2011 Honda CR-V

I WAS POSITIONED AT AN INTERSECTION, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE ONE I HAD, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC DIDN'T CONCERN ME THAT MUCH. WELL, IT DOES NOW. IT WENT JUST ENOUGH INTO THE INTERSECTION TO GET ME INTO A NEAR CRASH SITUATION. IT JUST TOTALLY BOGGED DOWN. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MAYBE? I HAVE TALKED TO FOUR PEOPLE WITH 2010 AND 2011 CRV'S AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING. I LOVE THIS CAR, BUT THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THIS. THIS IS A REAL DOWNER FOR ME IN RELATION TO THIS CAR. HELP US HONDA. *TR

WITH 28,000 MILES NOW ON OUR 2011 CRV THAT WE BOUGHT NEW ALL 4 TIRES WERE WORN OUT WITH 13,550 MILES ON THEM,AND HAD ALWAYS HAD A VERY SLIGHT FRONT END BUMP. AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES THE BUMP WAS SO BAD WE WENT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE TIRE DEALER AND TIRE PRESSURE AND BALANCE WAS RECHECKED AND WAS FINE THE TIRES ARE FIRESTONE. AT 100 MILES ON THE TIRES WE WENT BACK AND HAD THE TIRES RECHECKED AND ROTATED WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE BUMP. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP COULD ONLY SAY THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE A VERY SOFT COMPOUND AS THE NEW ONES ARE A BETTER TIRE AND DOES NOT RIDE AS SOFT. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE CHANGED OWNERS AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF THEM CHECKING THE CAR. HE CRV EXL NOW HAS 25000 MILES AND TIRES ARE WEARING GREAT BUT STILL HAVE THE BUMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL 4X4 TIRES, SIZE: 225 65 R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES BECAME WORN PREMATURELY AT 20,000 MILES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 10/15/12 *CN UPDATED 10/23/2012 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT TRAVELING 2 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT LIGHT POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,417 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,427.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE IN A CROWDED MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WHEN MY 2011 HONDA CR-V ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED INTO THE CEMENT POLE BEHIND ME. CONFUSED, I PUT THE CAR IN 'DRIVE' TO PULL MYSELF AWAY FROM THE POLE, WHEN THE CAR ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED FORWARD TOWARD THE SPOT I WAS ORIGINAL IN HITTING AND CONTINUALLY PUSHING A PARKED MINI-VAN, WHICH IN TURN PUSHED AND KEPT PUSHING THE PARKED CAR NEXT TO IT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND ONCE AGAIN WENT IN REVERSE, CRASHING INTO THE SAME CEMENT POLE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I BORE DOWN ON THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN 'PARK". IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS ALL OCCURRED IN SECONDS AND WAS TERRIFYING...I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITNESSES IN THE MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WERE STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS HEARING THE LOUD ROAR OF THE ENGINE. *TR

MY CAR WAS 10 DAYS OLD AND THE BUMPER STARTED PEELING. TOOK ME A LOT OF JUMPING HOOPS, PHONE CALLS, LETTERS, AND DAYS OFF WORK TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT WAS REALLY A NIGHTMARE. 6 MONTHS LATER 6/22/2012 THE REAR BUMPER STARTED PEELING. THEY FIXED IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS . LESS THAN ANOTHER MONTH NOW IT IS PEELING AT THE LIFT GATE UNDER THE HANDLE TO OPEN AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT AND SEE WHAT IT IS DOING THEN SEE IF THEY APPROVE IT AND BACK TO JUMPING HOOPS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 9 MONTHS OLD. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PAINT ON THESE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PAINT DOESN'T STICK WELL TO PLASTIC BUT I HAVE LOTS OF DINGS I HAVE HAD TO FILL IT CHIPS VERY EASILY ALSO. I HAVE A TOYOTA WITH ALMOST 300K THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE LOOKS OF MY NEW CAR THAT STAYS PARKED DUE TO ME BEING SCARED TO DRIVE B/C IT MIGHT PEEL OR CHIP. THIS IS NUTS. I WANT IT FIXED AND OR TRADED AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH THIS IS RIDICULOUS WITH A NEW CAR TO HAVE TO LOSE PAY TO GO 150 MILES TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT THEN SCHEDULE THE APPT 150 MILES AND THEN 150 MILES TO GET IT, BUT ALSO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK FOR BOTH. IT IS LOSS OF PAY, COST OF GAS, TIME AND IS GETTING REALLY TIRING! *TR

OUR WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM TRAVELS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT REMOVING RAIN FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE AIR PASSING OVER AND AROUND THE WINDSHIELD ARM AS IT RETURNS, THE WIPER PULLS THE RAIN BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. IT APPEARS THAT THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD ARM AND BLADE CAUSES A VACUUM THAT PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. HERE IN FLORIDA WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM THIS FACTOR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. A QUICK FIX WOULD BE AIRFOIL THAT SNAPS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD ARM THAT WOULD DIRECT AIR INTO THIS VACUUM BEHIND THE WIPER BLADE, DESTROYING THE SUCTION THAT PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR COMES EVERY MONTH OR TWO SINE NOVEMBER 2011. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2011. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND GET DIFFERENT REASONS SUCH AS TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW, TIRE WAS REPAIRED DUE TO A NAIL , WE COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG AND WE JUST RESET IT, AND SINCE YOU WERE DRIVING IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE LIGHT HAS A TENDENCY TO ONE. HOWEVER, I TOOK THE CAR IN JUST TO WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE PRESSURES WERE LOW AND SOMEBODY AT WORK MUST HAVE BEEN DEFLATING MY TIRES WHICH I FIND BURDEN. THREE DAYS AFTER THIS RESET THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT JUST SEEM THAT THEY AREN'T WILLING TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT THOROUGHLY BECAUSE I HAVE 32KPLUS MILES. I M WILLING TO FILE A CLASS ACTION IF POSSIBLE. *TR

STATIC ELECTRICAL SHOCKING WHEN EXISTING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE SECOND DAY OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. STATIC ELECTRICITY SHOCK IS MORE PAINFUL THEN ORDINARY STATIC SHOCK. VISITED THE DEALER, STATED THAT HAPPENS WITH THE CLOTH SEATS AND NO REAL REMEDY FOR THE STATIC ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS. SUGGESTED I BUY ANTI STATIC SPRAY FOR THE SEATS. ANTI STATIC SPRAY HELPS THE SHOCK TO A LESSER DEGREE, BUT DOES NOT LAST LONG. PAINFUL SHOCKS COME BACK QUICKLY AFTER ANTISTATIC SPRAY NO LONGER WORKING. DURING THE RAIN SEASON, THE SHOCKS WERE LESS, BUT THE DRY SEASON IS BACK AND THE SHOCKS ARE BECOMING UNBEARABLE. CONCERN WITH INTENSE SHOCKS IF THEY MAY PLACE A PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER DEFIBRILLATOR IMPLANT IN DANGER. *TR

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CR-V, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE LIGHT, AND FOUND IT TO BE A FAULTY FTP SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED OFF OF ANOTHER CR-V ON THE LOT. SINCE THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR, I HAVE HAD THE PHANTOM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF ABOUT EVERY MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2012, AND THEY FOUND THE FTP SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHERE IN THE SENSOR WAS BAD. THEY CLEARED THE CODE, AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AS I PULLED INTO SERVICE. APRIL 6, THE CHECK FUEL CAP LIGHT WAS FLASHING(WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE LIGHT IS ABOUT TO GO ON) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON APRIL 7. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME.THEY SAID I HAD YET ANOTHER BAD FTP SENSOR, AND REPLACED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A NEW PART IN STOCK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE. RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES ON, MY MILEAGE GOES FROM 27 MPG TO AROUND 22MPG. *TR
