WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA CRV EX-L IN OCTOBER OF 2017, WITHIN 5 MONTHS WE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMALL IN OUR CABIN. ONE DAY I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL BY PULLING THE DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1 FULL INCH ABOVE THE FULL MARK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OIL ON THE DIPSTICK REEKED OF GAS AND WAS VERY DARK AND WATERY. I IMMEDIATELY DID A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS ISSUE, KNOWING THAT OUR LAST OIL CHANGE WAS LESS THAN 3,000 MILES AGO FROM OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND I WAS SHOCKED WITH THE RESULTS. THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH THE 2017-2018 CRV WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE ARE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS CALLED OIL DILUTION AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS IS GETTING INTO THE OIL BUT THE REASONS ARE UNKNOWN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND HAD MY CAR IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE AS MY OIL HAD SO MUCH GASOLINE IN IT THAT IT POURED OUT LIKE WATER. THEY SCHEDULED A CALL WITH HONDA ENGINEERS THE FOLLOWING MONDAY AND THEY WERE ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN. THEY DID SO AND THE GAS VOLUME FILLED UP VERY QUICKLY IN THE NEW OIL SO THE NEXT STEP WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS. BASED ON MY RESEARCH ONLINE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROCEDURE PERFORMED WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THE INJECTORS WERE REPLACED ON MY CAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME, CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN FULLY FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND ONCE AGAIN IT'S WELL ABOVE THE FULL MARK WITH A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. I'VE CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST PLAIN SUCKS. LACK OF EMPATHY, LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THIS BEING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND NO RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS. I'M CURRENTLY FIGHTING WITH THEM, PLEADING TO GET A EXTENSION ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AS THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ENGINE DAMAGE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED.

MY 2017 HONDA CR-V IT'S A NEW BROCHE WITH ONLY 3,800 MILES AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OIL LEVEL RAISING DRASTICALLY, SO BAD THAT I HAD TO DO AN OIL CHANCE AT ONLY 3,000 MILES WHEN THE FIRST SERVICE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE AT 5,000 MILES. IT'S BEEN 800 MILES SINCE THE OIL CHANGE AND THE OIL LEVEL IS WELL ABOVE THE SECOND MARK ON THE DIPSTICK WITH A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR, YES, FOR THE LITTLE EXPERIENCE I HAVE WITH VEHICLES I'M MORE THAN SURE THIS ENGINE IS MIXING UP GASOLINE WITH THE OIL, REASON WHY THE OIL LEVEL GOES UP AND LOOKS THINNER THAN NORMAL ALMOST LIKE WATER. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE OIL DELUDE DRASTICALLY THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL FOR LACK OF LUBRICATION, AND THE WHOLE POWERTRAIN WILL BE DAMAGE! HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUES ASAP OR RISK MANY CARS NEEDING A NEW ENGINE SOON! MANY PEOPLE IT'S HAVING THIS ISSUES WITH OIL DILUTION AND HEAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY PLUS AN STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND OIL COMPARTMENT!! I DRIVE MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES A DAY MIXED DRIVING, HIGHWAY AND CITY!!

MY CAR IS A 2017 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED ENGINE AND 3200 MILES. ON 3/18/2018 I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 180 IN PENNSYLVANIA WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED, LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS REPORTED MALFUNCTIONS IN THE DASH DISPLAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH EXCESS GAS (APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART) IN THE OIL. THE OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, AND A TECH LINE CASE (REF # 4089104) WAS OPENED WITH HONDA. I WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO PERMANENT RECALL OR FIX. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN COLD CLIMATES WHERE THE CAR IS USED FOR SHORT DRIVES AND DOES NOT WARM UP COMPLETELY. SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED THAT ALL CRVS WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CRV-EX WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND PLAN TO GIVE THIS CAR TO MY NIECE AS A GRADUATION PRESENT IN 2019. I TOOK IT FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE, AT 137 MILES, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS GASOLINE IN THE OIL. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE (2017 HONDA CRV OWNERS WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE) IN THE USA HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DETAILS ARE LISTED IN THE HONDA FORUMS AND ON EDMUNDS. I ALSO SAW THAT HONDA WAS RECALLING 350K 2017-2018 CRVS WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE , IN CHINA, AS THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. IT APPEARS THAT THE FUEL EJECTORS WERE SUPPLYING TOO MUCH GASOLINE AND THE RESIDUAL GASOLINE WAS LEAKING AROUND THE CYLINDERS INTO THE OIL. I REQUESTED HONDA-USA TO GET ACCESS TO THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE VIA MY LOCAL DEALER (BOCH HONDA WEST IN WESTFORD, MA). IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE. HONDA-USA SENT ME A RESPONSE INDICATING THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND I SHOULD GO BACK TO THE DEALER. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER, AGAIN, BUT THEY CANNOT DO MUCH WITHOUT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I TOLD HONDA-USA THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY CONCERNING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE ENGINE REMINDED THEM THAT THEIR DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM OF GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE AND THAT BOTH I AND THE DEALER WERE CONCERNED.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.
