Really interesting to see the AC clutch relay fuse being the cause of my battery drain on my 2013. My local Honda identify the fuse as the problem of my AC not having consistent cooling and I misdiagnosed it as lack of refrigerant in the system. No leaks detected but I had to evacuate the system due to overcharge. Sadly, the VTC issue only happens on really hot or cold days and I found that if I set the ignition to ACC and turn off, and then turn it back on, the problem sometimes goes away.

I just bought my 2016 CRV about 4 mths. ago, and I'm experiencing problems with about 4 of what you pointed out. front rotars, rough gear changing going down hill, oil leak and I had water just setting in the spare tire compartment. Before this vehicle I had a 2005 CRV; when I got the vehicle it was a little over 67, 000 6 yrs. later I had driven that up to a little over 370, 000. I had many repairs and bought many tires over an 8 yr. period, and the last 4 yrs. using it as a delivery as well as my regular driven vehicle.

I’ve experienced the battery drain issue, as well as if brake fluid level gets low, all dash lights come on

My 2014 has been extremely reliable overall. It did have the VTC issue, that Honda fixed for me. Now at well over a hundred K, the torque converter (I change all the transmission fluids at 1/3 the recommended interval) is getting weak- some shudder around 25 mph or so. Otherwise, no leaks rattles or A/C issues. Battery drain has never occurred, though it needs them replaced rather early on and I suspect it because they are so small. Even the brakes have been worry free for 65 K :) This 2.4 is a very good engine, aside from the VTC. Compared what my coworkers who tell me about problems and major issues occurring in their 2017+, of many car makes and models, I think overall it relatively cheap to maintain. In five years people are going to shocked the level durability/reliability loss for most cars as this decline continues.

I had the torque converter issue happen after I bought my 2012 CRV at 73k miles. Brought it in for the Transmission fluid to be changed and the software update. Recently at 96k the issue came back worse than ever. Dealership said the torque converter was faulty but the warranty company inspector said he found clutch material on the dipstick and in the pan, so to be safe they are having a transmission from a 2014 CRV installed. I have seen less reports of the transmission issue with the 2014 CRV so i am hoping this newer transmission is good to go.

The vibration issue only affects the models that have the CVT not the 5-speed automatic. The CVT is in the 15 and 16 model years.

How about the EDPS Electric Differential Pressure Solenoid that cause the AWD to light on the dashboard. Honda issued service bulletin for Honda CRV 2012-2014

My 2013 is now experiencing doors unlocking/locking while driving. Drives my husband crazy. I have around 86k miles on the car.

What's the cost to fix the VTC rattling noise at cold start

[pedrobenavides]

.I have a problem with the start stop bottom on my 2016 cr-v, somtimes I have to push it 2, 3 times before it starts. Help

Have a 2016 SE with Earth Dreams automatic transmission 49, 000 miles it has vibration while stopped in gear. It goes away when shifted to neutral. Should it be covered by some sort of recall? What is TSB 15-046? I thought it was the motor mount. Thank you for the video and the information if you or someone else responds to this.

Only ten issues?? Earth dream or earth nightmare?! Terrible that Hondas are slipping in quality

[dieselmechanic]

I have a problem with crv 2012 it makes a noise after 45 miles per hour as if a plastic scrape is heard inside from the driver's side

[Itsjayduhhhhh]

All I’ve had so far is the vibration at idle on my 2015, think they’re charging to fix that tho and I’m broke

[kevinescobar]

If I have any of these problems, is the manufacturer or am I responsible of fixing them?

[noypicans]

i had That problem on my 2013 CRv 71k miles a day after I bought shudder bitween 25mile to 38mile, I flush the trans fluid, and reset the system, after a month, I dint Feel the shaking anymore, i think it takes a times to relearn the system, change oil every 3500miles FS…and now I just findout, my traction Control isn’t working.😢 no more honda.

I have the battery drain issue and I will never buy another Honda ever. The quality is gone.
