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 report overfilled oil levels due to fuel in the oil, & sometimes a gas smell in the cabin. That problem appears to be related to fuel injection which Honda hopes to fix via a software update. Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a "product update" in Canada.

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.

problem #1

CR-V LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 700 miles

Clunk noise in rear of vehicle began while driving on uneven pavement at around 10+ mph. The car had roughly 700 mile on the odometer. Clunk did not occur while going over speed bumps or while in park and pushing up and down on rear end. It only occurred on uneven pavement/rough roads. Spent 3.5 hours at the dealership with my 2 1/2 year old for them to diagnose problem. will have to return for the fix when the part arrives.
