2016 Honda CR-V

For the 2016 Honda CR-V, the heaviest concentration of complaints centers on the engine and fuel/propulsion systems, followed closely by electrical issues. On the engine side, owners frequently describe oil dilution, gasoline mixing into the engine oil, which they notice through a rising oil level and fuel smell from the dipstick. This is the single most recurring theme in the complaint set. The fuel/propulsion complaints often overlap, with owners reporting rough running, stalling, and hesitation under acceleration. Electrical complaints cover a range of symptoms: headlights cutting out while driving, multiple warning lights illuminating simultaneously alongside a loss of power, and battery drain tied to the smart locking system on door handles. Several owners describe repeated battery failures before tracing the drain to a faulty door handle sensor rather than the battery itself.
