CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends, & the 2017 Honda CR-V has at least two — overfilled oil levels with a gas smell, & heat not working.

Both problems affecting the Honda CR-V's 1.5L "Earth Dreams" engine appear to be related to cold-climate regions.

CR-V owners report overfilled oil levels due to fuel in the oil, & sometimes a gas smell in the cabin. That problem appears to be related to fuel injection which Honda hopes to fix via a software update. Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a "product update" in Canada.

CR-V owners also report no heat even after warming up their CR-Vs for 30 minutes — not even enough to defrost the windshield. So far, there has been no fix from Honda for this issue.

Paint very thin on car, and scratches easily.

Also car did not come with a manual. Oh, there is a disc you can get from Honda but I have had a few situations while driving that I would like to have access to a paper manual. There are no cds in the cars now so you are screwed if you need to resolve an issue while driving. I had this happen in the last few days and had to drive to the dealership to get the problem resolved.

This is probably my 5th or 6th Honda and will most likely be my last.

I think Honda cutting out cds, no manuals and the cheap paint jobs will see a decline in sales. As I mentioned I have had 5 or 6 Honda’s but think it will be my last. Nissan and Toyota make good cars so I will look at them the next time. Goodbye To Honda.
