Are you having problems with your 2019 Honda CR-V? Let our team of motoring experts keep you up to date with all of the latest 2019 Honda CR-V issues & faults. We have gathered all of the most frequently asked questions and problems relating to the 2019 Honda CR-V in one spot to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
Plastic interior components in Japanese and European cars were once very susceptible to early failures in terms of cracking, peeling, discolouring and warping. The problem was that the manufacturers from these markets had an utter lack of understanding of Australian levels of UV radiation and heat cycles and, as a result, their plastic interiors soon disintegrated. Things soon changed for the better, however, and modern cars have very resilient interior fittings.
However, that makes it even stranger that your car should be exhibiting this problem. I’s not something that we’ve seen across a wide cross-section of CR-V vehicles, so maybe it’s a one-off manufacturing fault. Perhaps the plastic trim piece you refer to was damaged when it was fitted at the factory and has gradually become worse with age. Either way, it should be a simple warranty repair for your local dealership. Replacing the trim piece with a new one is the answer as the damaged part probably can’t be repaired economically.
I can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t be suitable for someone in the 60s. It’s a reputable brand, with good reliability, strong resale. Others to thin about are the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX5, Subaru Forester.
