TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA CR-V IN FLORIDA IN JANUARY FOR MY DAUGHTER, JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING RELEASED. SHE HAD TO RETURN TO SCHOOL IN TEXAS WITHOUT THE CAR SINCE IT WAS UNSAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR FOR HER IN TEXAS BECAUSE THE HONDA IS IN FLORIDA. I HAVE NO MEANS TO GET THE HONDA TO A TEXAS DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. SO WE ARE STUCK WITH AN UNDRIVEABLE CAR, AND MY DAUGHTER HAS NO TRANSPORTATION. WE WERE TOLD THE AIRBAG COULD NOT BE REPLACED UNTIL "SUMMER". IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE?

THE DRIVERS MIC AUDIO IS SO POOR THE CALLER TO THE CAR CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE MOVING 40MPH+ TO HEAR THE AUDIO BREAKING UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH THE BLUETOOTH A MAJOR FACTOR.

"TAKATA RECALL AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERS REQUEST I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY AIRBAG REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. UPON REPAIR MY CAR WAS RETURNED WITH THE "SRS" LIGHT CONTINUALLY ON. I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THE SRS SYSTEM FAILED THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE THE REPAIR AND HONDA CALLED THE INCIDENT COINCIDENTAL. THE REPAIR RESULTED IN HAVING NO AIRBAG SYSTEM AT ALL. I REALIZE THE CAR IS A 2003, AND I'M NOT AS UPSET AS I AM DISAPPOINTED (JUST TO BE CLEAR), BUT THIS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT TO ME AND FOUND YOUR WEBSITE IN AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE AND AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A VALID COMPLAINT REPORT-ABLE TO YOU

SEATS
UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE 30 - 40 MILES I GET LEG CRAMPS AND MY TOES GET NUMB. I ENCOUNTERED THIS WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER. I DID NOT ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM ON THE TEST DRIVE AS IT WAS RELATIVELY SHORT. I TRIED SEVERAL SEAT POSITIONS TO RE-LEAVE THE PAIN TO NO AVAIL(NOTE THIS IS A LEATHER POWER SEAT WITH SEVERAL ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS). I RESEARCHED THE WEB FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT TO BE PERVASIVE. I HATE THE VEHICLE AND WANT TO RETURN IT. IT IS CAUSING SEVER LEG AND BACK PROBLEMS. HONDA SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM. NOTE I TALKED WITH MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR HONDA AND HE AGREED THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT / DESIGN PROBLEM THAT IS NOT ON OTHER SIMILAR SUV VEHICLES (I.E. THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED SLOPING DOWNWARD TO RELIEVE BLOOD CIRCULATION PROBLEMS IN THE LEGS ABOVE THE KNEES).

I WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND WANTED TO TURN OFF THE HEAT. PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND HEAT WAS STILL ON. NOT THINKING AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON AGAIN TO TURN HEAT OFF (THINKING I DIDN'T HIT THE BUTTON CORRECTLY) AND THE MOTOR STOPPED WHILE I WAS THANKFULLY JUST ON A SIDE STREET. HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND WAIT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START AGAIN. A CAR IN BACK OF ME HAD TO STOP BECAUSE OF MY PROBLEM. A REAL SAFETY ISSUE.

LOW BEAMS WENT OUT, THEN THE BATTERY BURNED UP. REPLACED BULBS AND BATTERY BOTH WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK THEN HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT BOTH LOW BEAMS AND HIGH. MARKER LIGHTS ARE FLASHING LIKE STROBE LIGHTS. THE BRAKES ARE GRABBING WHEN YOU APPLY THEM. ONE SIDE OF THE REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT FASTER THAN THE OTHER SIDE. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON UNTIL YOU TURN ON THE FAN OR LIGHTS THEN THEY FLASH ON AND OFF.

I BOUGHT MY CRV IN OCT 2013. FOR THE SECOND WINTER THE CONTINUES TO BE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE ON FIRST START OF THE DAY. IT MUST BE IN THE 20S OR LOWER FOR THE NOISE. THIS WINTER I HAD THE DEALER VERIFY THE PROBLEM. SAID IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR AND HONDA IS WORKING ON IT. DEALER AGREES IT IS A DEFEAT, BUT HONDA HAS NO FIX IN PLACE. APPARENTLY REPLACING THE VTC ACTUATOR WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW. STILL NO WORD. I THINKING HONDA IS JUST MOVING ON AND IGNORING THIS PROBLEM.

MY ELDERLY MOTHER DIED IN A FIRE IN HER 2014 HONDA CR-V. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES TO THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS FIRST SEEN WHEN FULLY ENGULFED BY FLAME, 10 TO 20 MINUTES AFTER MY MOTHER WAS SEEN GETTING INTO HER CAR. UNKNOWN IF SHE LET IT IDLE BEFORE DRIVING. SHE DROVE ABOUT 1200 FEET. HER CAR WAS FOUND IN WET IVY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HER KEY WAS IN HER HAND, AND SHE WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, APPARENTLY TRYING TO ESCAPE THE FIRE. (BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON A HILL, LEANING TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE, FLAMES FROM BENEATH THE CAR WERE STRONGEST ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND WOULD HAVE BLOCKED HER EXIT. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT COMPLETELY BURNED.) IT IS IMPROBABLE THAT THE IVY IGNITED BECAUSE IT WAS LATE FALL IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THE WEATHER HAD BEEN VERY WET FOR DAYS. I BELIEVE THAT A FIRE IGNITED SOMEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE AND THIS FIRE CAUSED MY MOTHER TO GO OFF THE ROAD. AN AUTOPSY SHOWED SHE DIED OF SMOKE INHALATION AND BURNS. THE CAR WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH RECENT SERVICING. NO SIGNS OF RECENT OIL LEAKAGE IN GARAGE. WE HAVE LOCATED OTHER 2012-2014 CR-V FIRES THAT BEGAN SPONTANEOUSLY. SOME BLAMED ON LEAVES TRAPPED IN VEHICLE, ANOTHER ON FLUID LEAKS, INCLUDING TWO ON SAFERCAR.GOV. (NHTSA NOS. 10654938 AND 10546273). I RETAIN THE VEHICLE. ## VIN PASSED ## HONDA CRV 2014 ##
