Well, since first reading this thread, I have been doing quite a bit of reading on the Internet about this issue. I have a new 2018 CR-V. I had read Consumer Reports ratings and this was a recommended vehicle. Edmunds gave it positive reviews, so was blindsided when I learned about this issue.
I am not a car person. I want a safe, reliable, comfortable vehicle to drive. My motivation for trading cars this time was to get the new safety features. I especially wanted a backup camera.
After my reading, my takeaway is that if my CR-V has this issue then it will shorten the length of time that I should keep it. This is probably not a vehicle that I can keep for eleven years like I did with my Accord. On the other hand, I should be able to be okay with it while it is under warranty at a minimum....and perhaps the fix that is rolling out will eventually reach my vehicle and actually solve the issue.
