Bad Tires, CD players and Poorly Assembled

I bought my NEW Honda CR-V in Feb 2010. It was assembled in Mexico. On the basis of reliability reputation of 'Honda', I decided to buy CR-V out of 3 choices- CR-V, RAV4 and Subaru Forester. In Feb 2010, Toyota was giving very good deal (0% APR) and Forester was rated the best. However, price for RAV4 and Forester was $1000 more than CR-V LX. As I thought I got good deal and I don't have any 'Brand' biasness, I bought CR-V. After 2yrs and driving 21,000 miles, it needs tire changed costing me $850. I am disappointed. Honda did not keep up its reputation. Plastic things fall off, clock runs fast, CD player get very hot within short time. Make noise when starts moving due to loose plastic...

This has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. This car replaced my Toyota Tacoma pick-up and had big shoes to fill in doing that, happily I can say it more than served it's purpose for me and my family. From simply around town errand driving to long road trips, this zippy car is comfortable, has great pick-up, is safe in the wind and rain and is an all around great car. It looks like a Lexus when it has had a wash!

Repeated repairs on my 2010 CRV

I bought my 2010 CRV used in 2013, with 38,000 miles on the vehicle. It now has 58,000 miles, so it has not seen heavy usage. However, the starter failed after one year (just after the warranty expired), at a cost of $900 to replace. Then a front wheel bearing went out, another $300. Then the engine's variable valve timing advance went out, an $1,100 repair fee. Finally, the air conditioner clutch/compressor unit died a few weeks ago for a $1,500 repair. According to the internet, the valve timing advance and air conditioner are well known to have problems in the CRV. By comparison, I bought a 2010 Toyota Camry new. It now has about 57,000 miles on it. There have been no repairs beyond the failure of two tire pressure sensors, a $200 repair. The CRV was my first Honda after years of Toyota and my wife's Lexus ownership. I won't be buying another Honda.

Not as great as I had hoped

I have had my CRV nearly a year. I am disappointed with the gas mileage and the lack of acceleration (mushy). I read the other Edmunds reviews and don't see really any other complaints on this - but I don't think that its right. I mentioned to dealer and they couldn't find a problem. Anyway. I like this vehicle. My other Honda is a 91 Accord coupe and frankly I think the 91 is better made and certainly gets better milage with 180 K on it. When I bought the CRV I thought it would last too, but I am not so sure. It is pretty but it just doesn't perform as expected on the highway. Maybe I will trade in for a different model.

Honda slow to resolve issues.

The CRV has been revised since the 2011 model so the rear tire wear problems may have been addressed by now. If not, plan to spend $500 - $1,500 a year on tires depending on your driving habits. The rears cup or scallop just as the did on the CIVIC but HONDA has yet (May 2014) to issue a technical service bulletin to correct the CRV.
