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.

Every time my wife would get out of the car to get gas and leave her purse with the key bob in it in the car, the car would self lock. This has been brought to the dealer and he says they can not recreate the happening so there is nothing that they could do for us. However, going online you can find several individuals with the same problem. So obviously the only way to solve the problem is to put your purse around your neck or put an extra bob in your panties!!! Is it dangerous?? Well what if an infant is in the car in 90 degree weather, and you can not get in the vehicle, what would you do? Smash the windows or call 911!! Come on Honda, this has to be fixed before a tragedy occurs. I am getting tired of having to go rescue her with the second key bob.
