FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY HONDA CRV HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION ON ACCELERATION THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE COMPUTER SAFETY FEATURE THAT KEEPS THE ENGINE FROM ACCELERATING OR RUNNING AWAY WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIS FEATURE HAS A FEW SECOND DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN ROADS WHERE YOU NEED TO TOUCH THE BRAKES AND THEN ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SONS HONDA, MCDONOUGH, GA TWICE AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO ANSWER ON HOW TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HONDA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT HEAD ANYTHING FROM THEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD. THE GREEN LIGHT IN THE BATTERY- IS GREEN SHOWING FULLY CHARGED, BUT IT WON'T TURN THE MOTOR OVER. IT APPEARS IT IS UNDER CHARGED, HAVE BEEN STALLED 6-8 TIMES. I HAVE TO CARRY A JUMP BATTERY NOW. FOUND OUT HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN 12-041 ON THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED, TOO MANY PEOPLE GETTING STRANDED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA CR-V NEW ON FEBRUARY 8, 2013. TODAY THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. BECAUSE OF A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS ON PREVIOUSLY OWNED CR-VS, I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT'S AHEAD WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR. I HAVE OWNED A NEW 1997 CRV, AND A NEW 2006 CRV. IN BOTH PREVIOUS VEHICLES, WHICH WERE PURCHASED NEW AND TRADED WITH OVER 250K MILES ON EACH, I HAD RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOING OUT, OFTEN ONE WITHIN DAYS OF THE OTHER, AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2006 CRV, EVERY 3 TO 4 MONTHS. I WENT TO SEVERAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE WAS RECALL OR PERSISTENT PROBLEM. I COMMUTE 120 MILES ROUNDTRIP DAILY FOR WORK, AND I WORK IN A RURAL AREA, COVERING 6 VERY RURAL COUNTIES. SOMETIMES MY HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON DARK, 2 LANE RURAL HIGHWAYS. IN THE 2006 VEHICLE, MY HEADLIGHTS WERE GOING OUT SO FREQUENTLY THAT I STARTED BUYING 2 BULBS AT A TIME SO THAT I ALWAYS HAD A BACK UP BULB. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT HONDA HAS APPARENTLY AVOIDED FIXING OVER THE YEARS. I AM AWARE OF THE OWNER BLOGS FOR CRV-S WHERE MANY HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I HAVE PUT FAMILY MEMBERS ON NOTICE THAT IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY CAR AT NIGHT AND CANNOT SPEAK FOR MYSELF, THEY SHOULD PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHETHER MY HEADLIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, ON THIS 2013 CRV, NEITHER THE LOW BEAM NOR THE HIGH BEAM HEAD LIGHTS SEEM BRIGHT ENOUGH AT NIGHT. ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE CR-V OTHERWISE, BECAUSE OF THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS THAT I BELIEVE HONDA IS AWARE OF AND HAS CHOSEN NOT TO REPAIR, THIS WILL VERY LIKELY BE THE LAST HONDA THAT I PURCHASE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THERE IS EVENTUALLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MADE LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND A/C STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN GRID LOCK TRAFFIC THE CAR DOES NOT WORK AND I CAN NOT BYPASS THE AC ( THIS IS NOT AN OPINION ON THIS CAR ). SO THE AC IN STANDARD EQUIPMENT. HONDA OF AMERICA SETTLES A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR THIS CAR MODEL. HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT HELP ME GET MY CAR UP AND RUNNING WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR A REPAIR THAT IS DUE TO A BAD DESIGN BY THEY MANUFACTURER. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED AND THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO GET TO MY DOCTOR AND WORK. *TR

I JUST REPLACE THE BATTERY 07/26/2013 I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR ONTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THEY KEEP IT OVERNIGHT AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP AFTER 5 DAYS IT WILL STALL AGAIN, I AM TRYING TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER IN DIAMOND HONDA GLENDALE AND THEY SAID MANAGER IS ON VACATION. I CALLED CORPORATE OVER HONDA IN TORRANCE CA. ACCORDING TO THE CASE MANAGER WHO WILL HANDLING MY CASE THEY WILL DO FURTHER INVESTIGATION. IN MY EXPERIENCE I HAVE NEVER BEEN NEGLECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECK ON THE SYSTEM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. BUT I KEEP TELLING THEM TO CHECK IT CAREFULLY WHAT IF SOMETHING I GOT INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT. WOULD I JUST BE A PART OF NHTSA STATISTICS WHEN FATALITY RESULTS. MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND MY IMPRESSION I HAVE THE CAR MAYBE IT IS THE CAR ITSELF. IT WILL NOT SHOW YET IN THE SYSTEM, BECAUSE I AM NOT YET FILLING A FORMAL COMPLAIN. I AM ADDRESSING YOU THIS ISSUES DUE TO PREVENT FURTHER ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. I CANT BATTLE THIS DEALERSHIP BY MYSELF I JUST NEED YOU HELPED AND LETTING THEM KNOW OR HONDA CORPORATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN MY CAR. THANK YOU *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
REAR RIGHT DOOR LOCKS ITSELF APPROXIMATELY 1/2 SECOND AFTER UNLOCKING, WHETHER VIA ELECTRIC SWITCH OR BY MANUALLY PUSHING THE UNLOCK LEVER. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS EGRESS IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY A PRECISELY-TIMED, TWO-STEP PROCESS: UNLOCK THE DOOR AND RAPIDLY ACTUATE THE DOOR HANDLE. THE COMPONENT DOES NOT FAIL-SAFE; IT FAILS INTO AN UNSAFE MODE. *TR

ALL DOORS ARE LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED. ON OCCASION, AFTER LOCKING, THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK NOR ALLOW MANUAL OVERRIDE OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO UNLOCK IT - THE DRIVER HAS HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE CAR TO LOCATE A DOOR THAT COULD BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON AUGUST 8, 2014 MY CR-V WOULD NOT START. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY CAME AND JUMPED THE BATTERY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN ON THE BATTERY AND BOTH THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE CHARGING. ON AUGUST 19, 2014, MY CR-V WOULD NOT START FOR THE 2ND TIME. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE BATTERY,STARTER AND ALTERNATOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DONE, ALL WERE CHARGING AND WORKING WITHOUT INCIDENT.THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BATTERY CABLES WERE LOOSE, SO HE TIGHTENED THEM. ON AUGUST 23, 2014 MY CR-V WOULD NOT START FOR THE 3RD TIME. I AM COMPLETELY AT A LOSS AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE HAD ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. IT LOST ITS ABS AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL. IT DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO US SINCE THE ROAD WAS NOT THAT CROWDED. AFTER THAT WE ALWAYS HAD TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE. GOT INSPECTED AT HONDA SHOWROOM AND THEY FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY MODULATOR WAS NOT WORKING AND IT WOULD COST $2000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

I ALSO HAVE A HONDA CRV 2008. THE LEFT REAR DOOR STARTED UNLOCKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. I USED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH THE DOORS AND THE LOCKING MECHANISM A BIT AND FINALLY GET IT TO STAY LOCKED. HOWEVER, SINCE IT FIRST STARTED, IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW IS NOT LOCKING AT ALL WHICH PRESENTS BOTH A SAFETY AND SECURITY RISK. I SPOKE WITH HONDA AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS SAFETY/SECURITY ISSUE. HOWEVER FINDLAW.COM SAYS THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2012 CRVS AND ACURA ILXS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY IT WAS NOT EXTENDED TO ALL CRVS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES
LEAVING FOR 4 HOUR VACATION DRIVE; AS WE WERE ABOUT 60 MILES FROM HOME THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LOW-TIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF AT A SAFE SPOT, EXAMINE THE TIRES, CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE VACATION ENDED THERE AS WE TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE. THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE DAY ONE! ORIGINALLY I SUSPECTED THE PRE-DELIVERY TIRE CHECK AND CALIBRATION WAS MISSED SO I PERFORMED IT MYSELF. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO HONDA WHO FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE CONDITION STATING WE ARE WORKING ON A RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER 12/2013. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE UNTIL I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE AND CALLED HONDA USA AGAIN WHO MAGICALLY SAID WE HAVE A FIX. BACK TO DEALER WHO INSTALLED A VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS 6/2014. LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN 8/19/2014 AS STATED ABOVE. CALLED HONDA USA, TOOK TO DEALER TODAY FOR VSA REPAIR KIT FIT USA 13-040. THIS SEEMS FISHY AS IT IS A REPAIR KIT FOR A HONDA FIT NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR A CRV. TIME WILL TELL BUT WE CAN NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AS I AM HANDICAPPED! *TR

SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN 2012, HAVE A BATTERY PROBLEM FOR WHICH A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN CREATED INTERNALLY WITHIN HONDA. HOWEVER, THE COMMUNICATION WAS NEVER SENT TO THE OWNERS, AN ONLINE QUERY DOES NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. DUE THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION, THE OWNERS HAD TO CARRY A PORTABLE JUMP STATION TO GET THE CAR STARTED EVERYTIME THE BATTERY DIED. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE CAR'S AUTO-LOCK SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE CAR DOORS WHEN DRIVING. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE DOORS STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK ITSELF. SO, WHENEVER THE CAR IS STATIONARY (I.E. STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN) AND THEN GOES INTO DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK BUT THEN THE ONE DOOR WILL UNLOCK. EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF, THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED THEREBY POSING A BIG RISK IN AN EVENT OF SOMEONE TRYING TO ENTER INTO THE CAR OR STEAL SOMETHING. *TR

AT TIMES PASSENGER FRONT DOOR LOCKS CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED. AT OTHER TIMES LOCK WILL RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK DURING WHICH DOOR CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED. THIS CREATES UNSAFE CONDITIONS WHERE DOOR CAN NOT BE LOCKED AT TIMES OR UNLOCKED AT TIMES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. *TR
