2009 Honda CR-V Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle overheated and the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 188,000.

Car suddenly slows down to about 18 mph. Cannot speed back up. Has happened several times in traffic. Left overnight one time and started next morning. Second time, left overnight and would not start next morning. Turned off and on, off and on, finally ran normally. Then, same day, while driving in traffic, same thing happened. Slowed down to about 18 mph and barely made it back home. Honda dealer says no open recall for this car?????? Have a recall no.: 19E068000 given to me by my mechanic.

THE CAR STARTED TO LEAK OIL AT ABOUT 55000 MILES. THE OIL LEAKS BETWEEN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THE HONDA DEALER CHECKED AND SAID IT MAY BE CAUSED BY THE GALLERY BOLT AND SEAL, THE PART NUMBERS ARE 12208-P8C-A01 AND 90401-PR4-000 AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THEM, IT'S 16 HOURS' WORK. IT'S SO UNRELIABLE AND COSTLY TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAL PLUG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

UPON TURNING ENGINE ON AND EVEN WHEN THE FAN/AC IS TURNED OFF AND #35 FUSE REMOVED, AC LINE IS COLD AND LOUD SOUND COMING FROM AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ALONG WITH SMOKE. *TR

A RATTLING NOISE ERUPTED FROM UNDERNEATH MY 2009 CRV, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE HEAT SHIELDS MOUNTS ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE RUSTED THROUGH AT THE MOUNTS AND WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IN ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2010. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELDS WERE BEING HELD ON BY RADIATOR HOSE CLAMPS. THIS MEANS THAT IN JUST ONE YEAR THE MOUNTS TO THE HEAT SHIED WERE ALREADY RUSTED THROUGH. I PURCHASED THIS FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL AND NOT COVERED THROUGH THE RUST WARRANTY. HEAT SHIELDS ARE THERE FOR A REASON AND IN ORDER TO PREVENT FIRES. *TR

AS THE DRIVER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE UNDER 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER HAD JUST REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCELERATION THERE WAS NO CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE STRUCK A CEMENT BARRIER. (THERE IS A POLICE REPORT FILED FOR INSPECTION) THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS $ 2,500. THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED AND NO INJURIES REPORTED. *TR

HONDA CRV 2009 THE EXHAUST PIPE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE IS DAMAGING THE TIRE AND THE SMELL IS ENTERING THE CABIN. THERE IS A SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER WHEN PARKING CAR AFTER DRIVING. THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRE HAD PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BELT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONDITION CONTINUES ON THE NEW TIRE. SUGGEST WRAPPING THE EXHAUST PIPE WITH A LENGTH OF INSULATING TAPE TO PROTECT THE TIRE FROM HEAT DAMAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS SECURING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER RUSTED AND FAILED. ALSO, THE SHIELD HOLDING THE CONVERTER AND BOLTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

WHILE STOPPING OR STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT(S), WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, ENGINE REVVED UP TO 2K RPM WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON MY PART. WHEN LIGHT CHANGED, AND BRAKE WAS RELEASED, ACCELERATION AND CAR PERFORMANCE BECAME NORMAL AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN THE PAST SIX WEEKS. IN ADDITION, TURNING THE A/C OFF OR ON HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE RPM. NOTE: DURING THE ANOMALY, IF TRANSMISSION WAS MOVED FROM D TO N, ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO 5K RPM, AND WOULD DROP BACK TO 2K RPM WHEN TRANSMISSION PUT BACK INTO D ALL THIS HAPPENED WITH FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE. FOR THE RECORD: CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ANOMALY, THE MEMORY DUMPED, AND NO DATA FOUND. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR
