Problem overview

Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing stuttering and coasting to a stop, which may indicate engine misfires or power loss associated with a weak #4 cylinder. This weakness can result in uneven power delivery and performance issues, making the vehicle struggle during acceleration and idle. Additionally, some owners find that a broken exhaust valve spring exacerbates these problems by hindering the engine's ability to expel exhaust gases efficiently, further impacting overall performance. These mechanical issues can lead to stalling, particularly when idling or under load, as the engine struggles to maintain proper combustion. To address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to consult a qualified mechanic or dealership service center familiar with Honda CR-V engines for accurate diagnostics and repairs, ensuring optimal performance and safety on the road.
