2012 Honda Crosstour Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“On 11/23/15 I bought my 2012 Honda Crosstour to my mechanic after feeling a shimmy in the front end. Wanted to make sure car was not out of alignment. After checking all the normal check points (ie.. Tires, wheel balance, motor and transmission mount), did a check on both right and left axles. Mechanic stated the fluttering is due a manufacture defect in the driver side axle. Honda was told me that the part (44306-tp6-305) is on national back order and there was no eta. It is 8/8/16 still waiting for axle. I have opened a case ticket again with Honda but have been told the same thing. …”

“My 2012 Crosstour is now suffering from what seems to be the very common shaking/shuddering issue. The problem presents between 20-45mph and again around 60mph, while under acceleration. The parts remain on national backorder. How can Honda get away with not supporting these vehicles? Owners really should begin to consider getting together to bring a class action lawsuit against Honda.”

“Steering wheel and chassis vibration on acceleration above 65 MPH. Vibration stopped only after letting off gas peddle. Axle vibrates under acceleration load at high speed. All road conditions”

“Passenger side harsh vibrations - mostly on any road going above 30mph under acceleration the and harsh vibration is felt through out the passenger side front side of the car. After digging online and wasting several hours and countless days at mechanics the outcome is a bad passenger side front axle (driveshaft) called several dealers - local junk yards - plenty of auto part stores and nothing was available. Decided to call america Honda just to find out that the axle for the Crosstour is on a nationwide back order. Go figure. …”

“I began experiencing a shaking steering wheel during acceleration last fall. (approximately 70,000 miles) after replacing all 4 tires, replacing front brakes & rotors, replacing bearings, doing an alignment and having my mechanic rebuild the front driver's side axle, I finally gave up and went to the dealer. Within about 2 minutes of discussing this problem, the service manager told me that he had seen numerous problems with this vehicle and told me that Honda had upgraded the axle. I had to replace both axles but no recall or information has ever been posted by Honda for this problem. …”
