Excessive Oil Consumption
2017 Honda CR-V
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

- Similar Issue With 2017 And Newer CRVs In China - I ended up on this website because I am researching my next vehicle and the 2017 and 2018 CRVs are on the top of my list. My 2010 Mazda 3 is still going strong at 160,000 miles, so I can attest to the importance of diligent maintenance--especially in the oil department. After reading many of the testimonies here, I began doing some additional research on the engine issue that many users are reporting on this thread. According to this article, similar issues with the 2017 and newer CRVs have been reported in China. Users voiced their concerns through a website similar to Twitter and now Honda is recalling around 350,000 vehicles in China to resolve the problem. The article indicates that Honda is updating the engine's gasoline injection control software. Based on the article and what I am reading in this forum, the issue seems identical to the one that many users are experiencing here. Perhaps if users also take to Twitter to make Honda aware of the issue, a similar recall can take place in the United States. Wishing everyone luck! I sure hope Honda resolves this issue before my Mazda calls it quits!

Oil level shows about 1/2 inch above the maximum/top mark on the dipstick (cold engine). Car hesitates to accelerate and makes knocking noise when in reverse.
