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.
My mother was driving this vehicle. Came up on a stop sign and applied the brakes. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor board. Car seemed to lock up and begin accelerating even has she continued to pump the brake pedal. Car was uncontrollable, crossed two eastbound lanes, crossed over the median, crossed two westbound lanes, hit the guardrail, went over the guardrail and began flipping over, landing on its top down a 200-250 foot embankment. This accident caused serious, life threatening injuries to my mother. The car is a total loss. I've heard there have been others with this same issue. What recourse do I have with Honda?
