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.
I had recall done of fuel pipe fixed and has gas in cabin smell that this would fix it. Started to notice every now and the gas smell in oil cap and dipstick. Smell of gas in cabin. This happened after I picked up car in 9/2017. Then I called Tony at Dealership Honda and said my car smells like gas. Told by him is is normal. I felt sick and so did my daughter. It happened again and reported it and took back after oil change in 2/2018 and on 3/3/18 and said that it is oil smell. Well why is my cabin smelling like gas? Got dealer manager involved as he did smell gas. As of today, my CRV is still there at service waiting on fix. And engine shakes so bad too it makes me nauseous when idling and driving.
