2017 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #1557784
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE filed April 14, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1557784 (ODI reference 11196108) concerns a 2017 HONDA CR-V and was filed on April 14, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 4, 2019. The vehicle had 34,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CR-V cohort independently describe similar engine failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I OWN A 2017 HONDA CR-V 1.5 TURBO FWD AND MY VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM THE AFFECTS OF 'OIL DILUTION.' I REGULARLY HAVE MY OIL CHANGED BY HONDA, BUT I NOTICED, UPON RETURNING FROM A LONG TRIP IN NORTHERN INIDIANA OVER WINTER, A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN CHECKING MY OIL-DIPSTICK AND THE VOLUME WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO HONDA, I WAS ADVISED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM FOR ALL 2017-2018 CR-V 1.5 TURBOS WITH RESIDUAL GAS DRIPPING INTO THE CYLINDERS AND EVENTUALLY THE OIL CRANK-CASE, CALLED 'OIL DILUTION'. I ASKED THE HONDA TECHNICIAN TO CHECK FOR GASOLINE IN MY OIL, BUT THEY SAID NO SUCH TEST WAS AVAILABLE. HE ADVISED ME THAT NO FIX CURRENTLY EXISTS, ASIDE FROM MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES. I THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH THE LEAD TECHNICIAN AT MY DEALER TO RESOLVE THE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT I WAS VERBALLY TOLD THAT HONDA DOES NOT INTEND TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNLESS LITIGATION IS MANDATED. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM POSSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THESE VEHICL
