Honda Amerca Complaint - 2011 Honda CRV Sucks - 2011 Honda CRV
Complaint
I own a 2009 CRV that I love so much I brought a 2011 version and gave the 2009 to my daughter to take to college. I have just gotten home from the Honda Service Center for the fourth time. I have had my car 6 months and take it in repeatedly for the same issue. My CRV vibrates so badly while idling that it is embarrasssing. Honda tells me this is normal but I HATE my car. I have sent a letter to Honda America and to the President of Honda in Japan stating my complaints but have yet to hear back. Since there are many similar complaints on the web I know that I am not overreacting. I do not think that <600rpm is normal for an idle speed. I feel that Honda is ignoring the complaint so that they don't have to address the problem in all their 2011 CRVs. I would love for Honda to just give me my money back so I can buy something else. I just read that if a vehicle cannot be repaired 3 times in 18 months then it qualifies under the Lemon Law. I could make lemonade.

It would be interesting to find out what the specification for the idle speed is. On a 4-cylinder car, 650rpm is normal for some.
I believe you would have to prove that the idle speed is not correct to win a lemon law argument. If it turns out the vibration at idle is normal behavior you are probably stuck in neutral.

I have a 2008 CR-V and it idles at 700rpm and it's very smooth. Only time I notice anything is when the cooling fan kicks in on hot days and that just an increase in noise. No vibes.
You need to look at other 2011's and see if they do the same thing. Dealers should still have some on their lots.
