Honda Cr-v Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Mar 01, 2012
Reported on Mar 01, 2012
| I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 CRV IN MARCH, 2012 & OCCASIONALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS IT WOULD HESITATE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE RESPONDING TO GIVING IT GAS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING A CORNER. A COUPLE TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO THE HESITANCY. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT I HAD BAD GAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT ONLY DID IT PERHAPS 5 TIMES IN THE FIRST 15,000 MILES & I WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER. RECENTLY AROUND 20,000 MILES IT SEEMED TO BE INCREASING THE FREQUENCY THAT IT WAS HAPPENING, SO ON 11-29-2013 I INQUIRED AT THE HONDA DEALER & WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT FROM OTHERS BUT HAD NO SOLUTION. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I MIGHT AVOID USING THE ECON BUTTON SINCE THAT SEEMED TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THEY WAS ALSO ANOTHER GENTLEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE SAME TIME WITH A 2012 CRV & HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WITH GREATER FREQUENCY THAN WHAT I WAS HAVING. I JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP OF ABOUT 1,800 MILES & THE FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY, 6-8 TIMES DURING THE TRIP. DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC I DISENGAGED THE ECON BUTTON, BUT I STILL CONTINUED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF IT HESITATING EVEN WITH THE ECON BUTTON DISENGAGED. ON 12-10-2013 I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE & TOLD THEM THAT THE FREQUENCY WAS INCREASING; THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT & HAD NO KNOW SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH GRAY MATTER IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS IT TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. I AM NOW FEARFUL OF TURNING LEFT IF THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. *TR | |
