What Owners Say
"Sunroof leaked due to manufacturing defect (kinked drain hose). After dealer repaired it, there are numerous squeaks and rattles in the headliner"
Anonymous, MA (2015 Honda CR-V EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"As previously reported this model year CRV as an entrodanary amount of windshield noise along the top of the windshield mounting. It may be from the "moon roof" as well but the top of the windshield is noisy; no air seems to be getting in. I think it is a design problem that my dealer, SCHOMP HONDA in Highlands Ranch, CO. , has told me a new design is being used for the 2017 CRV has "fixed it." I have not driven a 2017 CRV so do not know if he is just blowing smoke. Anyhow, when my lease expires"
