• What problems does the Honda CR-V have?

  Honda, with its Japanese influence, is known for producing durable and reliable cars embraced by a multitude of drivers around the world. Owners of the mid-range CR-V SUV previously reported transmission issues that led to a large recall back in 2010. The 2014, 2015 and 2017 CR-V models also resulted in a disproportionate number of issues being raised by drivers tied to problems with oil dilution, air conditioning and unwelcomed acceleration. Honda, however, has been quick to employ fixes to address these issues in newer releases and has consistently improved its vehicles to make them among the most dependable on the market.
