Never really pay attention to the steering behavior, until you posted on yours few week back, never thought its going to happen this early

Only notice it when Im at basement parking when I need to make a lot of round and round to find a parking spot

Does anyone know what will happen if we still drive the car for another few months without rectifying it..

1. Leak.?? Where.. ? Under carriage is normal all car got that,, hissing sound at aircon,, that is also leak, but not gas leak,, vapourizing at aircon vent, that is when your out temp is lower than inside
2. Not on EV im on V
3. I do hear soft click when pressing brake, i believe that is normal

or connect it to AA / CP

by putting your phone in the middle cup holder will make your phone cold,, or even at the wireless charging area, also will make your phone cold

if you dont use the car wireless charger, make sure to off it

You have to remove it manually, since its using double sided tape
most of CRV came with honda malaysia number plate frame

you dont have to break it
peel it slowly

my RFID is at top left windscreen

You really hate that RFID sticker ya, until you really want to hide it

Good
at least HM acknowledge the issue

But after ready at civic forum, many said if no issues dont replace,

yeah, I done my inspection last week, because of my insecurity

they said nothing wrong with my rack, because no obvious vibration,

Interestingly, there was a Civic in the SC at the same time with a warranty claim related to its steering. They showed me how the steering behaved when faulty and even shared some videos of other Civics with similar warranty claims. Apparently, to get warranty approval, they require video evidence of the problem.

They said as at now only 1 CRV RS claim warranty at their branch

My SC is OKR

hopefully this hypothesis is true

Hopefully based on this round (2nd for civic) recall they have improve mechanical design on the rack
If not it will be same issue like civic, replace faulty part with the same part then replace again when its faulty

Whats the point of a recall if you going to get same design and wait to fail

You still drive your G6?

Yeah same thought

But usually do my service on saturday or sunday, hopefully the recall can do weekend also

its like Myvi / Perodua horn,, but lounder

in the US,, first mode most G6 owner do is change to different horn

What kind of noise?
Road noise?
Wind noise?
Own engine noise?
Other vehicle noise?

Noise from outside normal la, this is sub 200k car,

What car do you drive before this
And what do you expect of noise level from this SUV

What I contribute is
Overall G6 noise level is better than G5
But if your previous car is Santa Fe, Suba XV, X70 or CX5,, then G6 are worse than those,,

When its raining, its even worse,

I have Ativa as my main ride, at low speed town driving, Ativa is better on road noise (i think its because of Ativa using bridgestone) but G6 better on wind noise, G6 road noise is the worse coming from the tire

I tried install visor for all windows hoping to ilimiate the wind noise, but not that significant, at the end remove it, dont really like the design pun.

For engine noise, G6 is better than X70 or sometimes CX5

If you cannot tahan the noise, go see desmond KL Auto, i sound proof all my door on day 1,, not to eliminate / reduce the noise but for my audio

Good deal on the rebate,, but since almost Dec, might as well wait another month for Year End Deal, and I believe there will be CNY promo as well,

For depreciation value
I think among Honda model, CRV hold its value better than other model,, but not so sure if steering rack news will affect much on value or not

yep our road noise is worse,, really malu sometimes when I ride with my friend

outside noise from other vehicle and engine noise for me is awesome

if you look closely at A pillar, and between door gap there is some evidence of sound proofing done by HM, If i have budget, i will install some at inner fender

Happenned to me once,, after checking found out some small chewing gum stuck in the tire threat
