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.
My 2018 Honda CRV currently has 3500 miles, the push button on occasion will not start the vehicle after I have stopped the vehicle and go to restart it. It has been in the dealer twice, they have changed the stop/start button but because they can not recreate the problem they can not call Honda to ask how to solve the problem.
In addition, dealership has never heard of this problem with any other Honda. I am going back today because they have had the vehicle for a week and can not recreate problem so i will be left with videoing every time i start the vehicle to document the issue when it happens, which again is intermittent. Once the vehicle sits for roughly mins or so the vehicle will start up. When it occurs, the lights on the dash will go on, the radio will go on, but windows do not work and the car does not make any sounds that feels like it will turn over,
