DRIVING DOWN A SECONDARY ROAD AT 40 MPH, THE CAR MADE A LOUD CRASHING AND SCRAPING SPUD. THIS MADE THE DRIVER DUCK AND COVER AS IT FELT THAT THE CAR HAD SEEN STRUCK BY SOMETHING. THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO VEER OUT OF CONTROL. THE REAR END BEGAN TO FISHTAIL LEFT INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE THEN BACK AGAIN. THE CAR THEN QUICKLY CAME TO A LAID SCRAPPING STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE WAS FACING PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROAD EXPOSING BROKEN METAL AND FRAME RAIL. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS KILLED.

DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. EVERY TIME I STOP AND START DRIVING AGAIN, THE LOCKS TRY TO LOCK BUT DO NOT ALL STAY LOCKED. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FOR CRVS FROM 2007.

VEHICLE TPMS SYSTEM INDICATOR HAS COME ON TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT CLEARED ITSELF AFTER 3 DAYS AND THE SECOND TIME IT HAS STAYED ON FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AND IS STILL ON AT THIS TIME. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES. THIS SYSTEM INDICATOR ALSO AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON THE VSA AND CEASES TO MONITOR TIRE PRESSURES WHEN IT IS LIT UP. IF ONE NEEDS TO DISABLE THE VSA DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS, IT CANNOT BE DONE. ALSO, ANY TIRE THAT IS LOSING PRESSURE WILL DO SO WITHOUT ALERTING THE DRIVER.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM CAME LOOSE FROM THE FRAME. THE RIGHT WHEEL TIRE SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME LODGED AGAINST THE REAR OF THE WHEEL WELL AT AN ANGLE. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. POLICE ARRIVED TO BLOCK OFF THE NEAREST LANE SO I COULD SAFELY BE TOWED FROM THE SCENE, AS THE CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE. I AM FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED, AS I DO NOT BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE SAFELY BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTROL ARM CAME LOOSE DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME. THE AREA AROUND THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE ARM IS TORN AWAY FROM THE FRAME, THE NUTS AND BOLTS ARE STILL ATTACHED TO THE FRAGMENTS OF FRAME THEY WERE ORIGINALLY MOUNTED TO. THIS MODEL YEAR CRV IS UNDER RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN CANADIAN PROVINCES WHERE ROAD SALT IS EXTENSIVELY USED IN WINTER. THIS MODEL WAS PURCHASED IN MINNESOTA, WHERE ROAD SALT IS EXTENSIVELY USED IN WINTER.

DRIVING AT 30 MPH, JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH, ALMOST AT HOME WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL BROKE OFF OF FRAME, STUCK IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, POLICE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRAME HAD RUSTED OUT AND CAR WAS BASICALLY TOTALED. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AND OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. WENT ONLINE AND SAW THAT HONDA CANADA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT REASON. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN THESE 2007-2011 CARBS. WHY CANADA AND NOT USA. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!!!!!

1) THE CAR FAILS TO START OCCASIONALLY. I ALREADY HAD REPAIR SHOP CHANGED TO NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. 2) THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR HANDLE (OUTSIDE) STICKS AND DO NOT GO BACK, AFTER IT'S BEEN PULLED. THIS CAUSES THE CAR'S DOORS LOCKS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DURING DRIVING, STOPS AND GOS.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THREE DAYS AGO MY DAUGHTER HAS A CAR ACCIDENT. HER CAR WAS HIT AND THE OTHER DRIVER LEFT THE SCENE. SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE SEATBELT IS NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THERE'S NO RECALL. WE ARE WORRIED BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT AND THE AIRBAG DIDN'T PROTECT HER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT WAS HIT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE REAR FRAME AND THE RISK OF THE REAR-TRAILING SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME AND LIKELIHOOD OF AN ENSUING ACCIDENT. THE INSPECTION STATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED AGAINST REPAIR DUE TO THE STRESS POINT, AND INTEGRITY OF THE SURROUNDING STRUCTURES. I OPENED CASE # 10157114 WITH AMERICAN HONDA, AND THEY HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE ISSUE ALONG WITH PICTURES TAKEN BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED IN 2019 BY TRANSPORT CANADA RECALL # 2019025. HONDA CANADA'S STATEMENT REGARDING THE RECALL: "EXCESSIVE CORROSION TO THE REAR FRAME MAY RESULT IN FRAME STIFFENER PERFORATION AND, IN EXTREME CASES, CAUSE THE REAR-TRAILING ARM TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE'S FRAME STRUCTURE. A SEPARATED REAR-TRAILING ARM MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." AMERICAN HONDA (USA) REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE, AND INSISTS THIS IS ONLY A HONDA CANADA ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT STANCE IS THAT CANADIAN PRODUCTION OF THE CR-V MODEL DID NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE 2012 MODEL YEAR. CR-VS FOR BOTH THE CANADIAN AND US MARKETS FOR THE 2007-2011 MODEL YEARS WERE PRIMARILY PRODUCED IN EAST LIBERTY, OH, USA AND SAYAMA, SAITAMA, JAPAN. THUS THE MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE FRAMES OF THE VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THE CANADIAN RECALL WILL EXACTLY MATCH THOSE SOLD IN THE USA AS THEY CAME OFF THE SAME PRODUCTION LINES. THE VEHICLE SUBJECT OF THIS COMPLAINT WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE JAPAN FACILITY.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, JUST COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED MY CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, AND SAW MY BACK DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE AT A VERY STRANGE ANGLE. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. WE BOTH LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, AND IT APPEARED TO BE THAT THE ARM CAME DISLODGED FROM THE FRAME ON THAT SIDE DUE TO EXTENSIVE CORROSION. WHEN COMING HOME I GOOGLED THE ISSUE, AND SAW CANADA HAD A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, IN HUMID AREAS THAT USE SALT FOR DE-ICING. COASTAL NEW ENGLAND WOULD ALSO FALL UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, AS WOULD MANY OTHER NORTHERN AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED HERE AS WELL. IF IT HAD HAPPENED 5 MINUTES SOONER, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN TO PARK, THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT PUSH IN AGAIN TO ALLOW MOVEMENT OF THE GEAR SHIFT AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE KEY WILL NOT TURN BACK INTO POSITION TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE RADIO AND COMPUTER COMPONENTS REMAIN ON.

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND IT OFTEN SHUDDERS WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR WITH LOW RPMS. IF YOU GIVE IT MORE GAS IT STOPS SHUDDERING. NONETHELESS SHIFTING IS REALLY POOR FOR A BRAND WITH A GOOD REPUTATION.

IT IS MORE OF A CONCERN THAN A COMPLAINT AS OF RIGHT NOW. TRANSPORT CANADA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2007-2011 HONDA CR-VS (HTTPS://WWWAPPS.TC.GC.CA/SAF-SEC-SUR/7/VRDB-BDRV/SEARCH-RECHERCHE/DETAIL.ASPX?LANG=ENG&RN=2019025) THAT OPERATE IN ONTARIO, QUEBEC AND MARITIME CANADA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED FOR WINTER ROAD DE-ICING. I LIVE IN STATE WHICH BORDERS QUEBEC. WE HAVE A SIMILAR CLIMATE AND RELY HEAVILY ON ROAD SALT FOR WINTER ROAD DE-ICING. THE RECALL ISSUED BY TRANSPORT CANADA (# 2019025) IDENTIFIES THAT ROAD SALT CAN CAUSE THE REAR FRAME TO RUST. AND THIS CORROSION COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A REAR-TRAILING ARM SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS PROVIDED A REMEDY. VEHICLES ARE INSPECTED TO ASCERTAIN THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLES THAT PASS THE INSPECTION ARE APPLIED A SEALANT TO PROTECT AGAINST FUTURE CORROSION. VEHICLES THAT FAIL THE INSPECTION ARE EITHER REPAIRED OR BOUGHT BACK BY HONDA. GIVEN THAT USAGE OF ROAD SALT IN NORTHEASTERN STATES THAT BORDER CANADA IS MOST LIKELY COMPARABLE TO THE IDENTIFIED REGION WHERE THE TRANSPORT CANADA RECALL APPLIES, SHOULDN'T VEHICLES OPERATING IN REGIONS OF THE US THAT RELY HEAVILY ON ROAD SALT BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME LEVEL OF SAFETY SCRUTINY?
