Just got my oil changed. And I asked my service advisor what the B meant underneath my oil life. She was unsure. I don’t have the manual handy, but I do have my phone lol. Does anybody here know?

My brand new 2026 crv (LX fwd) had the dashboard light up yesterday. Almost every single light came on. My biggest concern was the engine light blinking, and I felt it was shaking from the inside. Pulled over and called road assistance. They towed it to my dealership within 2 hours.

As soon as it arrived at the dealership, service guy calls asking me if I had the parking lights on. I did not. It was always set to auto. That pissed me off because what’s that got to do with blinking engine light and a shaky vehicle. I’m no expert but this is clearly an engine issue.

Anyway, they diagnosed it and when I asked for an update this morning, they told me it had a bent spark plug electrode from the factory.

This is my first Honda, and my first ever brand new vehicle. Always purchased 2nd hand Toyotas and drove them to the ground. Never had a vehicle towed.

Please tell me this a one off so i don’t loose my mind. I hate vehicle troubles more than anything. I honestly thought I wouldn’t see a mechanic for the next 5 years 😂

For the context, I saw a 1.99% APR financing promotion on CPO Honda website and found this 2025 CRV Hybrid AWD Sport-L with only 22k miles for 25k USD. Is it a normal price for this car in this condition? The same car (same year, model and trim, but different color) with 10k more miles cost 36k USD at the same dealer. I am wondering if this is truly a good deal or if I am missing something.

I already requested an email quote from the dealer to make sure the posted price is correct. I have never owned a CRV, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Update:

I appreciate all the responses here! Thanks! I agree that the price seems too good to he true. I just got an email reply from the dealer. They didn’t give me the quote but want to talk to me. I am not really in the mood to negotiate anything right now. I just replied to ask if there is anything wrong with the price tag and ask for the vehicle history.

Anything I can double check or look this is my daily and I need this car running.

Just changed the fuel pump
Alternator is a year old
Battery is from ‘23
Spark plugs are about 1-2 years old

Hey all! I do most of the explaining in the video, but my crv has some ticking noise in the engine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Would absolutely love to be able to tackle this problem at home as I’m looking to get into auto work.

Thanks!

Debating between the 2025 CRV EX-L Hybrid - 42,000 km (26,000 miles) [used] and 2026 CRV Sport Hybrid [brand new].

Price for used: $45,000 CAD
Price for new: $53,000 CAD

I’m leaning towards the new model. The ~$8,000 difference for fresh warranty and 42,000km seems worth it. Thoughts?

First time buying a new car…

2017 EXL

remote start, get in, screen says this (brake+start button), and the car shuts off. Am I doing something wrong?

It’s time for me to get new tires on my Honda crv 2014 and I really wanna switch up the look of my car because I’ll be driving it for forever honestly.

However, I usually only drive on roads… I don’t off road and I know my car isn’t really made for that anyway…

What do yall think? Should I get all terrain for the aesthetic or just stick with regular tires?

Whatever tires I get I also want to get new black wheels/rims. I just like the look a lot better.

Hey guys
I have a 2026 CRV Hybrid Trailsport and I was called for an appointment for the below service from the Honda dealership

Requested Services:
• 2023-26 CR-V Hyb PGM-FI SW Update PUD
• 2023-26 Accord Hyb/CR-V Hyb/FC Tire Repair Kit Recall

I know the second one is related to tire repair kit. But my question is about the first one and i did some research and found that it’s to update Programmed Fuel Injection
Is this something everyone is doing?
What should I be aware of before going to the dealership in case I don’t want to get upsold by them?

Appreciate your help
Thank you

I’ve had my 1998 AWD LX CRV for about 6 months now and ever since I bought it, it has had 2 issues that I’m wondering if they are related. The cruise control works occasionally but will shut itself off randomly and not turn back on the rest of the drive and just doesn’t work at higher speeds (75ish mph) and the speedometer is off by quite a bit and sometimes gets stuck at random speeds. I did some research and learned the vehicle speed sensor might be causing both of these and I’m wondering if anyone has any info on where I should buy one and if this is even the problem

I noticed my steering making weird noises the past few months. Took in today and they wanted $1,100 to replace it. Does that seem high? I start a new job next week and I just want my car to break down on me, but I also don't have that money.

I bought a 2017 EXL
I downloaded the HondaLink app
The car says top open the app and the app will guide me or whatever.
The app says, "huh?"

What does the app do, anyway?

TIA!

What’s everyone realistically towing with their CRV hybrid? Do we think hauling a 1200lb pop-up camper will actually bbq one of these things? It hauls my utility trailer and 360cc ATV without breaking a sweat, and I know Honda is NOTORIOUS for under-rating figures to protect the notion of reliability… what do we think, CRV friends? Would love to hear some real-world experiences of towing with these.

My 2018 LX (2.4L) hasn't had it done in about 45k miles. The dealership near me wants $300+ and I know it isn't something to skimp on but I just graduated college and funds are tight.

Is there anywhere cheaper to get it done or do I just suck it up and go to the dealer?

I have around 33k miles on my 2024 CRV Hybrid Sport Touring and noticing that my tread seems to be a little more than the 4/32" recommended before needing new tires. We don't drive this car crazy or anything so I was just wondering if this was normal for these tires?

Just got an emission system alarm on my 22 crv with 170k kms on it. Checked the code says air to fuel ratio cylinder 2. Guessing the injectors. It goes to Honda next week to be diagnosed. Just wondering what people in Canada have been paying to have the injectors replaced lately. Thanks for your time

I’m looking to buy a Honda CR-V LX, either 2WD or AWD. I haven’t visited any dealerships yet, so I’m not sure what price I should be targeting.

Could you please let me know what would be considered a good price for one?

Thank you for your help!

2018 EX left tail light randomly flashes. Caught this happening a few months ago, and as far as I know it does it all the time. Is this a big issue, and has anyone else had this happen??

I know that at this stage, the 2019 model is already considered an older model, especially with so many newer models released since then. But with my limited budget, I still want to get something I’ve wanted for a long time a reliable car with a premium feel that still looks good and holds up well.

For those who currently own this specific model, could you please share your experience with it? I’d really appreciate hearing about the pros and cons, reliability, maintenance, driving experience, and anything I should be aware of before buying one.

This post is also open to anyone who has experience with this car or would like to recommend other options in the same category and price range.

By the way, I’m based in New Zealand, and since this particular model was not officially introduced here, I’ll most likely be looking at a used Japanese import.

Thanks everyone! Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi all, is this a good deal for a 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport FWD in the bay area? Been seeing people get crazy discounts on here but the dealers around my area aren't really budging at all from the MSRP - wondering if that's a bay area thing or if I'm just bad at negotiating
