AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY FROM BEND OREGON TO ALBANY OREGON I WAS IN A 2 CAR CRASH. I RECALL THE EXPLOSION OF THE AIRBAG AND THEN COMING TO AGAINST THE ROCK WALL AT DETROIT DAM. I HAD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SENDING IT SPINNING AND CRASHING UP AGAINST THE GUARD RAIL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE HONDA CRV WENT TO THE RIGHT AND ROLLED 3 TIMES COMING TO A STOP ON THE SIDE. THERE WAS MEDICS, POLICE AND AMBULANCES THAT CAME. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO GET ME OUT WITH THE JAWS OF LIFE AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE SALEM OREGON HOSPITAL. THE DRIVER OF THE FIRST CAR SUSTAINED A BROKEN SHOULDER AND TORN MUSCLES. I HAD A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND SEATBELT BURNS. MUSCLES HAD BEEN TORN FROM MY BACK AND SHOULDERS. I WAS IN THERAPY FOR MANY MONTHS AND STILL SUFFER FROM THE PAIN AND MEMORY LOSS.

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
ON JULY 31, 2015, WHILE EXITING I-95 NORTHBOUND CROSSING FROM THE FLORIDA TO GEORGIA STATE LINE FROM HIGH DENSITY HIGH SPEED VACATION TRAFFIC, MY 2009 HONDA CR-V SERPENTINE (DRIVE) BELT SNAPPED. I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER STEERING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRIVE SERPENTINE BELT. I WAS TRAVELING AT LEAST 45 MPH AS I HAD JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY; MY KNUCKLES WERE WHITE I WAS GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD TRYING TO ASSESS, AT HIGH SPEED AND WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME GOING THE SAME SPEEDS, HOW TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG GIRLS WERE WITH ME AND I FEARED THAT ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY WERE BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION CLEARLY IDENTIFIED A FAILED AIR-CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CLUTCH, THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF HONDA TSB 12-072 (SERVICE BULLETIN SB-10056005-7115), THAT MY VIN IS THE SUBJECT OF HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY ASSOCIATED WITH TSB 12-072. THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CAUSED THE COMPRESSOR TO WIND-UP/DAMAGE THE BELT WHEN IT COULD NOT TRAVEL OVER THE DRIVE WHEEL OF THE COMPRESSOR. THE ONLY WARNING WE HAD, IN HINDSIGHT, WAS WE LOST AIR CONDITIONING EARLIER IN OUR TRIP TO FLORIDA AND THE AC WAS BLOWING WARM AIR AND THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE COMPRESSOR AREA. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS TERRIFIED BY WHAT HAPPENED HERE - THIS SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT THAT PRESENTS AN UNREASONABLE RISK TO SAFETY AND SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY 1 MINUTE EARLIER, I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT HIGH SPEED BY CAR OR, WORSE, TRUCK. GIVEN THE NUMEROUS BLOG POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE TECH WHO SAID HE SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CAN RESULT IN THE DRIVE BELT GETTING DESTROYED BY A FAILED AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH, IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND THE AIR CONDITIONER, WHICH WAS ON AND WORKING GREAT, STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN VERY COMMON ON HONDA CR-VS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE FOUR DIFFERENT FAILURE MODES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AC COMPRESSOR EXPLODED OR IMPLODED AND COULD HAVE LEFT SHARDS OF METAL ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS DRIVING ON. TWO OTHER FAILURE MODES OF THIS PROBLEM INCLUDE THE CLUTCH AXLE SHAFT SHEARING AND THE CLUTCH ITSELF MELTING. HERE ARE THE RIDICULOUSLY HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE FOUND WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF RESEARCHING: 1. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FLDX1WVJQSC 2. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Q4AJBLXNH2E 3.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WE HAD BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV FROM O DONNEL HONDA IN ELLICOTT CITY (NEAR BALTIMORE). WE HAD ADDED AN ACCESSORY OF A REMOTE STARTER. THE DEALER INSTALLED THE REMOTE STARTER BUT IT IS NOT WORKING (CAR HAS TO BE TWICE STARTED AND RESTARTED). DEALER HAS TOLD US THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH ALL CRVS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHILE BUYING THE CAR. WE CONSIDER THIS AS FRAUDULENT PRACTICE. I AM REQUESTING DOT TO PLEASE HELP US ASK HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. EITHER THE REMOTE STARTER SHOULD BE REINSTALLED OR ANOTHER STARTER SHOULD BE INSTALLED WHICH WORKS CORRECTLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THIS IS A KNOWN ERROR (AS DEALER SAID) THEN ALL HONDA CRVS SHOULD BE RECALLED. RESTARTING THE CAR TWICE OR MORE DAMAGES THE CAR AND COULD LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES IF CAR STARTER STOPS WORKING SOONER THAN EXPECTED. WE RELY ALL OUR CAR FOR ALL PERSONAL, FAMILY AND BUSINESS NEEDS. IF A NEW CAR BREAKS DOWN DUE TO SUCH FAULTY PROGRAMMING, IT WILL CAUSE IMMENSE DAMAGE.

ENGINE
WE PURCHASED A HONDA CERTIFIED VEHICLE IN JAN 2015. AFTER 4,000 MILES THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON PERIODICALLY. WE CHECKED THE OIL AND THE DIPSTICK WAS DRY. I ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL, IT STILL SHOWED ONLY HALF ON THE DIP STICK AND WE TOOK IT TO HONDA. THEY CHARGED US FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO A CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER TWO 1,000 MILES CONSUMPTION CHECKS, IT WAS BURNING A QUART OF OIL IN EACH CHECK. THE LAST CHECK, WE TOOK A PICTURE OF THE DIPSTICK AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT BEFORE WE TOOK IT TO HONDA. IT WAS A QUART LOW AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THAT IT WAS BARELY LOW. THEY LIED TO US. THEY ALSO TOLD US THIS IS NORMAL CONSUMPTION. WE CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYONE TO LISTEN TO US.

WHEELS
NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHILE DRIVING. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT WHEEL BEARING AS MY CAR WAS RELATIVELY NEW(~20,000 MILES). THIS PROBLEM STARTED IRRITATING ME AND HENCE TOOK TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS SHOT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM GLAD I DID NOT GET ANY KIND OF SAFETY PROBLEMS UNTIL THEN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CRV IS 16 MONTHS OLD; I PARKED IN MY NEW GARAGE AND ON THE NEXT DAY I START THE CAR AND FUEL IS POURING OUT OF THE TANK OR FUEL SYSTEM OR FUEL PUMP. I SHUT DOWN THE CAR DUE TO THE POLLUTION IT COULD HAVE CASUED. I CALLED THE DEALER ON MONDAY AND HAD IT TOWED. THEY TELL ME THAT A CRITTER MUST HAVE CHEWED THROUGH THE LINE. HOW COULD THIS BE. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SCAM BY HONDA TO COVER ALL THE RECALL COSTS THEY ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH. MY GAS TANK COULD HAVE EXPLODED BECAUSE IF WAS STEAMING ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 34,000 MILES AND THIS IS THEM TRYING TO GET OUT OF A $1,000 PLUS CHARGE TO ME. PLEASE HELP ME; I HAVE CALLED HONDA BUT NO ONE IS RETURNING MY CALLS AND DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS PROBLEM.

SINCE MY CAR WAS NEW I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT COMING ON FOR NO REASON. IT INDICATES LOW TIRE PRESSURE IN ONE OF MY TIRES. IT IS PROVIDING A FALSE INDICATION OF TIRE TROUBLE THAT SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIST. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON HONDA FORUMS AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 HONDA CR-V'S.

SEATS
I HAVE BROUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA 2015 CRV FROM ONE OF THE HONDA DEALER IN SAN LEANDRO, CA. FEW DAYS LATER, I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION ON THE FRONT SEATS OF THE CAR WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN/SIGNAL WITH CAR IS IN THE DRIVE MODE (D) WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PADDLE. THE VIBRATION IS RANDOM AND NOT ALWAYS BUT CAN BE FEEL AT THE BACK OF YOUR BODY AND IT IS VERY STRONG SOMETIME THAT AS A DRIVER YOU GET DISTRACTED AND FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU HAVE TO ARE STUCK IN SOME TRAFFIC JAM AND HAVE TO STOP LONGER THEN THE VIBRATION ON BOTH THE FRONT SEAT IS QUITE NOTICING AND CAUSES IRRITATION ON THE BACK AND YOU CANNOT SIT FOR LONG IN WHILE THE SEATS VIBRATING. AND I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE HELPLESS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA. MOST OF THE 2015 HONDA CRV HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 8 MONTHS, BUT HONDA DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO FIX IT!
