What owners report
Vehicle Affected: 2007 Honda CR-VRelated Recall: NHTSA Recall Campaign Number 23V228000 (Rear Frame Stiffener Brackets)Description of Incident:I am reporting a severe safety issue regarding how a Honda dealership and American Honda Motor Co. are executing Safety Recall 23V228. I presented my vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer for the rear frame rust inspection. (Lundgren Honda of Auburn MA) The technician "passed" the vehicle and offered to install the remedy support brace because the specific trailing arm bolt hole could technically receive a bolt. However, the dealer completely ignored a catastrophic structural failure directly adjacent to the recall site. The actual boxed structural fr
The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that there was corrosion and frame rust on the vehicle caused by road salt and moisture, which caused the rear of the vehicle to collapse. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure). The dealer was contacted and referred the contact back to the dealer who repaired the vehicle under the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 258,000.
My 2007 Honda CR-V was repaired under NHTSA Recall 23V-228 for corrosion in the rear frame at the trailing arm mount, a condition Honda's own filing says can allow the trailing arm to detach while driving. My vehicle received the support-brace remedy rather than a full structural repair. Since that July 18, 2023 repair, the vehicle has developed Right Rear (RR) tracking instability, whooshing and high-pitched whistling noises, tire bead damage, and toxic exhaust fumes entering the cabin. The component at issue is the rear frame at the trailing arm mount, along with the related RR suspension/tracking behavior and RR tire. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and is currently l
I bought the 2007 Honda CRV in 2022. Approximately 1 month ago my keys were locked inside. 3 reputable locksmiths could not unlock any doors. My extra fob or extra key will not unlock any doors. The passenger door had been making a ticking then grinding noise when it locks itself. All 3 locksmiths said this a serious safety problem and the actuator is at fault. The only way to get in was to retrieve my set of keys out of the wedged door. I haven't received any recalls on actuators but there was a class action in 2015-2016 (which I was not the owner then) that stated ALL 2007, 2008 and a few 2009 Honda CRVs were to have the actuators replaced at Honda expense. I'm afraid that if my disabled s
Where the frame connects to the right rear control arm has broken loose. I had the recall repair done in 2023 for this issue and now it has failed. The dealership said the vehicle is too rusted to repair
