Honda Is Slapped With Two New CR-V Lawsuits Over Structural And Display Screen Defects

Add these new issues to the previous concerns of the oil-gas dilution with the 1.5T engine, and the phantom battery drain issue in the 2017. Not sure how Honda can keep selling these things in the volumes they do to the unsuspecting public, as they are clearly living off the brand reputation from years ago.

Too bad Honda Canada pretends there is no issue with the windshield, and puts the blame on the customer instead. This will be my last Honda product

I have bought 7 Hondas in 21 years dealing with the same dealer. At one point we had 4 Hondas in the driveway, we currently still have the 2008 CR-V and a 2017 CR-V Touring. Both cars belonged to my wife, I traded in my 2011 “Black Edition” Accord for her 2017 CR-V. This 2017 as had more recalls than the 2008 CR-V, one recall has turned the automatic climate control to manual control. Just out of warranty the panoramic roof sun shade decided to let go, as it’s under spring tension and shot back into the headliner. Now we purchased 7 year extended warranty, not covered the dealer explained. Now the dealer did go to bat for us and got it covered, still another issue. The newest one is the automatic headlights can’t decide is its a car or a sign so the headlights are constantly changing or not changing when a car does approach. My wife wanted back the 2008 CR-V after the first year of owning the 2017 as she felt the 2008 was a more solid car. Well guess what the 2008 just failed the frame recall, car has been religiously Crown Rust treated every year since new. Under body washed every spring and re-sprayed. After 13 years the car still looks good no body rust anywhere, all the options and accessories still work like new. Honda wants to buy the car back at market value with 15% added to the market value for the inconvenience of losing a car that you had no plan of replacing for another 3 to 5 years depending on how it is looking and costing at that time. Honda should take a look at how Mazda or Toyota handled their customers frame recalls. This 2017 will be leaving the family and that will be the last Honda we own, nor will i recommend that brand again

Going through a horrible attached garage and house fire. Fire Inspector says fire started under the 2008 HONDA CRV. This happened June 29, 2021. I had it a year. Anyone else? Did you contact Honda?

We have a 2019 CRV with the suspect defective infotainment system. We have had the car to the dealer service department three times related to our issues and they repeatable deny that there is a problem because they cannot "replicate it" on the service floor. This is total horse manure since we have told the dealer service department that the problem happens when we are driving the car. I have been driving for 50 years and this is not my imagination as the service department insinuates and I have had other passengers in the car that have also witnessed the lock up and failure of the infotainment system. If this problem becomes unsafe, God help them. I have worked in the automotive industry for over 45 years and I have lots of contacts. My friends will be able to point me to a good attorney. I have never been gaslighted as much from any other dealer as I have been by Betten/Baker Honda.

My 2018 Honda CRV has HEAVY moisture under the driver's side headlight that hasn't evaporated. Filed a case with Honda and they said it's normal--it's NOT NORMAL. I wanted to complain to BBB but they're not registered.

I purchased a new 2018 CRV-EXL from a Honda dealership, and purchased the extended warranty. I had my car for approximately one month when the sunroof exploded. It was the winter in Boston, and nothing hit it. I went to the dealership and they replaced it under the manufacture warranty. I went online and found it’s not that uncommon.

This past January I was in Florida and every light came on in my car. Engine failure, transmission failure, brake failure etc. Honda refers to it as a “Christmas Tree”. I drove back to my home, and shut the car off thinking it was a fluke. I turned it back on and all the same warnings were there. Due to purchasing the extended warranty I was going to bring it to Germain Honda in Naples, FL. However, my car would not come out of park. I then contacted the extended warrenty for a tow. I advised them of the problem and they told me a tow would arrive within two hours. After several hours and multiple phone calls to the extended warranty department I gave up and called AAA. They arrived after the service department was closed, and they had to use some type of a mechanical lift in order to tow it.

The next morning I was given a ride to Germain Honda to pick up a loaner car which is covered under the extended warranty. When I arrived I was told the tow company did not leave the remote key in the night box. I was given the loaner and had to track down the tow company. The key was found and the tow driver brought it to Germain Honda. I went back to Germain Honda to speak to the service tech. He advised me that my subharness needed to be replaced. I had no idea what a subharness was and he explained it’s on the back of my rear view mirror. He then told me that the extended warranty I purchased would not cover it due to “outside influence”. I was shocked and asked him what “outside influence” caused it. He said your Handicapped Placard, which is required by law to be hanging from the rear view mirror when parked. He saw it on the sun visor. That’s when I found out that the Honda extended warranty is subcontracted out to a private company. After fours days of going back and forth with Germain Honda, I was forced to have it fixed. I needed to be able to drive it back to Boston and obviously it had to be able to come out of park. It cost me over $1000.00 to have it repaired. I filed an appeal with the extended warrant company in January 2022, and received an email stating that I would hear within six to nine weeks. It’s now June 1, 2022 and I still have no resolution. I have only been able to speak to the person handling my case although I’ve made multiple calls to her. I always get her voicemail and with the exception of one time I’ve never received a call back. Three weeks ago is when I spoke to her and she advised she would have an answer to my appeal with one or two weeks. I’m back where I started from. There is NO WHERE in the owners manual or any other disclaimer, including on the mirror, not to hang a handicapped placard from the rear view mirror. I too have owned multiple Honda’s and also Acura’s. I just left a dealership on Cape Cod to have my required service. I told the service rep my experience and she told me she’s seen it happen before. Clearly the extended warranty is a scam. When I signed for the warrant it stated HONDA extended warranty. It DID NOT state that they subcontract it out, and if it did you probably would need a magnifying glass to read it. When my sunroof exploded, which is more common then I was aware of, the subharness had to be replaced. I was not aware of what was replaced other then the sunroof. The subharness controls everything in the CRV.

My advice is NOT to purchase an extended warrant from Honda. I will add I’m not letting this go. I will pursue through the courts if I’m not reimbursed.

it's because the computer continually flashes an alternating message as though it were scrolling through a list of problems with a beep annunciated at every change in the display, though the recall work was done the vehicle returned to us was far worse than one might have hoped for.

Sub-harness problems only.
