Honda CRV Reviews

I took my 2019 Honda CR-V in for service to Honda in Hayward due to a screen malfunction. The screen beeps and the screen dims and brightens sporadically over and over when I'm driving. It's happened multiple times and the only way it will stop is if I pull over, turn the car off and turn it back on. This Honda glitch is a safety issue not too much in the day time although it is very distracting but especially at night when the screen goes full brightness and then dark over and over. Well I took the car in on Wednesday and as I explained my concern the service representative just nodded and said, "Okay. I know what you're talking about" but never actually said much. Hours later I get a call that my car is ready.

We had a 2016 Honda CRV that used to have a locking system that you had to push a button. The 2019 Honda CRV now has an electronic unlocking system. However, if your hand does not position correctly, it has one beep that it locked again. You have to withdraw hand and put hand in right position and get two beeps before it will unlock. This is ridiculous, especially in inclement weather! Go back to a button system. Neither the 2016 or the 2019 has convenient anchor hooks in the cargo area that are actually useful. The cloth seats are so hard I have to use a pillow to cushion my butt.

I purchase a 2014 Honda CRV. From day one every time I started the car the starter made a funny noise. With only 40,000 miles on it after 5 years I had to replace the starter. My mechanic told me it was an engineering issue as they placed the starter under or by the manifold which due to the heat of the manifold was burning the started out. Also due to the difficulty of putting the new starter in it cost me $695.00 (really for a starter but because the starter was placed by manifold that is what it cost me to replace.) One year later the starter is now making the same noise so I called Honda to see if they would cover the next starter. They told me no and the CRV only has 47,000 miles on it now. How dare Honda not cover this. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT EVER AGAIN.

I have leased two Honda CRVs (one 2016 and one 2018) over the last 3 years. During that time I have had lots of issues with both vehicles, resulting in me trading in the 2016 for the newer one, only to have the same or similar issues with the 2018. I have taken the 2018 to O’Brien Honda (formerly Brad Barker) of Bloomington, a Honda dealership in Peoria, a reputable shop in Decatur, IL and to a reputable shop in Bloomington, IL.

The transient electrical problems with antilock brakes and display are very unnerving. I even took an 8 minute video to the dealer and they said try to bring it to them during the occurrence. Will not purchase another Honda.

I like the car but I am not a fan of the visibility. I have a hard time judging when another car is in the blindspot area. The back side windows are small. The engine has good kick when I need it, and my tall kids have more than enough legroom in the backseat.

Our CRV is amazing. It runs like a race car (turbo) and gets wonderful mileage. It has a sea of electronic goodies for your safety and comfort. I sometimes joke I need a college course to operate it lol. I see many Hondas running still with over 250,000 miles as daily drivers. Get ya one and see for yourself...

I have a 2005 Honda CRV. It has been a great vehicle and I would definitely purchase another one. The only downside to the CRV is the newer models have a much smaller cargo area and I have two very large dogs that barely fit in the larger 2005 model. I may have to upgrade to a Pilot due to the smaller cargo size and the newer model.

The car is fun to drive, does well in curves. It is above average on mpg. I think that Honda could include a better quality seat belt, one that does not wrinkle.

I have owned a Honda Accord, Civic, Prelude and now CR-V. All really great cars. Thoughts about 2019 CR-V Touring. 1.5L turbo: Excellent gas mileage. (30 City is possible.) (Currently 32 after road trip.) There is an eco-mode which computer regulates fuel efficiency. Excellent solid ride. Holds road very well. Tracks straight without road wander. Great visibility of road. Excellent blind side alert system in side mirrors. A light comes on in mirror if car is in blind spot, and sound alert (beep) if you hit your turn signal and car is in blind spot. Excellent back up camera. Really looks sideways with alarm if there is traffic. Excellent luggage space. Even giant space with back seat down. Good looking vehicle. Areas for improvement: The 1.5L turbo has a growl or groaning sound upon acceleration from a stop. The CR-V needs more seat padding. The gauge cluster is deep in the dash and needs better visibility. The CR-V needs tire pressure visible.

Exterior looks great. Interior very spacious for this class. A lot of safety features but a finicky touch screen. Sight lines aren't great but sound system and comfort are. Engine is noisy for a 1.5 liter turbo-charged one and not powerful when merging on to highway traffic. Keyless entry and door lock system can be unreliable as well as the the hands free trunk hatch opener. Overall I am happy with my purchase of 2019 Honda CRV.

Top of the line 2017 Honda CR-V, cost less than fully loaded Subaru Outback. Extremely comfortable front seats, lots of room in backseat. Starting to have some trouble with right rear window, and GPS is finicky.

We’ve owned two over the last 12 years. Very little trouble with regular maintenance. Only problem we ever had was with the Air conditioner in the first one we bought and that was covered by warranty. Very happy with price, service and dependability on this car!

I bought a new 2016 Honda CRV AWD EX. The vehicle currently has approximately 220,000 miles on it. I still drive it, commuting over 120 miles four times a week. It handles the snow with ease. It has been an extremely reliable and capable vehicle and I will not hesitate to buy another Honda.

I love my 2002 Honda CRV. It still drives like a charm. Low maintenance even after all this time. Have only had to replace the tires and catalytic converter. It's AWD handles the snow nicely. All in all I have been very pleased with this purchase.

I'm happy with my 2015 Honda CRV because it rides good, looks good, has lots of great features, gets decent mileage and is reliable. I changed the tires and wheels and keep it clean. I get compliments and questions about it in parking lots. People think it's new.

I have owned four of these vehicles. The last two have been the best and most comfortable cars I've ever owned. I always buy the expensive models which is the touring but if is optioned just the way I like them. I do not like the Hankook Tires. They are not up to the same level of quality as the car. They generate a lot of road noise in a very short time.

Well thought out and designed car. Many advanced safety features makes it a dream to drive. The CRV has come a long way from a fairly utilitarian rig to a luxury model. The Garmin Nav is a vast improvement over the old clunky Honda Nav system.

Brought the car home new. Lock it up, someones knocking at the door in the evening. Neighbor asks if I left the rear hatch up/open. I hadn't, car had all doors closed and locked when I got home. Go shopping and locked the doors but find them unlocked when I get back. Neighbor notifies me again that hatch is wide open. Have to take the car in for servicing. Map constantly malfunctions and can't locate common, long established buildings or roadways. When dealer could have downloaded updated maps on their super high speed internet they tell me to go home and do it.

I have been a Honda CRV owner for over 7 years, this is my second CRV. I love the vehicle. Very reliable and versatile for an SUV. Will recommend this vehicle to one and all. Rides very smooth on highways and on city roads.

My 2018 Honda CR-V practically drives itself. Honda focuses on excellence, durability, dependability, and comfort. There are so many features on this car. For instance, the cruise control will automatically slow down if the traffic ahead of me shows down, and resume the set speed once it gets moving again. The windshield wipers are automated. They come on when it rains and go off again when there is no moisture. The headlights are also automated. They not only come on by themselves when it starts to get dark, but they also auto switch between bright and dim. And it also lets me know if I cross one of the lines or if a car suddenly brakes in front of me, it will also brake automatically. It has great gas mileage, I am at 29.8 mpg so far and it has been slowly climbing. It is comfortable, and roomy. And it is a very stylish car!

HONDA CRV'S vehicles are good and they run a long time. It seems like they have good mileage for the roads and they are dependable for going to and from your appointments. They have been very good cars and a lot of people have them.

I recently purchased a 2019 Honda CRV with a full cash payment. I was very happy with my purchase...until a neighbor called and told me all of my windows were down and that it was starting to snow. When I went outside, all of my windows were down! I went online and found that this is a “feature” on news cars that no one is warning buyers about. It happened again the other day, and I have no idea how long my windows were rolled down for.

Excellent safety features. Comfortable ride. I love the fact that it is slightly higher than a Sedan. It is easier to get in and out of. Negatives- When you drive over a wet road the water gets on the inside of the door. I took it to the service department with no positive results. 2nd negative. I love the automatic hatch back lift. However, I think there should be an optional netting across the back. When you open the hatch back you can not keep items from falling on the ground if you have a heavy load or the items shifted. I have had things fall out the back and the other day I saw a stroller fall on a lady when she opened the back.

This small SUV is perfect for me. It is easy to get in and out, not low to the ground, or so high you would have to climb up into it. The backup camera is great, with several angle viewing options. I have found the versatility of the back seats extremely useful. I can fold up the seat bottom, or fold down the back. I like sitting up higher than a car, but not having to maneuver a huge vehicle in traffic. The camera coming on with the turn signal is wonderful, it allows you to see what would otherwise be a blind spot. I highly recommend the Honda CRV!

I just purchased my fourth Honda. The reliability and body integrity have been better than any other car makes I have owned. Service is good - I can even take my car in when the tire pressure is low and have air put in my tires. I have never had small annoyances such as loose trim, rattles, etc., that I have had with many other brands.

Reliable, good gas, good set up with iPhone, nice storage space, though seems to be a lot of plastic on the outside of the car, which is cheap to fix since I have been dinged a few times but overall a great car.

Our Honda CR-V has a leather interior, which is great for pets as the hair doesn't stick to any fabric. The seats are way comfortable and we have the heated option - great for chilly days. It's too hard though to plug in the phone in the console however, so they missed the boat on console features. Overall we like the car~.

This is the best car I have ever had. I have had this suv for 7 years and I have 248 thousand miles on it. All that has been done to it is normal maintenance. New battery, tires, breaks, rotors, some suspension parts, and vtec valve. I have towed a lot of trailers as well. I can't say enough about the performance. Bought Michelin tires, rotated them and they lasted slightly over 80 thousand miles without an alignment. Gets about 27 to 28 miles per gallon all around. I have an all wheel drive and it performs excellent in the winter. I live in the country on a private rd, Whither Hills, and the crv navigates the driveway well. I will purchase another crv when I do purchase another vehicle for my wife.

2017 Honda CR-V. I love the space, cargo room and comfort, but I don't feel like I'm driving a boat. Very comfortable car to drive. I've never had adaptive cruise control before, and now I can't live without it.

I bought a CRV EX in September 19 2018 and it had some problem with the brake pumps since it was a week old (300 + miles). The Dealer Roush Honda in Columbus Ohio, replace the parts for a “supposedly better parts than the substandard parts from India used at the assembly line”. The breaks have not work properly for the most part, and event though I complain several times, the dealer claim the noise in the brakes was normal. Two weeks ago, a metal to metal sound when you step on the brakes lightly when backing up, I took it to the dealer, and they told me it was “a few rust pots” on the routers, they shave them off some without my knowledge or authorization and charge Honda for it since the car is still under warranty.

I have a 2018 CRV-Touring. Will be a year this November, nothing but problems with this vehicle and no help whatsoever from Honda Canada with it all! First was vehicle stalling and lights flashing saying problems with injectors, roadside picked it up only to have at dealership for 4 months to tell me I had 4 bad injectors and fuel pump! Not 1 day out after 4 months AC not working with having full blast hot air coming out of vents only to make me drive another 7hrs to dealer as I am 3 and half hour from there to tell me, "Oh we'll filled up your AC with dye. Come back in 2 weeks to check if there’s a leak!"

Horrible buzzing when using bluetooth microphone in vehicle. Had replaced TWICE and still the issue returns. WHY is Honda not fixing this issue? Complaints all over the internet and for a $34000 vehicle this should NOT be an issue.

I have a 2016 Honda CR-V Touring. The sound quality when the phone is on Bluetooth is horrible, especially when I am driving on a highway. The incoming sound is incredibly muffled. The outgoing sound sounds like the person is in a wind tunnel. Honda has replaced the unit once with no success. I spoke to overall customer service and their response was to continually take it to the dealer or other dealers for 2nd opinions. I am so disappointed because my 2012 Honda CR-V is better quality. This is my 6th and possibly last Honda. The local dealer has been great but they obviously cannot fix a design issue. :( Might trade this in for a non Honda. I really thought they stood behind their vehicles.

This model had way more to to offer than the luxury brands. The safety features came with the model. I certainly got more for my dollar. I needed a safe SUV to keep me focused on the road. Love the lane cross over warnings. The ride is comfortable. Love my seats heat in winter months.

2015 Honda CRV Transmission Failure. On June 7, 2019 returning from trip (cruise) driving from Cocoa Beach to Nashville, my car quit pulling and had to pull off the interstate. It would not go forward or backwards in gear. My car has 50,000 miles and I have owned it for 4 years. My VIN is **. My son was driving behind me and he purchased 2 quarts of transmission fluid and put it in hoping the car would pull. It did not help it so I had it towed to Lang-Dale Honda in Valdosta, Ga. They said it had 4 quarts too much fluid and that voided the warranty on the transmission. I told them my son had put the 2 quarts in to see if would help and that we have never had any additional fluid added. Please help me with situation.

I purchased a Honda CRV 1.6 DTEC 160 EX new in 2016. The clutch failed after 32000 miles and just over 2 years old. I had to pay for a new clutch and fly wheel repair. Less than 9000 miles later and still in the 3 year warranty the gearbox was replaced by Honda. Less than a week later the clutch failed again. Honda did not accept any liability and I had to pay for another clutch and flywheel replacement. Honda said it was "driver error". The last new vehicle I purchased (not Honda) did 198,000 miles when I sold it and never required a replacement clutch. I have never had a clutch replaced in all the vehicles I have owned. I would never buy another Honda. They do not care once they have sold you a car.

Second CRV. We took to dealership for warranty water leak. At this time Battery also died. Still have 8 months on warranty. First of all the service rep told us we might as well buy a new Battery then get the free one on warranty, because it could go out and it would not be covered. Second, we have water pouring in at antenna. They are going to fix the leak, but want to clean the swollen headliner. Anyone who has any car experience knows that the headliner is exposed to extreme heat, and the cloth is attached with glue. So this is now compromised. We did not buy this way and do not want it dropping in a year when the warranty is up. Plus, there is a mildew smell to it. I hope they get this correct, this is our 4 Honda but is making me think differently for next year.

Search 2015 Honda CRV vibrations and see what I mean. The class action suit has been thrown out, Honda says they have done everything to fix problems. I have all their so called fixes done, car still vibrates. Service manager told me they all vibrate and there is nothing he can do, told to complaint to HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. Honda has admitted the problem after receiving so many complaints, but just tried to cover up the problems. The fixes do not work.

Honda CR-V 2018 didn’t alert driver when engine off and not in p. This week, I exited my CR-V at a gas pump, and when I turned back to it, it was leaving the gas station, picking up speed, and went across a busy street (fortunately no cars at the moment), jumped a curb, went down an embankment and slammed into a concrete bridge abutment, avoiding it traveling onto very busy I35 south. The front left side of the car is crushed, no airbags deployed (possibly due to no one in the drivers seat but TBD), and it had to be towed away.
