2007 Honda CR-V

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!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM DETACH FROM THE CHASSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THE CHASSIS WAS RUSTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IT IS MORE OF A CONCERN THAN A COMPLAINT AS OF RIGHT NOW. TRANSPORT CANADA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2007-2011 HONDA CR-VS (HTTPS://WWWAPPS.TC.GC.CA/SAF-SEC-SUR/7/VRDB-BDRV/SEARCH-RECHERCHE/DETAIL.ASPX?LANG=ENG&RN=2019025) THAT OPERATE IN ONTARIO, QUEBEC AND MARITIME CANADA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED FOR WINTER ROAD DE-ICING. I LIVE IN STATE WHICH BORDERS QUEBEC. WE HAVE A SIMILAR CLIMATE AND RELY HEAVILY ON ROAD SALT FOR WINTER ROAD DE-ICING. THE RECALL ISSUED BY TRANSPORT CANADA (# 2019025) IDENTIFIES THAT ROAD SALT CAN CAUSE THE REAR FRAME TO RUST. AND THIS CORROSION COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A REAR-TRAILING ARM SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS PROVIDED A REMEDY. VEHICLES ARE INSPECTED TO ASCERTAIN THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLES THAT PASS THE INSPECTION ARE APPLIED A SEALANT TO PROTECT AGAINST FUTURE CORROSION. VEHICLES THAT FAIL THE INSPECTION ARE EITHER REPAIRED OR BOUGHT BACK BY HONDA. GIVEN THAT USAGE OF ROAD SALT IN NORTHEASTERN STATES THAT BORDER CANADA IS MOST LIKELY COMPARABLE TO THE IDENTIFIED REGION WHERE THE TRANSPORT CANADA RECALL APPLIES, SHOULDN'T VEHICLES OPERATING IN REGIONS OF THE US THAT RELY HEAVILY ON ROAD SALT BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME LEVEL OF SAFETY SCRUTINY?

BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN 2008 WITH 18,000 MILES. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS BEGAN TO REALIZE THERE WAS A DEFINITE PULL TO THE RIGHT. WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND MENTIONED THIS PULL. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY PULL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THIS WEEK THEY SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PULL AND THEY SUGGESTED AN ALIGNMENT AND MANY OTHER MAINTENANCE TASKS TOTALING $3,700. I REPLACED MY TIRES AND THIS HELPED SOME WHAT, BUT THE PULL STILL EXISTS. AFTER CHECKING VARIOUS SITES, I'VE COME TO REALIZE PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN HONDA CR-VS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL BEARING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

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. I SEE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I EXPERIENCED. THE EXTENDED VEHICLE INS. I PURCHASED WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY HONDA HAS MODIFIED THIS PART AND THEY WILL NOT PAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE MY TIRE FAILURE OCCUR AT A SLOW SPEED. AT 70 MPG IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD AND EVERYONE WOULD HAVE BLAMED THE TIRES. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE'S UNABLE TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO STOP ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. HONDA AND ALL THE DEALERS ARE IN DENIAL OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CR-V AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 7000 MILES. THE TIRE NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER AS THE MILES GREW. BY 18,000 MILES I COULDN'T TAKE IT AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE CUPPED AND NEEDED REPLACED. I PUT NEW TIRES ON AND HAD IT ALIGNED BY THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET IT IN SPEC AND REPLACED THE REAR SPRINGS. THEY ALIGNED IT, BUT I STILL HAD TIRE NOISE. DEALER SAID I BOUGHT CHEAP ($125/PC) TIRES . THESE TIRES ARE ALSO NOW CUPPED SO BAD AT 50,000 MILES THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THEM, A 70K TIRE WITH ONLY 30K ON THEM. I ALSO SMELL HOT RUBBER ON THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE MUCH LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, AND ONLY THIS TIRE. COINCIDENTLY THIS ONE IS THE CUPPED NOISE MAKER. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV PRODUCED IN JAPAN HAS DEFECTIVE SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLIES WHICH ALLOW THE CAR TO BOUNCE UNDAMPED ON ROUGH ROAD SURFACES AND CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL. THE US MANUFACTURED UNITS DO NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. ADDITIONALLY HONDA LISTS DIFFERENT REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE US AND JAPANESE BUILT 2007 MODELS SO THE PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. *TR
