The car is subject to a safety recall. I have contacted 2 Honda dealers to inspect this car. They will not schedule an inspection because the parts to repair it are on back order. The national Honda rep has told me not to drive the car and that the dealers should give me a loaner since the car will either need to be repaired or totally scrapped. The dealers will not even look at the car until they have the parts and I have explained that it is possible that the car will NOT be reparable--in which case Honda will buy it back from me. I think they are refusing to inspect the car because they don't want to give anyone a loaner while waiting for the back ordered parts. I've asked the national HOnda people to contact the local dealers to explain the correct process for dealing with this recall but they say they don't have any control over independently owned Honda dealers.

I was driving down a road on the way to take my son to his swim team training. I got about f 5 min away from our home and I felt a large clunk, almost as if I ran something over that was large. I had difficulty steering my vehicle, had a loud weird noise coming from the vehicle, and pulled over. I inspected the vehicle outside, I hit nothing. wheels looked fine. I popped open the hood and started to inspect, it was getting dark so it was difficult to see. I found that the engine mount bolts had sheared clean off of the engine, causing the engine to drop, cracking the engine bracket and the engine almost falling out of the vehicle onto the ground. It it was not for the cross member below it may have completely fallen out.. the vehicle had to be towed as it was not drivable at this point. I had the vehicle towed to Schlossmanns Honda in Greenfield WI for repair. Currently my vehicle is at a Honda dealer being inspected for corrosion as I live in the rust belt and there is a recall for corrosion on this vehicle.

2011 Honda CR-V. Excessive rear frame corrosion resulted in rear control arm separation from vehicle. This was subject of recall in Canada but Honda USA not recalling here (upstate NY). Honda has recalled the Ridgeline and Element for very similar issue. The Issue caused me to almost crash and could have been injured. Rear driver side wheel came loose and went sideways causing me to skid off road. Passenger side of vehicle is near failure also. Vehicle gave no indication of failure before it happened. I had recently had wheel alignment and annual NYS safety inspections. Have been talking to Honda and dealer for 5 months. Refusing to help.

Rust hole found in unibody at passenger's side rear where trailing arm bolts to vehicle in front of passenger's side rear wheel. Because this is so close to the bolt for the trailing arm, this is an immediate safety issue. Hole originally there but rust caused it to enlarge significantly. The trialing arm could break at any point and cause a severe crash. I was about to go on a long road trip and very likely this could have broken. Consumer stated the safety issue is caused by a design flaw in the 2007-2011 Honda CR-V models and in fact a recall for this issue has happened in Canada. The issue was discovered by my local mechanic during a routine oil change and tire rotation. There were no warnings, messages, or symptoms. After researching I found that this exact issue is being recalled in Canada but not in the United States. I live in Vermont and experience the same harsh winters and salted roads as Canada. Shocked that this is not a recall in my area.

Power train, Structure, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Sep 7, 2012, crash
I WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE IN A CROWDED MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WHEN MY 2011 HONDA CR-V ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED INTO THE CEMENT POLE BEHIND ME. CONFUSED, I PUT THE CAR IN 'DRIVE' TO PULL MYSELF AWAY FROM THE POLE, WHEN THE CAR ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED FORWARD TOWARD THE SPOT I WAS ORIGINAL IN HITTING AND CONTINUALLY PUSHING A PARKED MINI-VAN, WHICH IN TURN PUSHED AND KEPT PUSHING THE PARKED CAR NEXT TO IT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND ONCE AGAIN WENT IN REVERSE, CRASHING INTO THE SAME CEMENT POLE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I BORE DOWN ON THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN 'PARK". IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS ALL OCCURRED IN SECONDS AND WAS TERRIFYING...I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITNESSES IN THE MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WERE STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS HEARING THE LOUD ROAR OF THE ENGINE. *TR

MY CAR WAS 10 DAYS OLD AND THE BUMPER STARTED PEELING. TOOK ME A LOT OF JUMPING HOOPS, PHONE CALLS, LETTERS, AND DAYS OFF WORK TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT WAS REALLY A NIGHTMARE. 6 MONTHS LATER 6/22/2012 THE REAR BUMPER STARTED PEELING. THEY FIXED IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS . LESS THAN ANOTHER MONTH NOW IT IS PEELING AT THE LIFT GATE UNDER THE HANDLE TO OPEN AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT AND SEE WHAT IT IS DOING THEN SEE IF THEY APPROVE IT AND BACK TO JUMPING HOOPS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 9 MONTHS OLD. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PAINT ON THESE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PAINT DOESN'T STICK WELL TO PLASTIC BUT I HAVE LOTS OF DINGS I HAVE HAD TO FILL IT CHIPS VERY EASILY ALSO. I HAVE A TOYOTA WITH ALMOST 300K THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE LOOKS OF MY NEW CAR THAT STAYS PARKED DUE TO ME BEING SCARED TO DRIVE B/C IT MIGHT PEEL OR CHIP. THIS IS NUTS. I WANT IT FIXED AND OR TRADED AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH THIS IS RIDICULOUS WITH A NEW CAR TO HAVE TO LOSE PAY TO GO 150 MILES TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT THEN SCHEDULE THE APPT 150 MILES AND THEN 150 MILES TO GET IT, BUT ALSO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK FOR BOTH. IT IS LOSS OF PAY, COST OF GAS, TIME AND IS GETTING REALLY TIRING! *TR
