Air conditioner problem that didn't arise until well after the 7 year or 100,000 miles. I am on year 9 and 7,000 miles over and nothing can be done about this. It is a known issues and it is still happening. A friend of mine has a CRV also but a 2017 to my 2010 and he has the same issue. Not as bad but still. Why should we have to pay out of pocket for something Honda knows about and still puts in there vehicles!
Driver side door won't unlock. First time I tried to unlock all doors wouldn't unlock and I was trapped inside my car. Not electrical as windows proceeded to roll down/up. Dealership wants to and I quote "break door to see what problem is". I think not. Key fob doesn't unlock any door but key fob will lock all doors. Have to manually unlock at driver side door and then go enter passenger side door to enter vehicle. Safety hazard for sure.
I have 2010 Honda CRV when I driving the CRV, when the transmission is between 2th, 3th gear I hear a grinding noise coming from the transmission. Im no sure what it is, but transmission shift to the 4th gear the noise go away.
Single owner of vehicle, bought brand new. For last 18 months or more...large oil consumption, about 1100 miles per synthetic oil change. Sounds like a lawnmower when starting vehicle. Terrible "pick-up". very low gas mileage, used 87 unleaded for entire life of car. Currently averging about 12 miles per gallon (highway/around town combined). Taken to local Honda dealership many times with no real solution although posts all over internet with same problems.
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.

Michelin defender xt green X tires are cracked and separating around all the tread. Only have 35,000 miles on tires and are less than 4yrs old. Some cracking is also on sidewalls but mostly in the tread. Also have vibration at 60+ mph due to tread separating from tire. This is the 4th vehicle I have had these tires dry rot and cracking. I have replaced all of my tires. I did the Michelin warranty on one vehicle and it was a nightmare, no dealers honor the warranty and they lie to customers saying tires are safe. Please have Michelin recall the defender green X line of tires before someone gets hurt. Dot codes: 225/65R17 B93T02bx1114 B93T02bx0914
Hot sunny and humid day heading to work when turning on the air conditioning it blows warm to hot air as the car is already warm from the sun it doesnt blow cold air and if it does its rarely and wont last long. I have seen a lawsuit was filed and settled but my year of the car wasnt mentioned but seems to be more than just mine as well. Just purchased October 2016
Problems with the air conditioning condensers or compressors.the ac compressor may seize resulting in loss of cold air from the ac vents. Often when the compressor fails in the fashion, debris is spread through out the entire air conditioning system resulting in very expensive repairs.

Catalytic converter failure. I also found out that the vehicle is covered under an excessive oil comsumption warranty which they will replace the engine piston rings due to oil entering the system. This problem will also cause oil to get into the fuel system and eventually get it the catalytic converter causing it to fouled and set efficiency codes.I am in the process of enquire to see if Honda will replace the catalytic converter.
When car is on, stationary & driving for both issues: Noxious smelling fumes since I got the car. Had it check by Honda dealer in 2011 and was told that there was no problem. I often get nauseated, but my daughter and husband gets very nauseated and headache, general un-wellness all the time they are in the car. It seems to be getting worst. This car also has a vibration problem that has always been a part of this model as well.
I purchased this car on 3/26/10 based upon performance ratings boasted by Honda. There have been manufacturers defects from the start. Currently about 118,000 miles. Early on I started hearing pinging sounds under the hood. Honda dealer said I was low on oil, put a quart in, and the sound stopped. He advised to put oil in whenever the sound occurred. This was before my first oil change. I continued to add oil as the sound re-occurred, 2-4 quarts between oil changes. I repeatedly questioned the consumption but no malfunction was found. July of 2011 Honda acknowledged the problem with (tsb#11-033). In November 2011, the dealer did an oil consumption software update. At this time there was no recall. The continual cost for synthetic oil remained and the oil light never came on. An oil consumption recall issued in 2015. The car failed the oil test Honda did required service as per recall protocol. The tech indicated the catalytic converter needs to be replaced but was out of warranty. Honda agreed to pay 50% of the cc repair. I declined since I have no money for this due to unemployment, nor should I put one cent into a car that has been defective from the start. My car was also recalled for takata airbags. Honda provided a rental car for 2.5 months. I picked up the car and now the engine light is on, brakes malfunctioning and compromised cc. It is not safe to drive. I have been driving a car with a substantial defect from the day one. I have spent countless dollars on oil. There have been two recalls. The car is no longer safe or dependable due to cc and brakes. I am concerned about engine longevity. I will never be able to drive this vehicle without being fearful. I feel it is Honda's responsibility to make me whole and provide the type of vehicle I signed up for. Please advise next steps to bring about a resolution in the immediate future.
Honda dealership does not have airbag parts nor does it know when if ever the parts will be available; dealership should be instructed to disable the killer airbag until the parts become available.
The vehicle filed Virginia safety inspection because the driver's seat belt was severely frayed. The vehicle has only 23,008 miles on it. The repair shop installed a new seatbelt (genuine Honda part) and advised me to contact Honda. The repair shop returned the defective seat belt to me to aid in my claim. I contacted Honda of North America and was advised to see my local dealership (hall Honda). At the Honda dealership I was told they would not "touch" something that had already been replaced. I then called Honda North America back and informed them of hall's verdict. The situation has not been resolved at this point, but I wanted to report this in case there may be other owners with the same issue, their safety may be jeopardized as well.
Air conditioning blowing cold and hot; many reports of this on websites regarding 2010 Honda CRV. The blower is working fine but the air conditioning goes from cold to neutral over and over again with no other symptoms. Vehicle is on and in motion when this happens. There is no recall that I can find regarding the situation.
My air conditioner was working fine on aride down to yakee stadium, on the way home it just would not work, he garae mech. Told me the compressor was not working, I bought this car in Oct. Of 2009, the 2009 models and before had recalls for this problem, I was wondering if my car has the same problem, I checked the heater it orks just fine. Maybe my air system is still the sme as the 2009 models as bought it in 2009.
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.
The ac compressor failed. The mechanic said that the car should not have this problem at this mileage and year. I checked online and saw that it was a problem that many people have dealt with but Honda has not yet issued a recall for the 2010 model.
