There are 3 owner-reported powertrain & transmission complaints for the 2025 Honda CR-Vin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
After driving in snowy or icy conditions, per JL Freed Honda Dealership in Montgomeryville, PA, snow/ice accumulates in drive axel. This causes loud noise when accelerating, and when braking. This happened twice this winter.
At 17,000 miles and 17 months of ownership the car started clattering badly on startup. The check engine light came on as well as an advisory that there might be an emissions problem, and to take the car to the dealer. We had it towed in (inconvenient as we were out of town). The problem was diagnosed as faulty fuel injectors which are being replaced under warranty. We were told this is not an uncommon problem for the 2025 hybrid CR-V.
Per dealer service department, cylinder one (1) rocker arm/lifter was getting stuck and caused a system and transmission failure.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
