FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE. I WOULD BE GETTING GAS, AND WHEN THE PUMP CLICKED TO INDICATE THAT IT WAS FULL I WOULD TAKE THE NOZZLE OUT AND THE GAS WOULD COME SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND DOWN THE TIRE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. IM AFFRAID OF A FIRE. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC YET. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I REALLY HOPE HONDA LOOKS INTO THIS. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON COLD DAYS, SOMETIMES A GRINDING SOUND OCCURS WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE THAT LASTS ABOUT A SECOND. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY COLD MORNING, BUT IT HAPPENS FAIRLY REGULARLY ON COLD MORNINGS. I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS NOT DEVELOPED A SOLUTION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE IS OCCURRING TO THE ENGINE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
MY VEHICLE IS A 2015HONDA CRV EXL WHEN YOU ARE AT 30-45 MPH AND YOU TRY TO INCREASE SPEED SLIGHTLY THE VEHICLE VIBRATES LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING AND SLIPPING OR IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER NOT SURE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE RPM SETTING AT TIMES IT SHUDDERS QUIT BAD. TOOK IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND AT THAT TIME NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT SUBMIT IT TO HONDA ENGINEERING . I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE FUTURE IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS COULD BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME CVT AND POWERTRAIN AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT EXIST. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DOOR LOCK ON MY 2009 CRV DOES NOT WORK, NEITHER MANUALLY NOR WITH THE ELECTRONIC "FOB". I CANNOT GET INTO THE CAR. I WENT ONLINE ON EDMUNDS CAR FORUM AND NOTED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV. PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE THE CAR OWNER LOCKED OUTSIDE HIS/HER CAR IN THE FREEZING COLD WITH NO ACCESS TO A PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE HONDA DOOR ACTUATOR SITUATION. IT IS EVIDENT THAT HONDA HAS NEGLIGENTLY OMITTED A VAST MAJORITY OF AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THEIR RECENT LIABILITY LAWSUIT RECALL. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS ON MY 2009 CRV DOOR LOCKS SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2009 AND AM AGAIN EXPERIENCING CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND NUMEROUS OTHER COMMENTS FROM SEVERAL SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS OF 2009 CRV OWNERS, HONDA HAS NEGLIGENTLY AND PURPOSEFULLY OMITTED A VAST MAJORITY OF VEHICLES IN THEIR RECALL IN AN ATTEMPT TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THEIR LIABILITY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 HONDA CR-V HAS HAD A LOCK ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION PASSENGER DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED/LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCKS WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE CAR, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK! ALSO, THE DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN I GOT BELOW 10MPH AND MAKE A HUGE CLICKING SOUND. I CAN NOT DRIVE ONE OF MY NEPHEWS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TO AVOID SAFETY CONCERNS, EVERY NIGHT WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED OR LOCKED....DEPENDING ON IT'S MOOD. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS HUGE SAFETY RISK AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF HONDA AND ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IF I WANT HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IT WILL COST OVER $700 FOR A PROBLEM CAUSED BY HONDA. I HAVE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2007 HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME LOCK ACTUATOR ISSUE AND FEEL THEIR SAFETY IS AT RISK FOR THEIR PASSENGERS AND FOR THE CAR IN GENERAL. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER DOOR BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL THE PASSENGER DOOR AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR A REIMBURSEMENT. I DO HOME WHEN THEY FIX MY DRIVER DOOR THAT WORKS THEY WILL FIX THE WINDOW THAT SHAKES IF I LET IN HALT WAY DOWN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BECAME EXTREMELY ILL FROM THE OFFGASSING OF THE TOXIC CHEMICALS IN MY NEW CAR. IT MADE ME DIZZY, NAUSEOUS, DISORIENTED, SLEEPY & LETHARGIC, GAVE ME A HEADACHE AND CAUSED BURNING TO MY LIPS, FACE AND LUNGS. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BREATHE. A 2012 ECOLOGY CENTER STUDY SHOWS THAT THERE ARE OVER 270 CHEMICALS IN A NEW CAR, 70 OF THEM TOXIC (FORMALDEHYDE, STYRENE, BENZENE, AND TOLUENE ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, ASTHMA, LEARNING DISORDERS, LEUKEMIA AND OTHER CANCERS) MY SYMPTOMS OF BREATHING DIFFICULTY, LETHARGY AND SLEEPINESS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THESE CHEMICALS POSE A HEALTH RISK FOR SIDS IN INFANTS. THE ECOLOGY CENTER AND AN ATTORNEY FOR SOMEONE WHO SUED TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE TOLD THEM THEY ALSO BECAME ILL FROM THE TOXINS IN THEIR NEW CARS. AMERICAN HONDA EVEN TOLD ME THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BECOME ILL FROM THE CHEMICALS. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THESE TOXINS. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL PRODUCTS THAT POSE HEALTH RISKS. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION BEFORE SOMEONE BUYS A CAR. THE DEALER WOULDN'T REFUND. THEY PUT IN AN IONIZER, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD REMOVE THE CHEMICALS. WHEN I BREATHED IN THE AIR, AFTER THEY PUT IN THE IONIZER, IT BURNED MY LUNGS SO MUCH THAT I COULD BARELY BREATHE. MY LUNGS STILL HURT. THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOC, EPA, CALIF DEPT OF HEALTH AND JOHNS HOPKINS ALL REPORT THAT IONIZERS CREATE OZONE WHICH DAMAGES LUNGS, MAKES ANY CHEMICAL THAT IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH EVEN MORE VOLATILE AND CAN BE LETHAL. AUTO MANUFACTURERS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN TOXIC CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS. HOPEFULLY, THE NHTSA CAN DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THIS PRACTICE AND PROTECT CONSUMERS, ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE CHILDREN, SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER OR DIE NEEDLESSLY. I ALSO WONDER IF CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE REPORTING THE COMPLAINTS OF ILLNESSES FROM THE TOXINS TO THE GOVERNMENT. *TR

ENGINE
THERE IS VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATIONS WHEN VEHICLE STOPS AT STOP LIGHT. IF VEHICLE IS 'D' AND 0 SPEED IT VIBRATES AND RPM NEEDLE IS NOT SABLE. ALSO, VIBRATIONS ARE AT 60 AND HIGHER SPEED. ENGINE IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL AND FEEL/SOUND LIKE ENGINE IS STRESSED. CALLED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP ALSO SAYS ALL THE 2015 CRV HAS THE ISSUE SO ITS NORMAL!! PLEASE DISCUSS WITH HONDA AS ALL THE NEW HONDA 2015 CRV HAS VIBRATION ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND HONDA NEEDS TO FACE UP TO THE ISSUE WITH THEIR NEW ENGINE CVT DESIGN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WITH EVER-INCREASING REGULARITY, ONE OR BOTH LOW-BEAM BULBS HAVE BEEN BURNING OUT. HAVE REPLACED ONE OR BOTH AT LEAST 5 TIMES, THE LAST TIME WAS BOTH BULBS, AFTER EXACTLY 34 DAYS SINCE PURCHASED NEW AT O'REILLY'S. OWNER HAS INSTALLED BULBS EVERY TIME. ALL PRECAUTIONS WERE TAKEN, INCLUDING NOT TOUCHING THE BASE WITH BARE SKIN, OR GLASS - WITH ANYTHING. THE LAST TIME - 34 DAYS PRIOR TO LAST FAILURE - OWNER APPLIED TERMINAL GREASE TO BULB TERMINALS, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY ALREADY IN PLACE. RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, OWNER NOTED STORIES OF CORROSION OR HEAT DAMAGE ON TERMINALS OF HEADLIGHT SWITCHES OF CERTAIN HONDA MODELS. OWNER DISASSEMBLED HIS STEERING COLUMN, AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE. OWNER ALSO NOTICED EARLY ON (2013) WHAT APPEARED TO BE FLICKERING OR PULSING OF HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. OWNER INSTALLED PERMANENT DIGITAL VOLTMETER TO BATTERY, AND NOTICED NO FLUCTUATIONS IN VOLTAGE, WITH A STEADY VOLTAGE OF 14.15V UNDER NORMAL NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS. THE LAST PAIR OF BULBS TO BURN OUT WERE EXAMINED. OWNER NOTED THAT THE COILED PORTION OF THE TUNGSTEN ELEMENT WAS COMPLETELY INTACT. THE WIRE JUST BEFORE OR JUST AFTER THE COILED PORTION HAD BEEN INTERRUPTED, AND A SMALL BALL OF MOLTEN TUNGSTEN WAS AT THE END OF THE SEVERED WIRE OPPOSITE THE COIL.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
ON 2/10/2014, AROUND 8:50 AM EST I WAS ALONE AND DRIVING TO THE OFFICE WHEN MY CAR SKIDDED AND I LOST CONTROL. DUE TO THE MOMENTUM THE CAR HAD GAINED, IT WENT INTO A FREE SPIN. THOUGH THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AWD AND ABS, IT STILL COULD NOT CORRECT THE SKID AND WENT OUT OF CONTROL. IT DASHED AGAINST A TREE ON THE PATHWAY FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IMPACT RESULTED IN DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY, HOWEVER IT EXPLODED INSTEAD OF INFLATING. THIS INCIDENT HAS RESULTED IN INJURIES TO MY HAND, NECK AND BACK. RECENTLY I HAVE HEARD RECALLS FROM HONDA RELATED TO FAULTY AIR BAGS, HOWEVER DID NOT FIND ANY OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE...UPDATED 02/25/15 *BF UPDATED 9/22/2017*CN
