Button on shifter that allows you to move from park to R/D reverse/drive broke a small plastic part inside cracked and could not move out of park.was about to have car towed to dealer when I figured out that I could put my finger and slide down the release, then drove straight to Dealer. Service representative told me that this is a common problem with 2017 CRV and of course no recall yet, so a 5 cent piece of plastic totally knocked out my $40,00 Honda, wonder how many people had to get their car towed to dealer for this defect?/

Door seal misformed - door seal ordered. Infotainment intermittently won't boot with car start requiring car shut off/restarted. Had to complete a soft reboot because infotainment froze. Intermittent warning that power was lost has occurred. Dealer says problem too intermittent to fix. Hot soak fuel type smell occurs after vehicle fully warmed up, shut off for 5 to 45 minutes, restarted. Smell comes through ventilation and is noxious. In certain situations smell present during extended idle when vehicle fully warmed up. Dealer appointment was day temp was -26 air temp and of course I wasn't able to replicate and neither was dealer. Vehicle was remotely started. Within one minute of remote start I entered vehicle and depressed pedal and pushed start button taking vehicle out of remote start loop. I immediately exited vehicle with engine running and the doors locked as they are programmed to when I walk away with key. Upon return engine was running, doors locked but I was not able to unlock door with key fob. Warning on dash "keyless remote not detected". I had to find second key fob to unlock doors. After shutting engine off the first key fob worked again.

Oil fuel dillution problem, vehicle primarily driven highway. Dealer reports no fix at this time for rising oil level other than warranty oil changes. Oil level rising occuring in less than six start cycles and 300 miles. If problem ignored oil level will rise to critical drivability stage we're check engine light, misfire, and engine damage. Oil changes currently needed every 1500 miles. This vehicle is not used in short trips, but trips at 70mph for 25 miles.
