Our 2007 Honda CRV just hit 300,000 miles today! No major issues… it feels sluggish to be sure. In March it went from being our primary car to secondary, so it might go a week without being driven these days.
I know it's hard to get to but yikes, this might be the original filter!
Hello guys , what you think is my 00 Honda Crv worth, clean title, motor was swapped from a 2001 with 162k fwd , repainted a year ago, has OEM side steps and rear, rear OEM wing, Tesla rims with matching spare, ac cold, drives great, valve done, ac compressor changed, distributor , ngk spark plug wires , ngk spark plug ,new black headlights, rear tails guard [rare]
Has anyone tried a little heavier oil in their newer.Hybrids? Been hearing that 5w-20is recommended over the 0-20 and supposedly overseas.CRV's recommend 5w-30!? What's everyone using, we live where the heat is way worse than the cold. Thank you
TL;DR - gave up trying to update and made it the dealership’s problem
Like a lot of you good folks, I’ve been struggling with the OTA update for my 2026 CRV (if it matters, it’s a Sport Touring). This will be a long post but I’m hoping it helps someone who’s having similar issues. Reading through posts on here and other Reddit subs really helped me feel less crazy when things weren’t going as expected.
I brought my car into the dealership a couple weeks back for the water pump software recall and tire inflator kit recall, and asked the tech if they could perform the OTA update too, but when I got my car back, the update notification was still there and they were slammed, so I just figured I could do it. I work in I.T., so how hard could it be?
Spoiler alert: VERY.
It connected one day randomly on my drive home from work and hung on the “System Initialization” screen or whatever that supposedly takes 3 minutes, tops. My commute is an hour, and nothing changed. Have no idea if it was on my hotspot or just cellular, since I was driving on the interstate and couldn’t check.
Then it would not connect to my home router in my garage/driveway or the WiFi at work, even though I park directly outside the office and work in I.T. so we have a good signal.
And, because it had technically started using the OTA method, I couldn’t do it via USB. So, that’s fun.
Then, yesterday, it started randomly trying at work. I kept going out to ensure the car wouldn’t turn off, but it took over an hour to get to 14%, then went back to 12% somehow (did you know CRVs can time travel?), and then stopped completely.
I tried forgetting all wireless connections, rebooting the infotainment, using my phone hotspot, using my husband’s hotspot, turning my phone off completely to try to get it to rely only on WiFi…nada enchilada. And yes, CarPlay was fully disabled in the settings on my phone during these attempts.
Finally, as a last resort, I took it back to the dealership today and asked if I could just connect to their guest WiFi in the parking lot to try to update. A very nice service tech let me park in the bay and use their guest WiFi, but it wouldn’t connect so we performed a factory reset.
Then it started right up and got to 96% and then stopped. I read on here that this could happen and would eventually resolve, but the tech suggested resetting the OTA system altogether. So, they took my car back and did that.
It took a bit over probably 2 hours today, but it’s done. I’m gonna leave a rave review for the tech because she was awesome for helping me out without an appointment, but holy shit, Honda needs to figure this out or just stop offering OTA updates and force owners to take cars to the dealerships for these things.
So, maybe just take the car to the dealership and let them sort it out, if you’re having issues updating. This was an unnecessarily annoying rollercoaster.
2022 CRV EX, just got this fail code and A/C stopped working at the same time. Have any of you had experienced this issue before?
Spotted this in the wild driving 280. Sick bumper cut! Tag the owner if he’s in here!
Got rear ended and had back “fixed” the gap seems large, are others just as big or am I remembering incorrectly
