ON COLD STARTUPS THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE GRINDING NOISE IS HEARD USUALLY AFTER THE CAR IS LEFT IDLE OVERNIGHT BUT HAPPENS TO A LESSER EXTENT WHILE THE CAR IS BEING USED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEIR MECHANIC IDENTIFIED IT AS THE VTC ACTUATOR. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS COMMON AND THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN AND WILL BE ISSUING A RECALL SOON. HONDA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM (BULLETIN:09-010). THEY SAID THAT IT CAN WAIT FOR THE RECALL TO BE ISSUED. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY WARRINTY MAY NOW EXPIRE AND A RECALL COULD NOT EVER BE ISSUED.

OUR 2015 HONDA CR-V HAD BEEN SHAKING WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR IDLE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ISSUE WASN'T FIXED. APPARENTLY, WE WERE THE FIRST CUSTOMER AT THIS DEALERSHIP TO EXPERIENCE THE SHAKING AND IT WAS PRIOR TO THE RECALL. THEY KEPT TELLING US THERE WASN'T AN ISSUE. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR, WHICH WAS STOPPED, BUT SHAKING, LUNGED FORWARD AND BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND I DO NOT TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGES AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STARTS TO MOVE. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS POSSESSED. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. WE HAD TO RUN THE ACCIDENT THROUGH OUR INSURANCE, WHICH RESULTED IN ALMOST $1000 DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR (MOSTLY DUE TO THE LICENSE PLATE IMPRINT ON HIS CAR. I THOUGHT BUMPERS WERE SUPPOSED TO JUST BUMP. DON'T KNOW WHY THERE IS A LICENSE PLATE FRAME IN THE WAY.) FORTUNATELY, WE WERE BOTH OKAY, BUT I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED SOON SO THAT NO ONE GETS INJURED. I HAD NIGHTMARES THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE LUNGED INTO SOMEONE WALKING THROUGH THE CROSSWALK OR FORCED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO HIT SOMEONE!

THE RED AIR-BAG INDICATOR BEGAN GLOWING STEADY RED ON MARCH 22, 2016. ON MARCH 28, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO CHECK ON THE PROBLEM. THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT INDICATES "INTERNAL FAILURE OF SRS UNIT". THIS PART APPARENTLY TELLS THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS SITTING IN EITHER / BOTH OF THE FRONT. THE DEALER'S TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE BAG 'MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT' AND IT IS 'NOT LIKELY' THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. APPARENTLY, HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS SENSOR AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM. I CAN HAVE A NEW UNIT INSTALLED FOR $574.95. I WAS ALSO REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, $112.30, SINCE THIS IS A PART THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT COVER. I FEEL THAT AS THIS SENSOR IS A PART THAT THE CONSUMER DOES NOT MAINTAIN AND IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM, AS IT CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR TO THE SAFETY SYSTEM AS WELL AS REIMBURSE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS MAY BE AFFECTED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THEREFORE, I WISH TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA, LEJEUNE HONDA CARS IN JACKSONVILLE, NC FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM.

THE CAR ENGINE WILL GRIND WHEN STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A COLD DAY. IT DOES THEN START BUT IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS ON THREE OCCASIONS IT FAILED TO START AT ALL. THE LAST TIME BEING APRIL 1, 2016. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE BATTERY IS FINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT IT STILL GRINDS AT START UP. THE BEST DESCRIPTION IS TWO PIECES OF METAL GRINDING TOGETHER. LOT OF HONDA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN PARTICULAR ON THE WEB SITE BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/13-DEAR-HONDA-FEEDBACK-FORUM/36273-2-4L-ENGINE-NOISE-COLD-START-UP-CRV-ACCORD.HTML

TAKATA RECALL NEITHER DEALER ZIMBRICK HONDA NOR AMERICAN HONDA HAVE PROVIDED AN ALTERNATIVE LOANER VEHICLE. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD WHO DRIVES THIS CAR. THEY SAY SHE CANNOT USE A LOANER BECAUSE THEIR INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER A 16 YEAR OLD. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. SHE IS THE ONE USER MOST LIKELY TO HAVE THE CRASH AND IS PRIME USER OF THIS VEHICLE.

HONDA ISSUED A "NOTICE" ABOUT THE LOCKS MALFUNCTIONING ON THE CRV BUT THIS IS MORE OF A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT DESERVES A RECALL. IF YOU MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR THE "NOTICE" THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE YOUR LOCKS REPAIRED. THEY ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MORE THAN ONE REASON. FOR ONE IT ALLOWS CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOOR DUE TO IT NOT BEING LOCKED AND THEY COULD FALL OUT. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR SOMEONE TO OPEN YOUR DOOR AND GET IN WITHOUT YOU HAVING CONTROL OVER IT. THE DOORS UNLOCK AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND WILL NOT STAY LOCKED WHEN YOU RELOCK THEM. THIS IS ONLY FIXED BY HAVING THE LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED WHICH MANY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD SINCE IT HAPPENS ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

THIS WAS AFTER NEW BRAKES HAD BEEN INSTALLED, NEW ROTORS, PAID TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM BLED TWICE (ABOUT $700). TO INSTALL A NEW ABS MODULE, THE COST IS $2,100 JUST FOR THE PART FROM HONDA. THE CAR IS NOW DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE PART. HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE CARS. IN ADDITION, I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE IS A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS CAR IN MARCH, NOW IT IS APRIL AND THOSE NEW PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE DEALER YET.
