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.
I AM FROM SRI LANKA. I BOUGHT CRV VTIS 5 SEAT BRAND NEW MODEL FROM A PRIVATE IMPORTER. THIS WAS MANUFACTURED IN THAILAND TO AUSTRALIA. IMPORTED TO SRI LANKA FROM AUSTRALIA. WHEN I RECEIVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE HARBOUR ON 28.11.2018 THE CAR AUDIO SYSTEM SCREEN SHOWS SOFTWARE UPDATE. TRIED TO CORRECT THIS BY SEVERAL WAYS AND GOT OPINION FROM MANY TECHNICIANS BUT FAILED. TECHNICIANS DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO SEE WHETHER IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE. EVERY THING FAILED
