There appears to be a defect in the body part of vehicle. Please note that I have uploaded pictures of the Rhea body of the vehicle to show where the defect is protruding from the vehicle.
Car makes horrible sound when cranking. I work with three other people that have Honda CRv cars that are having this exact same noise occurring every time they crank their cars as well. Google search indicates it may be a cam actuator gear assembly gone bad.
I am the owner of 2011 hond VIN# [xxx]. that was purchase in 04/16/2021. I was parking my vehicle in a parking lot at [xxx] I placed my foot on the brakes as I attempted to park. The car accelerated and hit a vehicle in fron of me. I was startled by this occurrence. I then put the car in reverse and again stepped on my brakes while trying to back off from the struck car. The car again accelerated and hit the car behind me causing substantial damage to that car and my vehicle. I believe the car has a manufacturing defect. I request that the Agency investigate this incident for safety reasons. The car is in really bad condition right now after the incident.

Received recall notice from Honda, attempted to make an appointment in May 2023 with Lia Honda in Enfield. Lia Honda failed to return multiple calls and set up an appointment, telling me -??We will call you when we have the parts for this recall-??. Once it reached September, I called a Honda dealership and repair center in Manchester and have an appointment with them in November 2023. This is completely unacceptable as the recall states that failure to make this appointment can cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle and crash.

Driver side actuator has failed. The driver door won't open at all. Other doors must remain unlocked or I can not get into the car at all. The door lock won't move either.
On Saturday, August 26, 2023 we were locked out of our 2011 Honda CR-V and had to call for assistance to get into the car. Neither of the key fobs worked and even attempting to unlock the drivers side door with the key did not work. Everything worked perfectly fine the day before. There were no issues whatsoever with the door locks prior to this. We called AAA, they got us in the car from the passenger side door. Drivers side door still would not open from the inside or outside of the car. Took it to the Honda dealer and was told it was the DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. We did a little digging and discovered that there was a class action lawsuit regarding this that was filed in January 2013 and a recall on this part in this particular model in 2014. At that time, our door lock actuator was working, so they did nothing with it. But, many years later, here we are, it malfunctioned, and we are now out $853.30 to have the door lock actuator fixed as well as the Master Window Switch, which was broken by the dealer while attempting to get the drivers side door open. (There were no problems with windows prior to this either.) I have found MANY people online who have had to pay for this repair because Honda said nothing was wrong with this on their cars back when the recall was in place. My husband could have been trapped in the car had something happened on the road affecting the passenger side of the car. (Since he had to climb thru from the passenger side to get into the drivers side of the car.) And I don't feel it is right that ALL of the Hondas involved were not fixed back when they discovered a problem in 2013. There are A LOT of these cars on the road right now, and this is NOT SAFE.
Severe erosion under framing and exhaust of vehicle. Safety risk of the frame falling off and injuring myself or others on the road. Car could easily result in a major accident. Problem has been confirmed by a Honda dealer, that is how I found out the entire frame is eroded. No inspection has been done by manufacturer. No warning lights or messages, only very loud exhaust sound.
Driver's door actuator failed. It gives a buzzing sound when the door is manually locked or when the auto lock engages when driving. I have contacted a Honda dealer in Bloomington, Indiana to find the information on recall replacement. Thank you for your help and guidance in this matter.
TPMS light comes off and on even though tires are fine. Back of vehicle shakes, and feels unstable especially on highway when speeds are higher. And you can hear a sound clicking that comes from the rear end of the vehicle.
The back passenger door on the driver side keeps unlocking itself. Well driving and when parked. The key fob locks it but within seconds it's unlocked again.
When the year changed to 2022, the time display on the radio/navigation control unit changed to 1Jan 2002. Honda is aware of the problem, per phone conversation, however, they have never sent out a notification to owners. I believe this affects 2007-2012 Honda's.
I replaced my rear wheel hubs with new driveworks hub assemblys from advance auto parts. The car fell apart driving down the interstate. Both rear hubs snapped and my tires came off with half of the hub attached to the car and half attached to the tires. Pueblo Colorado police department responded and my case number is 21-018947.
Doors are not unlocking on my 2011 Honda CR-V. this is very dangerous. I parked the car overnight and the doors won't unlock. On further investigation, I saw that driver side door lock is stuck. It won't unlock with key fob nor with the key. Very very dangerous. Meaning, now I either I have to keep the windows down and fear the car being stolen or fear I won't be able to come out of the car in the event of an crash. I saw online that there are countless complaints about lock actuators being faulty but Honda still did not issue a recall.
2011 Honda CRV. The door lock actuator stopped working. I was not able to open the doors in manual with key or wirelessly ( remote). This is also a known problem with other CRV model years and a legal case was won in favor of consumers of certain model years to have it repaired by Honda free of charge.
No heat when vehicle is operational (stationary and in motion) and heating controls are engaged. Thought at first it was the authorized operator having an issue with it on 8/15/2020, but when the owner tried it on 9/8/2020, problem was confirmed.
