Take Us Back to 2011

Not an improvement over our 2011 CRV in any respect. The CVT sounds cheap, not an enough legroom, compass continual needs resetting and the stereo is marginal. Had to have a water pump replacement at 82,000 miles. No fun to drive and AWD isn’t the best.

Google maps can’t use in CRV I’m???? Why?

Easy to handle, but could use a little more luxury. Impaired vision, five drivers side from window or car meets engine want heated seats to be an automatic option, _____cannot use Google Maps in this car. Could not use cell ph till I called Honda directly. What’s up?

2015 CRV Water Pump failure!

I've done only 27K miles on my 2015 CRV. Last week, the Water pump seized, the fan belt snapped. It cost me around $600/- on repairs. I called Honda and they simply played deaf ears, saying, " We've never heard of this kind of failure". I think the water pump bearing is of a very cheap / inferior quality. Honda need to pay attention. I would be happy to hand over the dafective water pump. I am terribly dissatisfied and thinking of selling the vehicle.
