Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Upon light acceleration on a city street my car vibrates quite strongly and feels as though the car is going to stall. This issue seems to only happen at low speeds (10-35mph). I have contacted the local honda dealer with my VIN# and they deny any issue with the vehicle. After further investigation I have found numerous reports online about this very same issue and how honda is unwilling to address or fix the issue. I hope honda issue a recall soon because this amount of vibration makes me feel as if there is a lot of mechanical wear happening with every acceleration and that the car could fail at any moment.
My 2013 cr-v car has stalled from the first day I drove it out of the lot. When on cruise control and climbing a hill it stalls by 10 miles or more.
My honda cr-v 2013 VIN [xxx] is also stalling when on cruise control and going uphill. When I type my VIN and car model it shows no recall. I am having the same stalling issues as the other cars, why is my VIN not being recalled so it can be fixed. My cell phone [xxx]. I have filed many complaints on the same problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After I bought the car two weeks later when the car is on cruise control going uphill the car rolls back by at least 10 miles and pick up again and stalls again. When I asked the dealer what was the problem, the dealer stated it was nor mal for the car to stall. I never accepted that explanation, the car needs top be recalled along with the other cars. This is my third complaint and nothing has been done.
I noticed that honda crv are being recalled. My VIN number was not included in the recall. When I bought the vehicle, the first day I drove it was stalling when I asked the dealer he says that was normal, stalling was ok. The other problem I have is the passenger airbag. It does not tell you when it is on, it is always off and you never know when it is on.
Cr-v stalls when for 3-5 seconds when completing corners. Appears transmission is searching for gears. Dangerous when trying to merge on to traffic. Honda dealer and regional rep aare aware of problem, but refuse to fix.vehicle is still under warranty.
At a 10 MPH coast I start to accelerate slowly and the engine feels like it will stall. The car does not accelerate, the RPM does not change with movement of the accelerator pedal. I have to rock the pedal two to three times to get the engine to respond and accelerate with the traffic. This is a continuing problem that the dealer on 2 occasions has been unable to detect and correct I have come close to being hit from the rear twice. The honda dealer's explanation is the transmission is waiting for the computer to tell it to " up or downshift. " if that were the case, the RPM would change when the accelerator pedal is pressed . .
I bought the car from tony honda brand new, from the time I started driving the car, the speed control would stall. If I was driving for example at 60 MPH once I get to a hill, the speed control would stall, go 50 and pick up again. Stalling is a dangerous situation in high traffic and high speed. I pointed out to the dealer that this was a dangerous situation, he stated there was nothing he could do; it was normal for honda crv-ex to stall. I disagreed.
With no previous symptoms or problems, yesterday backing our of parking stall I could not turn steering wheel; dash power steering warning light was on. Turned off and restarted car but light stayed on. Called service mgr at dealership I bought it from who said to bring it in. At dealership took picture of dash light and had svc mgr confirm the light was, in fact, on. Left overnight for service. Today, service mgr and tech said light did not come on and steering was normal when started this am. Tech noted a slight drop in voltage but still waiting for diagnosis. Luckily I was parked when the problem occurred, but his is a very serious health and safety issue that could have disastrous result should it recur in fast moving traffic. Honda needs to find a permanent fix for this immediately.
