CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends. Judging from the identical 2017 model year, the 2018 Honda CR-V is likely to have 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.
Noticed small rust spots surfacing on the hood, inside the doors, door seams, and hatch seam after only 30,000km! Vehicle was always washed regularly. Was told that it was a problem across brands due to impurities in the metal that was used during production, but more noticeable due to the white colour. Fortunately we caught it while still under manufacturer's warranty (just!). Sold the vehicle as I did not have faith that the rust would not return.
