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.

The gps will not accept any information on choices, then without reason the screen will got blank. We have heard popping noises sometimes. Once it went blank when we adjusted the heater.

The car has been to 2 Honda dealers and neither has been able to duplicate the problem.

There is never a rhyme or reason when it happens but its very frustrating and afraid will finally happen and be out of warranty.
