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.

When accelerating up to 50 mph, vehicle shakes between 40 and 50 mph. Vehicle also accelerates on its own when in traffic at random times.

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.

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.

After starting the car, I cannot shift the automatic gear shift selector out of park, or remove the key from the ignition.

I had the airbags and lock controls replaced per the recall notices. About 1 month after the air bag replacement my air conditioner started blowing warm air on and off. I never received a notice about the air conditioning system which supposedly was sent out as bulletin #12-072. I did have a 100,000 mile warranty on my car I thought but I am told it was only for 3 years and that my warranty expired after 7 years on my certified used car warranty. I would not have ignored the recall warning.

Transmission went out , its making a loud growling sound like a 4 wheel drive with big tires. When driving. Read some reviews online. And they are alot of people complain of same problem. And cant seem to get it fix or a reason from Honda. They show air bag recall . But no transmission recall. And they should be.

The outer race secondary shaft bearing is broken causes abnormal noise. This could cause the engine to stall additionally broken pieces may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting the vehicle rolling after it is placed in park position. Unexpected vehicle movement increases the risk of a crash or personal injury. It took a long time for someone to find the problem. Honda had a recall for this but my VIN # was not on it and should have been.

The car lurches for no apparent reason. It has happened on several occasions, but has become more frequent lately.

2007 Honda crv problems with door locks. The driver's door lock automatically unlocks while the vehicle is moving and can't be relocked. At first it was the passenger door lock, got that fixed @ Honda and cost about $300 back in oct 2010 @ 38500 od mi. Now, the driver's door lock has the same problem! using remote keyless or driver's master door lock button, all doors lock except for the driver's door. It constantly makes grinding sounds and lock clicking on but does not lock!!. . Tried to lock manually, but key does not work, afraid to force it and have it break in the lock. Safety issue and as well as property damage (unable to secure property). I hear this has been an ongoing issue with Hondas crv and other models, dating back quite a few years and makes sense if Honda contracting the same vendors! quality control issue? the recent recall for 2012 Hondas and acuras for defective door locks!! if using same vendor - same probem - and why only 2012 if older cars have had the same problems? recall should be for older cars as well! ** other problem is the powertrain @ 66000 od mi. - recently noticed that at speeds of 10 - 15 mph ( after every stop) car sluggish as if about to lose power (dangerous safety issue) recall issues!.
