“Poor acceleration and pickup when applying gas. Worse in hotter weather. There is a Honda service bulletin for thus problem on same year vehicle for computer firmware update to fix the problem, 10-077 TSB, but my local Honda dealer refuses to do it. Says my VIN doesn't fall into it, even know the symptoms are exactly what it fixes. Frustrated. No pickup is really dangerous when trying to get on interstate and it is my daughter's car.”

“The vehicle has been running rough in the highway and rough when idling. We have chosen to keep it because we have trust in Honda's reliability. Five days ago, the car was running and the whole family was in it. All of a sudden, its engine sounded like 'junk' which never happened before. We were all nervous and confused and we were about 20 miles away from home. Our safety in the car was uncertain and the roads going home had varying speeds between 30 to 65 mi/hr. We know today that the engine has severe problem due to high oil consumption which is extremely disappointing.”

“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. …”

“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.”

“When starting vehicle car turns on with no problem sometimes and will run with little to no problem. When all of a sudden vehicle begins to lose power and all lights on instrument panel lights up car shuts off. This can happen randomly at any given time, weather condition, speed, parking or pulling out of parking space on the highway or multi-lane streets within city limits; and or one-way streets, back roads or country roads with inclines and higher elevations or not. Incidents have been happening since march 15, 2017, april 2, april 15, april 18, april 20, may 2, may 4, 2017. …”
