ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THIS CAR AT LEAST 9 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 2010. TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE BULBS JUST BURNT OUT AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY IN THE DARK. WE HAVE PURCHASES OEM, AFTERMARKET, LONG LIFE ETC WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE CAR WAS MOVING THIS TIME WHEN THE LIGHTS BURNED OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS MOSTLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 100 MILES A DAY, WHICH IS WHERE MY WIFE WAS TODAY, AT APROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE 2002-2004 CR-V HAD A RECALL AND THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THERE IS ZERO RESOLUTION. EVERY DEALERSHIP I CALL SAY THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING THE INFORMATION OUT ON THE WEB. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

THE CAR IS VIBRATING LIKE CRAZY. WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND I CALLED THE SALES PERSON AFTER PURCHASING AND HE TOLD ME THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VIBRATION BUT NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT IS NORMAL. THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE AND AM GETTING SICK OF DRIVING A $30,000 CAR WITH VIBRATION.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN MAY THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MARCH SO OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT PULL THE 137 CARS AFFECTED. AFTER 6000 MILES WITH NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO SAFETY WARNING SIGN OTHER THEN A RAPPING SOUND THAT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER UNTIL THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. THIS STARTED WELL DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 28.WHEN I WAS CONTACTED BY THE REPAIR CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT 3/4 OF THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACED. WHEN I EXPRESSED CONCERN WITH THE RESULTS OF ALL OF THE ENGINE FLUIDS BEING SHARED THROUGH OUT THE ENGINE AND FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ONLY FIXING 3/4 OF THE ENGINE. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA. THEY DIDN'T CARE THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED. THAT THE CAR WAS NOT PULLED AND FIXED WHEN THEY ISSUED THE RECALL. AMERICAN HONDA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. WHEN I ASKED CHRIS THE CUSTOMER REP THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO MY COMPLAINT TO BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUPERVISOR TO FILL A OFFICIAL COMPLAINT I WAS TOLD "THERE IS NO ONE HIGHER THEN HIM" HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY CONCERNS FOR SAFETY OR ABOUT THE INVESTMENT I MADE IN PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE. SO ONCE YOU BUY IT YOUR ON YOUR OWN THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SAFETY OR CONCERNS.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS AND THEN MY FOOT WHEN BACK ON THE GAS, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN BACK ON TO RECOVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND HAVE COME CLOSE TO TWO ACCIDENTS FROM ONCOMING CARS. THE ANSWER I GET FROM MY DEALER IS THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND SUGGESTED TURNING THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. I DID THIS BUT STILL HAVE EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MUST BE CORRECTED IN A RECALL. I ALSO, LIKE A NUMBER OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS, EXPERIENCE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON. DEALER SAYS NO FIX FOR THIS.

MY MECHANIC FROM FOUR STARS AUTO CARE, LONG ISLAND, N.Y. HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CR-V 2013 TIMING CAMSHAFT WHICH IS CAUSING THE GRINDING SOUND WHEN I START THE CAR (THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE OIL HAS DRAINED FROM THE CAMSHAFT AND IS NOT LUBRICATED ' WHICH CAUSED THE GRINDING SOUND). USUALLY, THIS HAPPENS IF THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN STARTED FOR MORE THAN 3 OR 4 HOURS. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE VTC ACTUATOR IN THE CAR THAT IS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. I JUST SPOKE TO A LADY 'NICOLE' FROM HONDA CITY, 3859 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756 WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE VTC ACTUATOR IN THE 2013 CR-VS BUT DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER WHEN HONDA WILL HAVE THE VTC REPLACEMENT. SHE SAID, 'HONDA IS WORKING ON A NEW VTC, BUT DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM AVAILABLE.' SHE ALSO SAID THAT, THEY STOPPED REPLACING THE CURRENT VTC MODEL AND THERE IS A DEFECT.' ALL I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY WILL STILL REPLACE THIS WHEN MY CAR GOES OUT OF WARRANTY IN A FEW THOUSAND MILES? I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A LONG TERM EFFECT OF THE GRINDING NOISE TO THE CAMSHAFT OR THE ENGINE AND ALSO THE PASSERBY'S WHO LOOKED AT MY CR-V AFTER I START MY CAR. I AM GOING TO CONTACT HONDA DIRECTLY' I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWERS AND THE SERVICE. I WILL DEFINITELY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA IF THERE IS SATISFACTION TO THIS SOLUTION.

STARTING CAR SOUND IS A GRINDING SOUND. TENDS TO HAPPEN IN THE MORNING WHEN I FIRST START IT UP FOR THE DAY. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE CAM ACTUATOR GEAR ASSEMBLY. WHAT ELSE IS GETTING RUINED ON MY CAR WHEN NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN PLACE BY HONDA?

IF THE CAR BATTERY IS DEAD, THE REAR LIFT GATE CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE NOR THE INSIDE WITHOUT TOOLS (I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN UNLABELED COVER INSIDE THE LIFT GATE THAT HIDES THE INSIDE EMERGENCY MANUAL RELEASE; BUT IT CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT A TOOL) . THIS MEANS THAT THE SPARE TIRE AND TIRE CHANGING TOOLS ARE GOING TO BE UNREACHABLE. MOREOVER, IF THE SIDE DOORS ARE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY SO THAT THE REAR LIFT GATE IS THE ONLY REASONABLE WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, IT CANNOT BE USED. I CONTACTED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER (800.999.1009) AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN ANSWER INASMUCH AS THE OWNER'S MANUAL WAS THEIR ONLY RESOURCE. THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER RESOURCE OR ESCALATE MY CONCERN.

VIBRATION/SHUDDER/LOW RPM'S. NOTICED 2 DAYS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALER. DEALER WAS IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED. WAS TOLD TO CONTNUE DRIVING THE CAR, THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING. TOOK THE CAR BACK WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NO SOLUATION AT THIS TIME. THEY REFUSSED TO REPLACE MY BRAND NEW HONDA CRV 2015 WITH A TROUBLE FEE CAR. AND TO THIS DATE (7 MONTHS LATER) THEY STILL HAVE NO SOLUATION. MY CAR VIBRATES AND SHUDDERS ALL THE TIME THE RPM'S ARE LOW CAUSING A DISCONNECT WHEN ENGAGING THE GAS PEDDLE. HONDA SAID IT'S A SOFTWARE PROBLEM----WHICH THEY KNEW ABOUT WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE CAR---BUT AGAIN---HAVE NO SOLUTION. AGAIN, THE HONDA CRV 2015 VIBRATES/SHUDDERS/LOW RPM'S WHEN ITS IDLING OR IN MOTION----ALL THE TIME!!

VTC ACTUATOR IS FAILING CAUSING A GRINDING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED AND ADMITTED TO A DEFECTIVE PART. CONTINUED TO SELL CARS KNOWING THE PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE. 2014-2015 HONDAS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA REPORTS IT IS NOT DOING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OR ANY COMPONENTS. THEY ARE OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE IN THE MATTER.

2013 HONDA CRV WITH 27,000 MILES HAS BEEN MAKING GRINDING NOISES WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER. THIS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND WAS NOT HAPPENING EACH TIME. IT SEEMS TEMPERATURE RELATED. WE CALLED OUR DEALER WHO SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS KNOWN BY HONDA AND THAT HONDA WAS WORKING ON IT AND WE WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE DEALER ONCE HONDA HAD A SOLUTION. THEY SEEMED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND ADMITTED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD CALLED WITH EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINT. FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA. IN THE MEANTIME, BECAUSE OIL IS NOT GETTING TO THIS PART IN THE STARTER, WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS PART IS BEING WORN DOWN. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY HONDA YET IT APPEARS NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT WOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTACT OUR DEALER HERE IN BEND, OREGON, SO THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR CONCERN DOCUMENTED AND ON THE TABLE.
