SUSPENSION
I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE REAR CAMBER IS AT ITS UPPER LIMITS SO WE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH REAR SPRINGS, UPPER LINKS, PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE HITCH AND REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. TOTAL COST WOULD BE $2165. THEIR REASONING WAS THE WEIGHT OF THE HITCH CAUSED THE SPRINGS TO WEAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH 32 MILES AND NOW HAS 84,000. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN PREFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AT FACTORY RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. THE HITCH WAS INSTALLED THE SAME MONTH THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO HAUL ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HITCH HAULER WITH A 40 QUART COOLER FULL OF ICE AND DRINKS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THIS CAUSED THE SPRINGS TO FAIL.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA CRV WITH 13,000 MILES ON IN, A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AT 31,000 MILES THE VTC ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD MAKE A GRINDING NOISE ON START-UP. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE NOISE AND ONLY HAVE 65K MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE IN HONDA FORUMS AND THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH IT AS THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN ISSUED, BUT NO RECALL YET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR IDLING, OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE NOT REGISTERING. DEALER FOUND "CODES B1227 OPEN IN THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, C0051-54 STEERING ANGLE SENSOR LEARNING INCOMPLETE, OTHER AREAS HARNESSES DAMAGED INSULATION AND TUBING, ...". ENTIRE MAIN ELECTRICAL HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD, COULD A SAFETY FEATURE HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED? PROBLEM ATTRIBUTED TO RODENT DAMAGE, YET CAR WAS PARKED IN THE SAME PLACE AS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD, WHICH I TRADED IN TO GET THE SUBJECT VEHICLE, FOR SIX YEARS. THIS NEW VEHICLE IS 11 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 2695 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER DID NOT CONSIDER THIS AS A DESIGN DEFECT.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON OUR HONDA CRV IN MARCH 2020. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE AIRBAG RECALL AND HAD BEEN ASSURED THAT OUR VEHICLE WASN'T AFFECTED, NOW HONDA HAS CHANGED THEIR STORY. WE HAVEN'T BEEN USING OUR CRV FOR FEAR OF A DEADLY ACCIDENT. WE ARE FRUSTRATED THAT PARTS FOR REPAIRING THIS WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR NEARLY A YEAR. MOREOVER, THERE'S BEEN NO OFFER OF A LOANER CAR OR OTHER SUITABLE SHORT TERM REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD EITHER PROVIDE A TOTAL AIRBAG REPLACEMENT, OR A LOANER CAR FOR THE DURATION AT THEIR COST.

AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT AT 46,000 MILES. HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH AC UNITS ON THEIR CARS, ESPECIALLY CRVS AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. CAN'T BELIEVE A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR WILL NEED $THOUSANDS TO REPAIR AFTER BUYING CAR NEW. I AM SPREADING THE WORD TO NOT BUY HONDAS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING 40MPH ON A CITY STREET IT WAS A SUNNY 83 DEGREE DAY WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY CRV SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BY ITSELF. THE SPEEDOMETER TURNED ORANGE AND SAID "BRAKE". THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FALSELY DETECTED SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING. WE JERKED TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ALMOST HITTING US. MY SON, DOG, AND I WERE EXTREMELY SCARED. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS A LITTLE OFF BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER REASON THAT THE CMBS WOULD MALFUNCTION? I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE ISSUE WITH 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV'S EQUIPPED WITH THIS FEATURE AND HONDA HAS NOT DONE A RECALL BUT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT OF CALIFORNIA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE 1 YR AND A FEW MONTHS AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WIPED OUT AND THE SOFTWARE REINSTALLED MORE THAN 2X DUE TO 'PROBLEM' DASH LIGHTS ALL OF THE SUDDEN SCROLLING;ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, ECT. THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FENDER BENDER IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS CHAOS, BUT THE PROBLEMS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT IN MAY2019. AT ONE TIME THE COMPUTER WOULD CLEAR ITSELF OUT AND I COULD RIDE AROUND FOR A DAY OR TWO WITHOUT ALL THESE LIGHTS FLASHING. THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE. THESE SCROLLING PROBLEM LIGHTS OCCUR AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BUT NOW THEY COME ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN I TURN ON THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THIS AND MONTHS AGO, WHEN I WAS ROUNDING A CORNER ON THE FREEWAY ALL THE SUDDEN THE BRAKE ASSIST ENGAGED AS IF I WAS TOO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS QUITE A JOLT. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS OCTOBER/NOVEMBER. 2019. THIS EVENING I GOT MY OIL CHANGED AND THE MECHANIC FOUND GAS IN MY OIL; I MENTIONED A GAS ODOR LAST WINTER TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR OIL CHANGE. THEY BASICALLY BLEW IT OFF. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT NOW. IN FACT I EVEN SAVED SOME OF THE OIL THAT CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE TO SHOW MY HUSBAND WHEN HE GETS HOME. I HAVE USED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS THUS FAR BECAUSE OF WORKMANSHIP ISSUES AT THE FIRST DEALERSHIP. NOW DEALERSHIP NUMBER TWO DOES NOT EVEN WANT TO TOUCH MY VEHICLE.

JUST PICKED UP NEW TO ME USED VEHICLE 8/21/20. 8/22/20 THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE. TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER'S. I DID RECEIVE A LOANER CAR. PICKED IT UP ON 8/26/20. GOT ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM HOME AND THE EPS CAME ON. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. CALLED DEALER BACK. THEY ARE BRINGING ME A LOANER AND TAKING MY CRV BACK TO TRY AND GET DIAGNOSIS. VERY UPSET AS I NEED THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK SATURDAY.
