Honda CRV subject to NHTSA recall 23V-228. I called the dealer who confirms vehicle recall and informed me Honda has no parts available to carry out the recall. Called Honda customer service, phone agent initially said vehicle has been recalled, and I can get reimbursed for parts needed to fix it. I explained Honda dealer said no parts available. Honda CSR after a brief hold said upon further review, that my vehicle has not been recalled. I told her that contradicted her initial information, the NHTSA web site, the Honda recall web site and my conversation with the dealer. The CRV was purchased in a rust belt state and operated in a rust belt state for approximately 14 years. I explained several times to Honda CSR that this wasn't a simple broken radio recall, but a safety recall indicating that the vehicle could crash when something breaks on the rear axel when driven. Honda again said my vehicle had not been recalled.

I was driving down the street as i had just came off a major highway. Route 71 north. My back left frame stiffner broke off my car, had i been driving still on the highway, i could have easily been killed. There was a recall for this exact problem in Canada. Why not here in the United States?

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I have dumped around 6k into this car and the issues span several different mechanics and a towing company. I stopped into a Firestone tire where they sold me new tires, struts, brakes, and a lifetime alignment. They didn’t do the alignment which destroy the 70k miles tires in 10k at which point they told me it was my fault for not getting an alignment. I said you charged me for the lifetime alignment. They took no ownership and after I got infuriated with the lack of support they banned me from calling any Firestone. Corporate won’t call me back. Fast forward and my car started doing the death wobble. I bought a new rack, pressure line, and oil pan as the pan was leaking. I guess when they did the oil change at Firestone they used an impact wrench and it was leaking from the oil bolt. I purchase the oil pan, gaskets, and oil. I posted up in a parking lot and jacked the car up. For one reason or another I couldn’t finish it on my own so I had a company c&s towing tow the car to Juan Carlos’ garage. C&s towing dragged the car in the flat bed breaking a range of things from a motor mount to a possible cv axle. The car is popping and is non functioning now. I got the car to Juan Carlos’s garage a week later after spending $500 in towing. Mr Carlos told me he only accepted cash and upon further questioning him while filming him he openly stated he accepted card. When I asked him why he profile me he had no response. The car is running worse than ever after it came back from Juan Carlos’s garage. The timing cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. The oil cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. He broke off a bolt in the timing cover and it looks like there is an entire bracket missing from the side where the timing cover is. The car is making terrible noise and the transmission is slipping now. I am very unsure why or how I have paid these people to work on my car. When it just gets worse. I got a credit card with Firestone and they won’t call me back to speak

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Whenever I unlock the doors, the front passenger and rear passenger doors do not stay unlocked for more than a second. I am worried that if something happened (such as the car catching on fire), my passengers would be unable to get out of the car. I bought this car used with this problem; the owner before me also had this issue. To my knowledge, there was no prior warning to this problem occurring. Lock issues are a common occurrence with the model from 2007-2011 CRVs.

While traveling at 70 mph on I-80 in Indiana, without warning, the right rear trailing arm broke away from the frame of the vehicle causing loss of control. The vehicle swerved across both West bound lanes four times before coming to a stop. Luckily it was early morning and there were no other vehicles near us. We were towed to a Honda dealer in Fort Wayne and they verified the vehicle was not repairable. The insurance company also had an adjuster inspect the vehicle and confirm it was not repairable. The vehicle was left in Indiana and we had to rent a vehicle to continue our trip home to Wisconsin. I don't understand why there isn't a recall or TSB issued for the problem stated with this vehicle. It's a known problem that's documented here and other places on the internet. Canada had a recall but American Honda and the NHTSA don't seem to acknowledge it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Hello, My vehicle's door motors or actuators are not working, specifically the driver side back door and the rear baggage door. This happened as we were trying to get into the vehicle while it was raining heavily on the side of the road due to an emergency toilet brake. This of course was frustrating as we were trying to get into the car and put stuff in the car, and put us in harms way of upcoming traffic because some of us could not get in. This problem has been rampant by Honda Motor company and they had a recall regarding this issue. There were no warning lights for this. We just heard a loud buzz when we tried to open the doors.

A part of the rear suspension failed, caused the rear wheel to turn while driving at highway speed. Lost control and crashed. I do have possession of the vehicle, I can make it available. Safety - No control of vehicle- safety and life of myself and any other vehicle around me were at risk. Vehicle was inspected by the insurance company to determine value. No warnings, and the affected area looked acceptable. I am regularly under this vehicle, it has been inspected regularly.

My catalytic converter was stolen when my car was parked. Honda owners has been targeted for its catalytic converters, and there are numerous reports of Honda’s cats being stolen. Honda has a major defect where it makes it easier for thieves to steal the cat in minutes. There are 3 major flaws with the product. 1) Hondas don’t automatically come with a cat converter steel shield, cage, or other protector to make them harder to steal. 2) Hondas don’t install their cat in the engine compartment like other car manufacturers to deter theft. 3) Honda’s cat contains valuable materials, which is why they are targeted. Other car brands tend to have less valuable catalysts so thieves are not incentivized to steal them. Because there are many cats being stolen, there is a shortage to replace them, and car owners have to wait weeks to months to get their cat replaced. It’s been almost 2 weeks, and my car is still at the mechanic’s waiting for a replacement catalytic converter. My safety, and the safety of my family, including two kids, were compromised because I had to drive my family home (and we live in a hilly area) without a cat as it was stolen Sunday evening, and I had to wait until the next day to get it to the mechanic’s. The warning light appeared when I started the car, but by the telltale sound my car made, I already knew the cat was stolen. A police report was filed and the claim with my insurance was completed. Cats are very expensive to replace and an inconvenience for a 1-car family. Now we don’t have a car to do basic necessities like take the kids to school, go grocery shopping for the family, go to work, and go to doctor appointments.
