MY 2017 HONDA CR-V HAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. ALSO, THE OIL LEVEL RISES ABOVE THE FULL MARK INDICATOR ON THE DIPSTICK. A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTS WHEN THE HEATER IS ON. ALSO, HEATER DOESN'T APPROPRIATELY HEAT UP THE CABIN. CONSEQUENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS FUEL ODOR PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RESULT OF GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT. THIS PROBLEM IS CALLED OIL DILUTION AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS MAY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALSO, IT IS HAZARDOUS TO BE INHALING GASOLINE FINES COMING FROM THE VENTS. NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE IT'S CAUSING TO THE ENGINE ITSELF. HONDA HASN'T TAKEN ANY ACTION TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

I SMELL GASOLINE IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. I'M REALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE MY 2 YEAR-OLD SON IN THE CAR WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME. THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE SOME HEALTH ISSUES. THE OIL LEVEL SHOWN ON THE DIP STICK IS ALWAYS HIGH AND HAS HEAVILY GAS SMELL WHEN DIP STICK IS PULLED OUT OF ENGINE.

ON 12-5-2018 I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP 12-7-2018, SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND WENT IN TODAY. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT SAID ALL THEY CAN DO IS CHANGE THE OIL AS THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM OF FUEL GETTING INTO OIL ON MY 1.5 TURBO. (THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2015 BASED ON DOCUMENTATION FOUND ON THE INTERNET.) WHEN I GOT READY TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP THE GAS SMELL STARTED UP AGAIN SO THE OIL CHANGE DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE HELPED. SINCE THIS HAS STARTED I'VE ALSO STARTED GETTING HEADACHES WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT MY VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE OR BREAKDOWN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO.

MY 2017 CR-V EX-L HAS THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE. CURRENTLY READING 1.5 INCHES HIGHER THAN THE MAX FILL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK. VEHICLE SMELLS SO BAD...LIKE SULFUR SMELL OR GAS. IT IS AN OVERPOWERING SMELL AND MAKES ME NAUSEOUS. THIS CAN OCCUR AFTER IDLING FOR A FEW MINUTES, OR AFTER DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY FOR 30 MINUTES. IT IS NOT JUST A SHORT DRIVING DISTANCE ISSUE. HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS, AND YET CONTINUES TO SELL THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX THAT WORKS. TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. AFTER DRIVING THIS FOR 2 YEARS WITH THIS ISSUE, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE ON MY ENGINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. FUMES THAT FILL THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ARE NOT HEALTHY OR SAFE. AT SOME POINT, THE OIL ISSUE COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD OR THE ENGINE COULD FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. WHY IS HONDA NOT BEING FORCED TO FIX THIS WITH A RECALL AND/OR BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES?

WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FUEL DILUTION IN THE ENGINE OIL THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH 2017-18 CR-VS WITH THE 1.5T ENGINE ARE EXPERIENCING. WE LIVE IN VA. I FEEL AS THOUGH I DON'T NEED TO GO INTO DETAILS AS THIS ISSUE IS SO WELL KNOWN, PROMPTED A BAN ON SALES OF THE VEHICLE IN CHINA, ETC. THEY KEEP PUSHING BACK THE RECALL AND NOW ANNOUNCED FOR THE FIRST TWO MONTHS, IT WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN SELECT NORTHERN STATES. A SIMPLE SEARCH THROUGH COMPLAINTS SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ISOLATED TO THE NORTHERN STATES, IT MAY BE EXACERBATED BY SIGNIFICANTLY COLD WEATHER, BUT THE WAY THEY ARE ROLLING OUT A RECALL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IT'S UNSAFE (CAUSES STALLING VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN TRAFFIC, WHICH IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN) AND CAUSES PREMATURE WEAR ON THE ENGINE (A CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUE). NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ACCELERATE ENFORCEMENT ACTION, E.G. MAKE THEM ACCELERATE THE RECALL TO ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, NOT JUST JUST ARBITRARY CLASSIFICATION AND ORDER BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIVE ON ONE SIDE OF A STATE LINE OR THE OTHER. IT GETS COLD IN VA TOO. THE HONDA DEALER BASICALLY TOLD US WE'RE OUT OF LUCK UNTIL THE RECALL, AND TO KEEP CHANGING THE OIL.

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.

To date, ODI has received a total of 1,081 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in the subject vehicles. A total of 24 complaints alleged a crash and 42 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, 84 injury incidents and 40 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA24002) to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. Further the scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.

Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking
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.
