ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE REAR RIGHT SIDE DOOR WORKS THE OPPOSITE OF THE OTHER DOORS, WITH SWITCHING THE GEAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK, WITH THE REMOTE, OR USING THE DRIVERS SIDE BUTTON. ALL THREE DOORS WILL UNLOCK BUT THE REAR RIGHT SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS AND THEN LOCKS BACK UP AGAIN. AND WHEN I LOCK ALL THE DOORS THE REAR RIGHT SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS, WHICH MAKES IT UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AND KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT OR WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OVERNIGHT (VEHICLE MILEAGE 74,600). PLEASE HELP. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR HESITATES RANDOMLY FROM DEAD STOP. STARTS OFF AT ABOUT 2 MPH AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL 5 TO 10 SECONDS EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. HONDA HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE RANDOM OCCURRENCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 20 TIMES. DOES NOT SHOW UP ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. REPLACED 2014 CR-V AFTER 10 WEEKS WITH 2015 CR-V. 2015 MODEL HAS DIFFERENT ISSUES. NO MORE HONDAS!!! TOOK A BIG FINANCIAL HIT ON REPLACING A 2014 CR-V AFTER 10 WEEKS WITH A 2015 CR-V. CAR TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB I NOTICED THE ELEMENT WAS NOT BROKEN INSIDE THE BULB. AT THAT POINT I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE BULB FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND PUT IT INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND TOOK THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND PUT IT INTO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. HE DID NOT REPLACE EITHER BULB. THIS APPEARED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE BRIGHT WHEN TURNED ON. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IN THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER, AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE, THE BULB WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE BUT NOT SHINING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY THE SAME MEANS AS BEFORE (SWITCHING LIGHT BULBS) OR BY REPLACING THEM WITH NEW BULBS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WHICH IS GOING TO COST $1600. *TR

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINS ON. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS DEFECTIVE SRS CONTROL MODULE. DEALER SAYS THIS PART OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. A CALL TO HONDA'S 800 NUMBER RESULTED IN THE SAME CONCLUSION AND NO MONETARY ASSISTANCE COULD BE OFFERED FOR A REPAIR THAT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1000.00. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, PERIODICALLY, WHILE DRIVING (30-45MPH) WE WOULD HEAR AN UNUSUAL WHIRLING NOISE IN THE MOTOR; NOT HARSH BUT MORE A PURRING SOUND. THE NEXT TIME WE DROVE THE CAR WE WOULD NOT HEAR IT. IT CONTINUED BUT SPASMODICALLY. THEN IN NOVEMBER WE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE STARTING THE ENGINE. WE HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED BUT AGAIN, PERIODICALLY, BOTH THE WHIRLING NOISE AND NO ENGINE TURNOVER. YESTERDAY, AFTER MAKING A QUICK STOP BEFORE GOING TO WORK, WE HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK CO. WHO ALSO CHECKED THE BATTERY (NOW LESS THAN A MONTH OLD AND CHARGING PERFECTLY). WE ARE NOT CERTAIN OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NOISE AND THE FAILURE TO START. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CIRCA NOVEMBER 2011 THE DRIVER'S DOOR ACTUATOR ON MY 2005 HONDA CR/V FAILED. SUBSEQUENTLY TWO ADDITIONAL DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED. THE DEALER WANTS CIRCA $300 TO REPAIR EACH OF THESE ACTUATORS. I BELIEVE THESE ARE DESIGN FLAWS AND THAT HONDA SHOULD REPAIR/REPLACE THESE ACTUATORS ON AN EXTENDED/GOODWILL WARRANTY BASIS. *TR

ENGINE
DURING COLD WEATHER (WINTER) WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING THERE IS A ONE TIME GRINDING NOISE. THIS IS THE 2ND HONDA CRV THAT WE OWN THAT MAKES THIS SAME NOISE. WHEN I PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH I FIND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM MANY HONDA CRV OWNERS FROM MULTIPLE YEARS OF MANUFACTURE OF THE HONDA CRV. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THIS NOISE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL VALVE (VTC) AND THAT HONDA IS WORKING ON A PERMANENT SOLUTION. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF NOISE ISSUE AND SUPPOSEDLY WORKING ON A SOLUTION FOR AT LEAST 2 MODEL YEARS YET NO PERMANENT SOLUTION TO ISSUE HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT THIS TIME. HONDA IS CURRENTLY MANUFACTURING AND SELLING CRV'S TO CONSUMERS WITH A KNOWN ENGINE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE MADE TO EXTEND THE ENGINE WARRANTY UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS CORRECTED. *TR

ENGINE
DURING WINTER MONTHS AT FREEZING AND BELOW PART # 110153 VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL, VTC ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONS. AT THE FIRST START UP THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE (METAL UPON METAL). THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE ORIGINATING DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY IN CRV-S WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS AT OR FREEZING THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE ENGINE WON'T FREEZE UP NOR WILL THERE BE ANY DAMAGE TO THE POWER TRAIN? THE PART IN QUESTION IS UNABLE (AT LOW TEMPERATURES) TO PUSH OIL UP INTO THE ENGINE UPON INITIAL COLD START-UP IN THE MORNINGS . THIS WAS HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME BY THE DEALER. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS AT THE STORE WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART ON 11 NOVEMBER, 2014 (AND WITHIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS IT FAILED) I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO DO SO. I LIVED WITH THIS ALL OF LAST WINTER AND NOW THIS WINTER AS WELL OR SO IT APPEARS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON SEVERAL 2013 HONDA CR-V'S SOLD IN STATES WHERE THE CLIMATE IS FREEZING OR BELOW. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT A FIX WAS IN THE WORKS BY HONDA. WELL A FIX HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS NOW SINCE AT LEAST FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR 2014 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO CALL HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS. THE DEALER WIPED THEIR HANDS OF THE SITUATION. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE ( AND POSSIBLY CAUSE IT TO FREEZE UP WHILE ON THE ROAD) POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD/ACCIDENT. LAST, (AND LEAST OF ALL) WHEN I WANT TO SELL AND/OR TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE IT'S VALUE WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIMINISHED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT THAT I AM (BY LAW) REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE. FUNNY HOW THE DEALER KNEW THIS WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE CAR BUT NEVER DISCLOSED THE DEFECT TO ME! *TR

SEATS
THE HEADRESTS ARE TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY NEW CR-V. I'VE HAD TO PURCHASE A LUMBAR SUPPORT & NECK REST (PILLOW), IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE HORRIBLE DESIGN OF THE SEAT/HEADREST. IT'S TILTED TOO FAR FORWARD & IF I ATTEMPT TO REST MY BACK INTO THE SEAT, MY HEAD IS BENT FORWARD. NO ADJUSTMENT IS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM; IT ONLY GOES UP & DOWN. THE CHEVY TRAVERSE (WHICH I RENTED A FEW MONTHS AGO) HAS A PERFECT HEADREST. I WAS ABLE TO ADJUST IT UP/DOWN & BACKWARD/FORWARD! *TR
