Common Problem
Battery Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the 2019 Honda CR-V is battery failure. Several owners have reported their batteries dying unexpectedly, sometimes multiple times within a short period. This problem may be linked to software issues or the alternator's clutch mechanism, which doesn't charge the battery during short trips. Regular longer drives are recommended to maintain battery health.
Fuel-Oil Dilution
Fuel-oil dilution has been a persistent issue for the CR-V models, particularly in colder climates, but it can also occur in warmer areas. This problem involves gasoline mixing with engine oil, potentially leading to engine damage. Honda has issued software updates and hardware fixes to mitigate this issue, but some users still experience it.
Warning Lights and Electrical Problems
Some owners have reported multiple warning lights appearing simultaneously, indicating various system problems such as tire pressure, emissions, brake, and power steering issues. Despite numerous visits to dealerships and attempts to fix these problems, they persist for some users. In extreme cases, lemon laws might be applicable if the vehicle cannot be repaired after several attempts.
Steering and Suspension Concerns
There are reports of steering rack issues and clicking sounds when turning, which could be related to sensitive steering components. These problems might arise from road conditions or manufacturing defects. Ball joints and injectors have also been identified as weak points in the CR-V.
Fuel Pump Recall
The 2019 CR-V was subject to a recall for fuel pump issues, which led to breakdowns for some owners after servicing. If experiencing repeated failures, it is advisable to pursue repairs through Honda and consider lemon laws if the problem persists.
Considerations Beyond the Discussions
While these discussions highlight common issues, it's important to weigh these against personal experiences and reviews from other sources. Consider warranty coverage, dealership service quality, and potential costs for repairs when deciding on purchasing a 2019 Honda CR-V.
