CR-V

  • 140,000 miles
Engine rattles at early morning start up, Honda aware of vtc actuator default and needs to open a recall cases to all CRV made between 2012-2014. I have had to replace the cam shafts, and drive belt. I have had to replace the control arms and tires. All mt dash lights have come on while I was driving. The car shakes and is scary to drive. This car has safety issues with the control arms in the suspension and acceleration issues that have been reported by consumers. When does someone decide that this is a safety issue. When a car has tire, acceleration, or issues with transmission this is a safety issue. Honda should do something to show they care about the consumer safety. There are many issues with the Honda CR-V please address the serious ones.

CR-V

  • 100,000 miles
This car developed a major vibration while accelerating at low speeds (around 20-30 mph) around 65,000miles. The steering wheel shakes and passengers can feel the car "shudder". I was told it needed a software update and transmission fluid changed. This was done and now at 100,000 miles the vibration is back and Honda is refusing to repair it. States the extended the warranty to 80,000 miles for this known problem but since its over 100,000 it would be out of pocket.

CR-V

  • 18,000 miles
On March 11, 2017, I was traveling from fort lauderdale to naples Florida on interstate 75. I had the car on cruise control and traveling around 70 mph. I took the car off cruise control and then pressed on the gas when the car's engine deaccelerated the car severely. I pressed and let off the gas pedal several times as the car continue to deaccelerate and almost caused an accident with an 18-wheeler. A similar circumstance has also occurred but at 10-20 mph when accelerating from a red light and needing to take my foot off the gas and then press down on the gas to continue. The engine continues to run but does not accelerate the car. If the high speed condition occurs again, I will need to put the car in neutral to stop the car's engine from severely deaccelerating the car.

CR-V

  • 364 miles
Twice in a day and while driving in the rain for the first time, four malfunction lights appeared in the dashboard and stayed on. They were the AWD, ABS, vsa and eps amber lights. I took pictures of the display in the dashboard. The next day the display had cleared and I took the vehicle to the dealer. I showed one of the pictures to the service advisor. After 2.5 hours I was told that they could not duplicate the trouble and that the trouble was possibly caused by slippage in recent weather. This is unsettling as it makes me wonder if I will continue to have this problem on rainy days.

CR-V 4-cyl

  • 2,993 miles
I was driving and all of the safety lights came on, on the dash board, antilock brakes, traction control, vehicle stability. This is the second time this has happened.the first time the left front ABS wheel speed sensor was replaced at the dealership. The car had less than 300 miles on it.the second time, with less than 3000 miles on it, all of the lights came on again on the dashboard and I had difficulty stopping the car. The brakes were very difficult to use, they seemed to get stuck and were making an awful racket.corrosion was found in wheel speed sensor connector harness side and the engine harness was replaced. I lost the use of the car for 14 days as the front of the car, grille, fender, steering wheel, dashboard and other parts has to be disassembled and the replacement parts were not available to the dealership.
