2011 Honda Cr-V other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Recall 23V228 was performed on my vehicle (brace installed), but the structural failure the recall was meant to prevent has occurred anyway. Honda is denying a buyback by claiming 'general rust,' despite stating the vehicle is irreparable and unsafe to drive.. I live in [XXX] . [XXX] on [XXX] noted the frame damage. I spoke to Honda Corporate was given case #XXX and was told to take it to a dealer. I took it to Lia Honda in Northhampon who said the frame is irreperable but it doesn't fall under the recall.

We bought this vehicle for our grandson for a great price, so we signed an "as is"agreement, knowing the dealer didn't inspect it. We were unaware that the rear axle housing was completely rusted. On 1/1/2026, he was driving and the rear axle housing broke off and the car is disabled. We had it towed to our home. Is this expensive to repair and if so, where do we begin. It seems the recall was ignored. Is it worth repairing?

The glass pane of my sunroof imploded while driving on the highway. The damage sounded like an explosion or something falling through the sunroof. The glass exploded “up” instead of down into the cavity between the glass and roof visor. There was no projectile. I took plenty of photographs. The failure happened suddenly without any indication of glass failure. I feel that my safety was impacted because it thoroughly startled myself and my passenger. The road was full of cars and the explosions could easily have put me in an unsafe position. Furthermore the glass pieces exploded out onto the highway which could have startled the driver behind me. As of writing, the car is being inspected by a mechanic and a glass replacement company. I called Honda corporate and they said they were not aware of any such malfunctions. The event occurred on [XXX] at roughly Noon on [XXX] . It was very cold outside but quite sunny. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Car makes horrible sound when cranking. I work with three other people that have Honda CRv cars that are having this exact same noise occurring every time they crank their cars as well. Google search indicates it may be a cam actuator gear assembly gone bad.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Received recall notice from Honda, attempted to make an appointment in May 2023 with Lia Honda in Enfield. Lia Honda failed to return multiple calls and set up an appointment, telling me “We will call you when we have the parts for this recall”. Once it reached September, I called a Honda dealership and repair center in Manchester and have an appointment with them in November 2023. This is completely unacceptable as the recall states that failure to make this appointment can cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle and crash.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

On Saturday, August 26, 2023 we were locked out of our 2011 Honda CR-V and had to call for assistance to get into the car. Neither of the key fobs worked and even attempting to unlock the drivers side door with the key did not work. Everything worked perfectly fine the day before. There were no issues whatsoever with the door locks prior to this. We called AAA, they got us in the car from the passenger side door. Drivers side door still would not open from the inside or outside of the car. Took it to the Honda dealer and was told it was the DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. We did a little digging and discovered that there was a class action lawsuit regarding this that was filed in January 2013 and a recall on this part in this particular model in 2014. At that time, our door lock actuator was working, so they did nothing with it. But, many years later, here we are, it malfunctioned, and we are now out $853.30 to have the door lock actuator fixed as well as the Master Window Switch, which was broken by the dealer while attempting to get the drivers side door open. (There were no problems with windows prior to this either.) I have found MANY people online who have had to pay for this repair because Honda said nothing was wrong with this on their cars back when the recall was in place. My husband could have been trapped in the car had something happened on the road affecting the passenger side of the car. (Since he had to climb thru from the passenger side to get into the drivers side of the car.) And I don't feel it is right that ALL of the Hondas involved were not fixed back when they discovered a problem in 2013. There are A LOT of these cars on the road right now, and this is NOT SAFE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Severe erosion under framing and exhaust of vehicle. Safety risk of the frame falling off and injuring myself or others on the road. Car could easily result in a major accident. Problem has been confirmed by a Honda dealer, that is how I found out the entire frame is eroded. No inspection has been done by manufacturer. No warning lights or messages, only very loud exhaust sound.

When the year changed to 2022, the time display on the radio/navigation control unit changed to 1Jan 2002. Honda is aware of the problem, per phone conversation, however, they have never sent out a notification to owners. I believe this affects 2007-2012 Honda's.

DOORS ARE NOT UNLOCKING ON MY 2011 HONDA CR-V. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I PARKED THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I SAW THAT DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK IS STUCK. IT WON'T UNLOCK WITH KEY FOB NOR WITH THE KEY. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. MEANING, NOW I EITHER I HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOWS DOWN AND FEAR THE CAR BEING STOLEN OR FEAR I WON'T BE ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE CAR IN THE EVENT OF AN CRASH. I SAW ONLINE THAT THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT LOCK ACTUATORS BEING FAULTY BUT HONDA STILL DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I HAVE A CRV THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2011. DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THAT I HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY I HAD TWO DOORS THAT I CANNOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR KEY, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR AND THE HATCH BACK DOOR. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $800 TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHAT IF ALL DOORS LOCK UP AND I CANNOT GET INTO MY CAR; WILL I HAVE TO PAY OVER $3000 TO GET INTO MY CAR? EVEN IF HAD EXTENDED INSURANCE WITH 3RD PARTIES, THIS IS NOT COVERED, I CHECKED. ISN'T THIS ON HONDA?

MY CAR LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE SO I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH AND EXIT THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN AFTER LOCKING FROM THE OUTSIDE, I COULD NOT UNLOCK MY CAR AGAIN ON ANY DOOR TO GET BACK IN. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR AND HAD I LOCKED THE DOORS AFTER I GOT OUT BEFORE GETTING HIM OUT, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO HIM.

1. AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED @ THE SAME TIME! WHEN TAKATA'S DANGEROUS AIRBAGS WERE DISCOVERED THEY BITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED & REPLACED IMMEDIATELY! INSTEAD MY FAMILY HAS BEEN @ RISK FOR FAR TOO LONG! I BOUGHT MY HONDA CRV EX-L BRAND NEW! I'VE BEEN DRIVING IN A DEATH TRAP EVER SINCE! WHY WAS HONDA NOT REQUIRED TO CHANGE BOTH AIRBAGS? 2. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE AC COMPRESSOR/CLUTCH'S THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN (FOR 10 YEARS) WERE DANGEROUSLY PLACED, CREATE MALFUNCTION OF COSTLY AC SYSTEMS, (CHILDREN DIE IN HOT CARS FAR TOO OFTEN) FROM HEAT STROKES, ETC. AS POSTED ON YOUR WEBSITE! THE AC/COMPRESSORS PICK UP HAZARDOUS MATERIALS/WASTE THAT IS THEN PUSHED THROUGHOUT THE AC UNIT! AIRPORT HONDA HAS HAD KNOWLEDGE BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED OF THIS PROBLEM IN CRV'S. THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS COSTLY ISSUE, NEGLECTED TO FIX IT, & IT DID MALFUNCTION. I PAID FOR COSTLY REPAIRS, & I PAID HONDA FOR A PLATINUM VEHICLE WARRANTY! I'M CONCERNED THAT NHTSA HAS NOT HELD HONDA RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS STATING IT'S NOT SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT VERY CLEARLY IS! AS A NURSE & PARENT I PUT MY CHILD IN A CARSEAT WHICH AUTOMATICALLY INCREASES HIS TEMPERATURE. THEN YOU ADD AC ISSUES IN TN RECORD HEAT & HUMIDITY (WHICH ALSO AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS) & IT'S A DEADLY COMBINATION! THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE,& IT IS NHTSA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CHOICES NOT INFORM THEIR CUSTOMERS & CONTINUE PUTTING THEM IN DANGER. TN IS KNOWN FOR BRUTAL HEAT, HUMIDITY, ASTHMA, & ALLERGENS! THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE MY PAPERWORK TO LEGITIMIZE MY CLAIM! INVESTIGATE THIS, MAKE HONDA NOTIFY CUSTOMERS! MOST PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THESE REPAIRS! WE HAVE HAD 90 DEGREE DAYS THIS OCTOBER, ,& MY CRV IS BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN! PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY & INVESTIGATE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE! OKEASE FORGIBE THE ALL CAPS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I EXPECT MORE FROM HONDA & MORE FROM YOU

MY AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT. HONDA PLACE SAID IT NEEDS A COMPRESSOR, CLUTCH AND COIL AND IT COST 1800.00. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF HONDA CRVS. WHAT IS THE HONDA COMPANY DOING FOR THIS ISSUE? THERE IS NO WAY WE HAVE 1800.00 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF BY A HONDA DEALER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU CAN HELP GET THIS REPAIRED.
