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.
Here is the letter I sent to Honda, I requested full refund since this is a known issue with defective fuel injectors on the 2017 CRV. > They said it is my problem.<
I am writing in reference to a repair that was made on 29Jul24 by Mohawk Honda (Scotia, NY 12302) to my 2017 Honda. The car came in with the check engine light on, Mohawk Honda diagnosed the problem to be too rich of a fuel mixture, indicating a faulty fuel injector. They replaced all of the injectors using the fuel injector kit indicated on the RO. To this day, this is the most expensive repair at $1536.39 that I have ever made on any vehicle that I've owned in my 50 years of driving.
After the repair I spoke with the service advisor that was assigned to my vehicle. He told me that there is a known problem with sticky (Defective) fuel injectors on 2016 - 2022 vehicles and Mohawk Honda has replaced several fuel injectors on these model years because of this problem.
Now I'm wondering, Will this happen again on this vehicle. Also, I'm looking at purchasing another CRV, will there be issues with that one? What will the long term reliability and repair costs look like?
Since the original fuel injectors that were used on my CRV were defective. I am asking that Honda Motor Corporation please reimburse the total cost of this repair. The outcome of this will most likely influence my decision regarding the purchase of another CRV.
