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 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.

Noticed crunching when turning left or right, especially into a parking spot. Really noticeable, very annoying and nerve wracking thinking the steering would lock up. Brought it into the dealer and thankfully we had extended warranty coverage BUT I have researched this and there are many many complaints similar to mine. The mechanic said this is a "known problem to Honda" - SO shouldn't this be a recall?? I just picked it up and the total was $2494.14! If we didn't have the extended warranty, we would of had to pay that!!
