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.

2018 Honda CR-V Owner Comments

CR-V EX 4 cyl Turbo

The cruise control is possessed. It will not maintain constant speed going downhill and accelerates. It also is sluggish recovering from momentary disconnect-reconnect. After my visit to the Honda Dealership 8/27/18 #82904 it is still doing the same stuff but NOW HAS ADDED when driving along it will apply brakes when I engage it. THIS CR-V IS A POS.
