Honda CR-V

"Paint peeling on hatch above rear window"

"Peeled paint on hatch"

""The clear coat on the roof has worn off. As a result, the paint color is fading and in some areas the base metal is showing.""

""The rubber seal surrounding the piston of the left rear brake caliper degraded; water was able to enter the piston and rust. This cased the piston to not be able to move freely resulting in the left rear brake pad to cease to reliably disengage causing a shearing noise and premature brake pad wear. I am relatively handy; the issue went on for about a month until I was able to self-diagnose it. I spent about 1.5 hours replacing the caliper myself from a remanufactured on purchased for about $95 from O'reilly Auto Parts. The fix was easy enough, and I am pleased with the quality of the part. I am also overall pleased with my 2014 CR-V, as the car is 11 years old, and the brake caliper I removed was the original, OEM caliper from the factory which was present on the car when purchased. I have not had any problems with the braking system prior to this issue, and I have not experienced any problems with the braking system since replacing the caliper. This car has shown me 11 years of reliable braking with only one relatively minor repair needed in that span of time, that minor repair being the replacement of the caliper. I can't say enough about Honda's quality and reliability, especially on my 2014 Honda CR-V EX.""

""We had all four breaks replaced, within 3 months one of the rear brakes prematurely needed to be replaced, after two visits to two different shops the cause was determined to be the calipers. Those were replaced and then six months later the front passenger breaks failed while driving and it was determined it was fhe calipers there as well, we ended up replacing the break pads three times and the calipers and all four of our tires because of the uneven wear""

"normal wear"

"The car needed re alignment after torsio bars repaied"

"My CRV has a shudder whenever the speed gets to around 35mph and has had this since it was less than 3 years old. The only thing that seems to fix it (briefly) is transmission fluid change."

"I don't remember exact details---stopping felt weird and they said rotors were bad."

"No power from plug"

"I have had this problem three times in the past five years. It stops working and I have to lock the doors manually. Then when I get ready to take it to the dealership for repair it starts working again."

""During cold weather (20-40 degrees), battery will be dead if car is not driven for as little as 20 hours. If between 40-75 degrees, battery will be dead if car is not driven for 24-48 hours. If above 75 degrees, battery will be dead if car is not driven for 3-4 days. I've had 3 new batteries and a new alternator put in. Nothing has made a difference, and the mechanics at the well-regarded shop I use could not find the source of the drain, though they know something is draining the battery. I have to rely on a portable charger, or I will have to wait a couple of hours (or longer) for AAA to come and charge the battery. It has been a colossal inconvenience.""

""The VTC solenoid developed a leak at the o-ring on the solenoid. It was easy to diagnose the issue, and finding repair videos on YouTube was simple. I fixed it myself for less than $50 and it took me about an hour total.""

"the seal for the oil filter was leaking and needed to be replaced"

"I had my oil changed, I call my mechanic, told him the oil light came on. That was less than a month after the oil change. When he checked the oil it was almost completely empty. He had me keep oil in my car, I checked weekly and added oil."

"Purchased 5/30/2025. Upon bringing home and vacuuming out the spare tire wheel well had some water in it. We do not know how long it had been there."

"This car has always had a lot of road noise when traveling at highway speeds. New tires do not make a difference. There needs to be more insulation added to the body during manufacturing to resolve the noise."

"Apparently this VTC actuator issue is quite common and you eventually have to get it replaced."

"simply stoppped working, and that screen will display nothing"

"The wireless phone charger was not working. Took it back to the dealer to repair and found out it was not connected properly at the factory. No further issues with charger."

"Compass module was bad and had to be replaced"

"Replacement no Honda CR-V should need at this low mileage. Very disappointed."

"I used low gear going down a snowy hill. I had driven a short way while still in low gear. I continued to drive another 50 miles to the dealership. I was told if I had had it towed it may not have had to be replaced."

""Started about 6 months before repair. ,was intermittent. Not complete failure""

"when automatic shifting from 1st to 2nd gear (20-30 mph) it would shudder; online reports said this happened with many 2014 CR-Vs. Mechanics with extended warranty company could never find problem; finally (after warranty expired) got it fixed ($500) at dealer. Hope it will last"

""During regular maintenance 3 days ago, they could not change the transmission fluid as they saw a slow leak from the seal. Im looking for transmission service now..""

""Apparently a mechanic failed to replace one of the transmission plug caps when the transmission was serviced in the past, so later another mechanic noticed the missing plug/cap and had it replaced.""

"see previous comment about idle and computer update."

"Past 4 months,loud noise when shifting into reverse."

"Drivers side front axel seal replaced as leaking. Passenger side will have to be replaced soon"

"Noise when starting for a few seconds. Well known VTC actuator spring weakening problem. Dealer recommended chain replacement as well which I agreed to given I left fixing the actuator longer than I needed to. Had this expensive fix done in 2021. Honda knows about the problem and lost a class action in Indiana I believe but still refuses to provide the simplified repair of replacing the spring with a better quality spring."

"Check engine light intermittently comes on. Have had vapor recovery valves replaced. Have been advised that this may be an electrical/computer problem. Due to the age of the vehicle and that it doe not effect the cars function, have elected not to repair."

""A small hole wore through the leather front, driver's seat. The entire leather seat cover was replaced.""

"It failed at about 118k miles."
