What owners wrote

Side mirror rear visibility, particularly the right-hand side, is dangerously low. For example, when preparing to back into a parking space, one can not see the white lines to guide you in. Our previous 3rd generation (2007-2011) crv had superb side mirror visibility. The only way to correct honda's dangerous and inconvenient design flaw is to offer "reverse tilt door mirrors", which automatically tilt downward when reversing.

June 2018

After having a mandatory update done by honda january 3 2019 I no longer have heat in my vehicle when its below freezing. My windows cannot stay defrosted or safe to see out of. I have to keep pulling over to scrape windows during storms. Also february 14 I noticed my engine rapping badly. I had it towed to the honda dealer. My engine oil was 1 inch over the high fill line. Honda corporate told the dealership to tell me that it's 100% normal and fine, and oil dilution is normal and fine.
