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.

Engine does not start dash board shows all the error messages. After 10-15 mins it works fine. Took vehicle to dealers 3 times and kept overnight to fix. No solution provided. Raised 2 tickets with Honda they are irresponsible and stopped contacting me for solution. Hundreds of people facing this issue.
While on vacation, I had my 2018 Honda, CRV-exl parked for nearly 2 weeks. On our return, I attempted to start the vehicle. It would not start as the new battery was completely drained and dead. Luckily I had a charger and charged the vehicle for 2 hours. I was then able to start the vehicle and idle it. During idle the display indicated problems in all operable functions. During a 45 min drive the system must have reset itself and the vehicle operated normally, this condition repeated itself about 1 month later with the same problems. I am schedule to have an electrical system check of the CRV soon at the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. I hope they disciver the source of the problem.
