Got this vehicle about a year and a half ago at full price from local dealership. It looks like it has been pieced together with many other hondas. The check engine light has been on ever since. The car keeps yet no camera. Just tried to get inspected. So far charged 2500 but was given a pass on inspection only for the light to come back on. I noticed on the back of repair paperwork this car has 2 airbag recalls. I feel duped I feel like this is attempted murder. I feel scared and sad. Something must be done with used car purchases

I was turning into a parking space at my office, speed < 5mph, applied the brakes to make the turn. There were construction workers at the site, speed bumps and children coming and going. I was very attentive to all these circumstances as I turned into the spot. Suddenly there was an unexpected acceleration of the car with no ability to brake the vehicle, which did not stop until it hit a brick wall that was directly in front of the car, perhaps just 8-10 feet away. When the first attempt to brake did not work, I hit the brake a second time. Still nothing. After I hit the wall, a contraction worker who saw the entire thing came over to check on me. (I did have a seatbelt on, and the airbag did not deploy.) I felt like I was okay, but was shook up and confused. I told him what happened. He stated that he could smell the brakes, which were so hot from trying to stop the car. Substantial front end damage was incurred, and the car was towed to a body shop. Assessment there showed that there were no problems with the brake itself and there was plenty of brake fluid in the reservoir. I believe this is another incident, like others have reported, where the car accelerates as the brakes are tapped. I consider this car to be dangerous at this point, and I am waiting for the insurance company to determine if they will total it. I have not had this problem before, but have had a few times when there was a lag in the acceleration. I haven't talked to honda yet, but I will do so this weekend.

The vehicle was purchased new honda cr-v 2010 and has been services throught same place purchased since day one. The complaint of a "metal noise" dropping when reversing. I have replaced the tires, brakes, calipers, drums and rotars as they siezed, wore unevenly and "oxidized(?). I have been told the tires have an impression on them as the vehicle must have been not used for a period of time. The care is used daily. Some excused provided have been amazing. Main point is that the transmission/metal noise continued while I drove the car or when my cousin was going to use it (but declined when he heard the noise) when the care goes in for servicing "noise could not be duplicated" I would leave and get home unstatisfied and due to responsibilities in life make it difficult to just go right back out to resolve the issue. It got to the point that I would take the vehicle out for test ride. Finally when I duplicated the noise. Repeatedly/annually complained and was not found until having the vehicle for over a month (gsh did provide loaner) I have returned to the service center since the car has been there, but continued to leave my car there. Now they want me to pay the deductible ($100) an additional fee for new transmission of $1510.00. This is a problem I had documented on every service since I purchased the vehicle.. When in reverse and proceed to reverse the metalic noise drops but the car still goes in motion. There were two times it did it in drive. Every service visit was routine and sceduled; recommended services were done on the spot, not when I would return for next oil change.. I am just disheartened and saddened that they have taken advantage of this female customer.... I have been made to feel that this would not have happen to a male customer.

I purchased and always serviced my 2010 cr-v with garden state honda and they have service documentation from as early as november 2010 regarding a complainants a metal noise 'dropping' in through under my vehicle purchased in 2010 as early as nov 2010 and continuing every year to follow up to this present date. Now it has been 'discovered' to be an internal issue with the transmission. I am starting to take it personally that being a woman I know nothing about cars and that any funny noise is just something a woman would say. However, it is a fact that there have been several issues not address with my car until the warrantee ended and the extended warrantee is also coming to a close. Over my ownership of this vehicle, other complainants mentioned I have made prior to the five year warrantee were not detected, but now have surfaced after the warrantee ended. I purchased the 2010 crv with the agreement of making bi-weekly payments and having the warrantee extended. My most recent service; complainant of noises seemed that has gone unfounded or could not reproduce the noise/problem was finally found after I return to retrieve my vehicle for a third time and after paying a service bill of nearly $700.00 on the first return. After taking it on a road test, the problem existed and my car now pulled to the right. The car remained and when I returned to get my vehicle as no issue could be found and they 'gave me a free alignment'. Technician,'izzy' and myself did road test & duplicated the noise again (existing since 2010)' duplicating it mulitiple times; now find out an internal issue with the transmission exists. Previously, honda of white plains did oil change & said to return to gsh as rear brakes were seizing. That was fixed after two service trips to gsh. Mr. Timothy mahon (rip) heard it but I guess dead men can tell no tales.
