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.
Apple Carplay keeps disconnecting every 2 to 3 minutes and becomes nonfunctional. Dealer tells me to live without it and this is a brand new car. Bluetooth audio also is nonfunctional. The phone is able to connect and be used as a phone but no music or maps functions are able to be used. I tried hard and soft resets which did not fix the problem.
