I'm glad I got rid of this **** car. I can't stop coming here to read about all the problems related to it, to confirm even more I did a good choice. The only thing I miss a little is the fuel economy but for peace of mind I'm gladly living with it. But I originally purchase this HONDA thinking I was going to have it for very long and it was going to be super reliable and providing excellent gas mileage. But this transmission problem was my number one reason I traded mine in. It was doing it since day one. And with my luck as soon as the warranty would be done the stupid thing would probably crap on me. And seeing that Honda is ignoring most of you regarding this problem when bringing the car in is outrageous.
But it wasn't only this, it was all the other crap I read like the water leaks, the suspension problems, I had a couple issues with the keyless start, mine had some kind of motor oil leak around the filter ( dealer maintained), issues with my driver window almost getting stucked while going up/down after being fixed one time already, the armrest spring snapped after normal use ( condemned it after this I emptied it and no longer used it after reading it was still happening after people had theirs fixed), my tailgate wasn't opening half the time when I had my hand on the sensor. I wasn't trusting this car anymore for long term unfortunately and that's why I got rid of it. Too many issues with a car that isn't that new on the market ( Japan).
This isn't a bash on the hrv. What I liked about it, I truly enjoyed it. Some of you will never experience a major issue with it. But I live in Ontario/Quebec and we have some of the worst conditions a car can experience over here. From 25F to - 22F in the same day is very common with tons of slush, salt, snow. Although the awd always worked flawlessly, I can tell you that the hrv is not a winter car.
