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.
Honda Canada refused to cover the cost of repair, even though the issue was identified as a premature failure by the service department. As a result, I have incurred financial losses, including the repair expense and the depreciation of my vehicle, since its resale value will be negatively affected.”
All Warnings Lights on. Morning misfire when cold with a sweet burning antifreeze smell from the exhaust. Vehicle enters limp mode at random, no power and hesitates during acceleration. Coolant reservoir is clearly low but the failure is just starting.
Appears to be common or starting to be common based on the time this engine has been on the road.
