Owner report 11458586 · 2022-03-28 (March 28, 2022)
The heating system on the vehicle is insufficient. The cabin does not warm up when idling in the winter. Defrosting on cold days becomes an issue which creates a potential hazard for visibility. The red bar on the temperature guage will not appear when idling and the temperature rises and the red bar appears only after the car has been driven. Searching online on this issue indicates this is an issue where many CRV owners have had this weak heating system issue. I contacted the dealer and they said "Yes we are aware of that. And that's the way …

Owner report 11461861 · 2022-04-23 (April 23, 2022)
I just bought (last month) a new, 2022 Honda CR-V-EX-L. I have always been a Honda girl, and decided it was time for a new car and bought another Honda…..my 3rd CR-V (I also had a pilot).
