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

That’s the carfax, is it worth 10k? I’m trying to find a 1st or 2nd gen CRV low mileage or atleast 90-150k miles, clean title priced reasonably and when I find one it’s so far away I live in Ohio and I can’t find shit

like who wanted this lmaoo? who thought this was the direction to take the CR-V in?? 😭 maybe that was just the thing to do at the time, but compared to the previous 2 generations it's giving those images comparing healthy pugs to inbred ones

This is 1997 automatic Honda CRV.

A bit ago, I ran into a series of troubles. Went to replace my CV axle, accidentally strip the ball joint, etc.

But during the replacement, my car stopped working. My friend who was helping me, though it might be the neutral switch and *vigorously shifted gears up and down, from P though all of to D1 and back repeatedly.* I'm pretty sure that whatever loosened or broke, did so then.

But I haven't been able to find it. I replaced the shift gear selector in it's entirety, and nothing. It wouldn't be the cable would it? I took a video of what it's doing. But this thing sadly doesn't have a shift linkage bushing. So many things said that's what I need to fix, and it doesn't have one.

Is it realistic to ask around in Los Angeles county area? I’m flexible on the timing and willing to go 100-150 miles out to get the deal (Ventura/oxnard to Temecula area). Value your advice on pricing if I call and ask the dealers since the online MSRP post I am seeing are 42,500.

Hi all! I am thinking of test-driving/purchasing a 2016 Honda CR-V with 152,235 miles for $7,700 USD / 245,000 km for $10,900 CAD. I would appreciate any thoughts on whether this is a good condition or price to reconcile the higher mileage! (Pics enclosed)

Usually I'd ask my dad, but he's not here anymore so I figured I might turn to the good people of the internet. I would really appreciate any help from people who know cars, since I don't know much other than what I've been googling. I did read on other threads/blogs about how I should steer clear of 150,000+ miles / 200,000+ km cars, but this price looks good and the condition seems well-kept! So I'm curious if this is a good buy (or if maybe I'm just exhausted from car-searching and getting worn down, lol).

Just looking for a car for the next few years, so don't expect it to last forever (ideally as long as possible though, of course - I'm a fresh graduate so just starting my career!)

I will say that I'm Atlantic Canadian (hence the double units in this post haha), so I live in a coastal place with snow in the winter. But I'm mainly a city driver, where there isn't a lot of snow on the roads themselves but there is a lot of salt, thanks to the city's plows. Not sure if that matters but figured I'd share for context re potential maintenance.

The listing's description is below for context:

• "2016 Honda CR-V Touring AWD – Fully Loaded – Fresh Inspection – $10,900 CAD
• Selling our 2016 Honda CR-V Touring AWD, the top trim. We're moving to a minivan for our growing family, and this SUV has been reliable for us.
• Details:
• About 245,000 km
• 2.4L 4-cylinder, automatic (CVT), all-wheel drive 2 owners, no accidents
• Fresh motor vehicle inspection, just completed and valid for 2 years
• Brand new rear brakes
• Regular oil changes and maintenance
• Features Leather seats, heated front seats
• Navigation, backup camera, Honda LaneWatch camera
• Power sunroof

• Adaptive cruise control, forward collision and lane departure warnings
• Push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control
• Bluetooth

• Good overall condition inside and out. There's a minor scrape on the plastic front bumper cover, shown in the photos."

I am worried because of any transmission issues, but not sure if that's a true concern or if I'm just coincidentally coming across a smaller group of unfortunate commenters in other posts...

Thank you so much in advance! Appreciate any advice!

I recently purchased a set of OZ Racing wheels (the ones found on a Mitsubishi Evolution VI and manufactured by Enkei) from a seller who had them on his Honda Prelude track car. He also supplied me with 4 hubcentric rings (these from Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08MDGZR7V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) that I installed on my Honda CRV 2016 today, along with new tyres, however, the hubcentric rings from Amazon aren't wide enough to actually fill the gap.

While they do fit the hub of 64.1mm of my Honda CRV and inside the 67.1 diameter of the wheels, I’ve been told that they’re not wide enough and I may require tapered or beveled hub-centric rings.

I've attached photos of the current hub centric rings, the CRVs hub and how they fit inside the wheels for your reference.

I've checked with the tyre shop where I bought the tyres from, a custom wheels workshop who didn't have ANY Hubcentric rings except 73mm and suggested boring out my current wheels to 73mm and selling me a set of those rings instead and another tyre place who suggested I contact a proper wheel shop that does custom jobs, but they quoted me AUD 160 for a set of 4 rings, which seemed steep to me.

I've now swapped them back with the factory/original stock rims again as it's not safe to drive on these new rims until I get hubcentric rings that actually fit properly since my lug nuts are mag seat lugs since that's what these wheels accommodate.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where I can buy these locally within Australia?

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!!!

2003 crv leaking psf on passenger side boot. Just wondering what I could do to fix this.

Can anyone help me with this problem i’m having. I don’t know why these windshield wipers won’t fit my 08 honda cr-v? I looked for the right size (26”) for my car’s model and year but I don’t know if it’s the wrong size for my model or the wiper is faulty. What size does everyone get for their car for the driver side wiper?

Edit: It was indeed the wrong wiper. I didn’t know there were different types 😭 I did end up buying the beam type and it was perfect! Thanks everyone (•:

Hi! I currently own a 2000 Honda CR-V. When I was in high school, I installed a massive subwoofer setup for the car: two 10-inch subs. Now, I’m looking to replace the setup because it takes up too much space. My question is, what all-in-one system would you guys recommend, or is there a cheaper option I might not have considered?

Hello

I have a 2026 Honda CR-V SPORT HYBRID, and the thing is, this car has given me nothing but trips to the dealership.

I have put about 12,500 miles on it, and for some reason, its ruise control just slams on the brakes for no reason.

My first time this happened was at 2980 miles, can dealership just checked it, this is the tire was low.

Then again at 5500ish miles, it returns, but this time I took it again to the dealership. And he kept it for 2 days, and replaced the wheel speed sensor because that was malfunctioning for some reason. Alongside, they replaced the tire just in case.

Now at exactly 12,480 miles, the same thing is happening and i've scheduled again with the dealership to get it checked out. Another problem has now arisen, where the steering wheel just locks up. While i'm driving and it makes like a creaking sound, and gets really heavy at randomly.

My appointment for tomorrow to dealership. Wants to keep it for at least 3-4 days. Which i'm okay with, but my brand new car for just to stay at the dealership is just stressful.

Otherwise that I love this car, but the technical problems i've had with this are just mind blowing For me specifically as i got it brand new.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Edit: I changed 42 to 2 as its 2 days, not 42, sorry.

We’re considering a Honda CRV 2026 as the family car, and I’m trying to think through the boring stuff before it gets annoying. The second row is going to get everything: kid shoes, snacks, wet umbrellas, and probably one mystery spill nobody owns up to. For current CR-V owners, is the rear floor coverage fairly easy to manage, or are there gaps around the seat rails and center area that collect everything? I’m mainly trying to figure out whether fit around the second row matters more than the material, because that seems like the first spot families destroy when the floor mats don’t cover the right areas.

Hi everyone! English is not my first language, so I hope you can understand me. I hope you’re all doing well.

I recently bought a 2018 Honda CR-V Touring. The vehicle had been involved in an accident on the right-hand side, damaging both doors and the right fender. All of these parts have been replaced, and honestly, the vehicle runs amazingly well.

The only issue that remains is this error code, which is shown in the attached picture.

The car was scanned, and the scanner suggested a possible problem with the passenger-side door antenna. They cleared the error code, but it keeps coming back.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, or has anyone experienced something similar?

The car runs and starts without any problems, but the rear tailgate won’t open using the button on the remote key fob. I’ve already replaced the key fob batteries, but the problem persists.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Parting out 01 Crv, 162,000 miles lmk what you guys need, can ship too at buyers expense.

I rarely see any with a screen from standard, of course it's far different from the modern fancy head units that come with more than you'll ever need, and no doubt the satnav is long outdated - but I'd love to actually see one working and how the interface is but I can't find any videos online at all.

Anyone know a video?

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!!! ✌🏾

We are new (to us) owners to a 2025 cr-v touring hybrid. We loooove our new crv​! We had great service at the dealership...until about 2 weeks after...we LOST the key fob!! It detached from the metal key, and fell off the face of the earth. We live in a town house with underground parking. I parked it downstairs, walked up to my town house, then the next morning, my partner was to use the CRV only to find we had JUST the metal key on the key ring! How bizzare! Why is the key fob designed this way?? We had to tow the car to the dealership (thankfully roadside assistance covered this) and i spent $480 for an additional key.

Should I further complain??? We were only given 1 key at time of sale. Im assuming the previous owner lost the 2nd key. And basically the dealership was like 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wwyd???

so i changed out the battery in my 2023 crv key fob. The key fob goes back together fine. However when i pet the key in the slot and push down it doesnt lock in. You can hear it click but the slightest pull on it wothout hitting the release button it comes right out

When i take the key fob apart again. Put the key in and than put the 2 sided together the key is completely locked in. However when i hit the button to unlock the key. The key comes out. When i put the key back it wont lock in like before

This is the most frustrating thing ever. Anyone ever fun into this issue ???
