| Description of the problem | While driving on a city street, the engine of our 2018 honda cr-v (1. 5 l turbo) suddenly lost power and smoke began pouring out of the exhaust, this happened during rush hour on a busy portland, oregon, street on a dark and rainy october evening. Thankfully, the driver of the cr-v managed to get off the street and roll into a gas station without getting rear-ended. The cr-v was towed to a honda dealer's service department, where the cause of the problem was identified as "oil level above spec." rising oil level is a common problem in 2017-18 honda cr-vs, caused by dilution of crankcase oil with unburned gasoline due to an engine design flaw well known to honda. Driving a vehicle with an engine that could fail at any time/place is definitely a safety issue, and the affected honda vehicles should immediately be recalled in the u. S. They already been recalled in china! |
