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.

Left town for four days; 2017 CR-V EX AWD (odometer 496 miles) was in parking garage. Upon return, the car did not start! Jumped the battery and took car to dealer. Per dealer testing, battery failed performance test (0 out of 410 CCA, test code 14P2J-MHL1L) and the dealer replaced the battery free of charge.
Other 2017 CR-V owners (EX trim or higher) are describing the same issue (http://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/137-2017-present-official-specs-features-etc-gen-5/136138-dead-battery.html). Of note, I always engage the parking brake before turning the engine off, so contrary to Honda's statement to service reps, I don't think the parking brake is causing a parasitic draw in my particular scenario. Will keep an eye out to see if anything else (security system, perhaps?) is causing a parasitic draw on the battery...
