Went to put bike rack on car and installer said frame rusted and advised that Honda CRV in Northeast up until 2011 were recalled for frame rusting. I believe my vehicle falls into this category as well. Installer wouldn-??t install bike rack

While going over speed bump, left Rear trailing arm broke off. Large amount of rust was noted to frame. Our CRV had to be towed to our local Honda dealer. There is a current recall for this same issue on vehicle years 2007-2011 but none to cover our 2012 CRV.

The car doors keep clicking locking and the light shows a door open. Can be turning or just driving highway and clicks. My mechanic says it-€™s an actuator and looked it up and seems that there was a safety recall, 2 service bulletins and a safety class action suit on this. I never received a thing on this. I called My Honda dealer and they show nothing. They just have an air bag recall which never received a letter on either.

The 2012 CRV has one driver's side door key lock for the entire vehicle located on the drivers door. The 3 original keys for the CRV all fit in the key hole and turn easily, but none of the keys opened the door. The keys work to start the emission but not the doors, The fobs all work on all the doors, as well. This issue was identified when the battery died, the key fobs were rendered useless and none of the original keys worked to open the vehicle. This was very dangerous to have no way to enter our car if we were stranded due to a battery malfunction or other electrical issue. The car was brought to the Honda Dealership and evaluated and it was found that the door/key actuator is not working. There are many complaints identical to mine found on the internet. A class action lawsuit was filed against Honda Corp for this exact issue and the plantiffs won. I have missed this deadline for this class action lawsuit. Service Bulletins Service ID: 14-083, 14-084 These service bulletins allowed Honda CR-V owners to get their door actuators repaired free of charge until November 2015. The bulletins applied to the driver-€™s side and passenger door lock actuators, but stated they were only to be repaired if they were faulty, instead of a blanket replacement for all actuators. This is still an issue that is dangerous and needs to be fixed, especially as we do not know when a battery may die and not being able to get into your CRV. Honda Corp was also notified of this issue and to date nothing is being done.

The VTC actuator needed to be replaced at 85,522. It cost me $1169.17 to replace it. In doing my research, SEVERAL people have had issues with this part yet Honda has not had it recalled. You can find the evidence on You tube. The warranty is 70,000 for a $1200 dollar fix? Shame on Honda for selling an inferior product, leaving their customers with a hefty repair bill. I want to be reimbursed for my repair and the VTC actuator to be recalled.

The heater on my 2012 Honda CRV has cold air on driver side and hot air on passenger side.the driver side defrost, side vent and heat all cold. I purchase the car new and has never really needed to use the heater. The few times I turned the heater on I thought that it was just taking a long time to get warm and just turned it off because the cold air blowing was worst than turning it off, and most times was only going a short distance. I didn't realize until much later that it was getting hot on the passenger side and not the driver side. I live where it warm most of the year and rarely need to use the heater, not until recently when I turned it on and realized it wasn't working properly. There are many complaints on line about this issue with the Honda CRV from 2012 on to newer models. Why is there not a recall on the Honda CRV? this is not fair to the consumers because when you take the car in to the Honda dealer for repairs, they want to charge you a few hundred dollars to fix an issue that they know is a problem. If a consumer drive across country from a warm area to a cold area not knowing the heater is not working properly, they are going to be in danger, especially if small children or an elderly person or persons are in the car. The dealer or service department at Honda is not going to tell customers that this has been an ongoing issue for years. They are going to continue to charge customers to have this expensive repair done until NHTSA does it job to contact owners of this particular model or require Honda service departments report all the repairs they have done on the heater because of the exact same problem starting with Honda CRV 2012 through Honda 2020. This is the least that NHTSA should do. Consumers that purchase these vehicles and trusted Honda to do the right thing needs your help now, not 10 years from now.

When driving from 30 to 40 mph the vehicle start vibrating and shaking. After 40 mph the vibration disappear. It seems many drivers for the 2012 Honda CRV are experience the same issue. It seems Honda corporation has not provided any solution.

Driver's side does not heat nor defrost driver's side window due to heater core problem. It's getting worse each winter. I now need to drive with a blanket! also, extremely loud grinding noise upon cold start. Started about 8 months ago and is really concerning.

- Greenwood, WI, USA

The car was parked in a parking lot. We had trouble locking the doors with the key fob remote. We manually locked the car doors. When we returned to the car we were unable to open any of the car doors or trunk using the key fob remote. We tried the physical key in the drivers door and that also did not open. A aaa locksmith was able to open the car door.

Transmission is not good too bad

Low heat on driver's side of car compared to passenger side caused by clog in the heater core. I found many complaints online and it seems to be a known problem/defect. It causes significantly slower defrosting on the driver's side that decreases visibility if someone does not have over 30 minutes to let the car idle long enough to defrost in cold weather. Not only does it waste gas but it is now a fineable offense to leave a car idling outside your home or work where I live.

Heat on left side of vehicle does not blow out hot. This appears to be a common diagnosed problem with the 2012-2014 Honda CR-V. very disappointed in this issue and no recall. Expect more out of a Honda with 65,000 miles! this is a big safety issue when the defroster will not defrost the window....

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

Driver's side heat was blowing slightly warm while passenger side was hot had to pay over300 to get the heater core flushed when this is a common problem on these models was sold this way from a Honda dealer this is a safety hazard when the window is unable to clearly defrost this needs to be recalled

Vtc actuator: Loud rattling noise upon cold start-up started at approx 75K miles. Car is stationary. Took car to dealership for regular maintenance and given a clean bill of health each time. In fact dealer told me it may have been my imagination because they could not duplicate the sound in shop. The extended warranty expires 2 months ago. Because the sound persisted and seems louder in fact, I left my CR-V at dealer's overnight, sound was heard and duplicated first thing in the am. Then I get a diagnosis of the vtc actuator failure at a replacement cost of $849. In addition, my timing chain cover is now mysteriously leaking oil, costing $748 for repair. I wonder if the constant rattling of the variable valve timing control actuator aided in this issue. According to published tsb and online complaints, Honda has known of vtc actuator problem/safety issue since 2012 which means the Honda technicians were aware prior to my constant complaining about it, my warranty expiring, and an enormous cost for repairs. Anything less than an official recall forcing Honda to replace part for working one at no cost to vehicle owner is a lack of integrity, deceitful dealings and unfair to Honda loyal consumers.

The defroster on the driver's side emits air that is much cooler (sometimes cold) than the air on the passenger side. The ability to keep the windshield clear is greatly hampered during changing weather conditions. Honda tsb 14-063 attempts to address the problem, but it is not effective and places an unnecessary cost on the consumer.
