2010 Honda Crosstour problems
The Honda Crosstour (initially branded the Accord Crosstour) is a mid-size crossover SUV with a sloping rear roofline manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda. It is based on the North American eighth-generation Accord. Sales began in November 2009 for the 2010 model year, and the vehicle was discontinued after the 2015 model year due to slow sales.
Design
The Crosstour was marketed as a "hatchback"/"wagon" variation of the Accord and shared the same platform. The Crosstour was powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine (choice of either front-wheel or all-wheel drive) or 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine (front-wheel drive only), with prices that started at $29,670, above those of the Accord sedan (which started at under $23,000). For the 2012 model year, Honda removed the "Accord" prefix, making the name just "Crosstour", and gave its front grille a restyle. A four-cylinder engine for front-wheel drive models was released in late 2011 and put on sale in early 2012.
The Crosstour was a direct competitor to the Toyota Venza, a crossover wagon based upon the Accord's perennial competitor, the Camry. And like the Venza, which was meant to replace the Camry wagon, the Crosstour was considered a successor to the Accord wagon.
In terms of positioning, the Crosstour slotted between the compact CR-V and fullsize Pilot in Honda's crossover SUV lineup, Compared to the Pilot, the Crosstour was longer but had two rows of seating compared to the Pilot's three and had approximately 50 cubic feet less interior space.
The Crosstour was sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Russia. Guangqi Honda built and marketed the Crosstour in China.

Common 2010 Honda Crosstour problems

- Brake Wear and Noise: Some 2010 Honda Crosstour owners have reported premature brake wear and brake noise, which may require earlier than normal replacement. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors, including worn-out brake pads, damaged brake rotors, or a malfunctioning brake system.

- Recalled Airbags: The 2010 Honda Crosstour has been subject to recalls related to its airbags. In some cases, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as intended, placing an unbelted child seated in the front passenger seat at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash.

- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR WAS LOW IN OIL BUT THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON TO WARN ME. HOWEVER THE ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON. I HAD OIL AND TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS NOT DUE. THE DEALER DID NOT WANT TO RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE ENGINE LIGHT ERROR CODE P3497. SEVERAL HONDA CAR OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE P3497 ERROR CODE STAYING ON. THIS IS COSTING CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE ERROR CODE AND REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. FRUSTRATED HONDA OWNER.

- Date Of Incident: 2019-03-19
- VIN: 5J6TF2H55AL
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I PURCHASED A USED 2010 ACCORD CROSSTOUR FROM HANOVER HONDA IN PA, IN NOVEMBER, 2018.HAVEN'T HAD IT QUITE A YEAR, IN MARCH OF 2019, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR STARTED TO MISFIRE INTENSELY.CODE P0301 CAME UP.I TOOK IT TO MARTIN HONDA IN DE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE HAD TO BE UPDATED AND A FEW OF THE SPARK PLUGS HAD TO BE CHANGED. $345.00 LATER, THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS A "TWO-PART" REPAIR AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEY WOULD DO THE 2ND PART WHICH HAD TO DO WITH THE PISTONS & SOLENOIDS.IT HAPPENED AGAIN.OCTOBER, 2019, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY HUSBAND FOUND THE CAR TO BE MORE THAT 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL.THE CODE NOW IS P3497.TOOK IT BACK TO MARTIN HONDA, AND THEY TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS SAY. ROCKER ARM SWITCHES NEED REPLACED.THEY SAID "LET'S TRY AN OIL CHANGE AND RE-CHECK IT IN ABOUT 1000 MILES". THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT ALL HONDA SERVICE CENTERS KNOW ABOUT THESE COMPLAINTS.THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, WOULDN'T HELP ME AT ALL. RICHARD AT HONDA HEADQUARTERS AGREED WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MARTIN HONDA IN DE, AND DENIED MY CLAIM.ALL I WANT IS FOR HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ENGINE DEFECT, AND MAKE IT RIGHT.I PAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS VEHICLE, JUST TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN DEFECT.I HAVE ESCALATED MY CONCERNS WITH HONDA.THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A HUGE LAWSUIT, IF SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE ENGINE THAT BLOWS UP.IT WOULD BE EASIER AND CHEAPER FOR THEM TO RECALL THESE MODELS. IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS SETTLED FOR THESE EXACT ISSUES WITH THE V6 ENGINES.THIS IS ALL GREED. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET, OR WHERE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS.THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IS JUST COVER UP AND A WAY FOR HONDA TO SAY "YOU'RE PAST THE WARRANTY". THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER EITHER. I THOUGHT HONDA WAS BETTER THAN THIS.

THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET WORSE IF NOT TO A POINT OF BEING UNSAFE. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM AND HAVE THE CUSTOMER TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR AN AXLE OR WHATEVER PART IS NEEDED UNDER A RECALL REPLACEMENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HONDA IS A GOOD PRODUCT AND THIS IS MY THIRD VEHICLE WITH THEM. HOPEFULLY THE WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AS THEY ALWAYS DO.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2012-10-30
- VIN: 5J6TF1H3XAL
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 23000 MILES; IT IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I HAD READ ABOUT OTHER OWNERS' DESCRIPTIONS OF "SHUTTER" FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN BETWEEN 20-27 MPH UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION, A SLIGHT SHAKING FELT THROUGH THE CAR BODY, AND NOTICED MINE DISPLAYED THIS SAME CONDITION. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER ON OCT 30, 2012, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS EXPERIENCING, AND MENTIONED THAT ACURA HAD ISSUED A TSB CONCERNING A SIMILAR SITUATION. THE MECHANIC STATED THIS TSB DID NOT APPLY TO HONDA CARS. NONETHELESS, WHEN THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR, THEY HAD APPLIED A TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER SOFTWARE UPDATE; I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE SAME UPDATE ISSUED BY ACURA. THEY ALSO TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS AND RECOMMENDED TIRE BALANCING. I HAD THEM BALANCED IMMEDIATELY. MY FAMILY AND I TOOK A 4 HOUR ROAD TRIP OVER THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, CONSISTING OF MOSTLY INTERSTATE TRAVEL. I NOTICED THE "SHUTTER" GETTING WORSE, ESPECIALLY ONCE THE CAR WAS WARM, STILL BETWEEN 20-27 MPH. I ALSO NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION ABOVE 70 MPH. I DISMISSED THIS HIGH SPEED VIBRATION AS A TIRE BALANCE ISSUE, BUT I SEE OTHER OWNERS' COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS CONDITION, AS WELL. THE SHUTTER CONTINUED, AND ON DEC 8, I NOTICED THAT ONCE IT WAS WARM, THE CAR HAD STARTED TO VIBRATE THROUGHOUT, AT ANY SPEED. THE TRANSITION TO THIS CONDITION IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WHILE COLD, ALLOWING IT TO WARM UP, AND FEELING THE CHANGE IN OVERALL RIDE FEEL FROM COLD TO WARM, NOT FELT THROUGH THE WHEEL, THROTTLE PEDAL, OR SHIFTER, BUT THROUGHOUT THE CHASSIS AND BODY. ON DEC 10, I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER, CLOSER TO MY WORKPLACE, CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING WAS BROKEN. THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I FELT IT WHILE SHE DROVE IT, BUT SHE STATED SHE DID NOT. SHE SAID THE LOCAL HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID NO TSBS OR RECALLS APPLIED. *TR

- Summary: PLEASE, PLEASE BACK OFF ON YOUR HEAD REST REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY. PLEASE ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO CHOOSE THE POSITION OF THE HEAD REST.

MOTORCYCLE HELMETS ARE NO LONGER A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. NOW LET ME CHOOSE MY HEADREST POSITION. I THINK THESE NEW DESIGNS ARE GOING TO CAUSE FAR MORE INJURIES AND INSURANCE CLAIMS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THEIR HEADS COCKED FORWARD, IN A FORCED IMPROPER POSTURE. I HAD MIGRAINES DUE TO MY HEADREST BEFORE I RESOLVED THIS ISSUE IN MY CAR BY MAKING MODIFICATIONS. I SIT WITH PROPER POSTURE AND MY HEAD IS FORCED FORWARD. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO SIT IMPROPERLY IN ORDER TO TRY TO AVOID THE TERRIBLE DISCOMFORT THIS NEW LAW FORCES ON ME. PLEASE CHANGE THIS LAW. *TR
