Thank you for this! Our CRV however, has stayed extremely reliable, without a single breakdown. We have had this car for 7 years. Non of the issues we have experienced! I will keep all this in mind

I have a 2016 CR-V EX and had a short that kept draining my battery. Dealer wanted too much to 'find' it so I took it to a local shop who spent over a day trying to find it. Finally found it was in the harness in the back tailgate. Dealer had it instock which meant they most likely knew about the problem. So don't make it a habit to slam the tailgate or you might create a problem.

I have a 2013, and while I never experienced and rattling noise on start-up, I used Amsoil Signature Series full synthetic oil on the last oil change, and the engine instantly ran smoother & quieter.

The VTC actuator is not a timing chain issue. It is an oil consumption issue. At around 70,000 miles these engines will burn oil at around 2 quarts every 3,000 miles. This causes the lack of lubrication of the timing chain. Check your engine oil frequently; once a week minimum.

My 2014 CR V 2.2 SE DRIVE VERY SMOOTH AND I LOVE IT

I’ve owed 3/ 4th gen CRV’s. The only major repair was a replacement of the starter around 60k mikes. Otherwise my 2016 Touring has been a great car. I find if I run 93 octane gas once every couple months it smooths out the idling.

We bought a 2002 CR V and it’s been good. Most problems have occurred due to poor driving skills. It’s a 5 speed manual so just changed the oil recently but working fine. The clutch binds slightly but the hydraulic fluid can be changed to fix this. Probably the most rugged and tough car we have ever owned. Now at 400,000 km and running well. Just needs some TLC.

2012 Japanese CRV with RM engine. I have or have had the following: 1) vibration at idle especially when cold due to low idle rpm 2) Pulley belt tensioner needs replacement every year or other year (with oem part) 3) suspension bushing doesn’t last long 4) It’s best to change transmission oil filter with every other oil change. This helps with the shifts. 5) the rear seats locks breaks easily and expensive to replace. 6) The original mic for hands free calls has a buzzing sound and needs replacement. Has been okays thus far. 7) engine mounts burst easily (I guess due to the excessive vibrations)

Do the same video on a 2015 -2021 charger all models 👍🏾 keep up the good work

Thx Forest

My 2012 crv used to have this problem rattling sound in the morning start until I switched oil and make sure engine oil is always in full line and change it every 4k-5k. No rattling sound anymore

So which year of CRV would you recommend? Also is CRV better then Acura RDX ?

Another question. Is there a recommended front rotor that is less prone to warping. I’ve never seen this in Gen1,2,3 ever. Even when worn to a knub. What in the heck did Honda change to create this problem? My Excursion has this all the time but it’s a truck, still irritating though.

The tailgate button? The latch is circled in the video. Is it the button or the latch? What is it that won’t function and is there a solution. Thanks.

My 2013 does have a transmission filter looks like a fuel filter on the return line right under air filter housing on top of trans there’s a 10 mm bolt holding it and 2 hoses with clamps

I do not know. I've had many Honda crv's, none of them have ever had any problems. Apart from oil changes and brakes, nothing has ever failed. If the owner pays attention to the car, then there shouldn't be much trouble.

Thanks. 2016 CRV w/ 40K miles....very reliable....just changed battery. I think I'll have the CVT oil changed soon. Average cost $$$ ?

I changed the oil in both diffs and the auto gearbox. Honda recommend the auto gearbox change but it doesn’t come with the normal servicing schedule, I think that’s the reason it gets missed.

2016 crv about 86k miles with all regular maintenance with no problems at all

I have a 2016 honda crv with 86,000 miles on it, and I had to replace Valve cover gaskets and replace the lower ball joints

I got this car, really low mileage for now, barely 40,000 and in 2 years it will be a decade old... in all that time, I managed to change the transmission and 4wd differential oil for about 3 to 4 times i forgot... since my car is low mileage, most of the maintenance I do it by time instead... my oil changes used to be every 6 months with the honda semi synthetic oil... changed to mobil 1 advanced fulll synthetic and 15,000 miles purolator filter, now i do the change once per year instead... i guess that starting this year, i will change trans and differential oil every 3 to 4 years maximum, flush the brake fluid in about the same time too. the coolant i dont know if i should wait a little bit longer, mine hasnt been changed yet. the car runs perfect i guess, but like you said in the video, it has a bit rough shifts from 1 to 2, sometimes to 3 , but it isnt that bad honestly, i am intending to keep this car for 10 more years, its a great car.

I did experience some shifting issue with CVT transmission, but after changed the transmission fluid, it feels much better though. I think the reason is cause by the worker who changed my tire did a non stop gear shifting from D to R and R to D while moving my car.

Tengo una 2016 y jamas me falla es lo mejor que Etenido claro con un buen mantenimiento

We bought our 2013 CRV new and itwill be 10 years old in March. It has just shy of 84000 miles. I have owned Hondas since 1979, e.g. Civics, Accords, Ridgeline. We have had to have the heater core flushed out due to apparent slag from their casting process; $800+, transmission jutter at speeds between 25 to 30 mph caused by slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear which requires us now to have transmission fluid changed out every 30,000 miles and an additive, "instant shudder" added to increase "lubricity", had to have an alignment camber kit replaced in rear, almost $500..this was done by a trusted alignment shop. They said this is a common problem with CRV. I change my own oil, use Honda filter at 50% oil usage; 3800 - 4500 miles. I replaced our truck with a 2022 Mazda CX5. Didn't even consider a Honda nor will we when we replace the CRV in the future. My wife drove the CRV but not anymore..we both love the CX5.

i have a 2012 crv with 140k miles on it and none of these problems happened to me it seems a good car for me

The 2016 CRV certainly does have a transmission fluid filter.

The rattling is actually a small spring inside the actuator… easily replaced

I have a 2016 crv with 95000 miles. Haven’t done a single repair so far and I abuse the thing everyday.

Failed driver/passenger door unlock sensors, and rear seat latches seems to be a common issue in Gen 4s too.

I have a 2016 CRV Touring it has been great no problems. Regular oil changes and it seems to be sensitive to a slightly dirty air filter, it will run a little rough at an idle. Change the filter and it’s back to running great again. The only thing I noticed right after buying it new, the exhaust pipe ware it goes over the rear axel it looks like they took a hammer to it to make the bend. This can’t help the gas millage, so I took it in to the dealership and to my surprise all of them were like that. I told them I thought I would replace the exhaust tube from the muffler back, but they told me that would void the warranty. Not sure if that was true or not, I didn’t want to take the chance so I have lived with it till now. It just went out of warranty so I would like to change that out. Has anyone else noticed this or fixed it? I would think the restriction would not help the gas milage.

Honda’s will always look after you as long as you look after them.

I just did a whole timing chain vtc and tensioner with guides on mine I’ve owned it since newi have 217,000 miles on it plan to get 1 million miles out of it

What he is tryin to say is don't get the 1st or 2nd yrs of any generation. As yrs past Honda finds way to improve these inconveniences. There are always recalls on the first years models. You're better of with a 2015 or 2016 models

Have a 2015 with about 20k miles on it, the car vibrates heavily during idle. Honda does have a fix but no recall so they will make you pay, gonna see if my mechanic can do it for me within the next few weeks.

When I start my 2015 CRV I will wait for 3-5 seconds before I crank the starter or engine ,,,no unusual noise inside the engine

I have the 2014 CRV diesel 2.2ltr luxury model. The gearbox vibration only happens when I am accelerating at low speeds. It feels like I am driving on a cattle grid. The vibrations stops, when I take my foot off the gas.

This doesn’t apply to Britain we have our own Honda factory and our Honda CR-V 2.2 turbo diesel AWD has a 6 speed manual transmission option if you get a sport cat instead of DPF and a remap done 200bhp fun and 40mpg In town driving

The transmission does have a filter in the 2012-14 models behind the air filter box

Link to Chrisfix video please ?

My 2013 crv shudders a lot around 30mph but it shifts generally fine, and sometimes it rattles when I cold start but not nearly as bad as it was in this video, any suggestions on my tranny? Should I try to get it fixed? Can it be fixed?

My 2014 FWD (35K miles) start vibrating above 65 mph like I have unbalanced tires. Tried everything, from getting new tires, balancing them more than once. Honda dealership did everything they can think of. Still vibrating?

Got a 2012 crv. The rattling start is definitely a thing. No major major issues. But the car is getting louder amd wonkier at 140k miles

I got a 2014 honda crv and I noticed a noise when changing gears ⚙ I hope it doesn't broke down on me

Nice cars

Can you tell me please I have 2013 honda crv ex awd and I have problem vibration noise in dashboard by speedometer cluster when I drive can you please help me how to fix and what is it...

I just bought a 2013 and I definitely feel that rough gear change around 2nd and 3rd gear.

2015 CRV starter failed at 65,000 miles. Replace using honda shop procedures, removing front exhaust, not youtube videos for small hands. Change the oil at 40-50% and differential and transmission fluids every 30-40K and you should be OK.

So the 3rd Gen should be a quite a ride and reliable. Also the 3rd Gen AWD works better then 4th Gen.

Would you buy a 2014 C-RV that has 202,000 Km ? Could I expect expensive problems?

Literally the 2012 to 2014 came with external transmission filters that are serviceable 😂

This is only the 2.4 engines

Are you talking about your CRV problem or somebody else’s? You are the only one have the engine problem noise. You need to disclose how many percentage of CRV has this problem or it just yours

This a BS model and car I own one and the transmission switching to eco status and that shit gives out after 50k miles I got it out the lot and the transmission gave out after 5 months..with warranty..I took it to get it fixed and it’s been over a month and they haven’t gave it back yet

Bullshit, you need to do a good maintenance, 2016 crv still in excellent shape

Not good. Buy Toyota.
