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.
Several months ago my 2017 Honda CRV stopped blowing cold air when A/C is on. There is also hissing sound coming from the dash board area whenever the A/C is turned on. Finally decided to take to the HONDA dealer, in League City Texas, where i bought the car, and they checked it out and said the noise was coming from the fact that there is a seal leak on the compressor. A seal leak on the compressor and cost would be around $1700 to fix as they would have to buy a new compressor and charge ($900) labor ($800). The car only has 42000 miles on it.
Of course I am told I'm no longer under warranty (warranty ended at 36,000) and that I should have bought the extended warranty. How the heck is there a seal leak on the compressor for a car just 4 years old? So if there is a seal leak on the compressor, why not just replace the seal, as opposed to buying a new compressor? HONDA HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO... CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO SERVICE. HONDA DEALER, NO DEAL!
