Honda Cr-v Unknown Or Other Safety Report | May 30, 2011
Reported on May 30, 2011
| WHEN CRUISING ALONG AT A CONSTANT SPEED AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A CAR, THE CR-V DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT TO AN APPROPRIATE LOWER GEAR. THE CAR ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS FURTHER DEPRESSED. THE MOTOR BOGS DOWN. IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED DOWN ABNORMALLY FAR, THE CAR MAY THEN DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR. WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL AND ADDITIONAL POWER IS NEEDED THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCUR. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN WITH MINIMAL POWER. THESE ARE BOTH INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. THERE IS A HONDA TSB 10-077 WHICH MAY ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IT CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THE ENGINE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN THIS OCCURS. | |
