“During cold weather, when starting the car in the morning, it makes a weird noise, not sure if it is the transmission. Any time I speed up the car from 20 pmph to 35 MPH, the transmission makes a noise similar to ambulance noise. I took it to the dealer because it is under warranty yet and they said it is normal, I don't agree with this, please investigate.”
NHTSA complaint #10991907, filed 2017-05, 4,000 miles“Driving about 10 MPH, I turned the steering wheel quickly to enter a parking place when the power steering turned off. I was able to park and turned off the engine. When I restarted the car, the power steering came back on. I tried to duplicate this event but it did not occur again. I reported this to my dealer but they said they did not have any information on this.”
NHTSA complaint #10954806, filed 2017-02, 8,450 miles“Accelerating up to travel speed on a highway the wheels start shimming we could not control the car. Talking to the dealer who said that they where aware of this and that snow & ice can pack into the rims causing the wheels to be unbalanced. I am 70 years old and do not think its safe for me to get out of the car on the highway to clean the wheels.”
NHTSA complaint #10557717, filed 2013-12, 200 miles“I was driving on the interstate 90 when all of sudden eps( electronic power steering), vsa( vehicle stability assist) failure and low tire warning light came on. Steering became very hard to turn.when I took the car to dealer after one day of analysis they told that alignment of one the front tires was very off. Even though it is an warranty issue they refused to honor it and blamed me for bumping the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10671895, filed 2015-01, 9,970 miles“I bought at 2014 crv end of sept/oct of 2013. Upon the first snow fall I drove the vehicle and had immediate problems. The car was not getting any traction, it was sliding around going down hills and upon trying to drive up hills it would stop without even trying to go up. It would stop and wheels would spin, the rear end spun to the side and I could not get anywhere. The amber awd lights came on and flashed, combination of both scenarios. I finally got it into the dealership as the problem got worse. …”
