2011 Honda CR-V Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2011 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated on the vehicle. The contact stated that over time she became aware that the oil level was gradually getting lower than normal. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be disassembled for additional diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced Customer Service Program: 12-089; as the possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON MY TOWN'S STREETS AROUND 35 MPH AS USUAL WHEN MY VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE AUTOZONE IN TOWN AND THEY STATED IT WAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST CAR REPAIR SHOP AS A HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS OVER 25 MILES AWAY AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THE MISFIRE. WHY WAS CRV'S NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE CLASS LAWSUIT WITH HONDA?

POOR ACCELERATION AND PICKUP WHEN APPLYING GAS. WORSE IN HOTTER WEATHER. THERE IS A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THUS PROBLEM ON SAME YEAR VEHICLE FOR COMPUTER FIRMWARE UPDATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, 10-077 TSB, BUT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSES TO DO IT. SAYS MY VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO IT, EVEN KNOW THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY WHAT IT FIXES. FRUSTRATED. NO PICKUP IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET ON INTERSTATE AND IT IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR.

Oil consumption is exaggerated with to obvious observed signs, I.e, no visible leaks, no blue smoke from tailpipe, no smell behind vehicle. Oil needs to be added every ~70 miles as per the dipstick. Engine light will illuminate when oil too low. Car running fine otherwise. Is this happening to others? Respectfully, Careful Driver

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NONE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HERITAGE HONDA BELAIR (1800 BELAIR RD, SUITE A, FALLSTON, MD 21047, (410) 343-5644) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TAMARA RECALL MY CAR HAS STARTED BURNING OIL AT ABOUT 82,000 MILES. I AM PUTTING A QUART IN ABOUT EVERY 1500 MILES. IT SEAMS LIKE IT IS GRADUALLY BURNING MORE OIL I JUST HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ADDING BETWEEN ITS LAST OILS CHANGE. I HAVE OIL CHANGED AT DEALERSHIP EVERY 4-5 THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE SEEN THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR CARS BUT MINE HAS NOT FALLEN UNDER ANY RECALLS I AM WONDERING WHY? THIS CAR IS IN MICHIGAN I WARM THE ENGINE UP BEFORE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN AND LOOKED AT IT IS NOT LEAKING OIL IT IS BURNING IT.

LIBERTY HONDA IS REFUSING TO PERFORM WORK UNDER A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTICE TITLED "STICKING PISTON RINGS RESULTING IN HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION." I RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN AUGUST OF 2015. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUNAROUND BY LIBERTY HONDA EMPLOYEES OVER AND OVER ABOUT WHY THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. DESPITE PROVEN OIL LOSS, AND A LIT UP OIL LIGHT LIBERTY HONDA SERVICE CREW CONTINUES TO FABRICATE REASONS WHY THEY CANNOT PERFORM THE WORK IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. TODAY, THE SERVICE MANAGER LUIS/LOUIS WAS VERY UNSYMPATHETIC TO MY 2-YEAR LONG ORDEA. HE SAID, " YOU HAVEN'T DEALT WITH ME YET" WHICH NOT ONLY SOUNDED LIKE A THREAT, BUT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE CODE FOR: "I'M JUST GOING TO PUT YOU THROUGH MORE NEVER-ENDING TESTS AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM." THAT PROVED TRUE. DESPITE A SVC REP NAMED SHANICE ARCE PROMISING ME (ON 10/26/17) THAT THEY WOULD IMPLEMENT THE WARRANTYEXT/PISON RING FIX, THIS PROVED TO BE ANOTHER LIE. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM TODAY, AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 1,000 - PER LIBERTY'S NEVERENDING TEST DEMANDS, LIBERTY HONDA'S SERVICE DEPT. ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO UNDERGO MORE TESTS. IT NEVER ENDS! WHEN PROBLEMS SURFACE PERTAINING TO OIL CONSUMPTION, LIBERTY'S SERVICE PEOPLE ALWAYS COME UP WITH AN EXCUSE WHY THEY WON'T DO THE WORK REQUIRED UNDER THE STICKING RING WARRANTY EXTENSION. ON 7/13/17, ANOTHER SVC REP (IN A VERY PERFUNCTORY, UNFRIENDLY MANNER - WISH I HAD HIS NAME) TOLD ME THAT LIBERTY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK - EVEN THOUGH MY CRV WAS AT LEAST TWO QTS DOWN. ADDITIONALLY, THEY SEEM TO BE BRINGING ME IN JUST TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I'VE HAD TO NEEDLESSLY TAKE OFF TIME FROM WORK FOR LIBERTY'S RUNAROUND. AND THEIR SHUTTLE SERVICE ONCE DID NOT PICK UP ME UP AT THE END OF THE DAYHTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/VEHICLECOMPLAINT/# - - UNTIL I SPOKE WITH SALES 2 HOURS LATER (8PM).

I HAVE A HONDA CR-V 2011. IN OCTOBER OF 2016 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT HAD COME ON. THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS 4 1/2 QUARTS LOW. THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER A BIT AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS USING OIL WITH NO LEAKS. THEY HAVE TWO OPTIONS TO REBUILD EXISTING MOTOR WITH NEW PISTONS AND RINGS OR A REBUILT MOTOR. I HAVE TALKED WITH MIKE WHO IS A REP FROM HONDA. HE HAS TOLD ME THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FROM AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS BACK IN 2015. THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING AND SAYS HONDA IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY FOR EIGHT YEARS OR 125,000 MILES FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. IT HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. THIS ARTICLE ALSO SITES HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 12-089 FOR CR-VS (12-087 FOR ACCORD).

The oil consumption of this vehicle is extremely high and has progressively gotten worse to the point it has become undrivable. I have to put oil in every other day. It's completely not okay to make and sell faulty vehicles

HI. I HAVE A 2011 HONDA CRV. VIN # [XXX]. IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 98,500 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT FROM SCHLOSSMANN HONDA CITY 3450 S 108TH ST, MILWAUKEE, WI 53227. IT WAS A LEASED VEHICLE BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE OWNING IT THAT IT CONSUMES OIL. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCHING ON THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT HONDA MOTORS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THIS SUCH PROBLEM. MY QUESTION TO HONDA; 1.HOW LONG IS THIS WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE FOR MOTOR AND DRIVETRAIN? 2.HOW DO I PROVE THAT IT CONSUMES OIL, SINCE I HAVE NO PRIOR RECORDS OF SERVICE FROM THE PAST? I DO ALL MY OWN WORK ON VEHICLES, IE; OIL CHANGES, AIR FILTER CHANGES, BRAKES & ROTORS REPLACEMENT, SPARK PLUGS, AND EVEN ADDING AIR TO THE TIRES AND PUMPING GAS. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO DO ANY OF THIS WORK. I'M NOT SAYING THAT EVERYONE IS CAPABLE OF DOING THIS KIND OF WORK, BUT I FEEL I AM. I HAVE ALWAYS WORKED MY OWN VEHICLES SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD. I HAVE 42 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES. I HAVE PROOF THAT IT CONSUMES OIL, AS I HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTING IT MYSELF. IT IS (1) QUART OF OIL DOWN IN 500 MILES SINCE I JUST CHANGED IT. I USUALLY HAVE TO ADD (3) QUARTS BEFORE MY OIL CHANGE IS EVEN AT 50% LIFE LEFT ON THE OIL LIFE MAINTENANCE DISPLAY ON THE DASH. I END UP CHANGING THE OIL EARLY, (BEFORE 3000 MILES OR 0% OIL LIFE) OF RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE. I USE QUALITY VALVOLINE OR MOBIL 1 OIL, SAE 0 ? 20W FULL SYNTHETIC OIL. I ALSO USE FRAN OIL FILTERS PH7317. I DON'T USE CHEAP OIL, OIL FILTERS, AIR FILTERS OR INFERIOR PRODUCTS IN MY VEHICLES. THE SAME GOES FOR MY HARLEY DAVIDSON. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE ON THIS MATTER. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RODENTS ATE WIRE AND SPLIT HARNESS.

THE VTC ACTUATOR IS AN ISSUE ON THIS CAR. THE "RECALL" LISTED FOR THIS VIN IS 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THIS IS CRIMINAL AS NO ONE WILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME. IT LETS THE MANUFACTURER OFF THE HOOK. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AS IT AFFECTS MANY MAKES AND MODELS OF HONDA CARS (THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE FOR THE 2014 HONDA CRV). THE CAR GRINDS AT THE START, SOMETIMES NOT STARTING AT ALL, DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS $750 AND DOES NOT EVEN SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT THE PROBLEM CAN OFTEN REOCCUR AFTER ANOTHER 10,000 MILES. WE WERE ONCE PLANNING ON STAYING LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS, BUT THIS FRAUDULENCE HAS CONVINCED US TO SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND TELL EVERYONE WE KNOW TO DO THE SAME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WRENCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SLOANE HONDA DEALER LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA PA, FOR A THIRD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE LEVELS WERE PERFECT AND DID NOT NEED RINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN USED A DIPSTICK AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE NEEDED TO PROVIDE A TWO YEAR HISTORY OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,102.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE REQUIRED 2 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT. HONDA CLAIMS THAT 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION!

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON I BROUGHT TO THEM AND IT AND THEY RETURN IT TO ME ITS STILL ON I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG. NO MY AC I ALSO BLOWING HOT AIR INSTEAD OF COLD MANY COMPLAINS BUT THEY DONT DO ANYTHING WE NEED HELP.AIR BAG I CALLED THEY SAID THEY WILL CALL BUT NOBODY CALLED FIR RECALL.

I WAS FULLY STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT AN INTERSECTION. MY ENGINE ACCELERATED AND THE CAR BUCKED. I PUSHED MY FOOT HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP FROM ENTERING THE INTERSECTION.

OUR 2011 HONDA CR-V IS PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WE HAVE OUR CAR SERVICED REGULARLY AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND GO BY THE OIL LIFE MONITOR WHEN IT REACHES APPROXIMATELY 15-20%. WE HAD THE CAR SERVICED IN DECEMBER, 2015. ON A RELATIVELY SHORT TRIP IN EARLY APRIL, 2016 WE NOTICED SOMETHING ODD ABOUT THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE REGULAR PLACE WHEN WE RETURNED TO FIND OUT IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. WE HAD OIL CHANGED AGAIN IN AUGUST, 2016 -- AGAIN COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. WE TOOK THE CAR NUMEROUS TIMES TO HONDA FOR PROTOCOL TESTING OF OIL USAGE AT MEASURED MILE MARKERS. WAS TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THE CAR WAS NOT WITHIN PROTOCOL LIMITS FOR FIXING, EVEN THOUGH IT COMPLETELY WENT THROUGH THE OIL TWICE IN A SPAN OF EIGHT MONTHS. THE CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN ON OCTOBER 17, 2016 AND WE HAVE PUT IN 2.3 QUARTS OF OIL SINCE THEN. IN THE PROTOCOL TESTING STARTING AUGUST 10 TO OCTOBER 17, THE CAR USED 2.07 QUARTS OF OIL. WE ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE TO THE 125,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY LEVEL AND IT IS SO FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. WE ALSO HAVE A 2004 HONDA CR-V THAT WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO PUT A DROP OF OIL IN -- JUST REGULAR SERVICE TO IT. WE DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS, AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DISSATISFIED WITH THE ANSWERS FROM THE LOCAL HONDA. WE WERE LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS -- NOW WE AREN'T.

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM - TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. 96662 MILES. OIL LIFE AT 15% PER MANUAL OIL MAINTENANCE. EXCLUSIVE HONDA (NOT A DEALER) FOUND NO OIL IN MY CAR. SENT ME TO A HONDA DEALER IMMEDIATELY TO TAKE CARE OF. SINCE THEY ARE NOT A HONDA DEALER THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO MY CAR OR MAY NEGATE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE HONDA DEALER FOUND A SEAL OIL LEAK STATED IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE HIGH MILES. I WENT BACK AFTER 1000 MILES PER THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE OIL LEVEL & USE WAS CORRECT FOR 1000 MILES. OIL LIFE WAS AT 80%. I PLANNED TO CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 5000 TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER I AM ON MY 3RD TIME TO HAVE THE HONDA DEALER TO CHECK FOR OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. I WILL BE SENDING ALL THE COMPLAINTS SEPARATELY. I AM NOTIFYING ALL THAT I CAN IN HOPES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BY HONDA.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 HONDA CR-V LAST NIGHT AND WAS SLOWING TO TAKE AN EXIT OFF OF A FREEWAY. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE FAILING AS I WAS HAVING TO STEP ON THEM REALLY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. AS I APPROACHED THE STOPLIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT RAMP, I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS NOT GOING TO STOP. I PUT THE CR-V IN NEUTRAL AND HEARD THE ENGINE REV REALLY HARD AND SAW THE TACHOMETER READING JUMP OVER TO 5000 RPM. WITHIN SECONDS, THE ENGINE SLOWED BACK DOWN TO IDLE SPEED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE LAST MILE TO MY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT.
