When I started driving the vehicle in 2021, I noticed it had a weak power and it was shaking. I purchased a set of four new coils, and spark plugs at the suggestion of a mechanic. I have had to change coil number 3 -three times since then and less than 3000 miles driving. This has to be a magnufacturing issue. I need someone to look at this issue to see why it is giving me so much problems.

On my 2010 Honda CRV, the rear frame stiffener became excessively corroded over time which resulted in frame stiffener perforation. On 10/18/22, the rear trailing arm separated from the vehicle's body while I was driving, forcing loss of control until I could bring the vehicle to a stop. I called my auto service provider to come and examine the problem which he confirmed that the rear trailing arm had separated from the body, the car was undrivable, and needed to be towed to Butler's Body Shop. The body shop confirmed that the rear trailing arm was separated from the body, that the right and left trailing arms, the right and left rail assembly, and the left axle assembly would need to be replaced. I learned that there was a safety recall issued by Honda Canada for Rear Frame Stiffener Corrosion for 2007-2011 Honda CRV's. I contacted American Honda to report the issue and was told since there was no recall from them for my vehicle that there would be no reimbursement from them to fix my 2010 CRV. The same problem for the same vehicle warrants a safety recall from Honda Canada but not from American Honda? Makes no sense. My Honda case # is 13433028. Please investigate before a serious accident occurs. I have pictures of the corrosion and copies of the invoices which detail the repair.

2010 Honda CR-V. Based on a HONDA dealer report and diagnosed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 27, 2022. The A/C compressor, coil and A/C system clutch burned out during a trip through high dessert on Interstate 15 north from California to a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. Temperature 107 degrees, heavy raining and in the middle of flash warning storm. According with Mechanic and HONDA Service advisors at Nevada's HONDA dealership, the A/C compressor's friction also, most likely rested engine power and proper performance to engine water pump and engine alternator. During this incident, we (My spouse and I) were so concerned of vehicle total engine failure and monitored engine temperature constantly, during remaining part of the trip. We continued traveling at reduced speed at approximately 40 miles per hour due to heavy rain and high altitude. We were forced to stop and reduce the speed to 15 miles per hour due to lack of visibility and poor engine performance and lack of power. The A/C compressor and A/C clutch burned-out completed, and A/ C ceased to fully operate. Cost of repair is estimated at $2,934.55 This incident has similar conditions and A/C system failure, as previously reported in NHTSA complaint No. 10056005

The passenger side door lock is not unlocking. I need to click the locking (inside the car) and hold it unlock. When I put on park, the door will not unlock. When I use my key to unlock the doors, the passenger side lock does not unlock. I have no option to leave the passenger side door locked and unable to used that door. It is a big safety issue. This issues need to be fixed by the manufacturer.

I put my car in Drive after I got the green light to exit the car wash and the car surged forward and continued accelerating, knocking over several installations and going over a median separating the car wash from the roadway. The car ended up on the roadway, finally slowed down by multiple collisions and I was able to get control of it and get it parked and wait for the police to come. By some miracle, no-one was hurt, but the car was completely out of control. It just wouldn't stop or slow down. It was the most bizarre experience I have ever had and I fear it will not or cannot be investigated. I have informed my insurance company and my hope is that they can find something showing that the car malfunctioned.

Driving at highway speeds, the rear driver side wheel assembly detached at the frame causing an unexpected fishtail to a stop. Fortunately the roads were icy that the tire was able to skid and we avoided rolling over. After researching this issue online I found that these CRV's are being recalled in Canada for excessive corrosion to rear frame stiffeners years 2007-2011 resulting in what happened to us. Why is this not being done in the United States?

Locks intermittently lock and unlock while driving and in park. This afternoon my son was locked in the car for several minutes as we prayed and waited for them to unlock again to get him out in the blazing Florida heat. This is definately a safety hazard.

Honda air conditioning. My car has had nothing but problems with its air. My air died again & when I went online I saw that Honda had a class action suit that I was never informed of, which involved my car. I spoke with Honda on Friday & they asked me to bring my car in for diagnostic, which I did the next day in 95 degree heat. When the dealership found out I was aware of the class action suit & that I had contacted Honda, they did everything they could to shift blame for the problem onto us, as my husband had put freon into the car. The diagnostic was supposed to be free, but within minutes, their rep was asking me to pay $225 for a diagnostic, which I can't afford, as I am disabled. When the car was finished they told me that they wouldn't cover anything, as it was my husbands fault the condenser was bad & that it would be $1800 to have it fixed or I could trade it in on another car. Oh, & that I shouldn't use the air system at all, as it could spew out metal shards which could cause further damage. If we had been notified that there was an issue with the air, we would have never touched the system, & to me it seemed that Honda is trying to screw Honda owners over by not taking responsibility for something that should have been recalled. There are thousands of complaints filed about this issue & I'm sure there are thousands more people, like myself, that had no knowledge that there was a defect in this system. They notified me when my car had the problems with catching fire, & notified & then took their sweet time replacing my airbags, so why wouldn't they notify me about something as serious as metal shards blowing into my face & body" I am disabled & only use my car to get back & forth to my medical appointments & can't afford $1800 for a car I only use occasionally? it is a 2010 with 52K miles. Can someone help Honda owners please"

Air conditioner problem that didn't arise until well after the 7 year or 100,000 miles. I am on year 9 and 7,000 miles over and nothing can be done about this. It is a known issues and it is still happening. A friend of mine has a CRV also but a 2017 to my 2010 and he has the same issue. Not as bad but still. Why should we have to pay out of pocket for something Honda knows about and still puts in there vehicles!

Driver side door won't unlock. First time I tried to unlock all doors wouldn't unlock and I was trapped inside my car. Not electrical as windows proceeded to roll down/up. Dealership wants to and I quote "break door to see what problem is". I think not. Key fob doesn't unlock any door but key fob will lock all doors. Have to manually unlock at driver side door and then go enter passenger side door to enter vehicle. Safety hazard for sure.

Single owner of vehicle, bought brand new. For last 18 months or more...large oil consumption, about 1100 miles per synthetic oil change. Sounds like a lawnmower when starting vehicle. Terrible "pick-up". very low gas mileage, used 87 unleaded for entire life of car. Currently averging about 12 miles per gallon (highway/around town combined). Taken to local Honda dealership many times with no real solution although posts all over internet with same problems.

I wish to complain about my 2010 Honda CRV. I am having issues with my air conditioning unit. When it is hot, it blows hot air even when it is set on the lowest temperature. However, when it is nighttime it will blow cold air. Honda evacuated and recharged the system only for me to experience the same issues two months later. I was then told that I needed to replace the ac compressor, coil set, clutch set, etc. I went to get a second opinion and I was told that the ac compressor would not even power on due to electrical issues. In relation to electrical issues, my car also stalled about a year ago and I was able to have that issue rectify without taking it to Honda.

Michelin defender xt green X tires are cracked and separating around all the tread. Only have 35,000 miles on tires and are less than 4yrs old. Some cracking is also on sidewalls but mostly in the tread. Also have vibration at 60+ mph due to tread separating from tire. This is the 4th vehicle I have had these tires dry rot and cracking. I have replaced all of my tires. I did the Michelin warranty on one vehicle and it was a nightmare, no dealers honor the warranty and they lie to customers saying tires are safe. Please have Michelin recall the defender green X line of tires before someone gets hurt. Dot codes: 225/65R17 B93T02bx1114 B93T02bx0914
