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.

2017 Honda CR-V Owner Comments

problem #1

Feb 012017

CR-V EX 1.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 150 miles

Turning the turn signal stick up (right) or down (left) causes a bad / spring-like vibration in the steering column. Up only causes it slightly, DOWN is very bad. There is definitely something wrong with the components. This is extremely annoying when using the turn signals and is not at all normal with cars.
