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.

Noticed a couple months ago my drivers side window has started to make a cracking/creaking sound whenever I hit a bump or make a turn. Basically anytime the car shifts. At first it wasn't all that noticeable but now it occurs quite often. It makes me thing that the seal or something related to the window seal is off/broken. I noticed the rubber window seal/trim on the outside of the window(inside the top of the car door) appear to be bent in some. I tried to pry it out to be flush against the door like the rest of the trim but it won't budge. None of the other doors have the trim like this. Considering taking the car into the dealership. Car is only 2 years old so this should be covered by warranty.
