Hi, I am considering Honda CR-V(2012) for my next replacement and I have few questions that I hope you can answer. Firstly, have you heard anything about the dead battery problem? It would occasionally going dead for no reason. Secondly, a very common widespread problem in Honda 4 cylinder engines from what I read. A defective vtc actuator which causes a loud grinding noise at start. Last but not least, are you aware of any potential issues I should be aware? Look forward to your reply. Thanks.

Hi, I have not have many people complaining about this model of Honda,
they are pretty reliable, we have had the odd oil leak issue from the spool valve / VTEC valve. However the gaskets are only around 30 dollars so are not a big issue.
