| Description of the problem | 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 |
