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 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.

Whenever I take foot off brake, the engine accelerates. The RPMs go to about 1100 and goes between 5 &7 mph without touching gas pedal. I brought back to dealer and they checked and said everything is at factory specs. I feel that should not accelerate to that extent. This could be an accident ready to happen. I have been driving for 55 years and have had many new cars. I don't remember any car ever doing that.
