  2017 Honda CRV EX-L has a mind of its own - 2017 Honda CR V
  By FrankZ - November 7 - 4:22 pm

  Bought this car after owning a 2013 Pilot and wife owns a 2015 CRV. A few of the problems I had were: creaking noise from steering wheel, mirror monitors on both sides would illuminate with no other cars were around, biggest issue was the accident mitigation(auto braking) suddenly came on with no vehicle anywhere around me. Needless to say when you car suddenly brakes for no reason(warm sunny day) that will get your attention. I traded the car in even though I lost a lot of money. I was told by the dealer that there was a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for this issue. I also found the info display hard to navigate, you spend too much time trying to find what you are looking for.

  Great car except for the seats. - 2017 Honda CR V
  By Chuck - October 4 - 7:25 pm

  I like everything about the car except the seats are so uncomfortable. I guess I should have done a longer test drive. This car has everything I want in a car especially all the safety features but it is so uncomfortable to drive that I dont want to even drive it more that 10 miles. If I go farther than that my back starts to ache and my right hip hurts and I just want out of the car. Ive tried some cushions but they are uncomfortable also. Im not sure what to do now.

  Great car but terrible front seat. - 2017 Honda CR V
  By Chuck - April 18 - 5:50 pm

  This is my first Honda and I thought I would love it. But the front drivers seat is so uncomfortable that it is a torture to drive it more than 20 miles. My right hip and lower back hurt so bad it takes all the fun out driving. Everything else in the car is great. I love all the safety features but I might have to take a financial loss and try a different car.

  Poor exterior fit and finish - 2017 Honda CR V
  By L.E.E. - March 4 - 10:03 am

  Fenders, hood are misaligned. Large and uneven gaps. Adjacent sheet metal surfaces do not flow together. Excessive panel adhesive on interior of all doors leaves raised rough surfaces. Other than crude finish, seems to be a decent car. After three weeks of ownership, Ill see what the dealership will do. Wish me luck! Update to dealer visit: According to dealer tech, I will have to live with the poor build quality. Also, your CR-V, came out of Canada and does not have the quality of 2016 and previous generations. Look around the lot, the 2017s arent that well made. If we try to improve alignment of hood and fenders, we could make it worse. What a great buying experience. I will get into a Chevy, sooner than later.

  Could be better - 2017 Honda CR V
  By Ann - July 13 - 7:13 pm

  I tested this car as was interested in the 2017 revamp. The 190hp is weak and noisy. Sitting in the back seat its noisy there as well. I dont like the shifter being so far up and forward as its awkward and can block controls when in park. Honestly I wish they would bring back V6 engine as most of the fours are so noisy and lack sufficient power. Overall found the car like an appliance rather then something fun or interesting to drive.

  Happy at first !! - 2017 Honda CR V
  By Janice - August 8 - 1:55 am

  This car DOES NOT allow the capability of audio gps reception from cell phone through the car audio speakers ! Only phone features can be received through the system ! That pisses me off because my 2015 CRV had ALL that ! I cannot drive AND read cell phone directions at the same time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Poor build quality - 2017 Honda CR V
  By Brett - October 30 - 5:57 pm

  Hood and tailgate came misaligned from the factory. Large gap on one side and almost touching the surrounding body panel on the other side for the hood. Tailgate flush to surrounding body panel on one side and inset with larger gap difference on the other side. Dealership acknowledged issue but diverted me to Honda to resolve. Usually this is something you only need to look for in a Used vehicle to check if it has visited a body shop before. Not something that crosses your mind to look for with a new vehicle. Overall driving is good but does have more road noise than an MDX or larger vehicle. Gas mileage is good. Interior is nicely laid out. CarPlay works great for navigation and playing music from Amazon Prime or Pandora. Bluetooth phone works great using an iPhone 6s or newer. Heater painted on lines on back tailgate window peel off if the dealer tapes your temporary license on the lines.
