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.
Engine does not warm up in winter and no cabin heat. Only time it heats up if I drive 10 miles or more on highway, useless around the city in winter.
Update from Aug 27, 2021: No cabin heat and engine temp does not move at all in cold Calgary weather. I would like to join a class action law suit against Honda. Any information re class action appreciated.

No cabin heat in cold weather and engine gauge stays on cold. Also has oil dilution.
We have driven Hondas all our life, will never buy another one.
