WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL, EVEN A SMALL HILL, THE RPMS INCREASE TO 3000-3500. THE ENGINE WHINES AND THE VEHICLE FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS BEING HELD BACK. IF THE HILL IS A LONG HILL, THE RPMS GO DOWN AND THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. THIS REPEATS UNTIL THE END OF THE HILL. AT THE END OF THE HILL, THE FINAL LUNGE AND ACCELERATION IS DANGEROUS IF THERE IS A STOP SIGN AT THE END AS THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING. HONDA CLAIMS THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THAT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE AND DO NOT WANT TO BE A STATISTIC IN ORDER FOR HONDA CORPORATION TO FIX IT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THE ONLY THING IS THAT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT CORPORATE ARE WORKING ON IT. I SPENT 30,000 DOLLARS ON THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO RUN GOOD.

MY VEHICLE MAKES A TERRIBLE SOUND UNDER THE HOOD UPON STARTING WHEN IT IS COLD. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED IT IS THE VTC ACTUATOR VALVE (MOST LIKELY). TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, LET IT OVERNIGHT SO THEY WOULD HEAR IT AFTER SETTING. THEY CLAIM NO NOISE UPON STARTING IT. I AM CONCERNED AT SOME POINT ENGINE PARTS ARE BEING DAMAGED. THE NOISE BEGAN WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WENT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID "HONDA PROBABLY DOES KNOW ABOUT THIS BUT THERE IS NO REPAIR/RECALL ORDER ISSUED SO THEY WON'T REPAIR IT. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW.

PASSENGER WINDOW GOT STUCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND DELAYED IN ROLLING BACK UP. ONCE IT ROLLED UP I SET THE WINDOW LOCK BUTTON SO IT WOULDN'T ACCIDENTALLY HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE HAVING WET WEATHER. YESTERDAY, 1ST SUNNY DAY, HAD ROLLED DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS DOWN. PARKED AND ROLLED UP WINDOWS. WHEN GOT BACK INTO CAR 10 MINUTES LATER, NOTICED BAD SMELL AND YELLOW SMOKE COMING FROM MAIN WINDOW CONTROL PANEL ON DOOR BEFORE EVEN TURNING THE IGNITION ON. HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE WINDOWS TO STOP IT FROM SMOKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT. REPLACED PART ON MAY 21, 2011 AND PAID OUT OF POCKET. AGAIN HONDA IS ASKING ME TO PAY FOR INSPECTING AND REPLACING OF THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS! I RETURN TOMORROW NIGHT TO PICK UP MY CAR. *JS

THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING (GRINDING) NOISE DURING COLD STARTS. THE NOISE ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD <50 DEGREES F AND ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THE NOISE DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM AND THE ENGINE IS WARM. THE NOISE IS MOST LIKELY STEMMING FROM THE VTC ACTUATOR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE TIPS OF THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID DISPENSER FREEZES IN REALLY COLD TEMPERATURES AND DIDN'T UNFREEZE UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE GOT TO 44 DEGREES. SO WE DROVE OVER ONE HOUR IN THE SNOW WITH NO WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND COULDN'T SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH ALL THE DIRTY SNOW AND MUD SMEARING ON THE WINDSHIELD. WE PUT FRESH WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT THAT KEPT IT CLEAN FOR ABOUT ONE MILE ONLY. THIS WAS DRIVING ON HWY. 80 IN THE SIERRA'S. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

CAR IS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD AND HAD A DEAD BATTERY TWICE WHEN NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I SPENT $30,000 ON THIS CAR AND MY LOAN IS FOR 4 MORE YEARS. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING FROM HONDA, CAR IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. I'M SCARED TO TAKE IT FAR BECAUSE I WILL GET STRANDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

WHEN ON A CURVY ROAD THE CAR SOMETIMES MAKES LOUD NOISES THUMPING NOISES AND THE PANSANGER FLOOR VIBRATES VIOLENTLY LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL A PART. CAR IS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT HAS 45K MILES NOW BUT PROBLEM STARTED AT 30K MILES. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DENIED THAT THEIR WAS A PROBLEM.

MY 2005 CR-V AWD, FOUR DOOR LOCKS FAILED WITHIN TWO MONTHS, FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE, AND THEN THE TAIL DOOR LOCK, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER, AND WAS TOLD ALL THE ACTUATORS WERE NOT WORKING. I HAD TWO OF THEM REPLACED, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2007 MODELS, I THINK THEY SHOULD START AN INVESTIGATION ON 2005 MODELS ALSO,

GRINDING/RATTLING ENGINE NOISE ON FIRST START-UP ONLY. APPEARS TO BE THE VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM. HAPPENS ONLY IN COLD WEATHER. ALMOST BOUGHT A TOYOTA RAV4 INSTEAD. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TOYOTA?

AIR BAGS
ON 11/30/15 OUR 2013 HONDA CRV WAS TAKEN TO FOX HONDA IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI TO HAVE THE DRIVER AIR BAG AND POWER LOCK RECALL REPAIRS PERFORMED. ON 12/15/15 MY DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON IT'S BREAKS BUT THE TRAILER LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING SO THE CRV SQUARELY IMPACTED THE REAR OF THE TRAILER WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT. THE RADIATOR, ENGINE AND FRAME WERE DAMAGED SO THE CAR WAS TOTALED. WE FILED COMPLAINT #04347205 WITH HONDA EXPLAINING THAT THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER AND THE BODY SHOP WORKERS BOTH BELIEVED THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. AFTER MY 3RD CALL, THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVES WERE STILL TRYING TO TELL ME THAT THERE ARE SEPARATE SENSORS AND THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY ONE AIR BAG COULD GO OFF AND NOT THE OTHER. I EXPLAINED THAT WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT BADLY INJURED, I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE COULD BE A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THEIR AIR BAGS AND I WISHED THEY WOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO INSPECT THE CAR TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE ELSE ISN'T INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IF THERE IS A GENERAL DEFECT.

AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING COLD AND HOT; MANY REPORTS OF THIS ON WEBSITES REGARDING 2010 HONDA CRV. THE BLOWER IS WORKING FINE BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING GOES FROM COLD TO NEUTRAL OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. VEHICLE IS ON AND IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THERE IS NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND REGARDING THE SITUATION.

THE TAILGATE AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND CANNOT BE UNLOCKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2015 STAYED LOCKED FOR TWO DAYS. THE SECOND TIME WAS DECEMBER 19, 2015 AND STAYED LOCKED FOR FOUR HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS CANNOT DETERMINE PROBLEM AS BY THE TIME OF APPOINTMENT THE DOORS HAD UNLOCKED. THE AMERICAN HONDA CORP SAYS CAN ONLY BE FIXED IF ABLE TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHILE LOCKED. THE LOCKING OF DOORS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING AND GETTING READY TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THE ACTUATOR OF THE DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED, ONE COVERED BY HONDA, MOST RECENT I HAD TO PAY. HONDA CORP DOES NOT HAVE INFO OF POSSIBLE PROBLEM FIXED ON OTHER VEHICLES SO I COULD TELL DEALERSHIP.

TOOK VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ON THIS DATE. TOLD SERVICE TECH ABOUT VIBRATION, WINDOWS RATTLING WHEN HALF WAY DOWN, AND HOW MUCH AIR TO PUT IN TIRES. THE TIRES WERE TESTING FOR 37 POUNDS BUT DOOR SAID 32. TECH CAME BACK AND STATED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE VIBRATION ISSUE. HE STATED THAT THEY CHECKED THE WINDOWS ON OTHER VEHICLES AND ALL OF THEM WERE DOING THE SAME THING. HE ALSO STATED THAT IT HAD JUST CAME UP ON THE COMPUTER THAT HONDA COULD NOW FIX THE VIBRATION ISSUE AND HE WOULD CALL ABOUT WEDNESDAY (9TH) TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE THERE. HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM SINCE. CR-V STILL HAS VIBRATION ISSUE. TIRES LOOK LOW WITH 32 POUNDS OF AIR PRESSURE. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP, THE VIBRATION IS REALLY BAD.

MY 7 MONTHS PREGNANT WIFE GOT STRANDED 200 MILES FROM HOME WHEN HER ALTERNATOR DECIDED TO DIE ON HER RESULTING IN A DEAD BATTERY. WE ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND AN ALTERNATOR SHOULDN'T DIE ON A VEHICLE THIS YOUNG IN ITS LIFE SPAN. LUCKILY A GOOD SEMINARIAN DECIDED TO GIVE HER CAR A JUMP START WHICH GOT HER TO HER DESTINATION SAFELY. SO SINCE WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NEEDED TO HAVE THIS FIXED QUICKLY, WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRUSTED SHOP IN THE AREA AND THE ALTERNATOR HAD A FAULTY PART WHICH ENDED UP COSTING US OVER $600 DOLLARS TO GET FIXED. WE ALSO HAVE HAD A LOUD ENGINE RATTLE NOISE THAT OCCURS ON COLD STARTUPS FOR THE PAST YEAR AND HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2008 AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND HAS NOT COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX. I BELIEVE THE QUALITY OF HONDA CARS HAS BEEN DRASTICALLY DECLINING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE HONDA BRAND AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN.
