ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JUST LIKE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S DOOR LOCK UNLOCKED BY ITSELF OR JUST SIMPLY WON'T LOCK AT ALL. IT COSTS OVER 200 BUCKS TO FIX IT AND THEY WON'T FIX IT FOR FREE...AFTER ALL, IT'S A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. NO WONDER MY SISTER SAID: "NEVER, NEVER AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA!!!" *TR

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ALONG ,THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE LIKE AN AIRPLANE ,I PULLED OVER ,THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE JOB INVOLVED REPLACING THE COMPRESSOR,THE CONDENSER,RECEIVER/DRYER,EXPANSION VALVE, CONTAMINATED DRIVE BELT, COMPLETE FLUSH OF THE SYSTEM, EVACUATION AND RECHARGE OF SYSTEM. QUITE A COSTLY REPAIR AT $2737.02 THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS ISSUE, AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE,UNLESS IT HAD HAPPENED AT SPEED ON A BUSY FREEWAY , IT WAS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT, THAT SO MANY CRV OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN COLD (50 DEGREES F OR LOWER) OR FALLING TEMPERATURES, WITH A COLD ENGINE (NOT RUN FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS), I HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A CRANKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AFTER THE ENGINE STARTS. THE CRANKING SOUND LASTS LESS THAN A SECOND AND SOUNDS LIKE SEVERE VIBRATION OF A PART WITH SCREWS/COMPONENTS THAT HAVE COME LOOSE. I'VE RECORDED THE SOUND AND HAVE THE FILE AVAILABLE. THE SOUND DOES NOT OCCUR WITH A WARM ENGINE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ONGOING PROBLEM FROM WHEN I PURCHASED THE CR-V IN 2010. MANY TIMES WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THERE IS AN LOUD, AUDIBLE CLUNKING AS THE GEARS GRIND. I'VE BEEN PARKED NEXT TO OTHER CR-V'S AND NOTICED THE SAME NOISE AS THE CR-V IS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO THE DOORS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND I HAD TO HAVE THE LOCK MECHANISMS ON ALL 4 PASSENGER DOORS REPLACED. LASTLY THERE IS AN ANNOYING WHISTLING NOISE IN THE DUCT WORK FOR THE HEAT AND A/C. I HAVE TO KEEP THE RECYCLE BUTTON ON TO SOMEWHAT DIMINISH IT.

SEATS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE BROUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV AWD LX MODEL FROM HONDA DEALER IN NJ. FROM THE DAY ONE, I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION ON THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN/SIGNAL WITH CAR IN THE DRIVE MODE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL 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 DRIVE YOU GET DISTRACTED AND FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SHOWED IT TO THEIR TECHNICIAN ON 24TH NOV 14. THE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR TEST DRIVE AND CALLED ME AFTER AN HOUR TO SHARE HIS CONCLUSION. DEALER TOOK ANOTHER BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CRV AND FOUND THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLE. ALSO, BASED ON THE TESTING THE DEALER CONCLUDED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS THERE IN ALL NEW HONDA CRV 2015. THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE HELPLESS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA(ALL THESE DETAILS HE GAVE ME IN THE SERVICE DOCUMENT). I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA(NOT ONE TIME BUT SEVERAL TIMES), THEY GAVE ME THE CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE ISSUE. I TOLD THEM THAT I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIND THE ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE. I GOT A CALL FROM SOME MR MOHAMMAD(CASE MANAGER) WHO REPRESENTED HIMSELF AS RM FOR NJ AREA. WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING HE CLOSED MY CASE, I CALLED AGAIN AND ASKED THEM TO OPEN THE CASE. MR MOHAMMED CALLED ME AGAIN AND TOLD ME THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC OF HONDA CRV(VIBRATION ISSUE) I MEAN HE TOLD VIBRATION IS A DESIGNED FUNCTIONALLY AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS LIKE ALL OTHER USERS ARE LIVING. I SAID TO PROVIDE THE EMAIL OR PHONE OF MANAGEMENT SO AS TO TALK TO THEM BUT HE DID NOT PROVIDE ME THE INFORMATION AND CLOSED MY CASE WITHOUT MY CONSENSUS AND SAID WE ARE HELPLESS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINE CRANKED BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO SERVICE STATION. ANALYZED AND FIXED BY SHORTING BATTERY CABLES. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT NO REPAIR WAS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. CALLED A "GLITCH" IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, A REAR END COLLISION COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OTHER SYSTEMS ON THE CAR LIKE AIRBAGS ETC. WERE INOPERATIVE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS BURN OUT EVERY 5-7 WEEKS, ESPECIALLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH CONSTANT ROAD HAZARDS SUCH AS DEER, WINDING UNLIT ROADS AND ICY PATCHES. WHEN THE HEADLAMP BLOWS IT CREATES A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE ONE LIGHT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAFELY AVOID THE NUMEROUS HAZARDS I FACE ON A DAILY BASIS. I RETURN HOME FROM WORK AFTER DARK AND AM NEVER SURE IF MY LIGHTS WILL MAKE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMUTE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM 2006 HONDA CRV OWNERS AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. *JS
