Oil consumption is exaggerated with to obvious observed signs, I.e, no visible leaks, no blue smoke from tailpipe, no smell behind vehicle. Oil needs to be added every ~70 miles as per the dipstick. Engine light will illuminate when oil too low. Car running fine otherwise. Is this happening to others? Respectfully, Careful Driver

I bought my car in 2021, and starting immediately I had issues with my tires going flat, my suspension jolting any time a bump was hit, my gear shift does not fully shift into park which makes it nearly impossible to get my key out of the ignition, I was given a spare key to someone else’s car and was never issued a new one, and dealership (CarMax) has not made an attempt to help with repair on current safety recall.

The oil consumption of this vehicle is extremely high and has progressively gotten worse to the point it has become undrivable. I have to put oil in every other day. It's completely not okay to make and sell faulty vehicles

I was driving down a road on the way to take my son to his swim team training. I got about f 5 min away from our home and I felt a large clunk, almost as if I ran something over that was large. I had difficulty steering my vehicle, had a loud weird noise coming from the vehicle, and pulled over. I inspected the vehicle outside, I hit nothing. wheels looked fine. I popped open the hood and started to inspect, it was getting dark so it was difficult to see. I found that the engine mount bolts had sheared clean off of the engine, causing the engine to drop, cracking the engine bracket and the engine almost falling out of the vehicle onto the ground. It it was not for the cross member below it may have completely fallen out.. the vehicle had to be towed as it was not drivable at this point. I had the vehicle towed to Schlossmanns Honda in Greenfield WI for repair. Currently my vehicle is at a Honda dealer being inspected for corrosion as I live in the rust belt and there is a recall for corrosion on this vehicle.

I was driving the vehicle on my town's streets around 35 MPH as usual when my vehicle's check engine light started flashing and I was unable to accelerate past 20 MPH. I immediately took the vehicle to the autozone in town and they stated it was an engine misfire. The vehicle was taken to the nearest car repair shop as a honda dealership was over 25 miles away and I was told that it was an engine misfire in cylinder 1. They are still trying to find out what caused the misfire. Why was crv's not included under the class lawsuit with honda?

Poor acceleration and pickup when applying gas. Worse in hotter weather. There is a honda service bulletin for thus problem on same year vehicle for computer firmware update to fix the problem, 10-077 tsb, but my local honda dealer refuses to do it. Says my VIN doesn't fall into it, even know the symptoms are exactly what it fixes. Frustrated. No pickup is really dangerous when trying to get on interstate and it is my daughter's car.

Interstate highway driving at highway speed 70mph up an incline or hilly area would cause the 2011 crv engine to hesitate accelerating, causing a high RPM rev but no speed increase, I.e. The engine would struggle to keep the same speed requiring the driver to drive at lower speeds like 60mph to avoid the excessive RPM. This potentially is a danger to other vehicles on the highway interstate. Honda is already aware of this and has issued a technical service bulletin #10-077 for dealers to update the PCM pgm-fi software to the latest version. However given 2011 vehicles are no longer in warranty, the owner is often forced to pay dealers 1 full hour of diagnostics fee instead of the 0.3 hour flat rate labor outlined in honda's tsb for in-warranty vehicles.

The vehicle has been running rough in the highway and rough when idling. We have chosen to keep it because we have trust in honda's reliability. Five days ago, the car was running and the whole family was in it. All of a sudden, its engine sounded like 'junk' which never happened before. We were all nervous and confused and we were about 20 miles away from home. Our safety in the car was uncertain and the roads going home had varying speeds between 30 to 65 mi/hr. We know today that the engine has severe problem due to high oil consumption which is extremely disappointing.
