2005 Honda CR-V Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE REAR DOOR FALLS OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. THERE IS ONLY ONE HINGE HOLDING THE DOOR ONTO THE BODY. IT IS MOUNTED HALFWAY DOWN THE DOOR AND IS EXTERNAL AND EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE METAL PIN THAT HOLDS THE HINGE TOGETHER HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED INSIDE THE HINGE AND IS COMPLETELY BROKEN HALF WAY DOWN INSIDE THE HINGE, SO THAT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE HINGE PULLS APART AND THE DOOR FALLS OFF THE BODY. THIS REAR DOOR IS THE REAR HATCH OPENING ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT COVERS THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF TO THE FLOOR AND FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE RIGHT SIDE. IT OPENS FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. I CAN'T GET THE RUSTED PIN OUT BECAUSE IT HAS TURNED INTO A SOLID PIECE OF RUSTED METAL INSIDE THE HINGE. THE NEWER VERSIONS OF THE CRV HAVE A HATCH THAT IS DOUBLE-HINGED FROM THE ROOF AND OPENS FROM BOTTOM TO TOP. *TR
