Honda Cr-v problems
The Honda CR-V (also sold as the Honda Breeze in China since 2019) is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1995. Initial models of the CR-V were built using the same platform as the Civic.
Honda began producing the CR-V in Sayama, Japan, and Swindon, United Kingdom, for worldwide markets, adding North American manufacturing sites in East Liberty, Ohio, United States, in 2007; El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico, in late 2007 (ended in early 2017); Alliston, Ontario, Canada, in 2012; and Greensburg, Indiana, United States, in February 2017. The CR-V is also produced in Wuhan for the Chinese market by Dongfeng Honda, and also marketed as the Breeze in China for the version produced at Guangzhou by Guangqi Honda.
Honda states "CR-V" stands for "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle," while the term "Compact Recreational Vehicle" is used in a British car review article that was republished by Honda, associating the model name with the Sports Utility Vehicle abbreviation of SU-V.
As of 2022, the CR-V is positioned between the smaller ZR-V (marketed as HR-V in North America) – which the CR-V shares platform with – and the larger North American market Passport/Pilot or the Chinese market Avancier/UR-V. It is currently Honda's best-selling vehicle in the world, and the second best-selling SUV globally in 2020.

Honda Cr-v 2024
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-27
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-27
- VIN: 7FARS6H96RE
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Car suddenly slows for no reason. No accidents yet. No police reports. Car suddenly slowing for no reason causes driver confusion and can invite rear end collisions from cars behind. Driving 45 mph with cruise control engaged on a two lane road, car suddenly slows to about 20 mph for no reason. It has happened 3 times randomly at about the same spot in one highway and and twice on other highways. Suddenly slowing while passing large vehicles causes driver confusion, invites rear end collisions, and the inability to safely complete the passing of the large vehicle. When driving 65 to 70 mph with cruise control engaged and passing an 18 wheeler, the car randomly suddenly slows to about the speed or the truck when it is about 10 feet from being nose to nose with the truck. Happens every 5th to 10th passing of an 18 wheeler.

- VIN: 7FARS6H84RE
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: Had all of the warning adaptive driver assistance systems malfunction off all of a sudden warning me to pull over and contact dealer. Car was driving fine but scared me so much that I pulled over. Awaiting to hear back from dealer. I bought the brand new 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid in January and it has 12000 miles on it so far.
Honda Cr-v 2019
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-27
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-27
- VIN: 2HKRW2H56KH
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: A few times, the car has braked suddenly even when there were no cars or people in front of it. The last two instances were particularly dangerous because another car was right behind me, and the car braked hard. My daughter was in the car during these incidents, so I've since turned off the driving assistance feature because I believe it's more dangerous than driving without it. I can say that this has happened more than eight times."

Honda Cr-v 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-26
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: 7FARS6H93PE
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: (1) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling specific 2023-2025 CR-V vehicles due to a defect in the steering gearbox worm wheel. This improperly produced component may swell during use, which compromises the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear. Furthermore, the worm gear's spring preload was set too high, escalating the sliding force between these parts. Consequently, the combination of reduced grease film and increased friction leads to greater resistance during steering. Safety Risk The heightened friction between the worm gear and worm wheel results in increased steering effort and difficulty, significantly elevating the risk of a crash or injury. (2) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is urgently recalling certain 2023-2025 multi-model year Honda vehicles due to critical defects in the high-pressure fuel pump. The improper production has led to the formation of cracks at the solenoid core component, which can result in a dangerous fuel leak during operation, especially in lower mileage vehicles. Safety Risk The presence of a fuel leak poses an extreme risk, as it can ignite in the presence of an ignition source. This scenario significantly heightens the risk of fire, crash, or serious injury, demanding immediate attention and action. I contacted the American Findlay Honda Management Department in Henderson, Nevada, only to be hit with a stark refusal; they will not place me in a new 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. As a long-time customer, I felt utterly bewildered and crushed by this response. Just weeks ago, they aggressively pushed this specific vehicle to me, fully aware that significant recalls were on the horizon. This is not just terrible news—it’s a blatant betrayal by management! I am seriously contemplating legal action against American Honda and Findlay Honda in Henderson, Nevada. Their actions scream deceit and predation; they are nothing less than crooks and sharks
Honda Cr-v 2020
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-23
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: 7FARW1H82LE
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: 1) “Collision Mitigation Braking System” (CMBS); CMBS still exists on this car. 2) Potential for getting rear-ended. 3) My brother with similar CR-V reports random CMBS braking. 4) No 5) CMBS first brake warning only after I started letting up off the brake pedal. CMBS produced 2nd brake warning just as it slammed on the brakes - AFTER distance between my car and car in front was already increasing (ie - no chance for collision). First appearance: I've been getting false CMBS brake alarms since purchase of car - this was the first time CMBS slammed on the brakes. I've heard other stories about CMBS type systems causing wrecks, etc... - I believe CMBS type systems need to be removed from all cars.

Vehicle year: 2005
I love my CRV, but I wish the heating system was better during the winter months. I've noticed that the higher I set the heater, the faster the gas gauge goes down, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Additionally, a bigger gas tank would be a great addition. Overall, though, I still love my CRV!

Congratulations on your new 2021 CRV Touring in Sonic Gray! It's great to hear that you've been a loyal CRV owner since 2002 and that this latest model has exceeded your expectations. The Touring model sounds like it has all the features you could want, and it's wonderful to hear that the cargo space is still excellent. We hope that the turbo engine proves to be both responsive and fuel efficient. Enjoy your new ride!

Vehicle year: 2024
I purchased the Hybrid L model with all-wheel drive and I am extremely pleased with it. The vehicle is smooth, comfortable, and quiet, making for a pleasant driving experience. I was able to fit luggage for four adults and a set of golf clubs in the back with ease, and the spacious back seat area is a definite plus. The back seats even recline, which adds to the comfort factor. With radar assist cruise and lane keep assist, driving long distances has never been easier. Although I miss the power of my v6 Accord, the CRV has plenty of pep for daily driving. This vehicle is perfect for small families looking to save money on gas. The only downside is that the vehicle does not come with a spare, only a repair kit, which is a common feature among hybrids. Additionally, my gas mileage is only in the 32-34 range, even though I drive a good mix of city and highway, which is less than the advertised 40 mpg. Overall, I highly recommend this vehicle for its comfort, spaciousness, and fuel efficiency.

Vehicle year: 2005
Your mom bought this car brand new in 2005 and gave it to you for your 16th birthday in December 2015. It's clear that your mom loved this car so much and it's great that you're enjoying it too! While the gas mileage isn't the best in the world, it's not bad, especially considering the size of the car. You can easily fit four friends in the car with no problem. Although the car started to have some problems when it hit 80,000 miles about a year ago, you've only had to replace the radiator, the head gasket, control arm bushings, and spark plugs, which totaled about $2,500. It's worth noting that besides tires and brake pads, you haven't had to do anything else to the car in the entire 11 years you've owned it. Overall, this is a great starter car and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Of course, it's always a good idea to get a pre-purchase inspection because every car is different.

Vehicle year: 1997
I've owned this little guy since it was new and have kept up with regular servicing. I'm happy to report that I haven't had any problems with it. Even with 170,000 miles on the clock, I've only had to replace the tires, brakes every 33,000 miles, and one battery. The original exhaust is still going strong! It's been through some of the roughest New England weather without any issues, even with lots of snow and living on top of a mountain. It doesn't burn any oil between oil changes and seems to be getting better gas mileage as it ages. There are no rattles or clunks, and I'm not easy on it at all. I've even hauled far more than the recommended 1000 lbs without any complaints or sluggishness. I'm so pleased with it that I'm looking for another 1997 model to put away for when it reaches 300,000 miles. Maybe I'll even give it to one of my kids then!
Are you having problems with your Honda Cr-v?

I bought my CRV 9 months ago and I absolutely love it! It's been such a great investment so far. My friend, who bought a 2010 Kia Sorento at the same time as me, unfortunately, has been experiencing some issues like oil leaks and electrical failures. I'm so grateful that I chose the CRV instead. Although I would have loved the 6-cylinder upgrade option, the 4-cylinder is still sufficient and the car is AMAZING on gas. This is my first Honda and I'm definitely not disappointed!
Donato Durgan 2025-02-19

I can totally relate to your experience! After reading the reviews, I realized that I wasn't the only one experiencing the same issues with my car. Despite being told that the vibrations were normal, it still felt like I was stuck in cruise control while driving. Even the engine vibrated violently on first start up, and when I brought it back to the dealer, they told me that it was operating as designed. It's frustrating to feel like you're not being taken seriously, especially as a female, but it's reassuring to know that others have had the same experience regardless of gender. In my opinion, it's not worth investing any more money into this car. I'm considering trading it in for a Guinean or Toyota. Interestingly, my previous car, a Santa re, was 8 years old and had over 182,000 miles on it with no issues whatsoever.
Preston Wyman 2025-02-19
Vehicle year: 2023
I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my experience with the car, which has been mostly positive. However, I have noticed that during MN winters, it takes a while for the car to heat up to a comfortable level due to the small 1.8 engine. If the temperature is below 30 degrees, it can take up to 15 minutes of driving just to get a little heat. Additionally, I have noticed that the blower strength drops off significantly when selecting the windshield/floor option, which means I have to constantly switch back and forth between just floor and just the windshield. This has been a bit frustrating, as I have never had a vehicle that does this before. As a result, I find myself juggling frozen feet and a foggy windshield. I did bring the car to the dealer, but they said everything is working as it should and that it's just due to the small engine. While I have had some issues with the car in cold weather, I still think it's a great car overall. Thank you for listening to my experience!

Hi there! I recently leased the 2019 CR-V Ex on 02/20/2019 and was excited to take it for a spin. Unfortunately, I started hearing some creaking noises coming from the dashboard/windshield area, especially when driving with the radio turned off. I took the car to the dealer's service department yesterday and they are currently investigating the issue. While they haven't found the source of the problem yet, they have been very helpful and are waiting for further guidance from Honda's corporate techs. I'm hoping to have this resolved soon and will update this review as I go through this process. Thanks for listening!

Bought this car used with 61,000 miles as a certified Used Honda. This vehicle is amazing! Now, with 183,000 miles on it, it's still going strong. I've only needed routine service and one tune-up so far. I changed the timing belt as normal service at 91,000 miles and the motor still sounds like new. I plan to keep this car until it falls apart.
