TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
2006 HONDA CR-V EXTERIOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER SAFETY PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE RECENTLY REQUIRED THE SPARE TIRE BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE A ROAD HAZARD DAMAGED TIRE. ON REMOVING THE SPARE TIRE COVER, IT WAS NOTICED THAT ONLY TWO OF THE THREE TIRE LUGS THAT SUPPORT THE TIRE WERE IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH THREE TIRE LUGS FOR THE SPARE, AS THIS WAS NOTICED WHEN A DIFFERENT SPARE TIRE COVER WAS INSTALLED WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP. THE DAMAGED TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TIRE AND THE SERVICEMAN WENT TO PLACE THIS NEW TIRE ON THE EXTERIOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER. HE SHEARED OFF ONE MORE OF THE LUGS AND STATED THAT HE HAD NOT APPLIED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND LUG NOW MISSING AND THAT THE SPARE TIRE SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE EXTERIOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER WITH ONLY A SINGLE LUG TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE SPARE TIRE. THE SPARE TIRE WAS PLACED IN THE INTERIOR REAR STORAGE AREA. I WAS GIVEN THE SHEARED OFF LUG, WHICH I STILL HAVE IN MY POSSESSION, SHOULD IT BE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE IF STRUCTURAL FAILURE WAS THE RESULT BY EXAMINATION OF A METALLURGIST. CONTACTING THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED (HONDA OF BOWIE, MD), THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AT NO COST TO ME, AS A LATENT DEFECT, AS THEY STATED IT WAS BEYOND THE NORMAL WARRANTY PERIOD. THEY QUESTIONED WHETHER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANUAL. I RESPONDED THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER LUGS ARE NOT A SERVICEABLE ITEM (EXCEPT TO TIGHTEN THE LUGS TO RETAIN THE TIRE) AND THAT THE LUGS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS REFERRED TO THE NEXT HONDA LEVEL OF APPEAL, WHERE I AM STILL AWAITING A RESOLUTION. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THAT THE SPARE TIRE CAN POSSIBLY FALL OFF THE VEHICLE IF THE SPARE TIRE LUGS FAIL, AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS DOCUMENTED FOR OTHER CR-V OWNERS TO HELP WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

AIR BAGS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN SLOW TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE POLICE AND AMBULANCE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,000.

SUSPENSION
BOUGHT A 2006 CRV IN APROX BEGINNING OF JUNE, AFTER ONLY 10,000 MILES WE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT FAILED, THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER SNAPPED, WENT THROUGH 3 TIRES AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING FUNNY NOISES AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED FLUID REPLACEMENT. AFTER 10,000 MORE MILES THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THEY SAID WE NEED 2 MORE NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT. ONCE THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS REPLACED THE NOISE AND THE PULLING STOPS, BUT ONLY AFTER 10,000 MILES IT COMES BACK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON PROBLEMS WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL BUT IT STARTED A COUPLE OF 1000 CARS AFTER OURS, SO WE CAN NOT HAVE OURS FIXED, AND TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD HONDA JUST CHANGED THE MAINTENANCE ON IT TO EVERY 15,000 MILES BUT THE MANUAL SAYS IT ONLY NEEDS IT EVERY 60,000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THE AC COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP ON 9/13/08. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 44300 MILES. THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE WITHOUT THE AC. THE DEALER QUOTED $3000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR BECAUSE THE FAILURE OF THE COMPRESSOR CREATED OTHER PROBLEMS AND ALL THE LINES HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE AN EXTENDED 72 MONTH/72K MILE WARRANTY WHICH SHOULD COVER ALL BUT $100 DEDUCTIBLE. AN ADJUSTOR MUST FIRST APPROVE THE REPAIRS, SO IT WILL BE SEVERAL DAYS BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CR-V 2 YEARS AGO. MY TRADE IN VEHICLE WAS A 1997 HONDA CR-V. SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT, AND SOMETIMES THE DOME LIGHT INSIDE THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BLOWING OUT ON AVERAGE, EVERY TWO MONTHS. DURING THE LAST YEAR OR 2 BEFORE TRADING THE 1997 CR-V, I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING ON THAT VEHICLE ALSO. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HENDRICKS HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC. I HAVE MOST OF MY SERVICE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, DONE AT THAT DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THAT THEY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I VISITED SUPERIOR HONDA RECENTLY IN ORANGEBURG SOUTH CAROLINA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER THERE TOLD ME THAT IN RECENT MONTHS, HE WAS AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE CR-V OWNER AND SEVERAL OWNERS OF CIVICS WHO HAVE COME BACK AND FORTH TO THEIR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT. HENDRICKS HONDA ADVISED AGAINST CONTACTING THE CORPORATION AND SAID IT WOULD LIKELY REFER THE MATTER BACK TO THEM. I COMMUTE TO WORK 120 MILES ROUND TRIP DAILY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS AND HIGHWAY PATROLMEN REGARDING ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS BEING OUT. I NOW CARRY COPIES OF THE SERVICE REQUESTS SHOWING THAT I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DURING MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOW THESE TO THE OFFICE AS PROOF THAT THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AND I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE IT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND/OR TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, OR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS, AND HAVE FOUND NONE. POST SCRIPT: THERE ARE NUMEROUS "INCIDENT DATES". THE ONE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT. *TR

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS, TIRES:VALVE
TODAY I HAD A 4TH VALVE STEM FAILURE THAT HAS OCCURRED ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV THAT I PURCHASED USED ON AUGUST 3, 2007. THE 1ST VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON AUGUST 3, 2007 ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE. THE 2ND VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 10,2007 ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. THE 3RD VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2008 ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AGAIN. THE 4TH VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON JUNE 18, 2008 ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I FOUND OUT TODAY THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF SOME VALVE STEMS SURE TO FAILURE. I DO NOT KNOW THE ODDS OF ONE CAR HAVING FOUR VALVE STEM FAILURES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR, BUT I CAM GUESS THAT THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS A LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON TELLING ME THAT THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN. IT IS NOT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS REALLY A SAFETY AND SECURITY PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON, THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED TWICE , THE LAST TIME BEING NOV. 15TH 2007. I AM READY TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE NOW IT COMES ON AND PRETTY MUCH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
THE SEAT BELT LOCKED IN AN OPEN POSITION UPON IMPACT, CAUSING MY FATHER INJURY TO HIS CHEST AS HE WAS IMPACTED UPON THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY; THE FORCEFUL COLLISION CAUSED THE FRAME IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. THIS VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I ASKED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS LOCATED AT THREE (3) DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. THEY IGNORED MY REQUEST. THE COMPLAINT NUMBER THAT I WAS ASSIGNED BY AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION IS #N012007-07-2300426. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LEVER DOES NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION DURING LANE CHANGES - NO LOUD ALARM ALERT TO DRIVER THAT DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL IS CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING. MANY OTHER MAKES AND MODELS PRODUCE A LOUD AUDIBLE TONE TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF SUCH DANGEROUS CONDITIONS - BUT THE HONDA DOES NOT. *TR

I AM NOT SURE IF YOU CAN HELP ME. HOWEVER, MY COMPLAINT IS WITH DESERT HONDA OF LAS VEGAS, NV (702) 369-3099. I TOOK MY 2006 HONDA CRV FOR MAJOR SERVICE, AND THEY DID NOT PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE LEFT LUG NUTS ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS OVERSIGHT IN TIME BEFORE I DROVE THE CAR ANY DISTANCE. HOWEVER, THIS WAS A POTENTIALLY FATAL MISTAKE THAT THEY SHRUGGED OFF, AND I'M SURE HAVE FORGOTTEN BY NOW. *JB

THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT ON MY 06 HONDA CRV WILL NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT, IT WAS RE-ALIGNED SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY AS A NEW VEHICLE, AND HAS BEEN DONE AGAIN ON 2-3 OCCASIONS.

HE ADVISED ME THAT HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON THE ISSUE BUT COULD OFFER NO FURTHER INFO. *TR
