2011 Honda CR-Z Problems

I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE AT THE REAR OF MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIE ROD OR END AND THE SUSPENSION SHOCK OR STRUT NEED TO BE REPLACE. CAN YOU CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME SO I WILL BE SAFE DRIVING IT. THANK YOU

Air bag light and speed gage are unreliable.

DRIVER DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THEN GOT WORSE SO THAT THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE NO MATTER WHAT. USING PASSENGER DOOR NOW TO GET IN, AND IT IS NOW FAILING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, AND I EXPECT I WILL SOON NEED TO ENTER THROUGH THE REAR HATCH. ONLINE SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON 2011 HONDA CRZ'S.

DOOR LOCKS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHILE USING INTERIOR DOOR LOCK BUTTON OR KEY FOB. PARKING LIGHTS WILL FLASH WHEN KEY FOB BUTTON IS PRESSED. PROBLEM STARTED WITH PASSENGER DOOR FIRST THEN 2 WEEKS LATER DRIVER DOOR STOPPED. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS FAILED LOCK ACTUATORS.

2011 CR-Z PASSENGER CARS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS THE ENGINE STALL WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (ECU) SOFTWARE MAY CAUSE THE ELECTRIC MOTOR OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE SELECTED GEAR. ADDITIONALLY THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS DRAINING NEW 12V BATTERIES WITH LESS THAN A 6 MONTHS USE (SEE ATTACHMENT). VEHICLE MOVEMENT CAUSED BY ENGINE STALL AND LACK OF POWER STEERING COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO THE PERSONS IN THE PATH OF THE MOVING VEHICLE. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ON 2011 HONDA CRZ MANUAL TRANS FOR THE ISSUE MENTIONED ABOVE.

ON 09/04/2018 MY HONDA CR-Z IMA LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY NEVER HAD AN IMA LIGHT COME ON WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BE ON. THEY TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSTICS, AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MY CLUTCH SENSOR IS BAD AND THAT IS WHATS CAUSING THE IMA LIGHT TO BE ON. THE PERSON WHO I SPOKE TO AT HONDA SAID THAT THEY DIAGNOSE ABOUT FORTY CARS A DAY FOR SEVEN YEARS AND NEVER RAN INTO THAT ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT I WOULD BE GOOD DRIVING IT AND WOULD EXPERIENCE MORE PROBLEMS IN ABOUT A YEAR IF I DON'T FIX THE CLUTCH SENSOR ON 9/07/2018 MY CAR HAD A LIGHT COME ON THAT SAID CHECK FUEL CAP WHICH I'M GUESSING MY FUEL SENSOR IS OUT NOW, BUT HONDA IS NO HELP WILL NOT HELP ME OUT CLAIMS THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY WHEN IT HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT.THIS CAN BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF MY IMA BATTERY FAILS ON ME MY LIFE CAN BE IN DANGER ALONG WITH THE OTHERS AROUND ME. ALSO FOR A COMPANY TO CLAIM THEY HAD NEVER RAN INTO THESE ISSUES THEY DO NOT SHOW MUCH INTEREST IN FIXING IT.

On February 15 I took a short drive into Woodstock, Vt. My trip into Woodstock was without incident, except for the fact that I got a "check tire pressure" alert, probably due to the very cold weather. When I finished my business and restarted the car, there was an additional alert: "check power steering". The car previously had no issues with steering. I drove the car to another nearby parking spot. There was no power assist at all. I wrestled the car into the parking space and called AAA for a tow. The tow truck driver arrived in about an hour. He asked for the keys and started the car. The problem had disappeared. With a friend tailing me I drove to a nearby auto repair shop, asked them to investigate and told them I would pick the car up the next day. They called me the next day and informed me that they had connected the car to the computer analyzer and found no problem. They had also driven the car on the day I dropped it off and again the next day and were unable to reproduce the problem. I went online and discovered others have had similar issues: https://www.crzforum.com/threads/scary-power-steering-eps-issue.87738/ and https://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/CR-Z/2011/steering/steering.shtml. I contacted my nearest Honda dealership as well as Honda USA. I received no substantive help from either party, although Honda USA did suggest I bring it to the dealer for repair, which I will attempt to do tomorrow. I don't know what the threshold is for generating a recall, but the possible consequences of this problem are so serious that I wanted to share my experience. My car has less than 30,000 miles.

I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN SEPTEMBER, AND ON THE MORNING OF WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 26, 2014 IT CRASHED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I495-SOUTH. IT WAS RAINING AND I THINK THE CAR HIT A WATER PUDDLE OR SLEET, AND STARTED FISH TAILING. I TRIED TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL, AND I DID FOR A FEW SECONDS AS IT WAS TRYING TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. THEN IT JUST SUDDENLY TOOK OFF TO THE LEFT, VERY STRANGE, ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS EITHER A WHEEL/TIRE ISSUE, TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL OR STEERING WHEEL.. WHATEVER IT WAS IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK OVER AND JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A CRAZY HORSE TO THE LEFT. I WAS LUCKY THERE WERE NO CARS TO THE LEFT! THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF TO THE LEFT AS I HELD THE WHEEL AND COULDN'T GET IT UNDER CONTROL, IT DROVE THROUGH DIVIDERS INTO HOV LANES AND INTO CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDERS. IT WAS THE SCARIEST AND MOST PAINFUL MOMENT OF MY LIFE, I HAVE BEEN PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TRAUMATIZED. EMT, AMBULANCE, FIRETRUCKS AND POLICE ARRIVED, AND THEY HAD TO CUT OFF THE ROOF TO GET ME OUT BECAUSE OF SEVERE BACK PAIN I COULDN'T MOVE, WAS DIZZY AND COULDN'T BREATH WELL. I WAS TAKEN TO TRAUMA IN ER AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 3 DAYS. I FRACTURED MY SPINE, AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 2 MONTHS. I HAD A SURGERY, KYPHOPLASTY, BEEN GOING THROUGH PHYSICAL THERAPY AND NOW CHIROPRACTOR. I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ATHLETIC PERSON I USED TO BE, IT RUINED MY LIFE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT, AS I WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL, I FELT THIS CAR, IT WAS NOT A SAFE CAR, IT HAS ISSUES. I NOTICED YOU HAVE A RECALL FOR 2011 MODELS, FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, AS IT CAN CAUSE CRASH AND INJURY. THE SEATS ARE NOT SAFE, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. I ADVICE EVERYONE AGAINST THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE FIRST ACCIDENT IN MY LIFE! *TR

PREMATURE REAR TIRE WEAR, CUPPING, SCALLOPING. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA REFERENCE #10053304 FOR THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT PACIFIC HONDA ON CONVOY IN SAN DIEGO, CA LOOKED AT ME LIKE I HAD TWO HEADS WHEN I SUGGESTED, DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES WERE WORN THROUGH TO THE TREAD WEAR INDICATORS IN SOME SPOTS AND HAD 60% OF THEIR ORIGINAL TREAD IN OTHERS. HOWEVER, THE HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IT WASN'T COVERED BY HONDA AND IT WOULD BE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE TIRE COMPANY TO PROVIDE ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT UNDER THE SEPARATE TIRE WARRANTY. *TR

I ENTERED I 40 W. FROM THE ENTRANCE RAMP AT EXIT 150 IN STATESVILLE N. C. AND TRAVELED APPROX. 23 MILES TO EXIT RAMP 128 I 40 W. AT CLAIRMONT N.C. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND HAD ACTUATED THE ECON. BUTTON. AS I EXITED THE INTERSTATE I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT GOT NO BRAKING RESPONSE. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME PUSHED THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD, STILL NO RESPONSE. I TRIED THIS A THIRD TIME AND STILL HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE FELT MUSHY AS WHEN THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM OPERATES, BUT DIFFERENTLY IN THAT THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD. AS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR USING THE HAND BREAK. I NOTICED THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 300 FEET TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP SO I DECIDED TO VERY SLOWLY PROCEED TO THE STOP SIGN AND USE THE HANDBRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AT THE STOP SIGN THE FOOT PEDAL BEGAN BREAKING THE CAR ONCE AGAIN. EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. I DROVE THE CAR ON I40 E. BACK TO EXIT 150 AND THE FOOT PEDAL BREAK OPERATED NORMALLY. I TRIED TO REPLICATED THE CONDITIONS WHEN THE BRAKE FAILED, THAT IS I DROVE AT 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON IN THE ECONOMY MODE. AT THE EXIT 150 RAMP THE FOOT PEDAL BRAKE OPERATED NORMALLY AND CONTINUED TO OPERATE NORMALLY ON THE 25TH. AS WELL AS ON THE 26TH. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN STATESVILLE N.C. THEY LISTENED, BLED THE BRAKE LINE, REPLACED THE BREAK FLUID, AND TEST DROVE THE CAR AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTS THEY CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND WERE INFORMED THERE ARE NO KNOWN BRAKE ISSUES WITH THE 2011 HONDA CRZ. MY CONCERN IS THIS INCIDENT MIGHT BE REPEATED BUT WITH A MORE SERIOUS RESULT. *TR

NOTE: THIS IS THE SECOND FRONTAL BASED CRASH LISTED ON THIS SITE FOR A HONDA 2011 CRZ PERHAPS THE DRIVER THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH THE PREVIOUS CRASH DID NOT REALIZE THE BRAKES FAILED. AT APPROXIMATELY 17:17 I NOTICED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND PUSHED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW FOR AT LEAST 1 1/2 CAR LENGTH. IN A PANIC I TRIED TO PRESS HARDER WITH BUT NOTHING HAPPENED THE CAR NEVER SLOWED. THE CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WITH THE FULL FORCE OF FORTY-FORTY FIVE MPH AND TOTALLY COLLAPSED THE ENGINE INTO THE DRIVERS CAB BOTH OF MY KNEES WERE BLEEDING AND SWOLLEN FROM THE IMPACT OF THE ENGINE BEING IN THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD SOMEONE THAT HELPED ME OUT OF THE CAR IT LOOKED LIKE I NEVER PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL. HOW CAN I HONDA CHARGE A PREMIUM WITH RESULTS LIKE THIS AND EXPECT PEOPLE TO COME BACK. IT IS WORSE FEELING IN THE WORLD TO REALIZE YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES AND YOUR SAFETY EQUIPMENT YOU PAID A PREMIUM FOR FAILS TO WORK. HONDA HAS LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE AND I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE ACCORD OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RECURRING BRAKE REPAIRS.THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY STOPPED AND I HIT MY HEAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. CONSUMER REPORTS WAS RIGHT THIS CAR DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE RATED! *TR

The contact owns a 2011 Honda CR-Z. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who repaired the front axle. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V256000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000. The VIN was not available.

As I was pulling away from a stop sign, the right-hand CV shaft snapped in the middle. Fortunately, I had just enough speed to coast into a parking lot, so I was not a traffic obstacle. On closer inspection, the failure occurred underneath the rubber/metal dynamic damper clamped to the center of the CV shaft. It looks like the dynamic damper was not adequately sealed and trapped salt and water until enough corrosion happened, causing the failure of the CV shaft.

****REVISION TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT**** I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM FINE, HOWEVER, THE SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD ME TO THE SEAT PROPERLY. AS THE IMPACT HAPPENED THE SEAT BELT LOCKED AND HELD ME MIDWAY, FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT TO THE STEERING WHEEL, AND DID NOT 'PRETENSION' ME PROPERLY (PULL ME BACK AND HOLD ME SUNG TO THE SEAT. BECAUSE OF THIS, WHILE THE SEAT BELT WAS HOLDING ME MIDWAY, THE AIR BAG CAME OUT AT FULL FORCE AND THE CENTER OF THE AIRBAG IMPACTED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CHEST, MORE SPECIFICALLY MY STERNUM. IF I WAS GOING TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE AIRBAG IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFTER THE AIRBAG WAS FULLY DEPLOYED, INSTEAD, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND IMPACTED MY CHEST. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 HONDA CRZ HYBRID. I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAMS. THE VISIBILITY IS TERRIBLE. ON A HILLY, CURVY ROAD I CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT 10-15 FEET AHEAD. IT APPEARS THAT A DAARK SHADE IS PULLED 2/3S OF THE WAY DOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD. YOU CAN SEE THE POSTS BUT NOT THE SIGN ON TOP OF THE POST. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE HID ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION IN MY OWNERS MANUAL. I THINK THIS IS UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD 4 PEOPLE DIRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT, AND THEIR REACTION IS THE SAME. GOOD LORD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS. I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND A LADY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THER WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE KNOWS, SHE HASN'T DRIVEN MY CAR. I JUST WANT MY HEADLIGHTS FIXED. *TR
