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 bought the 2018 CRV new and immediately noticed the noise. It is significantly louder than any car I've owned. It's very difficult to hear the passengers in the back seat or the passenger seat. I must turn the radio up very high in order to hear it. I have not changed the tires that came with the car but don't think I should have to! Overall, the car is way too noisy to be enjoyable - especially on longer rides and on highways. The noise does increase when I accelerate.
