UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR WILL UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR IS FULLY BRAKED (AT LIGHTS, STOPS, ETC) AND WHEN THE CAR STARTS AGAIN (APPROX 5MPH) THE DOORS WILL LOCK AGAIN. AT 10-12 MPH, THEY WILL UNLOCK AND REMAIN UNLOCKED FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE DRIVE (UNTIL STOPPED AGAIN). THE CHILD PROTECTION SETTING IS ON. WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE KEYFOB. THE DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED WHILE THE REST OF THE CAR IS LOCKED. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT AN ISSUE OF PERSONAL PROTECTION AND IS A NON-DETERRENT TOWARDS THEFT.

AIR BAGS, SEATS, SEAT BELTS
I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ABOUT 10 FEET BEHIND A VEHICLE AND REAR ENDED BY A CAR GOING AT LEAST 40 - 50 MPH. THE CRASH CAUSED MY CAR TO BE PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR, BUT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR OF MY CAR, PUSHING THE BACK SEATS INTO THE FRONT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE AND MY SEATBELT DID NOT RESTRAIN ME AFTER THE INITIAL IMPACT CAUSING ME TO BE THROWN INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND KNOCKING ME OUT. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS IN MY CAR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT THE CRV 2015 2 WEEKS AGO AND FROM DAY 1 FELT THE VIBRATION WHEN ON RED LIGHTS AT FULL STOP. NEVER BOTHERED UNTILL COLD WEATHER CAME IN FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I OPERATED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT TURNING THE A/C ON. IT VIBRATES WITHIN FEW SECONDS OF PUTTING IT AT A FULL STOP FOR TRAFFIC/ RED SIGNALS. THE VIBRATION HAS BEEN COMPARED TO OTHER SIMILAR CLASS DIFFERENT BRANDED SUVS BUT NONE SHOWED SUCH BEHAVIOR. THE CAR FEELS LIKE A SPARK PLUG IS GONE WHEN IT SHAKES. ITS AN ABNORMAL ISSUE AND THE VIBRATION ALSO CAUSES THE SURPENTINE BELT PULLEY TO MAKE A LITTLE NOISE USUALLY WHICH WE SEE IN VERY OLD CARS HAVING WORN OUT PULLIES.

ENGINE
PURCHASED A HONDA CRV 2012 FROM A DEALERSHIP BUT THEY BROUGHT THE CAR TO ME FOR A TEST DRIVE WHICH RESULTED IN MY NOT HEARING THE GRINDING NOISE ON STARTUP. THE ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING SOUND EVERY TIME YOU START IT (COLD STARTS...WHEN I START IT IN THE MORNING IT MAKES THE SOUND AND IF I START IT WITHIN 15-20 MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL START IT IS MUCH MILDER OF A NOISE.) THE HONDA MECHANIC SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT (STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME) BECAUSE HONDA HAS NOT DONE A "SOFTWARE UPDATE." I NOW SEE, AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV'S THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED.

SUSPENSION
HONDA DEALER IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ, INDICATED THAT THE FRONT COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS ARE TORN ON MY2016 HONDA CRV AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE HONDA BUSHINGS ARE NOT MADE OF A SOLID/QUALITY COMPONENT AND ARE FAILING AT UNUSUAL RATES WHICH EQUATE TO UNSAFE DRIVING AND COSTLY REPAIR FOR THE CONSUMER. IS THERE A CONCERN FOR SUSPENSION/ALIGNMENT AND STEERING PROBLEMS DUE TO TORN BUSHINGS AND IS THIS RELATED TO THE CONTROL ARM BUSHING RECALL FOR HONDA CRV 2006 ID#12V124000?

ENGINE
LOUD NOISE ON START-UP ALL THE TIME (DOESN'T MATTER IF COLD OR HOT). TOOK TO DEALER, PEORIA, IL - 12/30/2014 SUSPECTED VTC ACTUATOR. DEALER SAID COULD NOT DUPLICATE, AFTER I EVEN RECORDED THE NOISE. BROUGHT BACK IN APRIL 2015, INSISTED THEY LISTEN WHILE I WAS THERE. DIAGNOSED VTC ACTUATOR. SAID HONDA HAD A TECH BULLETIN, SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT ALLOW DEALER TO FIX IT. TOLD TO CHECK BACK AGAIN SOON. I CHECKED BACK OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. SAME ANSWER. THERE IS NO FIX, HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND SAY THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I CAN'T RESALE THE VEHICLE WITH THIS NOISE. THE NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND EMBARRASSING ON EVERY START UP. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX OR PROVIDE ANY SOLUTION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT HONDA VEHICLES, AND CONSUMERS CAN'T GET THE PROBLEM FIXED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA CRV AND WOUND UP RETURNING THE VEHICLE THAT DAY WITH ONLY 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR. WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY, MY HUSBAND WAS BEHIND US IN OUR OTHER CAR. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE GAS PEDAL BASICALLY LOST POWER. IT FELT AS IF THE RESISTANCE BEHIND THE PEDAL JUST DISAPPEARED (ACCELERATOR HESITANCY ALSO HAPPENED AT A LEFT TURN GOING 5 MPH). AT THAT MOMENT THE CAR LOST POWER...SEVERAL SECONDS LATER, THE PEDAL RESUMED ITS NORMAL FEEL AND POWER RESUMED...IT DID THIS 3 TIMES. RIGHT AT THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS, I HEARD A TRIPLE CLICK (SOUNDED LIKE THE CLICKS YOU GET WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON AFTER BATTERY DRAIN). SO, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, LOSS OF POWER, POWER, LOSS OF POWER, POWER, LOSS OF POWER, POWER. I IMMEDIATELY GOT INTO THE RIGHT LANE THINKING THE CAR WAS GOING TO DIE ON ME AND EXPECTING TO HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. MY HUSBAND WATCHED THE WHOLE THING IN OUR TRUCK SO HE HAD A GOOD VIEW. HE SAW 3 EXPULSIONS OF BLUISH EXHAUST COME OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE AND SAW THE CAR SLOW DOWN AT EACH OF THE POWER LOSS EVENTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS HAPPENING NO ONLY TO THIS CAR, BUT THE FORESTER AND RAV4 AND OTHERS. SERVICE WAS SO RELIANT ON THEIR COMPUTER READ OUT, WHICH SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, THAT WE DID NOT HAVE FAITH THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND FIND A SOLUTION. SO WE CANCELLED THE SALE. IT IS ASHAME THAT THE NHTS HAS ONLY REQUIRED MAT CHANGES AS RECALLS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMPUTER PROGRAMMING ERROR IN WHICH THE CAR COMPUTER (WHICH NOW CONTROLS THE GAS PEDAL RATHER THAN AN ACTUAL LINE GOING TO IT) IS TELLING THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. AND THE FACT THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECORD A PROBLEM LIKELY IS FURTHER EVIDENCE OF A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND OUR OWN GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG IS MAKING OUR ROADS LESS SAFE. THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT. CAR MATS, REALLY PEOPLE?

VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN IDLING AND WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 - 55 MILES PER HOUR. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME AND THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. IN SPITE OF THE VIBRATION PROBLEM WITH THE CRV, HONDA CONTINUES TO SELL THE CRV WITHOUT DISCLOSING THIS KNOWN DEFECT TO THE BUYING PUBLIC. WHILE HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW CAN A BUYER KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
