2011 Honda CR-V complaints

WITH 23,700 MILES, HONDA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT TIRES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO "EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR". HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY 2011 CRV OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT ALTHOUGH HONDA ISSUED A TSB ON THE TIRE MATTER, THEY HAVE PROVIDED NO CAUSE, RECALL OR MONETARY INCENTIVE. IS IT SUSPENSION, ALIGNMENT, WHAT? FURTHERMORE HAVE BEEN ILL ALL WINTER AND CAR HAS HARDLY MOVED FROM THE GARAGE, IT WORRIES ME THAT SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THIS TIRE PROBLEM, AND HONDA HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE FOR RESOLUTION OR ASSISTANCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON MAJOR HIGHWAY TRAVELING APPROX. 60-65 MPH PASSED A CAR AND THEN TOUCHED THE BRAKES.. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED TO OVER 100 MPH WITH THE R PM'S RED-LINED. I HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET TO TRY TO SLOW IT DOWN AND EVEN WHEN IT DID IT WAS STILL REVVING OFF THE CHARTS. HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND MOST LIKELY WAS "OPERATOR ERROR". I'M TOO SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON UN-CROWDED HIGHWAY SUNROOF LOUDLY EXPLODED AND RAINED GLASS INTO AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. HIGHWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 40 DEGREES. PASSENGERS UNINJURED BUT VERY SCARED. GLASS WAS BLOWN OUT FROM INSIDE TO OUT. NO INDICATION OF AN IMPACT WAS PRESENT. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE PRESENT TO CAUSE IMPACT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY EXPLAINED IT MUST HAVE BEEN A "TINY ROCK" THAT CAUSED THE IMPACT SO THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART EXCEPT AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH REFUSAL DIRECTLY FROM AMERICAN HONDA AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO REMEDY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE MANUALLY OR BY USING THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB.

CAR WAS AT A FULL STOP WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE TO PROCEED AND WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING DAMAGE. I CONTACTED HONDA IN CALIFORNIA AND WAS ADVISED THEY HAD COMPLAINTS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL ON THE SITUATION. I DO CHECK TO SEE IF ANY RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. CAR FACTS HAS MANY OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON FILE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED YET. *TR

REVIEWING COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SOURCES THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH HONDA CRVS SINCE 2003. *TR

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A PRODUCT DEFECT IN OUR 2011 HONDA CR-V EX THAT HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES TO DATE. ONE OCCURRENCE WAS JULY 13. 2012 WITH MY HUSBAND AND I EXPERIENCED THE SECOND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON MAY 23, 2013. SUMMARY OF THE OCCURRENCES TO DATE, ALMOST IDENTICAL IN BOTH CASES: WHILE GOING TO PARK THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATES DRAMATICALLY WHILE WE WERE BRAKING. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THEY HIT SOMETHING, I.E. OUR GARAGE DOOR AND A CONCRETE WALL IN A PARKING LOT. ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, WE CONTACTED BOTH HONDA AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANIES. AFTER THEIR INSPECTION, THE CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD FIND WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS LEASED AND THEIR TRADE PROPOSITION WAS COST PROHIBITIVE. WE DROVE IT AND THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW THE CAR IS PARKED AND WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. IF WE TAKE IT TO HONDA, WE ARE FEARFUL THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MAKE ANOTHER TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT TO THE CAR AND WE WILL AGAIN BE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OURSELVES AND/OR OTHERS. WE ASKED FOR LEGAL ADVICE ONLY TO BE TOLD IF THERE IS NO INJURY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING! PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS ANY ACTION WE CAN TAKE IN REGARD TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT PLACED SHIFTED THE GEAR IN REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE WALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE A BODY SHOP. A POLICE WAS AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,800. UPDATED 8/5/13 *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 7 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE TIRE WAS REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. *TR

DOOR LOCKS:LOCKING MECHANISM UNRELIABLE LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING FAILURE TO LOCK (HAVE REVIEWED MANUAL TO ENSURE ALL IN ORDER, INCLUDING BATTERY IN KEY AND SETTINGS FOR AUTO LOCK AND UN LOCK). *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A NOISE LIKE AIR RUSHING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER. THE TIRE BLEW OUT IN TWO PLACES ON THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE. ROAD WAS CLEAR, DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, TIRE JUST BLEW OUT. I WAS AMAZED WHEN I SAW OTHERS WITH HONDA CR-V'S HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM GOING TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES TOMORROW. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES..EVER. I JUST HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT HONDA LAST FRIDAY AND THE CAR SERVICED. HONDA WANTED TO SELL ME ANOTHER BRIDGESTONE FOR 183.00. THEY CAN KEEP THEIR BRIDGESTONE TIRES. *TR

UNUSUAL WEAR (INTERIOR EDGE CUPPING) AND NOISE DEVELOPED ON THE RIGHT-REAR TIRE DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (PURCHASED NEW - JANUARY 2011) RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE TIRE CONDITION. MECHANIC (USING COMPUTER ALIGNMENT METHOD) DISCOVERED THAT CAMBER ALIGNMENT WAS NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED RANGE, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT OPTION ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT THE PROPER CAMBER ALIGNMENT, TIRE DESTRUCTION (IN THIS CASE INTERIOR EDGE CUPPING) OCCURS RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE TIRE CONDITION. AN AFTER-MARKET PART IS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY CAMBER ADJUSTMENT, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A HONDA OEM PART AND HONDA DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY RELATED TO THE ISSUE. A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE ROUTINE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISMS TO AVOID DESTRUCTION OF PARTS WHICH CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE AN ORIGINAL OEM PART TO ACCOMMODATE A NECESSARY (AND HONDA RECOMMENDED - VEHICLE ALIGNMENT) ADJUSTMENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY WIPERS PULL THE WATER BACK ACROSS IN FRONT OF ME THE DRIVER THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD IT BLOCKS MY VIEW AND AT NIGHT IT IS ALMOST TO WHERE YOU WOULD RATHER STAY HOME IF ITS RAINING CAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HONDA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THEY HAVE SAID AFTER CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES AND TRYING TO BEND THE ARM AND MULTIPLE RAIN X APPLICATIONS THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. THEY SAID THAT CHANGING THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT HELP, AND TO ME BY LOOKING AT THE AUTOMOBILE IF THE LIP DOWN THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT THERE THE WATER WOULD BE SLUNG OFF THE SIDE VERSE BEING HELD ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ETC AND EVEN HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHILE TRAVELING BECAUSE THE RAINING ISSUE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. THIS IS BECOMING A LARGE PROBLEM AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS JUST UNSAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS CORRECTED IF ANYONE COULD HELP. IT WAS NICE TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM THEY KEEP TELLING ME NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN THE RAIN VERY UNNERVING AND VERY HAZARDOUS. *TR

2011 HONDA CRV 4X4 WAS GOING AT 52 MPH AND TRYING TO BRAKE AND STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD. ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT 65+ MPH THIS CAR STEERING REALLY SHAKES BADLY. -COMPLAINT IT TO HONDA MOTOR / DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED BUT NO REAL HELP FROM ANYONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. - ALL 4-TIRES ARE WORN UN-EVENLY AT 19000 MILES - DEALER / HONDA MOTOR IS NOT WILLING TO RESPONSE BACK OR SEND US EMAIL BACK TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES. - THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, I SHOULD BE COMPLAINING TO THE TIRE COMPANY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY. THE TRACTION ALSO DIMINISHED WHEN THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING OVER A WET SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TIRES HAD WORN UNEVENLY DUE TO A VEHICLE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED REPLACING THE TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

SUMMARY: OUR WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM TRAVELS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT REMOVING RAIN FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE WIPER PULLS THE RAIN BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. IT APPEARS THAT THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD ARM AND BLADE PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. THIS FACTOR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BLOCKING THE DEALER WAS NOTIFY WITH NO CORRECTION.*TR

THE CAR WAS IN AN INDOOR PARKING LOT. DRIVER BACKED UP OUT OF ITS PARKING SPACE AT A LOW SPEED AND BUMPED INTO A WALL BEHIND THE PARKING SPOT. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR JUMPED INTO DRIVE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING WITHOUT DRIVER DOING ANYTHING. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND HIT A CEMENT PYLON. THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE CEMENT PYLON AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH DRIVER WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. THE CAR HIT THE CEMENT PYLON AGAIN AND THEN ANOTHER CAR. THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN DRIVER PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. *TR

I WAS POSITIONED AT AN INTERSECTION, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE ONE I HAD, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC DIDN'T CONCERN ME THAT MUCH. WELL, IT DOES NOW. IT WENT JUST ENOUGH INTO THE INTERSECTION TO GET ME INTO A NEAR CRASH SITUATION. IT JUST TOTALLY BOGGED DOWN. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MAYBE? I HAVE TALKED TO FOUR PEOPLE WITH 2010 AND 2011 CRV'S AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING. I LOVE THIS CAR, BUT THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THIS. THIS IS A REAL DOWNER FOR ME IN RELATION TO THIS CAR. HELP US HONDA. *TR

WITH 28,000 MILES NOW ON OUR 2011 CRV THAT WE BOUGHT NEW ALL 4 TIRES WERE WORN OUT WITH 13,550 MILES ON THEM,AND HAD ALWAYS HAD A VERY SLIGHT FRONT END BUMP. AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES THE BUMP WAS SO BAD WE WENT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE TIRE DEALER AND TIRE PRESSURE AND BALANCE WAS RECHECKED AND WAS FINE THE TIRES ARE FIRESTONE. AT 100 MILES ON THE TIRES WE WENT BACK AND HAD THE TIRES RECHECKED AND ROTATED WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE BUMP. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP COULD ONLY SAY THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE A VERY SOFT COMPOUND AS THE NEW ONES ARE A BETTER TIRE AND DOES NOT RIDE AS SOFT. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE CHANGED OWNERS AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF THEM CHECKING THE CAR. HE CRV EXL NOW HAS 25000 MILES AND TIRES ARE WEARING GREAT BUT STILL HAVE THE BUMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL 4X4 TIRES, SIZE: 225 65 R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES BECAME WORN PREMATURELY AT 20,000 MILES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 10/15/12 *CN UPDATED 10/23/2012 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT TRAVELING 2 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT LIGHT POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,417 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,427.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE IN A CROWDED MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WHEN MY 2011 HONDA CR-V ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED INTO THE CEMENT POLE BEHIND ME. CONFUSED, I PUT THE CAR IN 'DRIVE' TO PULL MYSELF AWAY FROM THE POLE, WHEN THE CAR ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED FORWARD TOWARD THE SPOT I WAS ORIGINAL IN HITTING AND CONTINUALLY PUSHING A PARKED MINI-VAN, WHICH IN TURN PUSHED AND KEPT PUSHING THE PARKED CAR NEXT TO IT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND ONCE AGAIN WENT IN REVERSE, CRASHING INTO THE SAME CEMENT POLE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I BORE DOWN ON THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN 'PARK". IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS ALL OCCURRED IN SECONDS AND WAS TERRIFYING...I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITNESSES IN THE MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WERE STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS HEARING THE LOUD ROAR OF THE ENGINE. *TR

MY CAR WAS 10 DAYS OLD AND THE BUMPER STARTED PEELING. TOOK ME A LOT OF JUMPING HOOPS, PHONE CALLS, LETTERS, AND DAYS OFF WORK TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT WAS REALLY A NIGHTMARE. 6 MONTHS LATER 6/22/2012 THE REAR BUMPER STARTED PEELING. THEY FIXED IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS . LESS THAN ANOTHER MONTH NOW IT IS PEELING AT THE LIFT GATE UNDER THE HANDLE TO OPEN AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT AND SEE WHAT IT IS DOING THEN SEE IF THEY APPROVE IT AND BACK TO JUMPING HOOPS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 9 MONTHS OLD. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PAINT ON THESE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PAINT DOESN'T STICK WELL TO PLASTIC BUT I HAVE LOTS OF DINGS I HAVE HAD TO FILL IT CHIPS VERY EASILY ALSO. I HAVE A TOYOTA WITH ALMOST 300K THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE LOOKS OF MY NEW CAR THAT STAYS PARKED DUE TO ME BEING SCARED TO DRIVE B/C IT MIGHT PEEL OR CHIP. THIS IS NUTS. I WANT IT FIXED AND OR TRADED AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH THIS IS RIDICULOUS WITH A NEW CAR TO HAVE TO LOSE PAY TO GO 150 MILES TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT THEN SCHEDULE THE APPT 150 MILES AND THEN 150 MILES TO GET IT, BUT ALSO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK FOR BOTH. IT IS LOSS OF PAY, COST OF GAS, TIME AND IS GETTING REALLY TIRING! *TR

OUR WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM TRAVELS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT REMOVING RAIN FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE AIR PASSING OVER AND AROUND THE WINDSHIELD ARM AS IT RETURNS, THE WIPER PULLS THE RAIN BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. IT APPEARS THAT THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD ARM AND BLADE CAUSES A VACUUM THAT PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. HERE IN FLORIDA WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM THIS FACTOR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. A QUICK FIX WOULD BE AIRFOIL THAT SNAPS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD ARM THAT WOULD DIRECT AIR INTO THIS VACUUM BEHIND THE WIPER BLADE, DESTROYING THE SUCTION THAT PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR COMES EVERY MONTH OR TWO SINE NOVEMBER 2011. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2011. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND GET DIFFERENT REASONS SUCH AS TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW, TIRE WAS REPAIRED DUE TO A NAIL , WE COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG AND WE JUST RESET IT, AND SINCE YOU WERE DRIVING IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE LIGHT HAS A TENDENCY TO ONE. HOWEVER, I TOOK THE CAR IN JUST TO WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE PRESSURES WERE LOW AND SOMEBODY AT WORK MUST HAVE BEEN DEFLATING MY TIRES WHICH I FIND BURDEN. THREE DAYS AFTER THIS RESET THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT JUST SEEM THAT THEY AREN'T WILLING TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT THOROUGHLY BECAUSE I HAVE 32KPLUS MILES. I M WILLING TO FILE A CLASS ACTION IF POSSIBLE. *TR

STATIC ELECTRICAL SHOCKING WHEN EXISTING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE SECOND DAY OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. STATIC ELECTRICITY SHOCK IS MORE PAINFUL THEN ORDINARY STATIC SHOCK. VISITED THE DEALER, STATED THAT HAPPENS WITH THE CLOTH SEATS AND NO REAL REMEDY FOR THE STATIC ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS. SUGGESTED I BUY ANTI STATIC SPRAY FOR THE SEATS. ANTI STATIC SPRAY HELPS THE SHOCK TO A LESSER DEGREE, BUT DOES NOT LAST LONG. PAINFUL SHOCKS COME BACK QUICKLY AFTER ANTISTATIC SPRAY NO LONGER WORKING. DURING THE RAIN SEASON, THE SHOCKS WERE LESS, BUT THE DRY SEASON IS BACK AND THE SHOCKS ARE BECOMING UNBEARABLE. CONCERN WITH INTENSE SHOCKS IF THEY MAY PLACE A PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER DEFIBRILLATOR IMPLANT IN DANGER. *TR

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CR-V, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE LIGHT, AND FOUND IT TO BE A FAULTY FTP SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED OFF OF ANOTHER CR-V ON THE LOT. SINCE THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR, I HAVE HAD THE PHANTOM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF ABOUT EVERY MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2012, AND THEY FOUND THE FTP SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHERE IN THE SENSOR WAS BAD. THEY CLEARED THE CODE, AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AS I PULLED INTO SERVICE. APRIL 6, THE CHECK FUEL CAP LIGHT WAS FLASHING(WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE LIGHT IS ABOUT TO GO ON) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON APRIL 7. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME.THEY SAID I HAD YET ANOTHER BAD FTP SENSOR, AND REPLACED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A NEW PART IN STOCK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE. RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES ON, MY MILEAGE GOES FROM 27 MPG TO AROUND 22MPG. *TR

THREE TIMES DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING AT STOP LIGHT. ENGINE SEVERELY REVVED UP, HAD TO PUT VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. TOOK IT INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THEIR MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER AND HE HAD IT RECHECKED AND HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. HE COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE. SINCE THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, HE SAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT TO SEE IF THE SITUATION RECURRED. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW SIX MONTH OLD CAR AND HAVE LOST FAITH IN ITS RELIABILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, HE CRASHED INTO A POLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE CABLE A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 03/23/12 *BF UPDATED 03/30/12

FRONT PASSENGER SEATS ROCKS. IT IS NOT SEATED FIRMLY IN TRACKS. HONDA AND DEALER SAY THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE" AND NOT A DEFECT THEY CAN OR WILL FIX. *TR

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN A PARKING GARAGE. THE BRAKES SLOWED THE CAR ON THE FIRST ACCELERATION, BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE AGAIN REVVED-- TO A SHRILL, LOUD SOUND LIKE THAT OF A JET ENGINE. RESULT : CAR RAMMED INTO A SUPPORT PILLAR IN THE GARAGE; AIRBAG DEPLOYED, AND I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. CAR MAY BE TOTALED, STILL AWAITING ESTIMATE FROM INSURANCE. I SPENT 4 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR SURGERY ON MY BROKEN ARM, MULTIPLE BRUISES AND SWOLLEN FACE, AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE FOR 3-4 MONTHS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT OF AN OUTDOOR SHOPPING MALL, SUDDENLY THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. I SHIFTED TO L1 TO SEE HOW IT WOULD REACT. NO MOVEMENT. SHIFTED TO L2, STILL THE CAR DID NOT BUDGE AT ALL. FINALLY, I SHIFTED TO R, THEN, IT MOVED BACKWARD. I PUT THE SHIFT INTO D, AND THEN O.K. I REMEMBER, IN THE PAST, THE CAR HESITATED TO START OUT AFTER A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO MUCH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE REPLICATED TO DIAGNOSE IT. I TOLD THEM, I OR ANY ONE COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I TOLD THEM I AM BRINGING IN MY CAR TOMORROW. BUT I AM AFRAID IF THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS ON THE BUSY STREET ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER. I WILL APPRECIATE TO LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE HAD EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. IF NO ONE HAS REPORTED SO FAR, I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM REGISTERED ON YOUR DATA BASE. THANK YOU. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THE LOW BEAMS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE LOW BEAM DO NOT GIVE ENOUGH LIGHT AND HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONTACT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND STATED THAT THE LOW BEAMS WERE ADJUSTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

THE FACTORY SUPPLIED SEAT BELTS ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO FIT OUR SON AND HONDA REFUSES TO PROVIDE AN EXTENDER. CONSEQUENTLY OUR SON MUST RIDE (ILLEAGALLY IN IOWA) WITHOUT A SEAT BELT ON. *TR

SEPARATION OF INTERNAL HEADLINER FROM RUBBER LINING AT REAR IN A NEW VEHICLE. POSSIBLE SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD IF NOT REPAIRED OR CORRECTED. DEALER IS UNWILLING TO TAKE CARE OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN A TIMELY & REASONABLE MANNER. DEALER CLAIMS MANUFACTURER HAS INVENTORY & SHIPPING PROBLEMS.

DEAD BATTERY IN 4 MONTHS. *TR

WHEN CRUISING ALONG AT A CONSTANT SPEED AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A CAR, THE CR-V DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT TO AN APPROPRIATE LOWER GEAR. THE CAR ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS FURTHER DEPRESSED. THE MOTOR BOGS DOWN. IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED DOWN ABNORMALLY FAR, THE CAR MAY THEN DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR. WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL AND ADDITIONAL POWER IS NEEDED THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCUR. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN WITH MINIMAL POWER. THESE ARE BOTH INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. THERE IS A HONDA TSB 10-077 WHICH MAY ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IT CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THE ENGINE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN THIS OCCURS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS HE HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE ENGINE BOLT HAD DETACHED FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE ENGINE BOLT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. UPDATED 07/08/11 *BF UPDATED 07/18/11

THE FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS IN THE 2011 HONDA CR-V ARE TILTED TOO FAR FORWARD, RESULTING IN SEVERE NECK STRAIN FOLLOWED BY HEADACHES. WHILE HONDA SUGGESTS POSITIONING THE SEAT TILTED BACK, THIS DOES NOT ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM AND RESULTS IN A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE THEN HAS DIFFICULTY SEEING OVER THE HOOD AND GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL. A RE-DESIGN OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS REQUIRED SO IT DOES NOT FORCE THE HEAD FORWARD AND DOWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED.
