    2010 Honda CR-V. Based on a HONDA dealer report and diagnosed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 27, 2022. The A/C compressor, coil and A/C system clutch burned out during a trip through high dessert on Interstate 15 north from California to a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. Temperature 107 degrees, heavy raining and in the middle of flash warning storm. According with Mechanic and HONDA Service advisors at Nevada's HONDA dealership, the A/C compressor's friction also, most likely rested engine power and proper performance to engine water pump and engine alternator. During this incident, we (My spouse and I) were so concerned of vehicle total engine failure and monitored engine temperature constantly, during remaining part of the trip. We continued traveling at reduced speed at approximately 40 miles per hour due to heavy rain and high altitude. We were forced to stop and reduce the speed to 15 miles per hour due to lack of visibility and poor engine performance and lack of power. The A/C compressor and A/C clutch burned-out completed, and A/ C ceased to fully operate. Cost of repair is estimated at $2,934.55 This incident has similar conditions and A/C system failure, as previously reported in NHTSA complaint No. 10056005

    The passenger side door lock is not unlocking. I need to click the locking (inside the car) and hold it unlock. When I put on park, the door will not unlock. When I use my key to unlock the doors, the passenger side lock does not unlock. I have no option to leave the passenger side door locked and unable to used that door. It is a big safety issue. This issues need to be fixed by the manufacturer.

    Air bag warning light had randomly come on/off 3-4 × for only a few hours since last airbag recall in 2018. Was so random and brief never gave it much thought. But it came on early July 2022 and stayed on. Took it in to Honda dealer Thurs July 14 for diagnostic check. Was told there was a defect in the passenger side/seat airbag and this was not a recall and would cost approx $900 to replace. Part on back order. Honda service rep stated that when the warning light is on none of the airbags are functional. I Did not order part on the 14th d/t considered buying another car which I quickly decided against. After picking up my car after hours on the 14th I notice the warning light is no longer on. After playing phone tag w/ dealer on Fri and Mon July 15,18 I drive to the dealership on 7-19 to order the part and to get answers on the warning light to no avail. I then call corporate Honda to make a claim asking to investigate this non wear and tear airbag defect. And after 2-3 weeks was told it is not a covered item. The rep also said that if the warning light was reset on the 14th it would come back on as soon as it detects the defect. Still Noone can determine whether or not I have any airbag protection. So I reach out here to request a safety investigation on this seemingly random NON WEAR / TEAR airbag defect. I feel there is a trend as there have already been 2 airbag recalls on my car. I feel this is a HUGE safety issue. Esp since I may or may not have full airbag protection on all the other airbags. The Honda dealer I originally took my car to has not returned any of my 3 calls I have made. (7-21,27,8-4) so I have made another appointment Aug 25 at another Honda dealer to run another diagnostic test to see if an airbag defect is detected; to decipher the light situation if I have airbag coverage or did the warning light bulb burn out? Please consider this a safety defect issue and assist me to get Honda to cover the cost.

    My car has been stalling sporadically. I took it to a shop for a diagnostic and it showed PCM malfunction. This has been recalled on some 2010 CRVs why is mine not included?

    One month ago, car locks would randomly lock and unlock while driving. Now the Driver side front door lock actuator stopped working. I cannot open door manually from the inside or unlock the door with the key from the outside. Now I can only exit the car by the passenger door and leave the car unlocked otherwise I can't get in if it's locked.

    The passenger side door lock is not locking. I need to click the locking (inside the car) multiple times to lock. When I put on park, the door unlocks. When I use my key to lock the doors, the passenger side lock does not lock. I have no option to leave the passenger side door locked when I am outside the car. It is a big safety issue. This issues need to be fixed by the manufacturer.

    Door lock and trunk lock actuator have both failed. The FOB does not unlock door or trunk. You also cannot unlock either from inside the vehicle.

    MY CRV was at 127,829 miles I took it in to the dealership and told the service advisor the CRV was making a clicking sound CRV was slow to accelerate on entrance to a highway the engine light would come on at a stop light momentarily the CRV dashboard read 70 percent used oil. The dealership said the CRV was down 2 quarts of oil and did an oil change. The last oil change was done at 125,474 miles the CRV was not making any noise after that oil change. The car is definitely burning oil because it had only been 2355 miles since the last oil change was done.

    I put my car in Drive after I got the green light to exit the car wash and the car surged forward and continued accelerating, knocking over several installations and going over a median separating the car wash from the roadway. The car ended up on the roadway, finally slowed down by multiple collisions and I was able to get control of it and get it parked and wait for the police to come. By some miracle, no-one was hurt, but the car was completely out of control. It just wouldn't stop or slow down. It was the most bizarre experience I have ever had and I fear it will not or cannot be investigated. I have informed my insurance company and my hope is that they can find something showing that the car malfunctioned.

    I OWN A 2010 HONDA CRV EX. The rear sub frame that carries the axle and suspension on the left side broke while making a left- hand turn from a restaurant. The sub frame that attaches to the unibody had rusted and the bolt connecting the suspension had pulled the frame section out. The car was inspected by my insurance company AARP Hartford and denied payment. They considered this a mechanical issue. The suv was towed to Honda North in Butler PA where we bought the vehicle new for inspection. They also said it was a rust issue one of which the service manager has never seen in 30 some years working at Honda. He referred it to the area manager who said the same. They too would not repair or offer compensation monies. I found there is a recall in Canada for the same problem. The vehicle has always been garage kept in a heated area. There is no rust on the rest of the body. I was lucky that we were only going about 10MPH when this incident happened in Franklin PA. Two days prior we were driving on 79 South heading to Pittsburgh PA and going 65/70 MPH. Thank God it did not happen then. We do not have any repair estimates from the Honda North people, they simply said it was not something they would repair. I am still waiting for documentation from our Hartford Insurance claim.
