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 Touring with less than 20,000 miles has had the a/c system stop cooling two times. Thank goodness I have an extended warranty. The first time Rudolph Honda (El Paso TX) charged ~$1800 and I was asked to pay a deductible of $100. The a/c stopped cooling again within two months. This was covered by the extended warranty. I think Honda’s reliability is in question. If there are other owners with the same problem, we need to request recall and fix.
