| Description of the problem | Vehicle: 2017 honda crv touring - 5 miles when purchased on 05/01/2017 - 2,000 miles when i first noticed there was a problem. I am at about 6,000 miles now. Initially i noticed a clicking sound emanating from the engine get louder over time. Additionally, in the winter, heat took a long time to come on. I was following a crv forum (hondacrvowners. Com) and noticed a lot of people start mentioning fuel in the oil. Then saw news articles about a huge crv recall in china's cold climate areas with the same symptoms. I then began checking the oil frequently and noticed a definite fuel smell on the dipstick and rising above the full mark. I have not noticed a fuel smell in the cabin, fortunately, as some have complained about, but this is not good for an engine. Two honda dealers have told me they are aware of the issue, but not to worry about it and to check the oil since no lights are on and scans show no problem. Of course! No problems yet, but most drivers don't check their oil and won't notice a problem until the engine completely fails and puts the occupants' lives in danger. |
