ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE LOCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY NOR WILL IT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE EXCEPT FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND WHEN THE REMOTE IS PRESSED. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY KIND OF EMERGENCY ANYONE IN THAT SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT. COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IT WILL COST ABOUT $300 TO FIX. THOUGHT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A WARNING TO OTHERS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTES. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THIS LETTER IS TO REPORT MY DISSATISFACTION WITH MY 2014 HONDA CRVS DRIVER SIDE, OUTSIDE, REARVIEW MIRROR. AT THE LEAST, THE DISTORTION OF THIS DESIGN IS A DISTRACTION, AT THE WORST IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO QUICKLY DETERMINE WHAT IS BEING REFLECTED IN THIS MIRROR. PLEASE OFFER A REPLACEMENT MIRROR WITHOUT THE SPLIT DESIGNED REFLECTING SURFACE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LIGHT BULBS FAIL FREQUENTLY (ANYWHERE FROM APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS) FOR NO APPARENT REASON. USUALLY ONE LIGHT AT A TIME. CONSTANTLY REPLACING BULBS BOTH INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. RECEIVE A TICKET IN NY STATE LAST WEEK FOR A BLOWN LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT THAT HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED LAST MONTH. LAST WINTER I REPLACED ALL FUSES JUST IN CASE, HOWEVER, THAT HAS NOT STOPPED THE PROBLEM. AS STATED BY ANOTHER OWNER - "THIS IS A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. AND [OBVIOUSLY] A POOR DESIGN ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OUTSTANDING RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR MODEL YEARS 2002-2004 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V136000). FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE AT LEAST AS PREVALENT (IF NOT MORE SO) IN THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS. PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE THOSE MODEL YEARS AND FORCE HONDA TO OWN UP TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A POOR DESIGN ISSUE. THIS IS A [MAJOR] SAFETY ISSUE." CRV IS IN THE SHOP NOW GETTING A NEW AIR COMPRESSOR ($2,500) - ENGINE OVER HEATED DUE TO THE A/C UNIT IN THE PASSING LANE ON I-95 IN WASHINGTON, DC ON MONDAY. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH HONDA RIGHT NOW. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE LOCKS ON MY CR-V DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF I UNLOCK THE DOORS, EITHER FROM THE CAR DOOR OR REMOTELY, THEY INSTANTLY RELOCK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR OFF, EVEN IN DRIVE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CANNOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. I SEE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING--AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR! IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS, AND MAKES ME NERVOUS TO TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THE LOCK SYSTEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
UPDATE TO THE JULY 2013 AND DECEMBER 2013 VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS (NHTSA ID NUMBERS 10523929 AND 10555723 RESPECTIVELY) CONCERNING THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT COMING ON PERMANENTLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND RESULTING IN THE SHUT OFF OF THE SIDE AIRBAG. IN APRIL 2014, THE SRS LIGHT WITH THE DTC 15-2 CODE CAME ON PERMANENTLY AND WOULD NOT CLEAR WITH MY CODE READER. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALER ON 5/27/2014. THE MILEAGE WAS 121,133. THE HONDA TECH DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED PRINTED CIRCUIT IN THE DASHBOARD GAUGE CONTROL MODULE AFTER BEING UNABLE TO CLEAR THE SRS DIAGNOSTIC CODE. A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON 6/16/2014. I RETAINED THE OLD PART. SO FAR THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON PERMANENTLY AGAIN. UPDATED 08/18/14

WHEELS, TIRES
SINCE MAY 27TH THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 4-5 DAYS A WEEK. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I UTILIZED THE MANUAL TO CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM, BUT THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED ALL OF THE TIRES, CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM, AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY. ANOTHER 5 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THE RAN A CHECK THROUGH THE ENTIRE COMPUTER TIRE SYSTEM AND TEST DROVE IT, SO THEY SAY, BUT WHILE HEADING HOME THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I AM SO SICK OF THIS. ITS VERY ANNOYING. THIS MALFUNCTION CAN BE SAFETY CONCERN IN THE LONG RUN. AFTER A WHILE, HOW DOES THE OWNER DETERMINE WHETHER THE SYSTEM IS ACCURATELY OR FALSELY REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES. MY CRV CURRENTLY HAS 1800 MILES ON IT. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME AND ASK THAT THE SENSOR BE REPLACED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RAPID AND UNCONTROLLED DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSAFE MANNER WHILE DRIVING.WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY THE FOLLOWING CAR.WE LOST OF ALL INSTRUMENTATION,ALL OF THE WARNINGS LIGHTS INDICATE FAILURE, SPEEDOMETER,TACHOMETER,AIRBAGS,VSA,BRAKES,ABS,ETC.. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED 4 TIMES. #1(4/4/14) REPLACED VSA MODULE AND BLEED BRAKES+ RESET CODES,#2 (4/8/14) REPLACE 2 WIRING HARNESSES AND VERIFY CONNECTIONS+ RESET CODES,#3(5/8/14) MEASURE ALL CAN BUSS VOLTAGES & DRIVE WITH METER+ RESET CODES, #4(6/10/14)DEALER THINKS THEY HAVE FOUND A LOOSE GROUND & REPLACED ECM/PCM MODULE+RESET CODES, DROVE A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES THEN RETURNED. THE LOOSE PIN MAY HAVE BEEN FROM REPLACING THE HARNESS AND REMOVING CONNECTORS MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR 30 DAYS OF SERVICE COMBINED. IN 1857 MILES THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. YOU HAVE NO SPEED INDICATION WHILE DRIVING DURING AND AFTER THE EVENT. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES COME ON OR CAR IS FORCED INTO LOW GEAR THROWING PASSENGERS FORWARD AND CAUSING FOLLOWING CARS TO EVADE THE CAR . THERE ARE MANY ERROR CODES DURING THESE EVENTS. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING CAR MULTIPLE TIMES ALL INDICATORS WILL RETURN TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEO OF THREE OF THE EVENTS. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISOR FAILURE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL NO LONGER FOLD UP OR FOLD AWAY. THIS CAUSES A VISUAL HAZARD AND SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS AFFECTED EVERY CR-V AND ACCORDS EVENTUALLY. TIMING SEEMS TO DEPEND ON THE # OF TIMES THE VISOR IS FLIPPED, & THATS WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOTED LESS OFTEN (FLIPPED LESS FREQUENTLY). THERE ARE MANY ONLINE VIDEO FIXES (YOUTUBE), BUT AS THERE ARE MANY ONLINE BLOGS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM & IS CLEARLY A VISUAL HAZARD I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA & NTSB. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO CHOOSE FROM.... OUR CRV ... GRANDSON CLOSED THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH THE KEYS IN CAR AND IT LOCKED.. TRIED TO UNLOCK DOOR WITH SPARE KEYS AND IT WOULDN'T WORK.. NOT MANUALLY OR WITH THE PUSH BUTTONS ON KEYS.... DROPPED MY GRANDDAUGHTER OFF FOR SWIM CLASS AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH BUTTON INSIDE CAR AND IT LOCKED AGAIN BEFORE I COULD OPEN DOOR.. TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAR WOULD NOT STAY UNLOCKED.. FINALLY, HAD TO USE ONE HAND TO UNLOCK DOOR AND THE OTHER HAND ON HANDLE TO OPEN IT BEFORE IT LOCKED AGAIN... IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET MYSELF AND OR GRANDKIDS OUT OF THE CAR FAST ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM????? HONDA, I FOUND OUT HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2007 AND CONTINUES TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED... NOT LIKE WHAT GM DID... LETS GET THIS FIXED AND RIGHT BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO AMERICANS !!!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE FIRST SIGN OF A DOOR LOCKING PROBLEM STARTED WITH MY REAR HATCH NOT OPENING. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND THE LOCKS KEEP CLICKING AS YOU DRIVE. MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TELLS ME AFTER DRIVERS PAY HONDA MANY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR THE PROBLEM RETURNS ON ANOTHER DOOR OR THE ACTUATOR THEY REPLACE FAILS AGAIN.THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BOTH A PASSENGER FALLING OUT OR A CRIMINAL GETTING IN AND ATTACKING SOMEONE OR STEALING THE CAR AND OR ITS CONTENTS. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AT RISK.THIS IS NOT A POTENTIAL PROBLEM, IT IS AN EXISTING PROBLEM FOR CRV, CIVIC AND ACCORD DRIVERS. *TR

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. WHEN I PRESS LOCK EITHER BY THE DRIVER SIDE OR ON MY KEY FOB, THE LOCK WOULD CLOSE, BUT THEN REOPEN AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. ANYONE CAN OPEN MY CAR AND STEAK THINGS INSIDE. VERY UNSAFE. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. POSES SAFETY RISK WITH HAVING A CHILD IN THE BACKSEAT. TOOK TO HONDA AND DOOR ACTUATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED IN BOTH LOCKS. FORTUNATELY I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT STILL COST ME $100 COPAY. NOW SEEING THIS IS A HUGE TREND WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHEN I UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS - THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK OPENED BUT THEN RETRACTED AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN - I CLICKED THE OPEN SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR - BUT THEN THE SWITCH SEEMED TO JAM AGAIN - FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THE ACTUATOR IS THE CAUSE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ISSUE - IF THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY - AT THE VERY LEAST IT IS FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO REMEMBER TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR AS SOON AS IT IS ACTIVATED OTHERWISE IT WILL RETRACT AND NOT OPEN. I HAVE IN THE INTERIM TRIED APPLYING SOME WHITE LITHIUM GREASE TO THE INSIDE AND IT APPEARS TO HELP TEMPORARILY - BUT THE ACTUATOR WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TRYING TO INQUIRE IF THIS SHOULDN'T BE A RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR FROM HONDA..... *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH LOW HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME. THE DAY BEFORE THEY WORKED. USUALLY ONE GOES AT A TIME BUT THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TWICE A YEAR. SHOULD IT? I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BULBS SO MUCH. AND NOW BOTH! SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT HONDA ISSUE A RECALL AND SEE IF MY2006 IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER RECALLED MODEL YEARS. *JS
