2010 Honda CR-V Brakes Problems

Unintended Acceleration, no braking possible due to brakes not responding, had to maneuver at high speed to avoid people and vehicles in parking lot. Had to choose going over curb flew over bushes before able to safely stop car. Vehicle being sent to dealer for inspection. There were no warnings 0f any sort prior to failure.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHNSON CITY HONDA (2806 N ROAN ST, JOHNSON CITY, TN 37601) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 30,000 MILES (ON AVERAGE APPROXIMATELY 5,500 MILES A YEAR). IT HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO UNUSUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS OF ANY TYPE. THE BRAKE ROTORS HAVE RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR HONDA CR-V MODEL YEARS 2007 - 2010. HONDA MADE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO CORRECT THE DEFECT ON SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP, CRISWELL HONDA IN GERMANTOWN, MD, CHARGED ME TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DEFECT. THE ROTORS HAVE NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO "WEAR AND TEAR" . MY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER HAVE INDICATED THAT HONDA IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS ESSENTIALLY INDIFFERENT TO THE DEFECT AND INSISTS UPON CHARGING THE CUSTOMER FOR THE REPAIR. BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT BRAKE DEFECT IT IS NOT AT ALL CLEAR THAT THE "REPAIR" WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE THE ROTOR RESURFACE INVOICE BUT THERE IS NO DISPUTE THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR A "REPAIR" THAT DID NOT FIX THE DEFECT. THERE MAY BE A TECHNICAL MEMO FROM HONDA TO DEALERSHIPS THAT REFERENCES THE PROBLEM. PLEASE CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA TO DISCUSS THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE HEARD FROM THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE. THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE ROTORS. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR A MECHANIC. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

INCREDIBLY FAST WEAR ON ONE LEFT REAR BRAKE PADS AND GRINDING SOUND AT ALL SPEEDS. VISUALLY CHECKED ALL THE BRAKES - THE PADS ON ALL 3 ARE NORMAL WITH LITTLE WEAR, BUT THE LEFT REAR IS TOTALLY WORN. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. ALSO THE ROTORS ARE WORN UNEVEN WITH "PITTED" SURFACE. THIS IS NOT THE DUE TO A USAGE, BUT DUE TO SOME MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS SEVERE - I CAN NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE!!! *TR

I PURCHASED MY CRV FROM HERSONS HONDA ON JANUARY 28, 2010 WITH 13 MILES. I DID MY A1 MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON JUNE 14, 2010 WITH 4,676 MILES AND MY B1 SERVICE WAS DONE ON SEPT. 18, 2010 WITH 9,853 MILES. BOTH SERVICES WERE COMPLETED AT HERSONS HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IN NOV. I CALLED HERSONS HONDA SERVICE DEPART. TO REPORT PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL SINKING TO THE FLOOR AND SLIDING FORWARD WHILE I AM WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THE SERVICE DEPART. INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL WITH HONDAS AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONCERN. ON THE CONTRARY, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ON DEC. 14, MY COLLEAGUE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN A RAMP IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN FAILED AND CAUSED ME CONSIDERABLE DISTRESS AS I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY PASSENGER. ON DEC. 15, 2010, I TOOK MY CRV TO HERSONS SERVICE DEPART. FOR INSPECTION. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED, ALL THE SEALS ARE SWOLLEN, IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT WILL COST ME $5402.00 TO REPAIR IT. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TO FIND OUT HOW MY BRAKE FLUID GOT CONTAMINATED AND WHEN THEY COULD REPAIR IT SINCE MY CAR WAS ONLY 12,566 MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, SUGGESTING IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I REQUESTED FOR THE PHONE NUMBER OF AMERICAN HONDA AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND COME BACK TO ME. TO DATE MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AND IT HAS BEEN WITH HERSON'S HONDA FOR OVER 30 DAYS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,500.

SERVICE DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN MADE REGARDING A COMPLAINANT OF A METAL NOISE DROPPING FROM THE VEHICLE AS OF NOV 2010 AND BASICALLY EVERY YEAR TO FOLLOW. I DID PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED IT IS AN INTERNAL ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY $1600. IT SEEMED THAT MOST COSTLY ISSUES REALLY BEGAN TO SURFACE AFTER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTEE. HOWEVER IT SEEMED THAT NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT AFTER A THIRD RETURN AND TAKING THE VEHICLE OUT AND REPRODUCING THE NOISE/PROBLEM I HAVE COMPLAINED OF SINCE MY ORIGINAL PURCHASE NO HAS BEEN "DISCOVERED". I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES ON THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME I HAVE MAINTAINED ITS SERVICE SINCE IT HAS BEEN PURCHASED WITH GARDEN STATE HONDA. THEY HAVE BEEN POLITE, TRIED TO PROVIDE A REASON FOR THE NOISE WHICH WERE NOT AS I DESCRIBED. A METAL CLANK/DROP NOISE IS NOT THE SAME AS THE PLASTIC FLAP RUBBING ON THE TIRE. I HAVE BEEN ENGAGED TO A MECHANIC AND CLEARLY KNOW THIS WAS A POOR EXCUSE. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED COVERAGE UNTIL APRIL 2017. I HAVE ALSO BEEN PROVIDED AN EXCUSE THAT MY CAR TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY AS THE CAR MUST NOT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN IN SOME TIME (THE TIRES APPEAR TO HAVE THAT STATIONARY MARK). THE CAR IS DRIVEN DAILY. IT MAY NOT BE FAR DISTANCES, BUT THAT'S NOT A REASON FOR WHY WEARING UNEVENLY.

BRAKES WON'T STOP CAR AND GAS SURGING, NEED TO PLACE GEAR TO PARK TO LOWER THE SURGING OF THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY CAR IS A HONDA CRV EX PURCHASED NEW W/160 ODOMETER READING ON DEC. 27 2009 AT SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA INC , TORRANCE, CA. *TR
