SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELTS ON VEHICLE HAVE INSUFFICIENT TENSION, FAIL TO RETRACT FULLY WHEN TAKEN OFF. SEAT BELT LATCHES THEN GET CAUGHT BETWEEN DOOR AND DOOR FRAME, THUS CAUSING DOOR TO CLOSE ON THEM AND RISK BENDING OR BREAKING THEM. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED AN INDENTATION IN ONE INSIDE DOOR FRAME WHERE THE "DOOR CLOSED" BUTTON CONTACTS, THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO THINK THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF THE BELT LATCHES BECOME BENT OR WEAKENED BY THE STRESS OF REPEATED DOOR CLOSINGS. *TR

ENGINE
AFTER TEN DAYS OF OWNING THIS CAR TODAY IS THE FIRST TIME THAT EXPERIENCED ENGINE VIBRATION AT IDLE WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH THE CABIN AND THE DRIVER SEAT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE ENGINE VIBRATION IS NOTICED AROUND 550 600 RPM. IF THE AC IS TURNED ON THE RPM INCREASE AND THE VIBRATION GOES AWAY. SWITCHING THE AC OFF THE RPM DROP TO AROUND 550 600 AND THE VIBRATION RETURN. I HOPE HONDA IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT. I HAVE TO KEEP CHANGING IT EVERY FEW MONTHS. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT THE HEADLIGHT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. LOW BEAM IS VERY DIM AND THE HIGH BEAM DOES NOT WORK. I ALSO EXPERIENCED OTHER TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. VERY OFTEN, THE FUEL CAP WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I CHECK EVERY TIME AND THE CAP IS SCREWED ON TIGHTLY. AFTER A FEW TIME TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON THE LIGHT GOES OUT. ALSO, AFTER I DRIVE MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE BURNED PLASTIC. MY RESEARCH ON INDICATES THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAD NOT ONLY SIMILAR BUT SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS? I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHT FIXED AND WILL COST ME A LOT $$$$. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I JUST DISCOVERED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR THE MASTER SWITCH. I DELIVER MAIL WITH THIS VEHICLE. AS I WAS DRIVING FROM ONE MAILBOX TO ANOTHER THE SMELL OF SOMETHING MELTING WAS OVERWHELMING. THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT ROLLING UP ANYMORE AND I THEN REALIZED SOMETHING HAD GONE WRONG. AS I NEVER OWNED THIS VEHICLE DURING THIS RECALL I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. I ENDED UP DISCOVERING WHAT WAS WRONG MYSELF AND REPLACING THE SWITCH. THIS VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD A WARRANTY. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. I WAS DRIVING, CAME TO A STOP AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO 25 MPH. THE CAR HESITATED UPON ACCELERATION AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. NORMALLY WHEN IT OCCURS IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER A STOP AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR CORNER. HOWEVER, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I REPORTED IT TO HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING IF THE DEALER THE CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS UNLIKELY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE CAR VIBRATES HEAVILY AT IDLE. THIS VIBRATION FAR EXCEEDS ANY VIBRATION I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. ALL PASSENGERS CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION, BUT IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - WHEN EMPTY IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE VIBRATION IS SO PRONOUNCED THAT I HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING MY EYES RESULTING IN EYE-STRAIN. THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE VIBRATION (DESCRIBED BELOW) OCCURS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED BY MOST TEST-DRIVERS AND SO HONDA IS DECEIVING THE PUBLIC BY SELLING THIS CAR. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE DOING NOTHING TO SOLVE IT AND THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THE CR-V. THIS IS SHAMEFUL. MY FINDINGS: 1. THE STRONG VIBRATION / SHAKING HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WHEN: A. ENGINE IS WARM 5-15 MINUTES B. AT A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE C. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE (ALL ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS ARE OFF - LIGHTS, AC , RADIO ETC) D. RPMS DROP TO JUST ABOVE THE 500 LINE 2. THE STRONG VIBRATION / SHAKING COMES AND GOES CYCLICALLY WHEN: A. ENGINE IS WARM 5-15 MINUTES B. AT A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE C. THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE. SUCH AS: AC OR MANUALLY TURNED ON RUNNING LIGHTS - HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CYCLE VARIES, BUT IT WILL DO SO EVENTUALLY. THE RPMS CYCLE BETWEEN THE 550-600 (HARD VIBRATION / SHAKING) AND 750-800?? (AGAIN NOT SURE OF THE EXACT READING) WHICH PRODUCES A MUCH MORE TOLERABLE (ALTHOUGH STILL VERY ANNOYING) VIBRATION 3. THE STRONG VIBRATION SHAKING DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH OF A LOAD ON THE ENGINE TO HOLD THE RPMS STEADY AT THE HIGHER IDLE RPM MARK OF APPROXIMATELY 750-800. ALTHOUGH, THE LESS PRONOUNCED (ALTHOUGH STILL VERY ANNOYING) VIBRATION REMAINS. A. MOST CONSISTENT THINGS TO DO THIS: AUTO-LIGHT FUNCTION WHEN ENGAGED WITH LIGHTS ON & MANUALLY TURNING ON FILL NIGHTTIME LIGHTS . *TR

TIRES
BOUGHT 4 NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES FOR MY HONDA CR-V IN AUG 2012. RIGHT AFTER BEING PUT ON, NOTICED LITTLE BULGES IN EACH TIRE ON OUTSIDE, BUT THE TIRE COMPANY PERSONNEL CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER MORE TIME, IT NEVER WENT AWAY AND THE TIRES BEGAN GETTING A LARGER BULGE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THEY SEEMED DEFECTIVE. I TRIED 3 X TO GET THE TIRE STORE TO REPLACE THEM, THEY SAID THEY WERE OK...THEY LOOSE AIR FREQUENTLY, AND MAKE A TERRIBLE THUMPING SOUND WHEN I DRIVE. THESE ARE NOT GOOD TIRES AND I HAVEN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE MILEAGE WARRANTY ON THESE. I WILL NOW CONTACT GOODYEAR DIRECTLY AFTER READING SOME OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES. *TR
