Honda CR-V RM (2012-2016) Questions & Answers

Wow sounds like a nuisance problem, the best people that have direct access to Honda are the car dealers, specially the one where you get your car serviced.
I have contacted Honda direct and they keep palming me off to the dealers.
So keep hassling them and ask them for solutions, maybe to reprogram or replace your remote control.
Good luck!

Many thanks will follow it up

My CRV is a 2WD, the fuel economy on the dash display went down over the first 100km (if your just going off the electronic display window then it may not be accurate, I double checked when I fuelled up vs the amount of km's I had travelled).

Hey,

My honda crv is a fuel guzzler, they all are. I would say thats normal :)

Depends where and how you drive and over what period you are are driving. If you've had it for a week and only doing the short distances you quote - I doubt if you've even used a full tank. The number on the dashboard dispaly is variable - it adjusts to driving speed etc approx every couple of minutes. Look at it immediately after you've filled up - first reading could be 48l/km the second 16, the third less and so on. Fill up at service station at the top of a big hill, and (with an automatic), foot off the accelerator you'd record something like 5l/100km by the time you reached the bottom.
I've had 2013 CRV 4WD since new and over all conditions - country runs and peak hour (in Perth it's hardly worthy of the name compared to Sydney and Melbourne) it averages 8.7l/100km. On a drive north to Geraldton (about 440kms) I can achieve around 7l/100kms at an average speed of a tad over 100km/hr.
Coming back - same road - 9l/100 - the difference is the prevailing wind (not the vehicle) coming of the Indian Ocean. Fuel consumption is a combination of the vehicle's engine efficiency, road and weather conditions and driver efficiency - the last being the least efficient!

Yep,
Their plastic.

Honda are skimping on quality

Thanks james! What badge did uou get! I thought that the delearship switched some parts. Plastic headlights not good. It flexes when I pit preasure ontp to ot.

Plastic is better and less chance to shatter easily in an event of a car crash so my advice is be happy the vehicle itself is safe and working properly - that's mainly what's important for you and your passengers

One thing I didn't think to check when I was buying the car was the remote boot release. I was replacing a 10 year old Honda Accord Euro that had both a lever at the drivers seat and a button on the key. I figured that it would at least have a lever and/or a button, as I too got the 2015 Series II VTI-L ADAS with ALL of the available options. The ad for the CRV showed not just remote powered tailgate, but touch free powered tailgate. On my first service, I took it back to Larke Hoskins (where I purchased it) and they informed me that powered tailgate feature was despec'd for the AU market and the ad I saw was the CRV released for the US market.
Honda Australia get your shizz together. Demand better spec models for the AU market, then you might catch up to Mazda with sales.

What on earth were they thinking?!? How ridiculous!!

Yes the back seats space can fit 2 child seats also one more person in the middle but only if the person is under certain size. Like medium female size person.

I was able to fit 3 6 foot men in the back seat and they all said that it was roomy enough without being too squishy. Also there is the specific car seat slots on both the left and right back seats.

Thank you for your replies! I got my 4wd vtis already. It'll be delivered on Friday!:-)

I'm not sure - you may have to ask Honda Australia that question

2015 should still be under warranty. Bring it back to the dealer and have it checked.

Haven't yet purchased the crv just reading lots about the autos shuddering / vibrating (Honda have a press release on youtube for the CVT engines).

Wondering the same for the automatic version. Can't find anything about it on NZ pages. However, all vibration complaints are on US pages. Maybe they made them somewhere else?
