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.

While driving my 2018 Honda CRV with 35k miles on the odometer cmbs engaged brakes. Was going 25 mph with a vehicle following me, no vehicle in front or pedestrian crossing. Seems to be happening to many others in this forum. Filed a complaint with nhsta and will bring the SUV into the dealership once they open up from this 3 day weekend. Appears from the forum that Honda does not have a fix or acknowledge a problem exists. This is disappointing, will have to see what the dealership has to say about it when i bring it into them to have this problem checked out.
