2012 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I had one tire on this vehicle which had 3 times where the tire became flat. The first two flats were fixed and then when the third flat happen, the dealer said the tire could no longer be fixed. These tires were purchased at Costco. I have never had a tire have more than one flat.

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 PAINT ON THE HOOD AND UPPER ROOF FADED VERY VERY QUICKLY. THERE ARE SPOTS THAT CANNOT BE BUFFED OUT. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I'VE HAD HONDAS BEFORE. THIS IS BLACK PAINT AND HAVE HEARD 2012 AND 2013 WAS A VERY BAD YEAR FOR BLACK PAINT ON HONDAS THIS IS A 2012 CRV. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS I WAX THEM AND CLEAN THEM REGULARLY THIS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CAR IS WORKING WONDERFULLY NO PROBLEMS.

GRINDING NOISE AT STARTUP. TOLD WAS VCT ISSUE BUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR SAME ISSUE ON INTERNET.

ADVISED 2 CHANGE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID (57,000 MI) CHARGED TO CHANGE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, BUT THERE IS A JUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING IN LOW GEARS. IT STOPS WHEN EASING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THERE WOULD BE NO ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000.

WAS DRIVING AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT THEN CAME BACK ON. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GO INTO A DITCH AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. BARELY EVEN TURNED THE WHEEL.

THE HEATER ON MY 2012 HONDA CRV HAS COLD AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND HOT AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE.THE DRIVER SIDE DEFROST, SIDE VENT AND HEAT ALL COLD. I PURCHASE THE CAR NEW AND HAS NEVER REALLY NEEDED TO USE THE HEATER. THE FEW TIMES I TURNED THE HEATER ON I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST TAKING A LONG TIME TO GET WARM AND JUST TURNED IT OFF BECAUSE THE COLD AIR BLOWING WAS WORST THAN TURNING IT OFF, AND MOST TIMES WAS ONLY GOING A SHORT DISTANCE. I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL MUCH LATER THAT IT WAS GETTING HOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. I LIVE WHERE IT WARM MOST OF THE YEAR AND RARELY NEED TO USE THE HEATER, NOT UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN I TURNED IT ON AND REALIZED IT WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE HONDA CRV FROM 2012 ON TO NEWER MODELS. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THE HONDA CRV? THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIRS, THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS A PROBLEM. IF A CONSUMER DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY FROM A WARM AREA TO A COLD AREA NOT KNOWING THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN DANGER, ESPECIALLY IF SMALL CHILDREN OR AN ELDERLY PERSON OR PERSONS ARE IN THE CAR. THE DEALER OR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA IS NOT GOING TO TELL CUSTOMERS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR YEARS. THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR DONE UNTIL NHTSA DOES IT JOB TO CONTACT OWNERS OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OR REQUIRE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS REPORT ALL THE REPAIRS THEY HAVE DONE ON THE HEATER BECAUSE OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM STARTING WITH HONDA CRV 2012 THROUGH HONDA 2020. THIS IS THE LEAST THAT NHTSA SHOULD DO. CONSUMERS THAT PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND TRUSTED HONDA TO DO THE RIGHT THING NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW, NOT 10 YEARS FROM NOW.
