 38,000 had to have fuel injectors, one warning light came on since then after cutting car off hasn’t come back on yet both stationary, and in motion .

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving various speeds, an abnormal beeping noise was heard and the radio lighting and instrument panel indicators flashed on and off. the vehicle was taken to jenkins honda of leesburg (8865 us-441, leesburg, fl 34788, (352) 815-2482) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted four more times. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 23,000.

The left, rear (behind driver) seat belt latch is in the wrong position creating a safety hazard. when three (3) passengers are on the rear seat, the belt from the center crosses over the belt from the left at the latching points; thereby creating a point of double load where the belts cross. in an accident this could be catastrophic. the problem is a design flaw that i noticed on the day specified on this form.

Oil dilution cause engine wear in short time

Raw fuel smell inside cabin and outside of vehicle . engine oil diluted and oil level increased . fuel mixed in with oil .

In the winter, i noticed a reduction in power from the vehicle. the engine began to run rough and stalled a few times in parking lots. there was the smell of gas and sulfates coming through the vents. the oil level was very high. i took the car to the dealer and they changed the oil. four months later with normal use of the vehicle, the smell of gas is again coming through the vents, the engine seems to be running rough again, and the oil level is high. i fear the vehicle will stall in a dangerous situation, and the fumes in the cabin make me feel sick.

Fuel mixing in oil system, loosing power that can cause an acident.

Cr-v with now 6000 miles on it gets oil in gas. oil changed at dealer twice. dealer says honda knows about this problem, but my car vin not included in recall. have contacted american honda but was unable to get fix authorized. this car is defective and under warranty. getting fix should not be a problem! gas in oil may also be a fire hazard.

The navigation/infotainment display works intermittently while driving the vehicle, it becomes unusable and also just blacks out so if you are using the navigation while driving it becomes inoperable and the only way to correct it is to pull over turn the car off and restart it which is dangerous. honda has stated that they are aware of the problem but have no solution yet.

I was driving from virginia beach, va to midlothian, va on state 288 north (wwii veterans memorial highway traveling at approximately 50-60 mph far left lane. i was using cruise control. suddenly smoke started to appear from what i thought was another vehicle however, i quickly realized it was from my vehicle what appeared from under my hood. i immediately slowed down, put on my hazards and moved to the far-right shoulder just short of mile marker 10. i was traveling with a coworker and we both existed the vehicle and white smoke immediately started to fill the interior from the smoke under the hood. we closed both door and started to move away from the front of the vehicle along the shoulder. we both knelt down to see what appeared to be fire dripping from the underside to the asphalt. at this point in time we started to see flames come out from under the hood and begin to engulf the care in less than 10 min. i immediately called 911 from my coworkers’ phone because left mine in the vehicle and dared not to reenter it. a passerby who happened to be a volunteer fireman stopped and attempted to use his vehicles fire extinguisher to put out the flame but it was too large a fire. the state troopers arrived in about 10 min then the fire trucks arrived about 10 min after. by then the entire care was in dark black smoke with flames all around it. we heard several explosions which the firefighters said were my tires and air bag deployment canisters. the firefighters put out the fire with a foam agent and proceeded to check for remaining heat. no indicators were illuminated prior to us stopping due to seeing the smoke. this vehicle is serviced at the normal intervals by priority honda in chesapeake, va where it was purchased and i've no issues prior to this incident.

The back seatbelts cross, making it very dangerous to have a passenger in the middle seat. the back driver side passenger belt has to cross over the middle belt in order to buckle. those presents a huge hazard. honda has offered no fix.

The sunroof keep leaking water to the trunk. i got it repaired 3 time. the issues happen during a rainstorm or going to a carwash:

Engine oil dilution. smells gas. oil level higher than max. some loss of engine power. all happened before 5k miles. less than 700 miles another oil change for the same reason. dealer said nothing wrong. after driving 100 miles still same problems.

I purchased this 1.5 turbo and found out later the gasoline flows into the oil pan mixing together. honda says this is a common occurrence and i disagree . while purchasing this honda , the dealership never mentioned this situation. i feel that i purchased this honda cr-v , 1.5 turbo under fraudulent terms. everyone knows that when gasoline is mixed with oil, the oil protection is reduced proportionately. respectfully submitted, (xxxxx) parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving on the interstate and heard a loud bang that sounded like a gunshot. once pulled over, i inspected the vehicle and found that the bang occurred when my sunroof had spontaneously exploded.

There are recurring problems with the infotainment system display: 1. numerous times the display has gone full freak-out while the car was in motion. the display turns itself on and off, attempts to adjust its own brightness and repeatedly beeps. the only way to stop the madness is to pull over and shut the car off. this is a totally uncool thing to happen when one is trying to pay attention to the traffic around them. please also reference nhtsa complaint #11132814 for this same vehicle. 2. even though the touch screen sensitivity is set the highest level, sometimes you must press the “cyber buttons” repeatedly before the unit registers that you have pressed a button. while i am motoring down the road pressing faux buttons 10-15 times to try to get the unit to do something guess where my eyes are not…yeah, on the road in front of me where my eyes should be paying attention. the manufacturer states that my infotainment system display/control unit is working per spec.

The design of the bottom of the front passenger door is a safety hazard. there is a sharp edge that can cause injury to passengers when entering and exiting the vehicle. my elderly mother received a minor laceration on her leg from this door. the door tried to get my brother’s leg numerous times, but he was wearing jeans so no laceration. these occurrences happened in jan & feb of 2019 when the vehicle was being used to carry passengers. the vehicle is normally just used for the driver without having passengers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving between 55 and 60 mph, the brake warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated independently. in addition, while driving with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle decelerated from 58 to 45 mph independently. don ayres honda (4740 lima rd, fort wayne, in 46808, (260) 484-0551) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 6,700.

The headlights and taillights of this vehicle are not weather-tight and accumulate moisture from washing the car or from rain. at night when using the headlights, the interior of the headlight lens fogs up from the collected moisture and reduces the effectiveness of the lights. i purchased this vehicle brand new and there was already a layer of dust on the interior of the headlight lenses when i took possession of it. as the vehicle ages, the light output of the headlights will just continue to diminish as more and more dust collects. obviously, the manufacturer cannot figure out how to make a decent headlight. this is a continuing problem starting from day of purchase. i have put the date of purchase as a date of occurrence.

Vehicle was at approximately 45 mph on a local street when the collision avoidance braking automatically engaged. not a single vehicle or object was in front of the car.car came to a screeching halt. had to veer off onto center of the road onto left turn only lane to avoid rear car crash. dangerous condition. lost control of the vehicle. stepping on the brakes or accelerator could not override the event till car came to a screeching halt.

The engine oil level increases as the car is driven. changed oil after 7500 mile interval, and the used oil was 1.2 quarts more than when first installed. oil is being diluted

While changing the oil myself at 14,00 miles i noticed the oil level was more than a half inch above the full line and smelled of strongly of gasoline i checked online to see if other crv oweners were experiencing the same issue. this appears to be a widespread problem with honas 1.5 turbo engine. after reading about the issue i was reminded of two instances this past winter when the vehicle cabin smelled strongly of gasoline, both times while stopped in traffic.

While traveling down a 2 lane road at about 35 mp/hr i noticed a large metal plate that a utility company had used to cover a hole in the road. as the car approached the plate, the collision mitigation braking system activated unexpectedly, throwing me violently forward in the seat. there were 2 cars behind me that almost rear ended me. i reported this incident to the car dealership and to american honda client services within a couple of days and asked that the cmbs feature be disabled because i fear it will activate again unexpectedly at some point, causing a loss of control of the vehicle and, or, a rear end collision. they said that the feature could not be disabled. it could only be shut down by an on/off button on the dash. however, it automatically resets when you start the engine. because of this unexpected and violent experience, i feel that the cmbs is a dangerous feature and that it could cause a very serious accident. i'm asking that the nhtsa get honda to fix the cmbs issue before someone is seriously injured. thank you.

While driving our 2017 honda crv today with our young grandchildren in the vehicle on a busy highway the gear shift button on the shifter and a spring suddenly popped out and fell on the floor. i pulled off the road and obviously could not shift the vehicle into park or reverse. luckily i was able to leave the vehicle in drive and make it back to our house. i consider this a serious issue. i have read of several instances of this happening and the crv requiring to be towed to a dealership. honda needs to issue a recall on this issue as well as the serious gas in oil issue with this vehicle. we live in an area with severe winter weather and the possibility of being stranded because of this defect is dangerous.

We purchased the 2018 cr-v and july of last year. at that time we had two children and expecting a third. we knew all three kiddos would fit in the crv's backseat. what we came to find out after needing all three seat belts, we realized that there cannot be three people safely buckled at the same time. making our 5 passenger car really only a four passenger car. the buckles on the left side and the middle side are criss-crossed making it impossible to safely transport all three of our children at the same time. i've contacted honda and our dealership with no help whatsoever. they expect me to keep driving an unsafe car.

While driving on a city street, the engine of our 2018 honda cr-v (1.5 l turbo) suddenly lost power and smoke began pouring out of the exhaust, this happened during rush hour on a busy portland, oregon, street on a dark and rainy october evening. thankfully, the driver of the cr-v managed to get off the street and roll into a gas station without getting rear-ended. the cr-v was towed to a honda dealer's service department, where the cause of the problem was identified as "oil level above spec." rising oil level is a common problem in 2017-18 honda cr-vs, caused by dilution of crankcase oil with unburned gasoline due to an engine design flaw well known to honda. driving a vehicle with an engine that could fail at any time/place is definitely a safety issue, and the affected honda vehicles should immediately be recalled in the u.s. they already been recalled in china!

Radio screen randomly starts adjusting its brightness. the first time this happened was 4/32/19, but it has happened to me multiple times since then all while driving and there is nothing i could do to make it stop other then restarting the car. it is very distracting because it is constantly beeping while it is trying to make this adjustment. i tried turning the radio off, this did not help. i was told by the honda dealership to hit the dim button on the screen, but this did not work either. the only way that i have been able to resolve this is to pull off the highway/road turn the car off and back on.

Tailgate window shattered for no reason. my vehicle was parked in a parking lot. i opened the backseat driver side door to get something from the backseat and within seconds heard a loud pop. i looked up and out the back window and it was completely shattered. it was still all in tact, just shattered. i looked at the window and there was no apparent reason why it would have shattered. when i shut the door a large chunk from the middle fell into the car.

Engine stalled after more than 2 hours highway drive; after 20 minutes break the engines ran again; this problem happened twice over last 2 weeks.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. several weeks after an oil change was performed on the vehicle, the contact checked the engine oil dipstick and noticed that the engine oil was extremely dirty. the vehicle was taken to luther brookdale honda (located at 6800 brooklyn blvd, brooklyn center, mn 55429, (612) 424-7830) where fuel was found on the oil dipstick. the contact was informed that it was a normal occurrence. the contact was concerned about the fuel and oil dilution. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 09533542. the approximate failure mileage was 4,495. *bf *tr

At random times while driving the infotainment screen randomly starts flashing and beeping. with the brightness control bar popping up at the bottom of the screen. this is very distracting to the driver while operating the vehicle. this has happened three time while the vehicle was in motion on at highway speeds and while driving in traffic. the only way to stop this is to turn the car off. this is a big saftey issue for safe operation of the vehicle and it will cause an accident for someone. it seems to happen randomly i belive it may happen when the navigation system is activated and the car has an android phone attached however i am unable to replicate it. it has happened 4 times. my vehicle has 8000 miles on it. additionally there are report on the internet that this has happend to other drivers as well. i reported this by telephone to customer service at honda as well 0n 05/30/2019 . i also had an issue that onetime this winter i started the car and the sunroof automatically opened and could not be closed for about 1 hour. luckily it was not raining or snowing that day. there seems to be a number of issues with the electronic control system on this vehicle.

While driving my 2018 crv-ex the dashboard info display will randomly adjust brightness and turn it on/off. the only way to stop it it is to pull over and restart the car. very dangerous. will do it twice in one day and then not happen for several days.

My vehicle was in motion traveling at 30 mph on a city street. my vehicle suddenly flashed the brake warning and the brakes were engaged automatically until the vehicle reached a full stop. there was no reason for this as there were no cars in front of me or any other obstacle in my path. no car was in the oncoming lane either. this is the 2nd time this has happened in this vehicle under the same conditions.

My vehicle was parked with with no trees or bridges around it. when i got into my car and closed the door the sunroof fell in on me. it’s was a spiderweb crack across the entire roof. it was 93 degrees and sunny. there was no damage to the roof when i closed the sun roof about 8 hours earlier when i arrived at work. the car has 7k miles on it and has been parked in a garage for past 6 months while i was deployed. there was no impact to cause the damage.

We have a 2018 honda cr-v touring and have recently had a critical problem with its collision mitigation braking system. on two occasions, the car has braked when nothing was in front of it. both instances happened at dusk/evening; however, the most recent experience was the most severe. i was accelerating on a road and going about 45 mph when i passed under an overpass/bridge. suddenly, as i was accelerating, the car braked and slowed from 45-50 mph down to 15-20 mph in about five seconds. the severe braking caused everything to fly off my seats, my seatbelt to lock, and gave me whiplash. luckily, there were no other cars around me; otherwise, i am sure i would have been rear-ended. i brought the car to my honda dealer and they said that the sensor may have detected the shadow from the bridge or perhaps rain drops on the road. i asked if this was a known issue and they said other dealers have reported similar cases. the only solution is to disengage the system every time we start the car. currently, honda does not offer another solution.

My 2018 honda cr -v 1,5 has a issue with gas getting in the oil, i did take to the honda dealer and they performed the recall at 12913 miles to fix this issue, at 14830 miles i checked the oil in the 1917 miles since recall performed oil became about a quart more so oil is deluded with gas still a issue after honda recall , i called honda and they said just take it to the dealer for a oil change , i can not pay $75 plus every 2k miles for a oil change , honda does not have a solution or acts like they even think this is a big issue

2018 honda crv exl. consumer writes with concerns to a oil dilution problem with newly purchased vehicle. *as *tr

Engine oil appears to be diluted even after honda's fix. heater works poorly even after fix.

Passenger side airbag indicator light does not go off at times even when someone over 65lbs is sitting in the seat. we have taken the vehicle to two different dealers and they can't find anything wrong with the system. this is a dangerous situation

Have a 2018 honda crv with the 2.4l engine, i keep getting a gas/ exhuast smell inside the passenger cab while it is idling (statioary) and fuel smell in engine oil. took it to the dealer they said they were unable to duplicate customers concern and thos motor does not have a recall on it. mybe it should. the promblem just happened again, i am going to take it in again. this is my family car, this should not be happening it is supposed to be safe. if my county l live in, had emission testing, it probably wouldn't pass, the tail pipe has black carbon on it.

Driving in the highway engine light came on. after a few mintues all the warning lights came on and the engine started to slowing down. got towed and the dealership told me i have a multiple misfire and the engine oil is over the recommended oil in the dipstick, and it smells mixed with fuel. they just change the oil and didnt fix the software

Engine oil become dirty and gas smelling within 500 miles after first oil change at 5,000 mls. suspect fuel dilution in my 1.5 turbo 3 cyl. engine. oil quantity not showing over full as yet.

During cold weather operation on 01/30/2019 after ~10-15 minutes of driving (and after the engine temperature gauge indicated a warmed up engine) i experienced engine sputtering when accelerating from a stop sign in a residential area. the engine "skipped" once below 10mph which felt like a bad shift (but it has a cvt) and then once reaching ~17mph, the engine repeatedly sputtered preventing further acceleration; the check engine light began flashing while the sputtering was occurring. i was able to limp the vehicle an additional ~.1 miles to my driveway. after turning the car off, i was able to restart the engine with no engine light on, but had the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership for further evaluation.

Takata recall the oil level in my honda extremely raised higher the max. bar, and it smells gas. i’m scared to drive my car on highway becaus i don’t know what can happen if the oil will leak or the car will just suddenly stope. please address this issues to honda. thank you

Sometimes would need repeated attempt to start. vehicle stalled, most often while moving slowly, but once while driving between 30 & 40 mph. no codes showed according to clawsen honda. honda performed an software update for pcm & tcm (1/18/19). vehicle stalled once since service 10 days later. 1st incident at 72mi odom

The active safety and driver assist systems randomly switch themselves on and off while in motion and are unreliable. this has happened at both high and low speeds. it has happen in normal driving weather conditions and cold with snow flurries. this vehicle fails to warm to to "normal" operating tempers especial on mn cold days. it may not warm up period on days where the temperature fall to 15 degrees or lower. on days of 50 degrees or less it warms up when driving highway speeds but in low speed situations it may not warm up at all. there is the distinct smell of gasoline in the car at times. additionally this vehicle appears to have an oil dilution problem as the oil level registers above the max oil level line on a regular basis. in my mind these are all safety issues. i wonder if the safety systems will actually work if and when i need them. i wonder if this car is going to burst into flames as i can small gasoline in the cabin. if i smelled gas in me house they recommend i leave the premises. i can't really do with i am driving down the road. i do have a few pictures of some of the electronic warning and temp gauge but cannot download from this location. i am listing here the first incidence but know there are a few incidences.

Purchased the 2018 honda cr-v ex-l new from pearson honda, midlothian va. 23112. shortly after the purchase i noticed the odor of gas inside the vehicle. during december 2018, i called the dealer complaining that there was a strong odor of gas in the engine oil. i was advised to bring the vehicle in and they offered to change the oil free of charge. i researched on the internet and discovered that honda knew about this engine defect during 2017 and still installed the defected engines in the 2018 cr-v. honda has issued a recall to correct the problem, but not for vehicles registered in va. i contacted the dealer and was advised to keep bringing in the vehicle after a short period of time for additional free oil changes. this is not acceptable and any assistance from you will be greatly appreciated. second issue: while traveling on the interstate at speeds over 50mph without warning the vehicle would brake very hard, usually as a second vehicle is being over taken in the right lane. i reported this situation to the dealer and was advised the sensors are just very sensitive. this is a sporadic problem.

Sport honda confirmed that gasoline is mixed in with oil...the oil stick has very black oil up high on the stick. on several ocsasions in jan 2019 a strong chemical smell appeared in the car cabin... the gas mileage dropped abruptly at this time by 12% the honda dealer has know about this problem since early morning jan 31,2019 and has not returned my 2 phone calls. the strong smell only occured while driving.

The engine is diluted with gas. when i check the oil level in a cold morning, the oil level is 2 inches above the max oil level on the dipstick. i called honda help line, and they refuse to acknowledge the problem. there are known tsbs for our car, and they refuse to apply the tsbs to my car because they are rolling out the fix to other states first.

The car began stalling and would not drive over 10 mph. smelled terribly and all warning lights went off. only 2,768 miles.

Cmbs system not working from day of purchase 5/14/18. although not operative during test drives 2 dealers stated nothing they could do.

Problem with gasoline mixing in with the engine oil. took to dealer for recall and problem is worse. dealer advised to file a complaint with honda corp and the nhtsa.

Driving in winter conditions. car lost power. engine light came on. was able to coast about a quarter mile to a safe place on the side of the road. by the time i parked the car smoke was coming out of the front and back of the vehicle. there was a strong smell like something burning. when i restarted the car to get heat while waiting for roadside assistance the dash lights were flashing and multiple system failure messages. car unable to drive over bout 5 miles per hour. had to tow to dealership.

Gas leaking into the engines oil, causing oil level to rise, strong smell of gas around car concern about the possibility of fire.

I'm having two issues with my cr-v 1) engine oil level is showing more than the higher limit because of engine oil dilution. 2) gasoline smell in the cabin. i contacted honda on these issues but they said my vehicle doesn't have any recall notice and there is nothing they can do.

The heat in the 2018 crv does not operate safely during average winter temperatures (north dakota). when it is actually cold outside, below zero degrees fahrenheit, the heat is non existent causing a terrible problem with defrosting windows. i brought the vehicle to the dealer for resolution. they stated that it was a known issue with this model engine and there was no fix in place from honda. i proceeded with an incident with american honda which the customer representative stated that this was an unknown issue even though the dealer and many car forums say otherwise. i guess now i wait for resolution, trade the vehicle, or crash as my windshield fogs up driving down the road.

Problem with gasoline getting into engine oil and turning oil dark brown. engine 1.5-liter turbo. research shows that gasoline in the engine oil raises the oil level, and triggers a terrible smell and brings into question the prospect of long-term damage caused by the oil's inability to properly protest the engine. bought car new feb 1, 2018. aug. 8, 2018 first dealer scheduled oil change mileage 6,532 maintenance indicator 15%. at change oil checked out at full and clear. checked oil in early nov and found the clear oil was now over the full mark by half inch and had turned dark brown. on internet found other car owners were having the same problem. had oil changed before normal maintenance schedule because of oil problem. jan 31, 2019 maintenance indicator was at 30% and dark brown oil was half inch over full on dipstick. mileage at 12,005 miles. average driving 1000 miles a month. mostly open highway driving. dealer said that honda had a fix but fix did not apply to the state of north carolina because it was not a cold weather state. engine get up and go has gotten worse the last couple of months.

On 2019-01-25 at about 12:25pm i experienced a loss of engine power while accelerating to merge with traffic. coming from a full stop i turned right onto a merge lane and depressed the accelerator. car sped up then suddenly lost rpms. i made it to 45mph and, fortunately, had enough time to merge. if i had started one or two seconds later, i would've had to panic-brake in the merge lane instead of merging. this was disconcerting. car had been driven for 10 minutes earlier that morning; i had then done a quick shopping trip and had resumed driving. outside air temperature was in the 30s. car is regularly driven short distances in our small town. oil level, measured at dipstick with car level and engine cold, is well past the high mark.

Smell of gas every time i enter the vehicle after a few hours gap. especially overnight.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the headrest tilted inwardly to the point that the contact had to receive medical treatment for her neck. the headrest also affected the contact while driving. ocean honda of whittier (13839 whittier blvd, whittier, ca 90605, (562) 280-2838) attempted to get the contact to purchase another vehicle; however, the contact did not qualify for a new loan. the contact was referred to the manufacturer who stated that the contact turned the headrest the wrong way. the manufacturer denied the contact's request to have an engineer inspect the vehicle. the failure mileage was 2,500.

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.

Sone how gas is getting the oil. i left vehicle run at idle for 15 minutes in driveway temp gauge does not move. if i drive vehicle the temp gauge goes up but stop for a few minutes and temp gauge starts dropping again. very strong oder of gasoline in side vehicle when stopped at red light or parked for a few minutes. you have to put windows down it smells so bad. honda is aware of all these issues and does not want to own up to any of them! my vehicle is suppose to get fixed friday morning. 1-11-19 but according to the internet the fix honda is doing does absolutely nothing. do people have to die before honda is forced to do something? it is all honda crv vehicles and some other models from 2017 and 2018.

Tl* the contact owned a 2018 honda cr-v. while the contact's son was driving 30 mph, he made a right turn and the wheels seized. the vehicle struck a guardrail head on and all the air bags deployed. a police report was filed. there were no injuries. the vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. the vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. the dealer informed the consumer doesn't access vehicle crashes or investigations. the failure mileage was approximately 22,000. *bf *tr the consumer stated there was a steering recall for the same make and model but, this vehicle was not included. *js

My 2018 honda crv touring with 1.5l turbo engine had had a problem with the smell of fuel fumes in the interior cabin since the time of purchase. when you turn the air on with the air coming from the outside vent, especially when first starting the car, the smell of gasoline fumes is apparent, which is also a serious health safety concern as inhalation of fumes is definitely bad for your health. every time i check my oil level, the dipstick shows the oil is overfilled beyond what the dipstick measures and the oil smells heavily of gas. after researching this online, i found that there is a problem that many 5th generation crv owners are experiencing with the 1.5l turbo engine with too much gas getting into the oil and the smell of fumes in the cabin. this is what is causing my oil level to rise to unsafe levels that will accelerate the deterioration of expensive internal engine components. i contacted honda and they performed a technical service bulliten related to this issue on december 4th 2018, where a module related to the air conditioning was replaced along with the engine oil and some software upgrade was installed. this changed absolutely nothing. i still am experiencing the sickening smell of gasoline fumes in the cabin as well as the dipstick showing more oil than it can measure along with the smell of gas coming from the oil.

I live in new hampshire, a very cold climate. my honda cr-v ex has remote start. with every other car i have owned, you remote start the vehicle, it idles for 10-15 minutes and your car gets warm and the windshield defrosts. this vehicle does not do this. it remains cool, and the front windshield does not defrost. this is unacceptable in a cold weather climate. the engine has to be run on the highway for many miles (say 10-15) before the engine heats up enough to produce noticable heat. this is unsafe especially with the windshield. during a recent ice storm, i could not keep my windshield from building up ice because i could not get enough heat to the windshield even using the defrost setting and fans at full on.

When ever i drive my car in city and highway i smell gas or burn smell strong in cabin .i recently notice that my front headlight change into bright and hit the order car driver face directly in two way streets and nearly had accidents one times

Purchased 2018 honda new from boardwalk honda, nj. immediately gas was entering oil and gas odor was present. the dealer could not correct problem and stated honda was aware of problem and working on a repair. contacted by boardwalk honda and told they received repair info from honda. i took car in and the repair was completed. i received a recall notice after the repair was complete. the repair has not corrected the problem.

Purchased new honda cr-v 2018. oil has gasoline entering crankcase and an odor of gasoline is evident. honda sent recall and i had the recall work completed and it has not resolved the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while operating the vehicle, a fuel odor entered the vehicle. in addition, while checking the oil level, the odor of fuel was also present. the vehicle was taken to coconut point honda (22240 s. tamiami trl, estero, fl) and a product update was performed and the air conditioning control unit was replaced. the contact indicated that the oil continued to smell of fuel and the oil level was very high. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was unknown.

Brand new all wheel drive 2018 vehicle. it could not stop on snow road near 20mph even lower speed couple times! two times slipped over the traffic lights due to could not stop! scared to death!!!

After receiving honda tsb 18-124 from honda, which supposedly fixed the oil dilution issue issue, my cr-v problems have gotten worse! now, not only does the vehicle get a terrible smell of gasoline inside the cabin, (especially on initial start-up and while idling), but the vehicle has developed new problems. included among these are: - worse oil dilution (gas in the engine oil) . it rose by 1 quart in 2 weeks since getting the update (about 500 miles of driving) - a strong smell of gasoline in the oil and even around the exterior of the vehicle - worse gas mileage. a decline by several mpgs - colder cabin -- takes much longer to generate heat this is just wrong on a new vehicle and needs a proactive recall and further investigation asap. please do not believe honda … users are still experiencing these issues after their update.

1/8/2019 - smelled sulfur from exhaust. made appointment to bring the car in for the oil/gas recall repair. 1/16/2019 - recall repair. 1/19/2019 - smelled sulfur, this time in the car while driving. 1/20/2019 - twice, while idling, the engine knocked and felt like it was about to stall though it did not.

When you pull dipstick oil smells like gas, also strong odor of gas in cabin while driving! it makes me sick so you have to pull over sometimes on busy highway for smell to stop. you can open window while driving. i know it is software issue in honda computer, china and canada already recall 650.000 honda crvs heat doesn't work proper either, going from warm to cold really fast, took my 11 months old to honda they said is normal smell gas in oil. i have their official statement on paper. not sure why nothing is done. it has to be hard on engine all this gas in oil chamber.

I purchased this car june 2018. it was perfect. everything worked flawlessly. then january 3 i had a tsb performed on the car, now my mpg's have dropped by 10mpg. and i had no issue with heat before, and now i do. start the car, within 2 miles i have heat. 20 minutes into my journey, the center vents on the dash start blowing cold air. does not matter how much i turn up the heat dial, it continues to blow cold air from the center vents from that point in the trip forward. it's been taken to the dealership who called honda tech line and honda tech line claims this is normal. it is not normal and the car was not doing that prior this tsb being done on my car. even the dealership agrees with me it's not normal and something is wrong, but tech line told them to tell me nothing is wrong. this is wildly unacceptable and you need to step in. i am not the only one that honda is doing this to! in china a stop sale was forced by consumers because the crv is defective. why isn't the usa doing something to help us????

Oil dilution. the oil level in the crankcase continually rises due to gas seepage causing premature wear to the engine. ongoing since purchased vehicle new. the engine also never warms up to operating temperature unless your going highway speeds. this is highly unsatisfactory when around town.

The information screen for audio and climate controls go completely out and or function erratically. the function on the driving safety systems for anti brake and anti collision also function erratically. losing critical functions of the car while the car is still operating. i have video and more photos

Oil dilution, gasoline getting into crankcase

Bought a new 2018 cr-v ex turbo in september. they never told me they had issues with gas mixing with the oil. the maintenance for oil changes is 10,000 miles. i changed oil myself at 6,000 miles and again at 16,000 by the dealer the second week in december. at that time the dealer said there was a recall for a/c computer. they still didn’t explain what it will repair. then i received a letter about the same a/c computer. so, i just happened to look online january 6th for recalls and found that a lot of cr-v’s have gas mixing with the oil. since i just had my oil changed by the dealer i thought i should check to see if mine has mixed. my oil was 1/2” past full. i called the dealer they informed me that the part will be in january 10th. so i made an appointment for that day. unfortunately, what damage has already been done? i feel i was set up when purchasing this vehicle. they tell me the a/c recall will fix this problem. i’ll sure be keeping an eye on my oil after the repair.

The seat belt latches for the rear middle and rear drivers side seat have a huge safety problem. the strap for the rear center seat comes down from the roof and attaches beside the rear drivers seat latch. when you pull the belt over to secure the center seat belt it covers the drivers seat belt latch. i understand the 2017 crv has the same problem.

2018 honda cr-v bought new, only has 475 miles and getting collision mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist problem warning lights are on and we cannot set the adaptive cruise control or use any of these safety features. i've found a blog that has many instances of the same problems and worse to include brake failure. we are taking it to the dealer, brandon honda, brandon fl tomorrow. this should not happen on a brand new car.

Oil is diluted with gasoline. oil volume was a quart overfull. it was stationary.

Contacted honda regarding brand new 2018 honda crv voyager regarding oil dilution. the company says that the gas smell on the vehicles oil dip stick is "normal." they also stated that if the oil level is too high an interior light or engine noise would indicate an issue. meaning that the oil level is arbitrary.

Oil is being diluted by blow-by gas from combustion chambers.

Gas is getting into the oil and the engine does not heat up until many miles of driving in 40 degree temperatures, dip stick is showing over full all the time and still no fix

There is a strong gas smell in the cabin and around the car. the smell is most noticeable when idling and after parking. duration of the trip does not seem to be a factor, nor the street type.

At approximately 5000 miles i changed the oil in our 2018 cr-v (for the first time) and realized there was approximately 1.5 quarts too much oil (it wasn't all oil, gasoline had diluted the oil). we have an appointment today at the honda dealer in grand island, ne to have them 'install updated injector software and something concerning the a/c regulator (they said).

Oil dilution, over full oil mark, engine oil leak noticed when stationary. gas smell inside vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed that fuel was mixing with the engine oil. there was also a loss of power and brake functionality as various warning indicators and gauges flashed on the instrument panel. the vehicle was towed to southeastern honda (3125 us-1, palm bay, fl 32905, (321) 984-4224), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. a loaner vehicle was not offered. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted, but was closed for the holidays. the contact planned to call back. the approximate failure mileage was 3,800.

Oil level over maximum

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed a fuel odor coming from the oil dipstick. the vehicle was taken to lee's summit honda (401 ne colbern rd, lee's summit, mo 64086. 816-251-8700) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed to be reprogrammed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 09225423. the contact was referred to nhtsa. the failure mileage was approximately 22,300.

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

Gasoline is getting into the oil. symptoms are a gas smell in the cabin and the level on the dipstick is above the top fill level. this condition can cause the vehicle to stop running causing a dangerous condition. honda is repairing cars in cold weather states only. a tsb was issued in october 22, 2018. why aren’t they repairing all of the vehicles with this problem? i had the oil changed on my car and the oil level was 1/2 over the fill mark.

October 2018 we took our new c rv on a trip to nashville, tn from traverse city, mi. the check engine light came on and the oil can icon lit up. i called the honda dealer where i bought the c rv from and they had no idea what was going on. i got out and checked the oil and found it high. i brought the honda to a quick lube to check it. they changed the oil then sent me on my way. after arriving back home tc a few weeks later we got a recall letter from honda. on wednesday, december 26th, williams honda in tc did the recall work. on thursday my wife got in the vehicle to go shopping and the heater would not work. she called the honda dealer and brought the honda to them. they said that they did not cause the heater to not work with the recall repair. after doing something, the heater began to work again. this is very worrisome, we are not sure what to do next. on an earlier occasion our new cr-v would not start as after only 30 minutes of sitting the battery was dead. the honda dealer told us you can't leave any lights on as the battery wont last very long.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that fuel was leaking into the oil. team honda (4613 e lincoln hwy, merrillville, in 46410, (219) 947-3900) scheduled an appointment for january 4, 2018 to provide a software update. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 7,800.

Our 2018 honda crv touring has the oil dilution problem. our oil level increased about 3/4 inch on the oil stick from may, 2018 to december, 2018 and it smells like gas. we have also smelled gas inside our car. honda is fixing some cars, but we live in arkansas and our state is not on the list to be repaired. we could have an engine fire so feel it is not safe to drive. also, the engine will wear out a lot faster with the dilution....even though the honda dealer said it won't!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving the vehicle, the contact noticed an abnormal odor of fuel in the engine oil. additionally, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle idled. the vehicle was taken to bobby rahal honda of state college (located at 2796 w college ave, state college, pa 16801, (814) 552-1352) where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be updated. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 6,989.

Abnormal oil dilution causing excessive wear and tear on the engine. car talking long time to warm up. not running smoothly. foul smell of gas in the cabin

I bought a 2018 honda cr-v (1.5l turbo engine) in august. it only has 1700 miles, but so far it has stalled on me 3 times (while driving). the first 2 times, i was under 25 mph and it started stalling. several lights were flashing on the dashboard cautioning engine failure, brake failure, tire pressure failure, etc. the car was making pinging noises while these lights were flashing and it wouldn't drive any longer. i had no choice but to pull over to the side of the road and wait for a tow truck to take me to the dealership. the 3rd time this happened, i was going almost 40mph and it stalled again (same as before). the car was also shaking and stuttering while simply sitting idle. honda said that the crank shaft sensor (cpk) was defective and replaced it...however, that did not fix the problem. when i asked honda if this stalling issue was related to articles describing the ongoing problems with this make/model (in recent years), they refused to acknowledge it and said they couldn't comment because it wasn't a "honda article". i'm sure i'm not the only customer that has come to the dealership with this problem...yet, they refuse to address that it's a serious problem. they also have not declared a recall. this is a serious life-threatening safety hazard. when the car stalled, i wasn't on the expressway, but on local roads; however, i don't feel safe driving this car anymore. i have no idea when it's going to stall again. honda has given no assurances that they know what the problem is or can even fix it.

Gas is entering and raising engine crankcase oil levels. concerned that software updates made by dealer will solve this issue. worried about long term engine reliability. honda should extend engine warranty coverage to protect us down the road.

Engine oil was diluted with gasoline, causing possible motor damage. dealer redid a fuel mapping, and made it so teh fan cannot blow until the car is fully warmed. this wont correct the issue. these direct injected motors let gasoline past the rings when cold, and if the car is cold frequently, the gasoline will not vaporize form the oil. if left unchecked, the increased volume of liquid can cause the car to lsoe power and shut off at any time, causing a safety risk. i live in texas, so it doesn't get exceptionally cold, but this happened on a brand new car with less than 2500 miles on it at the time. internet searches show thousands of people having the same issue. a recall should be forced to correct these issues, and keep people safe.

With all the buzz on internet and also c.r.about gas mixing with oil, i bought a 2018 crv with the 1.5 turbo engine, i checked my oil it was passed the full mark and smelled of gas.i took the oil cap off it also had a smell of gas.so most of us know this is not a good thing, long story short received a letter in the mail advising to set a appointment for a "fix" i hope this works here in ohio.my appointment is for 1-7-2019,although sounds like a it doesn't work from comments people have made after they took their cars in. please help!

Gasoline in the oil!

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that oil was mixing with the fuel and all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle could not be driven and had to be towed to krenzen honda (4160 haines rd, duluth, mn 55811, (218) 724-6632) where it was diagnosed and partially repaired. a system update and oil change was performed on the vehicle. the manufacturer was notified and provided a case number. the contact was informed to call the manufacturer again, if the failure continued. the failure mileage was 7,700. *tt consumer stated first time car started smoking and the engine was disabled. second time car smelled of fuel. vehicle purchase date should be on or before incident date *jb

Engine oil becomes overfilled with gasoline. it is visible when checking the oil level on the dip stick. also the dipstick smells of gasoline.

Engine oil contaminated by gasoline. strong smell of gasoline in oil and cabin. oil has the viscosity of water. nhtsa needs to step up and do its job and force honda to recall this vehicle. called honda customer service and asked if the tested crv engine and all i received was silence over the phone. my engine has been compromised as i drove 12,000 miles so far. if nhtsa does not do its job in recalling this vehicle everyone there should be fired. i hope someone there of any authority reads this complaint. again nhtsa do your job.

Honda gas in oil. when in for their recall. oil was changed and a/c module replaced. i never checked the oil for gas but feel this problem must cause some engine damage. would like to see a formal recall with proper corrective action. dealer seemed evasive when asked to explain the problem, no big deal just gas in the oil.

Gasoline smell in oil,also occasionally gasoline smell in the cabin when turn on the heat.

On 12/21/18, i went to start the vehicle and it started flashing all kinds of alerts on the dashboard. the car would not start. door locks, tailgate would not close via remote or or by pressing the buttons for these functions. no indication that the lights were left on. 2 hours prior the car started without issue. tow was requested. tow truck driver gave the battery a jumpstart and told me to leave the car running for 30 minutes while the system reset. the system did not reset. dashboard alerts for tpms problem, brake system problem, brake hold problem and vehicle stability assistance problem continued to flash. the vehicle was parked at home in driveway from the previous evening. we moved it forward two hours prior to allow space to roll out or trash cans for garbage collection. the vehicle was purchase on july 30th 2018 and has 8322 miles on it. never expected to have an issue of this sort with a brand new vehicle. grateful that it shutdown at home rather than on the highway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the heater failed to defrost the windshield. the contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor on the oil dipstick. the contact stated that the vehicle had to be driven before the vehicle warmed up. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to mclarty honda (10 colonel glenn ct, little rock, ar, (501) 482-5326) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle performed as designed; however, the oil was changed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 09213798. the failure mileage was 4,500. the vin was unknown.

Extra oil in the engine; during the previous oil change i followed the oem's recommendation and added the proper amount of oil to the engine (3.5l or 3.7qt). however, when i did the last oil change i drained 5qts of oil out of the engine, how is this possible?

I have the 2018 touring 1.5l turbo charged model. i am experiencing the fuel in oil issue and honda says nevada is not included in the update. i purchased this car brand new and want it fixed. i drive in a very cold climate on short trips, which is when they say the issue is occurring in this models.

Oil diluted with gasoline

I can smell gas in the car, but i don't see a leak. happens when the car is cold.

The tire pressure monitoring system in this car is a "passive" system. that means there are no sensors or transmitters in the tires but rather, they use the abs sensors to measure relative wheel speed and since a low tire will have a smaller diameter, it will rotate faster and honda believes they can measure relative tire pressure with this system. i believe this idea is fundamentally flawed.: my first example: i had a tire go flat while driving on a freeway. it wasn't a blow-out, just a tire that went flat while driving. the "tpms" system never warned of the low tire and the tire was actually ruined and needed to be replaced.. that led to my second reason... the tire store replaced the tire with an identical size but different manufacturer's tire. that resulted in multiple periodic warnings of "tire pressure monitor system problem". taking the car to the dealer resulted in them telling me that any replacement tire had to be exactly the same as originally came on the car and i might need to replace two, and possibly all four tires.. this seems completely unreasonable on a car with less than 10,000 miles on the tires! it is my belief that the tpms should monitor tire pressure... not make, model and tread pattern as the dealer told me. lastly, i got in the car for a drive a few day ago and after driving down my driveway, heard a noise and stopped to investigate.... another flat tire and no warning whatsoever. a system operating as poorly as this one is less than useless because if i had no system, i wouldn't expect to be notified of a low tire and wouldn't depend on the system. what about a tire going flat over night? no warning before driving! i would submit the failure of the system to notify the driver of a low tire in two, very obvious scenarios is a significant safety risk and should definitely be addressed by the manufacturer.

Stationary:gas intrusion into oil. dipstick reeks of gas. oil viscosity appears watery. strong gas smell in garage after parking (heated garage) - takes 6-8 hrs to dissipate smell driving and stationary: strong gas smell into driver/front passenger area, outside perimeter of car and under hood - smell appears to come into cabin with heater on through vents. windows have to be rolled down and heater off to get rid of smell - my eyes water, throat becomes tight and nose starts stinging immediately - headaches start after approximately 30 minutes of driving and continue for 4-5 hrs as do the other symptoms this cabin/under hood gas smell has happened with outside temps from 28-60 degrees. gas smell is more concentrated after driving and parking the car and then turning off engine and returning to car to start engine within 10 minutes to 4 hrs - it literally makes me nauseous and dizzy. this happens whether car is in garage, driving on city street or highway. has become worse the past 6 weeks (car was purchased new in june 2018) from honda dealer in central illinois. it currently has 2500 miles on odometer what about a fire under hood from excess fuel not being burned off? i am concerned about my health and emissions have driven many types of cars for over 50 yrs and never had these gas intrusion issues or oil intrusion from fuel what happens when i need to "air car out" because of smell and it's raining or snowing? the potential for engine damage in concerning - example: how does gas mixed with oil, lubricate an engine and its related components properly? why is there excess build up of fuel in oil pan? why am i subjected to the noxious, hideous, and sickening gas smell in cabin? therefore, i would expect at a minimum extended drive train/engine warranty to 6 yrs from honda which was granted in canada and want gas smell eliminated

Gasoline mixing with engine oil,oil level rising above full mark diluting engine oil.will possibly cause pre mature engine damage.smell of gasoline in oil.honda is claiming this is normal..this is not normal!

I have been getting a strong gas odor inside the car and the oil level was above the full mark,smelled strong of gas and was a dark color for being brand new with 3,000 miles. i brought to the dealer and they installed campaign recall #18-114 that included software update and a a/c control. i drove car 5 days and while driving on a busy road the car filled with gas fumes that was overwhelming i had to put all windows down and pull over to air the vehicle out and make sure it wasnt going to be a fire hazzard.i have reported issue to honda factory and will be going to the dealer 12/19/18 to adress the issue again

Oil level over full. and strong fuel smell it the oil. my garage smells strongly of gas also. i took it to the dealership in octobet and they said that it was a known problem and a fix was comming soon? nothing yet? why would they sell vehicles with knowledge of a serious motor problem?

My cr-v 2018 doesn't run smooth and the engine is noisey but the big problem happened 12/08/18 when i parked the car to unload groceries when one hour later i went to start it the cabin filled with the strong smell of gasoline. i spoke to my mechanic who told me not to drive and have the dealership pick it up.

The car began to run rough when i was returning from a long trip. when i turned the car off, then back on, every alarm was going off. i had it towed to the dealership and was told that the garage that had changed my oil put the wrong oil in. this was a lie on the dealerships part as they had no evidence to prove their assertion. i believe i have one of those crvs with the engine problems that people are talking about. my honda has the turbo-4 cylinder motor. i found out about these engine issues over the summer but when i my car was towed to honda, after thanksgiving, they acted like the never heard about the problem.

Engine oil contamination by incomplete combustion of gasoline in cylinder. volume of oil becomes over full. produces "gasoline smell" and diminishes the efficiacy of engine oil lubrication.

The oil level is way above the full line on dip stick. i will be taking it to the dealer for the first oil change next week. i hope they have a remedy for this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the fuel in the vehicle was not burning, which caused fuel to seep down to the oil. the dealer (tom scott honda, 603 11th ave n., nampa, id 83687) stated that they could not assist until a recall for the failure was issued. the manufacturer was also contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 400.

I purchased my cr-v in february 2018. i completed my first oil change at 6804 miles in december. the oil was very dark(black), watery, and smelled strongly of fuel. issues with vehicle are causing an oil dilution problem. i live in southern california but at an elevation of 6800 feet. my commute is short and it gets cold at night. the cr-v is stored in a heated garage during the night. i feel this problem has caused unnecessary wear to my engine and at this time honda is only going to diagnose my problem but not fix it on first visit. they should be issuing a recall and not make its customers jump through hoops to fix a problem they’re already well aware of

Oil dilution causing elevated engine oil levels and camshaft pinging noise. also smell of gas in oil and engine takes extended time to warm up. initially, slight pinging noise (~5k miles) which became progressively worse.

Engine oil needed to be changed for first time since information was prompted on dash board. after checking the oil level it was detected that oil level is higher than normal required level. oil level is above orange measuring scale and is 1/8 of an inch on metal dipstick. oil smell on gasoline and there is significant amount of gasoline in engine oil. also, oil seems to be deluted. oil level was ckecked when engine was cold and hot. the result was always the same. oil level is too high.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 40 mph at night, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate intermittently. when the failure occurred, the vehicle had to be turned off and restarted for the instrument panel to illuminate again. the vehicle was taken to autofair honda (200 keller st, manchester, nh 03103, (603) 471-3990) and the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be diagnosed unless the failure occurred while at the dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 3,000.

3-month-old 2018 cr-v ex-l - noticed oil dilution problems within first 2 months. dealer has been unresponsive. gas has been getting into oil in apparently significant amounts. persistent smells of gas and 'rotten eggs/meat' while operating. oil level gets higher above measuring section of dipstick every time i check, smells of gas. car begins to stall a bit occasionally. had oil changed at 5k miles - tech confirmed oil was very thin, higher volume than should be, and smelled of gas. very concerned about safety now (what if it stalls while in heavy highway traffic?) and also long-term engine damage since diluted oil will not lubricate as well. researched online only after discovering problem - apparently well known problem, and widespread - but barely acknowledged by honda.

Gas is leaking into the oil system thus overfilling it. i have checked my vehicles oil (less than 500 miles on my car) and the oil line was way passed full. this overfilling can cause premature damage to the engine, which according to experts can cause stalling at random times which poses an immediate threat to the driver and other vehicles on the road. the dealership from which i bought my vehicle did not inform me of this issue even though they know that it is a pressing issue. hence the reason the 2019 cr-v's have not yet been released.

Wife notices fuel smell while driving. oil was checked and i could visibly see the oil is cut with gasoline along with strong smell of gasoline on oil dipstick. oil is indefinitely contaminated with gasoline. first noticed on 12/10/18 and researched online finding that thousands of others have the same problem with 2017-2018 honda cr-v with the 1.5l turbo

Had oil changed by dealer. noticed smell inside vehicle after driving home. checked oil had smell of gasoline. oil level has increased since checked after service. according to honda information, car will shut itself down if oil level gets too high. if car dies on interstate, could very well cause an accident.

The vehicle exhibited minor pinging noise from engine and gas smell in cabin starting about september 2018. i called to have scheduled maintenance done as at about 5k miles. honda motorwerks of la crosse service rep said wait until notified. notification occurred and at same time i noticed louder ping. i schedule appt. at that appt on 12/19/2018 campaign recall: 18-114:6du00 was performed. i was assured the recall fix would address issue. it did not as pinging remains. another appt today 12/20/2018 to look at noise again and lower oil level as was overfilled yesterday by honda dealership. i request that nhtsa direct honda to provide adequate resolution for these issue due to the safety issue(gas smell in cab, extensive gas in oil reservoir) and address damage done to vehicle due to compromised oil lubrication (cam pinging per recall documentation). please help us cr-v owners. *tr

Lots of gasoline in my oil. oil level starting climbing at onset of cold weather here in louisiana ( it had been stable at full line before weather got cold). my wife drives this vehicle 15 miles to work one way 5 days per week. smell of gasoline kept getting stronger and oil level rising slightly each saturday morning when i checked my oil (after weather got cold). i showed dealership service advisor (at 50% oil life) who agreed that the oil smelled like gasoline & level was too high and then he ignored my request to document the issue. i check oil level each saturday morning (as well as tire pressure on all my vehicles). once i got home from dealership oil change and realized that there was no complaint of gasoline in oil in my paperwork i called honda usa and complained they then gave me a case number.

The cruise control is hypervariable - when combined with a lane warning system, it dropped us out of cruise (at 70mph) when passing a large truck in the right lane. very unsafe to be all of a sudden in the left lane slowing down when we we trying to speed past the 18-wheeler. dealer said the 'sensitivity' of the lane warning system 'caught the truck creeping close' to the line -- we didn't see that at all. also, the lane warning system is quite intermittent - only about 2 out of 5 times does the right hand warning signal something (like drifting near a shoulder) as designed.

I was first in line in the left lane on a cross over to a one way street that goes from right to left. i was at a stop waiting for a time i could turn and try to get over 4 lanes of traffic. there are 4 lanes on the one way street which is m-59 also know as hall road and i was going to have to go fast as i was going to have to first get in the far left lane and then cross over the other 3 lanes to the right and exit at a drive to where i was trying to get to. i knew it was going to take maximum acceleration and a deft touch to get over there safely. as i tried to do this and as i made my first move into the left lane, my car hesitated and did not give me the full acceleration i was expecting. this caused all the timing i needed to make this maneuver safely go out the window and put me in a precarious situation. i had to make in my opinion a very dangerous movement to the right to avoid a car that was closing in fast from behind because i could not get the speed up. this is the first time this has happened on this car. i was able to get where i wanted to go but now have no confidence in the reliability of trying to make this maneuver again.

Hi nhtsa my complain is about my honda cr-v 2018 i have a issue with oil diluted i do my oil change about 2000 miles ago when the car was 2500 mile almost new now my car has 4153 miles but to day i check my oil stick and i see is overfilled and the oil is very dark also after did the oil change by the honda dealer i check the oil and was dark and i say how is possible if i do oil change few minutes ago, today december 8 2018 i was in honda if danbury dealer and the guys they don’t know about these issue they only say can do the oil change i really worry about it

Raised engine oil level and smell of gas inside the car when driven on cold morning for a short trip and sometimes on longer trips too.

I really started thinking about an incident from two days ago, when i received a "vague" 2018 honda crv recall notice on my car for an a/c control unit replacement, etc. today. that notice prompted me to begin searching online for anyone documenting "spontaneous braking." i did find several that would say exactly what i would have said in their place. in other words, braking hard enough to an abrupt stop that if someone had been behind me i would have been rear ended. things were thrown from the seats to the floor when i was going quite slowly (on this neighborhood side street).coming up on an area where a large steel sheet had been placed by sewer workers over an opening in the lane i was in. i was so shocked that i lowered my passenger window to call out to two of the workers that, "i didn't do it, the car did." yesterday i went back to that same location to examine exactly how the spot appeared. it definitely looked like the type of road condition that a kid's tricycle is built to easily pass over. i purchased this car on 9/28/2018. in the recall notice, they referred to: what is the product update issue--following that it says--. . .there are reports of vehicles experiencing drivability concerns. these concerns can result in the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) turning on. oh! really! just a "concern"? i'm hoping to find out more about this, and have it fixed, before i, or someone like me, become a statistic. i don't think of an a/c issue as having anything to do with “drivability.”

On two different occasions while driving on the freeway, with no vehicles in the vicinity, my car abruptly applied the brake system. i didn't think to make note of the speed or date when it happened the first time, but i did make note of the second occurrence. during both occurrences, econ mode was turned off. speed was 58 mph as i had merged over to the right to an exit lane. i did check online for any recalls for my vin and/or the make and model of my vehicle. no recalls were on record. i also checked different forums and found a couple complaints within the last month. i just purchased this vehicle from the honda dealership 3 months ago.

Oil level rising due to fuel dilution

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed a strong fuel odor in the vehicle while driving. the vehicle was taken to roberts honda (located at 19 park ln, downingtown, pa 19335, (610) 269-8200) where it was diagnosed that the engine oil was being diluted by fuel in the engine, which caused the odor in the vehicle. the contact was informed that the engine should be replaced to alleviate the fuel odor. the contact stated that the odor became more prevalent in the cabin after the oil change was completed. the manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 09039894. the approximate failure mileage was 3,000.

Car stalls when going up parking ramp, car dies at intersection, car does not sence objects when in reverse, a blue line appears when raining and i reverse obstruction view, electronics freeze and unable to use touch screen...usually happens when raining creating a safety hazard. brakes failed (pedal froze) in reverse. salesman said to let it happen several more times before making a service appointment. the car has been a problem ever since i got it earlier this year...there is only 4,000 miles on it and so far, they changed the battery...explanation i was given is that honda has bad batteries. this after changing oil one week prior and service report indicated good battery. one week after servicing, the car died and had to be towed. the service people at honda said it was all due to a bad battery. brakes failed due to bad battery???? still having problems, car is stalling, panel freezes, sensors don't work...salesman said no loaners available and if you wanted a loaner when you service car, should have bought a lexus or bmw. this after i described all the problems. really unhappy with this car. i believe it's a major safety issue. .brakes failed, panel freezes, car stalls...help!!!!! note this happened as recently as 10/5/18 but really it happened several times since i've had this car. i had it towed once when a light flashed, "brake failure" and i was unable to start the car. the battery was changed - this was in august of 2018.

The brakes failed when in reverse. the reverse sensors do not detect movement, the car does at intersections. a blue vertical line appears when the car is in reverse. the panel freezes...all this happened when the car was in motion.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while operating the vehicle, the odor of fuel was present inside the vehicle and the check oil indicator illuminated. upon inspection, it was discovered that the oil dip stick reading was extremely high and the odor of fuel was also present in the oil. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sierra honda, 1450 s. shamrock ave, monrovia, ca) and it was confirmed that the odor of fuel was present in the oil and the oil dip stick reading was excessively high. the dealer also noticed that the oil color had darkened. the contact was informed that the manufacturer was aware of the failure, but no repair was presently available. the oil was changed and the fuel odor was no longer present; however, approximately one month later, the fuel odor returned and the oil dip stick indicated that the oil level was very high. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 4,100.

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.

At around 7200 miles i checked the oil and found it to be above the full line. the oil was very thin and had the distinct smell of gas. after short drives at lower speeds, the passenger compartment smells of gas. i don't smell gas in the passenger compartment when traveling long distances at high speeds.

There is gas in the oil. dashboard controls are shutting off , a strong smell of gas i. cabin.remote start wont work

Gasoline in lubrication oil in 1.5 liter turbo charged engine. vehicle stationary in garage. 6,000 miles on car. checked oil level with engine completely cold. level on dip stick was half again as high as the "high" level mark. fluid on dip stick smelled strongly of gasoline. did this in response to recent articles about this problem. have called dealer who said 'bring the car in and we will check it and then decide if anything needs to be done". i will report results of upcoming meeting with dealer. this situation cannot be good for the car.

When the vehicle is in motion at low speeds on inclined roads the engine is in a state where it is stalling over and over again. i have to accelerate harder to prevent the engine from completely stalling out. this is also followed by a smell of gas in the passenger compartment of the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed a strong odor of fuel near the area of the crank case. there was also an internal leak that caused fuel to enter the oil. the dealer (chapman honda tucson, 4426 e 22nd st, tucson, az 85711, (520) 445-4024) changed the oil, but the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

Please see the attached pdf for description of honda sensing system malfunctions. the problems typically happen when the vehicle is in motion. however, sensing system malfunctions have occurred when the vehicle is parked with the engine off/accessory mode on. the date of incident listed is the date vehicle was purchased, as this is an ongoing issue that started on day of purchase.

The mechanical design of the turn signal lever (joystick, as i call it) is such that it requires too little pressure in order to be pushed forward which activates the high beam headlights. in simple terms, using the turn signals turns on the high beams accidentally on this vehicle. this causes a couple safety issues. firstly, other drivers and oncoming traffic could be unnecessarily blinded by high beams if i have not noticed that my high beams have been accidentally turned on. secondly, it creates a situation where i (driver) have to spend more time looking at the instrument panel than is necessary. while driving at night, i either have to additionally glance at the instrument panel or take a longer glance while checking my speed in order to know if the high beams have been activated accidentally. turn signal joysticks have been around longer than i have, and we all know how to use them. they are simple, basic safety features and there seems no reason why a manufacturer should botch these at this point. date of incident listed date that i took possession of the vehicle, as this is ongoing issue.

The front windshield trim pieces on the exterior of the vehicle are designed such that there is a trough or channel that runs up the height of the windshield on both sides. the depth of the channel varies; being deeper at the bottom of the windshield and tapering down to less deep at the top of the windshield. when driving in the rain with the windshield wipers on, water is deposited into the driver’s side channel by the wiper when the wiper completes its upward stroke. there is no where for the water to go. as the wiper begins its downward stroke, the pooled water is pulled out from the channel and travels horizontally across the windshield. the result is that 2-3 inches of the left side of the windshield on the drivers side becomes unusable when driving in the rain. this actually makes quite a bit of difference in visibility on rainy days and seems unnecessary and unsafe. i attached a picture because this was hard to describe. the picture shows a standard mechanical pencil stuffed into the channel. i angled the pencil slightly for the picture so that it is visible, as the entire pencil fits into the channel.

Takata recall. i had sat through a red light at an intersection and the light gave me a green arrow. i was trying to make a left turn and the at fault driver ran the red light and hit me in the drivers door. my head hit the window and the airbag deployed as i was coming off the window. i was pinned between the window and the airbag. the airbag did not deflate until someone found a pocket knife to cut it so i could sit up. resulting injuries were to my head, neck, and ribs.

While driving home from local shopping center a strong smell of gas came in to the passenger cabin. it is a new honda cr-v with 475 miles at the time. when i got home, i checked the oiled, it smelled of gas.

With my smartphone connected to the audio/information screen (infotainment panel) via usb port in the center console for the use of ios maps for navigation, i received an incoming phone call. the volume of the ring through the vehicle speakers was so loud that my body instinctively and involuntarily removed my hands from the steering wheel to protect my ears by covering them. at that point, i had completely lost control of the moving vehicle! it created an extremely dangerous situation. after researching the problem later, i found that the volume of incoming calls is a function of the vehicle; not the smart phone when used in this fashion. the volume must be adjusted by use of the infotainment panel volume knob (or maybe steering wheel volume adjust?) while the call is incoming. to have the default incoming call setting at a volume level that would cause a driver’s hands to involuntarily cover their ears while in motion seems to be reckless endangerment. i was not advised verbally or in writing that this volume would need to be adjusted or that it could cause a hazardous condition. my hearing has never seemed overly sensitive to loud noise.

On 08-10-2018 after just getting onto the freeway on the way to a meeting, the audio/information screen (infotainment screen) went into malfunction. it was turning itself on and off, and beeping. there was no way to turn the screen off and no way to silence the beeping. the malfunction continued non-stop until the vehicle was turned off. this caused an extreme state of distracted-driver while on the freeway with many other automobiles around.

The design of the headlights incorporates separate (from lens) chrome trim pieces that are spear-like in shape. the pointed ends of the spears do not sit flush in the headlight lens and are protruding. this causes an unsafe condition every time the car is washed & dried, and when using a “duster” on the vehicle. wash mitts get stuck behind the spears which pull the spears out more, increasing the hazard to one’s hand. while i have not gotten any actual lacerations from these spears to date, on may 13, 2018 my hand received a “welt” from the spear. picture attached for reference.

I live in a temperate climate and use this vehicle predominantly for short, side street trips while the vehicle is in economy mode (econ button). when used solely in this manor for a period of months, the oil and exhaust have a strong stench of unburned gasoline. the fumes inside the cabin that build up in between vehicle uses can get very strong. so much so that on numerous occasions after getting into the car i felt dizzy, disoriented and sick to my stomach. a vehicle that can build up noxious fumes inside the cabin that make you disoriented and sick is not safe or healthy. if a driver is unaware that their state of mind has been altered by the fumes (dui?), it could lead to an accident or worse. not only should nhtsa open an safety investigation into this matter, but environmental impact and health studies should be conducted by the epa to ascertain what other hazards are at play here. date of incident and mileage listed is arbitrary, as this is an ongoing safety hazard.

On or about october 5th, after reading consumer reports article about fuel in the engine oil i went and smelled my 2018 honda cr-v's awd ex oil dip stick and smelled a very strong oder of fuel. on monday oct. 8th i called my honda dealership and they advised to schedule service for a check of the issue. on tuesday oct 9th i brought my cr-v in for scheduled service check, the following is the summary off the customer's copy of the invoice. "customer states there is a fuel smell mixed with oil states dipstick smell like fuel - check and advise advised customer this is a known issue and honda has yet to come up with a counter measure for issue at this time advised customer he will be notified when fix is available." i will repeat "this is a know issue and honda has yet to come up with counter measure for issue" i was verbally advised that my vehicle was reported to honda as having the "known issue", i was also advised that this issue honda believes is related to colder climates. i take that to mean honda is aware every cr-v with the 1.5 liter turbo engine (dream engine) has this issue but it only manifests itself in colder climates. also interesting is honda is waiting to ship the 2019 models until fix is available, but not taking 2018 models off the market because that would mean honda is recalling the vehicle.

When checking the oil dipstick with a 1.5l turbo engine, i noticed the oil smelled of gasoline and and is not the consistency of engine oil. i did this first after the car sat in the garage overnight and after driving on the highway for 25 minutes 2x in an attempt to “burn off” the gasoline with the end result being the same.

The vehicle smells of un burnt gasoline in the cabin and under the hood. i went to check the oil level and it appeared higher than normal and it smelled of gasoline. additionally, the dipstick had a odd solid residue on it. you can see it in the attached picture. we had brought the car to honda they had kept it for a few days, they acknowledged the issue, and stated they had no "fix" for it. this is a major concern considering this is a pretty much brand new vehicle, especially considering the fact that honda has noted concern for the vehicle randomly stalling.

Engine oil level is increasing and has an odor of gasoline. oil viscosity is very thin. vehicle is only six months old with just over 5000 miles after a recent oil change by the dealer, within 2 weeks the oil level had exceeded the "full" indicator. i took the vehicle back to the dealer and they checked it and agreed there was a problem. the repair document says "there is no fix for it yet, honda will come up with something". i have great concerns for engine damage and safety of operating the vehicle

Results of fuel leaking into engine oil .had engine oil analyzed at 3370 miles. it had fuel dilution of >8%. acceptable is no higher than 2.5%. slight gas smell in cabin. dipstick smelled of gas and oil level was higher than full level.this will damage engine. i was stopped at railroad crossing and heard a boom and car shook. unable to get statement from honda or dealer if car safe to drive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. when the contact checked the engine oil level, he found fuel mixed with the engine oil. the vehicle was taken to heritage honda bel air (1800 bel air road, fallston, md 21047, 410-343-5644) and the engine oil was replaced, but the dealer was unable to determine why fuel was mixed with the engine oil. the dealer stated that there was no remedy for the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the failure mileage was 100.

Oil mixing with gasoline-- addition to complaint # 11138878 -- please note that we bought the cr-v on 9/15/2017 and it had about 60 miles on it when we took delivery--that was 3 weeks ago-- the remaining miles up to the current mileage of 2100 have been almost all highway miles, being numerous trips of approximately 60-80 miles. our cr-v is in michigan but it is early fall and temperatures have been between 55 degrees and 80 degrees f. so it is not cold weather and it is not short trips. our oil is overfull by about 3/4 of a quart and it smells like gasoline. it is disheartening because we asked the salesman about the engine before buying and he told us no problems. but after we bought he said "change the oil every 5000 miles." by the way an oil change is going to be $60+ each time because of synthetic oil.

The engine oil is overfull and gasoline seems to be mixing with the oil. the oil is reading on the metal part of the dipstick, well above the normal range that is indicated on the plastic end of the dipstick. probably 3/4 of a quart overfull. the oil smells like gasoline. our cr-v is 3 weeks old with 2000 miles on it. original oil. we checked the oil while the engine was cold, in garage (flat) and had not been driven in about 18 hours.

Fuel is getting into the oil causing dilution. my oil level has increased as a result of that and it can cause the oil to loose viscosity which won't make the oil as effective on the engine and can cause long term engine damage. this is happening in southern california. i had to get my oil change early at less than 3500 miles because the smell of oil and oil level increase was bad.

Honda crv 2018 touring. gas leaking into engine oil. had engine oil analyzed at 3370 miles and the fuel dilution was >8%. this will cause major damage to engine. slight smell of gas in cabin. strong smell of gas at dipstick. oil on dipstick showed over fill line. when stopped at railroad crossing heard loud boom then car shook. waiting on response from honda and honda dealer service.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while the vehicle was being serviced at luther brookdale honda (6800 brooklyn blvd, brooklyn center, mn 55429, (612) 424-7830), the technician noticed a fuel odor on the oil dipstick. the contact was informed to change the oil. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 7,000.

2018 honda cr-v gas in the oil beware consumers .... i bought my 2018 honda cr-v in july.... after months of research on what the best small suv would be for me to have in my retirement. media articles raved about this automobile.... consumer reports chose it as their suv of the year .... it had this great 1.5 turbo engine that would get upwards of 27-33 mpg .... it was a complete package .... my dream retirement vehicle ....... the dealer told my husband and i that oil needs to be changed every 7000 miles or so .... my husband is a meticulous mechanic ... he checked the oil at 3000 miles and found it a quart high .... ( huummm... oil dies not increase .... and it reeked of gas..... gas in the oil? he started researching possible problems with the cr-v .... and things started to really sour.... usa honda has apparently known about this issue with the cr-v for quite some time .... they have kept it under the radar.... in china there has been a recall on 350,000 cr-v’s and they have stopped sales.... canada has also acknowledged the issue... usa honda is claiming it is a cold weather issue .... ( first off i bought it in july and secondly.... a car that doesn’t work in cold weather???? what the hell is that.... an awd vehicle at that!!!) honda is searching for a solution.... there is no solution.... gas is seeping into my oil wrecking the engine as i write .... honda needs to stop sales.... fess up and give me my money back or a new cr-v with the previously proven engine.... stay tuned! my husband feels owners out there are not aware yet because most don’t change their own oil.... and also most do not have anywhere near the miles it will take to completely destroy this engine as he has indicated “this cr-v with 1.5 turbo will never make 100,000 miles before it is destroyed ...please do something to recall these disasters

Fuel has leaked into the oil. the oil smells like fuel and is a least a quart high on the dipstick. smell of fuel in interior. warning lights come on

At 2600 miles, engine oil level has risen to overfull due to unburned gasoline leaking into lubrication system oil was very thin and watery and would cause premature engine failure. local dealer said they were aware of the problem with crvs with turbo engines, but had no guidance from honda about any long term fix. they changed the oil free of charge

Starting to do the gas dilution in the oil. oil has a very strong smell of gas.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled and restarted after several minutes. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 3,820.

The hands free phone feature has essentially been unusable since i have had the vehicle, which i purchased new in november 2017. the person on the other end of the call hears so much distortion, background noise, and acoustic feedback that they cannot hear what i am saying, worsening the faster the car is going. have had the car to 2 different dealerships, a total of 3 times. they have “updated the software” and replaced the microphone with no resolution. the dealerships do not seem to know how to resolve the issue, and there has been no assistance provided to them from honda. hands free is an important safety feature. i have had a ticket open with honda about this issue since may 2018 and have submitted a formal complaint through honda’s customer service line. honda has been unresponsive to this issue. there are many purchasers of these new vehicles who have had the same experience. please note comments on the cargurus.com blog, titled “hands free background noise.”

Gas smelling in car when driving on street. found engine oil above maximum level.

Strong smell of gasoline on oil dipstick (repeated this three times and got the same result each time). i was prompted to check this after reading a consumers report alert about the owners of 2017 and 2018 cr-v's reporting a problem with gasoline leaking into the oil system.

Gasoline mixing with engine oil. this is an addition to complaint # 11138878 and 11138881. on october 8th, 2018, after we complained about oil overfull and gasoline smell in oil, our honda dealer changed the oil in our cr-v and said to "keep an eye on it." they said they could find only one other complaint like this, and the problem had gone away after one oil change. on 10/8/2018, after having the oil changed in the morning, we drove 130 miles, all highway miles, with the cr-v. the next morning we checked the oil. already it was overfull, and already it smelled strongly of gasoline. the temperatures in michigan that day (and others around it) were actually warm, with a high of 80 degrees f. on 10/9/18 we bought a quart of honda 0w-20 oil at the dealer to compare the smell. the honda oil smells like nothing on a paper towel. oil from the dipstick of my cr-v reeks of gasoline. please note not low temperatures and not short trip, this was warm temps and highway miles only, and the gasoline in engine oil problem has re-occurred after only 130 miles and one day.

Gasoline present in oil. smell in cabin of car. dip stick smells of gas and is indicating over filled.

Noise heard as car accelerates and decelerates. chattering and whining sound coming from transmission as it moves through variable gears. not related to engine or braking. dealer gets no codes from car and testing was negative even as they drove car and took data in real time.

Just bought a new 2018 crv exl i've had it less than 2 weeks and put 600 miles on it, there was a smell of gas in the cabin when my wife and child were driving in town. when they got home i realized it was from gas getting into the oil. when the oil dipstick was checked a strong smell of gas was noticeable and the oil level read high on the dipstick. took it to honda the next business day and they confirmed what was happening. honda dealer contacted honda tech support for assistance with the issue, 5 days later dealer called and said car was ready for pick up. once there dealer said there is no current fix for the car and honda was working on a tsb to fix the issue. they did change the oil, but after driving it for a few days i already smell gas in the oil again. this is not acceptable. the dealers hands are tied with no fix available, i called honda customer care and opened a case with them. case manager has yet to contact me with any news. i feel this is a major safety hazard not only from smelling gas in the cabin, but also from gas in the oil and potential fire hazard if the gas oil level becomes to diluted.

I was pulling into a parking space,approximately 5 mph, applying the brakes to stop when the vehicle suddenly accelerated and was only stopped when it hit a concrete barrier.

While driving the vehicle, the "collision mitigation braking system" activated for no apparent reason. honda owners manual states this has 3 stages of warnings. this particular incident was definitely a stage 3 warning. i was driving at approx. 40-45 mph on a straight stretch of road with the closets vehicle in front of me probably a 1/4 mile ahead. the car all of sudden braked very hard for no reason to the point it actually threw me forward in the seat, almost came to a complete stop, and had a car behind me been closer, they likely would have rear ended me. this is the second such incident i've had with the vehicle and feel it causes a very unsafe condition.

Car accelerates rapidly, surges forward when i step on the gas. i could not stop in time to avoid collision.

While driving monday, 08/27/18, my car abruptly applied the braking system. i was going about 35 mph in town driving, not the freeway. there was a car in front of me about 4 or so car lengths. there were cars to my right and the rear but none were so close that i was in danger of hitting them nor they hitting me. there was no audible or visual warning on the dash. there may have been some resistance with the steering but unsure at this time. i've looked on-line and noticed this has happened to other drivers and there is no fix. i purchased my car from honda cars of mckinney and went to speak to service dept on 8/30/18, to see what remedy they can suggest. i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

Fatal acc/lkas "honda sensing problem" with "amber warning light" on dash, and system all locked up while on i75 on the way home from work. when i exited at the light, i turned-the-car off and it cleared the error message. cruise control was not engaged. new car. only 1-day old. called and reported to dealer but not response yet. appears to be a serious safety violation based on internet search of other customers with same problem. recommend priority assignment with honda.

Noticed fuel odor in car and when i checked the oil it was overfilled, i thought, then noticed it ran off the dipstick like water. it smelled like pure gasoline and was red brown in color. car has 2054 miles on it. reported to my honda dealer and had the oil and filter changed. they, roseburg honda, took my problem seriously and began researching online for other information in reference to this situation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while the vehicle was parked, the gear shifter failed to fully engage and the vehicle suddenly surged at a high rate of speed. as a result, the vehicle crashed into the garage door, a wall, and into the steps near the mud room of the house. the driver was unable to slow down the vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was not filed. the driver sustained injuries to the left side of the body, including the arms, hips, back, and minor bruising. medical treatment was not received. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the crash. the dealer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 6,000.

Driver's side mirror blurry/shaking at highway speeds and any speed going over bumps; which causes some visibility concerns- increasing the risk of an accident when changing lanes. noticed it day after purchase of new car. dealer replaced just the mirror-did not fix problem, then dealer replaced the entire mirror assembly-did not fix problem, technician at dealer also test drove multiple new 2018 cr-v's on the lot and found the same problem on every car he drove. after much lobbying/begging(to the dealer and honda customer service) for the problem to be addressed/fixed, honda sent out a field engineer to evaluate, who test drove my car and 2 other new lot 2018 cr-v cars, found mirror vibration and blurriness in all cars with some variability. i was told that there is an acceptable level of vibration/blurriness, or "tolerance" expected, unable to fix the problem because it is considered within a tolerable range. offered to replace my mirror assembly with another new car mirror on the lot which appeared to vibrate less(but still with some blurriness at times) which i did--some improvement but still see some mirror vibration/blurriness at highway speeds. never had a new car where i am suppose to expect and tolerate some degree of driver side mirror blurriness. while its irritating and distracting, i believe it more importantly represents a significant safety hazard on the road; especially considering it appears to be a defect on many cars if not all 2018 honda cr-vs. **will send video of mirror at request.

For the second time, i have experienced a strong gas smell in the cabin. i was driving about 45 mph on a city street.

After driving a short distance on a city street, i noticed a gas smell in the cabin. upon additional research, i learned that other cr-v owners have experienced the same situation with oil dilution (gas getting mixed in with oil). when i checked the oil, the level was over what is should be and the dipstick smelled of gas.

At about 810 miles on odometer, i checked the engine oil and it smelled like gasoline. i brought the car to dealer 2 times and left car there for 3 days the second time. service manager said that this gas smell is normal in the engine oil. i also noticed oil is turning black and the level is rising (due to gasoline entering the crankcase. dealer drove it about 200 miles and when i got car home, the smell of gasoline in oil was worse and the oil level was above the full mark (due to gasoline entering into engine oil. this poses a very dangerous threat of an accident because the engine could seize or the gasoline in oil could start a fire. i called honda and they said that this is normal.

This vehicle has "push to start". if the button is not pressed before leaving the vehicle, the engine continues to run. i forgot to shut off the engine after pulling into the garage, and i had to go back into the car and shut it off. the automaker needs to add an option to turn off the engine when the fob moves at least 5 feet from the vehicle. they already offer a feature to lock the car when the fob moves at least 5 feet away, so much of the infrastructure has been completed and tested.

2018 honda cr-v ex - while driving on highway, sunroof glass exploded and glass bits fell into car. sunroof was not hit by a rock. no other vehicles were near us on the highway when it happened. car was purchased brand new 7 days ago (580 miles at time of incident). sunroof glass was bowing outward after explosion.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. as a result, a crash occurred and the tire pressure, brake system, tire pressure monitoring system, and lane departure warning indicators illuminated. the contact also stated that the seat belt failed to restrain her and caused her to slam into the steering wheel. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained back and hip injuries that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent body shop, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 22,076.

When i stop on level road and take foot off brake the engine accelerates from 700 rpm to 1000-1100 rpm up tp 7mph.thats without touching gas pedal. i brought car to dealer and they test drove car.report says "vehicle will accelerate till reaches7ph then drop to idle speed.this is vehicle normal operation condition.no repair needed."they said all systems are at factory settings.i've owned cars for 55 yrs. and never had one do this.they might roll slightly but never accelerate.i feel it is a possible design safety defect that should be addressed.if you take foot off brake you can rear end something or kill or injure someone.this happens on all road conditions even up hill and every time take foot off brake.if this is factory setting something is not rite. *js

Honda 1.5 turbo engine is getting abnormal amounts of gasoline and water in the oil. my last oil change with mobil 1 was jet black after 4,300 miles of use. the dealership service manager told me that i should change the oil every 5,000 miles, the owner's manual says 10,000 miles. the mobil 1 engine oil has broken down before 5,000 miles.

Parked car on level ground after driving, waited 1 hour then checked oil via the dipstick with 1500 miles on the odometer. oil level is above the full mark and strong smell of gasoline on the dipstick.

On december 12, 2017 at about 4:30 pm, the collision mitigation braking system failed and put my car into a panic stop when i was not about to have a collision with the car in front of me. i was driving east along a 4 lane undivided highway in the right lane (slow lane) at about 45 miles per hour approaching a traffic signal that was green. there was a car ahead of me in the slow lane at the signal, slowed down to make a right hand turn. i was 5 or 6 car lengths behind this car and in no danger of colliding with him. without any warning, my car applied the brakes in a full panic stop. fortunately there was no vehicle behind me. there was no collision with any other vehicles, but my right hip and lower right back were sore for several weeks. i reported the incident to my insurance company and to the dealer that sold me the car. on the dealer's suggestion, i set the forward collision warning distance to "short"; it had been set at "normal", the factory setting. most days i manually turn the collision mitigation braking system off before i drive, but on the days i have forgotten, the problem has not re-occurred with the forward collision warning distance set to "short". i believe that if there was a vehicle behind me when the problem happened, he may have collided with the back of my car and caused me further injury. i thought for the safety of others, i should report this problem to you.

Very strong smell of gasoline inside the car and standing beside the car on the drivers side after refueling at gas station. i did not see any spilled gas or any leaks. smell got worse inside the car on the 3 mile drive home and was very strong when i pulled into the garage. i checked again about an hour later and the smell had decreased about 50%.

Door actuator in right rear door keeps door locking and unlocking vehicle while in motion. reported to honda, purchased vehicle used

The engine is making oil as we drive it. there is a gas smell inside the car. we dont drive short distances with it like the dealer said would make it happen

After driving a short distance on a city street, i noticed a strong gas smell in the cabin. i have since read on social media and websites where other cr-v owners have experienced the same problem and there is an oil dilution problem. every time i check the oil level, i can smell gas on the dipstick. i am aware honda has issued a recall in china for this same issue. they need to fix the problem in the u.s. as well and do it immediately.

Sudden acceleration. had foot on the brake in a parking spot, the car suddenly accelerated. the engine raced and the car propelled forward, jumped the curb and stopped when hitting a tree. the accelerator pedal was not touched, and the braked did not hold it. luckily, no one was in front of the car. honda has denied any responsibility, and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. have had the car for 3 months, and 1800 miles. obviously, the first time this has happened. now we are afraid to get the car, since someone may be killed the next time the car decides to act up. please help

Today, i was driving along the highway when my sunroof suddenly and spontaneously exploded. visual inspection showed that the sunroof exploded outward and there was no debris or impact that would have caused this breakage. i was driving with my infant son when this occurred. luckily, i had the shade closed.

Bought a brand new 2018 fully loaded touring cr-v 3 days ago on monday. filing this report on wednesday. the car has only 35 miles on it as i write this. we drove roughly 25 miles total since leaving the dealership. after hearing about oil dilution problems encountered by other drivers, i decided to check the oil to see if it smelled like gasoline just in case. fyi, it was parked in our enclosed garage. i was shocked that it actually did smell, but it didn't just smell a little. it smelled like when you get gasoline on your hands. i immediately took it back to the dealership with the paper towel in hand. every salesperson and technician i handed the paper towel to confirmed the oil from the dipstick that was wiped on the towel smelled like gasoline. they are reviewing the problem,and have decided to spend more time looking at it due to my concerns. sounds more serious, but i don't want to assume. i am concerned this problem which is known in china and japan will grow to be like the other complaints registered with the nhsta. china has halted sales of the cr-v until they can determine a reasonable fix. apparently a recall to adjust software timings was not enough. also should mention honda canada is monitoring this and sent a bulletin to their dealers.

The day after we bought a brand new 2018 honda crv, i was driving down the highway using adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and lane departure mitigation the vehicle started braking and the gas pedal did not work and then all the warnings went across the dashboard for example: brake system problem, tire pressure monitor problem, park warning, adaptive cruise control warning, road departure mitigation problem, hill start assist warning to name a few. we have taken the car to the dealer 3 times now. the technicians have tried several resets but every time we get the car back it happens again.

Oil on dipstick smells like gas. the car cabin smells like gas and it basically stinky unless the car windows are open. garage also smells like gas when car is parked.

Left house to find all the windows down and the sun roof partially opened. the key fob was on the dresser in the house. car was parked outside.

Driving down the highway when all dash warning lights concerning the honda sensing system came on with malfunction warnings, pulled to the side of the highway and turned the motor off, then restarted the motor and the warnings went off. took the car to the dealer and they checked the computer for codes, there were none. my question, is this car safe to drive and is honda motor company working on this issue. when looking at the honda forums online it appears that this is a problem with alot of the 2017 and 2018 crv's. i don't like pulling to the side of the highway trying to get the computer to reboot. my honda service person said that we would monitor the problem before my next oil change that i'd due in october 2018. again, i would like to know if honda motor is aware of an issue that is potentially a very dangerous situation for a family to be put in.

Engine does not start dash board shows all the error messages. after 10-15 mins it works fine. took vehicle to dealers 3 times and kept overnight to fix. no solution provided. raised 2 tickets with honda they are irresponsible and stopped contacting me for solution. hundreds of people facing this issue.

Oil dilution in the engine! gas fumes smell in the cabin due to it!

I checked my oil level the oil day and noticed that it was well above the "full" mark on the dipstick. i also noticed that it was not as viscous as it should be and that it smelled like gasoline. the car only has 1123 miles on it.

We had a horrible situation last night when we were driving on the highway. our honda crv 2018 exl which is not even 2 weeks old,brand new,started shaking and wobbling and stopped in the mid road.all the safety systems failed and there were warnings on the dashboard, brake system problem, all wheel drive system problem, tire pressure monitor problem, electric parking brake problem,road departure mitigation system problem,collision mitigation system problem, lane keeping assist problem,adaptive cruise control problem,hill start assist problem, vehicle stability assist problem,anti lock brake system problem,power steering system problem, you name it.everything went wrong.we had a baby in the car seat behind and could have ended up in an accident.all the safety features failed.honda doesnt have an answer for it. very unsafe to drive this car in the highway if it suddenly stops and what if we get hit by car or truck behind us.honda has no solution.

Cmbs faulty. it thinks there is n object on an empty road and hard brakes it’s very hazardous to drive you never know when it’s gonna happen dealer can’t find the isssue

I was driving to get license renewed when my car lost power and began to coast. the engine was on and i had to gun it to pick up speed. i turned around and headed for the honda dealership. upon getting there all systems were lit up maintenance wise and smoke was coming out of the underside where the brakes are. the service advisor said when she went around the car that it was so hot it would have burned her. service tech said left front brakes extremly heated and smoke coming from the area. found brakes have gotten hot. cleared code present c0040-12. brake switch stuck on. i advised never used hold brake unless i was sitting on steep hill. tech unable to make vehicle do what it was doing to me but, the minute i got it out on the highway, it started doing the same thing. tech advised brake pads ok and rotors have some heat spots in them but ok. they went ahead and changed the oil!!!!

I was driving to work on dry roads with light traffic due to it being spring break in atlanta. i was driving at 48 mph and suddenly it was as if someone had stomped on the brakes hard. the car slowed very quickly to 30 mph. a car that was following me at similar speed had to swerve to avoid running into the back of me. there was no car in front of me that could have triggered a breaking response and i did not deviate from my lane either. this was a completely random event. 10 minutes later as i got closer to work the lane diversion warning came on, again with me being rocky steady in my lane. i think the sensors may have been reading any whites lines in the road, like a crosswalk or white lane turn arrow.

The rear center and rear left passenger seatbelt latch requires for the two seatbelts to be entangled together to be latched. it is clearly a safety issue as they cannot be used in tandem, which means that only two occupants can be safely transported in the rear.

Oil diluted by gas. gas smell in oil. also causes overfill of crankcase. gas in oil dilutes oil causing excessive and unnecessary wear and tear.

Gasoline odor in cabin, raw fuel going through catalytic converter, gasoline in oil pan

I purchased a brand new honda crv ex on 12/31/18. please see my letter (attachment.. i first noticed my trunk was not aligned, so i had to bring it back to be realigned. i quickly noticed bluetooth was not functioning properly. people kept telling me they couldn't hear me or i sounded like i was under water or half the words were missing. i took it to the dealer and they changed the microphone and for a day or so it seemed better. however, after that, now i can hardly hear other people and it sounds like a fax machine or breaks off the call so i can't hear anything. if it does function, people state they can barely hear me or understand me. i took it back to honda and they said their it department stated there was nothing they could do to fix the problem. as you read the letter, you will see that honda has turned this issue onto the buyers. if you google this problem , there are thousands of people having this problem. i sent a letter to corporate in california and walter(the regional manager of illinois) called me back again. he said he works in california? we went around and around about the same things he told me per our last call. please look at the phones they have listed on their website. i have the latest samsung note. the only one they have listed is a note 2 which is from 2012. i cannot believe honda, with all the technology they have, cannot help all the people that own these new/used vehicles?? i am so astounded that so many people have this problem and have spent a lot of money on these cars. walter told me to keep checking back on the website because things get updated monthly. i haven't seen any changes. i will be waiting a long time for them to catch up to samsung note newer phones if they are only on 2012 phones. this is very dangerous and there need to be a recall.

Honda's sensing system randomly displays invalid warning messages. this is the radar/camera system that monitors cars speed, braking, distances, cruise control, etc. this is a random issue that occurs when driving at highway speeds (45 to 65mph). warning lights come on stating problems with brakes, speed controls, etc. the main safety concern is that system tells you that you have a problem with your brakes, and you have no way of know if this is true or not. you are forced to pull over in traffic and understand if there is a problem or not. i understand that if it is snowing, heavy rain, heavy dust, or the sensors are blocked in any way, a warning light will come on. the safety concern is that the warnings come on randomly on a sunny or cloudy dry day where there should be nothing that sets the sensors off. to correct the problem, you must stop the car, place it in park and then the alarms clear. this system is not reliable and can not be trusted, plus has not been able to be repaired by the dealer, and per honda information, could randomly stop the car when there is not real problem (i.e. set the brakes as i am driving down the road at highway speeds for no reason). false warning lights distract the driver and could lead to a collision while driving or on the side of the road trying to determine if there is truly a problem with the vehicle. should system stop the car for no reason, it could cause a collision. this continues to occur with this vehicle.

Sensor indicating low tire pressue will come on randomly while driving down the road at any speed. there is no issue with tire pressures when this occurs (i stop and pull off the road and check each tire with a pressure gauge). dealer states this is a known issue as the "tire sensors" actually work by calculating the rotation of each tire, if they don't match, sensor goes off indicating low pressure. per dealer, system gets "confused". only way to fix is to pull over and stop, then use a special "hard reset of the tire pressure system" that is not explained in the vehicle manual. dealer states honda has no fix. safety concern is you do not know if you really have a flat tire or not, causing you to pull over and check tires with a pressure gauge in the middle of traffic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving various speeds, the contact smelled fuel fumes. there were no warning indicators illuminated. krenzen honda (4160 haines rd, duluth, mn 55811, (218) 724-6632) diagnosed that fuel was leaking into the oil compartment. the dealer reprogrammed the software, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was repaired a second time. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 5,000.

Fuel in oil

Second time this car’s warning system has activated since having the recalled a/c part replaced. while driving (hwy speeds 65+ mph)the car is losing acceleration ability in traffic and the dash is reading: power steering system problem road departure mitigation system problem electric parking brake problem tire pressure monitor problem emission system problem all wheel drive system problem brake system problem brake hold system problem. the first time the vehicle was brought to the dealer they could not tell what the problem was, but now this is the second occurrence since feb 2019.

Engine (specifically coolant used for heating the windshield defrosting air) does not heat up enough in cold weather for windshield defrosters to work properly until car has been at highway speeds for several miles. when driven less than 40mph in weather below 32f., engine temperature remains cold, therefore providing to heat for defrosting windshield. it does not help to let vehicle "warm up" prior to driving because when idling the engine never gets warm (temperature indicator remains on coldest indicated setting). this creates a safety hazard because windows are not clear for driving. this is a consistent problem that occurs anytime outside temperatures are cold. i live in a northern state where temperatures reach -30f, and the problem is worse as the temperatures get colder.

While performing a straight, slow speed stop at red light in city traffic, in dry weather with no road debris, the brakes feel spongy, like they are not operating at full power, and is unable to stop the vehicle. pressing harder on the brake petals causes a loud rumbling noise from the braking system that sounds like abs system engaging. the vehicle does come to a full stop, but a low rumbling noise continues while stopped. when driver releases brakes, before pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle lurches forward abruptly and rumbling noise stops. subsequent operation of vehicle returns to normal. this sequence of behavior occurs sporadically. it has occurred three times in the last four months. i took the vehicle to a honda dealership. inspection by a certified mechanic did not uncover any cause for this behavior and no error codes are recorded in the vehicle's computer. mechanic indicated that without a reliable way to reproduce the fault, it is difficult to know what went wrong or how to fix it.

Observed high engine oil level; almost an inch over the high level mark on dipstick with gas odor. honda advised to get it checked out at the dealer. took it to dealer on 2/4/19 at 21152 miles. they found oil level high with gas smell. but did not do anything saying that honda is working on a software update. there is a software update issued by honda as service bulletin 18-114. but mine does not qualify for any update. honda case manager advised to take it back if stalls or engine light comes on. i am concerned about engine lubrication problems and thereby reduced life of engine and possible emission problems down the road once warranty expires. concerned danger of vehicle stalling in the middle of traffic as well. on cold start engine vibration feels at the steering. takes time for the engine to heat up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the oil level was above the fill line. the contact also smelled fuel mixed with the oil. the manufacturer referred the contact to tracy honda (3450 auto plaza way, tracy, ca 95304, (209) 832-1400). the dealer was aware of fuel mixing with the oil and did not schedule an appointment. the contact called the manufacturer and they did not assist. the failure mileage was 11,000. the vin was unknown.

Oil level on dip stick is 1/2 “ above the full mark. honda dealership performed the factories fix in january 2019. 2500 miles later same thing oil level is a 1/2 “ above high mark on dip stick. i took it back to the honda dealership and they refused to even check the oil level. they handed me a piece of paper that states that they consider it normal dilution from unturned gas that drains down the cylinder wall and into the oil pan.

Severe dilution of engine oil with gasoline

Terrible gas smell inside the vehicle. very strong gas odor almost enough to give us a headache. we googled gas smell issue for a 2018 crv and read information about checking oil to see if the strong gas smell is coming there. oil dipstick smelled very strong for gas. plan to contact honda and the dealer tomorrow to see what can be done.

Recently bought a 2018 honda cr-v 2018, with each fill up of gas, the car has started spitting,sputtering, worsening with each fill up. now the car is stalling, this happened twice on a major highway, now every warning light is flashing, roadside service came to pick up my car, took back to dealership who tells us, per honda, the car is safe to drive, you still have the issues, warnings are still flashing, but it's safe to drive until we can get your parts, how am i suppose to know if there is truly an issue with my car if all the warnings are flashing up . how is this safe!!

Oil level on dip stick is about 1 and 1/2 inches above high mark. oil was changed 6639 miles ago. current milage is 14200.

When driving my vehicle on the highway, it shut down and the service engine light came on, it had lost all power and it had 4525 miles on it. i was on my way to take it up for a recall for a software update with a/c control unit replacement ; dtc p0300, p0301,p0302,p0303,p0304,or p0172. i had to call honda road side assistance and my vehicle was hauled on a flat bed trailer to get the recall fixed. this recall also involved an oil change, of which they were making the customer responsible to pay for the filter, they would change the filter with the oil change, but not pay for the filter when changing the oil. there is also an oil disillusion problem with this vehicle as there is gas going into the oil causing a gas smell in the oil and thinning out the oil. also there is a heating problem with this vehicle as there is no heat which comes out of the blowers, which where i live is very important to have for 6-9 months out of the year. i would rather not have air conditioning as i can roll down my window to get cooled off, but there is only one way i can get heat in my car and that is from running the engine and using the climate control in the car. in cold weather states when driving this car is not safe because when it shuts down and isn't drivable and the car isn't able to produce heat when you are stranded a person could freeze to death because of the cars inability to produce heat while stranded in the cold weather. my oil already smells of gas and i have driven it less than 700 miles since the oil change, that was performed with the recall. i am taking to honda dealer again for an exam i was told, to check out spark plugs and x-ray them and also for another oil change, with 5219 miles on car now, so with less than 700 miles from last oil change i will now be getting another. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Gasoline in the engine oil, the engine oil is overfilled, and smell the gasoline. sent the car to the honda dealer, and they did oil change and told me that honda did not have a solution now.i am wondering if it is still safe to drive the car?

Fuel is leaking into the oil system. oil has very strong smell of gasoline. oil dilution is doing untold damage to engine.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. after checking the oil dipstick, the contact observed that the oil level was above the high mark. the contact stated that there was also a fuel odor on the dipstick. the vehicle was taken to rairdon's honda of burien (located at 15026 1st ave s, burien, wa 98148, (206) 489-2608) where the contact was informed that the manufacturer was aware of the oil dilution affecting similar vehicles. an oil change was performed on the vehicle, but the failure was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 3,358.

I was driving to honda dealer on march 6, 2019 for my second oil change as a result of me calling the dealership and telling them my oil smelled like it had gas in it again. this is with less than 700 miles since the first oil change that i had done on february 13, 2019. my first oil change was with 4525 miles, this was done as part of a recall on my vehicle. on this march 6th trip i was about 40 miles away from the dealership and my acc (adaptive cruise control) shut down, the collision mitigation system problem and road departure mitigation system problem lights all came up on dash of car and kept scrolling on dash. when my car did this i was unsure, felt unsafe and was frustrated as not knowing what was going on and how many more problems i am going to have with this vehicle. i found a safe place to pull over and called the dealer and told him what was going on, he said the car was safe to drive but those systems that were scrolling on dash weren’t operating. it was 6° f outside a clear road and a sunny day in north dakota. after the oil change, i was told the oil was high and that there was again gas in my oil again. at this point i am beyond frustrated and wondering how many more problems i will be having with this new vehicle and the nearest dealership to me is 100 miles away, which causes me time and expense to get to dealership. this also causes me to wonder how reliable this new vehicle can be in north dakota in the winter time as also not getting much heat out of the heating system either, so between the heat, the gas in the oil and electrical problems i am not feeling that this is a safe dependable vehicle to drive, as a person could freeze to death if ended up stranded when the car shuts down and no heat, like it did when i had my appointment for the recall on 2-12-19 and it had to be put on flat bed truck to get recall done.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to autopark honda (located at 3630 old raleigh rd, cary, nc 27511, (919) 467-4747) for an oil change and the dealer diagnosed that there was an engine oil dilution with fuel due to a software setting. the contact was informed that the vehicle was safe to drive and there would be a software update to repair the failure; however, the remedy was not available. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 2,500.

2018 honda cr-v touring edition with 4,000 miles on it in kansas city, mo. as i was driving down the interstate on the way home from work, an overwhelming smell of gasoline invaded the cabin. as i was only a few miles from home, i kept driving, thinking it may have been from another vehicle. however, the smell remained. when i got home and parked in the garage, i opened the hood, and it was clear my engine was the source of the fumes. had to keep the garage open for fear the fumes could ignite. vehicle is currently at the honda dealership for service. dealer claims they've never experienced this type of issue, and is currently investigating.

Driving vehicle home from work, on interstate highway at 65 mph speed limit. suddenly heard a loud sound in direction above my head. i glanced up and found the sunroof glass above my head to be shattered and the wind created by driving at that speed took some of the glass off and i believe showered the roadway behind me. i now have a large hole in the sunroof glass and what glass remains is completely shattered. what caused the glass to shatter is unknown at this time.

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 was driving our 2018 honda cr-v 1.5l suv (with 4200 miles odometer reading at the time of the incident) on saturday, march 2 on iowa state highway 92 going approximate 62mph and were 25 miles from home when the vehicle stalled and lost engine power unexpectedly and we had to go to the shoulder of the highway to get out of traffic coming behind us on the road. the vehicle would not accelerate to more than 6mph and the engine light was flashing when any effort to accelerate was made. we called honda roadside assistance and were told it would be a 4 hour wait for a tow. the outside temperature that day was 16 degrees above zero fahrenheit . it was 3 hours before a tow service arrived. our vehicle was towed to smart honda in des moines, iowa which was the closest honda dealer. the service department suspected the oil dilution problem and did an oil change that day. we were asked to keep our vehicle at smart honda until they could complete the service required. we were not given a loaner vehicle to use while the cr-v was at the dealer. we bought this vehicle in july 2018 and in october of 2018 we received an email from consumer reports about the oil dilution problem in the 2017-18 cr-v 1.5l engines. we did not receive any info from honda corporation until january 2019 when we got a letter about a software update due to “drivability concerns”. due to severe weather in iowa, we were not able to schedule a service appointment and there was no emergency urgency in the letter we received. we are hugely disappointed and upset about this issue and consider it extremely unsafe to have a vehicle that can stall at anytime and anyplace. a safety recall on this engine should be issued before someone is killed with a stalled engine occurring completely at random.

Gasoline was contaminating the oil and causing an overfilled crankcase condition. on occasion gasoline fumes entered the cabin in january a honda "fix" was installed by the dealer as part of a honda notification. the oil was changed and a new filter installed at the same time. since then, the oil level has been continuously monitored with the same over full contamination and gasoline fume problems in existence. the honda "fix" did not solve the problem. both the dealer and honda have been notified. the continuing problem has been acknowledged, but no solution has been offered or discussed, the problem has been ongoing since we took delivery of the vehicle in june 2018.

While driving on the highway at night the entire display (head unit) with the map went off, came back on and then started to behave erratically. i heard beeping sounds as if someone were actually touching the screen, the brightness turned up and down by itself as well. i took it to the dealer and they tested it and said they could not reproduce the problem. i told them that i had videos from when it happened to clearly illustrate the problem but they were not even interested in seeing the videos. they asked me to return if it should happen again. however nonsensical this response, i will take them up on this offer. i wonder what guarantee they have that they will be able to reproduce the problem in the future. if they can't, whatever they are proposing to do then i believe they should have been able to do when i took it in.

My 2018 honda cr-v is have a problem with overfilled oil levels with a gas mixed with engine oil and gas smell, this is due to gas leak into oil reservoirs. this is a cause for concern of longevity of the engine and health risk cause from gas smell in the cabin of vehicle. nhtsa to required honda to recall this vehicle to get it fix . my vehicle only have 6100 miles on it.

While driving the cr-v down the country roads in my area the vehicle started to shake and loose power. the check engine light came on and while trying to find a safe place to pull off the vehicle began loosing power. with the gas pressed to the floor the vehicle would not go above five miles an hour. finding a location to pull over. the vehicle was shut off and the engine was crackling and smelled like it was burning. getting out of vehicle for safety reasons allowed showed that the smell was worse on the outside. the vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was deemed in operable. they provided me with a loaner; however, i am paying for a vehicle that cannot be driven. this vehicle was only off the lot for three months with less than 800 miles.

At several points in time during november and december, i smelled a foul odor in the passenger cabin. i notified the dealer and there was a recall in which they applied the fix. even now, there appears to be a foul smell once in a while. the heating system takes a long time to heat up in the winter. if in park/idle mode, the heat will automatically be less hot for some reason.

The collision avoidance system or whatever it is called suddenly slammed on the brakes when i approached a slight left curve in the road at 35 miles per hour (the posted speed limit). the system has activate at least 3 times before at the same place in the rad and same speed, for no apparent reason other than possibly a sign or tree that is close to the edbe of the road. however this time the braking was so severe it could have caused an accident if a car had been closely following me. i pass this place imultiple times every week for over a year, but the braking problem has only occurred 4 or 5 times.

I noticed the oil level being over full in the fall of 2018, at that time we had about 6,000 miles on the vehicle. at 7237 miles i had my first oil change our dealer on october 15, 2018. i became aware of the oil dilution issue after receiving a letter from honda regarding service bulletin 18-114. i checked the oil level and found it to be way over-filled on december 1, 2018. i visited the dealer and they advised that a permanent fix was on its way and i should wait for a formal recall, however i was very concerned about the long term affect on our car’s engine so i returned to the dealer and expressed my displeasure with the delay. they called me a day or two later indicating that they would perform the recall work which was completed on january 8, 2019. i checked the oil level immediately after the oil change and found it was at the top of the orange plastic tip of the dipstick (i realize the full level is at the top hole in the orange tip). hoping that the oil dilution issue was fixed, i checked the oil again today, february 15, 2019 after the vehicle sat in the garage all night. the oil level was found to be way above the full mark and beyond the top of the orange tip by more than ½”. the oil dilution issue has not been corrected in my vehicle. i filed a complaint with honda mc and received a phone call from a tech who informed me that "there was no issue with the vehicle and if the check engine light came on to return to the dealer". i expressed my displeasure with this response and she repeated her "canned" response. i am not the only owner of this vehicle/engine with the same issue. i request that the nhtsa formally investigate this matter as the canadian and chinese governments have and have found this matter to be real.

2018 honda crv has oil diluted by gas and causes the crankcase oil to be overfilled. also smell of raw gas in cabin. dealer has no fix. i got them to do the software upgrade but no change. purchased the car new in april 2018 and immediately had the above mention problems. had the oil changed and no improvement. very concerned about the longevity of the engine and safety to car with that much gas in the oil

Gas getting mixed in with oil had cr-v at dealership and said there was gas mixed in with the oil so they call honda and they told them to change the oil

Gas gets into the oil under normal driving conditions

The engine fails to reach full operating temperature. gas is finding its way into the oil pan and producing an overfill condition. the cabin smells of gasoline. the electronics are unreilable and are often of line

Oil dilution problem - i smell gas from exhaust, oil dip stick , cabin and when i opened the oil cap , also vehicle is not maintaining the proper temperature while driving with the heat on. this maybe be potentially dangerous to occupants as well as vehicle and engine.

The collision mitigation braking system was activated when i drove over large metal panels that were placed on a city street in chicago. i have attached documentation. it happened twice in same spot, jan. 8 and jan. 10, both times i was accelerating to get onto the highway ramp, so the impact of the brakes locking up was extra severe. the dealer said he had two other people with same experience, but one going over railroad tracks. the dealer and honda told me the only way to turn off this system is to manually do it every time you start your car. thank god i did not have somebody close behind me when it happened, or i would have been rear ended. the regional case manager did not return my calls for a week, and when he did he said the car was operating properly. i told him in the city of chicago(where i work) i drive over about 15-20 metal panels like that every day, going each way. i am afraid i will forget to turn the system off one of these times, and if i do and i get rear ended, i will hold honda responsible. i was completely dissatified with the letter they sent me,not adressing my complaint at all, the the case manager was very rude on the phone. i asked if my honda dealer could disable this feature, and was told no. there have to be many other consurmers out there that live in cities that have this same problem. there is no way to adjust the sensitivity to large metal objects. the way honda handled my complaint is totally unacceptable to me. **i also have photos of the exact spot that this occurred, if needed, i can upload the photos

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that fuel was leaking into the oil and the check engine indicator kept randomly illuminating. bosak honda michigan city (710 hwy 20, michigan city, in 46360, 1-219-874-4293) was notified and stated that the manufacturer sent notification of campaign number: 1245a2 for a product and software update. the dealer serviced the manufacturer campaign, which was not a manufacturer recall, but the remedy failed to provide a permanent repair. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and provided a case number. the manufacturer had not issued any fuel system or engine recalls. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 11,800. *tt*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact stated that fuel was leaking into the engine oil and diluting the engine oil. in addition, the vehicle stalled and fuel fumes crept into the vehicle, creating an abnormal fuel odor. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to holman honda (12 e sunrise blvd, fort lauderdale, fl 33304, (954) 764-1100) where the software was refreshed, but the failure was not repaired. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 12,200.

This vehicle is also experiencing the oil dilution issue. i am concerned about the longevity of the engine now since the gas in the oil is changing the viscosity of the oil.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while the vehicle was being serviced by an independent mechanic for an oil change, the contact was informed that there was no engine oil evident on the dipstick, the oil pan was seeping at the crank pulley, and there was an oil leak at the bell housing. cleo bay honda (located at 3907 e central texas expy, killeen, tx 76543, (254) 690-7355) was contacted and an appointment was made to have the vehicle diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 5,835.

Relevant to nhtsa campaign number: 18v663000, our 2018 honda cr-v exhibited the behavior described in the recall notice resulting in accident (vehicle hitting telephone pole). same make and model listed in the recall however the vin search does not return as part of the recall. turning the steering fully to the right while exiting a car wash resulted in the 'steering assist' applying force in the opposite direction causing loss of control, collision and injury.

2018 honda cr-v touring infotainment system flickers, screen turns on and off by it self as well as the brightness of the screen changes by it self and the screen stops responding, weather you are listening to the radio, god, etc all just gets interrupted by the issue. honda won’t fix the problem because they claim there is no solution to the problem. a temporary solution is to pull over and turn off car and back on. very distracting while driving and frustrating specially since this happens while you are driving l, this has happen about 5 times in the past 2 months and the car was purchased brand new 5 months ago

Noticed a strong odor of gas on the oil dipstick along with a strong odor of gas in the cabin area. the smell is so strong that it causes the occupants to become sick. the smell is normally when its sitting, idling or when you first start it when the engine is cold.

Fumes in the cabin when starting during cooler weather. gasoline present in the engine oil, which dilutes the oil and results in levels higher than recommended by manufacturer. concerns documented with a certified honda dealer. amending software has not solved the problem. we were hold that honda engineers are working on a solution. we have been to the dealer 4 times without a resolution.

Oil dilution in engine. only 1,000 miles after oil change my oil smells like gas and is 1/4" above max level. honda says no further fixes after the repair already completed. told vehicle is at risk for stalling and total engine failure.

During idle the engine looses heat also causing the heater inside the cabin to loose heat at temperatures below 10 degrees.

While driving the vehicle the odor of gasoline is present inside the vehicle from time to time. upon checking the oil level there is gasoline in the oil. it is dark milky looking that smells of gasoline, and after touching it with your finger clearly your finger smells of gasoline as well.

Sunroof suddenly exploded by itself while driving on highway. it shattered in 1000s of pieces with a loud, powerful explosion. bits of shattered glass put scratches on the roof. car has only 4000 miles.

Vehicle was recalled for oil dilution issue and engine not warming up properly and gasoline smell inside vehicle. honda repaired on 1/11/19. recall repair did not work. took it back on 1/16/19. still does not work. i started vehicle in driveway and left it run for 35 minutes with heater on high and fan on high still blowing ice cold air temp gauge did not move at all. still smell gas in vehicle engine oil is overfilled about 3/8 inch above full on dip stick. another appointment on 2/12/19 to try and fix for third time. saturday morning 2/9/19 at 7:10 in morning on way home from work 23 degrees out i had to put the windows down because gas smell inside vehicle was making me sick. sunday morning at 7:10 on way home from work 17 degrees outside started vehicle up at 6:50 7:05 i got in vehicle still ice cold cleaned frost and ice off vehicle as best i could. vehicle will not warm up unless it is driven!!! started driving home and windshield is solid ice no sense in stopping because will not heat up unless vehicle is moving. these vehicles are accidents waiting to happen. honda is aware of all these issues but does nothing. i guess not enough people were killed by their faulty vehicles yet and not enough lawsuits. everyone of these vehicles should be recalled and banned from the road until repaired. i asked jones honda of lancaster pa where i bought this vehicle for a loaner car until it is repaired and they said no they do not give out loaner cars but will rent me one. i paid about $32,000 for this vehicle and this is how they treat their customers.

Gas and oil smell in passenger compartment. gas is leaking into the engine oil causing overfill level. oil leak on floor of garage. fear gas in oil will cause premature wear of engine. just found this was a known problem by honda in 2017 and 2018 models but still sold me the car. taking car in. bought new has 2100 miles now.

The engine oil is being diluted with gasoline due to a faulty engine design by honda. we first noticed a strong gas odor in the cabin in october 2018. we bought the car to the dealer in nov 2018, they noted the problem and did an oil change. honda released tsb 18-114 in dec 2018 to address the problem. i brought my cr-v to the dealer on 01/03/2019 and they applied the fix per tsb 18-114. however 3 weeks later, i noticed gasoline still diluting the engine oil. i bought the car back and they did an oil change on 01/30/2019 (for free) and advised to come back in 1,000 miles to check the oil again. i am afraid honda has no real fix for this issue and this constant dilution with lead to long term engine damage and possible other side effects like stalling.

Smelled gasoline inside car on cold day; smelled gasoline on oil dipstick; oil level above normal; dealer changed oil; happened less than 400 miles later; noticed while driving (outside temp 20 degrees f)

Fuel getting into engine oil

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to smart honda des moines (11206 hickman rd, des moines, ia 50325, (515) 253-3040) where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be updated. the software was replaced, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 9,000.

The engine oil has a strong gasoline smell and gets dirty soon after an oil change.

Oil dilution in 1.5 l turbo engine. strong smell of fuel outside vehicle. only have <9000 miles and have had to change oil 3 times as level goes up ans smells of gas. currently have 300 miles on this oil change and can already see level rising. all driving is 20 plus mile trips.

Just purchased a 2018 honda touring crv with 300 miles that i purchase and there’s only three days old the vehicle has problems accelerating and has loud knocking noises from the engine. my oil looks to be over filled and i am smelling gasoline i believe on the oil cap. the noise has gotten more louder over the past few days that i have been driving my vehicle. my main concern is the feeling of loss power when i am driving.

We purchased our 2018 honda crv in august of 2018 and soon after found out shortly after that there was a known problem with gas getting into the oil in the 1.5 l models in the years 2017 and 2018. when i checked the oil soon after the purchase i noticed it appeared to be a bit high on the dipstick. i decided to change the oil myself at about 1500 miles and found there was 7.5 quarts when the actual amount should have been 3.7 quarts. within a few days of changing the oil i noticed the oil was up higher on the dipstick again so i made an appointment at wilde honda for service. i was told there would soon be a fix for the issue and they changed the oil. i brought the vehicle back a couple weeks later to have the fix done to the vehicle. i took the vehicle home and soon after found the oil higher on the dipstick again. i took it back to honda service again and they changed the oil but did not check how much oil was actually in the engine. i pulled out of honda service and it immediately appeared high on the dipstick but i went home with the vehicle. i waited a week or so and changed the oil myself and checked the amount of oil which was 4.7 quarts so 1 quart over. i called honda service about the issue and they said they can do no more to help and suggested i contact honda or go through mediation. i have never had a vehicle with an issue like this and i see it is pretty widespread and not just in the usa. i guess i will work through mediation and see what can be done. we'd really like to just trade it in for a new model that does not have this issue. should have bought the toyota rav4 instead.

This car was purchased new in july 2018. after about 2 months of ownership, it was observed that the oil level was significantly above the "full" mark on the dipstick. checked on-line and learned that many other owners had made the same observation, noting a strong odor of gasoline in the oil on the dipstick. dealer acknowledged that 1.5 liter turbo engines are having this problem with increasing frequency. dealer changed oil and filter at no charge. problem persisted, with 3 more oil changes at no cost over next 4 months due to gasoline dilution of oil and consequent overfill of crankcase as read on the dipstick. honda dealership carried out a honda product update on this vehicle referenced as "1245a2 product update campaign" that involved a software update in which the pcm and tcm were programmed and the a/c control unit was replaced. oil levels seemed normal for about two months, but once again were well over the full mark and had a strong gasoline odor on february 11, 2019. took car to dealership to have problem checked and was informed that honda now states that this condition is "normal" for this vehicle and that oil changes for overfilled oil condition will no longer be done at no charge. i scheduled an oil change and will have this done in one week. car has 12,000 miles on the odometer. this seems to be a widespread problem with 2017 and 2018 honda crv's with the 1.5 liter turbo engine. honda needs to solve this problem or offer a refund on the vehicle. the potential for early engine wear and failure seems obvious due to gasoline diluted oil. also, there is sometimes a gasoline odor in or near the vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving approximately 20 mph and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to respond. the vehicle was taken to ken vance honda (located at 2802 lorch ave, eau claire, wi 54701, (715) 318-1641) for a software update, abut the failure recurred. the vehicle was not diagnosed. the contact attempted to notify the manufacturer, but was unsuccessful. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 43,000.

Severe oil dilution in 1.5l turbo engine. live/ drive in warm climate (new orleans). level on dipstick continually climbs upward to greater than 21mm above full mark which translates to 24.7% dilution. we do not drive short trips...engine temperature gauge is up to normal within 3 blocks from our house and about 3 minutes after startup. we drive almost exclusively on interstate highways

My 2018 honda crv has the oil dilution issue at my first oil change i asked the service adviser why my oil level was over the top of the dip stick by about 3/4 an inch and the oil smelled like gas and i also asked him why i smelled it in the cabin. he said anything was wrong it was normal. i checked the oil every 1000 miles and it would go up 1/8 inch every 1000 miles. i took the crv back the dealer because the heater would not get warm at all at idle and the smell of gas was terrible my garage even had a strong smell of gas.the dealer told me i definitely had gas in the oil and the heater problem was part of the gas in the oil issue and at this time honda had no fix for the issue. they did a oil change and told me they would contact me if honda came up with a fix. it’s now 4 days after the oil change and the oil is already over the dip stick. i opened a case with honda customer service and after talking to three different people i finally talk to a case manager and he told me gas in the oil was normal and to take the crv back to the dealer if the heater was not working. he is protecting honda because they have a hugh issue. i did not get the extended warranty so this is a big deal for many people like me. please help honda does not care about the customers in the usa look at what they did in canada and china for the exact same issue. thank you!

Had an oil change at a grease monkey. they noted that the oil stick indicated that it was above full and smelled of gas. when draining the oil, they smelled a strong smell of gas as well. oil and gas are mixing in the engine which is a known problem by honda for the 1.5l turbo engine which is in my car. i am concerned that that gas and oil mix will cause issues related to the engine and may cause premature failure.

After having a mandatory update done by honda january 3 2019 i no longer have heat in my vehicle when its below freezing. my windows cannot stay defrosted or safe to see out of. i have to keep pulling over to scrape windows during storms. also february 14 i noticed my engine rapping badly. i had it towed to the honda dealer. my engine oil was 1 inch over the high fill line. honda corporate told the dealership to tell me that it's 100% normal and fine, and oil dilution is normal and fine. my engine is rapping badly, i have had coworkers who are ase certified look at the vehicle and they said that's engine damage and the engine will fail and probably soon. my oil was last changed 1600 miles ago, and in that time it got 1 inch over filled, gasoline is in my oil now. honda denies the heat and the oil dilution. you must intervene and help honda crv customers! there are thousands of u s experiencing this and honda refuses to help!! please help! i have a video of my engine rapping, compared it to other honda crv's and mine is definitely got something wrong!

Purchased vehicle nov 9, 2018. from 50-450 miles, had very poor avg mpg (avg 12-16 mpg combined). on jan 1, with under 450 miles on car, and within the first 1.5 miles of driving (driving on a slight incline), computer mpg indicator became erratic/blinking for about 2-3 minutes (indicated from 2 - 80 mpg and occasionally appeared as -------) then returned to higher than usual number. jan 2, started car, very strong smell of raw gas inside cabin (had to open windows) for about 3-4 minutes - reported to/made appt with dealer. jan 3, brought to dealer for appt, told no odor currently detected by service manager in cabin, nothing they could do and did not take car or provide repair order number. at 594, (feb 5) returned to dealer with strong smell of raw gas in oil (on dipstick and over engine with hood up). oil on dipstick appeared runny. dealer confirmed gas in oil, american honda instructed dealer this is not a problem and not to change oil. dealer changed oil as a courtesy to me. i am deeply concerned about the safety of this raw gas odor (if involved in minor accident, will vehicle explode) and deeply concerned about the ongoing damage to engine, powertrain etc. raw gas in cabin (even if sporadic) and oil is not normal. american honda has not yet returned my calls but has assigned a case number.

Purchased january 2018. noticed occasional gasoline smell, engine slow to warm up and oil level rising way above maximum. oil testing showed over 7.5% gasoline in crankcase. reported to dealer, who denied knowledge of problem. reported to honda of america and was ignored. i understand a fix is available for people in northern tier of states. i live in flagstaff, az at 7,000 feet elevation. temperatures similar to northern states.

Gasoline fumes are in the cabin while driving. oil level when measured on the dipstick is overfilled and smells like gasoline. the cabin takes a very long time to heat up on a cold day.

While driving back home from work suddenly my crv stopped abruptly and no cat, dog or other object was in the way for this to happen, if a car would of been near in the back it would of crashed my car because of this suddenly stop. i don't feel safe driving it anymore.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. while driving 5 mph with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle accelerated. as a result, the contact rear ended another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. there were no injuries. a police report was filed. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent body shop for the body repairs. the contact called lundgren honda of auburn at (844) 224-8641 (located at 163 washington st, auburn, ma 01501) and was informed to schedule a diagnostic appointment after the body repair was completed. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 23,000. the vin was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. the contact noticed an abnormal fuel odor while the vehicle was being driven. the contact checked the dipstick and noticed fuel in the engine oil. the vehicle was taken to team honda (located at 4613 e lincoln hwy, merrillville, in 46410, (219) 947-3900) to be diagnosed. the vehicle was serviced per manufacturer communication number: apas12142018901 (equipment, engine). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

My car was in park. the plastic trim piece that houses the controls for the seat, on the drivers side, has a trim piece that curves around to the front of the seat about 4-5". this trim piece caught my pant leg on my exit from the car and i fell out of the car onto the ground. the first time it happened was dec. 21st 2018, my body was sore for 2 days. i called honda and they had me go to my local honda dealer and have the trim piece replaced. 2 times now this trim piece has caught my pant leg on my exit from the car and i have fallen out of the car on to the ground. the second time the trim piece caught my pant leg was on january 23rd. 2019 and i fell out of the car on to the ground, wrenching my left shoulder, left hip and skinning my left knee. i have called honda both times and made a report. i do have a case #, but they are closed today so i will get the case # on monday.. i am sending 4 pictures the first 3 are driver side trim piece that is sticking out and the last one is passenger side trim piece that is nice and tucked in. big difference!!

Fuel in the oil, slow warmup and stalling

Car temperature gauge was not heating up properly. in cold weather when ideling would not move from cold position, therefore produce no heat. when driving it at 35miles an hour gauge would go up some ,and when slowing to 25 miles gauge would drop back down to cold, with no heat. car would also stall after it was started and left in park when i would get in to put it in drive. this would all happen during cold weather. honda did the recall because they found the gas and oil mixture problem. did an oil change and did the recall update on control panel and software.got the car back and it is still having the same problem with the temperature gauge dropping down to cold and loss of heat,when driving short trips. honda said they could not figure out how to fix it.

Car has a gas odor when driving, parked in the garage and idling. it permeates the cabin and garage. it has been this way since purchase, just assumed it was burning off something, but when it continued, it is ridiculous for a new car. going to dealer with complaint. causes health concerns due to exposure of fumes on constant basis

While driving in town and on freeway, noticed very strong fuel smell in cabin of car, enough to make kids complain in the back seat. had to turn off heat/fan. brought car in to dealer on 2/19, and oil was overfull by 3/4 quart due to fuel dilution. changed oil and filter. advised honda has no clue, watch oil. mileage: 3953. opened case with honda. 2/25 - drove 50 miles one way on freeway to go shopping. while going from store to store, strong fuel smell again in cabin. parked in garage at home, later had to move it out due to garage filling with fuel smell. 2/28 - oil overfull and smells like fuel, dealer changed oil and filter. no other solution. 3/2 - honda case mgr called, advised they are working on solution. until then, check oil every couple days and all oil changes will be warrantied. 3/3-3/15 - smelling fumes inside cabin again. nothing strong. just becoming the "usual". 3/15 - oil change number three, same reason. mileage 5475. ironically, i the beginning of feb, before knowing this issue, i had a dr appt. i advised my doctor that my asthma has gotten worse. it was exercise induced previously, but now it's flaring at random times and my chest hurts. i got a new asthma plan. come to find out, fuel fumes aggrevates asthma!!

Like many other 2017-2018 honda cr-v owners, i discovered a significant amount of gasoline in the oil reservoir of my vehicle after normal usage. in less than a month of ownership and less than 1,000 miles driven, my cr-v's oil reservoir was 0.5 quarts over full due to dilution from uncombusted gasoline. this problem and its cause have been documented by cr-v owners on multiple other websites and forums. when i pulled the oil dipstick from my cr-v's engine, i immediately smelled gasoline and recognized that excessive dilution had occurred. i am greatly concerned about the performance, safety, and longevity of my cr-v's engine due to this deficiency. furthermore, i am questioning the safety of the 2017-2018 honda cr-v given that multiple cr-v owners have documented stalled engines and engine damage due to this problem. i am thankful i caught this problem in my cr-v before the check engine light came on or before my engine stalled; however, oil dilution will continue to plague these vehicles until honda provides a long-term solution or recall.

The rear seat belt anchor is reversed on the center buckle. the anchor is on the center passenger's left side and the latch on their right. the rear driver's side passenger's latch is on their right, but on the far right side of the anchor. when a passenger or car seat is belted into the center seat, the seat belts obstruct each other, and when forced to latch, appear quite dangerous.

While on vacation, i had my 2018 honda, crv-exl parked for nearly 2 weeks. on our return, i attempted to start the vehicle. it would not start as the new battery was completely drained and dead. luckily i had a charger and charged the vehicle for 2 hours. i was then able to start the vehicle and idle it. during idle the display indicated problems in all operable functions. during a 45 min drive the system must have reset itself and the vehicle operated normally, this condition repeated itself about 1 month later with the same problems. i am schedule to have an electrical system check of the crv soon at the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. i hope they disciver the source of the problem.
