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.
This car is less than 5 years old and the sensing system failed even though there has never been an accident or any reason why this part should fail and be so expensive to fix. Even the cap needed to be replaced.
This is the second time parts have failed that should not have failed. 2 years ago the shift knob broke while out driving and this was very inconvenient.
The Honda Sensing shuts off every time there is moderate rain or snow. There is nothing blocking the front radar nor any of the windshield sensors. Honda Sensing was one of the primary reasons I bought this vehicle. However, it is totally worthless if it doesn't work when it is especially needed during inclement weather!
