is this inspection report from HONDA Malaysia?
where do you get this bro?

Hi all G5 owners..
Have you faced any problems with the VSA System, Power Steering system and Brake hold system error?
The collected car wasn't even a week old yet and the problem just arises. The warning did went off after restarting the car though.
Current millage is around 500km++
Fyi, the steering wheel is normal and the brake is normal, same as the first day driving the car.
And yes, would like to know how to complaint to Honda Malaysia without going through dealer. Should be faster if deal directly with HQ instead of dealers.

tl;dr - warning lights shown up. restarted it and problems gone.

Problems, problems and more problems. Honda, just recall the car already.

Any solution so far? The occasional metal rattling sound is driving me crazy...

When i booked mine, I clearly asked them about the 140km/h above humming noise. Salesperson unaware, spoke to the sales tech guy and he denied the problem. Showed them the screenshots on FB still deny 10% cars effected. Bollocks not everyone knows the sound exist as NVH quite noticeable into interior.
Cancelled and took the cx5.
Imagine owner that is unsure and goes unnoticed, not everyone is active on FB too. Agree with you, HM needs to recall this car and regain some trust from existing owners

Exactly.. It's only a fraction of the buyers who go and join FB groups, car forums, etc.. Normally, some say ignorance is bliss. That it's "normal" for CKD cars.. I've been told as much. But we aren't taking about a TV or Samsung's Note 7 battery here... A moving car is a mobile instrument of death, not just for the driver, but for the occupants and other vehicles. Come to think of it, why does it have to be normal for CKD and not for CBU? Why aren't the same standards set here too? It's not like our cars are cheaper or that we have lemon laws. Anyways, this is Malaysia..I reckon HM will either quietly figure out the problems and fix as the reports come in or someone (god forbid) eventually gets into a fatal accident as a result of the overlooked manufacturing defect. As we know, then only the authorities will all come out and claim that they have the public's interests at heart.

I've read at least 2 cases where the car suddenly seized up in motion.. alerts everywhere.. I shudder to imagine such a system freeze happening at high speeds on a winding road. For now, guess we have to trust them when they say they are gathering intel of all the issues first. Don't know what else can be done at this time.

Completely comprehend your words, We are handicapped without lemon law's. I wish the current owners would be able to find a way out, cars must serve us and not the other way round. Nothing is perfect and we make our choices.
Just not refined to be honest. No pun intended

My car having 2 issue now, the 130km/h ++ humming sound.. and a clinking sound appear on slight uneven road that create vibration.. sound coming from below steering~ no clue which part ~

No problem here so far after 7 months of owning the car. Don’t listen to the nay sayers especially those that write a lot and who didn’t even own the car.

I mean, just go buy a CX5 already and stop haunting on a CRv thread.

Kek... Actually wondered how long it'd take you to pop up. No one is saying it's a completely bad car and yet even you can't say it's a great car. If you do, prolly your standards are way to low and you are easily pleased. I guarantee you that If a third-party spends just an hour with your car, they would point out problems. It's the same with ALL cars. I understand that you have to justify your purchase somewhat, but just because the current issues don't bug you, doesn't mean that all the problems being reported BY OTHER OWNERS aren't there either.. FYI, the CX-5 gets bashed too.. I bash it too. This is a public forum and people are here to exchange/gather information in order to make the best decision for them. Positives and negatives..Not to only hear about how "great" the car is. If you don't like how forums operate, feel free to go find or create some other private thread/group titled "CRV is the greatest: No bashings allowed." See how long that lasts.

However, as a owner... We hope you'd stick around and contribute. Who knows, yours may very well be the only G5 CRV without a single issue. Make history.

I understand how’s forum works. What I don’t understand is non owners who hang out over 69 forum pages criticizing something they don’t own. I mean, if it were me, I’d have left after 2 pages because I don’t own the thing. Do you hang out in every car model and start crtisizing base on what you read and amplifying them? Maybe you have a lot of time and stamina. I applaud you. Do you also hang out in every phone model threads and do the same? How about houses? Watches?

Nope, if you understood then you'd also understood why non-owners hang out in a thread about an item they do not yet own. Key word here is "yet". It's called carrying out due diligence. You know, a practice that one does so one doesn't end up on the wrong side of the deal. Even top corporations do this. So nope, I only hang out mostly in threads of items I'm interested in or own. As for criticisms and amplification, nah.. current owners are already doing a great job about it. Would you like videos and pictures of the problems or suddenly the words of other owners simply don't matter and only yours does? .. Perhaps, you'd prefer if I claim to own the CRV, just so I can keep discussing on its strengths and weaknesses? .. Hmm, I'm no licensed shrink but your manner & speed to react defensively hints at some insecurities present. Nope, I don't roll like that. I own the weaknesses in all my purchases. That's the beauty of the Internet & public forums. Chances are, the majority will either corroborate or call BS on reviews, especially sponsored ones. It's how we keep in check those who would prefer to be seen as undue praise-singers of an item.

Mine got this problem too. Also, I noticed the black bottom bumper on the front got loose and create big and visible gaps with the bumper body.

Anybody got toichi ishiyama's email address or contact? I want to complain direct to the boss.

I am wondering - instead of resorting to names calling of a random forumer, isn't it much better for your life to buy a CX5, XC90 or whatever met your requirement (I am sure you knew which car met your requirement with your impressive reading and forum research) and be done with it, instead of harping and continue to criticizing on a model which you think have issues which you will not be buying anyway. Life's happier that way

Nah.. I didn't resort to name calling, I merely stated facts. if anything, you started with your rant by calling concerned folks out as nay sayers. Not to worry, I'll make my purchase when I'm good and ready. Much better to have done one's research before purchasing than be stuck with a product plagued by issues it shouldn't have had in the first place. Than burying my head in the sand...

FYI, if consumers like you keep insisting that defects are "normal" or non-existent, how then will companies who are known to always seek the cheapest costs for highest profits,...how then will they actually improve their products to meet market expectations. See Japan..

Edit: As the owner of arguably one of the last best designed Honda Civics and before a mod gets feisty about going off topic. I apologize and appreciate all feedback from current and future owners of the G5 CRV. I had hoped that by openly discussing the good along with the bad, more reports will be made & HM will take even more notice and not only fix the current ones, but also ensure that build quality is significantly improved on all future vehicles. So we all can enjoy the reliability that the Honda brand is known to provide.

I completely second you Bro, a manufacturer like Honda is taking the customer for granted and there are multiple issues that are seen on the cars for few generations. I own and still driving a Honda, the quality is definitely below expectation. I like the design and what the new CRV has to offer as a whole but a test drive already put me off from the idea of putting my $ on it. For those who can read Chinese, go and check out the complaints on the this CRV in China, there are many asking for refund after purchased the car. I hope what we have here is not as bad. I will definitely going for more test drive to prove that what I have experienced is not only on that test drive unit.

Completely second voncrane as well. This is an open forum,everyone is free to comment, and we are here to listen to critics. I'm looking forward to buy a SUV as well, hence i'm here screening through forums to look for comments. Lame words from you stating "No problem here so far after 7 months of owning the car" is not the words i wanted to read. Those are SA words trying to push sales. I don't have time to read through FB, twitters or etc, so should be thankful to voncrane who willing to share them here.

Thanks for the support guys. I don't understand Chinese and can only rely on information in English. Didn't even know about issues in China. I merely assumed that ours was unique and a Malaysian CKD thing. Some light googling led to this...
Honda to recall 350,000 cars in China over engine issue.


This is why as consumers we shouldn't be silent about such matters. They need to realize that reviews can make or break them. Else, it'll get swept under the rug and we get stuck with an expensive defective purchase.

Hi,
I bought a coating package. Is there any autocare/shop help to perform coating process by using self buy coating Agent ?
