My wife HRV 2015. When 4th year we also experience the same knocking sound and Honda Malaysia refuse to give warranty and say it is under tear and wear term.. since then my another car supposes to be new Accord then I changed to Toyota Camry.. no more Honda car in my family anymore.

Anyone's HRV 2022 version having knocking sound on front absorbers when going over speed bump? Planning to report it during my 10k service.

Has anyone changed the absorber in your 2016-2018 HRV ?  Do you guys recommend going for stock / ori Honda absorber （which will be soft again) , or going for other OEM ，  or even get it rebuild in places like Reiber ?  Any recommendation ?

Hi folks, a friend of mine is looking to buy a used 2015-2016 unit.

What are the common problems/issues with this car to look out for?

Good article -https://www.wapcar.my/news/used-honda-hrv--from-rm-60k-a-hbadge-suv-for-ativa-money-how-much-for-maintenance-and-repairs-60112

2016 HRV V Spec - my front absorber, squeeking sound when on very rough road or over the bump..drive shaft some sound when turning.....the rest all good..

initially feel slightly jerking at slow speed, 20-40kmh, at that time still under warranty, happen when the car hitting 98k km, SC said no issue. CVT oil still within interval, so SC does not change it. the jerking still shown during slow speed, traffic jem situation. make 3-time SC visit, all said CVT gb still in good/ normal condition. After few months later, warranty already ended, jerking become more apparent, send to outside workshop for CVT oil change. Just slightly reduce the jerkiness until one day the jerking become major and CVT light pop up. Send to workshop, foreman check the belt already burst inside, maybe not full burst since still can drive. Make decision to get them replace the belt, cost about RM4k+. The mileage was at 120k km.

some well-known CVT shop quoted rm6k for the same repair. So, choose the RM4k. After replacing the belt, Jerking-clear as brand new. Maybe will own this car for another year max b4 upgrading her.

Thanks for the info. Mine initially felt a bit jerky during negotiate parking. Got complain but say it's normal.

Mine about 200k mileage already. So far belt tensioner and 1 bearing broke. Hope this car last. Kids getting bigger, need a lot of money. Want to buy Tesla, but scrap the idea.

Belt inside. Mean full internal cvt gb parts.

Just changed my cvt oil but not cvt oil filter. Do I need to change cvt oil again if want to change cvt oil filter?

First time own HRV 2022 and would like to have some suggestions from the sifus or experience owner here.

What is the recommended 12v battery that we can replace if not replacing from Honda and any new tyre apart from Continental UC6?

Totally agree with you on this. It is ridiculous that even the Toyota cars have the option to play videos and connect to new Bluetooth phones when the car is in motion.

I wonder whether are there any workshops that can modify the headset unit that you guys can recommend.

My take however, and seeing how the Civic hybrid is also positioned, even for heavy footers, the HRV hybrid is still a decent choice especially if it's mainly city driving, stop go etc.

The only weakness is past 60-80 kph where everything runs out of breath lol.
Anything below however, there's no denying that instant electric torque.

Over stiff, on that wavy section roads

Put it this way, it's so badly done, my other sports coupe is even more comfortable than a family HRV 😂

Lookie who we have here 

Just came back from showroom and booked the V-spec. Willing to take the last available 2023 unit even though going into 2024 already. Tested the RS first, then the V-spec immediately after. And for me, power is essential. Should be getting the car within the week. Love the RS black roof liner but that can be modded in time 

Guys,

My car started giving back that similar steering rack issue sound again lately. The steering rack and absorber mount was changed 3 years ago when it first happened at 5 years old age. But it came back last 2-3 months. So, this time it looked like the steering rack (including the rack end and ball-joint end) and the motor is still fine. We changed the steering column coupling but the "kruk kruk" sound is still there. The lower arm and it's bushing is also still fine. I'm running out of ideas where this sound is coming. Even the engine mount was replaced too (but this one confirmed damaged). Wanted to fix the car and sell it off the coming few months. Anyone came across something similar?

On uneven roads mostly but steering movement to left and right also produces the sound.

My mechanic friend changed for me. It is an original Honda made in Malaysia. There were other choices (Thailand, China tier 1 & 2, half cut) but we bite the bullet and bought original. HM didn't want to honour the warranty despite it just passed 2 weeks after warranty despite the car was barely used during MCO. The entire steering rack, lower arm, and the rest of supporting parts are very soft on HM cars. My friend changed many steering rack on HM cars. Hoping to fix this so the 2nd hand value is okayish.

Sending to HM to get their opinion tomorrow. Even the new HM cars has similar issue and heard that steering rack claim can be only made once in 5 years.

Honda SC told me it's the steering rack again although I am a bit skeptical.
They didn't even take out a single nut from my car and just hoisted it up and used some sound detector device to come to a conclusion it is the steering rack.
The mechanic looks clueless and was standing there and walking around not knowing what to do.
He was waiting for his colleague to give their opinion on the issue while I was standing behind the glass watching him from start to end. And this cost RM81.
I'm bringing to the car to another mechanic outside for 2nd opinion.

any known issue for the latest hrv model except from the steering rack issue?

assume it need replacement every 10k km or 6 months 

My colleague already with 5th rack within 2 years on current gen City. The steering rack is indeed problematic
