This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle was slow to respond. The vehicle lost motive power and shut off. The contact stated that after five minutes, the vehicle was restarted; however, while driving at an undisclosed speed the vehicle inadvertently shut off. The contact was eventually able to restart the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as designed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 180,290.
A/C compressor in 2007-2011 Honda CR-V has a known defect in the A/C compressor clutch. The clutch component of the compressor includes the pulley which turns the compressor motor. When the clutch fails, the compressor motor seizes up and stops the pulley from turning. The pulley on the compressor is driven by one serpentine belt on a tensioner which turns the alternator, the power steering motor, the crankshaft, the water pump, and the A/C compressor. When the A/C compressor seizes up, the belt will snap in two every time because the A/C pulley will not turn. The car will not be operable unless the A/C compressor is replaced. To replace the A/C compressor, the refrigerant must be vacuumed out, the condenser and desiccant replaced, the compressor replaced, the system recharged, and a new belt put on. This costs about $2500 at Honda or at another shop around $1700. Honda refused to fix the clutch when I took my car in after discovering the A/C was not working. I have replaced the compressor in this vehicle twice already, and now it needs a third replacement. It is a safety issue because the belt will break while driving causing power steering to go out, possibly causing a crash, the battery will not charge, leaving you stranded, the water pump will not function causing your engine to overheat, and possibly causing a blown head gasket or worse. This situation has occurred twice already but I-??m reporting the latest one.
Just bought this used and am already having transmission issues. Happy to have it available for an inspection. My safety, the safety of their drivers and that of my passengers is put at risk frequently. The engine shudders at certain speeds under40. In order to remedy that it is necessary for me to take my foot off the gas with no warning of brake lights. I haven-??t taken it to a Honda dealer yet but after I bought this CRV a month ago I learned they are rank with transmission issues. There is no warning in any way, shape or form other than the sudden shuddering which can range from a gentle shudder to one that feels like the car is falling apart. I don-??t know when this issue started but may be why it-??s been sold via private sale several times.
Car cut off no steering everything locked down had serpentine belt fixed but the tpm light is on app need rack and pinion as well. Need struts and shocks and car rattles terribly. It's about 4 thousand dollars I am disabled this is a safety hazard I don't know what I can do. Is Honda not responsible for defect
Car was parked and burst into flames from engine compartment. No check engine lights no issues with car. Some building damage from fire. Car totaled, engine block melted from fire.
While driving, when I stop at a traffic light, the engine light, vsa light, and the ! warning light would turn on and after that when I try to accelerate, the car will barely respond and fastest it will go is 10 mph! I literally have to put on my hazards and wave cars by then find a place I can stop my car, turn it off, restart it, then the warning lights are gone and I can drive again. This has happened 2 times in the past one month. I took to a mechanic & he stated I need to replace the accelerator pedal position sensor & V-tec solenoid. I believe this is a manufacturing defect.
My SUV will intermittently won't start. I have a new battery, and the starter and alternator are good. I cannot reproduce the problem when I am on the shop. So he shop cannot fix it. I checked the google site and there were numerous issues with Honda CR-V.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. while driving 35 mph, the vsa and check engine warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle violently jerked. The contact had to release the accelerator pedal or pull over, shift into park, and wait a couple of minutes before shifting back into drive in order for the jerking to stop. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic testing was performed, but the contact was unaware of the failure codes. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
I was driving my car on the highway when all the lights on the dashboard turned on (check engine, check batterry, check tires etc). So I pulled over to the side of the highway and turned off the car and tried turning it back on and it would not turn on. You could hear the engine cranking but it would not turn on. After several attempts I called a tow truck and had my car towed to the rick case Honda dealer where my car had recently been serviced. After having my car checked for a whole day I was told that my engine had blown and I needed a new engine. The Honda svc advisor told me the car had overheated and that's why the engine blew. I explained to him the car never overheated bc the temperature gauge never went past the normal temperature. When I went to pick up my car I spoke to the shop foreman and he told me a metal pipe that holds the coolant had cracked and all the coolant leaked out and that's what caused the engine to overheat and blow. He couldn't tell me what caused the metal pipe to crack. After taking my car to have the engine replaced I was told that the metal pipe that cracked was worn out at a specific spot and that's what caused the metal pipe to crack. I tried calling the Honda dealer to explain this bc not too long before my car had some hoses replaced in the same area where the metal pipe was located but the dealer and corporate Honda say I have no proof that the work they did prior was what caused the friction to the metal pipe leading it to crack. I explained it was odd that the rest of the metal pipe was in good condition except that one spot where the crack was but they refused to listen. Had I not pulled over when the lights on the dashboard turned on and I kept driving on the hwy who knows what could have happened to me or others on the hwy. I feel this is a serious safety issue but Honda states not enough pple have complained about this.
Air conditioning is not working. My husband found a video regarding this model year & make which said that Honda had a recall going on for this problem. Called to make an appointment, couldn't get in till July 13. Went away from the phone for a little bit, the dealer called back & left a message to say my car isn't included in any recall for air conditioning and I can make an appointment for a diagnostic. After checking numerous sites I've realized my original contention is correct, this is definitely an engineering flaw from Honda and should be fixed by them at little (maybe for coolant refill) to no charge, just for their poor design.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. while driving at low speeds, there was a clicking noise near the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
I had driven the car from Florida to NY with my dog. While travelling North on I95 I noticed some intermittent bucking, hard shifting, and going into neutral. It was intermittent so I assumed it was some anomaly. After stopping at my families residence in yonkers NY. I drove the car to riverdale to visit my mother. After leaving the nursing home I proceeded on the return trip to yonkers. I was northbound on the sprain parkway and exited at tuckahoe road. There is a full stop sign at the intersection. I was fully stopped looked both ways an inched out to make a right turn ( the visibility of oncoming traffic in the eastbound direction is limited because of an incline and the road has high traffic volume during the day) I am not certain if the car slipped back into neutral or the individual behind me failed to make a full stop. I was hit rather hard in the rear end. With or without the transmission concern the car behind me did not obey the stop sign. My car was towed to a collision and repair facility. When the technician was assessing damage he performed a road test and found the car hesitating and shifting in and out of gear. He checked the transmission fluids and found them to have a burning smell and be black. I had only had the transmission fluid flushed and changed in January. And prior to that less than 5 months earlier.
While driving from my home I got to a toll booth and after paying the toll placed my foot on the accelerator and the car simply revved as if it was in neutral with rpms varying indiscriminately. Suddenly the car jerked forward with a loud bang and moved normally I pulled to the shoulder and checked fluids and for signs of any problems. We received no dashboard warning lights. We continued our trip but the car would not shift between 3rd and 4th gear and we couldn't maintain speed. Suddenly the incident at the toll both repeated itself. I shut the car down although temperature was ok as was oil pressure. After a short wait we resumed driving and the car performed normally for about 50 miles and then it was back to no shift or long duration before shift and then a banging noise. We got to our destination and car was parked for about 3 hours. After starting the car and placing it in drive I had a hard shift between 1st and 2nd gear I was making a left hand turn and the failure to accelerate put us in danger of a rear impact collision. I called Honda but it was not something they would even talk about over the phone. We continued on our return trip and were cruising at the 70 mph limit in the middle lane on I 75 in Florida when suddenly the transmission dropped out of gear going into a neutral mode the engine rpms were moving all over the place. I was slowing down and attempting to get to the shoulder. After getting to the shoulder I cycled through all the transmission positions and could achieve 3rd gear but it would go in and out of 4th gear. When these conditions occurred I did not feel I was in control of the vehicle nor safe. I have never had a problem with this vehicle before however I am being told that it is a problem on multiple models of Honda. I am a trained, certified, accident, engineer reconstructionist ( mostly large vehicles and urban buses ).
Ac compressor /clutch is broken, no cold air, only hot air blowing from ac. Expensive to fix. Honda needs to replace this free of charge!! I understand there is a major problem with the poorly placed ac compressor.
In line with the recent Mazda recall for yellow sac spiders found in the evac canisters, my Honda CR-V had the same problem. Apparently, this is a problem that has affected Honda Accord in the past because Honda has issued a service bulletin on installing a special filter for Honda Accord to prevent the spiders from entering. However, no such bulletin or part exists for the Honda CR-V. as such, after paying nearly $100 at the dealership for them to diagnose and remove the spiders, there is no guarantee that this can't happen again because they did not add a filter to prevent spider re-entry. At the minimum, these spiders with their resultant webs can severely limit gas mileage. At the worst, a fire or engine failure can result. I petition that Honda issue a recall for Honda CR-V's and cover the labor and parts costs for placing a specialized filter to prevent spider re-entry.
This has been a repeated problem with unwanted acceleration. I have filed several complaints with your Agency to no avail. I have contacted Honda and they insist there is no problem. This is a safety issue and it needs to be addressed.
This is my third complaint to your Agency. My previous complaint numbers: 10561753, 10560625, and 10548352. My CR-V has an unwanted acceleration problem. As I am applying the brakes to stop, the engine speed increases and requires very hard braking and shifting the transmission into neutral. This has occurred several times in the past 6 months. I have taken my car to the Honda dealer and it was examined by a factory representative who reported there is nothing wrong. This opinion is based on the problem not occurring during the day they had the car. This problem does not occur every day or even every week. I told them that the power control module may be the problem but they refuse to replace it. My contacts to independent repair shops have resulted in being told this is a problem to be addressed by Honda and not an independent shop. I feel that an accident will eventually occur and I don't know where to turn for help. Please help me resolve this dangerous situation.
