My $18k civic and $17k fit had no problems. They weren’t made in MX. it’s the plant.
I think all the transmissions are assembled in japan - the final assembly of the HRV is in mexico.My $18k civic and $17k fit had no problems. They weren’t made in MX. it’s the plant.
My 2019 Celaya HR-V's CVT was made in Indonesia.I think all the transmissions are assembled in japan - the final assembly of the HRV is in mexico.
They also told me it was the sensor at first but when they drained the transmission fluid they found that multiple large metal chunks were contaminated in it and that the transmission itself was going to need replacing. Funny that I only took it in for a maintenance minder 3 weeks prior and they marked "transmission fluid" green! Good luck on your car, definitely have them test it out at highway speed before they return your car because mine would only stall at high speeds (75mph).Wow! I was quoted $700! Something doesn’t seem right!?
This sucks i just did the same in the left lane in my 2017 ex and my transmission died. Now I'm stuck with no car because I have 99,000 miles. I work at Honda and have no car.I was driving on the thruway Saturday in the left lane (lots of traffic) and my engine revved and lost power. It put me in a dangerous situation. Honda first said it was a sensor and now states it’s the transmission with metal shavings that have to be cleaned out. 64k miles, 18 months old! They are sending someone to analyze it and see if it will be warranted. From what I’m reading the HRV has transmission problems and I hope Honda does the right thing. The reason I bought a Honda was because people swear by them and I loved the engineering of the HRV. I have always had a Ford until less than 2 years ago. Never had problems except for 1 time after 12 years I had to replace a starter. What Honda does next will determine if they lose a customer.

Same to me no car. Seems everyone is failing on the highway. With a 2017 or older. Thanks HONDASee my post to the original post. Same thing happened to me, as well. Shame on Honda!!!!
Good point!Glad I got it with a manual I guess! My wife's Buick, jetta, and Fiesta have all had some sort of major transmission issue... Biggest failure I've had in a manual is a clutch at 160k.
I think reading forums to see how reliable a car is can be a bad idea. Most people that have issues go online to vent. People rarely go on a forum to brag about how their economy car is still running fine at 60k miles.
It really does suck when you expect reliability. Sorry to hear this happened.This sucks i just did the same in the left lane in my 2017 ex and my transmission died. Now I'm stuck with no car because I have 99,000 miles. I work at Honda and have no car.
Love to know your dealership takes care of their customers because mine couldn't tell me a damn thingGuys are you replacing your transmission fluid? And being a CVT you should probably even change it sooner.
when I bought my dads HRV from him, 2016 at 40,000 miles, he was overdue for a transmission fluid swap and didn’t think anything of it. Same thing with my 2010 CRV, my mom never swapped the transmission fluid and it needed a swappage
and honestly no excuse. If you take it to Honda, they give you a full readout. With my CRV, they found out my differential fluid and brake fluid, and steering fluid were old. Don’t save the money and go to a cheap shop, take it to the damn dealer to analyze
Yea probably your cvt oil cooler broke and coolant got in it. They don't tell you that because its a bad design and do not want a recall so they blame the ownerThe transmission on my 2016 Honda HRV just broke a belt which destroyed the transmission at 80k miles. I've moved, and I guess that's why I missed the recommendation to get my fluid changed again at 60k miles. Reading online I see that it can lead to transmission problems, but it doesn't seem like it leads to the belt breaking. Does anyone know?
Honda has offered to pay 1/3rd of the replacement but said if I attempt to escalate to corporate they could retract that offer. Has anyone heard of this?
