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.
So I had to replace a tire on my 2018 CRV Touring due to a nail in the sidewall and now it turns out that I get an annoying "TPMS System Failure" warning light on my info screen and on my dash. It completely blocks all the info on the drivers information display until I manually turn it off every single time I turn on the car. The dealer says there is nothing that can be done to prevent this unless I buy all new tires that are exactly the same for my car.
The tires on my car are factory and at 7,700 miles are pretty much new. It is a complete disgrace that 3 extra perfectly new tires also need to be replaced simply because 1 tire was punctured due to the way Honda's tire pressure monitoring system works with its rotational sensors. Honda needs to correct this stupid system fault or issue a software update that allows the tpms calibration to adjust to a different brand tire. I mounted a tires of the same exact size and specs and it is ridiculous that I have to buy all 4 new tires just because the TPMS system doesn't adjust to a new tire. I refuse to spend $800 on new tires simply because of this system flaw.
