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