37 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2013

Correct recall on some crv - if the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash. Accident I stopped my car thought I put it in park and left it running to put up a garage sale sign. The next thing I know my car was driving away by itself like someone jumped in the car. I was out of the car and about 10 feet behind the car when the car started to move. The car was not on a hill but just started going. There was no way I could stop it and thank god it hit a mailbox that was in a tub of cement which stopped the car. If it did not hit this it could of keep going and hit someone else or someone on the main road route 46 in mine hill. I am afraid to even drive it when I get it back. This is a leased car and I can't even believe I had to have this happen. Of course I got a ticket. I am concerned since I would not like this to happen to anyone else someone could of been killed.

38 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2013

While traveling in stop and go traffic, I was fully stopped with my foot on the brake peddle. Suddenly I heard & felt the engine of my car revving up. My car catapulted forward about 20 feet hitting the car in front of me. I applied more pressure on the brake peddle but could not stop the forward momentum of my car. Both cars sustained damage. The other driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because she complained of head, neck & back pain.

39 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2013

While attempting to legally turn right into an intersection, the vehicle started to move but suddenly the accelerator failed to respond, leaving me and my family in the middle of the road for a approximately 3 to 5 seconds, while other vehicles were approaching. After a few seconds, the vehicle abruptly responded and I was able to continue my trip. This event has occasionally occurred since then. The issue has been discussed with the authorized dealer representative, but nothing has been done since no warning light or indicator has revealed any failure code.

40 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2013

During a cold start-up the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds every since I purchased the vehicle new. Had it back to dealer several times and they advised they didn't hear it. The vtc actuator is defective apparently from prior complaints. The second issue the car started to shudder and vibrate on the road when driving at slower speeds. Not sure if I need a software update.

41 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2013

Coasting at 10 mph and no pressure on accelerator, when I give the car moderate gas the engine does not respond unless I rock the accelerator or accelerate hard. I now have 6526 miles on the car and a second trip to the dealer and the problem is more pronounced. The Honda dealers statement is that the transmission is waiting for the computer to tell it to downshift or stay in present gear and accelerate and nothing can be done to eliminate the problem. It does not show up as a code. This could be a problem for new or less experienced drivers and conceivably cause a driver to be rear ender or hit a car from behind. . . .

42 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2013

After coming to a full stop at a stop sign or red light and turning either left or right under normal acceleration the rpms drop to zero for a spit second and then power is restored. This happens only on turns. It is an on going problem. Honda dealer and Honda corp. Say no problem. Does not register on the computer in the car. I have an email from the salesman that sold us the car that he has two women that work for him with the same problem (I can forward the email at your request). Their solution is to turn the econ system off. As this happens only in stop and go situations turning the econ system off defeats the purpose of the system. I have had more than one close call. I drive this car a little as possible at this time under 5,000 miles as I am a realtor in this time frame there would be double the miles. This started as we drove home from the dealership.

43 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2013

The vehicle stutters when travelling 30-35 miles per hour. It has done this since I bought the vehicle. I have taken it to the Honda dealership to correct and to another mechanic. The Honda dealership say it's a problem Honda has not sent a recall on and they don't know how to fix it. It is also a hot topic on many forums regarding this vehicle.
