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.
The engine makes a whining/chirping sound when the A/C is on. The car can be cold or warm does not matter. It makes noise. There is a sound similar to water running. I am not sure what that is. I can turn off and on the A/C and the water-like noise will go away, but the chirping sound will stay on. I went to Honda, but they said they could not here it.
I reported to Honda about the chirping sound vibrating in the engine area whenever I turn on my air conditioning. They asked me to bring the vehicle in and I did. I told the representative that it sounded like the fan belt. They say that is not possible because the new technology has no fan belts. They gave back my car but did not do anything about it because there is no fix. They said they hear other customers complain about it but there is no fix to-date. Then dismissed me.
