Summary

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS REPLACED EVERY 6 MONTHS. I KNOW I AM NOT TYE ONLY OWNER WHO HAS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE LOCAL DELEARSHIP IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS ISSUE AND I DEMAND AN ANSWER. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS ISSUE ON A NEE CAR OR A CAR THAT IS 8 YEARS OLD. I HAVE MAINTANED MY CAR VERY WELL AND THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THE CAR BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND ADVISE I HAVE LOOKED INTO A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR COSTING ME SO MUCH TIME, MOKEY, AND HEARTACHE OVER THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY TIMES I FELT UNSAFE IN MY CAR AND TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BUT NO ONE WOULD GIVE ME PAY OFF SO I AM FORCED TO PAY MONEY THAT IS NOT NECESSARY EVERY 6 MONTHS SO I FEEL SAFE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD NOT BE THE A HONDA OWNER SHOULD FEEL. I HAVE BEEN ON VACATION 8 HOURS AWAY AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR WORKED ON. THAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE VACATION I HAVE EVER HAD. IT IS TRULY UPSETTING AND DISAPPOINTING BEYOND VOLUMES THAT I CAN NOT TAKE MY HONDA ANYWHERE ON VACATION FOR THE FEAR OF THE BRAKES LOCKING UP AND KILLING ME AND MY CHILDREN. SINCE THIS INCIDENT I HAVE PURCHAED A SUBARU AND STILL HAVE MY HONDA. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED BECAUSE MY SON WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHICH IS NOW PAID OFF AND IS SITTING IN A DRIVEWAY FOR FEAR OF DEATH OR INJURY.

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A SHAKING STEERING WHEEL DURING ACCELERATION LAST FALL. (APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES) AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES, REPLACING FRONT BRAKES & ROTORS, REPLACING BEARINGS, DOING AN ALIGNMENT AND HAVING MY MECHANIC REBUILD THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE, I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WENT TO THE DEALER. WITHIN ABOUT 2 MINUTES OF DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT HONDA HAD UPGRADED THE AXLE. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH AXLES BUT NO RECALL OR INFORMATION HAS EVER BEEN POSTED BY HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS, INDEED A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED!

PASSENGER SIDE HARSH VIBRATIONS - MOSTLY ON ANY ROAD GOING ABOVE 30MPH UNDER ACCELERATION THE AND HARSH VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER DIGGING ONLINE AND WASTING SEVERAL HOURS AND COUNTLESS DAYS AT MECHANICS THE OUTCOME IS A BAD PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE (DRIVESHAFT) CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS - LOCAL JUNK YARDS - PLENTY OF AUTO PART STORES AND NOTHING WAS AVAILABLE. DECIDED TO CALL AMERICA HONDA JUST TO FIND OUT THAT THE AXLE FOR THE CROSSTOUR IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. GO FIGURE. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH CROSSTOUR OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND ASKING FOR ADVICE. YET THIS ISSUE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL . WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR FROM HONDA THE VIBRATION WAS SMALL OVER 2 YEARS IT HAS GOT TO THE POINT OF DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. LAST NIGHT I HAD TO TOW THE CAR HOME DUE TO THE CRAZY AMOUNT OF VIBRATION WHEN UNDER ACCELERATION. --- HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL HONDA DEALER -- TO SEE WHAT THE MANAGER THINKS MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. WITH OUT BREAKING MY POCKETS. WILL POST A UPDATE IN A WEEK OR SO. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALERS AND CALL AMERICAN HONDA AND LET THEM KNOW THE ISSUES THE MORE CALLERS THE QUICKER WE GET THIS FACTORY ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF. NO WONDER THIS CAR WAS DISCONTINUED.

ON 11/23/15 I BOUGHT MY 2012 HONDA CROSSTOUR TO MY MECHANIC AFTER FEELING A SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END. WANTED TO MAKE SURE CAR WAS NOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT. AFTER CHECKING ALL THE NORMAL CHECK POINTS (IE.. TIRES, WHEEL BALANCE, MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT), DID A CHECK ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT AXLES. MECHANIC STATED THE FLUTTERING IS DUE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE. HONDA WAS TOLD ME THAT THE PART (44306-TP6-305) IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THERE WAS NO ETA. IT IS 8/8/16 STILL WAITING FOR AXLE. I HAVE OPENED A CASE TICKET AGAIN WITH HONDA BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PART IN ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER FOR OVER A YEAR AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. THE CAR HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR SINCE DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND AXLE THAT I'M REPLACING.

THE SEATS IN THE 2012 HONDA CROSSTOUR I JUST LEASED ARE HORRIFIC. THEY ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND THE POSITIONING ENCOURAGES POOR POSTURAL HABITS AND CANNOT BE TOLERATED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I TOOK MY CAR ON A 3500 MILE BUSINESS TRIP AND WAS CRIPPLED THE ENTIRE TIME AND ALMOST COULDN'T DRIVE HOME. I'VE PUT A LARGE SUM OF $ DOWN TO LOWER MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT'S EXCRUCIATING TO DRIVE. I'VE OWNED HONDA'S IN THE PAST AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR LONGEVITY, FUEL ECONOMY AND COMFORT OVERALL. I NEVER THIS COMING-SHAME ON YOU-HONDA! I'VE ALSO DRIVEN A 2012 PILOT (FOR 4.5 HOURS) AND THEY WERE SIMILAR IN DESIGN ONLY NOT QUITE AS UNCOMFORTABLE-BUT STILL UNACCEPTABLE! EVERY ATTEMPT I'VE MADE TO BOLSTER, PAD, LIFT, RELEASE OR OTHERWISE "FIX" WITH PADDING, PILLOWS, FOAM ETC. HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. WHILE PADDING WITH MINIMAL FOAM, IT RAISES ME IN A POSITION WHERE MY VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED AND MY HEAD HITS THE CEILING. I'M ONLY 5'7" AND NOT LARGE. I HAVE ALSO ENLISTED THE HELP OF A LOCAL UPHOLSTERER TO ASSIST ME BUT WE'VE REACHED THE END OF IDEAS TO ASSIST ME. *TR
