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 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.
Brake system failure light came on. The car was running but couldn't shift in any gears and wouldn't move it. Turned it off and tried it again a few hours later and no issues this time. However, every time I start the car, the parking brake is engaged so I have to disengage it. On 07/05 I am taking it to the dealership to check the issue and safety of driving it.
Yellow brake warning light flashes on three times and along with 3 audible beeps while driving. Dealer has had vehicle for 12 days now since 30 Jan 2018 and declares they haven't found a fix or cause. They claim everything they have checked reflects no problem software wise and found no physical problems with brake system. They have tried several times with software updates but brake warning lights still comes on while driving. Dealer service manager is now finally involved after lengthy discussion about their poor customer service. He said Honda hasn't been cooperative either in resolving this problem. I have registered a complaint with Honda about this problem and the dealers poor customer service. I'm also mad about the vehicle poor heating performance and will address that in another complaint.
Update from Feb 26, 2018: After thirteen days at dealership they found that the weather front cover (due to the poor production of vehicle heat) I had locally fabricated and installed on the front of the grill was blocking the camera (located under the Honda emblem) view. They removed the front cover everything seems alright now. I had the weather front modified to as not to block the cameras view. The heat problem is still not resolved and open in another complaint, 02-26-2018.
