I have a 2015 CR-V. Bought it brand new with 4 miles and now it has over 115k miles. Great on gas (33+ mpg on avg), easy to drive, really reliable and dependable. Only issue is there is a lot of noise into the cabin at any speed. Not sure if it is road noise or tire noise. But overall a good car. I will keep it for as long as I can.

[@BCautosolutions]

Awesome, thanks for sharing and great job with it 🙌

[@k.skyl1n3zz]

have to sound deaden the vehicle, I sound deadened the 2013 CRV, doors, wheel wells, and hatch, I lowered as close as 4-5 db from highway which more than half of the road noise was cut in half.

[@BCautosolutions]

I have a 2020 CRV Hybrid. No road noise here. There are some, but my mind doesn't register it. If it bothers you, put some sound dampening panel in your vehicle panels.

[@greglems206]

I have a 2016 with 52K miles and I love it! I did replace the timing chain tensioner, easy job. One other thing that happened to mine was that the blower motor started making a lot of squeaking noises inside the cabin and I had to replace it. Also an easy job.

[@BCautosolutions]

Sounds like it’s been solid overall! Thanks for sharing.

[@hokiefyd]

Thank you for this video. We were looking for a 4th generation CR-V for our daughter and I assumed we were looking for a 2012-2014 model, to avoid the CVT that the automotive media and internet pundits have conditioned us to dislike. This video gave me confidence that maybe the 2015 and 2016 were the pick of the 4th generation models. A few months ago, we bought a 2016 with 106k miles on it, a local one-owner trade in at a local dealer, and we can't be more pleased with it. The drivetrain is butter smooth and speed builds much more quickly than it seems like it should. The ride and handling balance is quite good and the overall vehicle size is near perfect. I think Honda did a great job with this powertrain. Thanks again for these "common issues" videos that point out both the problems and the strong points. These are great resources for those shopping used cars.

[@BCautosolutions]

@@hokiefyd yes i would totally go with the 15-16 over the 12-14. I believe I also have a common issue video on those as well. I personally owned one of these and it was absolutely great.

[@jasonlecreux1175]

The rear calipers are on these 12-16 CRVs are a common problem in my area. Even with periodic fluid changes and brake services, nothing seems to stop it. I probably replace 3-4 of them a month, and at our sample size that’s pretty high. Other parts of NA might not see it as bad as you head south, but even in the NJ area I would be amazed if you didn’t see this happening. All in all, I completely agree that the 15-16 CRV are also my favourite. I’m actually going to be looking into selling my 2018 2.0 civic and buying one of these. It will be the perfect addition to my other 2012 civic as far as reliability 👌🏼

[@BCautosolutions]

We do see some for sure but not on a consistent basis but now that you mention it I’ll probably see a ton of them 😅.

[@ocean694]

I have a 2016 Ex brought new. Now I have 100K+ miles, great car. I use 5w30 oil because the car runs much smoother and quieter. Only things I replaced were the rear brake pads, rotors and battery. The rear brake pads seemed to wear out faster than the front.

I have a 2012 CrV with 150k miles. Original owner. I still have the original rotors. Still surprised that they aren’t warped. Only thing that went wrong with it was the VTC actuator. I changed it myself in my garage for $200 with valve cover gasket with oem Honda parts. Also the compass went bad and started to always blink. So I unplugged the module under the headliner in the cargo area. It turned off the annoying blinking all together. I personally would take the 2012-2014 CRV for the traditional automatic.

[@BCautosolutions]

Awesome to hear. That compass is literally blinking on all of them now that you mention it. Not a biggie but the flashing gets annoying lol. I’m ok with either trans, I have seen a few cases of judders on the AT (of course lack of maintenance was a culprit there). Thanks for sharing

[@ME-oi9ul]

Our 2015 needed rear caliper kit to bring it into proper alignment early on. Other than that it has eaten five windshields since 2018. Has 175k on it, all highway miles. We got trans flush and do oil changes regularly. After the trans flush its louder going downhill. Great car overall.

I bought a 2015 CR-V with 60,000 miles and only issue i am having is the steering seems kinda stiff and when on the hiway it takes a lot of correcting to keep it in a straight line. Seems the stiff steering is causing the hiway problem. I had an alignment done but the problem is still there.

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah it has a variable effort rack it’ll be harder to steer on highways

[@jestan01]

We got a 2016 CRV EX brand new and it's been flawless for almost 7 years, just it's regular maintenance, it's got 40k miles currently, we did the rear diff flush, CVT flush, and break flush. Then two weeks ago while driving the engine started making noise on acceleration and some power loss, took it to the Honda dealer, it's still under the extended warranty 84m/100k expiring in 3 months no less. We were told the A/C Compressor failed, "it's not leaking" just not working they said, told me it would cost $3k to fix, confused I asked about the extended warranty coverage and after a few moments, they did confirm it. Now they say there's no part available and they have to order it. It's been almost two weeks and I have not heard from them, still waiting for that call back to return vehicle. IDK I wonder if I was paying out of pocket if they'd have the parts?

[@BCautosolutions]

If it’s on backorder doesn’t matter is it’s customer pay or not. If you suspect funny business then I’ll inquire at another dealer. Hopefully that’s not the case.

The rattle noise is apparent upon start up. moving from park to drive if the rpm is below 1000. noise appear sometime upon slowing down / or about to stop or on full stop. and its annoying.

[@BCautosolutions]

How’s your oil level?

[@schifoso]

My daughter has the 2016 with about 85K miles on it. A few months ago I did every fluid, brakes, spark plugs, serpentine belt, valve adjustment, etc. The worst part was the rear brakes - pads were really seized because of the rust and rust is not an issue around here. 🤔. Do not like those pads with the clips that go into the caliper piston. No issues with front rotors, but i completely agree with you about the rotors being to thin. Same in the Accords. But the Accord V6 6 speed rotors (or Pilot rotors) last a very long time. And the K24 does consume more oil as it ages. Otherwise it's a solid engine.

[@BCautosolutions]

Thanks for your input. 🫡

[@myfriendtony4465]

It's because the stupid dealership recommends to do 10000 mile oil changes. And everybody just listand then complains about oil consumption issues and engine problems. It's like hello you need to change your oil every five thousand miles

[@user-fw7qk3uz5v]

We have a low mileage 2016 CRV Touring that is starting to burn oil even after replacing the valve gasket. It burns about 1/2 qt in 3000 mi. We have followed the maintenance minder for service. It has 78000 mi. Should we trade it to avoid major engine repair later? Worried about it.

[@BCautosolutions]

Trade it in, Hondas algorithm for the maintenance is exactly what leads to these scenarios. 1/2 is technically within Hondas “acceptable” consumption rate but it’ll only get worse from here.

[@4Runner21]

Hey wats up man! Ty for the info! Just subbed! Hey we actually own a 2013 RDX with the 3.5, 82K miles that has never had a timing belt job. Last oil change tech advised the HYDRAULIC TENSIONER had the slightest oil leak that seems to have just started, but performance is still flawless. I was curious. I have already purchased the following parts for the job: Water Pump (Yamada) Timing Belt Tensioner Timing Belt Alternator Belt Every dealership I have called advised the above parts need to be replaced only, but my question is should the TENSIONER PULLEY and IDLER PULLEY also be replaced although there is no indication replacement needed? The dealers are advising they aren't maintenance items, please advise! Thanks again!

[@BCautosolutions]

Hey thanks for the support! I do agree what they are saying. I have never seen an oem t belt tensioner pulley and idler pulley fail. I would suggest not replacing them 👍🏻

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Great video man. We have a 2009 model we bought for mom and had a particular issue with the HVAC compressor. It started blasting hot air years ago. So we evacuated the system, changed the condenser and other components along with a new compressor, and it was working perfectly fine for years. Then it stopped working again, the compressor Pully seized, stopped the car, and caused a big headache. Then the VCT issue popped up, but that was a simple fix. The car is working fine now, but man we just want to get her a current model Acura RDX 2.0L

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah the compressor failures on that generation was pretty big. It even had a warranty extension for the compressor clutch for a while. Current gen rdx is a very nice vehicle. I think your mom would be very happy and the extra pep will be nice as well 👍🏻

[@k24wkevin]

Woohoo, my vehicle! It’s been a decent car so far and I just crossed 160,000 km not too long ago. With your advice I think I’ll be doing a lot better. One of the best things you can do if you have a non-touring model is add CarPlay with a USB (I believe it borrows software from the HRV). It is completely seamless with Lane Watch and everything. I’ve had everything happen to me with my vehicle with the water pump failing (100,000 km), timing belt tensioner (140,000 km) causing the rattle and brake rotors warping. I had an additional issue with a failed starter (150,000 km). At this point I’m due for a valve adjustment, brake fluid bleed and CVT filter change. Since I’m doing oil/fluid changes I’ll be more aggressive with that at around 5,000 km. I’m at 6,000 km right now and the oil is dark. Oil consumption seems to have slowed with a PCV valve change with a 3/4th left between the high and low dots (question, how much oil is between the two dots, would that mean it burns a quarter quart?) Of course one quirk about this car is that even as a 2016 model, when it’s warmed to temp, the low idle at around 650 rpm will vibrate the car. I would take vibrations over the L15 any day. 😅

[@metzmatu8409]

The space in between the minimum and the maximum indicators on the dipstick indicates around 1 litre or 1 quart of oil.

I discovered in a Honda Forum that the auto-unlock sensors on the door handles can go bad and cause a parasitic drain on the battery. For me, it was my passenger side. I noticed the handle unlocking when I came near it, even without touching it. I had the dealership disconnect the sensor on the passenger door lock and that fixed it for me.

I just got it used from Carmax w way too many miles for what I spent on it but lots of guarantees. I can also return in 30 days if I want. Like any new used car this suv is huge compared to my 1999 Forester I’m replacing. I did. my homework compared rav4 to this looked like Honda won in many areas. So I’m terrified has anyone’s keyless start stop ever not worked for them and what would be the fix? Also for the “ drain all the fluid and replace” WHST fluid and where. Any help much appreciated.

Great video. I have 2015 Cr-v Ex in same color. Bought used pre pandemic with 65K miles for great price. Now I have 106K. Did rear differential twice already and maintain everything well as I drive all day for work as Hospice worker. My ONLY issue with it is that on highway going 60+ MPH I feel a little vibration. Wheels are balanced and suspension is solid. I know these had the infamous vibration issues, but could it be an imbalance driveshaft on this year? That was an issue in the past. Some say it is the direct injection and offset cylinders that caused vibration in this year, but who knows. Otherwise, it has been great vehicle.

I traded in a 2005 Outback with blown head gaskets, so car was basically worthless on trade in but I walked out the door for $14k with tax with 65K miles. Plus mine had new Michelin Tires, front brakes and rotors. Make sure she there aren't any of the usual basic things needed like brakes, tires etc that you can bargain down if needed. if you pay asking an then need to do those normal things wear and tear items, then that isn't a great deal. Plus, see if she changed the CVT transmission and rear differential fluids were changed regularly. These are not LIFETIME fluids. Plus ask about vibration fix and if she had TSB done.

Honestly the cvt isn’t problematic at all. On the flip side the “conventional” transmission has juddering issues if the trans isn’t maintained. But yes your numbers are correct.

[@kevinpmoney6502]

Still waiting on your video about the 2012-2014 crv with the conventional transmission

[@BCautosolutions]

@@kevinpmoney6502 believe it or not it’s hard to come across one. It’s on my list.

Honda CVt are reliable - smooth quiet and reliable , great mpg . Just remember to do transmission drain and fill on time with Honda HCF2 fluid.

[@kevinpmoney6502]

Just can’t press on the gas to hard and you won’t have any big problems with cvt

[@melstevedorkiz4072]

AWESOME

[@BCautosolutions]

🙌

[@SuperMan-uj7dh]

Very nice car, but every model i had terrible vibration at idle. It made me feel nauseous as I'm sensitive to vibrations and such

[@BCautosolutions]

Sorry to hear that

[@angiewalo9537]

SAME HERE

[@ceburockhead]

Put the gear on neutral while on idle to mimimize vibration. Try another brand of fuel w 95 RON

There is a TSB for that

[@ceburockhead]

Bought 2 months ago a 2015 AT 2WD w 60,000 km run here in the Philippines @USD 12,000 , very nice handling and smooth transmission , minor rattle sound underneath in rough roads

[@BCautosolutions]

Awesome, rattle from front or rear? Front links fail pretty often, I’d look there first

[@ceburockhead]

@@BCautosolutionsfront under the hood it could be the stabilizer link?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@ceburockhead yep, noises play tricks on you. That would be the absolute first place I look.

[@dvveloza]

Good video. I have 2015 CR-V Touring and I feel the car jerking when going around 20mph. I press the gas faster the car accelerates no problem. I was told this is common with this CRV and there is a software update. Is that true?

[@BCautosolutions]

I would think more in the lines of torn intake tube or carbon on throttle body.

[@dvveloza]

⁠@@BCautosolutionsfunny that you say that. The other day I removed the intake tube to clean the throttle as I was experiencing low idle and vibration in park. I don’t have a check engine but I’m going to double check my work. Thanks

[@BCautosolutions]

@@dvveloza 👍🏻

[@dvveloza]

I checked the intake tube and the problem is not there. I checked online and there is a service bulletin 015-046 for all CRVs but when I called HONDA of Americas they told me my VIN wasn’t affected even though the service shows ALL CRVs. Can this software still be downloaded to see if this fixed the problem? The issue I have is a shudder from 20-30mph under normal acceleration. I also noticed the shudder gone when the engine is cool. I have no checked engine lights. Car has 42k miles. Any thoughts?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@dvveloza have you done any transmission maintenance at all?

[@user-sw9ng8ys6x]

What about the cvt transmission ??? Have heard bad things about

[@BCautosolutions]

Have seen some fail. They aren’t as bad as people make them out to be.

[@BigLou521]

We have a 22' CR-V FWD and a 22' HR-V AWD. How often should I change the transmission and rear differential fluids?

[@BCautosolutions]

30k for all

I follow the maintenance minder but yeah every 30k would be better

[@BCautosolutions]

💯

[@GiggidySquad]

Is this car good for off road?

[@BCautosolutions]

Very subtle surfaces sure. Not enough suspension travel or ground clearance for anything serious.

[@michaelcozzini5252]

Not a fan of the cvt. 2014 was the last year for the conventional transmission

[@BCautosolutions]

Better then some regular ones out there.

[@michaelcozzini5252]

Just don’t like the way the ride feels. I hear that Hondas are better than most cvt

[@dennisthemenace8854]

Bought an 08 biggest pos i ever owned literally fell apart at 100 thousand miles never another honda overpriced junk

[@BCautosolutions]

Sounds like you had a bad buy and someone took advantage of you 👍🏻
