EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT BURNS OUT WITHIN 5 MONTHS OF REPLACING THE BULB. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 BULBS ALREADY. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSING THIS. THE FUSES ARE OKAY AND CORRECT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WITH GREATER EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE MY LAST REPORT, I AM WRITING TO REITERATE HOW EXTREMELY DEFICIENT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE. IN UNLIT, RURAL AREAS, THE LOW BEAMS ARE INADEQUATE AND REQUIRE THE USE OF FOG LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME FOR INCREASED ILLUMINATION. WHEN THE HIGH-BEAMS ARE ENGAGED (FOG-LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY GO OUT), NEAR-FIELD ILLUMINATION VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARS. I HAVE WRITTEN DIRECTLY TO THE CEO OF AMERICAN HONDA, AND INCLUDED PRINT-OUTS OF NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS CONCERN WHICH ARE WIDELY POSTED ON THE INTERNET. I SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. INSTRUCTING ME TO TAKE THIS UP WITH A DEALER. I HAVE NOW DONE SO AND THE DEALER REPORTS THIS PERFORMANCE IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS CAR. I IMPLORE YOUR AGENCY TO UNDERTAKE AN INVESTIGATION SO THAT TRAGEDIES TO NOT HAVE TO OCCUR FIRST BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN BY THE COMPANY. IN THE MEANTIME, I FIND MYSELF ADJUSTING TRAVEL PLANS AND DRIVING TIMES FOR THE SAKE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCK FOR THE BACK DOOR OF OUR VEHICLE KEEPS SLOWLY UNLOCKING AFTER WE ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN WE USE THE FOB OR WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT (OR SUITS) AGAINST HONDA FOR THIS. *TR

STEERING
THE 2008 HONDA CRV HAS ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. ~3 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR, I WAS TOLD BY HONDA EXPRESS SERVICE THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW WHEN I WAS DOING OIL CHANGE. BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T IDENTIFY A LEAK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 6 YEARS OLD, THE LEAK FINALLY SHOWED UP, AND THE WHOLE RACK&PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE, THE FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. THE SLOW LEAK DOESN'T SHOW UP TILL A CERTAIN AMOUNT HAS BEEN GATHERED, WHICH MAKES IT A FIRE HAZARD NOT EASY TO IDENTIFY. DEALER SAYS IT'S A COMMON ISSUE, BUT HONDA NEVER ADMITTED IT, NOT TO SAY A RECALL ON THE PROBLEMATIC SEAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AT 2 YEARS, AFTER 19,000 MILES OF NORMAL SUBURBAN DRIVING, LOUD GRATING AND CLUNKING NOISES AND REPETITIVE VIBRATIONS CAME FROM THE BRAKES WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED [3-5 MPH] AND BECAME LOUDER WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. DEALER SAID ROTORS SEVERELY RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED [OEM] FOR $1,000. SAID RESURFACING COULD NOT BE DONE DUE TO SEVERITY OF RUST. 30 DAYS LATER SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED [OEM]. NOW 12 MONTHS LATER AGAIN HAVE RUSTY BRAKE ROTORS WITH HARSH GRATING AND CLUNKING NOISES. CAR IS ROUTINELY PARKED IN LARGE GARAGE IN HIGH-RISE APARTMENT BUILDING MORE THAN 99% OF NIGHTS. THIS MAKES THREE FULL SETS OF FOUR ROTORS AFTER 19,000 MILES. DEALER ASKS IF I PARK IN DAMP LOCATION, BUT THE SECOND FLOOR GARAGE IS NEVER DAMP AND NOT NEAR WINDOW. DEALER SAYS HE HAS NO IDEA; MAYBE CHINESE USE BOGUS MATERIALS. BUT THESE ARE HONDA OEM. BRAKE ROTORS SHOULD CERTAINLY LAST MORE THAN 19,000 MILES [FIRST EPISODE] AND THREE FULL SETS SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 28,000 MILES AND 38 MONTHS. BRAKE ROTORS THAT RUST SO QUICKLY WHEN NOT ABUSED AND ARE SO DAMAGED THAT RESURFACING IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE MUST SURELY BE CONSIDERED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE ROTORS BECOME THIS THIN THIS FAST, THE BRAKES MAY VERY WELL FRACTURE DURING EMERGENCY BRAKING. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ISSUES - UNABLE TO LOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR USING ALL AVAILABLE METHODS, I.E. ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK, INSIDE MANUAL DOOR LOCK OR OUTSIDE KEY LOCK. SIGNIFICANTLY, WHEN DOOR LOCK ISSUES OCCUR IT POSES A SAFETY RISK TO THE OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING FEATURES FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. IN MY PARTICULAR CASE THE DOOR DID NOT LOCK AT ANY TIME, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON OR OFF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE AUGUST 3, 2007. ONLY SUPERIOR HONDA AND JEFF WYLER HONDA HAS SERVICED MY CAR. JULY, 1, 2014 THE STARTER MADE A CLICKING NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING. JEFF WYLER JUST GAVE ME A STATEMENT FROM HONDA CORPORATION OFFICE STATING THAT IF A CUSTOMER COMPLAINS ABOUT A CLICKING NOISE DO NOT BOTHER TO FIX IT. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO IT IS A QUIRK WITH THE STARTER RELAY SYSTEM. JUST TELL THEM TO TURN THE KEY FASTER. I HAVE TURNED MY KEY THE SAME WAY FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SOUND. IF THIS IS A "KNOWN" QUIRK SINCE 2001 THEN WHY DON'T THEY GET AN ENGINEER TO DESIGN A NEW STARTER. I AM SURE THE STARTER IS GOING BAD IN THE CAR. IT NEVER DID THIS BEFORE, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT PERFORMANCE HONDA WHICH I TOOK IT TO AT THE ADVICE OF THE CASE MANAGER AT HONDA CORPORATION TOLD ME HE COULD MAKE ALL THE HONDAS ON HIS LOT MAKE THE SAME SOUND. GOD FORBID IF YOU HAD A DISABILITY AND COULD NOT TURN YOUR KEY FAST ENOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER GET YOUR CAR STARTED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IF THEY REPLACE MY STARTER THEY TELL ME IT WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT WHY DID THIS ONLY START HAPPENING NOW? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR MORE THAN 15 MILES FROM HOME. I WANT TO VISIT MY DAUGHTER IN FLORIDA WHO IS IN THE NAVY, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR THAT FAR. *JS

WHEELS
SAID HONDA CR-V PURCHASED 05/22/14 AT PORT CHARLOTTE HONDA AND WAS TRADED IN ABOUT 2 HOURS PRIOR TO PURCHASE.OUR 2007 LINCOLN TOWN CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY SOLD PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP. WE WANTED TO DRIVE OUR LINCOLN BACK HOME & LEAVE THE HONDA FOR SAFETY INSPECTION AND DETAILING PER OUR AGREEMENT WITH SALES PERSON (MIKE HOMER) AND FINANCE MANAGER (ERIC DANE). THEY INSISTED WE DRIVE THE HONDA HOME AND RETURN FOR THE SERVICES THE NEXT WEEK AS PROMISED. THE FRONT TIRES WERE VERY BALD BEING THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON IT IN 2011. WE INSISTED THAT AT THE LEAST THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES BE ROTATED SO THE BETTER (NOT EXACTLY TRUE) WERE ON THE FRONT SINCE IT WAS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. UPON RETURNING FOR SERVICE I TOLD MIKE AND ERIC I WASN'T AT ALL HAPPY WITH THE CONDITION OF THE 2 TIRES ON THE FRONT, IT WAS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ASSURED ME THE TIRES MET THE SPECS AND WERE SAFE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE TIRE SPECS WERE BETWEEN 2/32TH AND 4/32TH. THIS ISN'T A TRUE STATEMENT & I WAS TOLD BY THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER THEY COULDN'T SPEND ANY ADDITIONAL ON THE VEHICLE. BEING THE FIRST HONDA WE HAVE EVER PURCHASED IT WAS A MAJOR DECISION SWITCHING FROM FORD (WHICH WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT). ERIC SAID WE WOULD BE REAL HAPPY WITH THE HONDA CR-V WHICH WE ARE EXCEPT FOR THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. I'VE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS BUT THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITHOUT CHARGING US FOR THEM. I REFUSE TO PAY HUNDREDS FOR DOLLARS FOR TIRES THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE HONDA TO THE LOCAL BRIDGESTONE DEALERSHIP HERE IN CAPE CORAL FOR EVALUATION AND THE MEASUREMENT WAS 1/32 AND HE SAID HE WOULDN'T DRIVE 2 MILES ON THOSE DANGEROUS TIRES. THE LEFT DRIVER'S TIRE WAS FLAT EVERY MORNING SO WE ARE NOW ON A DONUT TIRE. WE NEEDED THIS ISSUED RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. UPDATED 05/7/2015*JS

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
COASTING AT 10 MPH AND NO PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, WHEN I GIVE THE CAR MODERATE GAS THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND UNLESS I ROCK THE ACCELERATOR OR ACCELERATE HARD. I NOW HAVE 6526 MILES ON THE CAR AND A SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM IS MORE PRONOUNCED. THE HONDA DEALERS STATEMENT IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER TO TELL IT TO DOWNSHIFT OR STAY IN PRESENT GEAR AND ACCELERATE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP AS A CODE. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR NEW OR LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVERS AND CONCEIVABLY CAUSE A DRIVER TO BE REAR ENDER OR HIT A CAR FROM BEHIND... *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO 10615142 FILED EARLIER. THE TPMS ON MY CR-V DOES NOT WORK. HONDA CAN NOT KEEP IT OPERATING EVEN AFTER 6-8 SHOP REPAIRS. WHILE THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS, I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THE "ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM". AND. THE "ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM". ARE ALSO INOPERABLE!!! THEY WOULD SEEM TO USE SAME "INPUTS" AS TPMS ???? THIS MAY BE FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS!!!

ENGINE
THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT ON THE 2013 I SAW POSTED WHICH IS..." THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING AND INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000. KMJ ..... ON MY 2012, IT HAS BEEN IN TO SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE- THEY REPLACED AN ACTUATOR FOR THE STARTER- BUT NOW ADMIT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT USUALLY OCCURS IN COLDER WEATHER AND IT IS A HECK OF A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING THAT CONTINUES AFTER THE KEY HAS BEEN RETURNED TO NORMAL.. FOR UP TO ABOUT 20 SECONDS. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ADMITS TO IT.. AND IS WORKING ON A FIX-- BUT THAT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO NOW- AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM WHAT TO DO... WE DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR TO START- AND WILL BE WORRIED MORE AS WINTER APPROACHES..THE PRIMARY REASON WE BUY HONDA'S TO BE DEPENDABLE. *TR

SRS LIGHT RECENTLY AND CURRENTLY REMAINS ON IN MY 2004 HONDA CRV. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AVALON HONDA NJ DEALER 2 TIMES AFTER SPEAKING TO THEM 3 TIMES, THEY PROCASTINATED TO OBTAIN THE PART. I WAS INFORMED THEY WILL GET IT SOON AND WILL COST ME $693.00. AFTER I PERFORMED A CONSUMER RESEARCH OF THE VEHICLE, THIS IS A HIGH SAFETY ALERT ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR HONDA TO ANNOUNCE TO THE PUBLIC FOR ROAD SAFETY AND CONSUMER SAFETY. THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY MONIES OUT OF THE POCKET AS THIS MAJOR SAFETY ITEM THAT SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, NOT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. THIS INCLUDES THERE LIFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE SRS INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE SEAT BELTS TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE SRS AND SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AS EXPECTED. THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND HONDA ADVISES WE NEED A NEW SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG AS SYSTEM HAS FAILED. HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THIS WITHOUT CHARGE OF OVER $1000. CAR HAS LESS THAN 100000 MILES ON IT, HOW CAN THE MANUFACTURER NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LIFETIME WARRANTY ON A SAFETY SYSTEM? SHOULDN'T THAT BE A FEDERAL REGULATION- THAT THE SAFETY SYSTEMS BE WARRANTIED FOR LIFE? HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER NOT STAND BEHIND ITS SAFETY SYSTEM? PER THE INTERNET, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE FOR OTHER MODELS WAS DONE, BUT DESPITE THE SIMILAR ISSUE, NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED ON THIS MODEL. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT NEEDS INVESTIGATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK EVERYTIME YOU UNLOCK THE DOORS. IT STARTED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER DOOR. TO UNLOCK DOORS YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY HIT UNLOCK BUTTON, THEN YOU HAVE HALF A SECOND TO GET DOOR OPEN BEFORE IT LOCKS AGAIN ON ITS OWN. THE WHOLE CAR BE UNLOCKED BUT YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE FRONT DOORS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD SOME KIND OF EMERGENCY, THE FRONT DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN LONG ENOUGH TO GET OUT. MY KIDS HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING OUT, SO I WON'T LET THEM SIT IN FRONT SEAT ANYMORE. HOPING THAT THE BACK DOORS DON'T START ACTING UP. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, I SEE THAT HONDA HAS HAD CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FILED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. ON ONE SITE IT SAYS THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS IN LATE 2012, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY THING ELSE ABOUT A RECALL. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF. IT TRIES TO RE-LOCK AND THEN OPENS. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS REPEATEDLY. I CANNOT LOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE ACTUATOR. THE REAR HATCHBACK DOOR ALSO WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN IT IS HOT (OVER 80 DEGREES). I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY CAR FIRST BEGAN AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING CONSTANTLY EVERY TIME I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL. A FEW WEEKS LATER I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS WERE NO LONGER LOCKING. I TRIED TO LOCK THEM MANUALLY BUT THEY AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. MY CAR IS STILL CONTINUING TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK EVERY TIME I SWITCH FROM THE BRAKE TO GAS PEDAL ONLY NOW IT MAKES A VERY LOUD, STARTLING BUZZ SOUND FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WITH EACH LOCK. THE ISSUES SEEM TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN NOT LOCKING AT ALL, LOCKING CONSTANTLY, AND BUZZING LOUDLY WITH EACH LOCK EACH TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT THE CHILD LOCKS ARE ACTIVATING THEMSELVES AS YOU CANNOT OPEN EITHER PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS BECOMING A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN BEING THAT I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS PROPERLY. I BECAME VERY FRUSTRATED TO FIND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CR-V'S MADE BETWEEN 2007-2011 AND HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THEM. FIXING THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE DEALER IS VERY COSTLY AND DOES NOT PROMISE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. HONDA CAMPAIGNS TO "START SOMETHING SPECIAL". I HAVE YET TO SEE WHAT IT IS THAT THEY HAVE STARTED THAT IS SO "SPECIAL" WHEN IT COMES TO REPAIRING THEIR OWN MISTAKES TO BENEFIT THE SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE OF THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR
