VEHICLE FOULING SPARK PLUGS ABOUT EVERY 3-6 MONTH DUE TO OIL GETTING INTO THE CYLINDER(S) CAUSING SHUTTERING, LOSS OF POWER AND STALLING. IN MY CASE IT'S MY 3 BACK CYLINDERS. HAVE NOT BROUGHT TO HONDA DUE TO BEING A ASE MECHANIC MYSELF. STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 80'000 MILES IN 2018 AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE HAPPENING PROGRESSIVELY FASTER. HONDA TECH FRIEND OF MINE SAID HE'S DONE A LOT OF THESE REPLACING PISTON RINGS AT THE DEALER HE WORKS AT.

MY 2012 CROSSTOUR IS NOW SUFFERING FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE VERY COMMON SHAKING/SHUDDERING ISSUE. THE PROBLEM PRESENTS BETWEEN 20-45MPH AND AGAIN AROUND 60MPH, WHILE UNDER ACCELERATION. THE PARTS REMAIN ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. HOW CAN HONDA GET AWAY WITH NOT SUPPORTING THESE VEHICLES? OWNERS REALLY SHOULD BEGIN TO CONSIDER GETTING TOGETHER TO BRING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA.

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A SHAKING STEERING WHEEL DURING ACCELERATION LAST FALL. (APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES) AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES, REPLACING FRONT BRAKES & ROTORS, REPLACING BEARINGS, DOING AN ALIGNMENT AND HAVING MY MECHANIC REBUILD THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE, I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WENT TO THE DEALER. WITHIN ABOUT 2 MINUTES OF DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT HONDA HAD UPGRADED THE AXLE. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH AXLES BUT NO RECALL OR INFORMATION HAS EVER BEEN POSTED BY HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS, INDEED A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED!

PASSENGER SIDE HARSH VIBRATIONS - MOSTLY ON ANY ROAD GOING ABOVE 30MPH UNDER ACCELERATION THE AND HARSH VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER DIGGING ONLINE AND WASTING SEVERAL HOURS AND COUNTLESS DAYS AT MECHANICS THE OUTCOME IS A BAD PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE (DRIVESHAFT) CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS - LOCAL JUNK YARDS - PLENTY OF AUTO PART STORES AND NOTHING WAS AVAILABLE. DECIDED TO CALL AMERICA HONDA JUST TO FIND OUT THAT THE AXLE FOR THE CROSSTOUR IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. GO FIGURE. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH CROSSTOUR OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND ASKING FOR ADVICE. YET THIS ISSUE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL . WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR FROM HONDA THE VIBRATION WAS SMALL OVER 2 YEARS IT HAS GOT TO THE POINT OF DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. LAST NIGHT I HAD TO TOW THE CAR HOME DUE TO THE CRAZY AMOUNT OF VIBRATION WHEN UNDER ACCELERATION. --- HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL HONDA DEALER -- TO SEE WHAT THE MANAGER THINKS MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. WITH OUT BREAKING MY POCKETS. WILL POST A UPDATE IN A WEEK OR SO. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALERS AND CALL AMERICAN HONDA AND LET THEM KNOW THE ISSUES THE MORE CALLERS THE QUICKER WE GET THIS FACTORY ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF. NO WONDER THIS CAR WAS DISCONTINUED. THEY REALIZED THEIR MISTAKE ONCE PRODUCTION WAS STARTED.
