"Don't work in the 2 lasts weeks"

"Front Power outlet stopped working. We changed the outlet and then the fuse but neither solved the problem. Since this vehicle has a second outlet in the tailgate, we just ran a power outlet extension with a long cord from the tailgate and under the seats to the front cabin.

"Heat/AC/Defrost dials no longer light up., which makes nighttime selection very difficult. The dealer wants hundreds of dollars to fix"

"The gauges on my dashboard have been losing their power over time. They have darkened-and in some cases are now totally black. Included are my speedometer, gas gauge and cooling indicator. I am told this can be fixed but with a lot of labor involved (I have also hit large pot holes which causes my oil light to come on and stay on for a very long time)"

"All the gauges stopped working twice, then later came back on, resulting in a useless diagnostic visit and no fix"

"headlights have burned out 5 times since we bought it"

"routine headlights burn out very quickly. Fancy headlights burn out even faster."

"Keyless entry does not work. Also the doors do not lock unless the button is pushed"

"replaced two sets of door locks and the actuator"

"Keyless entry stopped working in mid-2014. The door unlock motor sounds like it tries to activate, but does not unlock the driver door. Lights do flash to indicate it is trying to work and the problem is not in the key transmitter. I don't remember t"

"Calipers seize up too often. Have replaced about 4 of them"

"Calipers froze up and had to be replaced along with brake pads and routers"

"Calipers seized"

"rear driver side caliper frozen closed"

"Just normal use issues; I live in an area with a lot of hills so I use the brakes more than usual"

"Needed replacement."

"rear calipers locked up"

"both rear calipers froze to some extent causing a burning smell. we thought at first it was rubber burning but turns out to be the brake pads rubbing too much. premature wear on the pads led to the solution"

"fronts and rears needed replacing"

"My left rear caliper froze in the closed position, causing need to replace brake pads and rotor. Because of the left caliper failure, my right rear had to do extra duty and I had to replace the brake pads. I had the rear brakes replaced under 5000 mi"

"The right rear caliper was partially locked for a significant period of time, causing damage to the rotor and brake pad"

"failed"

"Surprised that this vehicle should need front callipers. Rotors I can understand but not callipers"

"My car suddenly failed to stop properly, causing me to go through a stop sign (no accidents or tickets). When the tow truck operator tried to tow my car, it was discovered that the right rear caliper was partially locked"

"Getting service is becoming too expensive. My wife and are are considering downsizing to one car to save cost."

"The car needed normal new brake pads, etc."

"The car is older and has been a very reliable car. But I replaced all the breaks and then the master cylinder went and then the calipers needed to be replaced and it was costing serious money to keep it running."

"Normal wear! Simply needed replacing"

"Needed complete rebuild of brake system."

"The car seems to need lots of brake work: pad replacement, frozen calipers, etc"

"Was time for the back brakes, last year it was time for the front brakes. Normal wear!"

"Had rear breaks replaced - had front breaks done previously"

"Normal brake job"

"Needed to replace brake pads front and rear"

"adjust & clean brakes @ 14000 miles"

"Wheel bearing rear pasanger side"

"My 2005 CRV's parking brake has to be used daily as that car always rolls after you park unless the road is completely flat. Our 2006 CRV doesn't do this and it's the same modle and trim line. So, on a regular basi, I have to get my parking brake tightened. A littly annoying."

"Brakes continue to fail prematurely. Calipers seize on a regular basis."

"I¿ve had to replace breaks too often"

"Pads wore out doe to calipers and rotors"

"Frequency of pad replacements seems excessive"

"Used Monro Muffler which uses REA.LLY cheep replacement parts"

"Brake pads etc blamed on rust,"

"Brakes in general need wear out too often including calipers"

"I knew the brakes were vibrating a little when applied but we are in the due diligence stage of buying our house and was hoping to get past closing before getting new brakes. I downshifted, took my foot off the gas to slow down as much as possible. Then, suddenly, they started to make a horrific grinding sound that made the whole car shudder. The next day we took it to our trusted mechanic who replaced both rear brake pads, rotors, and calipers."

"Brakes needed replacing due to age and use."

"Pads & rotors would need replacing almost yearly after parking while away for annual monthly winter holiday. Now have brakes cleaned & lubricated semi annually (not specified in manual) which has improved performance"

"Not a surprise, really. The car had been standing for a while. Since these were repaired, at about 800.00, the car has been mostly fantastic. A solid, nimble, reliable little vehicle that's also fun to drive"

"Just needed to be turned when replacing pads"

"Just normal usage issues, same as the calipers. I live in an area with a lot of hills so I use my brakes more than typical usage"

"Dealership are constantly claiming that rotors either need turning or replaement. It's constant. I have no problens with the brakes - they seem to work fine, although a caliper froze on me last year an needed replacement"

"rotors warped and needed resurfacing"

"Rust on rotor edges caused knocking noise sometimes. Bearing squeal made this hard to hear so after dealer fixed axle bearings this came up. Dealer replaced rotors and pads in one trip. It is probably normal for the mileage. Seems expensive to repair until comparing to payments on a new vehicle!"

"Rotors were a little wrapped because of normal wear. Had to reface them"

"Constant break replaced: rotors, calipers, discs: blamed on rust M"

"As stated in previous note, rotor needed replacing when brakes ceased up after vehicle was parked for a month"

"replace demage by frozen caliper rear l/side"

"Front Rotors needed turned"

"The vehicle shuttered badly on any braking but especially high speed"

"I heard squealing from my brakes and I when I took it in I needed brakes, calipers, and rotors. I had similar work done about 2 years ago by someone else. Not sure if the original work was not done correctly or the car just needed new brakes. Unfortunately by the time the car made me aware of the issue (by squealing) I needed almost all new brakes necessities."

"wear and tear on brakes...you don't have enough categories to specify...167000 miles on the brakes"

"Dealer indicated a problem, but independent mechanic could not verify it"

"brake pads were almost frozen on the disk or drum. Mostly due to age they said"

"Comes and goes randomly regardless if cold or hot and isn't the breaks. Most noisy on wet days"

"I found out the alignment was off when I went to rotate my tires and found the wear was so uneven that I needed 4 new tires"

"Went out of alignment in a very short time - approx. 500 miles (or the alignment equipment was not working properly)"

"noise and leaking fluid"

"Complete breakdown of ball joints... Lucky to have surviived. A dangerous situation"

"Wear and tear maintenance"

"Worn so replaced"

"Front tires shudder in turns, either tie rod ends or ball joints. Tie rod ends are easy to change, ball joints require professional work. Only 135000 kms. on vhicle, neither should be a problem"

"Technician said parts were worn out due to low mileage. He indicated higher mileage CRVs rarely experience this type of wear"

"Ball joints needed replacement last month. Squeaking badly"

"Typical wear factor for a vehicle of this age, not all that expensive to repair"

"Since the Honda is still running great with over 252000 miles the suspension rubber bushings get eaten by the Texas weather and this is expected. The car is over 13 years old. I was able to buy the bushings and rent a tool to replace them. I also replaced the ball joints myself and used tape measures and a laser to perform a 4 wheel alignment."

"bushings wore out, dealership replaced same"

"The rubber bushings on the control arm have worn out"

"compliance bushings and one motor mount worn out"

"The car had been gradually making more and more noise when going over bumps. There were no steering nor alignment issues. It cost $2000 to replace all the necessary parts, and the car drives silently now."

"All I know is when I had the front and rear aligned they said that some bearings or bushings were worn and should be replaced soon,the price was four hundred dollars each bearing for one wheel.I have not replaced them yet."

"Worn. replaced as PM"

"BUSHINGS WORN/RUSTED OUT AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS PROBLEM IF NOT REPLACED--COST $750"

"The bushings are cracking/breaking down"

"Leaking power steering pump"

"The power pump needed replacement due to its inability to properly permit the flow of the steering fluid through its system. This also facilitated a strange sound when turning and my inability to turn the wheel properly"

"Replacement of parts was overdue due to use and age of vehicle."

"Like I mentioned in the past posting I had to replace the entire suspension systemm"

"expensive to replace front struts"

"Rear Struts were replaced at 197000 miles, Front struts will be replaced soon"

"oil seals in shocks were leaking oil replaced all four struts ."

"had to be replaced; vibration at road speeds was excessive"

"in 2009 and again in 2013 spport strut for right front wheel cracked off leaving wheel "unhinged""

"I replaced all four struts in 2010. One rear strut broke in 2014, replaced for labor only. Had the front struts changed last month. Needed struts, ball joints, sway bars"

"The car started hitting the bumps really hard; when I got my tires rotated recently they told me the shocks were bad. I had them replaced--and the front ones were really bad. I got good prices and my mechanic is reasonable but it was still expensive"

"Front struts went out. Replaced within 2 days of experiencing the problem. Work was completed by a local auto service and repair business. Mechanics are certified"

"loose sway bar"

"This was answered previously on the earlier question."

"Steering arms (both) were cracked; one close to breaking through. Discovered when my mechanic was changing the oil, put the car on a lift and gave it a check. Caught just in time!"

"Wear and tear maintenance"

"I have had this problem for the life of the car"

"replaced the swaybar links and bushings"

"Mechanics cant not find this problem"

"The problem was caused by poor repair at Honda dealer. The dealer replaced the rubber boots on the tie rods and ball joints, but didn't tighten all the bolts. The car steered erratically because of loose front end. I took it to an independent alignment shop and they diagnosed the problem. Just had to tighten all the bolts regarding tie rods etc."

"The entire suspension system needed replacing before it could be driven. tie rods, struts, ball joints stabilizer bushings,"

"INCLUDED WITH THE BUSHINGS"

"Due to a collision, had body work done and they did not fix frame correctly, now the car pulls left and wheels need balancing often"

"The wheels have to be exactly the same measurement when filled with air or the whole car shakes and rattles on the highway"

"Left front wheel bearing had to be replaced."

"There is a noise/click that comes from the wheel/tire area. It happens when I start the car and brake, it happens when I'm parked at a store and depress the brakes. My mechanic tells me it's a problem in the wheel area and that Honda does not have a fix for it. I've been driving and hearing the click for a year and all is well. The click noise happens regardless of the weather. It's bothersome and it sounds like the shoe, or wheel in this instance will drop at any time. I'm delighted that I found a personal Honda specific mechanic 2 miles from home."

"Again, technician said wear was mainly due to low mileage"

"Wheel bearing wore out but Honda refused to sell me the special tool needed to replace it so I could replace it myself. Found that Honda is not supportive of DIY owners like myself. Had to pay $180 for a universal bearing removal kit in order to do"

"front passenger bearings and axle had to be replaced at 100k miles"
