Honda CR-V

"AC stopped working, dealership wanted a small fortune to repair. Local mechanic fixed, but when Honda issued a recall, they didnt reimburse me for the cost of the fix with my local mechanic, only about 80%."

"Fixed under extended warranty"

"A/C not working on trip to flordia."

"The air compressor shaft seal was leaking."

""The air conditioner failed this past summer. I don't know whether it's the compressor, condenser or evaporator since I haven't yet taken it in for service.""

"It started blowing warm air! Took it to dealer and it was a shaft seal on compressor that was leaking and this was covered in a recall!"

"The seal was leaking and it was identified by a technician. It was covered by warranty."

"The compressor went so no AC. Needed a full replacement but under warranty at least"

"No ac. Had it changed under a warranty that I purchased. Then came a recall and they would not reimburse me, very disappointed with Honda."

"A/c compressor failed at about 150000 miles. A/c blowing hot air. Successfully repaired for $1200"

"New coolant caused problems. Was revealed and repaired"

"Air shuts off intermittently"

"Inadequate level of cooled air & not low enough temperature"

""For a couple of years, the blower motor made a ticking noise while running. A few months ago, it stopped working altogether. This became a safety issue as we could not use the front defroster. Recently, I ordered a replacement blower online and replaced it myself very easily""

""Heater is inadequate for sub-zero climates. Does not , and cannot, produce enough heat.""

"There was no warm air coming out of vents on drivers side. There was warm air on passenger side."

"My air condition stopped operating last year and my Honda dealer told me that it basically fell apart. He said it was a very rare problem and will require an expensive fix."

"A hose developed leak 3 times - first time was under warranty. 2nd and 3rd time were approximately after 5000 miles."

"Hoses had leaks and fluid leaked out"

"AC system has failed twice since new. Last time part was covered under warranty but dealer wanted $2k to replace leaking hoses. We balked, Honda ended up paying to repair."

"new refrigerant causes failure of hoses and other "plastic" parts"

"Coolant hoses developed leaks. Seals deteriorated and took months to repair due to back order of new parts"

""The A/C has never been particularly cold. It takes quite a while to cool the cabin. Recently, it stopped cooling entirely.""

""Two years ago, the air conditioner part had to be replaced. It took exactly one year to receive. They said the delay was because of the COVID. Just recently I needed a gasket for a leak and it was fixed in one day. It is working fine now and I am happy. Work was under warranty.""

"Refridgerant hoses were leaking, had them replaced and the system recharged."

""June 2023 highside/discharge line required replacement. May 2024 exact same issue, line again replaced. April 2025 A/C again not working, yet to be diagnosed""

"Leak in a seal. Noticed AC not working slowly during abut 3 weeks. Resolved immediately by Honda. No charge, because it was covered by recall."

"The AC compressor shaft seal needed to be replaced but was covered by an extended warrantee for 2017-2022 Honda vehicles."

"Lost refrigerant so much it did not cool. Had to have a part replaced and then all refrigerant added/charged"

""Refrigerant was leaking from one of the A/C lines, dealer replaced the line and added refrigerant.""

"I now believe that from the beginning the refrigerant was not properly fully loaded. After AC completely failed in 2023 and was serviced by draining and loading it has worked very well."

"Refrigerant leaked out from a worn out pipe. Cost $1200 to repair."

"It started at the end of 2023. The a/c system was not functioning properly. Several parts of the system were replaced in January 2024. This was covered by the extended warranty I purchased from Honda at the time of purchase."

"Air conditioning fine when I purchased it but now it needs to be recharaged (owned only 6 mo)"

""Loss of freon due to a bad seal, Honda replaced the seal free of charge, known defect.""

"Refrigerant leaked out resulting in no cooling. Had to replace multiple hoses"

"AC compressor replaced in 2021. Just off warranty but Honda covered it under warranty and offered extended warranty on thw new compressor. Ac wasn't working this spring and was repaired this spring no charge."

"A slow leak that needs to be replaced every summer. The AC compressor is under recall."

"A?C problems over the past two years were finally traced to a seal thats was replaced under a recall."

"I've grown to depend on this. I never know when not to. Dangerous."

"Camera is not reliable regarding distance to another object. Also, it is unusable in wet conditions. The camera in my Hyundai is what I compare the Honda to, so Im confident in my response."

"The screen will freeze then will randomly go through screens. Usually turning the car off will reset it although that does not always work. The GPS voice only will still operate even when the screen is blank or frozen somewhere."

"It happens along with the screen going blank. Sometimes I touch the screen but the screen doesn't respond. It stays frozen on the same screen."

""This car is in Ruskin FL. It seem that this happens when the car sits in the sun and the interior heats up, when subsequently driving, the display screen with flicker off, then on, the off then on, continuously, making loud clicking noises. Weve reduced the brightness to no effect. But we have discovered that if we pull over and shut the car off for a short time, a minute, when restarted it will usually act normal for a while.""

"occasionally throughout ownership of car . . . screen alternates betwween blank screen / brightness scale / home display including brightness scale ... otherwise screen would be displaying audio information as usual"

"The braking system has a couple of times just braked without warning and the display has gone haywire a few times"

""After hour of driving the display screen suddenly went very bright and then black with no display. Finally pulled on highway, shut off and restarted car. Display screen came back on and appeared to be functioning.""

"I rebooted the system and all is well"

"The screen goes blank several times even after they replaced it."

""Sometimes the display flickers and goes black. It will start with running through different settings, even though no one is touching the screen. The display flickers with a bunch of different lines. I have to turn off the car to get the screen back. Sometimes when I plug in my Apple phone, the screen changes colors. It shows green and pink colors day and night.""

"Shut the car down and it reboots and works fine"

""Randomly the display screen goes haywire--flashes from screen to screen, goes blank, menu buttons won't work. The only resort is to turn the car off then back on. Sometimes you have to do this multiple times before it stops. I've been told it's because the screen gets too hot in the summer but it has also done it in the winter before the car warms up.""

""It started about 3-5 years ago but when I told the dealer they said they would have to see it happening, not a video of it. I never have been able to get to the dealer when it was happening. I suspect others have probably had the same experience.""

""The screen would start blinking on and off, changing screens etc. Had to take it to Honda to have it re-programmed, for a charge of course.""

""Display would randomly indicate a problem with the Brightness control, but was unresponsive to touch. The screen would dim, then brighten, showing the Brightness level graph. After a few cycles between bright and dim, the screen would go blank and not respond to touch. Turning off the audio had no effect, but shutting off the ignition and allowing the vehicle to sit for a few minutes seemed to rectify the problem. Honda has released a firmware update to correct this issue, and it should be done by a dealership, as it requires two flash drives and a download of the update.""

"OCCASIONALLY THE INFORMATION SCREEN GOES BLANK. NEED TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE AND IT THEN WORKS."

"Screen sometimes goes blank for no obvious reason. Shut down and restart a couple of times cleared the issue."

"The head unit said it had a problem updating software. Two dealerships could not achieve this. One dealership said I had to replace head unit and display unit for $2500. Another said I had to replace the head unit for $1000. (These numbers are approximate.) I reached out to Honda corporate and told them this was unacceptable. They agreed to replace head unit for $500. I took the offer. But this whole problem is very unHonda like. I've been buying their cars since 1979. Not good."

"Entire suite of electronic control safety features failed but vehicle was still drivable. Repaired at no cost on extended warranty."

"Screen freeze,navigation buttons at bottom of screen inop. Replaced under Honda extended warranty"

"Thenavigation system failed to update Garmin's maps. The dealer decided to replace the entire head unit to resolve the issue. I also experienced periods of the entire dash and head unit changing its brightness."

"Difficult to update Garmin"

""When the sun hits the display screen, the screen goes on and off while making a loud noise. The only way to correct is to stop the car and turn it off. Screen will than reboot and work""

"Sometimes when its bright out the Display Screen will go Hooey ! It will beep and blink. When you turn off the car it stops. We've lived with it for the past Four years because it doesn't happen all the time !!!"

""The car display goes dark intermittently. I can still see numbers on the display, but very hard as they turn much darker. It seems it tends to happen when brake is pressed forcefully, but it can be just dark even just at the start of the engine. Please note, this is not because of any setting of the display as once it turns dark, no setting can make it brighter.""

"People with whom I speak on the phone through the car's microphone consistently tell me that I sound like I'm underwater and often have difficulty hearing me. Googling led me to believe this is a common problem in CR-Vs from this period. On a positive note, it gets much better fuel efficiency that the reviews I read (usually 32-34mpg)."

""In the fall of 2023, we could not send or receive text messages, an important, hands-free function. Audio unit was replaced under the extended warranty. This resolved the issue.""

""It started when it was purchased. It happens a few times a year, where the screen will beep and cycle through the brightness settings rapidly from off to dim to max brightness and then off again. This does not stop on its own usually, and the vehicle must be turned off and back on to fix the issue. I have mentioned it to Honda dealership and they said they haven't heard of that but I showed them video and have read it happening to many other folks.""

"It happens when the screen panel gets too hot or cold. It is annoying and causes the mapping app to not work well and it makes it difficult to work the speaker system or or any other system."

"I purchased a new iPhone 16 pro and I have not been able to pair it using Bluetooth. This is very recent and I need to try again. It started a week ago and I have not spent much time looking into what to do."

"Since purchase the pairing to phone fails at times."

"Once in a while the radio has problems with brightness settings. The radio fades in and out very dim to bright. Very distracting only way to stop it is turn car off and restart the car."

"I can sometimes hear the sound go out on a speakers."

"several needed to be replaced"

"Fuel injection system completely failed. Honda claimed it was because I didnt get enough fuel induction services done. It was relplaced under extended warranty."

"FUEL INJECTOR DIDN'T WORK AND CAUSED ALL OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO GO DOWN. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THE INTERNET SHOWED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016-2019 HONDA CRV"

"Fuel injectors went bad during a cross-country trip. had the car checked before the trip and there was no indication of an issue until the car just lost power on the interstate"

"A fuel injector failed and caused an error to be indicated. Sometimes it would trigger all of the error indicators to go active cycling one after another until reset by disconnecting the battery. See YouTube"

"Panel lights lit up. Had it plugged into the computer and it showed a fuel injector problem.."

"All the cars lights on the dashboard lit up, one day. Was told I needed new fuel injectors. Took 4 days, but it was fixed."

""Rough idle and engine light--ended up replacing all the fuel injectors eventually, multiple visits, no assistance from Honda, not withstanding they have fixed several other years' units with the same problem.""

"Started sputtering..no power to accelerate."

"I have a recall and am scheduled for June repair."

"Recalled in 12/23 and the dealer still dies not have the part."

"There was a factory recall on the fuel pump that was open for nearly a year before my dealer had the new part available."

""Recall from Honda. Dealer had no fuel pump motor available for months 6+. I kept calling dealer. I finally called Honda corporate, & the NEXT day dealer called with new fuel pump motor! Intstallation was shortly after.""

"Recall on Fuel Pump"

"factory recall"

"I did not have any issues with my fuel pump, but there was a recall on it."

"Factory recall to replace fuel pump impeller"

"fuel pump recall"

""The issue with the fuel pump is part of a current recall, for which parts were not available for some time, but was considered a serious safety issue. Parts are now available, and we will have the fuel pump replaced soon. For the past few months, the engine runs rather rough for the first few minutes, with some chugging and shaking, but then smooths out, for the most part, once it warms up. There is also sometimes a hesitation when taking off from a stop, like the engine doesn't get gas immediately, so you have to give it extra gas in order to get a response. We hope to have the fuel pump replaced within the next two weeks, and hopefully that will resolve the issue.""

""Recall from Honda,""

"It was a recall problem by honda"

"Dealer replaced as part of a safety recall"

"Factory recall (didn't experience any problems - just the recall)"

""Mandatory recall for fuel pump issues, nearly a six month wait for replacement. The vehicle was drivable, but we did not trust it for long trips.""

"Pump died after a recall was performed on it and this was replaced under warranty."

"The fuel pump was recalled and replaced by Honda"

"Was a factory recall so never experienced it but obviously it happened to other vehicles first. Fixed at no charge"

"Honda recalls the fuel pump. The dealer waited for more than two years to get the parts. The dealer was required to leave the car for the whole day. But the actual repair time is only two hours. Honda needs to fit the recall as soon as possible."

"Series recall for fuel pump due to risk of impeller failure. No cost to owner."

"Would not pass emissions test because of an intermittently failing sensor. Required multiple trips to the dealer before a mechanic got lucky and saw the failure."

"My vehicle displayed an Emissions sensor warning on my screen. Returned the car to dealership. Was told that an two radio frequency sensors were having problems on both sides of my vehicle and would need replacement. Was also told that these were known possible problems that could happen. They would be replaced under warranty but my vehicle's warranty had lapsed. Total cost of repair was $925."

""There is also currently an error with a fuel or emissions sensor that just started recently, but we are hoping that will be resolved as part of the fuel pump recall. The error is present any time the car is running, and has not been reset.""
