STEERING
2007 HONDA CR-V MAKING WHINING NOISE DURING TURNS. TOPPED OFF POWER STEERING FLUID WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. EVENTUALLY TOOK CAR IN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT I NEED NEW POWER STEERING HOSE AND RACK AND PINION SYSTEM. WITHOUT REPLACING BOTH, THE PROBLEM WILL ONLY GET WORSE. I SEE A NUMBER OF OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED REGARDING STEERING ISSUES WITH THE 2007 HONDA CR-V. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LOCKS STARTED LOCKING WITHIN A SECOND OF BEING UNLOCKED. SO I COULD UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY BUTTON AND PULL QUICKLY TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET IN. THE LOCKS WOULD ENGAGE AS SOON AS I GOT IN. HOWEVER, IF I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM INSIDE, I WOULD HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT. ONCE THE DOORS CLOSED THE LOCKS WOULD IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE. AS IT TURNS OUT I LOCKED MY PURSE AND KEYS INSIDE. MY SPARE KEY WOULD NOT OPEN IT. THERE WAS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE! THIS IS MY CONCERN. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR A CHILD INSIDE, THERE WAS NO WAY TO OPEN, NOT EVEN WITH A KEY. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT HAS BEEN FIXED, AN ACTUATOR (?). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BULBS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT BULBS ARE MUCH DIMMER (ALMOST NOT VISIBLE) IN COMPARISON TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE BULBS. OPERATION OF THE BULB ALSO APPEARS TO BE SPORADIC. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO CONCERNS WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE FIRST SIGN OF A DOOR LOCKING PROBLEM STARTED WITH MY REAR HATCH NOT OPENING. AS A SENIOR FEMALE I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET 10 40LB BAGS OF SMELLY WET FERTILIZER OVER THE PASSENGER SEATS AND OUT A PASSENGER DOOR. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND THE LOCKS KEEP CLICKING AS YOU DRIVE. TWO HONDA DEALERS WE CALLED OFFER NOTHING BUT AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. 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

POWER TRAIN
I STARTED TO NOTICE A CROAKING (SOUNDS LIKE A FROG) NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN LIGHTLY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND RIGHT BEFORE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW AND THIS SOUND STARTED AFTER 11 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM A NOISY REAR DIFFERENTIAL PUMP MOTOR (PART OF THE AWD SYSTEM) PER A MANUFACTURERS TECH LINE SUMMARY ARTICLE. PER THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER, THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON A FIX, BUT DOES NOT HAVE ONE TO DATE. MANUFACTURER HAS INSTRUCTED DEALERSHIPS NOT TO REPLACE ANY REAR DIFFERENTIAL PUMP MOTORS AT THIS TIME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A YEAR WITH MY CAR AND THE BRAKES KEEP SQUISHING SQUIRING I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE RESURFACE THE FRONT ROTORS AND THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE WHEN I TEST THE CAR AFTER THE SERVICE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE RESURFACE THE BACK ROTORS AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE BUT NOW THE NOISE IS BACK I AM GOING TO TAKE TO THE BACK TO THE DEALER FIRST WEEKEND OF MAY 2014. I AM TIRED OF THIS NOISE. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCK ON BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT SECURELY LOCK WHEN THE DOOR LOCK IS ACTIVATED. THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IN PARTICULAR WILL INITIALLY LOCK THEN SLOWLY UNLOCK WITHIN 2 SECONDS AND THE FRONT DOOR WILL SOMETIMES JUST NOT LOCK AT ALL, ALMOST LIKE IT IS STUCK. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS START TO PULSE OR FLICKER (2 TO 3 TIMES A SECOND) CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. HAVE TO REPLACE LOW BEAM BULBS EVERY 3 TO 5 MONTHS. BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF AND ON FOR A FEW SECONDS BUY THEMSELVES. HIGH BEAM LIGHTS SEAM TO WORK FINE. THE ABOVE ISSUES I LISTED ARE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 12-023 THAT COVERS A RECALL FOR THE 2002-04 CRV. I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE AMENDED TO COVER THE 2005 HONDA CRV BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS ONGOING SAFETY FAILURE. HONDA AMERICA TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID TO TAKE THE CRV TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO EVALUATE THE DEFECT BUT WOULD NOT ADDRESS MY ISSUES UNDER THE RECALL UNLESS THE NHTSA MANDATES AN AMENDMENT TO THE RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2005 HONDA CRV. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU ADDRESS THIS CONCERN IMMEDIATELY SO THAT I AND OTHER 2005 HONDA CRV OWNERS CAN RESOLVE THESE SAFETY FLAWS. *JS
