SERVICE BRAKES
I APPLIED MY BRAKES APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT LOW SPEED. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD ALMOST NO BRAKES. I KEPT MY FOOT ON IT AND WHEN IT GOT AS FAR AS I COULD PUSH IT MY ENGINE ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH RPMS. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I HAD A TOW TRUCK COME AND PICK IT UP.

THE AC COMPRESSOR FAILED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT THIS MILEAGE AND YEAR. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE DEALT WITH BUT HONDA HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2010 MODEL.

POWER TRAIN
ABOUT 1-2X PER MONTH, AFTER CAR SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS (AND POWER TRAIN IS COLD), VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN IN REVERSE AND RIDING BRAKE AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. RPM DOES DROP TO ABOUT 500 RPM FOR ABOUT A SECOND, MAKING VEHICLE FEEL AS IF IT WILL STALL (SIMILAR TO NOT GIVING ENOUGH GAS WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). ENGINE WILL THEN REV SLIGHTLY ABOVE INITIAL IDLE BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL. THROTTLE RESPONSE ALSO DIMINISHES FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTERWARD. DEALER FOUND NO TROUBLE CODES AND ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS WITH IDLE VIBRATION ISSUE. HOWEVER, FREQUENCY OF IDLE VIBRATION IS MUCH MORE REGULAR WITH THOSE WHO HAVE IT. CAR HAS NOT STALLED YET BUT ALWAYS THINK IT MIGHT. MY DAD HAS AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE AND HAS HAD SAME SHUDDERING ISSUE, THOUGH WITH MUCH LESS FREQUENCY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
ABS AND VSA LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ABS MODULATOR NEEDED REPLACING. MY COST WOULD BE $2450.00. SINCE THIS COMPONENT CONTROLS BRAKES AND STABILITY IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO A RECALL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN THE CAR IS ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING UPHILL THE CAR ROLLS BACK BY AT LEAST 10 MILES AND PICK UP AGAIN AND STALLS AGAIN. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NOR MAL FOR THE CAR TO STALL. I NEVER ACCEPTED THAT EXPLANATION, THE CAR NEEDS TOP BE RECALLED ALONG WITH THE OTHER CARS. THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

WHEELS
MY 1 YEAR-OLD HONDA CR-V HAS 17,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE I DO A LOT OF DRIVING FOR MY BUSINESS. IN THAT TIME, THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS AS WINTER WAS SETTING IN, AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHERE WE BOTH ASSUMED IT WAS JUST THE COLD WEATHER CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOSE A LITTLE PRESSURE, SO THEY PUT A LITTLE AIR IN AND RESET THE BUTTON. THE OTHER THREE TIMES, IT HAS BEEN QUITE WARM, SO COLD WEATHER IS NOT THE ISSUE. EACH TIME, I HAVE NOT BEEN ANYWHERE I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, BUT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC TWICE AND STOPPED AT A FORD DEALER I WAS PASSING WHEN IT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND OF JULY 4TH. EACH TIME, NOBODY COULD FIND ANY PROBLEM, AND WE JUST RESET THE BUTTON. IT DOESN'T MAKE ME COMFORTABLE TO SEE THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT ALSO DOESN'T MAKE ME COMFORTABLE THAT THE WARNING LIGHT IS MEANT TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. HOW WILL I KNOW THAT I CAN COUNT ON IT WORKING PROPERLY IF THERE REALLY IS A PROBLEM?!

SERVICE BRAKES
TURNED LEFT INTO DRIVEWAY AND HIT BRAKES, CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND SPED UP. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND IT STOPPED JUST BEFORE RAMMING INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO, A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED AFTER I APPLIED THE BRAKES, TURNED LEFT, THEN SLIGHT RIGHT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO PARK. SUDDENLY, INSTEAD OF STOPPING, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO STOP ABOUT 20 FEET FROM MY INTENDED STOPPING PLACE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT THIS NEW HONDA CR-V WITH 3,000 SOME ODD MILES ALREADY ON IT, SO PRACTICALLY NEW. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON AND EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASES IT.TO CHECK IT OUT THE ATTENDANT CAN'T FIND A PUNCTURE AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE PRESSURE IS LEAVING.SO THEY JUST RESET IT. UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN I TOOK IT INTO FIRESTONE AND THEY REALLY EXAMINED THE CAR ONLY TO HAVE ME WALK OVER AND SEE THAT THERE ARE RIPPLES (SOME PRETTY LARGE RIPPLES) IN VARIES PLACES OF THE TIRE. HE ALSO PUSH WITH HIS FINGERS THE TIRES INWARD TO SHOW HOW EASILY THESE TIRES MADE THE RIPPLES. I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCK. HE SAID THESE TIRES COULD POP AT ANY TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST PURCHASED A CAR THAT NEEDS A COMPLETE SET OF NEW TIRES. FUNNY THING IS ONE OF THE TIRES ACTUALLY DID GET FLAT MAYBE 5 MONTHS AND I REPLACED THAT TIRE WITH ANOTHER CONTINENTAL TIRE (BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IF YOU GET NEW TIRES YOU NEED TO GET AT LEAST 2 OF THE SAME) NOT WANTING TO BUY 2 NEW TIRES I OPTED JUST TO GET 1 OF THE SAME BRAND. THE ATTENDANT FROM FIRESTONE COULDN'T EVEN TELL WHICH TIRE (5 MONTHS OLD) WAS NEW. RIDICULOUS AND SERIOUSLY UNSAFE ARE THESE TIRES.

WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC THE PASSENGER DOORS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. AT ONE POINT THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WOULD UNLOCK ON ITS OWN. I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO STAY LOCKED. THE NEXT TIME I USED THE CAR ALL SEEMED NORMAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MAY 2ND, 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE A WATER STAIN WAS NOTICED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE B PILLAR ROOF. PART OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT INCLUDED REMOVING THE STAIN THAT SEEMED TO BE FROM A PARTIALLY OPENED SUNROOF DURING SHIPPING. THE STAIN WAS REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. A SHORT TIME LATER ANOTHER WATER STAIN DEVELOPED IN THE SAME AREA. AGAIN THE STAIN WAS REMOVED AND THE VEHICLE CHECKED. AFTER THE CR-V'S THIRD VISIT TO THE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN "INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SEAL SEALER" WAS USED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. OUR HONDA HAD TO BE SENT TO AN OUTSIDE HONDA APPROVED BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ON DISCOVERING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WE NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF OUR "NEW" VEHICLE. GIVEN THE FACT IT HAD SUSTAINED WATER DAMAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES. WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WATER BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF METAL ROOF PANELS. IN TURN THAT COULD LEAD TO RUST, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE RELEASE OF THE SEAM SEALER THAT HELPS PROVIDE THE RIGIDITY NEEDED FOR ROLLOVER CRASHES. ALSO, THE CONCERN OF MOLD DEVELOPING IN THE ROOF AND CARPET. UPON HEARING OUR CONCERNS THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TRADE IN OUR WATER DAMAGED CR-V FOR A NEW ONE. WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES THIS CR-V ALSO DEVELOPED A ROOF LEAK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP AND BODY SHOP HAS HAD OUR CURRENT CR-V TWO WEEKS, TO FIX THE LEAKED CAUSED BY HONDA NOT USING ENOUGH SEALER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF PANELS AND RAIL STUDS.HONDA IS NOW USING OUR CR-V AS FIELD REPORT CASE STUDY TO SUBMIT TO HONDA ENGINEERS. WE WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OUT OF CONCERN FOR OTHER CR-V OWNERS. MANY OWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF MOLD DANGERS AND STRUCTURAL ROOF WEAKNESS.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN I TURN ON ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT ANY 1-2 HOUR GAP, I HEAR A CRANKY ENGINE SOUND AFTER THE IGNITION. I FOUND THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN 2013 MODEL. MY CLOSE FRIEND RETURNED HIS HONDA CRV AFTER A YEAR AS IT SOUNDED LOUD IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS OF MONTANA. IN MY CASE IT WAS NOT SOUNDING EVERYTIME TILL NOW. I NOTIFIED THAT TO MY CAR DEALER WHEN I TOOK THIS VEHICLE FROM BOB ROHRMAN. THESE DAYS IT HAS BECOME A DAILY ROUTINE, THAT SOUND IS HAPPENING EACH TIME YOU IGNITE ENGINE AFTER A GAP OF SAY 1-2 HOURS. MY BRAKES WERE ALWAYS NOISY SINCE DAY ONE OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO NOTIFIED TO THE DEALER HOWEVER I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO WET CONDITIONS. HOWEVER IT IS A REGULAR THING. MY CAR IS JUST 7880 MILES AND WELL KEPT, WHY IS THE BRAKE SO NOISY INCLUDING ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ENGINE NOW. PLEASE PROVIDE A RESOLUTION OR I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REQUEST FOR REFUND.
