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 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.
3d time for this Christmas Tree of warning lights (ACC/LKAS/Road Departure/TPMS, Collision Mitigation Brake Sys, & Brake Indicators Msg.) The fix (they say) is to "update the multipurpose camera software using the i-HDS" Since they've fixed it twice (not sure if they did this TSB fix but can't fathom they didn't), the problem still occurs randomly?? I've got 10 months of warranty left, so I'm scared I'll have repeated trips after the warranty where I'll have to pay. Wonder if I can turn all that crap off?
Since just after purchase, I have had the Honda CRV to the dealer multiple times. Nothing ever found. Warning lights, like "BRAKE!" when there is absolutely no reason to brake. I get warnings about changing lanes, when I'm not. I had the screen go blank and a "Check Antenna!" message appear. Screen also just freezes up. Dealer never finds any issues. Fun car but does weird and sometimes dangerous things.
the dealer said the sensing unit was out of alignment and reset code. also there is a knock in the rear on smooth or bumpy roads and they could not find it....
The lane control warning system is intermittently giving warnings when getting close to lines, often not when drifting to the right (like toward the shoulder!). We have turned it completely off then back on, and with and without cruise control and nothing seems to be helping. The dealership says they did a factory reset once, but it is still intermittent. We will take it in again tomorrow for try #2 .
Once the question to us was whether we were on a curve.
NOT HAPPY - brand new car that rides well, great visibility, but we got it for the extra safety features since we do a lot of road time. My daughters equally equipped Mazda MX-9 has never needed similar 'tweaks'
