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.

5 times that I can remember my CR-V has locked itself when the keys were in it. Three times I was in the vehicle and could not unlock the doors to get out of the car. Once I had a friend and her 4 year old twins with me, and the windows were up and it was over a 100 degrees. The car was in the sun with the windows up and we could not get out. We had to call the Fire Department, to break into the car.
The dealership says they cannot replicate the problem, so they will not fix it. This happened the day I picked up the car when we bought it. Neither key would open the car. It took over an hour for the service dept. to get in. They told me the battery was dead. Humph. First Texas Honda in Austin, TX has blocked my phone number so that I can't even call them.
American Honda just says too bad, we cannot replicate these problems and they say they've never heard of any of these problems.
