STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FAIRFAX COUNTY PARKWAY (WESTBOUND BETWEEN GREENSPRING VILLAGE AND ROLLING RD) AT ABOUT 40 OR 45MPH, THE HOOD ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV OPENED BY ITSELF. IT FLEW OPEN AND OBSTRUCTED THE WINDOW. I HAD TO STOP IN A TRAVEL LANE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE SHOULDER AT LOW SPEED. I'M LUCKY I WASNT HURT AND DIDNT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD NOT OPENED THE HOOD IN WEEKS.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN THE SECOND RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. TWO YEARS AGAIN I HAD TO BRING IT IN FOR THE SAME RECALL, THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME AS IT TAKES TIME FOR ME TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS. IN THE PAST THE PARTS WERE NOT MADE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE RECALL HAD BEEN IN PLACE FOR ALMOST A YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED AND I HAD TO TRAVEL 2 HOURS TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED FOR THIS RECALL. NOW AGAIN ANOTHER RECALL ON THE SAME PART?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTING ACTING STRANGE - ACCELERATION WAS VERY WEAK, STEERING WAS HEAVY, AND WHEN I WAS STOPPED CAR WOULD NEARLY STALL. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH WAS ALARMING. I TOOK CAR INTO HONDA DEALER AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THEY SAID I NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO A GLITCH IN THE INITIAL SOFTWARE AND CHARGED ME $224 WHICH I WAS NOT HAPPY TO PAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THEIR CAR SOFTWARE SINCE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE AFFECTED THEIR CAR SOFTWARE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY, THREATENING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
10-YEAR-OLD HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 60K MILES EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF TWO KEY SENSORS IN JUNE 2016: 1) THE VSA/ABS CONTROL MODULE, AND 2) THE AIR/FUEL RATIO SENSOR. THE FAILURE OF #1 CAUSED THE ABS AND TCS LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO TURN ON; AND THE LOSS OF #2 CAUSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO TURN ON. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE BOTH VIA NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS $2,425, WHICH OWNER PAID. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, SO FILING COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
VSA AND EXCLAMATION SIGN LIGHTS LIT ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND INFORMED THE VSA MODULATOR HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED...AT A COST OF $2682. MY SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS PART FAILS QUITE A BIT ON HONDAS AND NEEDS TO BE MADE RECALLED SINCE ITS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT CONSTANTLY DROPS DOWN AND BLOCKS MY VIEW. IF I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE I EITHER HAVE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND OR LAY MY SEAT BACK MORE. BOTH OF THESE SITUATIONS ARE MAJOR SAFETY HAZARDS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA WANTS OVER $100 TO REPLACE ONE SUN VISOR - A MONOPOLY FOR THEM.

STEERING
I AM THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN EXAMINING THE VEHICLE. MR. JARED LARSEN COMPLAINED THAT HIS STEERING WHEEL BEGAN BEING OFF CENTER BOTH TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT. SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS 90 DEGREES OFF CENTER. UPON EXAMINING THE VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEEL INSERT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTS TO THE STEERING SHAFT HAS STRIPPED OUT TO THE STEERING WHEEL. UNDER MODERATE PRESSURE THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOOSE AND THERE IS NO STEERING RESPONSE. (NOTICE THE WHITE STRIPE AT THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION IN THE PICTURES AND THE SECOND PICTURE THE STRIPE IS SPLIT BETWEEN 9 AND 12) LOSS OF STEERING CAN RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AND THE OLD STEERING WHEEL AVAILABLE FOR EXAMINATION ON REQUEST.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OVER THE LAST 12-16 MONTHS, THE LOW-BEAM BULB FOR THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1-2 MONTHS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. IN FACT, IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAD ISSUED RECALLS ON AN EARLIER MODEL YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE BUT HAVE RESISTED RECALLING ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS. I HAVE NOT YET DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER LOW-BEAM BULB SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN EFFECTED MORE THAN THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK THE TIMING OF THE BULB FAILURES, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT MAY BE RELATED TO LONG DISTANCE TRIPS OF OVER 100 MILES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE AN AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL COMPANY LOOK AT IT AND TRY TO TRACE THE FAULT.

THE USED 2006 HONDA CR-V AWD THAT I PURCHASED FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN OCT 2016 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE 405 FREEWAY IN KIRKLAND, WA IN MAR 2017. THE HONDA CR-V REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV SE THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A EXPOSED WIRE GOING TO THE FUSE BOX. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM THOUGH. MY DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT A MONTH AGO AGAIN, AND THEN CAME BACK ON FOR A WEEK. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. I WENT TO LEAVE WORK LAST NIGH, AND NOW BOTH LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE RECALL DEPARTMENT, AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY CAR. I PAID $400 LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AGO TO FIX THIS, AND NOW I HAVE A WORSE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS I'M PAST MY WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ALL LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT STROBING AND PULSING. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND MY NEXT STEP IS TO CALL THE NHTSA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. I AM URGING ANYONE HAVING ISSUES TO CALL THE HONDA RECALL LINE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT DO A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AS I AM A TOYOTA GIRL, BUT I DECIDED TO GIVE THEM A SHOT. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE LOOKING AT HONDA'S NEXT YEAR WHEN I GO TO DO MY TRADE IN. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH JUST THE HEADLIGHTS, AND OTHER LIGHTS IN MY CAR THAT AND HAD NOT ISSUES AT ALL WITH MY LAST TOYOTA. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR OF MY 2006 CRV SAGS DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSES IT TO SAG EVEN LOWER. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THE OBVIOUS VISIBILITY REASON, BUT COULD ALSO BE DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA STARTED MAKING AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT PART THAT SHOULDN'T SAG, BUT FAILED TO UPDATE THE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED. I CURRENTLY HAVE MINE TIED UP WITH TWINE UNTIL I CAN GET A REPLACEMENT VISOR.
