Reason for trading--very rusty on under carriage. Mechanic told us to not put it through another winter so we traded it at a young age-only 115k for a crv is young. So rusty that brake lines were going, suspension pivot points not going last long.
The roof has had some rust spots around the windshield frame. Probably the rust spots were caused by a poor labor done when the old cracked windshield was replaced. The spots were also on the A pillars. A classical Bondo job.

Honda has had an ongoing problem with Red and Black paint on their vehicles.
Our 2003 CR-V has had the sealant coming off for the past several years now. Honda USA refused to do anything about it. My local dealer did notice same problem on a number of Hondas they have been servicing. They agreed to pay more than 1/3 of the cost for a Honda OEM complete paint job on our vehicle. Paint shop said it would take approx. 3 weeks, car had to be stripped down to bare metal and then paint and applications etc would follow just as if car was being painted at Honda factory. I was told this was a silent recall by another paint shop, from a manager whos daughter had same make, model and year car I have. He kicked up some dust and Honda paid for the entire paint job. I was not so lucky, but I am not complaining either. I have a niece who has a 2013 CR-V, Black in color and it is having the same problems with the paint as our 2003...
Door handle on rear trunk broke, couldn't open rear door. Plastic part cracked in cold.

Exterior trim badly oxidized. The steering wheel was replaced when still under warranty due to excessive wear on top where I grip it. I should have put a cover on it at that time. Now, the soft plastic exterior is completely worn through and the hard plastic core is exposed.
