SUSPENSION
TOOK 2003 CR/V TO HONDA DEALER FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. DEALER STATED: RIGHT REAR CAMBER IS OUT OF TOLERANCE. UNABLE TO ALIGN. RECOMMEND INSTALLING ADJUSTABLE CAMBER CONTROL ARM. PARTS AND LABOR ESTIMATE $389. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH VERY MANY CR/V OWNERS. IT CAUSES EXCESS TIRE WEAR.

ENGINE, SUSPENSION
CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 7/1/15. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, AROUND 500 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR AT IDLE (I.E., STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT). ENTIRE BODY OF CAR SHUDDERS SIGNIFICANTLY CAUSING DISCOMFORT TO PASSENGERS AND NAUSEA IN SOME CASES. THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY BEGINS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 5-10 MINUTES, AND WORSENS THE LONGER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND DEALER REFUSES TO PROVIDE A REFUND.

SUSPENSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE 2015 CRV EX VIBRATES AT IDLE SO BADLY THAT IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE IS GOING TO STALL. IT ALSO VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. THIS STARTED AS SOON AS I PURCHASED THE CRV. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2014, WITH ONLY 200 MILES ON IT, I WAS TOLD HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS WORKING ON A FIX FOR IT. IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS WITH MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER AND STILL NO FIX. I HAVE BEEN TOLD RECENTLY AT THE DEALER THAT HONDA WAS MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE COST. IT CONTINUES TO BE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE AND I HOPE HONDA WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ISSUE. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS CORRECTION NOW. ALSO, I HAVE HAD A NOISE FROM UNDER THE CRV DRIVING OVER DIPS OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEEDS, MOST NOTICEABLE BELOW 30 MPH. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAS SINCE REPLACED TO REAR STRUTS 2 TIMES ALREADY AND STILL THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. I WILL CONTINUE TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN MY WORST EXPERIENCE WITH A NEW CAR SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY FIRST CAR SOME 30 YEARS AGO.

ENGINE
THE CAR VIBRATES AND SHUDDERS DURING IDLE AT STOPS, AS WELL AS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS--DURING THE SHUDDER CYCLE, IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE COULD SPUTTER OUT BUT IT CYCLES BACK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND IS NOT DISCLOSING IT TO NEW BUYERS, AND DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. DEALER SAYS OH YEAH, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND HONDA IS WORKING ON IT. THIS IS AN ABOMINATION; THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUED TO BE SOLD AND OWNERS SHOULD HAVE A REMEDY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY NEW HONDA 2015 CR-V LX IS VIBRATING BADLY. IT VIBRATES IN ANY SPEED AND ON PARKING. IT STARTED ON THE 5 DAY AND GOT WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I FEEL NAUSEOUS. IT CREATES VERY UNSAFE DRIVING FOR ME. MY BODY SHAKES. DRIVER SEAT SHAKES. AND VIBRATION IS VERY LOUD. HONDA DEALERSHIP KNEW THE PROBLEM BUT STILL SOLD ME DEFECTIVE CAR. DRIVING THIS CAR CREATES DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE ROAD. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANE, TRANSMISSION STARTS MAKING LOUD SOUNDS.

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE AIR BAGS FOR 2002-2006 CRVS WERE BEING RECALLED SO I CALLED NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE IN IRVINE, CA IN APRIL 2015 TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. AT THE TIME NORM REEVES IRVINE STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY CAME IN FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM SINCE (NOW END OF AUGUST 2015) WHICH IS ABOUT 4 MONTHS SINCE I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PUT MY NAME ON A WAITING LIST.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CR-V PRESENTS ITSELF WITH A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AT START, CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE,VTC ACTUATOR WHICH IS REFERENCED IN HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 09-010. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2008, AND IS ON GOING. THIS DEFECT SERIOUSLY AFFECTS RESALE VALUE, AND POTENTIALLY CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA'S 60K POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT HONDA SAYS AT THE CURRENT TIME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND HONDA USA NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION, AS THE FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY OF THE PROBLEM WORSENS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS UNRESOLVED COMPLAINTS AND VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS DEFECT. I HAVE CONSULTED A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY, BUT BECAUSE HONDA MAKES NO EFFORT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, IT DOESN'T QUALIFY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I ATTEMPTED TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS. HOWEVER, THE LEFT SIDE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DID NOT LOCK. I THINK THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AS MY PASSENGERS. ALSO, KNOWING THAT MY CAR WAS LOCKED ALREADY BUT NOT, THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL DANGER OF BAD GUYS COMING INSIDE EITHER TO TAKE VALUABLE ITEMS OR DAMAGE MY CAR. I AM PLANNING TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT WONDERING IF THE CHARGES WOULD BE COVERED BY ANY SERVICE BULLETINS TO GIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,408.

ENGINE
COLD START OF ENGINE CAUSES LOUD GRINDING NOISE ONLY 2 AND A HALF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP 50,000 MILES LOOKING ONLINE IT IS NOT A UNIQUE PROBLEM AND IS AN ENGINE DESIGN FLAW. HONDA ONLY SAYS IT'S WORKING ON THE PROBLEM BUT DOESN'T HAVE A FIX YET. THEY SAY THE OFFICIAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE VTEC ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF POSTS ASKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULD ASSUME THE COMPANY WOULD WORK ON IT ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING WITH SPEED CONTROL ON I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO RELEASE IT. THE CAR SPED UP AS IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND HELD THERE. I CONTINUED TO TAP THE BRAKES, BUT THE SPEED CONTROL WOULD NOT RELEASE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND IT WOULD NOT RELEASE. NOW I AM FLYING DOWN THE APRON OF THE ROAD JUST MISSING STOPPED CARS STILL GOING 65 BEING JOSTLED VIOLENTLY. THE SPEED CONTROL DISENGAGES AFTER I PASS ABOUT 20 CARS. THE CAR FINALLY IS ABLE TO STOP. MY HAND WAS AT NO POINT CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS OF THE SPEED CONTROL. MY FOOT NEVER HIT OR HELD THE ACCELERATOR. A RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS IMPALED BY DEBRIS.
