| Description of the problem | Stationary:gas intrusion into oil. Dipstick reeks of gas. Oil viscosity appears watery. Strong gas smell in garage after parking (heated garage) - takes 6-8 hrs to dissipate smell driving and stationary: strong gas smell into driver/front passenger area, outside perimeter of car and under hood - smell appears to come into cabin with heater on through vents. Windows have to be rolled down and heater off to get rid of smell - my eyes water, throat becomes tight and nose starts stinging immediately - headaches start after approximately 30 minutes of driving and continue for 4-5 hrs as do the other symptoms this cabin/under hood gas smell has happened with outside temps from 28-60 degrees. Gas smell is more concentrated after driving and parking the car and then turning off engine and returning to car to start engine within 10 minutes to 4 hrs - it literally makes me nauseous and dizzy. This happens whether car is in garage, driving on city street or highway. Has become worse the past 6 weeks (car was purchased new in june 2018) from honda dealer in central illinois. It currently has 2500 miles on odometer what about a fire under hood from excess fuel not being burned off? I am concerned about my health and emissions have driven many types of cars for over 50 yrs and never had these gas intrusion issues or oil intrusion from fuel what happens when i need to "air car out" because of smell and it's raining or snowing? The potential for engine damage in concerning - example: how does gas mixed with oil, lubricate an engine and its related components properly? Why is there excess build up of fuel in oil pan? Why am i subjected to the noxious, hideous, and sickening gas smell in cabin? Therefore, i would expect at a minimum extended drive train/engine warranty to 6 yrs from honda which was granted in canada and want gas smell eliminated |
