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.

1:L.S suspension is making clunky noise for long time.this problem was on and off but now its continuously making noise while I drive to a bumpy or small broken road. 2:engine was making roaring noise then I follow up with dealer with my recall notice. I don't know they fix it or not but still making this noise. 3:smell solid fuel/gasoline from the exhaust system.full tank gas giving me only 178 miles range but I'm not able to drive 150 miles even.I always take the silver gasoline which is $38 dollars for the full tank.sometimes more and more this is the biggest problem of car and my financial. I think my fuel is leaking and this could be something else. Credit karma showing me I have 3 open recalls which is one of them. But I didn't receive any mail any email or notification from them.

Our CRV has excessive uneven tire wear, at 17000 miles the tires were worn bald on the inner corners mainly on the rear of the car, the tires are approximately 7 inches wide and the inner 2 inches are bald, you cannot see this unless you bend down and look under the car from the rear, the outer corners wich you can see easily have sufficient tread wich can cause a serious saftey problem if S blowout occurs started a complaint with Honda and got nothing accomplished, they gave me a run around and blamed the tire manufacturer, it simply an alignment problem that they refuse to adress
