any bro has any idea what's the depreciation value like in a year for this model? SA quoted  me rm6.5 k rebate for RS model.

Good deal, but maybe can wait a couple more weeks and check with them again, in case they're even more desperate to offload before end of Dec rclxub.gif

Two days ago I've experienced the CRV "jam brake" on behalf of me when I believe my braking point is good enough to stop the car in time...

Scare die me... My family was shocked as well...

In my experience it’s usually quite good, but I also tend to brake quite far… driving like boomer since it’s a hybrid

want to ask if any G5 owners having issues with Steering Rack.

i seem to be having sticky steering when making long corners or u turn

turning the steering from right to left, the steering seems to be sticky when making corrections to keep in the lane
*
Yes this is the infamous steering rack issue, or at least the early symptoms. After 1–2 months you can expect the krik2 sound, the sticky feel is the warning sign. Luckily Honda Malaysia has issued a product recall so your next service you can get it fixed, but their replacement parts will only start arriving in December, not sure when most service centers will start having proper new parts.

thanks for your prompt reply. though the steering rack issues was only for Civic.

even CRV affected but searching some of the past posts.

hope more owners can give feedback especially those who manage to change during warranty and whether there is any improvement
*
I’m a previous Civic ketam owner and replaced my steering rack in 2018 once, after that it’s been smooth sailing until earlier this year when I sold the car off for this CR-V RS. IMO every brand has their own issues, and what I’m grateful is Honda Malaysia (and global Honda) owning up to this and at least they’re attempting to help rectify the issue. Just let your SC know during your next service you’re experiencing symptoms and they’ll advise you on next steps.

Personally I’m also feeling the sticky steering on low speeds now, so I’ll bring this up during my next service in February. Hopefully they have the parts then to replace the faulty unit

oh you bought the G6 RS version which is the hybrid.

what is your FC for city and highway

how is the power delivery. you also changed tyres from the stock toyo to Michelin Primacy. how much did it cost and you say ride quality has improved.

do share.

my next service is due very soon.

will tell my SC on the sticky steering feeling
*
I live in Penang island so most driving are city driving, around 20km/L is my best when I travel from one end of island to the other; but if short distances it’s around 15km/L. If driving a bit more aggressively it’s 13km/L.

Overall very smooth power delivery, and if you control your right foot a little or stuck in traffic jam, it’ll operate in EV mode in complete silence. I believe the biggest pro of the RS is the electric torque because I couldn’t believe how a big hunking SUV can accelerate so quickly and smoothly from stop.

Tyres I traded in the crap factory ones on day one. 1k only to switch to Michelin Primacy SUV+, and the road noise insulation and comfort across bumps are day and night. I also feel very confident in the wet driving at high speeds. I swapped on day one because on my Civic I stayed with factory tyres for quite long and regret it every day I drive the car so I figured it’s not worth it.

do u experience any weird sound while driving above 80kmh with rear windows open? something like flapping sound. im trying to resolve that. not on my G6 but on my FC which currently using Michelin P4. my wife car GM6 also facing the same sound using Michelin XM2+. I cant recall whether the same sound appear when using stock Conti CC. now i have fear using michelin tyre..
*
Hmm don't recall ever hearing something like that. If it's really bothering you you should bring it up with SC next time you go just to have them check out any loose paneling or something in the headliner that may be causing the noise.

did that. sc unable to determine the cause. we even test with other FC. the same sound appeared when driving with rear windows open. but that was using facelifted version. these model using michelin ps4. so the justification as a normal sound is not acceptable..hehehe

Oh weird. Mine was pre-facelift and I never heard that sound before, but mine was on stock Conti tyres from factory still and I rarely roll down rear windows while car is moving rclxs0.gif

FWIW: My current G6 CR-V RS on Michelin Primacy SUV+ is so silent and grippy on wet conditions, no complaints so far.

Anyone getting notification on rack recall yet,?

Not yet. Even in HondaTouch under PUD section it says I don't have any vehicle under recall. I'm guessing they're waiting until they have the parts before they send out the notifications, otherwise everyone zerg rush the SCs to get inspection and replacement done when they don't even have the parts rclxub.gif

Seems like there won't be any steering rack replacement. It's just a steering assembly kit, "STRG WORMAINTENANCE", some part replacements. Different to my civic last time which had a replacement.
*
That makes sense.. Honda global has pointed out that the worm wheel is the culprit, see https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a62570036...ng-rack-recall/

QUOTE
The worm wheel, which controls steering in the car, may have been produced incorrectly and consequently swell while the vehicle is in use. According to NHTSA, the swelling wheel thins the film of grease between the worm wheel and worm gear, causing friction and increasing steering effort. NHTSA also states that the preload of the worm gear spring was set too high, which results in higher friction and fluctuating torque when steering. The recall documents describe warning signs as an abnormal noise or "sticky" feeling when turning the wheel.

I just collected my crv rs last saturday. Just curious about the battery level. Why is it never fully charged? Always around half bar or below that.
*
It's normal. Imagine if it's always fully charged, that means your engine needs to be running all the time to keep it charged, which burns fuel unnecessarily. It's a very small battery (around 1.0kWh unlike EVs with 50++ kWh up to 100kWh batteries). The goal of the hybrid battery is to recuperate energy as you cruise or go downhill, or brake, etc., so that you can use up the battery when you idle at traffic light, or it can provide extra torque boost as you get up to speed from a state of rest.

As long as your fuel economy is about 13–20km/L you're driving the hybrid right. My old Civic FC averaged 8km/L in the city lol but in the CR-V RS I can do 20km/L if I'm careful and use the paddles to regenerate the battery, and the CR-V is so much bigger and heavier too if you think about it. For it to achieve a smooth acceleration without needing engine to spool up is such an experience.

My CRV in town is about 8km/L. So may be you are more heavy footed or the 1.5L Turbo is now more efficient.

The bose sounds system is a let down! full tank city drive of 93km yesterday and it shows can go further 681km. good or bad? saw like 13.1 FC.
*
13.1 is ok if you tekan like normal petrol car. For hybrid to get high efficiency you can try to use regenerative braking as much as possible. When coming to a stop, use the left (downshift) paddle three times and the car will slow down without you applying the brakes, as it’s converting your rolling kinetic energy into electrical energy stored in the battery.

If you really want to min-max, really use low pressure on the pedal to stay in electric mode for as much as possible but you’ll go very slow. Don’t use eco mode as it actually is less efficient overall according to Reddit, since it’s too slow it makes you consume more fuel ultimately. Just stay in normal mode.

thanks for the insight. ya...i was actually on eco mode coz i haven't gone through all the settings yet. my average speed in city drive was around 50km/h.
*
My advice if you trying to get reasonable efficiency without resorting to driving like an old person is to keep an eye out on the left gauge. When you brake you’ll see it will first engage regen braking to recuperate electricity, but once you press the brake pedal past a certain point you’ll kinda feel the actual mechanical brakes engage. The idea is to get familiar with this threshold so you try to regen as much as possible. When going downhill I always use paddles or switch to B mode with max regen (use paddles), and I’ll have close to full battery to cruise with once I reach the foot of the hill.

One way to check if your car is doing the charging at max is using this..

user posted image

The screenshot is from Honda City but CRV has the same thing....I think.

While the power mode in the odomoter can show whether your engine is charging battery, engine direct powering the wheel, motor powering the wheel, etc. It does not show you how much it is charging at that time, it can be charging but at minimal charging only..

The screen shot with red circle is the one showing how efficient is your charging. When you are cruising or if you lift your foot off the pedal, it will likely go max at 50.

Sometimes when you tekan lightly when cruising it will go max 50 charging yet sometimes with the same pressure on the pedal, it goes down to min or below 25. That low charging is likely due to engine or kinetic charging needs more power to wheel thus little left for charging. Yet at times, they have more power than the wheel need, thus more goes to charging.

This indicator will goes up and down depending on your foot. I find it very useful coz whenever I see the slides goes low below 25, I lifted my foot more to let it recover back to charging at 50. Although at times, it is unavoidable, we have to either tekan or even if tekan lighty it still won't go up coz the wheel are consuming more energy to accelerate or power the car..

Trying to maintain that slide indicator at max 50 whenever possible is the key to max out charging and fuel efficiency.
*
Yeah we have the same thing, but generally I use the gauge when it dips into charging to know how efficient I'm braking biggrin.gif when going I just go by feel otherwise it's too distracting and restrictive IMO.

My best mileage when driving carefully...

Michelin Primacy SUV+. I traded in factory tyres day 1 coz they're utter sh*t. I only topped up RM1k total to upgrade all four tyres to Primacy SUV+ icon_idea.gif super silent and comfy ride, can't recommend it more.
