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.
Terrible, strong gasoline smell inside the car. This site wants me to "describe the problem in more detail so it's more helpful". The smell says it all. Terrible!
Brand new car smells of gas, I thought it was on my feet from the gas station but it doesn't go away. Occurs upon start of driving, odor of gas near driver and back seat smells the same. When parked in garage for the day, there is a gas smell lingering. This is very concerning on a new car and has caused headaches and breathing problems. This occurs on a regular basis it is not a one time occurrence, pretty much every time it is driven!!!
