VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TWICE TODAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CRV, I LET UP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE RPM DIAL CONTINUED TO CLIMB UP. ONCE I TAPPED THE BRAKES THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT IT DID THE SAME THING LATER IN THE DAY. *TR

BACK TO SHOP FOR NEW TRIALS. HONDA MUST HAVE SOME PRETTY WEAK ENGINEERS TO NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. ( NEARLY 50 COMPLAINTS AT THIS SITE ). WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. .? IS THERE A FAILURE ON A TIRE OR.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE AIR CONDITIONING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE ~85F. THIS HAPPENED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY UNTIL THE SYSTEM STOPPED PUTTING OUT COLD AIR ALTOGETHER. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CR-VS, AND HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH TO 100,000 MILES. A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THIS AS MY PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH IT HAPPENED 4,000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED LIMIT FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR LOCK ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DOORS LOCKED AS SOON AS HE CLOSED THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WAS BY TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND USING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY. HOWEVER, TWO SECONDS LATER, IT LOCKED AGAIN. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON JUNE 21, 2014 AT APPROX 9:34 AM, AS I WAS COMING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE TO TURN LEFT, AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PAD, SLIGHTLY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL *& MY CAR SHOT LIKE A BULLET! IT WAS GOING SO FAST IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO CONTROL IT (IT WAS FASTER THAN BEING ON THE HIGHWAY); I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PADS & THE CAR WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. I MANAGED TO MAKE ANOTHER LEFT (AS STRAIGHT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE BLDG) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT AN UNKNOWN ACCELERATED SPEED. AS I TURNED LEFT, GOING AROUND VEHICLES, I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE PAD & THE CAR SHOT EVEN FASTER THAN BEFORE! I WENT THROUGH THE FENCE & INTO A SEDAN THAT WAS PARKED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARKING LOT, MY VEHICLE JUMPED & LANDED ON THE DRIVER SIDE PARALLEL TO THE SEDAN. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, DEFLATED, I TOOK OFF MY SEATBELT, WENT TO OPEN THE DOORS BUT THE DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN. I WAS FRANTIC, THE CAR WAS SMOKING, RED & GREEN LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED EXITING VIA THE SUNROOF; THAT WORKED, THAT'S HOW I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE (WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF PEOPLE PASSING BY). I HAD JUST LEASED THIS VEHICLE ON TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2014; IT WAS A HONDA CRV 2014. SINCE THEN I'VE FOUND SOME ARTICLES ONLINE WHERE INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXPERIENCED ALMOST THE SAME FRIGHTENING SITUATION THAT I ENCOUNTERED (GOOGLE ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING IN HONDA CRV). I'M BEYOND SCARED TO RIDE IN A CAR OR A TAXI; I'M NOT SURE WHEN I WOULD EVER WANT TO GET IN A CAR AGAIN. I'M EVEN AFRAID OF CROSSING THE STREET WHEN THERE'S HONDA AT A STOPLIGHT. I CAN HARDLY SLEEP BECAUSE THE EVENTS KEEP PLAYING IN MY HEAD; I'M PARANOID! I'M STILL EXPERIENCING ACHES AND PAINS FROM THE ACCIDENT, NO BROKEN BONES HOWEVER. I'M SEEKING TO SUE HONDA FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ENDING OF MY LIFE, DUE TO THEIR PRODUCT DEFECT. CAN YOU HELP ME? CAN YOU REFER TO ME A PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY THAT WOULD PURSUE A SUIT? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BOTH REAR DOORS STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE MAIN LOCK AT THE DRIVERS SIDE FROM INSIDE.THEY CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE INTERIOR DRIVER DOOR LOCK WHEN MOVED UP OR DOWN MANUALLY ONLY WORKS ON FRONT TWO DOORS. SOMETIMES THE KEY IS STICKING AND NOT TURNING IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK. MUST TRY MULTIPLE TIMES TO FINALLY GET IT TO WORK. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE FRONT DOOR MALFUNCTIONS AS WELL. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK BEGAN OPENING WHEN THE CAR WAS OPERATING. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE CAR'S CRASH SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRES THE DOORS TO REMAIN LOCKED DURING OPERATION. FURTHER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK THIS DOOR, EVEN MANUALLY. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN STOPPED. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME ON HIGHWAY. NO TIME TO STOP NOR WAS I ABLE TO CHANGE LANES TO AVOID HIM. HIT AT BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BELT ACTUALLY BROKE AND WAS HANGING LOOSE OUT SIDE OF CAR WHEN THEY REMOVED ME. ONLY MY BRACING WITH MY ARMS INTO STEERING WHEEL AND LEGS STOPPED ME FROM GOING THRU THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER SHOPPING, USED CAR FOB TO UNLOCK DOORS. TAILGATE WAS STILL LOCKED. DRIVER SIDE SECOND ROW DOOR ALSO STILL LOCKED. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DOORS UNLOCKED FAILED. USED KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR. TRIED THE POWER LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE. OTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE CAR WAS STILL LOCKED. WENT TO DEALER, WHERE A TECH PHYSICALLY WRENCHED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO OPEN. FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE POWER LOCKS CONSTANTLY "KACHUNKED" AS I WAS DRIVING, TRYING TO REPEATEDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. BACK TO DEALER, HAVING DISCOVERED THAT THE 2007 CR V HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS. DEALER CLAIMED TO BE SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS. NO, HONDA WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS A FLAW, AND I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE DOOR LOCKS FIXED. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS HUGELY DANGEROUS, THAT RANDOMLY LOCKING DOORS WHICH WOULDN'T UNLOCK WERE A GENUINE HAZARD. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL HONDA CORPORATE TO NO AVAIL. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS SUFFICIENTLY DANGEROUS TO WARRANT A RECALL. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK ALL FOUR DOORS. AS SOON AS YOU UNLOCK THEM, THEY LOCK AGAIN. YOU CAN NOT USE THE MANUAL UNLOCK BECAUSE IT SEEMS FROZEN AND CAN ONLY UNLOCK THE CAR USING THE KEY FOB AND THEN THEY LOCK AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND MAKE IT PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL. ONLINE FORUMS ARE LOADED WITH HONDA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME AND/OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED EARLY 2013 REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. RESULTS, IF ANY, ARE NOT KNOWN. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND THE ATTENDANT DOING THE CHANGE POINTED OUT A PROBLEM WITH ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES. THE SIDEWALLS HAD MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THEM. SOME ARE AN INCH LONG AND LOOK DEEP. THE MANAGER OF THE FACILITY SAID THEY WERE CAUSED BY THE SUN. I CONTACTED MICHELIN AND THEY SEEMED TO AGREE. I DON'T BELIEVE IT. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE MY RECEIPT ANY LONGER. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN FALL OF 2008. I THINK THE CRACKS ARE DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN A BLOWOUT. I READ ABOUT 5 BLOWOUTS THAT OCCURRED WITH THESE SAME STYLE TIRES WHERE THE DRIVER DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE BLOWOUT. MAYBE THE TIRES HAD CRACKS. MICHELIN DOES NOT MAKE HARMONY TIRES ANYMORE. AT LEAST, I COULDN'T FIND ANY FOR SALE. TREAD DEPTH IS ABOUT 7/32". I HAVE PHOTOS THAT SHOW THE CRACKS WELL. I YOU WANT TO SEE THEM, LET ME KNOW. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SYMBOL LIGHTS UP BY ITSELF AND GOES OFF BY ITSELF; SOMETIMES IT REMAINS ON FOR AS LONG AS 15 MINS OR AS SHORT AS FEW MINS. IT IS RANDOM AND NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON DEMAND. THERE'S NOTHING ONE CAN DO ON A HIGHWAY IF THE AIRBAG FAILS TO DEPLOY AS ONE WOULD EXPECT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY WANTED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $125 TO FIND THE PROBLEM, AND IF ITS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON DEMAND IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL TRIES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING / DESIGN DEFECT AND HONDA SHOULD OWN AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AS ITS NOT EVEN A PART THAT'S SUBJECT TO WEAR - LIKE THE TIRES/BRAKES, ETC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AFTER BEING LOCKED. THE LOCK BUTTON ALSO WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS IN THE CAR. THEREFORE I HAVE 2 DOORS IN MY CALL THAT WILL NEVER LOCK. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT ALSO ANY PASSENGERS THAT I HAVE WITH ME. IT ALSO PUT ANY OF POSSESSIONS THAT ARE LEFT IN THE CAR VULNERABLE TO THEFT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN EARLIER MODELS AND HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS ISSUE, YET IN LATER MODELS THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VSA AND EXCLAMATION LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY RIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND HAS NEVER TURNED OFF. MY MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND CONFIRMED THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PART+LABOR = $2400+ (EXCLUDING TAX). CALLED U.S. HONDA MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL PAY 25% FOR THE PART. THAT STILL IS EXPENSIVE. I'M READING OFF ON THE WEB THAT COUNTRIES IN THE UK AND CANADA, THAT HONDA HAS PAID THE PART IN FULL. HERE IN THE U.S. THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS PART IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. A LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS WHERE IT SNOWS. IF THERE'S SAND, THE CAR WILL BE STUCK. ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID THERE COULD BE A SHORT. HONDA MANUFACTURER NEVER ADVISED ME OF THIS OR IF IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE OR SHOULD BE REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. COMING FROM FAMILY WHO BUYS MOSTLY HONDA'S, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. I WAS LOOKING AT A ODYSSEY, BUT SAW IT HAD A HUGE VSA ISSUE AS WELL. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BECAUSE A FEW TIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED ON. HAVE NEVER USED CRUISE CONTROL. NEVER DRIVEN IN BAD WEATHER AND AVOID HEAVY RAIN. DRIVEN ONLY FEW TIMES PER WEEK AND CAREFULLY IN MOSTLY LOCAL SHORT DISTANCES. *JS
