LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE ACTUATOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND COULD PREVENT EMERGENCY EXIT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR AN ADULT TO MANUALLY OVERIDE THE LOCK AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CHILD. ONE ACTUATOR FAILURE CAUSES MULTIPLE DOORS NOT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE HONDA DEALER WILL NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

AIR BAGS
IN SEPT 2009 AT APPROXIMATELY 58,500 MILES, SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER POWERING CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN. PER OWNERS MANUAL, TOOK CAR TO FAMILY HONDA DEALER IN RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CALIFORNIA TO INVESTIGATE (PRESUMABLY UNDER HONDACARE NO DEDUCTIBLE EXTENDED WARRANTY). SERVICE TECH FOUND TROUBLE CODE 81-43, AND REINITIALIZED/ RECALIBRATED THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR (OPDS) AND CHARGED ME $95 DUE TO THE DIAGNOSIS NOT BEING COVERED BY HONDACARE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSED HARDWARE FAILURE. SEPTEMBER 2011, APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILES: SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND REMAINED ON AFTER SUBSEQUENT POWER ON, POWER OFF CYCLES. APPROXIMATELY ONE DAY LATER (AND SEVERAL POWER CYCLES LATER), THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT WENT OUT THE FOLLOWING POWER ON/OFF CYCLE. LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON AGAIN. THERE IS NO COVER ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I DO NOT USE IT FOR STORAGE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH IN OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V ON THE BACK DRIVER SEAT. IT WAS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I WAS ON THE WAY BACK HOME WITH AN 8 WEEK OLD BABY . WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN DOOR I REALIZED THAT THE DOORS WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- I COULDN'T OPEN THEM AT ALL. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESULT. THE BABY I WAS CARING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER MANY TRIES, I USED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER DOORS AND THE TRUNK WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- JAMMED. I COULDN'T EVEN OPEN WITH THE KEY. I WAS SO SCARED AS I'M USING THAT CAR TO GO TO THE DOCTOR OR FOR SHOPPING PURPOSES. ALL THE TIME MY BABY IS WITH ME AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND WE WENT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA SERVICE- MCGRATH HONDA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY CAN FIX IT THE NEXT DAY FOR $500. THEY DID. THE NEXT DAY CAR WAS FIXED, BUT ON MY BACK WAY HOME I REALIZED THAT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE AND THEY FIX THE DOOR FOR FREE AS IT WERE THE THIRD DOOR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE CAR WILL BE ON FIRE? HOW I WILL ESCAPE WITH MY BABY IF THE DOORS ARE JAMMED? WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MY BABY IF THE SITUATION WILL REPEAT? *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
ENGINE AND VSA WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V. HONDA DEALER SAID IT WAS OUR TIMING CHAIN AND THAT THIS WAS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH CARS OVER 100,000 MILES. HONDA SUPPOSEDLY HAD SOLVED THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR BELTS BY GOING TO THE CHAIN. OUR CAR HAD 98,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST TO FIX THIS WAS $1,600.00! DRIVING THE CR-V RIGHT AFTER THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED THE TPMS ALARM CAME ON. NOW WE HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND DUE TO HIGH REPAIR COSTS CANNOT GET FIXED RIGHT AWAY, SO LEFT DRIVING WITHOUT THIS SAFETY SYSTEM. TALKED TO DEALER WAS NO HELP AND HONDA OF AMERICA WAS NO HELP. THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL AS WE SHOULD. THE HONDA CR-V MAINTENANCE BOOK SAID TO CHANGE OIL WHEN THE OIL CHANGE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, THIS IS WHAT WE DID EACH AND EVERY TIME, BUT HONDA SAID WE SHOULD CHANGE BEFORE THAT! WHY DO THEY STATE TO CHANGE WHEN WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IF THIS IS NOT TRUE? WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS RELIABLE AND LOW MAINTENANCE! *KB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, MY A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND FIRESTONE AUTOCARE. I WAS TOLD THE COMPRESSOR HAS BUSTED. THE TOTAL REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT US$1300. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CRVS AND I AM SURPRISE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS YET. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND DISGUSTING THAT IN THE TIME OF THE ECONOMY WE ARE FORCED TO BEAR THE COST OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. HONDA SEEMS TO GIVE YOU A RUN AROUND EXCUSE. I LIVE IN CHICAGO WHERE 9 MONTHS OUT OF 12 MONTHS YOU DO NOT NEED AN A/C. THIS IS MY 4TH SUMMER AND ADDING THE MATH, THE A/C LASTED JUST A LITTLE OVER 9 MONTHS. PLEASE GIVE THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEFORE WE ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WE NOTICED A BURNING RUBBER SMELL RIGHT AFTER WE GOT MY HONDA CR-V. THOUGHT MAYBE THIS THE WAY IT SMELLS WHEN WE TRAVEL MOUNTAINS. WE LIVE IN A VERY MOUNTAINOUS AREA. FOUND OUT AFTER 83000 THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH PREMATURE FAILURE OF AC COMPRESSOR. SO THEN IT HAPPENS THE A C STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS OVER 107 DEGREES. I TOOK THE CAR THE NEAREST GARAGE, NO HONDA DEALERS COULD LOOK AT MY CAR FOR AT LEAST 1 WEEK. SO THE GARAGE I TOOK IT TOO SD THAT THEY NOTICED BLUE ON THE METAL OF THE COMPRESSOR HOUSING AND AROUND THE PULLEY. NO WEAR OR TEARING ON THE BELT THOUGH. THE GARAGE MECHANIC C SD THAT THE BLUE ON THE HOUSING MEANT THAT THE METAL ON THE HOUSING WAS GETTING REALLY HOT, WHICH WOULD ACCT OR THE SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER. I HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRED BECAUSE MY GARAGE CANNOT FIND AN AC COMPRESSOR IN NORTH AMERICA. SO LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS OR FIRES BUT TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CR-V. I HAVE REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THIS VEHICLE. A THIRD DOOR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF NOT LOCKING. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY FOR THE DOOR REPAIR AND THEN I MIGHT GET A REFUND DEPENDING ON THE DISTRICT MANGERS CONSENT. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A HAZARD IF SOME HAS SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2007 HONDA AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION. IN DECEMBER 2010 THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BACK DOOR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. HONDA MADE ME PAY FOR IT AND THEY REIMBURSED 1/2 SINCE I WAS PAST WARRANTY. NOW ITS APRIL 2011 AND HERE I AM AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS LOCKING THEN POPS OPEN AGAIN. IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. I AM AT HONDA AND IT IS GOING TO COST $238.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOOKS. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL OPEN TO CARJACKERS AS I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND, AND I HAVE NO CAPABILITY OF SECURING MY CAR AND THE ITEMS IN IT. THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FIRST AND THEN THEY MIGHT REFUND TO ME PART OF THE FEES. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THEIR DEFECTS. I CAN REQUEST THE OLD PART FOR THIS LAST CORRECTION. IF YOU WANT ME TO SEND IT TO YOU. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER SHIP HAD BEEN REPLACING THE DOOR LOCKS. *TR

CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND 500-600 TO FIX. ELECTRICAL POWER LOCKS SHOULD NOT GO BAD SHAME ON HONDA. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
WARNING FOR TIRE SIGNAL CAME ON DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH TIRE PRESSURE (AGAIN). I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER FOR AIR AND PRESSURE CHECK ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT ALL 4 OF MY YOKOHAMA TIRES HAT ONE INCH PLUS OF DRY ROT. THESE TIRES ARE ABOUT ONE YEAR OLD, HAVE APPROX. 35,000 MILES ON THEM AND MY VEHICLE HAS AN OUTSTANDING SERVICE RECORD. COPIES OF RECEIPTS SHOW THAT EVERY 40,000 MILES I PURCHASED NEW TIRES. ALL WORK AND ALL PART PURCHASES HAVE BEEN DONE 100% AT HONDA DEALER-JACK MATIA IN ELYRIA, OHIO. THE ONLY SERVICE PERFORMED OUT OF THE DEALER IS TWICE A YEAR DETAIL SERVICE DONE AT A REPUTABLE DETAIL SHOP IN WESTLAKE, OHIO. UPON MY CONTACTING THE DEALER AND VISITING THEM, THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD BE MISSED AND NEVER WITNESSED "DRY ROT". THE RETURN/CREDIT PROCESS WITH THE DEALER AND TIRE RACK (HONDA'S DISTRIBUTOR) WAS AN INSULT ON TOP OF HAVING TO PURCHASE BRAND NEW TIRES AND MY CHOICE, A DIFFERENT BRAND. I EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT AND ANGER TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSULTED. RESEARCH ON MY END INDICATES THAT THERE IS IN FACT DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THE TIRES AND DRY ROT AND THE I BELIEVE THE DEALER IS JUST AS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TIRES SINCE THEY SOLD THEM AND INSTALLED THEM FOR ME AND SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT IS ONE INCH AND HALF ON ALL OF THE TIRES. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. NO HARM CAME TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE. HOWEVER, I FEEL I AM DUE COMPENSATION/REFUND FOR THIS PURCHASE AND THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO INSURE THAT NO HARM COMES TO ANYONE ELSE THAT MIGHT HAVE YOKOHAMA TIRES. *TR
