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 drove the 2018 Honda CRV on February 9, 2018 between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. (CST) between Oak Park, IL and Evanston, IL 60208 and experienced the following serious car malfunction problems.
While driving on the interstate highway, the car started vibrating, lost the speed, stalled in the middle of the highway, several warning lights came up on the dashboard. I had to restart the car in the middle of highway and slowly drive the car to the shoulder. It was a near death experience as several trucks and cars were travelling on the highway and my car stalled in the middle of the highway. I could not take the picture of the dashboard warning signs as these issue went away after the restart.
