AIR BAGS
My husband was I voved in a accident where the other driver hit him in the front side of the bumper where one of the airbag indicators are located. We took the vehicle in for inspection of repairs and they told us that that airbag sensor was triggered which caused the airbag light to turn off. We are concerned because of the sensor was hit then why didn’t the airbags deploy?...it shows on the steering wheel the small part has been lifted where the airbag is but it didn’t fully deploy..this is a big safety issue ..the husband could have been seriously injured if this was a huge accident because the airbags should have deployed if the sensors was hit. The seatbelt is also not properly working which is also an indicator that the airbags are not working now. I need someone to get back to me with this issue to resolve this issue and fix my airbags

Yes our safety was put at risk my husband was driving the car when this occurred. The rear frame stiffener rusted and broke, the tire almost came off in the process. There were no warnings prior to the event and Honda didn’t reach out notifying us of this problem that they were aware of. The vehicle is available for inspection. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected. We reached out to Honda regarding this and they haven’t wanted to do anything about it. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189133-0001.pdf https://hondanews.ca/en-CA/hci-corporate/releases/release-ab89226b670509f394802c0ef6b6a0e36e3789d2-statement-by-honda-canada-inc-regarding-safety-recall-2007-11-honda-cr-v

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
While performing maintenance on the car, I found that the left (drivers) rear mounting bracket which is a part of the frame/body, and hold the right rear trailing arm - holding the rear axle was severely rusted and cracking apart from corrosion. The right (passenger) bracket showed no rust damage. This problem has been reported by others, and Canada has found the same issues and issued a recall for this car/vin group. Although this car is 15 years old, this thick 3/8" heavy metal bracket should not have disintegrated like this even with the salt used on the highways, and is shown with absolutely no issue with the right (passenger side)bracket. Upon taking it to the dealer, there was nothing they could do, nor could they get the "fix" being used in Canada or any other information as to how they are correcting this problem. Suggestion is to buy a new car or take it to a body shop and see if they could fabricate a repair. Honda dealer did not seem to be too concerned about this rust, so I will have to go elsewhere to have it evaluated. From what I have found here on the internet, this is a serious problem, and when it breaks as it has for others, you loose control of the car because the axle is now only attached to one side of the car. If there is a fix for this, (as they have one in Canada) they should be compelled to provide it. This isn't a who pays for the repair. It's been known for some time now, and they should have already addressed this. But to withhold the safety fix isn't acceptable.

On March 20, we were driving 2007 Honda CRV in the city of Worcester, MA at ~20mph when we heard a large "Clunk" followed by a dragging noise and immediate skidding of the vehicle. We were not able to get the vehicle to the side of the road. When it was safe to get out, we noticed the rear wheel was broken and parallel to the ground. The police came and had the car towed to East Side Auto Center 235 Shrewsbury Street Worcester, MA 01604 508-798-9100 Contact Person = Frank Santamaria Upon inspection, Mr. Santamaria informed us that the frame was completely rotted in the rear, causing the suspension components to separate from the frame. He further stated that repair was not possible. In researching the issue, I found that Honda Canada had recalled 2007-2011 Honda CRV's for this same defect. As part of the recall, Honda Canada was buying back eligible vehicles or repairing them at their expense. I filed a claim with Honda America and was denied any compensation. There are several complaints on the internet for the same issue. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/honda/cr-v/body-problems.php Such a catastrophic failure poses a serious safety issue, especially if the failure happens in a congested area, on a highway at elevated speeds, or in a rural area where assistance is not readily accessible. I believe Honda should recall these vehicles before someone gets injured or killed from their neglegence.

This vehicle was purchased used in 2018. Locks were working appropriately. Since then, all 3 locks besides the driver side have failed. I would be so appreciative if the recall would be honored and Honda would pay for the repair and labor to have these problems fixed. It is known to be a mechanical problem and no fault of my own.

I have a 2007 Honda CRV , I am the original owner. I have had issues with the locking system from the beginning. I brought it to the dealer and was told they couldn't find a problem. I went back for a recall and the dealer told me they didn't have the parts at the time. I should bring it back. My fault here, life got in my way (divorce, pandemic, etc.) I went back to the dealer, they replaced the drivers side door lock (still warenteed) but said the other locks were no longer under warrenty and it would cost approx 300$ for my passenger side lock. Additionally, they fixed the drivers side lock and now the trunk hatch won't open

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was backing out of a parking space in a lot when my car lurched forward and accelerated. I had to slam on the brake to stop it but by then I had hit the car parked next to me as well as the grocery cart return racks. I did significant damage to both but no one was hurt. A routine maneuver turned into a terrifying event. It felt as if the car went from going routinely in reverse to taking off in drive. At first I thought that my foot had slipped off the brake and stated as much but I was speaking kind of out of shock and bewilderment, it was a pretty intense experience. My foot would not have been on the braked since I was backing out. There were obstacles to my pulling forward, namely the grocery cart return racks. When it was over I turned off my engine and my transmission locked and stayed that way for about 10 minutes. I had a similar experience in March 2019 but it was after a very heavy snowstorm so I didn't file a claim with the insurance carrier, I thought it must be condition related but conditions were perfect yesterday. I noticed that there are similar complaints listed here so what does it take to initiate a recall? I also noticed that a milder version of what I experienced was cause for a recall on the 2008 Honda Ridgeline associated with the accelerator pedal assembly. That resulted in the assembly being replaced in Honda CR-Vs through 2006 so I wonder whether 2007's have a variation of the same problem or they should have been included in that recall. I've filed an insurance claim and I've contacted American Honda but their attitude toward it is pretty casual. Uploading pics of the collision, the idea being that they show the damage done as I am moving forward even though I started out backing up. I don't thing you accept Mac movie formats. Thanks.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Door actuators have failed on both the passenger front and right rear. They lock almost immediately after unlocking. There is a high risk the passengers may not be able to exit in an emergency and rescue could be delayed. I have owned this car since bought new in September 2006. This problem began in 2020 during the pandemic so I have not gone to a dealer. I recently found information about recall 12V338000 in 2015 but I was never notified of that recall (since expired). I have since moved to a new address and the vehicle remains registered to me at my new address. Online research tells me this is a known problem and owners are charged $300-800 for repairs - often more than once!

While driving vehicle on 07/01/2021 the right rear trailing arm disconnected from the right rear frame rail due to corrosion. Transport Canada issued a recall (#2019-025) for 83,953 Honda CR-V's sold new in Canada for this problem. My Honda CR-V was manufactured at the same plant as those recalled in Canada. The reason for the recall in Canada was because these vehicles were driven on roads treated with deicing materials, much the same as vehicles driven in Illinois. This vehicle has not been inspected by American Honda. This is a clear safety issue due to the nature of the suspension becoming detached with no notice.
