Default Looking to buy a used CRV

My local dealer has a good selection of used Honda CRV's (various trim levels) available for sale. Most are low mileage lease returns. My main question is are there are years of the CRV to avoid due to issues. The years they have are 2020; 2019; & 2018. See link for heating issue as an example.

as much as i am a honda fan, if honda does not want to fix the problems that the crv's are having with the 1.5 turbo, avoid that specific vehicle. if you are in a cold climate area. why subject yourself to grief, its your money, purchase something that is equal to the crv if you need to get that type of suv. we purchased a HR-V. no problems so far other then the repaired thump sound in the back. if i need a bigger vehicle, i will get the Ody.

or if you buy one of those years stick with the LX models. they still had the 2.4L which is there best.. my 2011 CR-V SE has the 2.L and 160K still runs strong. i kept it even after buying wife a 2021 CR-V. traded in my 2013 Accord i never liked how that CVT shifted.. BUT the new 2021 CR-V models, ALL come with 1.5L Turbo eng now.. so wife got her way with the EX.... so i'll be changing oil more often to be safe.. even though Honda say they fixed gas leak down??
