2009 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

Car was assessed for recall related to service bulletin 23-032. Recall was performed, but the mechanic who performed the recall says the car is not repaired because the rear frame corrosion, as described in bulletin 23-032, is so severe that a large piece is missing from the rear frame. The mechanic says the repair as described in the bulletin is not enough to fix the car. The service bulletin remedy was only performed because the rear trailing arm bolts were able to be removed, but the car is still unsafe due to rear frame corrosion that Honda has admitted to as per the recall. The car is considered unsafe due to the frame damage and likely cannot pass state inspection. After calling Honda, Honda says the repair is complete even though the mechanic who performed the recall says the repair is not complete and the car is unsafe due to issues with rear frame corrosion that led to the recall in the first place. Honda is refusing to discuss the issue any further. A screenshot of the damaged part of the rear frame has been attached. This is part of a video taken by the mechanic who performed the recall. In this video the mechanic also states that “this is not a repair.” He also states that part of the damage is obscured by the brace that was attached to the frame, so the image provided does not show the full extent of the damage.

My front passenger seat weight sensor is faulty and shows as "OFF" when a large passenger is in the seat. An independent service center has scanned and confirmed the faulty sensor. I see CRV recalls for both the sensors and airbags, but my VIN does not return a result.

Steering gear is leaking

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at approximately 15 MPH, the rear passenger’s side wheel started to feel abnormal on the roadway. No warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and became aware that the rear passenger’s side wheel was sunken into the mud flap cover of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence and then to the local dealer the following day. The vehicle was diagnosed as unrepairable under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure). The contact was informed of a possible buy-back. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 230,000.

I contacted my local Honda dealer per the recall letter back in Summer of 2023. Dealer stated that rather than do the recall inspection , they would wait until they got a recall repair kit in so I didn’t have to make a possible 2 trips. The dealer stated they would contact me. It’s now April 15, 2024 and still haven’t been contacted yet.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle overheated and the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 188,000.

Honda issued a safety recall for rear frame corrosion; we learned of the recall in Apr 2023 & took the car to Vidmar Honda (Pueblo, CO) in Jun2023. They didn't have the equipment to conduct the inspection, said they would order it & notify us when it arrived; I followed up in Aug & Sept and they hadn't ordered the equipment. On Oct 10 I brought the car in to have the TPMS repaired & they informed me there was a safety recall. Later Vidmar informed me the car was too rusty to make the safety repair, but they repaired the TPMS (that is FRAUD). I pointed out that the Honda recall notice said the dealer would offer to repurchase the vehicle if the car could not be repaired, but Vidmar denied that was how the recall worked (Honda MISREPRESENTED the recall process to its customers). WE WERE NOT INFORMED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE & WE WERE PERMITTED TO TAKE THE CAR, being told that the issue was now with American Honda. I received a voicemail from Honda on Oct 12 telling me of our recall case number; I returned the call 9 times but had no further calls from Honda. On [XXX] the frame failed & the right rear tire nearly separately from the frame; the vehicle was towed to a Honda dealer in Colorado Springs & I informed both Vidmar Honda & American Honda that day of the structural failure. On Jan 12, 2024, Honda called & offered to repurchase the car (the caller was not aware that the vehicle had failed & was off the road); afterwards I received an email from Honda INFORMING US FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE & SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN - 45 days after the structural failure, 84 days after the repair could not be made, and 7 months after we first tried to have the vehicle repaired. To date Honda has not made an offer in writing to repurchase the car; the GM of Vidmar showed us pictures of the car in Dec from [XXX] & said, "that's not good when you can see light coming from the other side [of the frame] " and "that's real swiss cheese there."

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated the vehicle was repaired under an unknown recall by the previous owner. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic for maintenance where it was noticed that the subframe was rusted past the L-bracket. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the subframe was rusted past the L-bracket. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

I took my 2009 Honda CRV in for a recall. In salt belt states where de-icing agents are used to maintain the roadway, the de-icing agents, along with mud and dirt, could enter the rear frame through the rear frame drainage points. This could cause the rear trailing arm to come off. The dealership ended up attaching a bracket that is supposed to keep me safe. My problem is that the bracket is attached to a highly corroded area of my vehicle (as shown in the attached pictures) When I brought this up they only stated that as long as the one bolt was able to be replaced then that is all they are required to do. I feel that the bracket should at least be attached to solid metal. Also, now I have to have the bracket removed again so I can get the frame repaired (even though the recall specifically says the corrosion was caused by a design flaw that allows salt and dirt to get into the inner frame through rear frame drainage points). I feel that there should be more criteria to this recall than just one bolt because they are sending cars back on the road that are still unsafe.

I have a 2009 Honda CR-V that had a recall performed on 9/13/23. After the recall was performed the car is still not safe. But Honda is saying the car is safe even though it will not pass NYS inspection after the recall was performed. I first called Honda on 9-14-23 and they wanted documents from dealership saying it’s unsafe. On 9-18-23 the dealership put the car through NYS inspection and failed because of the area to do with the recall. Sent this information into honda. They didn’t get back to me until I called back. They went on to say the whole underside of car is bad which is not true. Then trailered car to 3 different shops. All 3 shops said the unsafe part is where the recall was performed. Sent this information into Honda and again they pushed me off basically saying not there problem. I have not driven the car since the recall has been performed. The person I spoke to at Honda went on to tell me they performed an inspection that meets NHTSA standards for the recall. But I’m wondering if it doesn’t meet NYS inspection standard how can they say it’s safe for me to drive ?

See attached document for complaint

Went to dealership on 8/10/23 to get a recall fixed. The recall is for the rear frame brace corrosion due to deicing agents. The dealership said that that my car failed the test and declared the car unsafe and do not drive. No warning lights or symptoms. My safety was put at risk due to the fact the rear arm frame brace could’ve snapped while driving causing a potentially fatal accident.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and vibrating. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had recently been repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure). The contact stated that the vehicle was shaking and vibrating at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the yearly State vehicle inspection and the state inspectors refused to complete the inspection due to the extreme corrosion and holes in the rear sub frame. The vehicle was then taken to another State Inspection station and the contact was informed that the vehicle would not pass the State Inspection. The contact called the manufacturer and a manufacturer inspection had been scheduled. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 157,034.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure) however, the dealer advised the contact that the extent of the rust on the vehicle prevented the recall repair from being performed. The contact stated that the manufacturer made an offer to buy back the vehicle however, the contact believed that the offer was unreasonable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,500. Parts distribution disconnect.

I am writing to express my concern about the quality of the Heavy Duty straps that accompanied the Yakima JayLow J-Cradle Rooftop Kayak Mount I purchased earlier this year. On July 3, 2023, I attempted to tighten the first strap I used with the mount. Unfortunately, the strap detached at the point of attachment to the buckle. I was fortunate that this happened while I was in my driveway, and no one was injured. However, had this failure occurred while I was driving, the potential consequences could have been disastrous. I contacted Yakima, but they were extremely slow to respond and seemed unconcerned even though I told signaled to them that I believed this issue could result in someone being seriously injured or dying. The specific component that failed was the Super Heavy Duty Strap. This strap has a buckle with a rubber jacket around it. The strap was sewn around the rubber instead of the metal of the buckle. The Yakima JayLow comes with two of these straps. I still the failed strap and a strap which I didn't tighten to failure, but is improperly manufactured. This put the safety of others at risk in that there is a high probability that kayaks attached with these straps (with this manufacturing defect) will fly off the vehicle. I am a mechanical engineer. I inspected it and reported it to the manufacturer. Again, they seemed unconcerned, but did send two new straps which were properly manufactured with the strap sewn around the buckle...instead of around the rubber buckle jacket. There were no warnings to the failure and it would be hard to expect/see the manufacturing defect. One doesn't expect a strap to break like this.

The contact's mother owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact's mother received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. The contact stated that the dealer inspected the vehicle and informed his mother that no issues were found, and to drive the vehicle to the residence. However, the contact stated that the manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that they had received a report from the dealer stating that the vehicle was beyond repair. The manufacturer informed the contact that a case had been opened and they were working on buying back the vehicle. The contact stated that the case manager was unreachable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact's mother had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power, the trailing arm fractured, and the vehicle swerved off the roadway. The vehicle was previously inspected under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure). The vehicle was towed to the same dealer and inspected. The contact was informed that there was severe rust on the frame. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

On June 8th 2023 I brought my car into a Honda service center to be inspected per safety recall 23V-228. After inspection I was told that the rear frame was severely rusted out but that the shop could not do anything about it. I was given my vehicle back and told it was safe to drive and that Honda of America would be reaching out to me in a few days. Approximately 2 weeks passed with no word from Honda and the rear trailing arm fell off my car while driving home from work. This is exactly what the recall was supposed to prevent from happening. This was confirmed when the car was subsequently towed back into the shop. Now, Honda of America has been working on a repurchase offer that was supposed to take 2 weeks and it has since been nearly two months with no additional information. According to the recall, Honda was supposed to remedy this situation within 60 days of the car being brought in for initial inspection. As of today it has been 77 days. Honda refuses to answer any of my emails or pick up the phone with repeated attempts.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure) however, the repair was attempted, but the vehicle was not repaired.

Received recall notice to have vehicle repaired. Scheduled vehicle with local dealer for repair. Took vehicle to dealer on 6/14/2023 for recall repair. Dealer informed me during visit, they had to send a picture/video of what they encountered to American Honda and wait for them to decide how to repair. A little while later during same visit, dealer informed me American Honda instructed them not to repair and tell me to go home and park the car and American Honda will call me. American Honda has not called me and the vehicle not repaired of the recall. I must drive the vehicle for my work. I would like them to fix, replace my vehicle and immediately if they think it is a safety concern.

Vehicle was taken in May to have the corrosion recall procedure completed. while at the dealership it failed the inspection and was told it would be bought back. After 10 weeks and many phone calls received an offer that was a slap in the face for an offer. representatives were dismissive in nature and dodged my questions. faced with either the option of accepting a low offer or spending money out of pocket to fix it personally was a terrible option. Dealer and Honda both refused to fix my vehicle even though the corrosion is not the issue at hand since the threads of the trailing arm were messed up by the dealership.

Driver side seat warmer not working, back warmer works. Loud buzzing sound on passenger side every time I put the car in drive and when I lock my car.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while reversing there was an unknown abnormal sound detected from the front passenger’s side door. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that whenever the driver's front and passenger’s side front door were ajar, the sound was not detected. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the door actuator had malfunctioned. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 58,800.

My door lock on my driver side gets stuck in the unlock position.

Upon repair, at the authorized dealer, for the rear trailing arm recall in May 2023, the service Advisor noted that antifreeze/ coolant was leaking from a corroded/ rusty heater pipe deep inside the engine compartment. Although they quoted a repair price and a separate coolant flush fee, the part is not currently available from Honda. This heater pipe is backordered and thus unavailable for repair as quoted. Since this antifreeze leak makes this vehicle undriveable, I was forced to research then search for this part availability and buy it myself as an aftermarket non OEM part. It seems that this rust issue related to the rear trailing arm is not the only rust concern on these 2007-2011 Honda CR-Vs.

The rear wheel on the left driver side detached from the frame while driving on the hwy and lost control. Luckily I could pull off and drive into the ditch. The frame is rusted enough that auto shop says that the repairs aren't worth it because the entire back frame is rusted and will just happen on the other side. No sounds beforehand to indicate their would be a malfunction. The control arm was detached from the rusting but other components broke from the frame rusting and wheel coming loose on the hwy. It will be inspected further.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the fuel tank guard had separated. The contact stated upon inspecting the subframe, he noticed that the frame was severely corroded. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the subframe needed to be replaced. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. The contact stated upon picking up the vehicle from the dealer, he noticed that the dealer had only installed a support brace as per the manufacturer's instructions and to repair the subframe as needed. The contact stated that the dealer advised that the subframe was severely corroded, however, the dealer stated that they had completed the recall repair as per the manufacturer's instructions. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but had not provided any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 187,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

The front passenger side doir actuator and the rear have not worked properly gir at least 8 years, and I was never notified of the class action lawsuit. Additionally, in July of 2014 when I took the car for the first airbag recall in Levittown, NY, the car was brought in with cold sir conditioning and returned with non working air conditioning. I am the sole owner of this car and it has been meticulously cared for and driven. I see that many others had also not been notified of the actuator problem. I am afraid to let Honda touch the car again after they broke the air conditioner while fixing the last recall.

The entire rear frame is rotted and broken off of the body. This happened as I was going slowly up my driveway. Body Shops have told me the car is not repairable. The car cannot be driven as the wheels are no longer connected to the main frame.

I was drive and I hit a curb and my airbags wasn't going fast or hit the curb hard at all but the airbags deployed and hit me in face and my hand it hurt . This is unsafe and could have killed me

Driving vehicle and it started to sway. Loud bang and car stopped. I got out and the rear trailing arm had broken free from the frame due to rust. Car was no longer drive able. I had it towed to Darling's Honda in Bangor, Maine. They were not able to look at the vehicle because Honda has not finalized the recall. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:23V-228 I am without a car and need a solution. I was told by the dealership that Honda may buy it back due to the extent of the rust because it is most likely not repairable. I have called and chatted several times with Honda and have been told it may be months before a solution.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard a loud booming sound and the vehicle started to swerve left and right. The contact was able to maneuver the vehicle off the road. The contact stated that upon inspecting the vehicle, she noticed that the rear driver’s side tire had detached. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear frame was rusted and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The left rear subframe and suspension have corroded right off the body/frame completely. The right rear side of the frame is almost completely corroded off of the body as well. These are both illegal to repair by law due to safety, being that it’s a unibody construction.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH and attempting to change lanes, the rear wheel sub frame detached. The driver's side rear was damaged. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and diagnosed with rear subframe corrosion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 142,810.

For the last couple of weeks the drivers side lock mechanism makes loud noise, is difficult and sometimes impossible to unlock with fob or manually. This is not consistent every time I drive, but has been increasing in frequency. I have been locked out of car twice. The Fob and manual key attempts failed. I replaced the Fob battery and was able to open the car, but the loud noises, lock engagement issues are continuing and increasing in frequency. I want to see if this is a recall issue that can be addressed by a dealership.

Date of incident was 8/3/22. The parts involved in the failure are the passenger side suspension control arm that is in front of the rear wheel and attached to the unibody chassis stiffener panel that it is attached to. The panel rusted out and control arm tore loose from it. My wife had just left home and was traveling approximately 20 MPH when the passenger side rear wheel suddenly rotated sideways. Fortunately, due to the slow speed, she was able to pull to the side of the road safely. I had the car transported to my local body shop about a mile away from the incident where they put it on a lift to get a good look at the problem and it proved to be just as I previously described. While we had it on the lift we examined the driver's side chassis stiffener panel and it has a baseball sized hole in it just in front of its' control arm. The body shop manager went online to see if there were any recalls for the problem and found that there was no history of recalls for it in the U.S. but Canada recalled over 83,000 Honda CRVs for exactly the same problem in the model years from 2007 to 2011. When they detected the problem Honda Canada either fixed the problem or bought the vehicles back at the calculated used car value determined by year, mileage, and condition. On 8/4/22 at 1:47 PM I called Honda Customer Service and talked to Marlene and was assigned complaint No. 13188392. Later on I was contacted by Honda's Regional Claims Manager, Monica. Her contact phone No. is 800-999-1009 and extension No. is 87783. She told me I needed to have the car transported to the Victory Honda dealership at 2920 GH Drive ,Austinburg, Ohio where it could be inspected and photographed by Honda employees and I did so. Marlene told me that Honda would would review Victory's report and photos and then contact me soon. On 8/16/22 Monica called back to say sorry, there will be no help for me. I'm afraid for others out there who might not be as lucky as my wife.

The locks on all the doors in my 2009 Honda CR-V EX have been randomly clicking on and off as I drive for the last 6 months. One day I parked the car and tried to open the door and it was locked and I could not unlock it from the inside, I re-inserted the key into the ignition and the alarm horn started sounding but I was able to open the door and exit the car. The internet shows that there was a class-action suit settlement for 2008-2011 regarding the door locks that expired in 2015. I contacted the dealership and they said since my VIN was not listed on their website, they would charge me $175.00 to diagnose the problem and then would let me know if they could fix it so I followed the dirctions on the web-site to file a complaint with NHTSA. @ the door locks randomly swtich on and off as the car is moving @ I transport my infant and toddler grandchildren in the car and am concerned about the car doors randomly unlocking @ I have not had the vehicle inspected by the dealership as they will charge me $175 for diagnosis but the problem seems to be a duplicate of the complaints I have seen on line regarding the Recall of 2008-2011 CRVs @ No warning of the problem was experienced prior to June 2022

Door locks will lock and unlock on their own. Sometimes the battery will go dead overnight because the doors lock and unlock hundreds of times overnight.

Blue Ox base plate broke while towing car on highway. I have photos of the broken base plate. If both sides of base plate would have broken, car would have come free and would could have hit another car or person. I reached out to Blue Ox to report the problem but have not received any response.

The passenger door won't open & the trunk won't open, like it's jammed. There is no key entry for the passenger or trunk. I feel this has the potential to be very dangerous.

The drivers side locks and unlocks by itself at random times, only way to stop it is to push the button, otherwise it will keep going.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated the clock and date were inoperable. The contact stated the clock was years ahead and the date was incorrect. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer but was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle not was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

Bottom Line Up Front: The service advisor at Chapman Honda here in Tucson told me this morning (16 Nov) that passenger door locks and hatchback locks that freeze in the locked position (and can NOT be opened by anyone inside or out) sometimes happen with older Hondas (over 10 years). Really? This is a VERY serious safety issue. If what the advisor said is true, then there are potentially many thousands of vehicles that need to be immediately recalled. Timeline: On 11 Nov 21, without any warning whatsoever, the door locks in our 2009 Honda CR-V froze in the locked position. Passenger door and hatchback. My wife has serious back issues and we are thankful this did not happen, for example, when I was driving her to a medical appointment. I immediately called Chapman Honda, Tucson and was able to set up a service appointment for 9:00am, Saturday, 13 Nov. 13 Nov: As soon as I drove the car into the service bay, the frozen locks "un-froze" and operated correctly. The service advisor said he would have the doors checked anyway. They lubricated the doors and I left the dealership. 15 Nov: On the way to pick up a handicapped friend to take her to lunch the same door locks froze AGAIN. Fortunately, it happened before her friend was picked up; she had to sit in the back seat. My wife was very worried her friend would be trapped in the back as well. That same afternoon my wife took the CR-V back to Chapman Honda and left it for overnight servicing. 16 Nov: The service advisor called to say door lock actuators in both front doors would have to be replaced. Cost: $952.05! (including a 10% veteran’s discount) For the greater good and safety of all “older” Honda CR-V owners, it would seem this door lock actuator issue merits investigation. Very Respectfully, Lindsey Arison Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army, Retired GS-15, DoD, Retired

Airbags deployed while driving…Causing the car to flip over to side.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 8 MPH, the driver’s side rear wheel assembly detached from the vehicle without warning. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to his home. Upon inspection, the contact discovered severe corrosion on the frame of the vehicle which he linked to the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer were both notified of the failure and both informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 188,000.

The problem is with the front driver side door. The locking mechanism is not working properly. The automatic door latch, which is activated after driving about 20 feet. It creates the horn to honk and some problems with opening the door with key fob. Must open manually by inserting key into the door from the outside.

The driver's side rear frame stiffener is extremely corroded and looks to becoming loose! In CANADA, there is a recall for my year CR-V for this very defect!!! Why doesn't NHTSA do the same thing? I live less than 2 hours from Canada, yet my car there would have been recalled! This could potentially be devastating if the assembly becomes loose from the vehicle. Please address this problem! Thank you.

2009 HONDA CR-V- I recently received a recall notice from Honda regarding a problem with a rear frame member of my 2009 CR-V. I am all too familiar with this problem since it happened to me around two years ago. At the time of its failure I was advised by the service station that towed it that was a non-repairable situation. I therefore had it towed to my West Winfield home where I would later sell it as "junk". There seemed little use (and added expense) to have it towed to a Honda dealer since it was beyond repair. Upon receiving the recent notice I reached out to Honda who wanted little to do with my situation since I no longer owned the vehicle. I sought to at least seek some form of com­pensation, somewhere between the value of the vehicle and the amount I received as salvage (approx. $1100). While they've assigned a case number to me, they have not offered to provide any kind of relief in any shape or form. I am reaching out to you for some guidance on how to best proceed. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.
