There was a safety recall for the rear arm control and excessive rust, Honda said they fixed it back in 2018... out of no where my car lost control and caused me to crash, I brought the car back to Honda and the rear arm bracket broke off due to excessive rust however Honda states it was repaired and there is nothing they can do, they won't even look at the vehicle.
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?
TPMS light ? (bad sensor in one of the tires?) -TPMS light ? Will sometimes come on ? When tire pressure is checked (normally set at 35 psi) tires are all in range -issue first started when I increased tire pressures in anticipation of cold weather ? Seems to be okay when at 35 psi -last time TPMS light came on was 1/12/15 ? Driving at highway speeds ? Went off when I stopped to get gas ? Came on again at highway speeds ? When pressure was checked morning of 1/13/15 ? Oleft front tire was at 30 psi oright front tire was at 33 psi oleft rear tire was at 34 psi oright rear tire was at 33 psi ?tires were all then set to 35 psi ? Light has/has not come on since.
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!!!!!
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.
Noise coming from the front while driving. My mechanic told me not to worry about wheel bearing as my car was relatively new(~20,000 miles). This problem started irritating me and hence took to a different mechanic and found out that front driver side wheel bearing was shot and had to be replaced. I am glad I did not get any kind of safety problems until then.
Warning for tire signal came on dash indicating a problem with tire pressure (again). I went to a local tire dealer for air and pressure check only to be advised that all 4 of my yokohama tires hat one inch plus of dry rot. These tires are about one year old, have approx. 35,000 miles on them and my vehicle has an outstanding service record. Copies of receipts show that every 40,000 miles I purchased new tires. All work and all part purchases have been done 100% at Honda dealer-jack matia in elyria, ohio. The only service performed out of the dealer is twice a year detail service done at a reputable detail shop in westlake, ohio. Upon my contacting the dealer and visiting them, they could not explain how this could be missed and never witnessed "dry rot". …
1st failure was tires in rear of the vehicle were worn on the inside causing the tire to deflate. Returned to the dealer asking them what happened. They blamed the tire manufacturer. Put new tires on had all the necessary dealer scheduled maintenance. Rotation ect. The new tires installed at 42,000 began to shimmy badly in the rear of the vehicle at 63,000 miles. Took the vehicle to a Honda dealer in fl and the tires had to be replaced in the rear because of the same wear as the 1st set. The rear suspension can not be adjusted to correct this problem. The solution was after market (not Honda mfg parts) with an adjustable arm. The camber can now be adjusted to make the vehicle safe to drive, the tires would have worn out in an area not easy to see an cause a blowout at high speed would be a real problem. Honda corp will not admit fault. …
Both the left side OEM tires on my Honda crv 2007 model blew up on me while changing lanes. I did not hit anything and have been rotating them as recommended by Honda (all the servicing on the vehicle were done at the Honda dealership where I bough the car). Luckily, I was on a local road at 40 MPH so I could keep my car under control. I have looked at the forums and have found that many other 2007 crv customers are complaining about the abnormal wear on their OEM (in my case continental) tires. I took the car to a Honda dealer who recommended that I should change all four tires- which cost me close to $1000. My car only had 29000 miles on it. Honda apparently blames the tire manufacturer and wants its customers to complain directly to the tire maker. This is absurd since thee are many components in the car that Honda did not make on its own. …
Engine and vsa warning lights came on for our 2007 Honda CR-v. Honda dealer said it was our timing chain and that this was a typical problem with cars over 100,000 miles. Honda supposedly had solved this problem with their belts by going to the chain. Our car had 98,000 miles on it. The cost to fix this was $1,600.00! Driving the CR-v right after this problem was fixed the TPMS alarm came on. Now we have to pay even more to have this fixed and due to high repair costs cannot get fixed right away, so left driving without this safety system. Talked to dealer was no help and Honda of America was no help. They said it was because we did not change the oil as we should. The Honda CR-v maintenance book said to change oil when the oil change warning light comes on, this is what we did each and every time, but Honda said we should change before that! …
