"Cry wolf" tire light and redundant warning screen

I bought the 2014 model because I needed an AWD in central NY snow. I like to wait a year to post reviews because I want to really get to know my car. PROs - Reliable, comfortable, functional, gas mileage CONS - After starting the car, it takes several screens of warnings before I get to my GPS and punch in my destination. Why? FIrst a screen about the satellite for 60 seconds. What is stupid warnings like "Driver is responsible for operation of vehicle" warning? Really? The DMV thinks so. When will you Honda? Duh! WHy don't you have me sign a release when I buy the car so I don't have to look at this every single time I start my car. Takes 30 seconds AFTER you hit OK for the next screen.T hen comes a screen saying your phone is connected for another 30 seconds. Malfunctioning tire pressure light since the day I bought it. Dealership cannot fix it. This is so stressful when you are driving in bad weather because I can't tell if this time the light is for real or just faking it. Poor radio reception. I get 2 stations while all my neighbors get 6 or 8 stations GPS navigation is not intuitive like other cars. Needs too many clicks to get your destination or to find your address book. Screen is invisible when sun shines on it. Need anti glare screen. it takes several screens of warnings before I get to my GPS and punch in my destination. Why? Salem dealership is not knowledgeable. Did not fix my shuddering brakes. Just told me to keep driving and it would go away which it has not. Cruise control has 5 - 10 miles/hr variance on hills after I have set it. This could result in a speeding ticket! Motor is very loud while driving

Bought the new crv 2014 lx model July of 2014. Just this winter when temperature drops 40 f below, grinding sound from the engine will shoot up for 5 to 8 seconds ( first start in the morning. Took it to the dealer and change the vtc actuator. Scared that it will sound again because a lot of crv owners experienced the sound over again even though they changed the part several times. They should do a recall for this.

We have had our CR-V for over two years now , and I thought some of the ratings here were a bit unfair. This car is, and will be reliable for a long time, has excellent control, handling and visibility, and holds its own among similar crossovers or small SUVs. It took me awhile to warm up to the little car, but my wife loved it from day one. We were having a child, and planning on another. Our two dogs and kids all fit just fine, with to spare. The only cons I can think of are the interior seems a bit dated for the higher end model we chose, and the mileage could be a bit better for the size of the engine. Honda could also offer a more affordable extended warranty. It runs great, is quiet and handles well over the passes in winter. We hope to keep it for a very long time.

I read all of the 2013 reviews before purchasing my 2014. I decided to go with the EX-L without navigation. I couldn't imagine going without a passenger seat arm rest. The dealer got me a CR-V without navigation (since those reviews are terrible) and without the entertainment system, which I don't need. It looks good, runs well, has sufficient pickup even in ECO mode. One reviewer complained about the headrest--but on the EX-L the seat is infinitely adjustable so that's easily corrected. The sound system works sufficiently well for me. Headlights seem to light just fine, but I drive only in well lit suburban areas. Controls are easy to see and operate.

Honda saved my life TWICE!

In the last 12 months, I have been involved in 2 auto accidents. One should have hurt or even possibly killed me. I was driving 60mph when a car came out from under an over pass and ran a Red Light and I T-bone'd them withouot hitting the brakes... it totaled my HONDA CIViC (with 260,000 miles) …. but, instead of the engine ending up coming through the dashboard and on top of me and my passenger... it dropped down and out of the car and the impact bars nd air bags saved me...everyone walked away from that wreck. When I received my insurance $ I went car shopping and without a doubt selected another Honda. I chose an suv this time and went with the CRV. Well, not even a year after my first accident, just last Thursday, I was rear-ended at 45 mph while at a complete stop. The woman who hit me, never hit her brakes (and was also ticketed on site)... the adjuster contacted me today, and although my CRV was still drivable, it did approximately $5000k worth of damage to my car. The majority of that was the impact bars that "did their job" by breaking, bending, and preventing the collision from being worse on the passengers. I am on the road 90% of the time. Not only do I love the economic value of my Honda but it has proven over and over now, that it is 100% dedicated to protecting the passengers in the event of a collision. KUDOS HONDA! Job well done!
