Guys i have 2012 CRV 4WD. Mga 1 month pa lang sa akin. It has 54k on the odo. After i got it dinala ko sa Casa for PMS. There are no problems with the car except there's a rattle that i feel sa steering wheel when going through some road imperfections or really bad speed bumps sa subdivision. I had it road tested at the Casa sabi nasa tires ko daw kasi low profile. I had since changed to thicker tires basically from 50 series to 55 series pero nandoon pa rin ang rattle.
I have a brand new car that feels solid at the steering wheel regardless of road conditions and with the same 55 series tires kaya sure ako na hindi gulong ang problema.
Probable causes that you need to have them check:
- have them check the retaining collar for damage. lf it is damaged, have it replaced
- steering column ball bearing and the steering joint bearings for play and proper movement. lf there is noise or if there is excessive play, your steering column assembly has a problem
- inspection of the absorbing plates, absorbing plate guides and sliding capsules for distortion or breakage. If distorted or broken, the steering column needs replacement
Oftentimes, the casa just makes a quick assessment without challenging themselves to find the root cause of your concern. Am sure they have a more comprehensive list of probable sources to troubleshoot and pinpoint.
Have no answer, am sorry. Ang alam ko lang, is that ang specialization ng Cruven is to restore underchassis parts (injectable system). I don't think ma-trace din ng diagnostic scanner problem ng steering mo, mechanical kasi.
Hello Guys. Is this thread still alive?
Someone offered me a CRV 2nd Gen 2003 with 69KM mileage.
for 140K and on installment pa yan.
Is this a good deal?

Hello, CRV fam,
Im planning to purchase a used 2016 model sometime in the next few months. 2016 because its face lifted and matic version doesn't come with CVT tranny (or so I heard).
I need a vehicle that is spacious and comfortable for long (and frequent) drives.
How's your experience with CRVs power at the low end? I've heard its sluggish at low gear and likes to rev high, not until vtec kicks in. Is that true?
Concerned with overtaking and uphill on provincial roads.
Im actually torn between a 2016 Forester XT, 2.0 turbo AWD and 2016 CRV. More inclined with V because of reliability and maintenance.
I can get a pickup instead... But family, you know
More power guys, cheers!

I think 2016 was the last year of the CRV 4th gen. It came with either a 2.0L NA engine (FWD) and a 2.4L NA engine (AWD), both models paired with a 5-speed AT tranny.
In 2017, the 5th gen came out and locally, it came either a 2.0L gas NA engine with CVT or the 1.6L turbo diesel with AT tranny.

Today is day 1 of my 2017 2.4 SX. Good partner to my IS350, which is why I had to let go of my beloved Civic since it was redundant to have 2 sedans.
We’ve had a 5th gen CRV for 4 years now so it’s much of the same really. Just that the 2.4 has much more low-end torque vs the 5th gen 2.0. AWD is also welcome though I don’t know where I’ll actually need it.
Handling of the 4th gen (RM) isn’t as planted as the 5th gen (RW), but ride comfort is in the same ballpark. Legroom isn’t bad either, though the cargo area is smaller than that of the 5th gen. I get power seats and rain-sensing wipers in the 2.4SX but lose out on the all-important Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Compared to my Civic, it’s obviously much less fun for cornering and isn’t as attractive, but it’s undoubtedly more practical - more space, more ground clearance. It’s a more grown-up car, literally and figuratively. Perfect partner to the Lexus which has become my fun-to-drive option.

New (old) shoes on the CRV. The spirit of the Civic lives on.
