I was on the highway driving straight and steady. The driver side rear wheel/ lower control arm went to a 30 degree angle and pulled the axle from the rear differential. The wheel locked up and the vehicle was very difficult to control. I skidded to the shoulder leaving a 400 foot skid mark. Thankfully there was no one near me as traffic was very light. If road or traffic conditions were any worse there would almost certainly been a serious accident. I have extensive mechanical experience and have never seen a 11 year old vehicle fail from corrosion in this manor. There is a recall in Canada for this exact issue and Honda is/has helped repair/replace many there vehicles with this issue. It has been inspected by NYS inspectors annually and never raised any flags. I was never notified by honda to check to check for this issue and the dealership it was bought from is refusing to help. The 2011 Crv appears relatively rust free other than the area that failed and the other side almost as bad. This is a serious safety issue and Honda needs to do something to prevent future injuries and deaths. This failure happened with no warning at all. Thank you.

Rust hole found in unibody at passenger's side rear where trailing arm bolts to vehicle in front of passenger's side rear wheel. Because this is so close to the bolt for the trailing arm, this is an immediate safety issue. Hole originally there but rust caused it to enlarge significantly. The trialing arm could break at any point and cause a severe crash. I was about to go on a long road trip and very likely this could have broken. Consumer stated the safety issue is caused by a design flaw in the 2007-2011 Honda CR-V models and in fact a recall for this issue has happened in Canada. The issue was discovered by my local mechanic during a routine oil change and tire rotation. There were no warnings, messages, or symptoms. After researching I found that this exact issue is being recalled in Canada but not in the United States. I live in Vermont and experience the same harsh winters and salted roads as Canada. Shocked that this is not a recall in my area.

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.

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.

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.

After making a right turn the car pulls to the right, Honda calls this memory steering but in bad weather the front has a loss of traction. Vibration starting around 60mph. Tires were change, front end aligned but the vibration still remains. Feels like a shaft problems. A complaint is file with the BBB.
