The Honda CR-V is an excellent vehicle with regular servicing should have very few problems. Areas to keep an eye on are the CV axles and wheel bearings which have a tendency to fail. Remember to maintain regular intervals for changing the transmission fluid and transfer case fluid to avoid premature problems with the drive train. It’s common for CR-V to experience A/C system problems on occasion. We advise regular oil services for the general health of your vehicle, but also to avoid problems with the VTC (variable timing control) actuators which we see fail on CR-Vs that don’t have the oil changed enough. ABS wheel sensors are another weak point and should be changed out when bad or risk not having anti-lock braking during a panic stop.
