Question 1

Infotainment freezing and rebooting (CR-V 5th Gen)

Accepted Answer

The touchscreen infotainment on the CR-V 5th Gen can freeze, reboot by itself, lose Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and respond slowly. Software updates fix most cases.

Question 2

Fuel in oil (oil dilution) on the 1.5 Turbo

Accepted Answer

On the 1.5 Turbo, especially in cold climates with short trips, fuel can dilute the engine oil, raising the oil level, causing a gasoline smell on the dipstick and possibly accelerating wear. Honda released software updates and extended the warranty on many 2017-2018 CR-V and Civic models in cold states.
