“I took my vehicle to the Honda dealer for its 90,000 service. At this time Honda dealer recommended work but did not perform replace front lower arm compliance bushing, ball joints boot torn. Honda did not mention the NHTSA campaign id 12v12400, (suspension front control arm lower arm). I felt like the Honda rep did not explain my options, and did not listen to my concerns. I had it repaired at another auto care center. On 9-13-2012, the AC system went, compressor locked up. It needed an entire new AC system. …”
NHTSA complaint #10476516, filed 2012-09, 92,000 miles“Starting june of 2012, I start to notice a vibration when going from stop to go. Shaking is more pronounce when going uphill. Once speed reaches 50mph, vibration ceases. Lately, the shake is more consistent. I tried to start to move slower in an attempt to dampen vibration, but it is still there. I have been reading forums where it is suggested that the angle of the shaft has something to do with the vibration. My question to that is : how come my odyssey and corolla don't shake at low speeds? None of the cars I have ever driven has this shake at low speeds. …”
NHTSA complaint #10463632, filed 2012-06, 28,025 miles“Bought a 2006 crv in aprox beginning of june, after only 10,000 miles we had several problems. The passenger side seatbelt failed, the spare tire holder snapped, went through 3 tires and the car started making funny noises and pulling to the right. Went to the dealer and they said the rear differential needed fluid replacement. After 10,000 more miles the same problem with the rear differential happened again, but this time they said we need 2 more new tires and an alignment. Once the differential fluid is replaced the noise and the pulling stops, but only after 10,000 miles it comes back. …”
NHTSA complaint #10242288, filed 2008-09, 10,000 miles“We purchased a 2006 Honda CR-V se on january 12, 2006. Our main concern is that the vehicle severely pulls to the right (pttr). If I let go of the steering wheel on the interstate, the vehicle will cross over into the adjacent lane in about 3-4 seconds. The pull is much worse on secondary roads that have a crown. In addition, the pttr is increased by even moderate acceleration. This condition was apparent the day we purchased the vehicle, however, we were assured that an alignment would correct the problem. So far, the vehicle has been in for repair 3 times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10171724, filed 2006-10, 50 miles“Vehicle pulls to the right even after proper alignment. This failure is continuous. In ice or snow cover conditions vehicle has a tendency to slide. After several visits to the dealership, the blame was always placed on tires or rotors. After replacing tires and rotors these symptoms still persisted.”
