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.
Called Honda, they told us to bring the CR-V in and they would check it. Once I brought it in they said the glass needed to be repaired before they could do anything. I asked what if the sunroof doesn't work after the glass repair? The tech said he was sure the sunroof would still be working. I asked him to test it now. The sunroof did not work and he told me that we had probably mistakenly tripped the fuse. REALLY?
I had the glass repaired and the sunrooof is working, but I feel this should have been handled better AND covered by he warranty.
