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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When the vehicle is not driven for a few days, battery is dead. There is a parasitic drain going on with the battery and Honda is not addressing this problem. This has happened numerous times. The battery has been replaced twice but problem still exists. Dealer cannot fix this issue. Have read reports of vehicle stopping while people are driving it because the battery dies.
My 2017 Honda CRV was just little over 25k millage and A/C stop working, only blow hot air. It was very dangerous to drive during heavy rain condition in summer. It is a very serious safety matter and it should be a recall for a fixing. I don't understand why Honda ignored so many complaints and not fixing it. It is completely ruin its reputation all over the years they have developed in USA.
As I was driving out of town, my A/c stopped working. It was over 80 degrees outside but we were able to roll down windows. However, it became a real safety issue when it rained and I was on a major interstate in another state. My windows fogged up and I couldn-??t get it to clear because there was no A/C. My repair shop says compressor is bad. It appears to be a relatively common problem.
On multiple occasions, the audio/information display screen has gone completely blank or black. It worked in the back up mode where I could see behind my car, but would not display any controls, climate, audio, phone etc. The screen was completely black. After turning on/off no change. After leaving the car off overnight, it worked the next day. Again this happened at least 3 times over the past year.
Air conditioning system broke just over 3 years after purchase. Just outside dealer warranty period. I believe it is the AC compressor. From what I'm reading online, this is a very common issue for the CRV models in the years 2017-2020 and should be subject to a recall. No warning signs before it went down.

The air conditioner wasn't cooling. We tested and found the driver's side was only blowing 68 degrees and the passenger side was 55 degrees at the lowest setting. I took it to the dealer and they found a leak in the discharge hose. Please see the attached fix and invoice. I believe these suvs should be re-called and that I should be reimbursed the $100 deductible I had to pay for it to be fixed. Thanks!
Dear NTHSA, Since last fall/winter my 2017 Honda CRV air conditioning system makes noise and has stopped cooling when its hot outside. This is a relatively new car with low mileage (24,000). I am taking it to my local dealer www.pierceyhonda.com for diagnosis. Are you aware of air conditioner problems in newer Honda CRVs like mine that are failing to cool on hot days like what I am reporting. Please help at your earliest convenience. Sincerely 2017 Honda CRV Owner
During a routine drive, I heard what sounded like a piece of plastic fall into my cup holder area. I glanced into the cup holders and surrounding center console area, but did not observe anything that may have fallen into it. The vehicle continued to operate as normal so I continued to my destination. When I arrived, I went to put my vehicle in park, but then noticed that my gear shifter actuation button was missing. I was only able to get the vehicle into neutral, but not park or reverse. I looked down on the drivers side floor, but did not see the missing actuation button. My next thought was to get out of my seat and look for it under my seat. When I took my foot off of the brake pedal, the vehicle started to roll because I was on a slight grade and still in neutral. I then set the parking brake to hold the vehicle while I searched for the missing button. I finally found the button and the spring that goes with it laying on the drivers side floor almost under the seat. I observed the actuator and could see where it was actually broke, but I was still able to insert it back into the gear shifter handle and put the car into park and shut it off. To get home later, I had to wrap some electrical tape around the button so that it would not fall out again. When I got home, I could not turn my car off after parking because the electrical tape was preventing the actuation button from fully disengaging. I later removed the tape and covered the entire shifter knob with a small sock to hold the actuation button in. Currently looking into recalls and repairs.
My air conditioner is not working and I'm very concerned. Iv been searching and this particular year seems to have a lot of problems with air conditioning not properly working.. it just blow hot air. For a vehicle only 4 years old does not seem right.. I believe the air compressor is working (engaging)
On the way down from grapevine along I-5, warning lights showed on my dashboard, e.g. tire pressure monitor problem, emission system problem, brake system problem, etc..., I panic and exited the freeway. I opened the hood to cool the engine. After about an hour, I restarted the engine and the warning lights disappeared so I continued my travel. However, after about 40 miles, the warning lights came up again. So, I exited the freeway again. We called service dealer in bakersfield and based on our report he said the computer may not be talking with other parts. He asked us to bring it in. But this dealer is some 30 miles away and it's too far from home. I restarted the engine again and the warning lights went away after the engine has cooled down. So I went back to the freeway driving slowly and carefully until there was a slower truck in front of me. I tried to overtake the truck then I felt like something snapped, the same warning lights came out and I can feel the engine was losing power so I parked on the side and decided to have the car towed since it can stall in the middle of the road putting our lives in danger. When the car was towed to the Honda dealer close to home, it was diagnosed as initially fuel pump problem with an estimated cost of about $2,000. But the parts will take about a week to ship due to hazard issues. They offer to buy back our car but at only half the price that we bought it. It's almost four years old.
Took my car in April 30 when dash lights began cycling through all diagnose brake problems, engine problems, etc. They told me it was my brakes pay $400 to get them fixed on May 8, took the car back with the same problem Honda dealer in bay ridge
1st owner 2017 CRV with 51000. Driving down highway. Check engine and all safety assist failure. Drive for a few days and light reset. Few more days and again this happens and engine also looses power. (have newborn in the care and 3 year old).obd reader displays codes P0304 and P0172. Take it to the dealer and reprogram the computer as their is extended warranty on oil dilution problem. Re-test and 4th fuel injector faulty. Not covered by power train warranty. I call Honda and they are trying to "goodwill" part of the $1500 cost rather admitting that there is a fuel injector issue like on other models. Could of ended in a major car accident with children! very disappointed in Honda.
Our SUV continues to have issues with the dashboard. It shows errors then it won't start. We are rebooting it at least twice a month. We have replaced the battery and had to call roadside assistance. The incidents happen while driving.
I turn the car on and the screen shows multi function failure problems vsa hill start road departure drive carefully system all. After restarting 10 or so times problem stops
This vehicle does not get warm in the winter. I live in Michigan and heat is important. I understand it is an ongoing problem and I want to know what Honda is doing about it.
When coming to a stop or even stopped when breaking the car engine will rev almost as if I take my foot off break it would accel. It's has done it several times over the past couple months
Honda CR-V button used to engage the gear shifter crumbled apart when trying to shift the car into park out of drive position. The car was stuck in the drive position until brought into the Honda dealership to have the shifter button replaced, creating a potential safety issue where the car is stuck in a specific gear position. The button break was not caused by any known direct mechanical shock and may have been due to thermal shock or temperature/humidity cycling.
