CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Honda CR-V is a fantastic model year with no defect trends except a very minor one for headlight bulbs that need replacing frequently. The average repair cost? $30.
The 2006 Honda CRV always dipped down in front when you had to stop quickly. Most cars dip a little but the Honda set everything in the car flying. I complained to the dealer but they said it was normal. At 54,254 mile the car was in for an oil change and the dealer said the rear brake pad on the left was worn to metal while the right hand had 1mm left on them. The front brakes had 6mm of pad left of an original 10mm so they were only worn 40%. New pads were installed and the car now stops normally with no dipping. THe front brakes do 60% or more of the stopping so why would the rear wear out sooner? The dealer said that this is typical for Honda. Honda of America Corporate also was no help. This is another design issue that the manufacturer won't fix and another good reason to buy an American car. I never had rear brakes wear out before the fron in 45 years of driving unless there was a mechanical problem. Please let me know if anyone else with a CRV has had the same problem.
