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.

The electrical sensing system gives random warnings, screen goes black, fluctuates highway speed with cruise control on, alerted to hit brakes immediately although no obstructions present. The system randomly displays false positives and triggers warnings. On 5/12/19 and 6/5/19 when lane departure light appeared, the car slammed on the brakes. I was almost rear ended on 6/5/19. Borman Honda in Las Cruces, NM has violated their warranty because they cannot fix the problem. The car is dangerous to drive and Honda has not been helpful at all.
