2002 Honda CR-V LX review from North America
"Not recommended at all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The drivers' door key cylinder became faulty at 40,000 - it started "sticking" when trying to unlock door. I was told by Service the cost would be $180.00. I opted not to replace and just leave CRV unlocked.
The steering wheel showed excessive wear around 37,000. Seems to be too soon for this problem.
The air compressor had to be replaced at 57,400. Replacement/repair by Honda was quoted $1000.00. We sought another source and paid $622.00. When this problem occurred, my decision was made to trade this vehicle due to poor quality and expensive Service Department.
General comments?
This vehicle has a very small gas tank (12 gallon), which placed me at a gas pump every 3rd day.
The head rests are not a comfortable angle - the tilt is the opposite direction it should be.
The road "noise" is very loud inside cabin. Even when the radio volume is turned as high as possible, the noise is still very prominent.
