SUDDEN ACCELERATION, while foot on the brake. This caused us to have an accident hitting cemented poles in front of a store. Our CRV was badly smashed in the front, making it undriveable. There was three of in the vehicle getting jolted and jerked. I believe this problem needs to be looked into, before someone else is hurt.

Our vehicle started to jerk whenever it is at low gear. The check engine light goes on and off. The traction control light goes on and off. And an error code came up: p060a. The vehicle has stalled 2x after moderately jerking multiple times while driving @ 50m/hr. The air conditioning blows hot air after a few minutes of it running. We have checked recalls for the particular make, model and year and it is showing the classic vehicle recalls from Honda. Unfortunately, our VIN number shows that it was not part of the recalled vehicle. We have gone through Honda hoping that they could at least do a diagnostic run and verify if it is a possible recall issue, but they will only do it if we pay for everything. Please help.

Car stalled, began to smoke while traveling at a low rate of speed on residential street. Found it had no oil. No warning light indicated oil was low. Bought it used two weeks earlier and seller said oil had been recently changed. Passenger-side door locks began locking and unlocking randomly while in motion. No inspection. The A/C compressor stopped working mid-summer. Mechanic inspected, repaired. No longer in possession of this vehicle.

When I started driving the vehicle in 2021, I noticed it had a weak power and it was shaking. I purchased a set of four new coils, and spark plugs at the suggestion of a mechanic. I have had to change coil number 3 -three times since then and less than 3000 miles driving. This has to be a magnufacturing issue. I need someone to look at this issue to see why it is giving me so much problems.

Sudden and unexpected engine failure due to (also) sudden oil over-consumption (beginning only weeks prior), documented by Honda in Bulletin 12-089. Total engine failure resulted. Trauma surgeon almost killed in accident (only saved because he knows how to handle a dead engine mid-traffic). Honda has noted that the Bulletin covered only up to 125K miles or 8 years. We were at 114K miles, but Honda has refused to further investigate--despite this sudden and catastrophic failure--because the car is greater than 8 years old. It is my husband's professional opinion that the car/engine be recalled, and that the Bulletin should in fact be a recall.

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 the federal safety agency complaint No. 10056005

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.

The warranty extension that was extended for "sticking piston rings resulting in high oil consumption" was not a problem yet during the 125,000 mile mark. A few months later our 2010 honda crv started needing much more oil. Ever since we've needed to add oil at every fuel tank fill up. Please push honda to extend the warranty to take care of its customers. Our crv now has just over 180,000 miles. Thanks for your time with this.

Bought from honda dealer and it burns 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. This is a known issues service bulletin 12-089. I have done an oil consumption test with them and they agree that is the problem but will not correct. I feel they mislead me during the purchase and the dealer should have informed me that there was issues with the crv oil consumption. Now they want me to pay $3000 to to correct the know issue. Honda USA refuses to correct also. This should have been a recall.
