2010 Honda CR-V Electrical Problems

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.

Our vehicle started to jerk whenever it is at low gear. The check engine light goes on and off. The traction control light goes on and off. And an error code came up: p060a. The vehicle has stalled 2x after moderately jerking multiple times while driving @ 50m/hr. The air conditioning blows hot air after a few minutes of it running. We have checked recalls for the particular make, model and year and it is showing the classic vehicle recalls from Honda. Unfortunately, our VIN number shows that it was not part of the recalled vehicle. We have gone through Honda hoping that they could at least do a diagnostic run and verify if it is a possible recall issue, but they will only do it if we pay for everything. Please help.

I purchased my CRV from Roseville Honda about 5 years ago and recently 3 of my 5 lock actuators have gone out in the car making the doors unable to open. My vehicle is able to be inspected and I drive it daily. Upon research it was known when they had sold me my car that the actuators in these cars needed to be replaced and failed to do so or to tell me. Mine and my child's safety is at risk with the weather as hot as it is if we get locked in a hot car or out of the car with nowhere to go on these hot days it could be dangerous and even deadly. I have not had the vehicle inspected by the dealer but by my father who is a mechanic. Prior warnings would be my doors automatically locking while driving repeatedly since I bought the car. Case ID: 2:13-cv-00381 this is the case of the prior lawsuit filed by other Honda owners with the same issue so this was known before Roseville Honda sold me my car. I have contacted them about this as well as the 800# and have been told I need to pay $190 for a diagnostic and my car is out of warranty so they cannot help me.

I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY 2010 HONDA CRV. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. WHEN IT IS HOT, IT BLOWS HOT AIR EVEN WHEN IT IS SET ON THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE. HOWEVER, WHEN IT IS NIGHTTIME IT WILL BLOW COLD AIR. HONDA EVACUATED AND RECHARGED THE SYSTEM ONLY FOR ME TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES TWO MONTHS LATER. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE AC COMPRESSOR, COIL SET, CLUTCH SET, ETC. I WENT TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR WOULD NOT EVEN POWER ON DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IN RELATION TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES, MY CAR ALSO STALLED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THAT ISSUE RECTIFY WITHOUT TAKING IT TO HONDA.
