VTC ACTUATOR IS NEEDING CONSTANT REPLACING ASAP OR IT WILL STRETCH THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH WILL CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. I AM ON MY 2ND REPLACEMENT OF THE VTC ACTUATOR IN 2 WEEKS. NO MAJOR DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED AS YET BUT I AM TRYING TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. THE HONDA FIX IS NOT A FIX

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, GOING 47MPH & ACCELERATING AS I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON HIGH WAY, WHEN MY CARS ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. I DIDENT EVEN NOTICE AT FIRST BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY AND QUIETLY. I ONLY NOTICED BECAUSE THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND STOP THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. CAR WOULD NOT RUN SINCE THIS HAPPENED. CAR WILL START BUT DIE ON IDEL. HAVE REPLACED STARTER, MAIN RELAY, IGNITION, SPARK PLUGS AND HAVE HAD 4 AUTO SHOPS LOOK AT IT AND STILL NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE RETURNED TO MY PARKED CAR WHICH WAS LOCKED AND HAD ALL THE WINDOWS AND POWER SUNROOF CLOSED WHEN I LEFT IT, TO FIND ALL FOUR WINDOWS HALF WAY DOWN AND THE POWER SUNROOF THREE INCHES OPEN. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT HAD RAINED BEFORE OR WAS BEGINNING TO RAIN UPON MY RETURN TO THE CAR AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF THE RAIN STORM HAD BEEN WORSE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED, MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT AND THIS MALFUNCTION CREATED A SAFETY AND SECURITY RISK FOR MY FAMILY AND PROPERTY. THE HONDA CR-V MANUAL INDICATES THAT THERE IS A "FEATURE" WHERE IF A PERSON PRESSES THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB ONCE AND THEN PRESSES IT AGAIN AND HOLDS IT FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 SECONDS, ALL THE WINDOWS WILL BE LOWERED HALF WAY AND PARTIALLY OPENS THE SUNROOF. MY KEY FOB HOWEVER WAS NOT IN A PLACE WHERE THE UNLOCK BUTTON COULD BE PUSHED TWICE IN THIS PATTERN AND THESE INSTANCES WERE NOT DUE TO OPERATOR ERRORS. HONDA CURRENTLY DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SUCH ISSUE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT MY WEB SEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER CR-V AND CERTAIN ACURA OWNERS ABOUT EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ADVISED BY AMERICAN HONDA THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST AND THEY CANNOT FILE ANYTHING WITH HONDA AMERICA REGARDING THE ISSUE. SINCE THIS IS A LOW OCCURRENCE RATE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, CUSTOMERS WILL FRUITLESSLY PAY HONDA TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION OF IT UNLESS HONDA IS FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS IT BY THE NHTSA. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU DO WHATEVER IS IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE HONDA RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS AT A MINIMUM, AN UNLOCKED VEHICLE ALLOWS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRIMINAL GAINING ACCESS AND BEING PRESENT INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THE OWNER RETURNS.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, DRIVING SLOW AS I WAS IN MY SUBDIVISION MY VEHICLE STARTED JERKING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING REPEATEDLY. I NOTICED A BAD ODOR. I WAS ONLY A MINUTE OR SO FROM HOME AND DRIVING SLOWLY, MAYBE 10 OR 15 MPH. THE SPUTTERING, JERKING AND FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. I GOT HALF WAY UP MY DRIVEWAY AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STALLING SO I STOPPED AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. A STRONG BURNING SMELL CONTINUED AND I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST PIPE.

WHEN DRIVING, MY DOORS WILL SPONTANEOUSLY LOCK AND UNLOCK - I DO NOT PUSH THE BUTTONS TO DO SO. ALSO, MY BACKSEAT DOORS DO NOT LOCK. THEY APPEAR LOCKED, BUT THE DOORS STILL OPEN NO MATTER WHAT. MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO LOCKS IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
THE SAFETY FEATURE REACTS TO SHADOWS ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES WHERE IF I'M DRIVING UNDER A BRIDGE THE CAR WILL BEEP AND SHOW A MESSAGE ASKING ME TO HIT THE BRAKES. I THINK THE CAR SEES THE SHADOW OF THE BRIDGE ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AS AN OBJECT AND IS ASKING ME TO STOP/ HIT THE BRAKES. IF THE CAR EVER APPLIES AUTOMATIC BRAKING, THEN THE CAR BEHIND ME CAN SLAM INTO ME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. EVERY TIME I STOP AND START DRIVING AGAIN, THE LOCKS TRY TO LOCK BUT DO NOT ALL STAY LOCKED. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FOR CRVS FROM 2007.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OIL LEVELS IN CAR ARE ABOVE THE DIPSTICK AND SMELL LIKE PETROLEUM HAS LEAKED INTO THE OIL. THE FIX THAT HONDA INTRODUCED FOR THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE HAS CLEARLY NOT WORKED. INSIDE OF CAR HAS A PETROLEUM SMELL. MAKES ME LIGHTHEADED/DIZZY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY - STOP THE CAR AND AIR IT OUT. THERE WAS NOT ACCIDENT, BUT THIS CONTINUE ISSUE CAN CAUSE A MAJOR PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING ACCIDENT, INJURY AND DEATH.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS ON HIGHWAY I35 HEADING TO DALLAS DRIVING 70MPH. SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 18 WHEELERS AND OTHER TRAFFIC ZOOMING BY ME HONKING DUE TO MY SPEED DRASTICALLY DROPPING. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS TERRIFIED I WAS GOING TO GET SLAM INTO BY ONE OF THE MANY SEMI-TRUCKS. IT WAS TERRIFYING. CALLED AND HAD MY CAR TOWED. CLEO BAY HONDA (KILEEN, TX) SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE OF ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY TO HEAD BACK TO GEORGETOWN AND THE SAMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN. I AGAIN WAS FORCED TO CROSS 2-3 LANES BY COASTING TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THEY NOW ARE GOING TO REPLACE ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR'S SAFETY. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN, FEARING THE 3RD TIME I WILL BE KILLED. I DODGED TWO BULLETS WITH THIS CAR, WHY SHOULD I BE FORCED TO DODGE ANYMORE? VERY SCARY! THIS CAR WAS PROGRAMED TO SHUT DOWN WHEN A MISFIRE OCCURS BUT THEY FAIL TO CONSIDER WHERE THE DRIVER MIGHT BE WHEN IT HAPPENS. TWICE IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND I LOST ALL SPEED WITH CARS/SEMI-TRUCKS GOING 70-75MPH PAST ME AND I AM FORCED TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE FEAR THAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WAS STILL FRIGHTENING AND TO HAVE IT HAPPEN A SECOND TIME WAS TERRIFYING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING IT. IF NOT ME SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECT!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ALL DASH LIGHT WARNINGS COME ON THE CAR SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHILE IDLING. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND THEY FIX A DIFFERENT PROBLEM EVERY TIME BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S THE FUEL INJECTORS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I WAS BE OUT OF POCKET $1200. QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL HONDA'S INCLUDING THE FIT AND PILOT FROM 2016,2017 AND NOW 2018 BUT THEY HAVE YET TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I AM RELEVANT TO PAY FOR FUEL INJECTORS ONLY TO HAVE MORE ISSUES. AND IF IT IS THE FUEL INJECTORS THEY SHOULD NOT BE FAILING ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 50K MILES. WHERE'S THE RECALL OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR FUEL INJECTORS? THE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.

DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE DRIVING OR PARKED. IT HAS FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED WITH ENGINE RUNNING. ERROR REQUIRES A COMPUTER RESET TO CLEAR IT.

AT THE SPEED OF 25 - 30 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD LAST WEEK I WAS REALLY SCARED! I LOOKED UP THE DESCRIPTION ON GOOGLE AND WOW!Z THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS! THEY SAID IT WAS A PROGRAM ISSUE FOR THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE! HOWEVER, WHEN PEOPLE TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE PROGRAM UPGRADE; AND GET THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED AND REPLACED, THE PROBLEM QUICKLY RETURNS!!!!!!!! SO.....HOW DO I GET THIS VEHICLE FIXED! I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT!!!!!! I BOUGHT THE CAR THROUGH HENDRICK TOYOTA ON RIVERS AVE IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. THEY TOOK THE HONDA CRV VEHICLE IN AS A TRADE FOR A TOYOTA. SO, WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS DUD!!! IT IS A BAD SEED AS FOR A CAR. WHO IS GOING TO MAKE GOOD ON THE BAD PART CALLED A TRANSMISSION? IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEGINNING SOON AFTER I MADE THE PURCHASE!

CODE P0172 APPEARED. HONDA REPLACE A/C CONTROL MODULE WITH NO CHARGE UNDER BULLETIN 19-032. HONDA STATED "IF THE CODE COMES BACK ON THEY WILL NEED TO REPLACE INJECTORS AS WELL." THE CODE CAME BACK IN A MONTH BUT NOW THEY SAY ITS OFF WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY $1507.08 FOR INJECTOR REPLACEMENT. THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE INJECTORS FROM THE START.
