Takata recall car is sputtering, and then stalling, alarm system goes off unexpectantly, check engine light and other lights go off - reads as misfire and has to deal with emisions system. Appears to happen in other model Honda and some type of switch. Dangerous if car stalls in traffic

There has been several stalled engine incidents while driving on a city street and also stationary at a red traffic light. No engine light has turned on leading to a wiring issue perhaps. Not so much a mechanical issue more so electrical of software related. It is unknown when the engine will turn off. There are two recall associated with stalled engine for Honda CR-V 2010. There are the ignition circuit coupler failure (11V004000) and the automatic transmission control module software (11V395000) however my VIN is not apart of that recall. I am scared and fear for my life that this stalled engine issue will cause my car to get into an accident or even worst have someone else and I get killed.

I wish to complain about my 2010 Honda CRV. I am having issues with my air conditioning unit. When it is hot, it blows hot air even when it is set on the lowest temperature. However, when it is nighttime it will blow cold air. Honda evacuated and recharged the system only for me to experience the same issues two months later. I was then told that I needed to replace the ac compressor, coil set, clutch set, etc. I went to get a second opinion and I was told that the ac compressor would not even power on due to electrical issues. In relation to electrical issues, my car also stalled about a year ago and I was able to have that issue rectify without taking it to Honda.

Issue 1: when I am trying use the heater it seems like my side (drive side) is stuck on blowing cold air. While the passenger side seems to be adjusting fine and the temperature changes just fine. But on my side, eventho it says it's on hi heat. Or 85 degrees. It's still just blowing cold air on me. I'm doing something wrong. Also, when I press the duel button it still just blows cold air on me, but not on the passenger side.

While traveling a very busy interstate on a holiday, my battery cable came off (erosion). This happened while going slow due to a normal traffic slowdown. I was in the middle lane of a 5-lane freeway. After my car stopped, traffic backed up as far as the eye could see. I had no electrics and, as a result, I could not get out of my car, open a window, turn on emergency flashers, or use the manual door locks. If the car had caught fire, I had no way to get out. Breaking a window from inside, without a tool for that use, is beyond my abilities. With a slightly different set of circumstances, my life could have been in danger. I think the inability to exit my car is a very serious safety problem. It was very warm and the car quickly heated up. Traffic backed up as far as the eye could see. A few people stopped to help and ended up getting very angry with me. "stupid" and "idiot" were the names they used for me because they could not understand why I would not manually open the door. I hope this complaint results in a reply. Thank you

Both the brake and vehicle stability assist (vsa) warning lights are lit up on instrument panel, even when parking brake is not engaged and vsa not being used. Especially in cold weather (below 40) these warning lights turn on when the car is running; but sometimes also in warmer weather (below mid 50S). Issue just started Nov. 2016, so not sure if lights will go on in warm weather. Dealer could not correct. There was no accident preceding the faulty warning lights.

CR-V

  • 77,300 miles
My complaint is the same as the one that owners of any 2007-2009 Honda CR-V had to put up with: Door lock actuator failure. Driver's side rear door failed to unlock. Will only unlock manually, is not responsive whatsoever to the key fob, or the lock/unlock button inside of the vehicle. The tailgate also will not unlock by any means, which poses a serious safety hazard to the vehicle. I am asking for an extension of the door lock actuator recall from 2007-2009. Who is to say that once I replace this costly part for $350, that I will not have to then replace any of the existing 3? there are multiple reports online of 2010 CR-V owners having the same issue and the recall should be extended to encompass the 2010 CR-V vehicles.

Drivers side door actuator failed, could not unlock or lock doors, very scary. Could not figure out why I could not get out of car. The door lock actuator failed. Also passenger door lock actuator failed as well. This was really scary that Honda has a class action lawsuit that was settled but did not include 2010 CR-V. had to get this fixed as it is an extreme safety concern that Honda did not want to include fixing this issue in there settlement and now maybe the NHTSA might look into this this is a safety issue.

Driver side door actuator is malfunctioning. Unable to lock door with key fob, have to manually lock it. Class action lawsuit was for the 2007 and 2008 model, however the company is still using the defect part in newer models. Waiting for the other door to malfunction and if it persist it might cause a fire in the door. Big safety concern, guess the government will wait until someone dies before recalling this problem. This is a known problems for the crvs, look at the class action lawsuit.

Vehicle was rear-ended by a faster vehicle. The impact forced the transmission into "park, " which automatically locked the doors, trapping any occupants. Had there been a fire or water submergence situation, there could be unnecessary injury or even death. Vehicle door locks need to be re-designed to let occupants escape in an emergency.

Year after having the car I had to replace the interia light 3 times. I also had to replace the brake lights, and the tag light. When taking it dealer they said it was ok. The dash lights for the ABS and slide control comes on when backing up and stays on until I restart. The dealer said it is ok as long as it does not stay on.
