2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

SEATS HAVE SEVERE VIBRATION AT IDLE. MOST PRONOUNCED AFTER WARMING UP, OR, HIGHWAY DRIVE. (THAT'S WHY TEST DRIVES DON'T SHOW IT!). ALSO, DOOR ARMRESTS VIBRATE. MOST INTOLERABLE; MAKES ONE NAUSEATED. ALSO, GAS MIXED IN WITH OIL! GAS FUME SMELLS NOTED IN CABIN WHILE DRIVING.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR THE PAST YEAR, THIS CAR HAS STALLED WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. YOU PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR "CHUGS," AND EITHER SLOWS DOWN AND HAS TO CATCH UP TO ITSELF, OR IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AT STOP SIGNS, AND INTERSECTIONS. WE'VE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. IT EVEN STALLED ON THEIR TECH ONCE, BUT THEY STILL COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE BATTERY, SO WE DID, AND NOTHING CHANGED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND NOBODY AT THE DEALERSHIP OR THE CORPORATE OFFICE DID ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY.

CAR ENGINE **UNDER WARRANTY** IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL WHICH CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. [WARRANTY: 5 YR/60K MILES; HAVE OWNED JUST OVER 3 YRS W/ 38K MILES] 1) HAVING WORKED ON MY OWN CARS 30+ YEARS I NOTED IT WAS BURNING FAR TOO MUCH OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR 'ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST' 6/29/19; DEALER DENIED CAR HAD BURNED ANY OIL DESPITE STICK SHOWING ENGINE HAD IN FACT BURNED OIL DURING DURATION OF TEST. 2) SENT EMAIL TO HONDA REPORTING THIS ISSUE ('HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE # 09925699 DATED 10/3/19'). HONDA REPLIED THAT I SHOULD TALK TO THE VERY SAME SERVICE MANAGER WHO DENIED THE ENGINE WAS BURNING ANY OIL LET ALONE EXCESSIVE OIL; IN THE ALTERNATIVE THEY SUGGESTED GOING TO 'ANOTHER CERTIFIED HONDA DEALERSHIP'. SINCE THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED THE DEFECT & INTERNAL DAMAGE IS ONGOING. I AM CONCERNED THAT DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT APPROPRIATE REPAIR IS DANGEROUS. A SIMPLE 'GOOGLE SEARCH' REVEALS MINE IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE IN THIS MODEL YEAR WITH THIS ISSUE. I NOTE THAT FOR PRIOR MODEL YEARS HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT & AT LEAST EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OR EFFECTED REPAIRS. (SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 12-089) CONSUMER REPORTS SAYS 'IT'S NORMAL FOR CARS TO BURN A LITTLE OIL AS THEY AGE TOWARD 100,000 MILES AND BEYOND. BUT CONSUMER REPORTS BELIEVES THAT FOR AN ALMOST NEW CAR TO BURN THAT EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL IS UNACCEPTABLE.' ('EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISN'T NORMAL: AUTOMAKERS SAY ADDING OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED CHANGES IS ACCEPTABLE. IT'S NOT.' CONSUMER REPORTS 6/30/15 HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/MAGAZINE/2015/06/EXCESSIVE-OIL-CONSUMPTION/INDEX.HTM)

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A FAST RATE OF SPEED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAD BRUISING.

FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A YEAR MY CAR BATTERY WAS DRAINED AFTER PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR THE WEEKEND. VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU HAVE A NEW VEHICLE THAT IS NOT DEPENDABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS FINE. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I SEE THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, I GUESS MORE PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE THEY ARE FORCED TO OFFER A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA!

MY CRV HAS A DRAINED BATTERY 3 TIMES IN A YEAR, AFTER PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR AS LITTLE AS TWO DAYS. VERY UNDENIABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I CHARGED IT OVER NIGHT, TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS FINE!
