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 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 key fob will automatic open all windows and moon roof if unlock button is hit in a certain sequence accidentally. Also, you can accidentally open tailgate. Honda needs to have a disable feature. Both of these have happen twice on me.
On January 25, 2018, I went out & got into my 2017 Honda CR-V touring, started it and then got out and ran back into house for a bottle of water. When I came out, my car had traveled across the street (flat surface) and had lodged against my neighbors tree. What caused the car to come out of gear or if I had left it in gear, why wasn't it rolling when I got out" have there been problems of this nature with this make/model Honda" I incurred approximately $4,000 damage and I wasn't even in vehicle!
The "tailgate cover" detached and flew off while driving on the interstate at 70 mph - not turning, stopping, or decelerating. Thankfully, it hit the road surface and not another driver! upon stopping and closer inspection, there are three (3) broken plastic peg-like things still in their connectors. There are two screws with broken plastic around them. There are three white ports with no pins connected, leaving me to assume those three connecting pins were not adequately engaged leading to the failure.
On a day with significant winter weather I drove my vehicle and when I arrived at my destination and parked I was unable to open the drivers door. The state of the door lock didn't matter. I called a friend who came over to help. They said that the exterior door handle had failed to retract fully. They pushed it in and the door was subsequently able to open. The failure of the exterior door handle to return to the closed position appeared to be due to a bit of ice. The apparent situation is that if the exterior handle is out of position then the interior handle can fail to open the door.
