CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends. Judging from the identical 2017 model year, the 2018 Honda CR-V is likely to have 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.

Got my Honda CRV in Mar 18...no issues with Android connecting to radio...then one day the whole panel went black...had issues connecting to Pandora wirelessly. This fixed its self...got a iPhone 8+ and have had nothing but problems...I don't spend $32K for a car for the radio not to work especially when they no longer come with CD players...and it's a lease so I'm really stuck now. Dealer replaced the radio, took 8 hrs just to download new software to fix, then 3 days later no Pandora again and now I can't even connect via Bluetooth nor USB and my iPod no longer works either. Honda has no response as of a week later. Can I go back to my Android? yes but who says that will work again too and I've just spend $800 for an iPhone I can't return!
