Honda CR-V Hybrid

"CarPlay works about 20% of the time. Have to remove the phone reset radio and then add the phone again. Complete garbage."

""Intermittent issues...Can fix by stopping, turning off the car and restart the vehicle.... Annoying, but NOT really a safety issue.""

"Occasionally the navigation system would go blank"

""The USB for phone car play was carroded. Despite cord changes and phone updates, it would not work without a system update of the vehicle and other repair.""

"We get updating notices and have tried dozens of times to download Google map info but it does not work on Apple computers I guess. The shops ssay there is nothing they can do."

""Various electrical things work intermittently, auto seat adjustments, wiper settings, etc.""

""This is another thing that is supposed to be a feature and has become a problem that I had to pay for the privilege of suffering the problem. The charging pad is a slow charger and it doesnt hold the phone well; even a bump can dislodge the phone from the pad. The worse thing is that the phone must, not only fit the space, the charging section has to match and if it doesnt, like my 14 Pro Max, there is nothing one can do and the cubby that one could have had is permanently gone. The rear passenger side window does not roll down and was supposedly "serviced" while under warranty and "fixed" in the sense that the passenger switch worked. That "fix" didn't last and there seems to be no particular reason for the failure --no one sits there regularly and the window is not raised or lowered on any kind of regular basis-- if the motor was the problem, in terms of drawing too much current, the fuse would go out. However, one would expect to be able to raise or lower the window a time or two unless there were some serious defects --defects that one would reasonably believe would have been fixed the first time-- in the mechanism or the motor. Automatic headlights worked for quite a while without a problem and then, one day, no more automatic headlights. Here too, there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason for the failure. The thing that connects all these failures and a few others is the far more difficult access to fuses and the horrible information concerning any feature other than the most basic things so that one has no idea what fuse might be a problem for what system as it would appear that several fuses can be problems for several systems at once. Until this Honda the biggest and earliest problem had been the clutch switch. Other than that, I saw no problems until after 15 years. Those were EXs, the current one is a Touring Hybrid and, although the seats have not changed into cloth, between one thing and another, it has turned into an EX. I have also never gotten anything close to the mpg that Consumer Reports has gotten.""

""At some point in the past, Honda decided to get rid of the universal in USB by designating USB plugs for specific uses only so that charging a phone from one after solving the problems with the stereo with a wireless CarPlay adapter becomes impossible. Worse, the voltage available for the front plugs is below anemic so one needs to use a fast charging plug in the 12v plug but when that stops working and you go looking for the fuses you find that you cant find them! Dont even think of changing the stereo, the stereo in the EX-L and Touring hybrids is so integrated that it cannot be replaced even by a professional.""
