I have a single 12 inch sub with my amp right next to it. What can I do to make the table underneath more accessible? Is there anyway I can elevate the sub and the amp with a shelf?

Lmk what you guys have done.

I have a 2016 CR-V EX-L with 71,000 miles. Bought it in 2019 with around 47,000 miles on it. We live in Carmel, Indiana, the city with the most roundabouts in the entire country. As a consequence of these roundabouts, the tires wear out in such a way that you cannot rotate them properly; at least that’s what I was told at Discount Tire.

They are definitely showing wear, and I have my eyes on Costco for when they’ll have their next Michelin markdown… I’m thinking of a set of Defender 2s, which ChatGPT suggested were a good choice for this kind of driving. Those tires are rated for 80,000 miles, but we only put at best 7000 miles a year on the car, and my wife wants something else in the next two years. We only have this one car, so I wouldn’t mind it staying in my hands after she gets what she wants.

Anyway, maybe I don’t need an 80,000 mile tire? The quoted price was $900 so I can probably get another 60 to 100 knocked off of that when they have their promotion.

Interested in any recommendations out there from other CRV owners who might have dealt with this situation.

Hi guys, I just bought a 2014 Honda CR-V and it came installed with cross bars and a roof rack. I currently am averaging around 21.5 mpg since I got it, with a mix of city driving and highway driving, not terrible but a little low from what I expected and from what I've seen online. I drive pretty conservatively and I've only had this car for a few days, not sure how fast the MPG updates on the display. Got it checked at the mechanic and put in a new air filter as well.

How much will my MPG improve if I remove this roof rack? Ideally I'd like to keep the cross bars installed, but how much would my MPG improve if I removed those as well?

RECALL: 2026 Crv Hybrid Sport -Got a recall notification from honda after entering my vin on their website. Previously had a 2020 Accord Sport 1.5L had the same head gasket blown issue after turbo underboost issue. What is going on with Honda. Have a service booked with them next month.

Hello everyone. I bought a 2026 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring Monday afternoon and it was early evening when I drove home. Everything seemed fine. I was driving back to the dealership Tuesday afternoon to give the salesman the 2nd key fob I had for my old Civic. On my way there, I noticed the radio screen was very dim. I tried maxing out the brightness in the settings and that barely made a difference. Increasing the gamma made it too bright and hurt to look at, so I changed it back to what it was. I am using Android Auto and use Waze.

I arrived at the dealer met the salesman who sold me the car to give him that other key fob and I asked about the screen. He came out and had a look. Even he was puzzled by it and tried different things. He had me adjust the brightness on the infotainment screen (which seemed to have zero effect regardless of the setting). I did some searching and held the home, back, and power buttons and rebooted. I also did a factory reset which seemingly did nothing. The salesman had me drive to the back of the dealer to sit in another Touring and we saw that the screen was noticeably brighter (as it should look) but couldn't figure out why. He scheduled a maintenance appointment for me for this weekend, but said I could call him if I figured it out or something changes before then.

While I was driving home, the screen was suddenly much brighter (not cranked up, but just how it should look). The sun was still out and there wasn't much, if any change in visibility. I did read that blocking a sensor could be a culprit, but I have nothing on my dash and just had my phone sitting on the wireless charger. I'm not sure what the issue could be or the fix. I work nights, so it'll be a little harder to test during the day but I will be doing some morning driving over the next few days.

Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

the exterior weatherstrip on the windows on my 2011 have gone gooey. has anyone had good experience with the aftermarket ones from amazon, ebay, etc? if so what brand did you buy? OEM part # 72410-SWA-A01, 72450-SWA-A01, 72910-SWA-A01, 72950-SWA-A01; honda calls it belt molding. oem is US$90+ each, while an Amazon one i found is $35.99 for a set of 4. obviously much cheaper but I don't wanna end up with junk and have to change it again within a few years, especially for the front where the door panel has to come off.

Ok. So I’ve had my CRV Trailsport Hybrid for 2 weeks now and I’m noticing that I can’t seem to figure out how to run the battery most of the time. I do city driving for my commute and it’s so inconsistent when it kicks on. Is there a trick? Right not I have it on econ and I use D.

I recently purchased a super low mileage 2022 CRV. It syncs up to my phone and I can get calls but it doesn't alert me about text messages. It's new enough (to me) that I feel like this is something that it should do. I'm android based if that helps any. Thanks in advance for any help.

Been using this lil thing for traveling with the fam and I wanted to free up some space inside

Any recommendations on some rails n a rack?

Hi all. I need a body part for my 2005 Honda CRV SE. And it has been discontinued from all the parts stores in the states. However, it shows available in a parts store in the UK and in Japan. I guess because these are out of the United States, it does not recognize my VIN when I enter it. As long as the part number is the same, should this part fit my car?

Hey guys. I replaced my compressor and condenser and properly pulled vacuum/filled Freon. My AC condenser fan turns on for about 1 second and shuts off. Is there a specific relay to check before pulling/replacing the fan? I don’t have access to my multimeter atm

Been debating just adding the same tint to the driver and passenger side windows so it all matches, but didn't know what tint percentage they were

hey all, i have a 2014 cr-v and learned you can keep the trunk/hatch open for hours without the battery draining by putting a carabiner in the latch. I tried it, expecting the hatch light to shut off as evidence it was working. The light didn’t go off, so now I have a couple questions:

Is the light the only thing that drains the battery on a 2014 or does the computer also turn on with this model’s trunk open?(aka: if I just shut off the interior lights, can I leave the hatch open?)

Has anyone gotten this to work on a 2014 model?

In addition to the door rattling...the radio rattles, the dashboard rattles, the driver window rattles, the heater doesn't get remotely warm until it's turned to 84 (low-83 is basically all the same temp), the steering wheel makes a cranking noise when turning and whenever I press the gas pedal between 1.5-2 rpm it sounds like there's a cicada under the hood of my car.

2024 CR-V, bought brand new. Only 11,000 miles done in a little over two years. This is our third CR-V in 13 years and because of the endless issues I've had with this car, I will never buy a CR-V ever again.

I have a 2007, 3rd generation CRV all-wheel-drive. One of my front struts is bad and was looking for a suggestions of what brand anybody else has gone with.
Right now I am looking at the KYB plus quick strut, which comes completely assembled and seems to bolt in much easier then having to diagnose specific parts and having to compress the spring to put it over the piston of bolts right in.
I cannot afford to do the full set right now, so I plan on doing the two fronts now and the rear in a few weeks.
I am reading good and bad things about the KYB plus. Most of the negative reviews seem to be before 2020 and not sure if maybe KYB has made any changes to make them better.

Also, I will need to consider pads and rotors in the next few months. If anybody has any suggestions or has had good or bad luck with any brand in particular, I would appreciate the information.
Any suggestions on quick struts or install installation problems or anything at all would help

Anyone else smell chemicals when using their A/C? Last year, I smelled chemicals when using my A/C. Took it in several times and was mostly blown off.

Eventually, they discovered that the AC charge was low and supposedly fixed it. (I wonder if they were just placating me now.)

I'm having the same problem again this year.

I'm very worried because I don't want to be breathing this garbage all the time.

I have a 2024 Hybrid Sport and I noticed that the A/C is super weak sometimes. Weather here in VA is about 88 degree, I start the car, drive, hit the interstate and it’s almost like it’s barely coming out. When I take an exit or slowing down to 25-45mph it seems like it ramps back up and is normal… what gives? Anyone else? Cabin filter seems clean also. Recently replaced the blower fan because the factory one was going out. (It’s OEM)

It will just randomly disconnect, whether plugged in to the left USB-C port or wireless. iPhone 16 pro. The maps, Google, or Apple, will just freeze randomly, and eventually disconnect a few minutes later. It has happened many times when I’m on a busy highway with multiple exits near one another, one of which i have to take. But then it won’t allow my phone to fully disconnect so that I can just use the map on the phone! When I try to disconnect it, either from the Wi-Fi on the phone, or on the car itself, it will disconnect and then reconnect within 20 or 30 seconds. So I can’t just skip the CarPlay altogether. Truly a dangerous bug.

Brought it into the dealership, The tech said that they have had several such reported issues, and no solution for me. They did a reset of the Car’s computer and send me on my way. Did not fix the issue. Happens with other people‘s phones as well as mine. Honestly infuriating, And an insane issue to be having with a brand new car, especially when there is no option to go without these stupid screens that are in every new car nowadays.

Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it? I’m losing it over here.

PS the lack of two finger pinched to zoom on the maps apps in 2026 is also a crazy oversight. Navigating the maps, we’re trying to get an overview of the route, feels far more dangerous on CarPlay than just holding the phone. Really really wishing I had gone for a RAV4 instead, which seem to have none of these issues.

The sales man only offered taxes to be included. Tried negotiating and he offered $35.8k.

I wanted to buy in full but he said could only finance.

First time buyer. I told him i’ll look around.

Alright, my profile is private but I've posted a few times over the years about battling the rattle. Short version is I bought a 2014, it rattled, I fixed it with a dorman actuator and it failed again right away. Then I used a Honda part and it still did it sometimes.

Used oil additive to thicken it up and it seemed to help but still happened occasionally. Did the key trick and that usually seemed to work.

But now,I stopped using oil additive and stopped the key trick and STARTED using valvoline restore and protect oil 5w30 for the past 2 oil changes and it hasn't done it.

It seems this oil may clean out the small oil passages based around a VVT system.

Not sponsored but it sure seems to be doing something. 212k miles.

So, I bought LEDs to replace our halogen bulbs in our 2011 Honda CRV EX and quickly realized it was going to blind people, and that it was a hazard. Should’ve guessed that, but I didn’t know, I’m not a car guru.

That being said, are there headlight assemblies MEANT for a 2011 Honda CRV EX that are built for LED bulbs and will point the lights in the right direction without blinding people?

Our other car has really nice LEDs, but if we can’t have them in this one, then we won’t. It’s just harder to see and was hoping to fix that.

Thank you!

I have a 2025 Honda Crv ST and I been having problem with the battery that mostly resolves quick after a plug in With the jumpstart, I already had the battery replace by the dealership car is still under warranty, I thought it was because the rough winter, I had the car sit for about two week since I was away came back and the car did not start because the battery,

I have a momento dash Cam which is always recording even with the car off do you think that the dashboard cam may be the cause of draining my battery, Or could be something else wrong with the car ?
Anybody, any experience, or something similar had happened to you ?
