What a lemon!!! 2019 CR-V Ex with creaking noise

I just leased the 2019 CR-V Ex on 02/20/2019. This particular SUV was made in January 2019 at the Honda's Ohio plant. I purposely waited for the 2019 model to avoid the known issues with the 2017-2018 models. Immediately after taking possession of the car I started to hear creaking noises coming from the dashboard/windshield area, especially when driving with the radio turned off. I took the car to the dealer's service dept yesterday. They heard the creaks too but so far couldn't find the source of it. They took apart the pillars trim, the dashboard, the panels around the steering column. They juat let me to take the car back for the weekend since they are waiting for further guidance from the Honda's corporate techs. In the process they've already managed to scrach both pillar covers, puncture the dashboard and crack the panel under the steering column. I'm demanding they replace all those paets with new. This is a real mess! I'm supposed to take back the car to them next week on Tuesaday. Only 140 miles on the odometer and this car is worse quality than some 10 year old beater. I'm really getting disappointed. I will update this review as I go through this unpleasant ordeal.

To me stays on all the time after replacing a tire at 4000 miles.Honda says there is no fix. At random times, multiple fault lights show up...braking system, cruise control, collision mitigation system, lane assist. Doors lock or unlock at random.....this is my third but LAST Honda.

One in a million!

Please do your homework before purchasing. I bought a touring model in Dec. Had for 2 months with the battery draining 4 times. Got so the battery was dead every morning. Tried to work with Honda Corporate but all they wanted me to do was to have it towed to dealer to tell me they couldn’t find anything wrong. In Feb. I got a second one returning the first one. Paid $1300 more because that car was to be the one in a million. No way, I got two in a million. Picked the car up on Thursday - Drove on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. Tuesday morning a dead battery at 200 miles. I now put a trickle charger on it when in the garage. And that doesn’t keep the battery fully charged. Tomorrow I am going to purchase a larger charger & a set of jumper cables. All this for a new $35,000 vehicle. May I mention these two in a million are my 5th & 6th cr-vs. What happened to the quality? Hope there’s a recall for this problem very soon!

Vibration issue

I picked up 2019 Honda Cr V on Sep. 2, 2019. Next day I noted the car vibrates when I stop at STOP sign or at a Traffic Light, and after driving a little, it vibrates in PARK as well. I took it two dealers on Sep. 5th. One dealer said- could not replicate the issue. At the other dealer, where i purchased my car from, the technician had a ride with me. He noted the vibration. But no real solution. My commute to work is 2 hours one way. So at the end of 2 hrs drive, i feel nausea due to the vibration. The problem needs to be fixed ASAP. Any help form anyone? Feeling very unhappy- Brand new Honda with such issue? Thank you. Mukesh

GAS AND OIL, TOGETHER AS ONE

Just purchased a 2019 CR-V EX two days ago. Upon cold startup, the gas fumes, emitted from vehicle, permeate the garage and the rest of my home. Gas seeping into oil is huge problem with the CR-V turbo engines. Other models also. Read consumer complaints on line. Wish I had paid attention. Told by dealership that problems ended with 2018 CR-V models, and that 2019 CR-V are repaired at factory before sold. They lied! Honda won't be fixing problem anytime soon. Dealer will change your oil or make some minor adjustments, but you will continue to have problems while smelling gas fumes inside and out. Health risk as well. 350,000 recalls in China....NOT IN USA. Do not buy a Honda. Believe what thousands of others are saying. I chose one star, only because I couldn't choose a ZERO.
