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.

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.

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. *TR
