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.
* THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM DEMAND HONDA FIND A FIX
Purchased a brand new 2018 Honda CR-V Touring in October 2018 as a business office for my wife. The Bluetooth hands free phone is nearly unusable. There is EXTREME background noise. It is a digital sounding, pulsating, garbled noise - kind of like R2-D2 from Star Wars is chattering in the back seat. It comes and goes constantly every few seconds, but often gets to the point where it overwhelms the person's voice you're talking to and never completely goes away.
If you are riding in the vehicle, you do not hear it at all through the system and the caller's voices are crystal clear.
It does not matter if you are using Apple or Android, it affects ALL phones negatively regardless of brand, model, or cell carrier.
This is a SEVERE issue that should NOT be present in a $35,000 brand new vehicle using technology that's been around for well over a decade.
