The 2007 Honda CR-V has an overall defect rate of 368 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the yearly average of 352 per 100, indicating a 4% increase in defects compared to similar models. Notably, the CR-V performs exceptionally well in the brakes category, with a defect rate of 84 per 100, which is significantly better than the average of 143 per 100. However, it struggles with steering defects, showing a rate of 57 per 100, much worse than the average of 19 per 100. Mileage trends also reveal that as the vehicle ages, defect rates increase, particularly in the 93,000 to 124,000 miles range, where it reaches 440 per 100 vehicles. Overall, while the CR-V exhibits some strengths, it also has notable weaknesses in steering and suspension that should be considered.
