ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CR-V 2010 EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. MY HUSBAND DRIVES THE CAR TO WORK EVERY DAY FOR AN HOUR. WE START HEARING A CRANKING NOISE COMING FORM THE ENGINE IN THE COLD MORNINGS. WE FOLLOW RECOMMENDATIONS ON OIL CHANGES AND USE SYNTHETIC OIL. I CHECK THE OIL REGULARLY AND ADD SOME WHEN IT NEEDS IT. I WAS AMAZE AT HOW MUCH OIL IT BURN. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE OIL USE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON TWO (2) DEALERSHIPS RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE TIMING BELT TIMING CHAIN TENSION AND CAM SHAFT. 62,000 MILES CAR WAS DRIVING VERY BAD SO I DID THE REPAIRS $ 1,212.40 . THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT'S "NORMAL". I HAVE A MINI VAN TOYOTA WITH 273,000 MILES NEVER CHANCE THE TIMING BELT/CHAIN STILL RUNNING. HONDA OF AMERICA SAYING THAT BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL. THAT IS UNETHICAL. I HAVE DONE THE 1,000 MILE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT MY CRV CAN BURN UP TO A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES AND IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN HELP ME. NOW THE CAR START SMELLING OIL AND GAS WHEN I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. THEY SEND A LETTER BUT HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO DO THE REPAIRS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR MOTOR THAT CONTROLS DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING MAKES NOISES AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT LOCK THE DOORS. ALSO, WHEN I AM DRIVING DRIVERS SIDE DOORS IN FRONT AND BACK LOCK AND UNLOCK THEM SELVES. ? 2 YEARS AGO I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE PASSAGER SIDE MOTOR FOR THE DOOR LOCKS REPAIRED, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE IS GOING OUT. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX THIS AT NO COST TO ME. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS?

AIR BAGS
THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE TAKATA RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN JANUARY 2016. SINCE THE CAR ROLLED OVER WHEN SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY TAKING A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY, MAYBE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED BUT NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS WORKED EITHER (SEE PICTURES).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. AFTER THE LAST AIRBAG WAS REPLACED ON 2/12/2016, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE SRS OPDS UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE ($475). HE SAID THAT THIS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK PROPERLY. MY CONTENTION IS THAT IF THIS UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK, THEN THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER, EXACTLY LIKE THE AIRBAGS HAVE. I CALLED HONDA IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEREFORE MY RESPONSIBILITY. I DISAGREE. PLEASE REVIEW MY CASE AND LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU.

ENGINE, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CRV 2015 DECEMBER OF 2015. THE SAME WEEK WE TOOK THE CAR HOME, WE NOTICED A VERY STRONG VIBRATION AT IDLE WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. THE VIBRATION IS SO STRONG THAT IT FEELS AS IF ONE IS SITTING IN A 'MASSAGING CHAIR'. WE (MY WIFE AND I) HAVE GOTTEN DIZZY AND NAUSEATED FROM THE VIBRATION. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA IMMEDIATELY. SINCE THEN, THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE CAR 5 TIMES AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I THEN REQUESTED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND THEY DENIED IT. THEY EVEN SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPAIR MY CAR ANYMORE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS SATURDAY FEBRUARY, 13 2016. IN THE REPAIR ORDER, THE DEALERSHIP CLEARLY STATES THAT THE VIBRATION WAS PRESENT AFTER THE REPAIR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS (LESS THAN 60K MILES). THOUGHT IT WAS POOR QUALITY BULBS BUT THIS TIME BOTH NEW BULBS (1- MONTH OLD) WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER LUCKILY HIGH BEAMS WORKED. READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A BULB ISSUE BUT RATHER A NECESSITY FOR A WIRING SWITCH/HARNESS RECALL. PREVIOUS YEARS HAD THE RECALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE RECALL NEEDS TO EXPAND IN MODEL YEARS

MY 2005 HONDA CR-V PULLS STRONGLY TO THE RIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I VISITED THE DEALER, AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT DESCRIBED IN HONDA TSB 05-022. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WEATHER TURNED FRIGID AFTER A UNUSUAL WARM SPELL. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WE STARTED TO GET SOME PRECIPITATION ON THE WIND SHIELD THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DEFROSTER WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD SAFELY CLEAR. HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES TO MANUALLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. ALSO THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM NEW. THEY TOLD US THE DRIVER SIDE HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED. I WAS ASTONISHED AS TO THE LOW MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE (15,659), AND IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 WEEKS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE RAPID RATE AT WHICH IT OCCURS. IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING EVERY 12-15K MILES. APPARENTLY AFTER SEARCHING ON LINE I FOUND THIS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN 2012-2013 MODELS. HONDA ALSO HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW. (BULLETIN #14-063). I KNOW HEATER CORES CAN PLUG UP WITHOUT THE PROPER MAINTENANCE AND CONSIDERABLE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FEW MILES DRIVEN BEFORE THIS CAN OCCUR.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 HONDA CR-V LAST NIGHT AND WAS SLOWING TO TAKE AN EXIT OFF OF A FREEWAY. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE FAILING AS I WAS HAVING TO STEP ON THEM REALLY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. AS I APPROACHED THE STOPLIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT RAMP, I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS NOT GOING TO STOP. I PUT THE CR-V IN NEUTRAL AND HEARD THE ENGINE REV REALLY HARD AND SAW THE TACHOMETER READING JUMP OVER TO 5000 RPM. WITHIN SECONDS, THE ENGINE SLOWED BACK DOWN TO IDLE SPEED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE LAST MILE TO MY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT.

STEERING
UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'S STEERING, EPS: 1. THE CAR PULLS LEFT UNDER ACCELERATION AND AT SPEED. 2. THE CAR DOES NOT MAINTAIN CENTER/NEUTRAL POSITION OR TRACK STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT EXCESSIVE INTERVENTION. 3. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY NEEDS UNEXPECTED INTERVENTION THROUGH TURNS AS THE STEERING IS NOT DIRECT OR DOES NOT REFLECT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. 4. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY REQUIRES MORE INPUT/FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO ONE SIDE VS. ANOTHER. THIS AND THERE IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VIBRATION AT IDLE EVEN THOUGH TSB 15-046 WAS APPLIED BUT DID NOT FIX VEHICLE VIBRATION.
