2017 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #1558665

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE filed April 17, 2019

NHTSA complaint #1558665 (ODI reference 11196890) concerns a 2017 HONDA CR-V and was filed on April 17, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 1, 2018. The vehicle had 15,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia 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. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

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

FUEL IS MAKING IT'S WAY INTO THE OIL SYSTEM. EVERYTIME I CHECK THE OIL I CAN CLEARLY SMELL GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. I KNOW THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED 350,000 CRVS IN CHINA FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME 1.5 TURBO ENGINES HOWEVER, WHEN I TELL THE DEALERSHIP OR HONDA REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT IT THEY ACT AS IF IT IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR ON THE ENGINE AND POTENTIALLY BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE ENGINE WERE TO STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS.
