Wheels are significantly misaligned causing tire wear and vibration while driving. Rear struts need to be replaced and are not functioning properly. Rear control arm needs to be replaced with adjustable control arm to achieve proper alignment. Wheel alignment is more that 2 degrees off with normal vehicle usage.

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.

The oil consumption of this vehicle is extremely high and has progressively gotten worse to the point it has become undrivable. I have to put oil in every other day. It's completely not okay to make and sell faulty vehicles

I was sent a recall notice fora SAFETY DEFECT that the rear frame that can deteriorate and trailing arm can fall off. I called the Honda of ILLINOIS dealer In Springfield Illinois to schedule an appointment for the recall and was told I would be put on a Waiting list and they only schedule 2 of these recalls per week. This vehicle is the only mode of transportation, and is driven on the highway to and from a nearby city 40 minutes away on a daily basis. There are children being transported in this vehicle and I am concerned for their safety. I called as soon as I received the recall notice in May and have yet to hear back from them as to when It can be repaired. This is a safety issue and I feel needs addressed . (update) they returned the call as I was typing this note and they tell me "there is quite a few people ahead of me that have this recall" This is unacceptable to have to wait over 60 days for a recall repair that is a safety issue!
