2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

ENGINE VIBRATION AT IDLE AND ENGINE NOISE WHEN STARTING IN THE COLD. WHEN HOT, WHINING NOISE INSIDE BY TIMING CHAIN AREA. SENT 5 TIMES FOR REPAIR AT PARAGON HONDA AND THE SITUATION WAS NEVER FIXED AND EVERY TIME SENT, THEY KEEP THE CAR IN THE DEALER FOR ONE WEEK AND AN EXTRA WEEK IN HILLSIDE HONDA. MY CAR HAS 23,700 MILES AND HAVE ALL SERVICES DONE AT PARAGON HONDA AND AT HILLSIDE HONDA AND THE NOISES CONTINUE. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THE SITUATION IS NEVER RESOLVED YET THEY KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE.

I SMELL GASOLINE WHILE SITTING IN THE CABIN DRIVING. MY CAR HAS SAT ALL NIGHT AND I'M PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND I SMELL GASOLINE. IT SMELLS LIKE WHEN THERE IS A SMALL CAN OF GAS IN THE CAR A LAWN MOWER. SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE SMELL IS NOT UNLIKE THE SMELL YOU GET WHEN YOU SPILL GAS ON YOUR LAWNMOWER AND START MOWING THE LAWN. HONDA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEN THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. I CAN'T AFFORD IT. MY SON READ OF THIS PROBLEM IN HONDA CR-V FORUM WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT THE OIL PAN BEING AN ISSUE. BUT THE CAR MODEL WAS NOT A 2016 AND IS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOE THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS COMING. I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS SMELL.

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A RESTAURANT, PLACED IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. IT WAS TURNED ONTO ACCESSORY MODE WITH THE ONLY RADIO PLAYING. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF THE VEHICLE BEING IN ACCESSORY MODE, THE TOUCH SCREEN TURNED BLACK AND THE RADIO WENT SILENT. THE DOME LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO TURN ACCESSORY MODE BACK ON, BUT THE TOUCH SCREEN AND RADIO WOULD NOT TURN ON. ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO START THE VEHICLES ENGINE, BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CAR WAS THEN JUMP STARTED SUCCESSFULLY. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TESTING. THE BATTERY WAS TESTED (4 YEAR OLD ORIGINAL BATTER) AND STILL HAD SUBSTANTIAL LIFE REMAINING. NO OTHER TESTING WAS COMPLETED.

DUE TO THE AIR BAG HITTING THE TOP OF THE CONTACT'S HEAD, SHE VEERED OFF RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND SCRAPED THE BOTTOM OIL PAN OF VEHICLE.

SMOKE FROM THE CAR ON THE ROAD IN 2016 HONDA CRV I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 HONDA CRV FROM A HONDA DEALER. ON VALENTINE DAY (2/14/2021) , I WAS DRIVING THE CRV AND STOPPED AT ONE PLACE. WHEN I STARTED THE HONDA CRV LOT OF SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I COULD ALSO SMELL SOME BURNING SMELL FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I WAS AFRAID AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. THEN I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AS NO HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS NEARBY AFTER STAYING ON ROAD IN SNOW FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. HE EXAMINED AND TOLD ME THE WATER PUMP HAS FAILED AT THE TOTAL MILEAGE OF 44526 IN MY CAR. THE HAS NOT EVEN REACHED 45,000 MILES AND THE QUALITY OF HONDA IS POOR THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED. I HAD TO BUY A WATER PUMP, SOME ASSEMBLY , MAIN BELT (WHICH WAS BURNT) AND THE COOLANT TO BE REPLACED. I HAD AN TOYOTA CAMRY AND DIDN'T HAD ANY ISSUE TILL 175,000 MILES WHEN I SOLD AND PURCHASED THIS HONDA CRV PLEASE LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND CONTACT ME FOR ANY DETAILS

THE CABIN IS FILLING WITH ENGINE/FUEL FUMES. I PURCHASED 11/2016 AND BEGAN HAVING DEBILITATING HEADACHES, NAUSEA AND CHEST PAINS OFF AND ON IN 06/2017. I HAVE INCURRED A LOT OF EXPENSE GOING TO NEUROLOGISTS, CARDIOLOGISTS, OPTHAMOLOGISTS TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEMS. I WAS FINALLY TOLD IT WAS MIGRAINES. I HAVE NEVER BELIEVED THIS, AND THINK THEY JUST SETTLED ON THAT BECAUSE ALL OF THE MRI'S AND CT SCANS CAME UP CLEAN OR INCONCLUSIVE. AND THEY COULDN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING ELSE. 2 DAYS AGO ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS OVERCOME BY A WIERD SMELL AND SUDDENLY FELT VERY ILL. I MADE IT TO WORK AND STARTED LOOKING FOR ANY OTHER REPORTS OF PROBLEMS. ITS BEEN YEARS OF MISERY THAT HAD A SUDDEN ONSET AND DRASTICALLY AFFECTED MY QUALITY OF LIFE. I CAN'T FLY OR GO FOR A LONG CARE RIDE BECAUSE OF THE HEADACHES.

THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND IN Q1 OF 2020. A TECH STATED THAT THE SOUND HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THE LOW OIL LEVEL IN THE ENGINE. I HAD NOTICED THE KNOCKING SOUND ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWN AT AN ANGLE AND ALSO ON TURNS. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED SEVERAL OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND THE KNOCKING PERSISTED. IN Q3 OF 2020, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE VTEC THINKING THIS WOULD BE THE FIX. THEN IN JANUARY 2021, WHEN THE OIL INDICATOR WAS AT 35%, THE KNOCKING BEGAN AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP OPENED UP THE ENGINE AND FOUND THAT THE SPARK PLUGS, PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS ARE ALL FOULED, AND THAT OIL HAS SEEPED INTO THESE ENGINE PARTS. HONDA CORPORATE HAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR A PORTION BUT NOT ALL OF THE REPAIR COST WHICH IS $5400. THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 8 YEARS AND 125,000 MILES WHICH IS WHAT WAS PROVIDED TO CARS IN THE OFFER FOR 2010-2011 CRVS AND 2011 ACCORDS WERE GIVEN BY HONDA ACCORDING TO A MAY 15, 2015 ARTICLE FOR THIS SAME DEFECT. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - SIMILARLY A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT CONCERNING THIS SAME DEFECT WAS SETTLED IN 2013 COVERING SEVERAL HONDA MODELS. PLAINTIFFS WERE [XXX] AND [XXX] WITH U.S DISTRICT JUDGE [XXX] IN SAN FRANCISCO. HONDA AGREED IN THE SETTLEMENT TO EXTEND THE POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY FOR UP TO 8 YEARS. FROM; [XXX] IN DALLAS, TEXAS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. MY DAUGHTER ALSO HAS A 2016 HONDA CRV WHICH SHE PURCHASED NEW AND JUST REPLACED THE TIRES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HER PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AS WELL. I SPOKE TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TPMS SYSTEM IS SENSITIVE. NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND WONDERING IF YOU ARE GETTING ALOT OF COMPLAIN TS REGARDING THE TPMS SYSTEM ON HONDA VEHICLES?

THE REAR TRUNK RELEASE SWITCH DOES NOT WORK ONCE THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW ABOUT 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. AND THERE IS NO INSIDE TRUNK RELEASE SO THE TRUNK CANNOT BE ACCESSED FOR ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS OF THE YEAR DUE TO COLD WEATHER.
