 Acceleration is still sluggish after updates. problem with engine is not fixed as it is probably a poor design. updates made the situation better. it ran best after the updates. first had problems before it was a year old.

 Exhaust leak. flexible gasket at base of catalytic converter deteriorates in heat and causes noise when catalytic converter is hot at low speeds and idle. vehicle was at dealer 5 times with no successful repair (march, aug, oct and nov, 2010). dealer has escalated issue to honda engineering, but no estimated time for resolution.

 I own a 2010 honda crv, there is a noticeable hesitation in accelerations from a stop or slow speed. most apparent when attempting to make a left turn against oncoming traffic as the hesitation makes these turns dangerous. as with complaints 10361582 and 10361843 (and likely others), i have taken the car into the honda dealer whose assessment is that the car is performing per specification. i suspect it has something to do with honda increasing the compression ratio for 2010, but not properly tuning the timing for all situations, but i am not a mechanic so it's just an uneducated hunch.
