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 have owned Honda's for 25 years, always found very dependable and economical to own and operate. This significant repair at less than 100,000 miles is bad for brand image
Just another nightmare with this vehicle. As dozens of other users have posted my fuel injectors are shot. First symptom was starting car and the whole car shakes due to rough idle. OBD threw a code for P0303 which is cylinder 3 misfire. Honda refuses to cover this $1200 repair. I've had cars 15 years old that still had original injectors. They issued warranty extension for Pilot and Ridgeline injectors for same model year, but so far not for CRVs. Shame on Honda for not standing behind their products. Warning to anyone buying one of these used, do not buy unless injectors have been changed and it remains to be seen if new injectors are any better.
Computer throwing "Number 2 Cylinder Air-Fuel imbalance. Code: 219D. Emission System Problem". I don't expect a low-mileage babied Honda to have a such a problem.
