CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends, & the 2017 Honda CR-V has 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 report overfilled oil levels due to fuel in the oil, & sometimes a gas smell in the cabin. That problem appears to be related to fuel injection which Honda hopes to fix via a software update. Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a "product update" in Canada.

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.

Had 2nd oil change done on 2017 CR-V by dealer at 8046 miles and they also topped-off fluids including washer fluid.

Brought vehicle home and a washer fluid puddle formed on garage floor for the 1st time within 20 minutes. Brought it back to dealer a couple times and finally it appeared leak was at grommet where filler neck attaches to reservoir. Rescheduled and they replaced grommet (7608-TLA-A01) and leak has lessened but not stopped. It is still wet at the grommet. Need to bring it back again.
