ENGINE
WITH COLD STARTS (STARTING THE ENGINE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING) THERE IS A GRINDING RUMBLE FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT LASTS A SECOND OR TWO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND THE SERVICE DEPT HAS SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. YESTERDAY, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT EXAMINED AND REPAIRED, AND THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMED 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 YEARS AND THAT THE HONDA CORPORATION WILL NOT ALLOW DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO REPLACE THEM. "THEY'RE ALL FAULTY, SO IT WOULDN'T MATTER." THIS DEFECT IN A CRITICAL ENGINE PART MUST BE ADDRESSED AND THE PART REPLACED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EXCESSIVE ENGINE VIBRATION. CABIN VIBRATION 35MPH TO 45MPH. HONDA S/B 15-46 MODE 3. (SOFTWARE CHANGE). THIS SB CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, ANOTHER PROBLEM AROSE: AT IDLE, THE ENGINE WOULD VACILLATE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 750 RPM AND 500 RPM. WHEN AT 500RPM, IT HAD EXTREME VIBRATIONS. RETURNED TO HONDA, AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR MOUNTS AS PER 112OA2 "REPAIRE PROCEDURE DRIVING MODE1: RADIATOR LOWER CUSHIONS, TR S/B 15-046.. (TRANSMISSION MOTOR MOUNT AND RADIATOR SUPPORTS + HEAD RESTS?) UPON LIFTING THE HOOD, THE ENGINE VIBRATES SO MUCH, I COULD SCRAMBLE EGGS ON IT. IN MY OPINION, ALL THEY DID WAS TO USE MORE FLEXIBLE MOUNTS TO0 TRY AND ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION TRANSFER TO THE FRAME. NOW, IT VIBRATES WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING LIKE @ 45 MPH, IT MOMENTARILY SHUDDERS/VIBRATES. SOONER OR LATER, THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FAIL.

ENGINE
GRINDING NOISE OCCURS ON 1ST START UP WHEN CAR IS COLD AND OCCASIONALLY DURING THE DAY. WE TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 11/5/2015 AND THEY SAY IT IS THE VTC ACTUATOR AND NO REPAIRS WILL BE DONE AT THIS TIME. WE TOOK IT TO PASADENA HONDA ON 1/25/16 AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HONDA WOULD EMAIL US WHEN THEY HAD A FIX. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID HONDA WAS WORKING ON A SECOND SOLUTION.THE NOISE CONTINUES TO WORSEN. THEY SAID IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE OR WOULDN'T HURT THE ENGINE(?)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED THE 2015 CR-V EX-L AWD ON JANUARY 5 2016 AT STATEN ISLAND HONDA. AFTER ONLY 11 DAYS AND 300 MILES ON VEHICLE AS WE WERE DRIVING FOR A SKI VACATION I NOTICED A CRACKLING NOISE WHEN I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. I THEN NOTICED THAT NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WORKED OR THE RADIO. IN ADDITION TO THIS MY HORN DIDNT WORK AND MY BLUETOOTH WOULD CONSTANTLY SAY (HTC IS OK ) BOTH MY RADIO INTERFACE SCREENS WOULD ALWAYS FLASH DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE MALFUNCTIONS. MY CELLPHONE WOULD ALSO RANDOMLY CONNECT AND MAKE CALLS. THEN AS I WAS DRIVING TO GET GAS OFF THE NJ TURNPIKE MY HORN STARTED TO GO OFF NON STOP AND I HAD TO PULL THE HORN FUSE OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I ALSO NOTICED A VERY STRONG VIBRATION WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLE AND STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE . OUR VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FROM JANUARY 19-21 AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE FUSES AND THE CABLE REEL AND SAID THE VIBRATION WAS NORMAL. I DID SOME FURTHER RESEARCH AND THERE IS A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA IN REGARDS TO THE 2015 CR-V VIBRATION ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I WAS SOLD A $30K LEMON . I HAVE OWNED HONDAS IN THE PAST WITH NO ISSUES BUT AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE AND HONDA BEING AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL SOLD THESE TRUCKS THE COMPANY HAS LOST MY TRUST. WHEN GOING THROUGH MY DOCUMENTS I NOTICED THAT I WAS MISSING ALOT OF PAPERWORK FROM MY SALES CONTRACT AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE. AT FIRST HE SAID HE GAVE US EVERYTHING AND THEN REALIZED HE DIDNT BUT DIDNT HAVE ACCESS TO THE FILE ROOM TO GIVE US THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. HE STATED HE WOULD GET BACK TO US AND NEVER DID. SO IN ALL I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO STATEN ISLAND HONDA DUE TO THEIR INCOMPETENT SALES STAFF AND I HOPE HONDA RESOLVES ALL OF THESE ISSUES.

ENGINE
ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING TIME TO TIME. IT LASTS A FEW MINUTES. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO A DEALER AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR (NEW). HONDA DEALERS CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT SHOWS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDA AND THAT THE CAUSE IS A FAULTY IGNITION KEY PART. IF IT IS TRUE, THEN HONDA MUST RECALL IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT MUST BE INVESTIGATED SINCE MANY HONDA CARS ARE REPORTED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HONDA SEEMS NOT TO KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES WHILE STOPPED WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE EXCELLORATES BETWEEN 3 AND 5 THOUSAND RPM'S. AT THIS POINT IT IS STUCK AND I PUT THE AUTO IN PARK AND TURN OFF. THIS MAY TAKE THREE OR FOUR TIMES TO GET IDLE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS SEEMS EXTREMLY DANGEROUS, ONCE WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN CROSSING IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK TO HONDA DEALSHIP FOR PROBLEM TWICE AND THEY SAID COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND SUGGESTED I RECORD ON MY PHONE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. IT'S ALL I CAN DO TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE LAST THING I WOULD DO IS GET MY PHONE OUT, ETC.I SURE HOPE YOU CAN ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET HONDA TO ADDRESS THIS! THE CAR HAS ONLY DONE IT IN TOWN, AS I DO NOT WANT TO GO ON HIGHWAY.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT ALLOW KEY TO BE INSERTED. BEEN THIS WAY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND IT STARTED WITH LOCKS DIFFICULT TO TURN. NOW NO LOCKS WORK AFTER FRANK ANCONA HONDA OF OLATHE KANSAS "REPAIRED" THEM A FEW YEARS BACK AND EVEN MADE NEW KEYS. THEY JUST TOLD ME TO FORCE THE KEYS IN AND TWIST HARD THEN TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T FIXED. I DID NOT PAY FOR THE UNSATISFACTORY WORK. I'VE REPLACED DOOR LOCKS ON SEVERAL OTHER MAKE VEHICLES AND HAVE CARS THAT ARE 35 YEARS OLDER AND THOSE DOOR LOCKS WORK PERFECTLY. ONLINE I'VE NOTICED NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF VERY DISGUSTED PEOPLE. THIS PROBLEM PREVENTS US FROM BEING ABLE TO LOCKS THE DOORS WHEN LEAVING THE CAR ANYWHERE. AS A ROAD POLICE OFFICER OF 30-31 YEARS NOW I KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF SECURITY OF BELONGINGS OR EVEN WHEN SITTING STATIONARY IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD. HONDA DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE CRV'S DOOR LOCKS. THEY PUT DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT INTO THE CRV. I JUST GAVE UP AND DON'T KEEP ANYTHING IN THE CRV WITH ANY HINT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ON IT OR PROPERTY I'M NOT PREPARED TO LOSE. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE CAR DUE TO THEFT. OR HAVE SOMEONE PULL THE HOOD RELEASE AND STEAL BATTERY, ENGINE PARTS,... HONDA IS WORTHLESS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VIBRATION WHILE AT IDLE OR 2200 RPM WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRY TO FIX AND IT WAS A NO FIX. BRAND NEW CAR RUNNING LIKE A WORN-OUT VEHICLE. HONDA SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, FIRMLY DISAGREE, EVENTUALLY CONSISTENT VIBRATIONS WILL CAUSE PARTS TO LOOSEN. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN BEFORE HONDA AND THE GOVERNMENT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? IT IS A DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AND A SAFETY CONCERN. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. BATTERY ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACE ALSO THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPEN. HEATER/ DEFROSTER MOTOR THING HAD TO BE REPLACE ALSO. THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN MARCH 2015

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN CAR IS ON IDLE WITH DRIVE GEAR , THE CAR GETS VIBRATE AND IT GETS WORSE WHEN AIR CONDITION IS TURN ON. AFTER THE REPAIR OF SERVICE BULLETIN 15-046, THE ISSUE IS VIBRATING AND IT GETS WORSE WHEN TURN AC ON. THE FIRST SERVICE WAS ON 1/7/16 WITH 136 MILAGES AND THE SECOND SERVICE WAS ON 1/19/16 WITH 678 MILAGES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK, THE VIBRATION AND SHAKING CAUSE MY BODY GET NAUSEATED AND HEADACHES.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER 12000 MILES NOTICED MINOR PULSATING WHEN BRAKING. PROBLEM GOT PERSISTENTLY WORSE WHERE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR GOING DOWN HILL AT 65 MPH. TOOK IN TO DEALER WHO PERFORMED AN INSPECTION. THEY REPORTED FRONT BRAKE ROTORWARPING DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ALL BRAKE PADS SHOWWEED MINIMAL WEAR. I STATED TO THE DEALER THAT I FELT THIS WAS NOT NORMAL. THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION THEY DECIDED TO COVER A PORTION OF THE COST BUT STATED NEXT TIME IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR SO EARLY ON.
