2011 HONDA CR-V Complaints

INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 70MPH UP AN INCLINE OR HILLY AREA WOULD CAUSE THE 2011 CRV ENGINE TO HESITATE ACCELERATING, CAUSING A HIGH RPM REV BUT NO SPEED INCREASE, I.E. THE ENGINE WOULD STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE SAME SPEED REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO DRIVE AT LOWER SPEEDS LIKE 60MPH TO AVOID THE EXCESSIVE RPM. THIS POTENTIALLY IS A DANGER TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY INTERSTATE. HONDA IS ALREADY AWARE OF THIS AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #10-077 FOR DEALERS TO UPDATE THE PCM PGM-FI SOFTWARE TO THE LATEST VERSION. HOWEVER GIVEN 2011 VEHICLES ARE NO LONGER IN WARRANTY, THE OWNER IS OFTEN FORCED TO PAY DEALERS 1 FULL HOUR OF DIAGNOSTICS FEE INSTEAD OF THE 0.3 HOUR FLAT RATE LABOR OUTLINED IN HONDA'S TSB FOR IN-WARRANTY VEHICLES. *TR

EXCESSIVE CORROSION TO THE REAR FRAME AS I LIVE IN MA WITH HIGH SALT USAGE STATE. IN CANADA, TRANSPORT CANADA (EQUIVALENT TO US NHTSA) HAS ALREADY OPENED RECALL BULLETIN 20190250 AS DUE TO THIS EXCESSIVE REAR FRAME CORROSION COULD LEAD TO FRAME STIFFENER PERFORATION AND, IN EXTREME CASES, CAUSE THE REAR-TRAILING ARM TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE'S FRAME STRUCTURE. A SEPARATED REAR-TRAILING ARM MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. *TR

I HAVE A CRV THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2011. DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THAT I HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY I HAD TWO DOORS THAT I CANNOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR KEY, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR AND THE HATCH BACK DOOR. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $800 TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHAT IF ALL DOORS LOCK UP AND I CANNOT GET INTO MY CAR; WILL I HAVE TO PAY OVER $3000 TO GET INTO MY CAR? EVEN IF HAD EXTENDED INSURANCE WITH 3RD PARTIES, THIS IS NOT COVERED, I CHECKED. ISN'T THIS ON HONDA? *TR

I HIT BRAKES HARD DUE TO A HOLE IN THE HIGHWAY THAT WAS HARD TO SEE. THE BRAKES LOCKED DOWN AND THE CAR VIOLENTLY WENT SIDE TO SIDE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER-ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I FINALLY GOT IT TO GO RIGHT TO THE SHOULDER AND ONTO GRASSY AREA AND GOT IT TO STOP. AT THE TIME WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH-THE POSTED LIMIT. *TR

I VISITED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL WORK. THEY DID NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH IN THE HIGHWAY AND ROUGH WHEN IDLING. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TRUST IN HONDA'S RELIABILITY. FIVE DAYS AGO, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, ITS ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE 'JUNK' WHICH NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. WE WERE ALL NERVOUS AND CONFUSED AND WE WERE ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. OUR SAFETY IN THE CAR WAS UNCERTAIN AND THE ROADS GOING HOME HAD VARYING SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 TO 65 MI/HR. WE KNOW TODAY THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE PROBLEM DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

THE DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE 2011 HONDA CR-V WHEN HER VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR.THE DAUGHTER EXPERIENCED BACK STRAINS AND WHIP LASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE HOME ADDRESS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO OTHER PASSENGERS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CRASH OCCURRED OCTOBER 23, 2019.

DURING A FAIRLY LOW SPEED COLLISION (~25 - 30 MPH) THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT FULLY INFLATE. CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND TITLE WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

MY CAR LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE SO I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH AND EXIT THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN AFTER LOCKING FROM THE OUTSIDE, I COULD NOT UNLOCK MY CAR AGAIN ON ANY DOOR TO GET BACK IN. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR AND HAD I LOCKED THE DOORS AFTER I GOT OUT BEFORE GETTING HIM OUT, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO HIM.

1. AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED @ THE SAME TIME! WHEN TAKATA'S DANGEROUS AIRBAGS WERE DISCOVERED THEY BITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED & REPLACED IMMEDIATELY! INSTEAD MY FAMILY HAS BEEN @ RISK FOR FAR TOO LONG! I BOUGHT MY HONDA CRV EX-L BRAND NEW! I'VE BEEN DRIVING IN A DEATH TRAP EVER SINCE! WHY WAS HONDA NOT REQUIRED TO CHANGE BOTH AIRBAGS? 2. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE AC COMPRESSOR/CLUTCH'S THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN (FOR 10 YEARS) WERE DANGEROUSLY PLACED, CREATE MALFUNCTION OF COSTLY AC SYSTEMS, (CHILDREN DIE IN HOT CARS FAR TOO OFTEN) FROM HEAT STROKES, ETC. AS POSTED ON YOUR WEBSITE! THE AC/COMPRESSORS PICK UP HAZARDOUS MATERIALS/WASTE THAT IS THEN PUSHED THROUGHOUT THE AC UNIT! AIRPORT HONDA HAS HAD KNOWLEDGE BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED OF THIS PROBLEM IN CRV'S. THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS COSTLY ISSUE, NEGLECTED TO FIX IT, & IT DID MALFUNCTION. I PAID FOR COSTLY REPAIRS, & I PAID HONDA FOR A PLATINUM VEHICLE WARRANTY! I'M CONCERNED THAT NHTSA HAS NOT HELD HONDA RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS STATING IT'S NOT SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT VERY CLEARLY IS! AS A NURSE & PARENT I PUT MY CHILD IN A CARSEAT WHICH AUTOMATICALLY INCREASES HIS TEMPERATURE. THEN YOU ADD AC ISSUES IN TN RECORD HEAT & HUMIDITY (WHICH ALSO AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS) & IT'S A DEADLY COMBINATION! THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE,& IT IS NHTSA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CHOICES NOT INFORM THEIR CUSTOMERS & CONTINUE PUTTING THEM IN DANGER. TN IS KNOWN FOR BRUTAL HEAT, HUMIDITY, ASTHMA, & ALLERGENS! THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE MY PAPERWORK TO LEGITIMIZE MY CLAIM! INVESTIGATE THIS, MAKE HONDA NOTIFY CUSTOMERS! MOST PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THESE REPAIRS! WE HAVE HAD 90 DEGREE DAYS THIS OCTOBER, ,& MY CRV IS BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN! PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY & INVESTIGATE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE! OKEASE FORGIBE THE ALL CAPS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I EXPECT MORE FROM HONDA & MORE FROM YOU
