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.
For two weeks prior to taking the car to the dealer for repair, there was a lot of heavy rain in our area. Every time it rained, all the sensors around the car went off and the brake system lights flashed. A few hours after the car dried out, things came back online. Fortunately, there were no accidents, despite the fact that we were often in heavy highway traffic when it occurred.
