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.
I have been having random incidents since I got the car a little over a year ago where the gas pedal has accelerator issues. Usually from either a stop or slow moving, I accelerate and there is nothing for a few seconds, a hesitation, when stepping on the gas pedal. I have almost been rear ended numerous times, and have also almost had accidents while trying to turn across traffic and losing acceleration with no warning. I have had the car into service and am told they can't duplicate the problem so can't fix it. I am seriously concerned driving this car as it keeps happening and there is no explanation how to fix the problem. Someone I work with has the same car but a 2013 and is having the same problem.
The contact owns a 2012 Honda CRV. The contact stated that the engine failed to start. The failure was experienced numerous times and was taken to the dealer numerous times. The dealer performed several diagnostics, which located failure codes with the ground wire, battery, lift gate power assembly, and the computer software. The dealer replaced the affected parts and updated the computer software but the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165 and the approximate current mileage was 27,000.
Bought this car new about a month ago. The only problem I have been having is that at certain times, usually at slower speeds, when I step on the gas there is a 2-3 second delay before the car accelerates. During this hesitation period, the engine does not rev, and the car just coasts. This has happened 10-12 time this past month. This is very dangerous when I am trying to merge into faster moving traffic. I took my car to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the condition nor find anything wrong. They told me they reported the issue to Honda national.
The contact owns a 2012 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and restarted the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the mechanic advised that the failure was unable to be detected. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 11,000.
In stop and go traffic, with and without the econ button on, the car hesitates to accelerate to the point that it has nearly caused accidents. Took it to Honda and asked them to drive to witness the problem. I don't think they drove it. The problem is somewhat intermittent, so you never know when it will happen. You have to adjust your driving just in case it might happen. The dealer told me not to drive with econ button in city driving conditions. That doesn't make a difference. It will cause accident eventually.
