2010 Honda CR-V: check engine light

Filed Nov 15, 2025 · Airbags, Brakes · TX

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

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.

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.

Takata recall car is sputtering, and then stalling, alarm system goes off unexpectantly, check engine light and other lights go off - reads as misfire and has to deal with emisions system. Appears to happen in other model hondas and some type of switch. Dangerous if car stalls in traffic

There has been several stalled engine incidents while driving on a city street and also stationary at a red traffic light. No engine light has turned on leading to a wiring issue perhaps. Not so much a mechanical issue more so electrical of software related. It is unknown when the engine will turn off. There are two recall associated with stalled engine for honda cr-v 2010. There are the ignition circuit coupler failure (11v004000) and the automatic transmission control module software (11v395000) however my VIN is not apart of that recall. I am scared and fear for my life that this stalled engine issue will cause my car to get into an accident or even worst have someone else and I get killed.

I purchased this car on 3/26/10 based upon performance ratings boasted by honda. There have been manufacturers defects from the start. Currently about 118,000 miles. Early on I started hearing pinging sounds under the hood. Honda dealer said I was low on oil, put a quart in, and the sound stopped. He advised to put oil in whenever the sound occurred. This was before my first oil change. I continued to add oil as the sound re-occurred, 2-4 quarts between oil changes. I repeatedly questioned the consumption but no malfunction was found. July of 2011 honda acknowledged the problem with (tsb#11-033). In november 2011, the dealer did an oil consumption software update. At this time there was no recall. The continual cost for synthetic oil remained and the oil light never came on. An oil consumption recall issued in 2015. The car failed the oil test honda did required service as per recall protocol. The tech indicated the catalytic converter needs to be replaced but was out of warranty. Honda agreed to pay 50% of the cc repair. I declined since I have no money for this due to unemployment, nor should I put one cent into a car that has been defective from the start. My car was also recalled for takata airbags. Honda provided a rental car for 2.5 months. I picked up the car and now the engine light is on, brakes malfunctioning and compromised cc. It is not safe to drive. I have been driving a car with a substantial defect from the day one. I have spent countless dollars on oil. There have been two recalls. The car is no longer safe or dependable due to cc and brakes. I am concerned about engine longevity. I will never be able to drive this vehicle without being fearful. I feel it is honda's responsibility to make me whole and provide the type of vehicle I signed up for. Please advise next steps to bring about a resolution in the immediate future.

Cr-v 2010 excessive oil consumption. Bought the car new. My husband drives the car to work every day for an hour. We start hearing a cranking noise coming form the engine in the cold mornings. We follow recommendations on oil changes and use synthetic oil. I check the oil regularly and add some when it needs it. I was amaze at how much oil it burn. I have had problems with excessive oil use and check engine light on two (2) dealerships recommended to replace timing belt timing chain tension and cam shaft. 62,000 miles car was driving very bad so I did the repairs $ 1,212.40 . The dealership is telling me that's "normal". I have a mini van toyota with 273,000 miles never chance the timing belt/chain still running. Honda of america saying that burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles is normal. That is unethical. I have done the 1,000 mile oil consumption tests when I went to the dealership and they said that my crv can burn up to a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and is nothing that they can help me. Now the car start smelling oil and gas when I check the oil level. They send a letter but honda is not willing to do the repairs.

The engine light comes on all the time and the dealer just says to unscrew and re tighten the fuel cap. Sometimes this fixes and sometimes it doesn't.

The 2010 honda cr-v was not driving properly, felt like the transmission was slipping/shaky. The oil light came on, so I took it to the dealer (less than 70,000 miles). It was almost out of oil, even though I had been properly maintaining service since buying the vehicle new in april, 2010. The honda dealer serviced the car. I went back shortly after service because we checked the oil and it was low again. They started 'oil consumption' tests. It was down a bit every 1,000 miles but they kept saying it was in the 'normal' range and that it is not unusual to need to add oil between oil changes (I have owned cars for 30+ years and this is the first car that ever need additional oil between changes). I kept taking it in for consumption issues. They would check the oil, top it off, and tell me it was 'normal'. The service person said the service manager presented it to the regional honda service, but they said it was 'normal' too. I started topping off the oil myself as the dealership is a bit of a drive and I wasn't getting anywhere with the complaints. At 86,000 miles, the check engine light came on. I took it to an acura dealership. They serviced the car and reset it. Light came on again 3 weeks later. It needs a new catalytic converter @$1,100. Bought honda care extended warranty at dealer with car, but it doesn't cover the part. Honda is telling me the car is out of warranty and the honda care warranty is not a honda warranty, but 3rd party and they don't control it. I'm out $2,300 for the useless warranty and appealing to honda to replace the catalytic converter. I strongly believe there is a connection between the oil consumption (which the honda dealer said is not a problem with cr-vs) and the need for a new catalytic converter at 86,000 miles.
