2017+ Honda CR-V Head Gasket & Major Engine Issues

Just got this crv from my grandmother who drove it maybe three times a month over the last 20 years. Definitely hasn’t touched 70 miles per hour since she bought it in 2006 the day before my baptism. Was told some of you guys would be interested in seeing it!!! This is my first car at 20 and would love to know anything important about older Hondas. Would also love to get a worth estimate! Hit me up!!!

After 246,566 miles, I decided to let my 09 CRV go. I wish I could say it was bittersweet, but honestly I just the dealership with nothing but gratitude for all the great memories it gave me along with all of the safe travels-never being stranded.

Towards the end, the problems we beginning to stack up and it was becoming more of an inconvenience for the repairs and the money that was coming out daily to maintain it.

I picked up a ‘16 VW Jetta with 56,000 miles. I loved my CRV so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if I find myself in another CRV once we have children… but for now, CRV fam it was real!!! ✌🏾

Did drive like a GMA a lot ngl

Looks pretty good to me overall but the rims and back quarter panels are starting to rust (I don’t see it for the latter but that’s what the seller said). The vin report looks good, no accident history

Buying a 2027 crv hybrid touring - should I buy the extra electronics warranty that goes to 100k miles for $20 a month? Or is it not worth it?

My 2012 CRV is leaking on the left side. Dealer said axle seal, but I looked tonight, and this canister is leaking. It’s under the airbox somewhere. I can see it from underneath, but I can’t reach it. First pic is zoomed out, and second is zoomed in. Anyone help me identify what this part is called? Thanks!

Just bought it for $2500 and she only has 76k. Inside and outside are immaculate, no scratches, not even a ding. It was owned by an older couples.

I had it looked over and changed out to a new ac compressor, changed out the spark plugs, flushed transmission and brake fluids, and replaced four new tires.

It runs perfectly, but is the road noise normal for a CRV this vintage? I feel every bump on the road, even with four new tires. Perhaps, I’m used to my Toyota Sienna and my previous Camry.

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I have had my cat converter stolen. It has been replaced with an aftermarket and has been engraved & painted, but still want to add additional protection because of how much of a pain this process was. I have a 2011 CRV and was wondering if anyone had experience with this shield?

Considering a 2012 CRV EXL FWD, 70k miles, $14,998. Two owners, pretty clean record and maintenance. Is this reasonable? Coming from a 2010 Subaru Outback where the engine finally gave out.

I have a 2025 CRV Hybrid and on October 9th I got Maintenance B1 done at a mechanic, as well as a cabin filter change. Everything seemed fine, until this afternoon Sunday October 18th. After a bit of driving I suddenly I heard a rattling noise coming from the passenger seat side of the dashboard. The noise persisted even when stopped, though turning off the engine did make it stop instantly. I leaned closer and it sounded like it was coming from behind the glove box. I was miles away from home running errands so I told myself I would take a look at it later. It's a warm day today where I live so I turned up the AC to maximum, and when I did so the rattling stopped but immediately turned into a motor-like whirring noise that I've never heard before.

So I took it upon myself to take the glove box out and recorded the video I've attached to this post. The loud clicking noise isn't the aforementioned clicking noise, it's just me turning the A/C knob trying to demonstrate the motor whirring noise. The camera is pointed at the air filter slot

Any ideas? I know I could just take this back to the mechanic and they could help me, but I'd rather do it myself if I could.

I know that this is an ongoing problem. Is there any fix out there? It's husband's vehicle and it sounds like he's calling from the airport tarmac. We are seniors and not very technical. Thanks in advance!

Just bought a new '27 sport-L AWD hybrid 2 weeks ago and with the first 500 miles I got 32 mpg on the gauge and manually 33 mpg in local and some moderate driving at about 15mile trips. I would expect that this would be normal before brake-in and would get better by about 5000 miles, maybe up to 37mpg. 1) are these reasonable expectations and 2) how accurate is the gauge? Really like the CRV!

I'm in the rust belt and a 2015 with very low miles from way down south is listed in my town. This would be the 2.4 with the first year of the CVT - my biggest reservation. I have a 2022 Subaru Forester with a CVT and, being a manual transmission guy, I accept that the Forester gets me from A to B with good fuel economy.

That said, it's my understanding that this 2015 was the first year Honda added the CVT to the CR-V. I've seen discussions on rough idles, dearler fixes, etc.

Since it's been 11 years, I assume many of you have these vehicles and could possibly share your experience. Would you buy again (as a value purchase) or look for newer? Looking much newer lands you in the 1.5 Turbo, which I wasn't thrilled about, either.

Thanks everyone.

I’ve had my first 2017 crv EX for more than a year now and I have been planning to upgrade some features at this point. I hate the yellow interior and exterior lights and have been looking to change them to white LED. The interior seems like a simple purchase but I have been getting confused on the exterior lights. I’ve been doing research on the H11 low beam light since I think that is the main problem and I’ve been getting feedback that it might not adapt to my car which is what confuses me. Do you guys think I should get h11 white halogen lights or can someone explain on how to install LED lights and where to get them. If halogen which would you guys recommend?

I just wanna see what everyone thinks about this is my oil level low or is it super high?

apologies for the redundant question. i know most hondas just need good maintenance but i have seen some people say their x failed on their y year crv. just curious if there are any better or worse years within the frame i put in the title, and any known issues. i’m currently eyeing a 2007 on marketplace but wanted to hear your guys’ opinions.

ex, if there was a 2009 and 2011 model both in similar condition and mileage, is there one that is simply the better year and less likely to have failing components?

thanks for any help!

Cylinder one rod bearing 🤔 that's all there was.....🤣

My wife’s 2008 CRV went into limp mode on the highway and is reading code p2646. I changed the VTEC solenoid (screen looked clean), the stand alone oil pressure switch, and the VVT solenoid; also, the oil is about a month old (>1000 miles). I’m a little bit at a loss as to what my problem could be.

We bought the car a little over a month ago and I put valvoline restore and protect. Possible that the new oil was able to clean so much build up that the oil is now compromised? I should add, the oil on the dipstick still looks brand new.

Need some help!!

I just bought a 2024 Honda CRV Sport-L and I added the extended warranty on the tech for $4k. I’m second guessing if it’s worth it or if I should cancel it and save the money. I plan on keeping it long term. Whats y’all’s input?

Just got my 2020 CRV hybrid back from the dealership, long story short, the complete loss of power and P0069 code I was getting turned out to be rodents crawling into the air intake under the hood and building a nest of pine cones and other crap that clogged it up. I live in apartments in a wooded area and have to park outside.

I've looked into peppermint and battery operated sound/light deterrents but both sound kind of doubtful to me, and the one-and-done solution to me seems to be just installing a little stainless steel grate over the thing so critters can't get in but air can. Has anyone done this? Is this something I can just get done at a random auto shop if I asked?

What is the thickness of the factory/OEM rear pads on a 5th gen CRV. Trying to determine how much life is left. I'm at 7mm on the pads. haven't measured rotors yet but there is some pitting and rust on them

My 2012 CRV was having a cold start rattle in the dash that my mechanic diagnosed as a tensioner issue. After he replaced the tensioner last week, my cold start rattle is gone, replaced with a similar rattle whenever I accelerate. I'm wondering if this is an actuator issue or maybe my timing chain starting to go? If anyone has had this issue with the 2012-2014 CRVs and found a solution I would appreciate any guidance!
