The vehicle does not heat up when idling which mean remote start to clear the ice from the windshield and warm the cabin does not work. Honda told me it has to be driven to produce heat. They've replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system. I have to drive to work down a decline for 8 miles. After 4 miles the engine gauge begins to rise and then by the time i reach 8 miles (bottom of the hill) the engine…

Our 2017 honda crv exl has a climate control issue when temperatures get below freezing and the problem gets worse as the temperature lowers. The vehicle engine will not warm up and of course the climate control will not warm up the vehicle cabin. The only way we can get any heat inside the vehicle is by circulating inside air but when you do that,the windows fog up and of course you have to use a rag to keep fog…

Gas is mixing in the oil of our new 2017 honda cr-v. The 1.5 liter engine does not warm up sufficiently in cold weather, runs rich, and leaves un-combusted gas in the oil. This triggers engine warning lights and requires frequent oil changes. Engine performance and drivability suffer. This problem is also being reported on social media by other honda cr-v owners who drive in colder climates. We are concerned that it…

On both of these occasions i narrowly avoided getting rear ended and being forced into the car in front of me, due to the fact that the car behind me swerved to avoid colliding into me. I have also experienced many failures of my honda sense system whereby my adaptive cruise control…

Oil volume increases over time. Ok smells like gasoline and turns black. Heater barely works in the winter. Honda has acknowledged the problem and suggested more frequent oil changes due to fuel dilution. However they refuse to pay for the oil changes. I have documentation of the issue from my honda dealer.

Oil crank case is too high due to excess fuel in oil. This causes fuel smell in cabin and stalling of the engine. But more importantly, the engine will suffer from premature engine wear and failure due to lack of lubrication. This is not a cold weather issue as my dilution need happened in the summer and i only do highway driving with long duration. Honda refuses to fix the problem.

Oil has strong smell of gas, and oil level consistently rises over time until oil change completed. Around 500 miles after oil change the gas smell returns and continues to get stronger while also increasing the oil level well above the low and high on the dipstick. Has happened for over a year since i first discovered many other 2017/2018 crv owners discussing the problem online.
