Quick summary
Total: 1,175 cars
The 2001 Honda CR-V has a higher overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 421 defects per 100 vehicles, representing a 14% increase. Notably, the CR-V excels in brake performance, showing significantly fewer defects in this category than the average. However, it struggles in areas such as lights and electrics, wheels, suspensions, and axles, where it shows a higher defect rate than the average. Mileage trends indicate that as the vehicle's mileage increases, the defect rate also rises, particularly in the higher mileage categories. Overall, while the CR-V has strengths in braking, it faces challenges in electrical and suspension-related defects.
