The motor stalls when making pulling away from a dead stop. I have noticed this in particular when making a turn from a dead stop. It has almost got me hit a few times and this has happened numerous times. I contacted my dealer when this first happened and they said it needed a software update which they did, it didn't fix the problem. It doesn't do it all the time as it is sporadic but when it does do it it makes…

The car stalls while moving slowly in reverse. This is dangerous in two ways. Way one, while moving in reverse the car stalls, and thus i stop moving when i and the people around me thought i would continue. The second way is i often end up reversing more quickly when i feel the car beginning to stall, this keeps the car from stalling but causes me to move in reverse faster than i would like to. This usually happens…

Takata recall 2.4l vtc actuator replacement i have had a few hondas with this engine it is very common in this engine the vtc system relies on proper oil pressure and allows the vtc actuator to make continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions. Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power. If an error occurs, the vtc system control is disabled and the valve…

Gas improperly leaking into the oil. My original engine failed with no root cause analysis confirming the problem. The dealership installed a different used engine and after 2,500 miles on oil installed in december 2018, sent the oil to a blackstone labs for testing on feb 1, 2019. They confirmed high levels of gas in the oil. My original engine had a catastrophic failure and it will be repeated again if we cant get…

Vehicle (with 89,000 miles) experienced misfiring and major loss of acceleration while traveling uphill at highway speeds. Upon removing the cylinder head, the dealer noticed significant carbon buildup on intake valves and bent valves. Owner had followed all required manufacturer maintenance and used top tier gasoline, but kept rpms low while driving. Manufacturer's extended warranty initially would not cover…

I had just returned from the grocery store with one of my daughters. We pulled into my driveway and my 2015 honda cr-v ex-l was stopped and my foot on the brake. My car was at a complete stop with the engine running. Before i could put the car in park, the engine suddenly revved up to a very high rpm and lunged forward. Even though my foot was on the break, i was unable to stop the vehicle and the car ran of two…

Car has a ridiculous shake on idle, literally feels as if there is an earthquake going on outside, i found supporting evidence that honda is aware of the issue but somehow honda is getting away with it and everyone in most blogs i've found who own this vehicle are still waiting for help / possible recall announcement from honda. I really hope someone can help us all out as it's a horrible feeling to buy a car then…

On april 10 2018 i went to pull out on hwy 78, from my road weekend villa, my car stalled, and i was hit head-on and put in the hospital. I did not realize how dangerous the stalling would be. My son-in-law found this notice on the internet,…

2015 honda cr-v has a sporadic problem in gear only at an idle. Engine rpm drops by 100 to 200 rpm and excessive vibration is felt. Having the vehicle in neutral when this occurs does not produce the drop in rpm. When the vehicle is placed in drive again, the rpm drop continues to be observed. Releasing the brake momentarily or moving the steering wheel restores the engine rpm for a period of time. A hesitation off…

In early 2018, around the 80k mileage mark the oil light came on. The car was due for it's oil to be changed, checked the oil level and it appeared dry. Purchased a 5 qt bottle and emptied almost all 5 quarts into the oil tank. The car had been sounding funny for a couple of weeks, but never considered the oil level an issue or the cause of the funny sounds. Once i filled the tank the sound disappeared. Had the oil…

Recently took my 2015 honda cr-v for another attempt to fix the issue. Basically, the vehicle will vibrate harshly and shudder as if it will stall with the rpm's dropping to 300-500. It happens in multiple instances- when coming to a stop/stopped in gear, while on the highway going about 60-70 mph. It feels like the vehicle loses power/is about to stall off. I've been told by honda this is "characteristic" of the…
