2007 crv purchased new. 198,000. Car has been failing to furn over intermittently for a couple of months on first try. All lights on dashboard light up, but only a low wurring noise. Turn key back, wait a second or two and it starts right up. Today, when I started the car the check engine light was on. After driving for about 3 - 4 miles, both the vsa light and the trangle light came on and the car started bucking and driving very roughly. Conituned until I could safely pull over. Turned car off and then back on. The vsa nad triangle lights went off and the car returned to driving normally for the remainder of my commute (~8 miles). Parked car for 10 hours. When starting again, the exact same scenario occured except the vsa and triangle lights came on after about 2/10's of a mile. Pulled over and shut the car off and only the check engine light remained on and driving returned to normal. Upon arriving home, I started to research these issues and stumbled upon some posts regarding possible recalls and/or technical service bulletin's regarding faulty ignition switches and a correlation between the starting issues, the dashlights and the bucking and rough driving I had encountered.

Driving at 60 miles per hour on the highway when the vsa and other dash lights came on, the vehicle semi-stalled out, and cruise control went out. It self corrected and I kept on going. This happened 3-4 times during a 60 mile drive. Then just the check engine light came on - I drove home without incident. Today my mechanic hooked it up to a computer and it is a PCM problem. There was a recall on 2007 cr-v's for a TCM/PCM problem in 2011 but according to american honda it is "VIN specific" and my VIN doesn't have this recall problem. But my car has this problem, it sounds serious, and now I must pay to have it fixed :( I won't ever buy another honda!

I purchased a 2007 honda crv in sept 2011 and recently the car failed and began to lose power randomly. A few days ago the engine light came on and the vsa light as well. When you hit 20 MPH 40 MPH etc the vehicle stalls and jerks. I attempted to fix the problem looking at the owners manual but I couldn't find or do anything on my own to fix it. I took it to the honda dealer in orlando where I purchased it from and they want to charge me just to check it. I feel this is a safety issue. I've also noticed many postings about this malfunction on different web sites. It sounds to me as a recall and a manufactures responsibility.
