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.
This problem of the assisted cruise control is very dangerous and caused a very serious accident on 11/2/20119. I have repeatedly taken it to the dealership and they have said they cannot replicate it and they will not fix it. The last time it happened, the car was stopped on the freeway. I was 2 car lengths behind a truck, with ACC system engaged and my car simply took off and sped up very fast. I was pushing on the brake so hard that I bent the brake pedal. The car was pushing into the truck and the engine was roaring. I had to turn the engine off to get it to stop. There was more than $20,000.00 worth of damage to my car and I do not know about the truck. This has happened 2 other times. No crashes occurred the other 2 times. We will not and cannot sell or trade in this car, it may kill some unsuspecting innocent. The dealership said they would sell it to someone else, unrepaired, because it is intermittent.
