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.
While going over speed bump, left Rear trailing arm broke off. Large amount of rust was noted to frame. Our CRV had to be towed to our local Honda dealer. There is a current recall for this same issue on vehicle years 2007-2011 but none to cover our 2012 CRV.
On April 25, 2021 I was gently pulling into my driveway and I applied the brakes and the car accelerated. I continue to apply the brake and the car would not stop. I crashed into my front porch. The front wheels went over the edge of the porch and the car stopped. There is about a 7 foot drop off, thankfully the whole car didn't go off the porch. I knocked all the supports for the porch and the roof was on the top of my car. I do believe if I were pressing the accelerator by mistake the car would've continued off the porch. Bought the car in December 2020 only had it six months. I was certain I had stepped on the brakes so I googled and found other people with 2012S in 2011's had experienced this problem. I have no police report but the police did come out because one of the neighbors had called them. They may have an incident report. Thankfully the car stopped before went off the porch or I could have been severely hurt.
The 2012 Honda CRV has started to vibrate in the front end. I have had the wheel bearings and tires checked. Nothing is reported found as an issue. It starts to vibrate at random speeds and when you take your foot off the gas it stops. Only then can you re-engage the gas pedal. I am concerned with my safety because of this.
Driver reported hearing loud pop from right side (assumed to be front tire blowout). She described steering locked up and was unable to turn wheel. Lost control of vehicle on a curving 2 lane road. She describes braking was ineffective, and her vehicle right front corner hit a vehicle in opposite lane, both vehicles spun 180 and CRV ended up upright in a ditch off the road. Right front wheel and suspension was completely disconnected from vehicle. Rear right wheel broke from suspension. Car airbags deployed properly, and driver was just bruised and scraped up. This vehicle has had 2 issues with TPMS (tire-pressure monitor system). Vehicle was returned to dealer for service after two days after purchase when TPMS indicator came on 10 minutes away from dealership after purchase (service dept was closed the next day). Second time was 3 days after service, technician reported that "previous tech didn't adjust the spare tire TPMS. That's what caused the errors". months later tires appeared to be low, but TPMS system didn't indicate anything, driver wondered if the service techs disabled the TPMS system completely? car was at dealer Jan 12, 2013 for door lock recall. Described TPMS issues to tech, nothing reported. Car was due to go back to shop a month or two after the accident for 1 year check-up. Driver states she will not buy another Honda.. this one just had too many problems from the start.
