“I noticed that Honda crv are being recalled. My VIN number was not included in the recall. When I bought the vehicle, the first day I drove it was stalling when I asked the dealer he says that was normal, stalling was ok. The other problem I have is the passenger airbag. It does not tell you when it is on, it is always off and you never know when it is on.”
NHTSA complaint #10744509, filed 2015-07, 600 miles“After I bought the car two weeks later when the car is on cruise control going uphill the car rolls back by at least 10 miles and pick up again and stalls again. When I asked the dealer what was the problem, the dealer stated it was nor mal for the car to stall. I never accepted that explanation, the car needs top be recalled along with the other cars. This is my third complaint and nothing has been done.”
NHTSA complaint #10762379, filed 2015-09, 300 miles“I bought the car from tony Honda brand new, from the time I started driving the car, the speed control would stall. If I was driving for example at 60 MPH once I get to a hill, the speed control would stall, go 50 and pick up again. Stalling is a dangerous situation in high traffic and high speed. I pointed out to the dealer that this was a dangerous situation, he stated there was nothing he could do; it was normal for Honda crv-ex to stall. I disagreed.”
NHTSA complaint #10632638, filed 2014-09, 2,500 miles“While traveling in stop and go traffic, I was fully stopped with my foot on the brake peddle. Suddenly I heard & felt the engine of my car revving up. My car catapulted forward about 20 feet hitting the car in front of me. I applied more pressure on the brake peddle but could not stop the forward momentum of my car. Both cars sustained damage. The other driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because she complained of head, neck & back pain.”
NHTSA complaint #10544412, filed 2013-09, 2,218 miles“Correct recall on some crv - if the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash. Accident I stopped my car thought I put it in park and left it running to put up a garage sale sign. The next thing I know my car was driving away by itself like someone jumped in the car. I was out of the car and about 10 feet behind the car when the car started to move. The car was not on a hill but just started going. …”
