I have a 2015 CR-V. Bought it brand new with 4 miles and now it has over 115k miles. Great on gas (33+ mpg on avg), easy to drive, really reliable and dependable. Only issue is there is a lot of noise into the cabin at any speed. Not sure if it is road noise or tire noise. But overall a good car. I will keep it for as long as I can.

I have a 2016 with 52K miles and I love it! I did replace the timing chain tensioner, easy job. One other thing that happened to mine was that the blower motor started making a lot of squeaking noises inside the cabin and I had to replace it. Also an easy job.

Excellent video and advice from an inside expert who knows. Thanks for sharing...

Thank you for the video! 👍 I have one of them and agree on oil burning/consumption. Thanks

I have a 2015. 136,000 miles. Had to replace ac about 90,000. But no other problems at all. Great car. Perfect size. Thanks for the video.

Really helpful, thanks very much. Tomorrow I might getting one of these 2016 model

Here in ireland i have a 2015 diesel crv, 50mpg. I mind it like a baby and it loves me back!

Thanks for the vid, great info

The rear calipers are on these 12-16 CRVs are a common problem in my area. Even with periodic fluid changes and brake services, nothing seems to stop it. I probably replace 3-4 of them a month, and at our sample size that’s pretty high. Other parts of NA might not see it as bad as you head south, but even in the NJ area I would be amazed if you didn’t see this happening. All in all, I completely agree that the 15-16 CRV are also my favourite. I’m actually going to be looking into selling my 2018 2.0 civic and buying one of these. It will be the perfect addition to my other 2012 civic as far as reliability 👌🏼

Thanks for the info. Getting rid of my 2011 Mdx and will be looking for a 2016 CR-V. Just looking for better gas mileage and the Mdx burns oil like crazy. I’ll be keeping my eye out! Thanks!

Just want to say 1st you give great information on the vehicles. I’m just wondering when you plan on doing a video on replacing that timing chain tensioner. I have the same problem and do a lot of work on my crv and haven’t found a video on it. Thanks

Great vid man, when would you be making the video for the startup issue

I have a 2012 CrV with 150k miles. Original owner. I still have the original rotors. Still surprised that they aren’t warped. Only thing that went wrong with it was the VTC actuator. I changed it myself in my garage for $200 with valve cover gasket with oem Honda parts. Also the compass went bad and started to always blink. So I unplugged the module under the headliner in the cargo area. It turned off the annoying blinking all together. I personally would take the 2012-2014 CRV for the traditional automatic.

Mine almost 8 years and almost done with the payment only thing I change it since we got it in 2015 is the break pads , almost 200k clicks still runs great.

Our 2015 needed rear caliper kit to bring it into proper alignment early on. Other than that it has eaten five windshields since 2018. Has 175k on it, all highway miles. We got trans flush and do oil changes regularly. After the trans flush its louder going downhill. Great car overall.

Great video man been waiting for this one ! I own a 2015 Honda crv as well. I changed out the valve cover due to the gasket leaking. Now I got a leak coming from a bolt on my transmission. I thought it was my rear main but after monitoring it it seems to be coming from a bolt.

AWESOME

I have a 2016 Ex brought new. Now I have 100K+ miles, great car. I use 5w30 oil because the car runs much smoother and quieter. Only things I replaced were the rear brake pads, rotors and battery. The rear brake pads seemed to wear out faster than the front.

Would love to see an accord 8th gen video one day 😄 v6

I like the previous generation, the one with the spare tire on the back, super cool

Just got one at a decent price. Hope it takes care of me. I’ll be taking care of it.

Great video man. We have a 2009 model we bought for mom and had a particular issue with the HVAC compressor. It started blasting hot air years ago. So we evacuated the system, changed the condenser and other components along with a new compressor, and it was working perfectly fine for years. Then it stopped working again, the compressor Pully seized, stopped the car, and caused a big headache. Then the VCT issue popped up, but that was a simple fix. The car is working fine now, but man we just want to get her a current model Acura RDX 2.0L

Hey wats up man! Ty for the info! Just subbed! Hey we actually own a 2013 RDX with the 3.5, 82K miles that has never had a timing belt job. Last oil change tech advised the HYDRAULIC TENSIONER had the slightest oil leak that seems to have just started, but performance is still flawless. I was curious. I have already purchased the following parts for the job: Water Pump (Yamada) Timing Belt Tensioner Timing Belt Alternator Belt Every dealership I have called advised the above parts need to be replaced only, but my question is should the TENSIONER PULLEY and IDLER PULLEY also be replaced although there is no indication replacement needed? The dealers are advising they aren't maintenance items, please advise! Thanks again!

Dude 2k miles intervals for engine oil and 30k miles for trans oil is not a solid vehicle. Plus the huge list of problems you listed makes this not a reliable vehicle at all. Older hondas arent like this. I can go 7500 engine oil and 60k transmission oil on my 15 uear old chevy truck (while towing a 5000 pound camper) and the oils come out in great condition and doesnt cause any issues.

What about the 2015 DTEC? Are they a reliable unit

Hi there thank you so much for this video. My main concern is the keyless start push button start. I’m terrified it might fail. I just got it used from Carmax w way too many miles for what I spent on it but lots of guarantees. I can also return in 30 days if I want. Like any new used car this suv is huge compared to my 1999 Forester I’m replacing. I did. my homework compared rav4 to this looked like Honda won in many areas. So I’m terrified has anyone’s keyless start stop ever not worked for them and what would be the fix? Also for the “ drain all the fluid and replace” WHST fluid and where. Any help much appreciated. I’d be more excited about my purchase if it had a key. Do all newer cars have keyless ignition? Please advise thank you so much!💕

Hey man I'm thinking about buying a fit I know they are all pretty reliable but do any years of the fit stand above the rest when it comes to reliability ?

Make the video of the timing tensioner please 🙏🏼. My mom’s CRV does that and it’s pretty annoying. -Oil changes are done regularly.

i have 2016 crv se awd with 131k km. no issues. my dislikes about this car is the cvt. on steep road i dont like how it performed. and also the road noise is bad on the highway. but thats ok with me as long as it didnt give a serious trouble. im gonna keep it until it will die. i still have the original rotors, next month im gonna replace it together with cvt fluid, filters and other fluids as well. i do all the basic maintenance of my vehicles.

Hi I'm Vernon I have a 2016 Honda crv lx I bought brand new in 2016 I have a little bit over 60.000 miles I use amsoil 0w20 and use amsoil cvt transmission fluid I use nothing but the best and I've had no problems with this crv at all love my crv

How to get modern Honda happiness Buy anything with a k24. A j35 if you want a speed demon, and you're willing to keep up on maintenance and turn off vcm. Maintain like a human being. Enjoy 20+ years of happiness.

Great video. Just bought 2016 touring 115k...everything serviced but no valve adjustment. Should it be done? Thank you

Woohoo, my vehicle! It’s been a decent car so far and I just crossed 160,000 km not too long ago. With your advice I think I’ll be doing a lot better. One of the best things you can do if you have a non-touring model is add CarPlay with a USB (I believe it borrows software from the HRV). It is completely seamless with Lane Watch and everything. I’ve had everything happen to me with my vehicle with the water pump failing (100,000 km), timing belt tensioner (140,000 km) causing the rattle and brake rotors warping. I had an additional issue with a failed starter (150,000 km). At this point I’m due for a valve adjustment, brake fluid bleed and CVT filter change. Since I’m doing oil/fluid changes I’ll be more aggressive with that at around 5,000 km. I’m at 6,000 km right now and the oil is dark. Oil consumption seems to have slowed with a PCV valve change with a 3/4th left between the high and low dots (question, how much oil is between the two dots, would that mean it burns a quarter quart?) Of course one quirk about this car is that even as a 2016 model, when it’s warmed to temp, the low idle at around 650 rpm will vibrate the car. I would take vibrations over the L15 any day. 😅

Make a video of the 2017-2021 crv please

Do you have a link to your review of the previous years? I have a 2014.

Can u do a video on 2017 Honda CR-V issues

Hey bro its me lol, got the trans fluid for the MDX type S 10 speed ordered. Is this ATF Fill bolt located on the side of the trans or on top like the 9 speed mdx? Im at 30k miles already and i still need to do my first change. Thing gets driven alot. Thanks a million 😇

We have a low mileage 2016 CRV Touring that is starting to burn oil even after replacing the valve gasket. It burns about 1/2 qt in 3000 mi. We have followed the maintenance minder for service. It has 78000 mi. Should we trade it to avoid major engine repair later? Worried about it.

My 2015 Honda CRv gets 24 mpg. It has 146k miles. I did have my gasket seal replaced because of the leak. $350 at the dealer.

We got a 2016 CRV EX brand new and it's been flawless for almost 7 years, just it's regular maintenance, it's got 40k miles currently, we did the rear diff flush, CVT flush, and break flush. Then two weeks ago while driving the engine started making noise on acceleration and some power loss, took it to the Honda dealer, it's still under the extended warranty 84m/100k expiring in 3 months no less. We were told the A/C Compressor failed, "it's not leaking" just not working they said, told me it would cost $3k to fix, confused I asked about the extended warranty coverage and after a few moments, they did confirm it. Now they say there's no part available and they have to order it. It's been almost two weeks and I have not heard from them, still waiting for that call back to return vehicle. IDK I wonder if I was paying out of pocket if they'd have the parts?

Is it okay to let my 2016 crv make the vtc rattle on cold startup? Will it damage anything?

Its true that the transmission is not good as the older models like 2013 and back?

I bought a 2015 CR-V with 60,000 miles and only issue i am having is the steering seems kinda stiff and when on the hiway it takes a lot of correcting to keep it in a straight line. Seems the stiff steering is causing the hiway problem. I had an alignment done but the problem is still there.

I have a 09 crv with 225000 miles on it only issue I have is vibration around 60mph tires are balance and good condition, any suggestions?

For me, I keep having Battery Drain Issues, dealer and other mechanics can't seem to fix it.

i have 7 year old crv... just mcouple months back im hearing rattle noise but cant seem to pinpoint if the noise is coming from the dash or engine bay area. its random. by the time i went to a garage the noise seem to disappear. The rattle noise is apparent upon start up. moving from park to drive if the rpm is below 1000. noise appear sometime upon slowing down / or about to stop or on full stop. and its annoying.

at what mileage is the valve cover leaking typically?

What is your opinion on the type of engine: 2.0 i-VTEC petrol or 1.6 i-DTEC diesel?

Great video. I have 2015 Cr-v Ex in same color. Bought used pre pandemic with 65K miles for great price. Now I have 106K. Did rear differential twice already and maintain everything well as I drive all day for work as Hospice worker. My ONLY issue with it is that on highway going 60+ MPH I feel a little vibration. Wheels are balanced and suspension is solid. I know these had the infamous vibration issues, but could it be an imbalance driveshaft on this year? That was an issue in the past. Some say it is the direct injection and offset cylinders that caused vibration in this year, but who knows. Otherwise, it has been great vehicle. Plus mine was built in September or October of 2015, so it is almost a 2016 model.

Hii I have the 2015 honda crv with the push start. sometimes my car wont crank up. when i press the button everything lights up on the dashboard but theres just a click sound instead of it cranking up. i got the battery and starter checked and it was good. i replaced the battery on the key and then got a new key and still having issues with it cranking sometimes. any idea what it could be?

Good video. I have 2015 CR-V Touring and I feel the car jerking when going around 20mph. I press the gas faster the car accelerates no problem. I was told this is common with this CRV and there is a software update. Is that true?

Bought 2 months ago a 2015 AT 2WD w 60,000 km run here in the Philippines @USD 12,000 , very nice handling and smooth transmission , minor rattle sound underneath in rough roads

Very nice car, but every model i had terrible vibration at idle. It made me feel nauseous as I'm sensitive to vibrations and such

is the honda crv exl 2014 last year of the conventional transmission better than the 2015-2023 CRV with cvt let me know mechanic!

We have a 22' CR-V FWD and a 22' HR-V AWD. How often should I change the transmission and rear differential fluids?

How’s the 2012 Honda CR-V?

HAS ANYONE HAD TO WALNUT BLAST FOR CARBON BUILDUP?I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2015 CRV WITH 54,000 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ONLY DO HONDA FITS?

My daughter has the 2016 with about 85K miles on it. A few months ago I did every fluid, brakes, spark plugs, serpentine belt, valve adjustment, etc. The worst part was the rear brakes - pads were really seized because of the rust and rust is not an issue around here. 🤔. Do not like those pads with the clips that go into the caliper piston. No issues with front rotors, but i completely agree with you about the rotors being to thin. Same in the Accords. But the Accord V6 6 speed rotors (or Pilot rotors) last a very long time. And the K24 does consume more oil as it ages. Otherwise it's a solid engine.

What about the cvt transmission ??? Have heard bad things about

Is this car good for off road?

Not a fan of the cvt. 2014 was the last year for the conventional transmission

Bought an 08 biggest pos i ever owned literally fell apart at 100 thousand miles never another honda overpriced junk
