2016 Honda CR-V 4dr SUV
185-horsepower 2.4L I4 CVT FWD
| 36000 mi | car is losing more than a quart of oil between oil changes - oil consumption test was initiated under the five year warranty |
| 55180 mi | Excessive oil consumption. Being checked every 1500 km by dealer. Put bottled oil and all seems normal now. I suspect they put some sort of cleaner as all is back to normal. |
2016 Honda CR-V 4dr SUV
185-horsepower 2.4L I4 CVT AWD
| 18000 mi | Smell of gas in cabin due to defect pcv valve and tubing. |
| 26000 mi | Check engine light came on, but did not include "tighten gas cap" note, so we took it to the dealer. They indicated that this code was also "thrown" by a loose gas cap. No repair. |
| 6380 mi | Vibration at idle and when driving at under 2200rpm.Honda CD recommends 1000km break-in period. Dealer found level of vibration To be normal. Mentioned significant issues with 2015. 30 CRV's were modified under warranty. By this dealer |
| 13640 mi | Gas odour inside the car. Gas smell inside my garage (no leaks). Gas smell pronounced when idling. Service advisor stated that it maybe related to the exhoust vent in the engine bay. There is a canister at the rear to control gas tank pressure. |
| 16120 mi | PCV hose replaced and oil change Hose was defective( porous) Oil changed without notice Reeks of gasoline |
| 16740 mi | Honda Canada took the car to CH and repaired certain manufacturing defects in an attempt to correct the cabin odour problem. So far a custom kit gas been installed to limit engine bay odours entering the cabin, the PCV hose was replaced, the timing case was removed and reinstalled. I've noticed that using Shell V Power 91 octane gas at Honda's suggestion produced immediate results. I also learnt that the 2.4L engine us now produced in Alliston. 100% of these engines are exported to the USA. None are used in the Canadian built LX. After 500kms I still have an intermittent gas odour problem. It is more pronounced with winter gas. Honda's advise was not to use Petro Canada gas and to use Shell 91 every 5000kms to clean the engine. I gave concerns about the longevity of this engine if Honda cannot or will not issue a TSB with a permanent solution . I've read that one CRV owner had his fuel injectors and O rings changed. I'm not a mechanic but ethanol seems to be at the root of the problem. I'm wondering if my engine was built in Alliston. |
| 1000 mi | Vibration at idle, while the vehicle is in gear. I was told that a factory rep would have to look at the vehicle, and that an appointment was two months out. I drove another new 2016 which had the same vibrations. |
| 3000 mi | Vibration at idle with foot on brake. Turns out they all do it. Honda did reset all engine mounts, which reduced it by about 40 percent. |
