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. Read more »

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.

My car is 15000 miles Honda CRV. yesterday I parked my car in a store parking lot and came back in the 10 minutes to go back home and I see the following issues.

1) My Trunk won't open even though the car is unlocked. 2) I get into drive my car and my car display goes blank i.e. speed display, gas fuel display, headlights ,left right signal 3) my ac is not cooling even though my car show AC is on.

4) my radio is working and my Bluetooth is working fine.

I come home somehow especially with a safety concern since the left right signal is not working and I was not sure if my brake lights were indicating to the driver behind when I was driving.

After an hour I checked the car and everything is back to normal. Not sure what the issue was and why would it get fixed automatically also.
