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.

Rear middle and left set belts are crossed which prevents left side (behind driver) passenger from buckling up.

The rear seat belt anchor is reversed on the center buckle. The anchor is on the center passenger's left side and the latch on their right. The rear driver's side passenger's latch is on their right, but on the far right side of the anchor. When a passenger or car seat is belted into the center seat, the seat belts obstruct each other, and when forced to latch, appear quite dangerous.
