VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN MAY, 2014, THE RIGHT REAR POWER WINDOW QUIT WORKING AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP AFTER HAVING IT COMPLETELY DOWN. I TOGGLED THE WINDOW SWITCH A FEW TIMES AND THE WINDOW EVENTUALLY WENT BACK UP, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. WE LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE THE SUMMERTIME IS VERY HOT, SO THE WINDOW WAS NEVER USED AGAIN DUE TO AIR CONDITIONING. THE WINDOW WAS USED RECENTLY BECAUSE THE WEATHER HAS COOLED DOWN FROM THE SUMMER HEAT. THIS TIME, TOGGLING THE SWITCH DID NOT WORK AND THE WINDOW STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION COMPLETELY. I TOOK THE HONDA CR-V TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WHICH DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I'VE RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH FAULTY MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCHES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT HONDA MODELS. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS AFFECTING JUST UNDER ONE MILLION AUTOMOBILES MANUFACTURED AND THERE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD ACCORDING TO HONDA. THE COMPANY'S RECALL STATEMENT SAYS, "WATER, RAIN, OR OTHER LIQUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S WINDOW AND REACH THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH, RESULTING IN IMPAIRED FUNCTION OF THE SWITCH...SWITCH IS DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE LIQUID INTRUSION, IT MAY RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE SWITCH AND OVERHEATING...AN OVERHEATING SWITCH MAY CAUSE SMOKE, MELTING OR, POTENTIALLY, FIRE." THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO A FIRE HAZARD WITH THE MASTER POWER SWITCH ON THE HONDA CR-VS. ALSO, [XXX], A HONDA SPOKESMAN, SAID ONE PERSON DIED IN SOUTH AFRICA IN A FIRE ATTRIBUTED TO THE PROBLEM. IT IS APPARENT HONDA STILL HAS NOT PROPERLY CORRECTED THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH ISSUE. PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE. HONDA'S ENGINEERS NEED TO RE-DESIGN THE SWITCH; IT'S HOUSING, AND REPLACE ALL POTENTIAL FAULTY MASTER SWITCHES TO ENSURE CONSUMERS SAFETY FROM FIRE/DEATH AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2006 HONDA CRV SINCE APRIL 2013 I HAVE GONE THROUGH 17 HEADLIGHT BULBS. THAT IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER HAD TO PUT IN ANY OF MY CARS. IF YOU TYPE IN TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH 2006 HEADLIGHTS YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT YOU AS A COMPANY WOULD WANT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR AT LEAST LOOK AT GETTING A FIX. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY AREA DEALER HE DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE INSTALL THEM THAT KNOW BETTER THAN TO TOUCH THE BULB AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THEY WON'T INSTALL THEM FOR ME ANYMORE. THEY ARE WORRIED THAT IT MAY CAME BACK TO THEM. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL AT LEAST GIVE ME A THOUGHT AS TO LOOK AT YOUR COMPUTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH HEADLIGHTS LIKE CRAZY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. APPROX. EVERY TWO MONTHS EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE GOES WITHOUT WARNING. MOST RECENTLY I DECIDED TO INSTALL HIGHER END BULBS THINKING THAT MAYBE THE LITTLE 8.00 DOLLAR ONES WERE THE PROBLEM. WRONG! I PUT A SET OF 50.00 BULBS IN EACH SIDE AT THE SAME TIME AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT! I DRIVE ON VERY DARK RURAL ROADS AT NIGHT COMING HOME FROM WORK AND IF BOTH OF THESE LIGHTS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME I COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE PULLED OUR HONDA CRV 2011 INTO A PARKING LOT AT BONEFISH GRILL IN CANTON OHIO ON NOVEMBER 30, 2014. MY MOTHER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE ACCELERATOR MOVED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR COULD NOT BE STOPPED BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. WE ENDED UP RUNNING INTO A CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF US THEN A CAR TO THE LEFT OF US AND THEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY STOPPED WHEN WE RAN INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER CAR PARKED IN THE LOT WHERE IT FINALLY CAME TO REST. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND WE WERE NOT INJURED. WE WERE VERY SCARED AND THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE 3 OTHER CARS AS WELL AS OUR OWN. WE HAVE READ ONLINE THE STORIES OF OTHERS THAT HAD VERY SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. WE DO NOT PLAN ON EVER GETTING IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN AND WILL NOT TRUST ANY VEHICLE THAT HONDA BUILDS AS WELL. THIS INCIDENT LUCKILY HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN INTERSECTION WE OR SOMEONE ELSE WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY. IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE STORIES THAT WE HAVE READ THAT HONDA IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND BLAMING IT ON DRIVER ERROR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND HONDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND DISHONESTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PARKED MY 2009 HONDA CRV IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I PUT IT ON A CHARGER, AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO CHECK IT 2 HOURS LATER I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS OF OFF. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE BATTERY WAS STILL DEAD, BUT THE LIGHTS STILL ON. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THERE SEEM TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY WOULD THE LIGHTS GO ON,. ON THEIR OWN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TO BLINK AND THEN BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. WE HAD TO DRIVE 6 MILES HOME WITH ONLY HIGH BEAMS WORKING. HAD HEAD LIGHTS AND BATTERY REPLACED AND WORKED UNTIL DEC, 14,2014. AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT AT 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS DIMMED, DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AND THEN BOTH LOW BEAMS WENT OUT. AGAIN HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS ONLY. AFTER HAVING THE LOW BEAMS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME ALL GAUGES FAILED-GAS GAUGE, ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING ALL GAUGES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME WHEN HEADLIGHTS BLOW AND FOR OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AS I NEED TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ HONDA HAS RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS OF THE CRV FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT ON 2005. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START ON THE FIRST COLD DAY OF THE SEASON. WHEN CHECKING THE VOLTAGE ON THE BATTERY, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS CORROSION ON THE POSITIVE CONNECTION. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ORIGINAL CLAMP HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH AN AFTER-MARKET CLAMP. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED CORROSION BACK THROUGH THE CABLE ITSELF WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW CUTTING THE AFFECTED CABLE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SHORT TO REACH THE BATTERY. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
SIRS WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 DOCUMENTED TIMES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A DISTRACTIVE DRIVING ISSUE THAT INVOLVES THE IN DASH NAVIGATION SYSTEM, BLUETOOTH AND GPS PAIRING. AFTER 2 YEARS OF VISITS TO VALENCIA HONDA, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIXED. I HIRED THE LAW FIRM OF PARKER STANSBURY TO INITIATE A " LEMON LAW" PROTECTION BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1793.22. AMERICAN HONDA HAS RESPONDED AND DENIED MY REQUEST FOR REPURCHASE OR REPLACE THE DEFECTED UNIT OR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. SINCE THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES DISTRACTIVE DRIVING ISSUES, IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT ONLY PUTTING OUR SAFETY AT RISK BUT THE SAFETY OF ALL OTHER 2012 HONDA CR-V OWNERS AT RISK THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECTIVE NAVIGATION SOFTWARE. THE ARROGANCE OF AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. I WILL BE REQUESTING AN ARBITRATION HEARING WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE OUR CONCERNS ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY CONCERN. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER THE HEADLIGHT BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT NO LONGER LIGHTS. THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW, THE OLD BULB IS COMPLETELY INTACT (FILAMENT AS WELL AS GLASS- NO BURNED MARKS AT ALL), AND THE FUSES ARE NOT BLOWN. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND IN FACT HONDA HAS RECALLED 550,000 PREVIOUS PILOT AND CR-V MODELS FOR THIS FAILURE. SEEMS THE WIRING HARNESS IS TOO SHORT, AND DISCONNECTS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE, AND IS NOT DUE TO OWNER ERROR. THANK YOU. *TR

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
NEW CAR, OWNED FOR 3 WEEKS,700 MILES ON CAR. I EXPRESSED CONCERN AT TIME OF PURCHASE DUE TO DISCOMFORT OF HEADREST. I AM 5'3". I WAS TOLD TO RECLINE THE SEAT MORE, HOWEVER NO POSITION SEEMS TO HELP. I HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING NECK PAIN NOW AFTER COMMUTING 2 HOURS DAILY AND HAD NONE IN MY 2002 MODEL CAR THE HEAD REST/ HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD, THERE IS NO POSITION IN WHICH ANATOMICAL POSTURE CAN BE ACHIEVED. IN ORDER TO BE COMFORTABLE I EITHER SIT AWAY FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT WITH ESSENTIALLY NO BACK SUPPORT, SIT SIDEWAYS ON THE SEAT SO MY HEAD CAN CLEAR TO THE SIDE OF THE NECK RESTRAINT OR TURN THE HEAD REST AROUND. THIS HOWEVER IS ALSO UNSAFE. NOTABLY WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR, THE HEADREST WAS TURNED AROUND BACKWARDS AS WELL, SUGGESTING THAT THE DELIVERY DRIVER, THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO DROVE IT, AND A DEALER EMPLOYEE, ALSO FOUND IT INTOLERABLE. SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD NOT IMPEDE UPON PROPER BIOMECHANICS, AS THIS CAN ACTUALLY CREATE LESS SAFE SITUATIONS . IT SEEMS TO BE DESIGNED FOR A CULTURE OF PEOPLE WHO SLOUCH WHILE THEY DRIVE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IF IT WERE A WORKPLACE SEAT (WHICH IT IS WHEN I USE THE VEHICLE FOR WORK RELATED DRIVING), IT WOULD BE AN OSHA VIOLATION FOR PROPER ERGONOMICS. NO ONE WOULD TOLERATE THIS IF IT WERE ANY OTHER TYPE OF SEAT. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY ALLOWING FOR SHORTER MEN AND WOMEN TO USE A DIFFERENT HEADREST THAT NEEDS TO BE SUPPLIED TO DEALERS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON 91 NORTH, EXIT 14 IN WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA ON THE ROAD THAT LEAD TO THE MASS TURNPIKE. THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC DUE TO IMPENDING SNOWSTORM THE NEXT DAY AND THANKSGIVING. A CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME SLOWED AND PUT HIS RIGHT DIRECTIONAL ON. I SLOWED TO ALLOW HIM INTO MY LANE. HE THEN CHANGED HIS MIND, CANCELED HIS DIRECTIONAL AND PROCEEDED ON TOWARD RT. 5. FOR AN INSTANT, I GLANCED DOWN AT MY LAP AND WHEN I LOOKED UP THE ROW OF CARS IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S BAG. I HAD NO PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. *TR
