general problems of the 2006 Honda CR-V

Driver side rear trailing arm broke free of the frame. Resulted in sudden loss of control and near accident.

Unknown.

I purchased my vehicle used in 2019 and immediately noticed a loud creaking noise from the front passenger area, especially in colder weather when driving over bumps at low speeds. By 2024, the noise became louder, more frequent, and occurred in all temperatures. In October 2024, I lost control of my vehicle and nearly flipped. Warning lights briefly appeared, indicating possible suspension issues, but they disappeared before I could diagnose the problem. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to continue driving despite the safety risk. In February 2025, I had a flat tire on the front passenger side and discovered it was nearly bald—far more worn than the other tires of the same age. Upon removal, it became clear that the front lower control arm was in a dangerously unnatural state and needed replacement. I recalled seeing a 2012 recall for this exact part in my Honda account, but when I entered my VIN, it stated the recall didn’t apply—likely due to age rather than the actual defect. This is a life-or-death issue that could easily lead to a fatal crash. Honda must address this immediately.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to complete a right turn, he heard an abnormal popping sound emanating from the front right of the vehicle. The contact also stated that when driving over a bump, the vehicle briefly drifted to the right. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the passenger side front lower control arm. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA campaign number 12v124000 (suspension), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 178,000.

A sharp sound and thug.

Nhtsa recall number: 12v-124 mfr campaign s33 campaign description: front lower arm weld recall date: 03/22/2012 summary: Honda is recalling certain model year 2006 Cr-v vehicles. The weld strength attaching the sub-frame bushing collar to the passenger-side front lower arm is insufficient. The collar can separate from the arm due to vibration while driving. Safety risk: as a result, a loss of steering can occur, increasing the risk of crash. Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production lot stamp on the passenger-side front lower arm and, if necessary, replace the lower arm, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about April 17, 2012. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. I have had this part break on my 2006 Honda crv twice. This is the same part that is listed in the recall. I would like to have my VIN added to the campaign because I am worried that it will happen again and affect the safety of my driving. When I turn, I am able to feel the steering not as stable as it should be.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the front arm bushings. The dealer (brown's Honda city, 7160 ritchie hwy, glen burnie, MD 21061, (410) 553-8014) stated that the part needed to be replaced. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from a recall campaign pertaining to the vehicle and provided no solution. The failure mileage was not available.

Starting June of 2012, I start to notice a vibration when going from stop to go. Shaking is more pronounce when going uphill. Once speed reaches 50mph, vibration ceases. Lately, the shake is more consistent. I tried to start to move slower in an attempt to dampen vibration, but it is still there. I have been reading forums where it is suggested that the angle of the shaft has something to do with the vibration. My question to that is : how come my odyssey and corolla don't shake at low speeds? none of the cars I have ever driven has this shake at low speeds. This should be labeled a fault that has to have a recall notice. A bad design of some part is causing the vibration.

The front end alignment on my 06 Honda crv will not stay in alignment, it was re-aligned shortly after delivery as a new vehicle, and has been done again on 2-3 occasions. Was told by service department employee at chapman Honda in tucson that the crv in question has a problem with pulling to the right which mine does. He advised me that Honda is supposed to be working on the issue but could offer no further info.

Vehicle pulls to the right even after proper alignment. This failure is continuous. In ice or snow cover conditions vehicle has a tendency to slide. After several visits to the dealership, the blame was always placed on tires or rotors. After replacing tires and rotors these symptoms still persisted.

Bought a 2006 crv in aprox beginning of June, after only 10,000 miles we had several problems. The passenger side seatbelt failed, the spare tire holder snapped, went through 3 tires and the car started making funny noises and pulling to the right. Went to the dealer and they said the rear differential needed fluid replacement. After 10,000 more miles the same problem with the rear differential happened again, but this time they said we need 2 more new tires and an alignment. Once the differential fluid is replaced the noise and the pulling stops, but only after 10,000 miles it comes back. There was a recall on problems with the differential but it started a couple of 1000 cars after ours, so we can not have ours fixed, and to make themselves look good Honda just changed the maintenance on it to every 15,000 miles but the manual says it only needs it every 60,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. While driving at any speed on uneven asphalt, the vehicle pulls and shifts to the left and right as if it will topple over. The dealer has not been notified. The vehicle was serviced on April 10, 2008 and the contact was not informed of any failures. The current and failure mileages were 40,000. Updated 04/25/08.

We purchased a 2006 Honda Cr-v se on January 12, 2006. Our main concern is that the vehicle severely pulls to the right (pttr). If I let go of the steering wheel on the interstate, the vehicle will cross over into the adjacent lane in about 3-4 seconds. The pull is much worse on secondary roads that have a crown. In addition, the pttr is increased by even moderate acceleration. This condition was apparent the day we purchased the vehicle, however, we were assured that an alignment would correct the problem. So far, the vehicle has been in for repair 3 times. This included, an alignment, a 5 day period where a Honda technical representative was called in to oversee the repairs, and lastly a 4 day dealer visit with repair recommendations from Honda technical. The final outcome is that Honda has not been able to correct the pttr problem. We feel that the pttr problem is severe and it creates an unsafe driving situation. Subsequently, we have filed a claim with the bbb that requests Honda to either replace or repurchase the vehicle. Honda has denied the request. An arbitration hearing is pending.

My transmission went out.
