In repair; VTC Actuator goes out, if you like your engine taken apart at 30,000. 60,000, 100,000 Honda declines to fix problems; transmission oil needs changed every 25,000 or transmission slips; cheap leather interiors; ac went out at 80,000 on the dot. Honda makes them to fall apart asap. Tiny brake shoes on the rear of the vehicle...why?

I have had to fix the door twice because the Cargo door would not open. No matter how hard, and long I press the latch, the door would not open. At first the dealer fixed the issue by replacing the entire latch, but after a month of use, the problem came back again. Six month after the second fix, the latch was slow to react, until finally, stopped working entirely. Now that the Warranty expired, the dealer is charging to fix the problem. Very Disappointed with Honda.

Vtc actuator/ timing chain

Do NOT buy this car. This is the warranty/ customer service on any car i have ever owned. Took it to the dealership with the famous “grinding” noise - literally 200 miles past the warranty. They replaced the vtc actuator and in “good faith “ paid for half and still cost me $600. Several months later same noise. Dealership is giving me the run around and now says that isn’t a vtc noise but the timing chain and wants another $1500 with no guarantee and won’t admit the charged me for the vtc when that wasn’t the issue the first time. I will NEVER buy another Honda in my life. Back to the Toyota Rav4 for me!

i talked my wife into going from a Lexus rx330 to the '13 crv, and for the most part i am happy with the decision, but there have been a few small headaches. Driving home from the dealer is realized the right front turn signal was inop, then when i got home i saw the roof rail was coming up on the rr, and 2 valve stem caps were missing. Took it to a different dealer the next day and he replaced the bulb on the drive, but i had to come back to have the roof rail replaced. So a car with under 100 miles on it has been to the dealer twice. Hopefully these little gremlins are just a fluke, and from now on its just oil changes and basic maintenance.
Excellent balance of design elements

I am 6'2", 290# and can fit into front or back seats without banging head or knees. Vehicle is silky smooth in performance, quiet at high speeds, nimble in handling. Turning radius very tight despite room in front/back/cargo areas. Styling to me exceeds others in class. Interior is well laid out; controls are intuitive and easily reached. Driving a flat 30 miles home from dealership at 55 mph in eco mode, instantaneous mileage dropped below 30 mpg only twice. Me likee. Don't think Honda engineers could balance all elements of form and function better than they did. I am retired and no Honda fanboy, but vehicle is exceptional.
