| Description of the problem | Smelled gasoline in and outside the car. Car never warms up. Heat does not work. Engine oil smells like gasoline & significantly over full mark on dipstick. Took vehicle to honda dealer late november 2018. Parts took several weeks. Completed 12/17/18 honda update 18-114. Heat never worked over winter, car never warmed up unless driven in "l" for an extended period of time, smelled of gas & engine oil level exceeded full mark. Took into dealer & dealer measure engine oil over 1 inch above full on dipstick. Honda service advisor consulted with honda who stated this is a "normal" characteristic of this motor. Nothing was done to fix issue & deemed excessive gasoline in the oil as being normal. Engine continues not to provide heat & occassionally smells of gasoline. Dealer states if car is primarily used for short distances the vehicle does not have time to warm up & burn off excess gasoline in the injectors. I have lived in the same house for 15 years & in that time had 7 cars. My commutes & overall use of vehicles has not changed but this is the only car to experience this issue. |
