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.
Picked up brand new car on Feb.28,2018. Went on vacation from March 6 to March 20. On first drive left signal light indicated problem. when dealer opened hood they discovered rodent nest and wires that had been chewed through. I was informed that Honda not responsible and that I would have to go through insurance. I am presently waiting for estimate. Told by dealer that this was a common problem. I learned on the net that people are complaining because the wires are covered with soy that attracts rodents. NOT HAPPY!
