ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I BUMPED MY KEYS LIGHTLY WITH MY RIGHT KNEE CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SWITCH OFF, AND MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE FREEWAY TO A STOP AT AN EXIT, AND RESTART MY CAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR SWITCHES OFF WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP TO THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT GM RECALL. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY 2007 HONDA CR-V, PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCK BY THE MAIN LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH, KEY FOB OR THE MANUAL TAB IN THE DOOR. WE HAVE TO BE VERY PRECISE IN UNLOCKING AND PULLING THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME. EVEN A SECOND DELAY COULD BRING THE BOOR BACK IN TO UNLOCK POSITION. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IN CASE OF FIRE OR ACCIDENT AS THE PASSENGER CAN NOT UNLOCK AND ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK IN TO IT. THANKS *TR

AIR BAGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS NEED REPLACEMENT AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER YEAR, SOMETIMES MORE. EVEN WHEN REPLACED WITH NEW BULBS, SOMETIMES THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LIGHT VARIES RANDOMLY. THE LAST TIME I HAD THE BULB REPLACED THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE NEW BULB WOULDN'T EVEN STAY LIT WHEN HE REPLACED IT. THERE ARE OTHER MODEL YEARS FOR THIS CAR WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS LOW BEAM BULB ISSUE. IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO RECALL THIS MODEL YEAR AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AT NIGHT ANYMORE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! ALSO, JUST WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MY SRS LIGHT IS RANDOMLY STAYING LIT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THESE ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE
I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND GOT GAS. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING BEFORE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AS ALWAYS. GOT IN AND STARTED THE CAR, TURNED ON THE A/C, AND IT BLEW HOT AIR. I KEPT TRYING IT ALL THE WAY HOME AND NOTHING BUT HOT AIR. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED A TICKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD WHEN IT WAS IDLING. MID SUMMER, BUT NO MONEY TO BRING IT IN. ONE MONTH LATER THE TICKING UNDER THE HOOD GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A FREE A/C CHECK. TURNS OUT THE WHOLE A/C SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (ESTIMATE $1000) COMPRESSOR W/CLUTCH, ORIFICE TUBE, RECEIVER/DRYER, AND RE-CHARGE. THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. TICKING COULD BE CAUSED BY ALL OF THIS, OR LOOSE VALVES, EXHAUST MANIFOLD, ETC... CONTACTING HONDA, TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO... *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING, SEAT BELTS
2002 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS . *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WOULD ALWAYS PUT THE KEYS IN THE SEAT, WHILE AT THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY IF THEY KEYS WERE IN THE VEHICLE, BUT NOT IN THE IGNITION. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS LOCKED OUT SEVERAL TIMES, JUST BY LAYING THE KEYS DOWN. THERE WAS NO SIGNAL OR ALERT THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON, AS SHE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT THEM ON. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD NEVER COME ON, WHEN SHE OPENED THE DOOR, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED, THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, REGARDING THE ISSUE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $100 DIAGNOSIS FEE, TO DETERMINE, WHY THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. *JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP THE NEW CR-V IT HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC OR AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY, 3-4 TIMES A DAY. I WILL BE MOVING AT A MODERATE SPEED, 15 TO 40 MPH, AND WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR GENTLY, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN!! IF I PRESS HARDER, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT ACCELERATES RAPIDLY! THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER 10608235 BUT OCCURS ONLY WHEN I AM ALREADY MOVING. I'VE TAKEN THE CRV TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND THEY TEST DRIVE IT BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN SO THEY SAY IT MUST BE "NORMAL". IT ISN'T. IT'S DANGEROUS! SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS HOW THIS VEHICLE WORKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOORLOCKS ARE HAVING A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. THE DOORS BEGAN UNLOCKING THEMSELVES SHORTLY AFTER LOCKING THEM. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WON'T STAY LOCKED, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR IS FROZEN IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND THE DOOR IS UNUSABLE, THE DRIVER REAR DOOR STAYS IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION, AND THE REAR HATCH WON'T UNLOCK; THEREFORE, IT WON'T OPEN. AT THIS POINT, TWO OF MY DOORS WON'T OPEN AND THE LOCKS CONTINUOUSLY TRY LOCKING OVER AND OVER AS I DRIVE UNDER APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. AS I SEARCH THE INTERNET I SEE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT MY FEAR IS MY FAMILY GETTING TRAPPED IN THIS CAR IF THE LOCKS SEIZE AND WON'T ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT FOR SOMEONE TO STEP UP AND TAKE NOTICE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY 2006 CRV IN 2010. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES. I DO NOT HAVE EXACT DATES, NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL JULY 2014 WHEN I HAD MY MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOUND THERE TO BE A SHORT IN THE WIRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT ALMOST ONE MILLION CRV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED SINCE 2002 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE/RESOLUTION CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE EXACT SAME ONE ALL OF THE RECALLED CRV'S HAVE. HONDA WOULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE ALREADY HAD BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE DARK ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ALTHOUGH IT IS COMMONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BULB THAT BURNS OUT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER NOT KNOWING MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AND I AM TOLD THE COST OF THE REPAIR WILL BE OVER $300. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CRV'S WITH THE SAME DEFECT, I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE BEFORE I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF LOSING MY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WANT TO REPORT THE SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFICIENCY IN THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR NEWLY PURCHASED '14 HONDA CRV. ON LOW BEAM, THE RANGE OF LIGHTING IS LIMITED TO DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFINED CUT-OFF LINE. ON HIGH BEAM, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND REPORTED THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND WAS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY INDICATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FIXED AND THAT IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS GOING TO RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF NOT RESOLVED SOON. *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER STARTING THE CAR I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, TOOK OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A HIGH SPEED AS IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, AND WOULD NOT STOP WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I THREW THE GEAR INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN SEPTEMBER 2009 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY. AT THAT TIME THE BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR, SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. IN SEPTEMBER 2009 I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BRING THE CAR IN, THAT I MUST HAVE HAD THE MAT JAMMED ON TOP OF THE GAS PEDAL. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE TODAY OR IN 2009. THIS ISBA DEADLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND PUT OUT AN ALERT ON TV TO ALL CAR OWNERS THAT IF THEIR CAR SHOULD GET STUCK IN ACCELERATION MODE THEY SHOULD PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE DIAGNOSED BY HONDA AS THE TRANSMISSION PUMP. CAR HAD ONLY 79,000 MILES AND WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AND ALL FLUIDS ARE CHANGED REGULARLY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FIXED ELSEWHERE FOR HALF THE PRICE HONDA WANTED. I N,EVER HEARD OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. *TR
