EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS KEEPS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4 TO 6 WEEKS SINCE CR-V PURCHASED NEW. HONDA SHOPS STATES NOTHING WRONG, THEY KNOW WATER IS IN "WELL" WHERE LIGHT BULB IS HOUSED WHEN I GO TO CHANGE IT. HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, ON BULBS AND FUSES. NOW PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT TOTALLY WILL NOT WORK DUE TO SHORT FROM WATER DAMAGE. I HAVE BOTH GO OUT AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, TALK ABOUT A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE KEPT SILENT FOR TOO LONG. BUBS USUALLY BLOW WITH RAIN, OR MOTION ( HEAVY). I NOTICE AFTER OIL CHANGES WITHIN A DAY OR TWO IT GOES, EVEN IF I HAVE JUST REPLACED IT PRIOR TO THE OIL CHANGE.

SOME MORNINGS WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THERE IS A GRINDING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT LASTS A SECOND OR TWO. IT BEGAN HAPPENING THIS WINTER AT AROUND MILEAGE19K. I CALLED THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER, HE KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM A DEFECTIVE VTC ACTUATOR. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT HONDA IS CONTINUING TO PRODUCE THE SAME DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR THEY HAVE PRODUCED FOR THE PAST 8/9 YEARS AND THAT THE HONDA CORPORATION WILL NOT ALLOW DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO REPLACE THEM. I AM CONCERNED AT SOME POINT ENGINE PARTS ARE BEING DAMAGED. I THINKING HONDA IS IGNORING THIS PROBLEM.

WHEELS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES IS AT THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY, MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME I HAD THE CAR ONLY TWO DAYS. THE DEALER "RECALIBRATED" THE SYSTEM. THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

AFTER PARKING MY CAR, WHILE UNLOCKING THE DOORS, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS NOT GETTING UNLOCKED. SO I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND AFTER THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NEVER GETTING LOCKED AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION AS ALREADY THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR IS BROKEN AND NOW THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NOT GETTING LOCKED AT ALL. NOW I AM FEELING VERY INSECURE BY USING THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX BOTH THESE PROBLEMS AT NO COST TO ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. IN COLD WEATHER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE SAME, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SAFETY RECALL LAST YEAR ON DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. DEALER TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED SO NOTHING WAS DONE. RECALL ENDED NOV 7 2015 AND NOW I AM HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH DOOR LOCKS. DOORS LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING WHETHER USING KEY FOB, DOOR LOCK ON DOOR, OR WHEN THE DOORS SELF UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK. THE DOOR UNLOCKS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO BUT IMMEDIATELY RELOCKS ALL DOORS. PASSENGER UNLOCKS THEIR DOOR AND IF THEY DON'T CATCH THE LATCH TO OPEN THE DOOR QUICKLY, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK. I CAN'T TAKE MY CAR TO THE CARWASH IN FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL LOCK MY KEYS INSIDE. KEYS IN IGNITION, ENGINE ON AND I GET OUT TO CLOSE MY GATE, THE DOORS RELOCK. IF I DIDN'T HEAR IT LOCK AND SHUT MY DOOR, MY CAR WOULD BE RUNNING IN PARK WITH DOORS LOCKED. THINK IF I HAD MY GRAND CHILDREN INSIDE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND I CAN'T GET INSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING REGULARLY AROUND JANUARY 2016 PAST THE RECALL. TO FIX THIS MYSELF WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT EVERY 3-6 MONTHS, THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL. I KEEP READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME THING BUT HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. BESIDES BEING COSTLY, TIME-CONSUMING AND ANNOYING, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS ILLEGAL, YOU CAN GET A TICKET FOR DRIVING WITH A BURNT LIGHT. IN ADDITION THE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD HAS GONE OUT, AND THE 2 REAR DOORS ELECTRICAL LOCKS DO NOT WORK.

STEERING
THIS IS TO DESCRIBE A SAFETY ISSUE WE DISCOVERED WITH THE 2002 HONDA. WE EXPERIENCED AN INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND FORCED THE CAR TO DRIVE INTO A GUARD RAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND MY WIFE IS NOW LEFT WITH SHOULDER AND BACK PROBLEMS. IT HAPPENED ONLY DAYS AFTER A LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAD SERVICED THE VEHICLE TO RESOLVE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN AN OFF-RAMP AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING LOCKED UP IN A HARD RIGHT TURN WHICH FORCED THE VEHICLE INTO A CONCRETE GUARD RAIL. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED AND WE WERE WITHOUT SUFFICIENT INSURANCE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR WAS ON A FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH DRIVING IN ECONOMY MODE. I WAS ON MY BLUETOOTH AND I HAD NOT CHANGED LANES. SOMETIME DURING THIS 2 MINUTE PHONE CALL I HAD ACCELERATED AS I HAD TRAFFIC ENTERING FROM MY RIGHT AND FELT THE CAR SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I ENDED MY PHONE CALL ABRUPTLY AS MY CAR WAS ACTING UP AND NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. IT MAY HAVE BEEN HESITATING. I REALIZED MY CAR JUST KEPT ACCELERATING AND OUT OF MY CONTROL. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW THE ENGINE MOTOR. I WOULD ALTERNATE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR AND BACK TO BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. THERE WAS NO GIVE ON THE ACCELERATOR--LIKE IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 OF THESE ATTEMPTS TO GAIN CONTROL, I HAD CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND EXITED AT THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AND I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I REACHED DOWN TO MAKE SURE MY FLOOR MAT WAS IN PLACE AND IT WAS. I THEN DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND LEFT IT THERE. SINCE IT IS THE WEEKEND THEY WON'T BE LOOKING AT IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

ENGINE
I FIRST NOTICED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN DEC 2014 WHEN DRIVING ACROSS WEST TEXAS (SPEED LIMITS ARE 80 MPH). MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN I ARRIVED IN TUCSON. I WENT TO A DEALER WHO SAID I HAD RUN OUT OF OIL BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. I THEN WENT TO WHERE I PURCHESD THE CAR BUT NO REASON FOR EXCESSIVE OIL FOUND. I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC- AGAIN NO REASON. IN AUGUST 2015 HONDA SENT A LETTER EXPLAINING THAT 2010 AND 2011 CR-VS HAD A PROBLEM WITH STICKY PISTON RINGS THAT COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WENT THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ALTHOUGH I DOCUMENTED 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL BURNED IN 1700 MILES OF HIGHWAY, THE AVERAGE WAS LESS THAN HONDA DEFINED AS EXCESSIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS LEVEL OF CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE, ESPECIALLY ON LONGER HIGHWAY DRIVES AND I AM WORRYING ABOUT DAMAGING THE ENGINE. HONDA SHOULD DO THE WARRANTY WORK. MY LOCAL DEALER SUGGESTED I CONTINUE TO DO MY OWN OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. THE WARRANTY IS VALID UNTIL NOV 2017 AND FOR ANOTHER 35,000 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVERS DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR- MY DOORS WOULD NOT AUTO LOCK ANY LONGER WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE. THE AUTO SYSTEM CONTINUED TO TRY AUTO LOCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING CLICKING BACK ON AND OFF TRYING TO GET THE DOORS TO LOCK WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. ALSO MY DOORS WOULD NO LONGER LOCK WITH THE KEY REMOTE. MY VIN NUMBER FELL OUTSIDE THE RANGE FOR 2009 CR-V'S WITH THE SAME REPORTED PROBLEM COVERED IN THE SVC BULLENTINE #14-083 FOR REPLACING THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I BELIEVE OTHER VEHICLES ARE EFFECTED LIKE MINE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT ACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY.

AFTER I HAD MY HONDA REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL FOR SOMETHING DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH ITS SUSPENSION, MY TIRES CAN NOT BE BALANCED AND THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT GO OUT. THE AC JUST STOPPED WORKING PRIOR TO THE SUMMER OF 2015,. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING ABOUT THE SAME TIME AND NOW THE STARTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WAS GETTING ITS TIRES REPLACED WHEN THE TIRES WOULD NOT BALANCE AND THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK AFTER I LEFT AN APPOINTMENT IN THE PARKING LOT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR WAS MOVIG OR STATIONARY WHEN THE DOOR STOPPED WORKING.
