| Description of the problem | My 2018 honda cr v has the 1. 5 litre turbo engine. I have reviewed several hundred complaints that have been filed regarding the mixing of the fuel/gas with the engine oil. The issue seems to be more prevalent in the north, however, i have the same issue here in oklahoma. Upon engine start there is a strong odor of gasoline coming from the rear passenger seating. I have also noted increase oil levels in the engine crankcase. Also the smell of gasoline coming from the oil dipstick. I am writing to inquire if honda motor company intends to do something to remedy this issue. The smell starts at the moment the engine is started.. The car can be stationary and i can still notice the smell of fuel. Prolonged exposure of fuel in the crankcase will certainly reduce the life of these engines. Please advise me as to how i can resolve this matter with honda? Thank you. |
