Rattling noise in the right side/ behind the dash board when the A/C and heater is on. In addition, the A/C and heater often go off and on while the vehicle is in motion.

When CRV is stationary and idles, the cabin fills with gasoline smell and is nauseating and gives my wife headaches. It has been an issue since we bought new in December 2016 and the Honda dealer said they would look into it and nothing has been done to fix the problem. We have young kids and are concerned for there health and safety. From reading on-line this issue seams to be a common problem with the CRV. Can you guys and gals help? thanks

Bought a 2016. Thought the fix was in. Drove 4.1 miles off the lot. I was so sick and numb legs and hands. I had to pull over. Dealership picked me up. Offered to only find me another car for same price. Said its my car but wont fix under warranty. Then said it's not my car. I have not signed any forms to release it. Paid 22K.

My 2016 Honda CRV was sitting in my driveway after being driven around all day. Later that day I went to put something in my hatch area when I noticed the rear hatch glass had exploded out. There was no apparent cause. The car has 30,000 miles on

The tire monitoring pressure system on my 2016 Honda CRV has alarmed 3 times in the past 10 days with no significant tire pressure problem found. I took it to my local Honda dealer for an inspection of the problem. The service rep stated that because I had replaced the passenger rear tire with a different model, not size tire, the TPMS is prone to frequent false alarms. Due to some on-line research, I have become aware of a Honda software tsb14-006 that should remedy my problem. Should Honda notify me of this update?

The vehicle vibrates very rough when idle in drive gear. Specifically, the issue happens when the vehicle is stationary and in drive gear and all accessories turned off and when the engine temperature has reached its optimum (fully warmed up engine). The issue goes away if the RPM is raised (when stationary and in drive gear) by turning on any accessory like fan or rear defroster etc. This was a known issue in Honda CR-V 2015 and was admitted as "mode 1 vibrations" by Honda. Honda put out a fix for CR-V 2015 by tsb 15-046. A lot of Honda 2016 CR-V including my vehicle is showing exactly the same symptoms but Honda is refusing to provide a fix for 2016 CR-V vibration issue citing it as a "normal characteristics of the vehicle". the excessive vibrations during idle are causing headaches and significant jitters in the body during excessive stop-and-go traffic conditions. Also, the owners of these vibrating 2016 Cr-vs are concerned about longetivity of transmission mounts, engine mounts and other mechanical connections due to this high engine vibrations. NHTSA should definitely look into this issue and hold Honda accountable to providing a fix for this issue. Following are the links to videos on youtube and google search. You will see that I am not alone.

While driving on the interstate in warm weather I heard a loud explosion like something had hit the car. I pulled the car over and did not see any damage. Later that day I discovered that the sunroof was shattered. I did not have it elevated or open while driving. Luckily the protector was closed so I was not injured. I have read in consumer reports that this is a issue with vehicles. I do not see how a rock or anything could have smashed my sunroom. It would have had to come down vertically. I found no foreign debris among the glass. It cost me a $500 deductible to have it fixed.

My sunroof suddently exploded and left a really big hole when I was driving on freeway and it was very windy outside. I checked and saw there was nothing falling down that can caused the glass broken. The glass was pushed up and outward. The slider was closed when it exploded

When stopped (for instance, at a traffic light, or at a stop sign) and idling with foot on the brake, the car begins to shudder. It is so strong, it hurts. Even the children in the back seat noticed it. If I shift to neutral while waiting for the light to change, it mostly stops shuddering. What is the fix? this is a new car. This is almost all the time !! it is an ongoing condition.

CR-V

  • 15,000 miles
Once my car hit approx. 15000 miles the TPMS keeps coming on. I have taken it to Honda several times and every time I get it back they say everything is fine, I.e no slow leaks etc.. but shortly there after sometimes the next day the light will come back on. Most recently I drove for about a month with no issues but then this week it came back on. I went and the tire pressure checked and it was within a 1lb of where it should be. I am able to recalibrate, button on dash and the light will go off. Honda insists it is just very sensitive. I have read about multiple complaints on the internet. Clearly there is something wrong with this TPMS system. What is the point of having it if you can't trust what it is telling you.

My 2016 CRV has a strong odor of unburned fuel. It is so strong it prevents us from driving. The odor can be smelled inside and outside the vehicle.

The inside of my 2016 CR-V smells like gas, my former 2015 had the same problem. The dealership has no clue what is wrong, they told me to switch brand of gas, it did nothing. Also the seats vibrate while idling, again the dealership doesn't know what to do.

Only when the vehicle is stationary, and the HVAC system is on (A/C on / off is not relevant) does the cabin begin to fill with the smell of gasoline (not exhaust, but unburned fuel).
