ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HONDA CRV 2007 EX 2.4 LITER, 4 CYLINDER. THE CAR DOES NOT START OCCASIONALLY. THE BATTERY IS FINE. STARTER IS OKAY. CHECKED ONLINE FORUM TO FIND THE ISSUE AND FIX. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE LOGGED SAME ISSUE ONLINE. DEALERS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. HONDA OF AMERICA SAY THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT CLEARLY THERE IS SOME ISSUE IN THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZATION OR OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE RELATED TO IGNITION. SOME ONE NEED TO DIG IN TO THE ISSUE AND HAVE IT FIXED BY HONDA REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. TODAY (FRIDAY, MARCH 05, 2010) AGAIN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE SINCE THE LIGHTS AND RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE WORKING. SEEMS LIKE THE SOME THING WITH THE IGNITION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE TO TOW AWAY THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS NOT STARTING AT ALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. SHE STATED THAT WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL ONTO THE RAMP THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN. SHE THEN PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND WHEN IT PASSED THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE AND IS AT THE DEALERSHIP.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY HONDA CRV 2007 VEHICLE DID A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF HALF THE VEHICLE LENGTH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, THEY WOULD BE DEAD. IN LIGHT OF ALL THE TOYOTA PRESS, I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. I DID HAVE A FLOOR MAT IN PLACE, WAS IT CAUGHT IN THE GAS PEDAL? HAVE THEIR BEEN ANY REPORT OF TROUBLE WITH THE HONDA CRV? THIS OCCURRED ONCE ONLY AND I DID REMOVE FLOOR MATS. THIS OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2009. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AS IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND STILL CONCERNS ME.. *TR

SUSPENSION
2007 HONDA CRV PRODUCED IN JAPAN HAS DEFECTIVE SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLIES WHICH ALLOW THE CAR TO BOUNCE UNDAMPED ON ROUGH ROAD SURFACES AND CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL. THE US MANUFACTURED UNITS DO NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. ADDITIONALLY HONDA LISTS DIFFERENT REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE US AND JAPANESE BUILT 2007 MODELS SO THE PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. *TR

TIRES
I AM A LOYAL HONDA OWNER ON MY THIRD HONDA, A 2007 CRV. THE CRV CAME WITH OEM TIRES, BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TO BE SPECIFIC. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOLD THE DEALER I DID NOT WANT SUCH POORLY RATED TIRES BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OPTION TO UPGRADE TO BETTER TIRES. I PUT UP WITH THESE BAD TIRES FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL MY LUCK RAN OUT THIS YEAR WHEN MY AREA RECEIVED SEVERAL SNOW STORMS. MY FIRST NEAR-MISS HAPPENED IN DECEMBER OF 2009 I GOT STUCK ON A VERY MINOR PATCH OF SNOW AND MY CAR NARROWLY AVOIDED SLIDING BACKWARDS INTO A CREEK JUST BEHIND ME THAT WAS ABOUT 10' DEEP. I SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES RIGHT THEN BUT FAILED TO MAKE THE CONNECTION TO THE BAD TIRES AND BLAMED IT ON THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THE SECOND NEAR-MISS CAME THIS WEEK WHEN WE GOT A MAJOR SNOWSTORM AND MY BROTHER'S HOUSE LOST POWER AND HEAT. THE DAY AFTER THE STORM I TRIED TO DRIVE TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE AND RESCUE HIM AND HIS FAMILY. I GOT JUST OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE SNOW COVERED STREET AND RIGHT AWAY GOT STUCK. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY BY THROWING DIRT UNDER ALL THE TIRES TO GET TRACTION. I PULLED BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND WAS AFRAID TO TRY AGAIN FOR 2 DAYS UNTIL THE SNOW SOFTENED UP A BIT. KEEP IN MIND THAT MY CRV IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND THE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE NOT WORN OUT. IN BOTH CASES THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WAS USELESS AND IN BOTH CASES LIVES WERE AT RISK. I PAID EXTRA TO GET THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VERSION FOR JUST SUCH OCCASIONS AND I FEEL LET DOWN, TO SAY THE LEAST. TODAY BEING THE FIRST TIME I COULD GET TO A MAIN ROAD (BARELY) I HEADED TO THE NEAREST TIRE SHOP TO REPLACE THE HORRIBLE BRIDGESTONE H/T'S WITH BRIDGESTONE ALENZA'S, THEIR HIGHEST RATED TIRE FOR MY VEHICLE. I AM NOW ABLE TO DRIVE IN THE SAME SNOW WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL. WHY IS HONDA ALLOWED TO PUT SUCH POOR TIRES ON THEIR CARS, AND WHY IS BRIDGESTONE ALLOWED TO SELL SUCH POOR TIRES? *TR

WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BACK PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL HAD A "HOT" SMELL COMING FROM IT. HONDA SERVICE DETERMINED I HAD A BRAKE PAD THAT HAD GOTTEN STUCK. BRAKE PAD WAS REPLACED, AS WELL AS FIXING THE ROTOR. THE SMELL CONTINUED. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY CANNOT FIND ONE THING "RUBBING" THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS "HOT" SMELL. THEY ARE STUMPED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL, WONDERING IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO WEAR OUT OR CATCH ON FIRE. MANY INTERNET BLOGS HAVE SHOWN MANY, MANY HONDA OWNERS TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. NO OTHER TIRES/WHEEL WELLS SMELL HOT - SOME OWNERS BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEXT TO THE TIRE. *TR

TIRES
BOTH THE LEFT SIDE OEM TIRES ON MY HONDA CRV 2007 MODEL BLEW UP ON ME WHILE CHANGING LANES. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND HAVE BEEN ROTATING THEM AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA (ALL THE SERVICING ON THE VEHICLE WERE DONE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGH THE CAR). LUCKILY, I WAS ON A LOCAL ROAD AT 40 MPH SO I COULD KEEP MY CAR UNDER CONTROL. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER 2007 CRV CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ABNORMAL WEAR ON THEIR OEM (IN MY CASE CONTINENTAL) TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER WHO RECOMMENDED THAT I SHOULD CHANGE ALL FOUR TIRES- WHICH COST ME CLOSE TO $1000. MY CAR ONLY HAD 29000 MILES ON IT. HONDA APPARENTLY BLAMES THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WANTS ITS CUSTOMERS TO COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO THE TIRE MAKER. THIS IS ABSURD SINCE THEE ARE MANY COMPONENTS IN THE CAR THAT HONDA DID NOT MAKE ON ITS OWN. DOES IT EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO LOCATE THE MAKER OF EACH COMPONENT TO COMPLAIN WHEN THINGS GO WRONG? THIS IS HONDA'S PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD COMPENSATE ITS EXISTING CUSTOMERS AND TAKE CORRECTIVE STEPS FOR THE NEW CARS. THERE IS THE DANGER OF PEOPLE LOSING CONTROL OF THEIR CARS IF SUCH AN INCIDENT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY.*TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENTER/ EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP TO HAVE THE LOCKS REPAIRED.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER, EQUIPMENT, STRUCTURE
IN 2007, WE PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV TO TOW, FOUR WHEELS DOWN. WE PURCHASED THE BLUE OX AVENTA LX, BX7445 TOW BAR CLASS IV (10,000 LB FOR A 2 INCH RECEIVER) AND THE BASE PLATE BX2246 MADE FOR THE 2007 HONDA CR-V\, WE FOUND THAT THE FRONT FASCIA OF THE HONDA HAD PULLED AWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THE BLUE OX BASE PLATE HAD FAILED. I MEAN, TOTALLY FAILED, THE METAL (NOT THE BOLTS) HAD RIPPED, THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES, WHERE THE BASE PLATE IS ATTACHED (BOLTED) TO THE FRAME. THE BASE PLATE, WAS NOW ONLY BEING HELD (AND ALSO OUR VEHICLE) ONLY BY THE SAFETY CABLES. *TR

STEERING
MY 2007 HONDA CRV FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW MODEL HAS HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR TO RIGHT OR LEFT THE CAR MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATES, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALMOST LIKE THE STEERING WILL GIVE OUT IF YOU TURN TOO FAR. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON AND OFF FOR SOME 10000 MILES. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRAVELING AND DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL TIRES COOL DOWN. THE DEALER HAS TRIED MANY TIMES TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT UNABLE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THEY HAVE FAILED TO REPLACE ANY OF THE SENSORS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT ALSO CONTROLS OTHER SYSTEMS. *TR

STEERING
MY 2007 HONDA CRV HAS HAD A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. SO BAD THAT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT CAUSES THE CAR TO CROSS TO THE RIGHT LANE IN LESS THAN 4 SECONDS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY CLAIM IT IS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM (3 ALIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE CAR AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS) OR SIMPLY SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE IT OR DON'T SEE A PROBLEM. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARDS THE LEFT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM CROSSING TO THE RIGHT LANE. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM DESPITE MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CRV AND WAS ALMOST RUN OVER BY IT TODAY. IT APPEARS THERE MIGHT BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I HAD PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I LEFT IT ON SO THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WHILE I WAS UNLOADING THE CAR AND PUTTING THINGS IN THE GARAGE (THIS PROCESS TOOK APPROX. 5 MINUTES). I THEN WENT TO THE BACK SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND GOT MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. I THEN SHUT THE BACK DOOR AND OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GRAB THE CAR KEYS WHICH WERE IN THE IGNITION. I TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK WARDS DRAGGING ME WITH IT...AS I WAS STUCK BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I WAS HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND AND SCRAMBLING TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS IN PARK...IT WAS AND THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER IT JUMPED UP ON THE CURB, BACKED INTO SEVERAL TREES AND HIT A STREET SIGN. MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK? I WAS HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND AS THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS AND I DOUBLED CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN PARK AS I WAS GETTING DRAGGED WITH THE CAR. ALTHOUGH MY LEG IS NOW BADLY BRUISED AND MY BUMPER IS MESSED UP; ALL IN ALL I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY LUCKY. HAD MY DAUGHTER STARTED WALKING BEHIND THE CAR VS. WALKING TOWARDS THE GARAGE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I'M NOW TERRIFIED OF MY CAR.. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT HONDA CORPORATE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND RESULT IN A FAR WORSE OUTCOME. *TR

SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT, SUSPENSION:REAR
DEFECTIVE FRONT AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS LEAD TO EXCESSIVE PITCHING OF VEHICLE EVEN ON MINOR UNEVEN ASPHALT. OWNERS WITH THIS DEFECT ARE SWERVING THEIR VEHICLES TO AVOID ROUGH PAVEMENT INCREASING RISK OF COLLISIONS. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE BATCH OF SHOCK ABSORBERS INCLUDED ON SOME JAPANESE BUILT 2007 CRVS. US BUILT UNITS SEEM TO HAVE AVOIDED THIS ISSUE. *TR
