About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Going speed and car almost stutters, feels like looses power, RPM's raise when given gas but car will not increase speed, continues to slow down until vsa light comes on. On other occasions the car abrutly stops, feeling like the brakes lock up once again, until the vsa light comes on. I have read multi post from CRV owners having this same issue as well as a post about a class act law suit already involving Honda for the vehicle stability alert system.

While driving on the nys thruway southbound on a clear, dry day, we were about to exit onto exit 13N when a speeding sedan cut us off before we could exit and we had to steer the vehicle back onto the thruway. The 2009 Honda CR-V went out-of-control and we weaved over 3 lanes of traffic and hit the cement median, bounced off and hit it again. The vehicle was totaled. In addition, the passenger front safety bags partially deployed and side bags did not deploy at all. My husband and I were ambulanced to the emergency room. I suffered numerous bruising and abrasions to the chest. He suffered massive bruising and 4 broken ribs. There is definitely a steering issue with the 2009 Honda CR-V and should not be rated a safe vehicle. We had previously leased a 2006 and had no issues with that model.
