2011 Honda CR-V Tires & Wheels Problems

Scheduled recall to be looked at, however my local dealership called me the day of appointment to tell me they do not have the part for that and would need to order it and then schedule my appointment. So the person ordered it and then I had to call back to see if the part came in yet. Upon looking at my car on a lift, they told me they would have to charge me to fix the car because the lug nut they stripped looking at my vehicle was stripped. I was not willing to pay them so the dealership sent me home. I called back to see how to fix it and they never offered me an answer. It’s been needing the recall for years since and no Honda dealership is able to fix it.

I replaced my rear wheel hubs with new driveworks hub assemblys from advance auto parts. The car fell apart driving down the interstate. Both rear hubs snapped and my tires came off with half of the hub attached to the car and half attached to the tires. Pueblo Colorado police department responded and my case number is 21-018947.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH IN THE HIGHWAY AND ROUGH WHEN IDLING. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TRUST IN HONDA'S RELIABILITY. FIVE DAYS AGO, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, ITS ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE 'JUNK' WHICH NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. WE WERE ALL NERVOUS AND CONFUSED AND WE WERE ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. OUR SAFETY IN THE CAR WAS UNCERTAIN AND THE ROADS GOING HOME HAD VARYING SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 TO 65 MI/HR. WE KNOW TODAY THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE PROBLEM DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

ORIGINAL OWNER NOTED MISSING LUGNUT ON REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL-STUD WAS BROKEN OFF DURING ROUTINE TIRE CHECK. UNKNOWN WHEN THIS FELL OFF. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THREE ADDITIONAL WHEEL STUDS ON DIFFERENT WHEELS SNAPPED WITH MINIMAL TORQUE WHILE ROTATING TIRES. AUTO WITH 40,000 MILES, TIRES ARE AFTERMARKET, WHEEL RIM OEM. WHEELS LAST CHANGED (WITH NEW TIRE PURCHASE) ABOUT 15 MO PRIOR TO THIS EVENT.

I HAVE 20,901 MILES ON THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2011. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICING THAT MY TIRES ARE NEED REPLACING. I WAS CONSIDERING REPLACING THEM, BUT I HAVE READ THAT THE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER REPLACING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CR-V.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH COOPER CS4 TIRES, SIZE: 225/65R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER TUBE RUPTURED. THE TIRE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS A REPLACEMENT TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

I FILED A CLAIM/COMPLAINT APRIL 6, 2014 FOR PREMATURE WEAR FOR CONTINENTAL 225/65R17-102T TIRES EQUIPPED ON 2011 HONDA CR-V TO CONTINENTAL &HONDA. CONTINENTAL ADVERTISES TIRES ARE WARRANTED FOR 65,000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. IT BECAME NECESSARY TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES 3/19/14 AT 31,013 MILES OR LESS THAN HALF THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY WERE SERVICED BY ACCREDITED HONDA DEALER & TIRE PRESSURE MAINTAINED. ADDITIONALLY, ON APRIL 6, 2012 THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT WITH NO CAUSE PROVIDED AND REPLACED AT A COST OF $193.00. I HAVE RECEIVED NO COMPENSATION FOR THAT TIRE. SUBSEQUENTLY, ON 4/22/14 HONDA REPRESENTATIVE [XXX] RESPONDED TO MY LETTER OF 4/6/14. HE REFERRED ME TO CONTINENTAL TIRE & DENIED ANY COMPENSATION FROM HONDA. ON 4/23/14, ?[XXX]? WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES CALLED TO CONFIRM THEY ?NEVER GUARANTEE OR WARRANT MILEAGE ON TIRES?. SHE SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED ME TO ADJUSTMENT POLICY, #3. "TREAD WEAROUT UP TO A PREDETERMINED MILEAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS POLICY."SHE, TOO, REFUSED ANY ADJUSTMENT OR RESOLUTION TO THE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. ADDITIONALLY, SHE WOULD NOT CONSIDER THE TIRE REPLACED 4/6/12 BECAUSE THE DEALER DID NOT FILE A CLAIM. HONDA CORPORATION UNILATERALLY CONTRACTS WITH CONTINENTAL TO PROVIDE THE 225/65R17-102T TIRES FOR THEIR CR-V PRODUCT. THE CUSTOMER CANNOT SUBSTITUTE THE BRAND OF TIRES. HONDA CONTINUES TO EQUIP CR-V MODELS WITH CONTINENTAL 225/65R17-102T TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN ON NOTICE OF POOR TREAD PERFORMANCE FOR YEARS AND CONTINUE THE RELATIONSHIP KNOWING CONTINENTAL DOES NOT WARRANT THE PRODUCT. CONTINENTAL WILL NOT GIVE AN ADJUSTMENT AND HONDA CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. NEITHER CONTINENTAL OR HONDA WILL PROVIDE, IN WRITING, THEIR BASIS FOR DENIAL NOR WOULD THEY ALLOW ME TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR.

I HAVE A 2011 HONDA CRV WITH 18,657 MILES AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW SET OF TIRES. THE ORIGINAL TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL 4X4 CONTACTS, M+S, 225/65R17, DOT # FDF5 3AH2111. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE HAD TWO TIRE ROTATIONS TO DATE. I ALSO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE EVERY WEEK. *TR

THIS VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING PREMATURE WEAR AT 20000 MI ON TIRES AND CUPPING OF TIRES NOW HAVE 31000 MI AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. VERY SAD. *TR

CUPPING ON OUTERMOST TREAD GROOVE PRODUCING ROARING ROAD NOISE. 2011 HONDA CR-V WITH 15,626 MILES AS OF 8/9/13. TIRES ROTATED AT 7500 AND 15000 MILES, ONLY SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON REAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A NOISE LIKE AIR RUSHING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER. THE TIRE BLEW OUT IN TWO PLACES ON THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE. ROAD WAS CLEAR, DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, TIRE JUST BLEW OUT. I WAS AMAZED WHEN I SAW OTHERS WITH HONDA CR-V'S HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM GOING TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES TOMORROW. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES..EVER. I JUST HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT HONDA LAST FRIDAY AND THE CAR SERVICED. HONDA WANTED TO SELL ME ANOTHER BRIDGESTONE FOR 183.00. THEY CAN KEEP THEIR BRIDGESTONE TIRES. *TR

UNUSUAL WEAR (INTERIOR EDGE CUPPING) AND NOISE DEVELOPED ON THE RIGHT-REAR TIRE DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (PURCHASED NEW - JANUARY 2011) RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE TIRE CONDITION. MECHANIC (USING COMPUTER ALIGNMENT METHOD) DISCOVERED THAT CAMBER ALIGNMENT WAS NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED RANGE, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT OPTION ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT THE PROPER CAMBER ALIGNMENT, TIRE DESTRUCTION (IN THIS CASE INTERIOR EDGE CUPPING) OCCURS RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE TIRE CONDITION. AN AFTER-MARKET PART IS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY CAMBER ADJUSTMENT, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A HONDA OEM PART AND HONDA DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY RELATED TO THE ISSUE. A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE ROUTINE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISMS TO AVOID DESTRUCTION OF PARTS WHICH CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE AN ORIGINAL OEM PART TO ACCOMMODATE A NECESSARY (AND HONDA RECOMMENDED - VEHICLE ALIGNMENT) ADJUSTMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL 4X4 TIRES, SIZE: 225 65 R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES BECAME WORN PREMATURELY AT 20,000 MILES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 10/15/12 *CN UPDATED 10/23/2012 *JS

I CALLED IN A CLAIM/COMPLAINT AROUND JUNE 8 2012 FOR PREMATURE WEAR FOR CONTINENTAL 225/65R17-102T TIRES EQUIPPED ON 2011 HONDA CR-V TO CONTINENTAL &HONDA. CONTINENTAL ADVERTISES TIRES ARE WARRANTED FOR 65,000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. IT BECAME NECESSARY TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES 0608/2012 AT 31,463 MILES OR LESS THAN HALF THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE TIRE BECAUSE THE TIRES CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO FAIL INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY WERE SERVICED BY ACCREDITED HONDA DEALER & TIRE PRESSURE MAINTAINED.BOTH HONDA AND CONTINENTAL REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. *TR

SAID HONDA CR-V PURCHASED 05/22/14 AT PORT CHARLOTTE HONDA AND WAS TRADED IN ABOUT 2 HOURS PRIOR TO PURCHASE.OUR 2007 LINCOLN TOWN CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY SOLD PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP. WE WANTED TO DRIVE OUR LINCOLN BACK HOME & LEAVE THE HONDA FOR SAFETY INSPECTION AND DETAILING PER OUR AGREEMENT WITH SALES PERSON (MIKE HOMER) AND FINANCE MANAGER (ERIC DANE). THEY INSISTED WE DRIVE THE HONDA HOME AND RETURN FOR THE SERVICES THE NEXT WEEK AS PROMISED. THE FRONT TIRES WERE VERY BALD BEING THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON IT IN 2011. WE INSISTED THAT AT THE LEAST THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES BE ROTATED SO THE BETTER (NOT EXACTLY TRUE) WERE ON THE FRONT SINCE IT WAS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. UPON RETURNING FOR SERVICE I TOLD MIKE AND ERIC I WASN'T AT ALL HAPPY WITH THE CONDITION OF THE 2 TIRES ON THE FRONT, IT WAS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ASSURED ME THE TIRES MET THE SPECS AND WERE SAFE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE TIRE SPECS WERE BETWEEN 2/32TH AND 4/32TH. THIS ISN'T A TRUE STATEMENT & I WAS TOLD BY THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER THEY COULDN'T SPEND ANY ADDITIONAL ON THE VEHICLE. BEING THE FIRST HONDA WE HAVE EVER PURCHASED IT WAS A MAJOR DECISION SWITCHING FROM FORD (WHICH WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT). ERIC SAID WE WOULD BE REAL HAPPY WITH THE HONDA CR-V WHICH WE ARE EXCEPT FOR THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. I'VE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS BUT THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITHOUT CHARGING US FOR THEM. I REFUSE TO PAY HUNDREDS FOR DOLLARS FOR TIRES THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE HONDA TO THE LOCAL BRIDGESTONE DEALERSHIP HERE IN CAPE CORAL FOR EVALUATION AND THE MEASUREMENT WAS 1/32 AND HE SAID HE WOULDN'T DRIVE 2 MILES ON THOSE DANGEROUS TIRES. THE LEFT DRIVER'S TIRE WAS FLAT EVERY MORNING SO WE ARE NOW ON A DONUT TIRE. WE NEEDED THIS ISSUED RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. UPDATED 05/7/2015*JS

I HAVE TWO NEW VEHICLES THAT ARE IN NEED OF NEW TIRES SOON: VEHICLE #1: 2010 HONDA CR-V WITH 16K MILES VEHICLE #2: 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK WITH 14K MILES. BOTH VEHICLES WILL NEED TIRES WITHIN 2-3K MILES. THIS IS WRONG. WHEN I BUY THE SAME BRAND TIRE NEW AT THE TIRE STORE THEY WILL SELL ME THAT SAME TIRE ON EACH VEHICLE NOTED ABOVE WITH A WARRANTY OF UP TO 40K PLUS MILES. WHY IS IT WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR OR TRUCK THE TIRES ARE JUNK AND DON'T LAST? THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. HOW CAN THE MANUFACTURES SELL A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES ON IT? WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN BUY THE SAME TIRE AND HAVE A LONGER WEAR LIFE WHEN PURCHASE FOR AN OFFICIAL TIRE DEALER. I CANNOT BELIEVE NO ONE IN THE GOVERNMENT HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK. [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
