Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Airbags
Reports naming the air-bag system — deployment behaviour, inflators, sensors and warning lights.
From owner reports, verbatim
Air bag light on
Got this vehicle about a year and a half ago at full price from local dealership. It looks like it has been pieced together with many other hondas. The check engine light has been on ever since. The car keeps yet no camera. Just tried to get inspected. So far charged 2500 but was given a pass on inspection only for the light to come back on. I noticed on the back of repair paperwork this car has 2 airbag recalls. I feel duped I feel like this is attempted murder. I feel scared and sad. Something must be done with used car purchases
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION, while foot on the brake. This caused us to have an accident hitting cemented poles in front of a store. Our CRV was badly smashed in the front, making it undriveable. There was three of in the vehicle getting jolted and jerked. I believe this problem needs to be looked into, before someone else is hurt.
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.
Body & structure
Reports naming the vehicle structure, frame, body panels, doors, hood and trim.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2010 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while the contact's mother was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was erractically shaking. The vehicle was driven to the contact's mother's residence. The contact's mother contacted an independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed with a corroded trailing arm and rear suspension. The contact was informed that the trailing arm and rear suspension needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact's mother stated that a recall, NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure) was performed in September 2023. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The driver’s door lock will not lock or cycles up and down when trying to unlock the door. This is a 2010 Honda CR-V. There is a recall on the same part for the 2007 to 2009 Honda CR-V (Honda Service Bulletin 14-083). The recall needs to be extended to the 2010 Honda CR-V vehicle.
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
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.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2010 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 157,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 191,000.
Driver assistance
Reports naming forward-collision avoidance, lane keeping, back-over prevention, cruise control and related electronic driver-assistance systems.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2010 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The engine was idling high, and the vehicle independently accelerated onto the curb. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. The vehicle then independently accelerated and rolled backwards into a tree before coming to a stop. The contact stated that the crash had occurred in the residential parking lot. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer repaired the damage to the structure of the vehicle. No injuries were sustained. A Police report was not filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 100,283.

Powertrain (other)
Powertrain reports that are not specifically the engine or transmission — driveshafts, axles, transfer cases and differentials.
From owner reports, verbatim
Car cames to a stop and instead of stopping straight up it stops and the car frame and suspension still moves. The suspension can cause a wreak for not stoping in time. Also when i put it in neutral it goes backwards on flat ground other then forward. So something is wrong with the shifter or the sway bars also when u put it in park some times it still moves forward
Ref: NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-228 Per advice from Honda, I contacted the dealer for recall disposition. They informed me that if the vehicle fails inspection and cannot be repaired, Honda will not return the vehicle and offer a cash compensation instead. This is unfair because: 1. Such impounding of vehicle is not mentioned in their notice (attached with this form). The words used are "may offer to repurchase the vehicle from you" 2. Not returning the vehicle and unilaterally offering a cash compensation is unethical business practice. I sincerely request NHTSA to take up the issue with Honda and ensure that a full repair be done even if the inspection fails. It might cost them more but they must do it. In case the vehicle cannot be repaired, it must be declared as totaled and an independent insurance adjuster must determine the cash compensation value and not Honda.
Brakes
Reports naming service brakes, the antilock braking system, brake hoses, master cylinders or the parking brake.
From owner reports, verbatim

Interior & seats
Reports naming seats, latches, locks, linkages and interior fittings.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2010 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while driving at various speeds, she heard an abnormal sound located in the front passenger’s and rear driver’s side doors. The contact stated that while operating the remote lock/unlock feature for the doors, the trunk unlocked. The contact stated that she had to manually unlock/lock the front passenger’s and rear driver’s side doors. The contact was concerned for her safety in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the contact stated that the day she purchased the vehicle, she informed the dealer that the door locks were not functioning properly. The dealer inspected the door locks but could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000. The contact stated that the trunk as well as locks will not open while using the key and that while driving daily the locks continue to make noises off and on through out the entire time of driving, which is a distraction. She has to manually and forcefully unlock and lock the front passenger driver side door as well as the back left passenger side door to get in and out of the vehicle and if not for manually unlocking either door the trunk will not open at all.
One month ago, car locks would randomly lock and unlock while driving. Now the Driver side front door lock actuator stopped working. I cannot open door manually from the inside or unlock the door with the key from the outside. Now I can only exit the car by the passenger door and leave the car unlocked otherwise I can't get in if it's locked.
Suspension
Reports naming suspension components — springs, struts, shocks, control arms and related hardware.

Good afternoon, I'll try to keep this as brief as possible; I'm sure you can recontact me if you need additional information. This is not an incident, rather an issue related to the current recall 23V-228 for my 2010 Honda CRV. In 1/2023, the garage advised my Honda would not pass Maine State Safety Inspection due to the severe rust on the frame and where the left rear lower control arm (LCA) attached to the frame. They advised it could detach/break off, and my ability to steer safely to a stop would be affected. I took it to the Honda dealership and they confirmed it was unsafe to drive unless the rust and frame could be repaired. The dealer did not mention this was a common problem or any upcoming recalls for this issue. In 2/2023, I found a body shop that was able to repair the corrosion on the frame and the connection point for the LCA. I paid $1600, and the car passed Maine State Safety Inspection at the same garage that identified the problem. In 5/2023, I received the Honda safety recall referenced above, which states "you may be eligible for reimbursement if you paid for recall repairs out of pocket." I called the 888 # on the recall, received an email from American Honda, and replied to their email with the documents they requested, including the repair invoice. After recontacting American Honda a second time in 8/23, and a third time in 9/23, they advised they did not receive the document in 5/23, and I should resend the repair invoice. I received a call from American Honda on 10/16/2023, during which time they stated I was not eligible for reimbursement. This was due to the fact the repair invoice did not specifically state: “Trailing arm holder kit was replaced”. My case (#XXX) was closed. I read in a Part 574 Safety Recall Report, "Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense will be eligible for reimbursement, in accord with the recall reimbursement plan on file with NHTSA." Do I qualify for reimbursement? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

2010 Honda CR-V. Based on a HONDA dealer report and diagnosed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 27, 2022. The A/C compressor, coil and A/C system clutch burned out during a trip through high dessert on Interstate 15 north from California to a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. Temperature 107 degrees, heavy raining and in the middle of flash warning storm. According with Mechanic and HONDA Service advisors at Nevada's HONDA dealership, the A/C compressor's friction also, most likely rested engine power and proper performance to engine water pump and engine alternator. During this incident, we (My spouse and I) were so concerned of vehicle total engine failure and monitored engine temperature constantly, during remaining part of the trip. We continued traveling at reduced speed at approximately 40 miles per hour due to heavy rain and high altitude. We were forced to stop and reduce the speed to 15 miles per hour due to lack of visibility and poor engine performance and lack of power. The A/C compressor and A/C clutch burned-out completed, and A/ C ceased to fully operate. Cost of repair is estimated at $2,934.55 This incident has similar conditions and A/C system failure, as previously reported in NHTSA complaint No. 10056005
MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK CONTINUOUSLY. MY HI BEAMS WORK AND THE DAY RUNNING LIGHTS WORK BUT THE LOW BEAMS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS ON A DARK HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY LOW BEAMS WERE NOT WORKING BUT WHEN I SWITCHED TO MY HI BEAMS THEY WORKED FINE. LATER DATES THE LOW BEAMS WORKED AND THEN DIDN'T WORK ON OTHER DATES. HAVE READ MANY INSTANCES ON LINE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THE CR-V. DIFFERENT YEARS THAN MINE BUT CR-VS JUST THE SAME. ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS WAS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2016. I ONLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN DECEMBER 2017 PROBLEM WHEN I WAS ON A DARK ROAD AND HIGHWAY. I DON'T USUALLY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE INTO HONDA TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ANALYZED. MY CR-V HAS LESS THAN 54,000 MILES. WAS LAST SERVICED AUGUST 14, 2017.

I PURCHASED AND ALWAYS SERVICED MY 2010 CR-V WITH GARDEN STATE HONDA AND THEY HAVE SERVICE DOCUMENTATION FROM AS EARLY AS NOVEMBER 2010 REGARDING A COMPLAINANTS A METAL NOISE 'DROPPING' IN THROUGH UNDER MY VEHICLE PURCHASED IN 2010 AS EARLY AS NOV 2010 AND CONTINUING EVERY YEAR TO FOLLOW UP TO THIS PRESENT DATE. NOW IT HAS BEEN 'DISCOVERED' TO BE AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I AM STARTING TO TAKE IT PERSONALLY THAT BEING A WOMAN I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CARS AND THAT ANY FUNNY NOISE IS JUST SOMETHING A WOMAN WOULD SAY. HOWEVER, IT IS A FACT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES NOT ADDRESS WITH MY CAR UNTIL THE WARRANTEE ENDED AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTEE IS ALSO COMING TO A CLOSE. OVER MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE, OTHER COMPLAINANTS MENTIONED I HAVE MADE PRIOR TO THE FIVE YEAR WARRANTEE WERE NOT DETECTED, BUT NOW HAVE SURFACED AFTER THE WARRANTEE ENDED. I PURCHASED THE 2010 CRV WITH THE AGREEMENT OF MAKING BI-WEEKLY PAYMENTS AND HAVING THE WARRANTEE EXTENDED. MY MOST RECENT SERVICE; COMPLAINANT OF NOISES SEEMED THAT HAS GONE UNFOUNDED OR COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE NOISE/PROBLEM WAS FINALLY FOUND AFTER I RETURN TO RETRIEVE MY VEHICLE FOR A THIRD TIME AND AFTER PAYING A SERVICE BILL OF NEARLY $700.00 ON THE FIRST RETURN. AFTER TAKING IT ON A ROAD TEST, THE PROBLEM EXISTED AND MY CAR NOW PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE CAR REMAINED AND WHEN I RETURNED TO GET MY VEHICLE AS NO ISSUE COULD BE FOUND AND THEY 'GAVE ME A FREE ALIGNMENT'. TECHNICIAN,'IZZY' AND MYSELF DID ROAD TEST & DUPLICATED THE NOISE AGAIN (EXISTING SINCE 2010)' DUPLICATING IT MULITIPLE TIMES; NOW FIND OUT AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION EXISTS. PREVIOUSLY, HONDA OF WHITE PLAINS DID OIL CHANGE & SAID TO RETURN TO GSH AS REAR BRAKES WERE SEIZING. THAT WAS FIXED AFTER TWO SERVICE TRIPS TO GSH. MR. TIMOTHY MAHON (RIP) HEARD IT BUT I GUESS DEAD MEN CAN TELL NO TALES.
