2010 Honda CR-V

The vehicle has confirmed severe structural rust/rot on the rear axle where the trailing arm mounts according to an independent service center, mirroring NHTSA Recall 23V228 but Tennessee dealerships refuse to look into the recall, although the car was previously registered and owned in New Jersey and New York according to CARFAX reports (both designated salt-belt states) before being moved to Florida then Tennessee. The mechanic states the car is unsafe to drive in this condition.

On XXX brought my 2010 Honda CR-V to Honda Westborough in [XXX] to have driver's side rear tire for leaking air and the TPMS light had come on briefly in the past but it was not on permanently when I brought the car in for service. The dashboard had no light on. They informed me that the tire was "leaking from puncture" and that they will "plug the tire." They charged me $39.95 to reseal tire even though it didn't work. They gave me an appointment for Wednesday, XXX. I was not informed that I would be paying the parts ahead of time on XXX. Then was informed they were not able to reseal the tire and they also mounted a temporary spare tire without prior authorization or notice, returning the car in a physically altered and restricted driving state. He also never mentioned that the TPMS sensor was also corroded. I drove with the spare tire until XXX. The TPMS light remained on with the spare tire. XXX they told me that they were not able to put the TPMS sensor back on because it was corroded and since I couldn't afford to purchase a new one they put in simple valve and I will have to drive with the light on indefinitely. The advisor told me that I would just need to keep checking the tire air with my eyes. Their invoice with services provided was very vague and lacks transparency. Authorized dealer Honda Westborough knowingly made a federally mandated safety system (TPMS) inoperative during service in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 30122(b) and Massachusetts Attorney General Auto Repair Regulations (940 CMR 5.00). The vehicle's TPMS light was off upon arrival, but the dealer removed the sensor, replaced it with a standard rubber valve stem, and released the vehicle with the safety warning system permanently disabled." This prolonged usage directly caused the rear differential to overheat and suffer total mechanical failure four weeks later, requiring a $2229.84 repair at an independent shop.

My 2010 Honda CR-V is subject to a rear subframe safety recall. The issue was initially addressed by a dealership approximately 1.5 years ago, which stated the vehicle was safe to drive. I disagreed. At Honda’s direction, I took the vehicle to another dealership, which confirmed the defect and determined the vehicle to be unsafe in October 2025. I was told the vehicle was unsafe to drive at this point. The vehicle has been out of service and has remained at the dealership since October 2025 and remains unusable. Despite this, Honda has not provided a buyback offer or any timeline for resolution. It has now been over six months since the vehicle was deemed unsafe and over a year and a half since the issue was first identified. Honda has failed to provide a remedy within a reasonable time for a safety recall, leaving me without a usable vehicle.

Cruise Control Significant safety. 2/13/2026. The first time I experienced my car made sudden high-speed acceleration, brain starts scrambling, what's going on? Ok cruise controls on, turned it off, tapped brake. Now with Cruise Control Off, I had to keep in contact with the accelerator to manually maintain speed. I had to pay much attention to my speed. Was towing a very small travel trailer, about 750#. The above actions stopped the sudden acceleration. Got my speed back under control. Thought since the problem was resolved quickly along with me disbelieving what just happened, I turned Cruise Control back ON. So, I got my speed back to where it should be and put Cruise Control ON. And, again it didn't happen right away, but when it did, it was exactly the same sudden acceleration. Vehicle to a Honda dealer next week. No warning signs or sounds, either before or after the incident, both occurrences.
