2010 Honda CR-V complaints

THE 2010 HONDA CR-V WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY, FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING/SHAKY. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (LESS THAN 70,000 MILES). IT WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL, EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINING SERVICE SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL, 2010. THE HONDA DEALER SERVICED THE CAR. I WENT BACK SHORTLY AFTER SERVICE BECAUSE WE CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW AGAIN. THEY STARTED 'OIL CONSUMPTION' TESTS. IT WAS DOWN A BIT EVERY 1,000 MILES BUT THEY KEPT SAYING IT WAS IN THE 'NORMAL' RANGE AND THAT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO NEED TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (I HAVE OWNED CARS FOR 30+ YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT EVER NEED ADDITIONAL OIL BETWEEN CHANGES). I KEPT TAKING IT IN FOR CONSUMPTION ISSUES. THEY WOULD CHECK THE OIL, TOP IT OFF, AND TELL ME IT WAS 'NORMAL'. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THE SERVICE MANAGER PRESENTED IT TO THE REGIONAL HONDA SERVICE, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS 'NORMAL' TOO. I STARTED TOPPING OFF THE OIL MYSELF AS THE DEALERSHIP IS A BIT OF A DRIVE AND I WASN'T GETTING ANYWHERE WITH THE COMPLAINTS. AT 86,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO AN ACURA DEALERSHIP. THEY SERVICED THE CAR AND RESET IT. LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER. IT NEEDS A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER @$1,100. BOUGHT HONDA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY AT DEALER WITH CAR, BUT IT DOESN'T COVER THE PART. HONDA IS TELLING ME THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE HONDA CARE WARRANTY IS NOT A HONDA WARRANTY, BUT 3RD PARTY AND THEY DON'T CONTROL IT. I'M OUT

LOUD RATTLING NOISE AT COLD START UP. *JS

2010 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN MAY 2012, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 3RD GEAR, WHILE TRAVELING AT 65-70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. IT HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN. ON EACH OCCASION, HE MOVED TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK, STARTED THE ENGINE, RE-SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND PROCEEDED. *JB

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. IN APRIL 2013, I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. TO AVOID HITTING A SLOWING CAR, I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND TURNED THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO MOVE COMPLETELY BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE CAR ACCELERATED EXPONENTIALLY, AS IF OVERDRIVE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF OR CRUISE CONTROL HAD KICKED IN (CRUISE WAS NOT ON). THE CAR SPED UNCONTROLLABLY FIRST TOWARD THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND THEN TO THE LEFT WHILE I TURNED THE WHEEL TO STAY ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. THE SECOND EVENT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO A FRONT END PARKING SPACE AT AN OFFICE BUILDING. SPEED WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REGISTER ON THE ODOMETER. TAPPING THE BRAKE CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY, HEADING TOWARD A BRICK WALL ABOUT 8 FEET AWAY. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR AND AVOID THE WALL, BUT TOOK OUT ALL THE FRONT PLANTINGS, A LIGHT POLE AND A SMALL TREE, DOING ALMOST $3,000 DAMAGE TO MY CAR PLUS MORE FOR THE BUILDING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE. THEIR RESPONSE: WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BRING IT BACK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. FOR A WHILE I HAVE ACCEPTED THIS DIAGNOSIS, BUT ANOTHER OCCURRENCE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PROPERTY, TO ME OR TO OTHERS. I HAVE READ OF OTHER INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM PURSUING THIS MATTER WITH HONDA. THIS MUST BE FIXED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY, PREVENTING HIM FROM OPENING THE DOORS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN ONE OCCASION HE WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION: I WAS PARKING AT MY WORKS PARKING LOT, THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, CROSSED THE PARKING LOT AND HIT THE BUILDING FULL FORCE, AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED MILD INJURIES THANKS TO THE SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG PROTECTION. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND IS BEING ASSESSED BY THE INSURER. *TR

DURING A ROUTINE STATE INSPECTION, THE SHOP MECHANIC SAID POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING AND HE BELIEVED IT TO BE THE RACK AND PINION. OVER THE NEXT WEEK, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME ABNORMALLY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER .THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC WHERE THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE RACK AND PINION, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,580. *TR

THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. TO MY CALCULATIONS (AND THROUGH AN ABBREVIATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THROUGH DEALER), THE VEHICLE IS BURNING 1/2 A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES (NO LEAKS). BEFORE NOTICING BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THE CAR WOULD GO ALMOST DRY BETWEEN CHANGES. THE OIL LIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND THEN GO OFF, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS LESS THAN A QUART OF OIL IN THE CAR. THE DEALER CLAIMS HAVING TO ADD 1/2 QUART TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS CONSIDERED NORMAL CONSUMPTION. HONDA OF AMERICA CLAIMS THE SAME. HONDA OF AMERICA HAD NO ANSWER FOR ME AS TO WHY THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT REMAIN ON WHEN CAR WAS RUNNING VERY LOW ON OIL. HONDA OF AMERICA ALSO HAS NO ANSWER AS TO WHY IF THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL CONSUMPTION THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL TO WARN THE CONSUMER THAT THEY MAY WANT TO CHECK THEIR OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THEY WILL TAKE NO OWNERSHIP OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SITUATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THE HEADLIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF. WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY HOLD ON HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. THE NEXT MORNING ALL LIGHTS WERE WORKING FINE. CALLED THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

THE POWER LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE LOCKS WOULD CYCLE LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AFTER I HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IT WOULD HAPPEN RANDOMLY BUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO OPEN USING THE BUTTON ON THE KEY, I HAVE TO USE THE KEY IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND, ONCE INSIDE THE CAR, REACH OVER TO THE DOOR THAT I WANT TO OPEN TO MANUALLY OPEN IT WITH MY HAND. THE TRUNK WILL OPEN IF I CYCLE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ELECTRIC LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE DOORS WILL CYCLE LOCKED/UNLOCKED UNTIL I MOVE THE MANUAL INDICATOR SEVERAL TIMES. I AM SEEING A PROBLEM WHERE ALL OF THE DOORS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER HAVE BEEN IN THE OPPOSITE POSITION THAN THE OTHER THREE DOORS, SO IT IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE DOORS. I'M SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN A LAWSUIT ONLINE. I SPOKE TO HONDA TODAY AT 800-999-1009 AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (IT'S 4 YEARS OLD WITH ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT). IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM FOR MANY MODELS OF HONDA VEHICLES. *TR

THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSISTANCE LIGHT WONT COME ON. *TR

THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE PASSENGER DOOR AND HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE PASSENGER DOOR CAN BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY, HOWEVER, THE HATCH DOES NOT HAVE A WAY TO UNLOCK IT FROM THE INSIDE WHICH POSES A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THE DOORS SHOULD REMAIN LOCKED WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, HOWEVER, THEY UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHICH HAS ALLOWED MY 6 YEAR OLD TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *TR

THE REAR, DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON MY 2010 HONDA CRV IN THE LATER PART OF 2012 OR EARLY PART OF 2013. THERE IS A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN I LOCK OR UN-LOCK THE DOOR. THE LOCK ITSELF FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY, OFTEN FAILING COMPLETELY TO LOCK AND/OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY-FOB BUT SO FAR IT UNLOCKS/LOCKS WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. WHEN THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR DOESN'T UNLOCK, I CANNOT OPEN THE GATE. I HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE REAR DOOR AND THEN I CAN ACCESS THE GATE, WHICH IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT DANGEROUS. DURING A PREVIOUS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CR-V, A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS AN ACTUATOR(S) FAILING; HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME [ON THIS WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE], THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THE FAULTY PARTS WOULD FALL SOLELY ON ME. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN LAID OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO HAVE FAITHFUL HONDA OWNERS (3 OF OUR 4 VEHICLES ARE HONDAS) BEAR THE BURDEN OF WHAT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT. *TR

PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WEARING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE HEARD FROM THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE. THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE ROTORS. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR A MECHANIC. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER-SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK IN MY 2010 HONDA CR-V EX-L PERIODICALLY STOPS RESPONDING TO BOTH THE INTERIOR LOCK BUTTON AND THE REMOTE KEY FOB BUTTON. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE DRIVER UNINTENTIONALLY OPENS THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BY PULLING THE LEVER FROM THE INSIDE, WHILE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE DOOR HAS BEEN LOCKED. NOTE THAT IN HONDA MODELS, PULLING THE INTERIOR RELEASE LEVER WHILE THE DOOR IS LOCKED SHOULD PREVENT THE DOOR FROM BEING OPENED ALTOGETHER. THIS PROBLEM COULD MISLEAD THE DRIVER INTO THINKING THAT ALL DOORS HAVE BEEN LOCKED WHILE, IN FACT, THEY HAVE NOT; THIS ALSO CREATES A SECURITY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE AS WELL. ANOTHER RELATED PROBLEM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DRIVER TO UNINTENTIONALLY LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH AN UNLOCKED DOOR, EVEN AFTER PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE KEY FOB, WHICH INCREASES THE PROBABILITY OF THEFT AND BREAK-INS. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS MANY USER COMPLAINTS ABOUT POWER DOOR LOCK PROBLEMS IN THIS GENERATION OF CR-V, SHOWING A CLEAR PATTERN OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007 - 2011 CR-V. HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY BY ISSUING A RECALL AND WARRANTY EXTENSION. *TR

THE REAR, PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON MY 2010 HONDA CRV IN THE LATER PART OF 2012 OR EARLY PART OF 2013. IT ORIGINALLY STARTED AS A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN I WOULD LOCK OR UN-LOCK THE DOOR AND ESCALATED TO A LOUD GRINDING/CLUNKING NOISE. THE LOCK ITSELF FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY, OFTEN STRUGGLING OR FAILING COMPLETELY TO LOCK AND/OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY-FOB OR WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS SEEMED TO SPREAD TO THE REAR, DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LOCK, WHICH NOW HAS ALSO BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF FAILURE. A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY RESULTING FROM THE ACTUATOR(S) FAILING; HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME [ON THIS WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE], THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THE FAULTY PARTS WOULD FALL SOLELY ON ME. *TR

REAR GLASS SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY ON THE PARKING LOT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. NO PASSING CARS (OR STONES) AROUND. NO DAMAGE TO REAR GLASS PRIOR TO ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED GASOLINE. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE PIPE ASSEMBLY JOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE WINDSHIELD IS BADLY DISTORTED. IT LOOKS LIKE BUBBLES INSIDE OF THE GLASS MAKING VISIBILITY EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I CAN NOT SEE OUT OF WINDSHIELD AND AM CONCERNED THAT BEING UNABLE TO SEE I WILL END UP IN A CRASH. HONDA DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE WINDSHIELD STATING IT IS AN INSURANCE ISSUE. IT IS NOT AN INSURANCE ISSUE; IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

**UPDATE TO COMPLAINT MADE ON 6-17-13*** I INFORMED AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM, HE SAID NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. I INFORMED HIM I WOULD NOT TRUST MY LOVED ONES TO THIS CAR, I ASKED IF HE WOULD LET HIS WIFE AND FAMILY USE THIS CAR, HE SAID 'MAYBE'. (ON WHAT CRITERIA WOULD HE DECIDE THAT I WONDERED). LONG STORY SHORT, HONDA NO HELP, THE DEALER, ON THE OTHER HAND, GILLMAN HONDA OF SAN ANTONIO WAS MOST HELPFUL AND STEPPED UP BY PROVIDING A VERY REASONABLE DISCOUNT ON A 2013 CRV AND GAVE US THE RED CARPET TREATMENT. WE TRADED IN LITTLE GREENY, SORRY TO SEE HIM GO BUT HAD TO DO IT. *TR

JUNE 11-13 I HAD OIL CHANGED AT MY DEALER GILMAN HONDA SAN ANTONIO AND HAD CAR CHECKED OUT FOR PROBLEMS BECAUSE I AM ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY SAID ALL CLEAR, ALSO HAD NEW KEY MADE AND THEY RESET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE THE NEW KEYS. JUNE 15 2013 I WAS BACKING UP IN THE DRIVE WAY, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND CAR STARTED TO REV UP SEVERELY, I PUT IT IN PARK, CONFIRMED THAT MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS, FLOOR MAT NOT STUCK IN THE PEDAL ETC. I TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTING AND IT RAN FINE. NEXT DAY SAME THING, IN REVERSE, PRESSED BRAKES AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION, I WILL TAKE TO DEALER THIS WEEK TO REPORT ISSUE, NOT HOPEFUL AS THERE ARE 15 OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND NO DEALER HAS YRT FOUND THE SOLUTION. *TR

ON THE MORNING OF MAY 17, 2013, MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND I WERE FLYING OUT OF TOWN. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND OUR DAUGHTER IN THE REAR SEAT. WE HAD A NORMAL DRIVE UP TO THE AIRPORT. WE PARKED AT EXPRESS SOUTH PARKING INSIDE THE DFW AIRPORT TO CATCH THE SHUTTLE TO OUR TERMINAL. WHILE MY WIFE AND I CAME OUT OF OUR CAR AND PUT OUR LUGGAGE IN THE SHUTTLE, MY DAUGHTER DID NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN WE CHECKED ON HER, WE FOUND THAT SHE WAS STUCK IN HER SEAT AND COULD NOT GET OUT. IT WAS A BIG SURPRISE FOR US TO FIND SOMEONE STUCK IN THE CAR SEAT WHO COULD NOT GET OUT. ALTHOUGH SHE HAD REMOVED THE BELT FROM THE BUCKLE, SHE WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE LAP BELT THAT WAS ON HER LAP AND THE SHOULDER STRAP THAT HAD GONE ON HER BACK SIDE. SHE IS OF SHORT HEIGHT (51). WE FOUND THAT THE BELT WAS LOCKED AND IT HAD BECOME A NOOSE AROUND HER WAIST. WE TRIED VERY HARD TO PULL THE BELT TO FREE HER BUT IT WAS VERY TIGHTLY LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE PULLED. THIS CREATED A SITUATION WHERE THE BELT BECAME A NOOSE. IT BECAME A PANIC SITUATION FOR US SEEING OUR CHILD STUCK IN THE CAR AND UNABLE TO MOVE. LUCKILY, AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF TRYING, MY WIFE REALIZED THAT WE HAD A PAIR OF SCISSORS IN OUR LUGGAGE. WE CUT THE BELT TO FREE HER. ALTHOUGH WE WERE LUCKY THAT MY DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURY, THIS PROBLEM WITH BELTS CAN LEAD TO A POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. FOR EXAMPLE, IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE, THE PASSENGER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THIS WILL HAVE SERIOUS AND DEADL

PULL INTO MY GARAGE, APPLIED BRAKE, BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ACCELERATE AT THE SAME TIME. HIT MY GARAGE WALL CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WALL AND CAR. TURN OF CAR. DROVE THE CAR NEXT DAY, EVERY THING WAS OK. CHECK OUT THE BRAKES ON MY LONG DRIVE WAY, EVERY THING SEEM OK. WHEN OVER TO A FRIENDS HOUSE, MONDAY, AGAIN SAME THING HAPPEN, WENT THRU A GASOLINE STATION, AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROLS ACCELERATED, WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP IT, WHEN THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL. WHEN WE WERE LEAVING OUR FRIENDS HOUSE, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD TO JUMP START, EVERY THING WAS OK DRIVING HOME. TRYING TO SET UP A APPOINTMENT AT THE HONDA DEALER TODAY. *TR

2010 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH WARRANTY EXTENSION AND REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE NOTICED AN INCREASING NOISE COMING FROM THE AC COMPRESSOR. EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED BY HONDA, POTENTIAL AC PROBLEMS WERE NEVER CHECKED OR BROUGHT TO HER ATTENTION. UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NOTED FAILURES HONDA'S HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE AC SYSTEM FOR A PERIOD OF NEARLY 10 YEARS.

VEHICLE STARTER MAKES A NOISE LIKE THE STARTER IS STAYING ENGAGED AFTER ENGINE HAS STARTED. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AS IT HAPPENS IN WINTER AND SUMMER. STARTER GOT WORSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND FOR THE DEALER TO DO SOMETHING. VEHICLE HAS SURPASSED 36000 MILE WARRANTY SO HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STARTER. WENT TO PERSONAL MECHANIC TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED. *TR ## VIN PASSED ## HONDA CRV 2010 ##

I WENT TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT NEW TIRES. *TR

TAIL LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE DIM EVERYTIME THE FAN KICKS ON. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TWICE AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THEM TO DIM WHEN THE FAN KICKS ON. THE FIRST TIME HOWEVER THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEY REPLACED IT, HOWEVER NO IMPROVEMENT HAVE BEEN SEEN AND THEY STILL DIM WHICH CAN GET DANGEROUS AT NIGHT TIME DRIVING. *TR

IN WAS EXITING OFF OF I 12 ON MILLERVILLE, IN BATON ROUGE, LA., I STOPPED, TURN LEFT TO CHECK FOR TRAFFIC AND WHEN I TURN BACK AROUND I WAS CRASHING WITH THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THE POLICE CAME HE ASK WAS I HURT I TOLD HIM MY CHEST WAS HURTING BECAUSE I HIT MY STEERING WHEEL. HE ASK IF I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT, I TOLD HIM YES. WHEN THE TO TRUCK DRIVER OPEN MY CAR DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO GET IN BECAUSE HE WAS PREPARING MY CAR TO BE TOWED, THAT'S WHEN I SAW THAT MY SEAT BELT HAD BROKEN. THE SIDE PANEL INSIDE THE CAR THAT HOLD THE SEAT BELT HAD CAME OPEN, THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT BACK IN THE PANEL,IT WAS JUST SITTING ON THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. I THEN CALL THE POLICE OFFICER TO SHOW HIM SINCE HE HAD QUESTION ME ABOUT WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THE SEAT BELT WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIR BECAUSE IT BROKE DURING THE ACCIDENT. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE SIDE PANEL AND THE SEAT BELT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN A CAR BEFORE( IN OTHER CAR ACCIDENTS) WHERE THE SEAT BELT COMPARTMENT COMES A LOOSE. *TR

INCREDIBLY FAST WEAR ON ONE LEFT REAR BRAKE PADS AND GRINDING SOUND AT ALL SPEEDS. VISUALLY CHECKED ALL THE BRAKES - THE PADS ON ALL 3 ARE NORMAL WITH LITTLE WEAR, BUT THE LEFT REAR IS TOTALLY WORN. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. ALSO THE ROTORS ARE WORN UNEVEN WITH "PITTED" SURFACE. THIS IS NOT THE DUE TO A USAGE, BUT DUE TO SOME MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS SEVERE - I CAN NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNTIL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

MY 2010 CRV SOMETIMES DOESN'T START THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN STARTING THE CAR THERE WILL BE A "CLICK SOUND" BUT NOT THE SOUND OF THE STARTER.....TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND TRY AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTS NORMALLY. ALWAYS STARTS NORMALLY ON THE SECOND TRY. WHAT I HEARD WAS A CLEAR BUZZING SOUND COMING RIGHT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, NEAR THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE START POSITION. NO SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE AT ALL. THE SOUND WAS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL BUZZ. AFTER TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF THREE TIMES, THEN THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY WITH NO BUZZING COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. IN SEARCHING THE WEB, THERE ARE OTHER CRVS THAT REPORT THE SAME THING--ABNORMAL SOUND AT FIRST START AND THEN PERFECTLY NORMAL STARTS ON THE SECOND TRY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I TOOK MY CRV TO HONDA DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FIRST TIME, BATTERY WAS REPLACES. SECOND TIME, RELAY WAS REPLACED. NO PROBLEM FIXED. *JS

DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW UP DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BRIDGESTONE, DEALERSHIP, AND HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED IN THAT ORDER BUT NO REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED BY ANY OF THESE PARTIES. *JS

TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY HESITATES TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN MORE POWER IS REQUIRED, EVEN IF I PRESS ACCELERATOR ALL OF WAY TO THE FLOOR. MANY TIME IT PLACES ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY WHILE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY.

2010 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER STATES TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, SHE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THROTTLE LAG, OR ACCELERATION DELAY WHILE MERGING ON TO THE EXPRESSWAY. *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO ELECTRICAL IMPULSES RESULTING FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

DRIVING FIRST IN THE MORNING ON HIGHWAY (DOWNHILL), DTHE DRIVELINE VIBRATES AT 60 MPH AND ABOVE. IT FELT LIKE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH UP THE TRANSMISSION SPEED. AND FITHE GEAR IS ENGAGED AT 40-50 MPH, AND DOES NOT DOWNSHIFTED TO 4TH OR LOWER GEAR. IT UNDERPOWERS THE CAR.

I BOUGHT CRV EX 2W IN APRIL, 2010. I NOTICED A DRIVELINE VIBRATION EITHER FROM TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE WHEN I DRIVE ON DOWNHILL HIGHWAY AND UNDERPOWERED IN 40-50 MPH. IT SEEMED THAT 5TH GEAR REFUSED TO DOWNSHIFTED. I REPORTED IT IN FEW DAYS, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM; I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TWICE. ONE TIME THE DEALER MECHANIC NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT, BUT LATER THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. I SAW SERVICE BULLETIN TO UPGRADE ENGINE SOFTWARE, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN MARCH 2011. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW OF THE BULLETIN. I SHOWED THE COPY OF THE BULLETIN ISSUED ON NOV 2010. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED IT, AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. IT IMPROVED A LITTLE BIT OF THE UNDERPOWER PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT FIX THE DRIVE LINE VIBRATION IN DRIVING ON DOWNHILL HIGHWAY. A FEW TIMES, I WAS AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE WOULD FALL APART FROM THE CAR. THE WORST TIME OF IT IS WHEN I DRIVE IT FIRST IN THE MORNING THOUGH I WARM UP THE ENGINE ENOUGH. *TR
