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 took my car in for an oil change. The mechanic showed me how little tread I have left on my tires. I thought this was a joke! I have only had the tires for just over 30K and they were all highway miles, no hard wear. We researched the tires and they are only rated for 50K, which is a complete joke but the reviews are terrible. Most people don't even get 25k out of the tires. I have NEVER purchased a car that had substandard tires on it. From what I am reading, no one will take responsibility for this. Well, we shall see.
Brought in for a standard oil change and had some premature tire wear. Found out the manufacturer won't cover it and Honda isn't standing by the product. I've bought BMW, Acura and Chevy and never had I had to buy tires at 16,400 miles. All miles are highway due to work situation. I thought this would be a good purchase since I had a Honda growing up. The quality of the product has increased, but the service has taken a tremendous hit. I'll definitely be trading this vehicle in ASAP. I'll never purchase another Honda again.
Purchase a new Honda CR-V in March 2018. Switched to our winter tires last fall, just put the all weather tires back on and notice two have significantly worn. Honda dealership won't do anything for us. We'll probably get the rest of the nice weather out of them but we'll definitely have to purchase new tire next spring. This is my first Honda purchase and probably my last. Have always driven Chevy's, usually traded in after 5 yrs., never had to buy new tires. Hard to trust a company that would scrimp on such an important feature of a vehicle!
Honda Canada refuses to accept responsibility for this substandard tires they are installing on their product, was told its a manufacturer problem. Bridgestone has responded with its a normal wear and tear!!! Not even one year of ownership and now we have to replace all the tires. Very poor customer service for a "quality product".
Hydroplaning in light rain, can feel rear end jerking side to side. Dealer is clueless. MPG shows 29.xxx, if correct. Rear tires worn out (3/16), nearly equal wear.
Computer has been coding, but the dealer only found B1202, B1203, cleared them, said come back in a week. We had tire pressure warnings with good pressure, start warning while driving, and headlight warnings.
Given the apparent decent mileage, simple brake drag seems unlikely. Tire spin also seems unlikely, such as start, hill, heavy loads, or tow.
Behaves like a seized posi-track. Turning around in a drive, you get some "scoot" like you feel if driving a 4wd engaged on a hard surface.
Since most everything is computer controlled, ie braking traction, and supplemental RWD system, it may be electronic. Minor rear brake wear in excess of front brake wear points to system problems verses pure mechanical issues.
