ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2012 CR-V HAS CUSTOMIZABLE AUTO DOOR LOCK FUNCTION. IT HAS COUPLE OPTION. 1. WITH VEHICLE SPEED, 2. SHIFT FROM P. PROBLEM WITH OPTION 2. I SELECT OPTION 2. BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MORE SECURE SAFETY. NOT LESS THE SECURE SAFETY. WHEN I WAS ESCAPING FROM CLOSE ROAD, I NEED TO DRIVE BACK. I STARTED ENGINE AND OPEN DRIVER DOOR TO MAKE SURE MY REAR TIRE IS GOING RIGHT WAY. CHANGED GEAR P TO R. AND DOOR DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. I GUESS THERE IS PROTECTION FOR WHEN DRIVER DOOR OPEN AND ENGINE RUNNING, DOOR DIDN'T LOCK ITSELF. I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I ESCAPE FROM THERE AND CLOSE DOOR AND CHANGE GEAR R TO D. AND DRIVE UP TO 40 MPH. AND DOOR IS STILL UNLOCK. THIS IS AN ERROR. THEY CAN NOT ADVERTISE THEY HAVE AUTO LOCK FUNCTION FOR SAFETY. THE FUNCTION GIVE PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND FOR HAVE MORE SECURE SAFETY BY CAR. THEY MUST WATCH SAFETY WHILE CAR IS DRIVING MORE THEN 20MPH OVER 500 FEET. IF THEY THINK REALLY CARE ABOUT SAFETY, THEY SHOULD LOCK OTHER DOORS AT LEAST. AND KEEP WATCH WHAT'S CAR STATUS. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
PURCHASED CAR IN SEPT 2013 WITHIN A WEEK THE TPM LIGHT CAME ON. STOPPED BY THE DEALER, THEY CHECKED THE TIRES (THEY WERE FINE) AND SHOWED ME HOW TO RESET IT. WITHIN 20 MILES LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WENT BACK TO DEALER...REPEAT MULTIPLE TIMES. IN OCT DEALER SWAPPED OUT TIRES WITH ANOTHER SET THINKING IT MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. LIGHT BACK ON WITHIN 50 MILES. CAR BACK TO DEALER, THEY FIDDLED WITH IT A BIT, TEST DROVE IT OVER 100 MILES, NO LIGHT. I PICKED IT UP, LIGHT BACK ON BEFORE I ARRIVED HOME. COMPLAINED AGAIN. WAS TOLD "HONDA IS WORKING ON IT"....NOV/DEC JUST CONTINUED TO RESET LIGHT. STARTED TRACKING IT- USUALLY GOES ON WITHIN 1 MILE OF SAME PLACE ON FREEWAY, SPEEDS 45-57 MPH, 27-45 DEGREES. WAS TOLD IN NOV (?) THAT A SOFTWARE FIX WAS IN THE WORKS EXPECTED ETA JAN/FEB. MARCH 2014 STILL HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING UNTIL I READ ABOUT A "FIX" ON THE HONDA OWNERS WEBSITE. CALLED DEALER, THEY HADN'T HEARD BUT LOOKED INTO IT AND WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT IT ONLY WORKED ON APPROX. 10% OF CARS AND WASN'T REALLY A FIX. HAVE OWNED CAR FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW, LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON AT RANDOM. WHAT'S THE POINT OF A "SAFETY FEATURE" WHEN IT ONLY CRIES "WOLF"? PRETTY DISGUSTED WITH HONDA AT THIS POINT AND WANT IT FIXED SO I CAN DUMP THE CAR. *TR

TPMS LIGHT IS ON AGAIN FOR ABOUT THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AGO. HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESET PER THE VEHICLES MANUAL, PUT CAR IN PARK, TURN ON, PUSH THE TPMS BUTTON, WILL FLASH TWICE AND THEN DRIVE FOR 30 MINUTES AT A SPEED OF BETWEEN 30 AND 60 MPH. I DID THIS AND APPARENTLY THE VEHICLE STILL DID NOT CALIBRATE. NEW CAR, TOTALLY FRUSTRATED ESPECIALLY TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

EVERY TIME WE TRY DRIVE ABOVE 9 MPH, THE DOOR TRIES TO LOCK, EVEN IF ITS ALREADY LOCK. IN A PARKING LOT IT KEEPS TRYING TO LOCK IF WE GO BELOW AND ABOVE 9MPH. WE HAVE DISABLED THE AUTO LOCK AND AUTO UNLOCK FEATURES NOW THE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER WON'T STAY LOCKED. EVER. IF YOU USE THE REMOTE, MASTER KEY, OR PHYSICALLY TRY TO LOCK THAT DOOR, IT UNLOCKS ITSELF WITHIN A SECOND. VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND IS USED TO TRANSPORT TWO TODDLERS. THE DOOR ALSO WON'T OPEN NOW SO WE CAN'T ENGAGE CHILD LOCK. THE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HONDA ACTUATORS. DEALERS CHARGE 400-700 FOR ONE. OUR OTHER CAR, A HONDA PILOT HAD TO HAVE ALL 4 REPLACED LAST YEAR, AND 1 ALREADY STOPPED WORKING. CHECK OUT YOUTUBE AND OTHER FORUMS. THANK YOU! *TR

ANOTHER DOOR LOCK FAILURE. KEY WOULD NOT UNLOCK DOOR. PASSENGER DOOR LOCK STICKING AND LOCKING BY ITSELF. GOT LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR WHEN THE BATTERY DIED AND THE KEY REMOTE WOULD NOT WORK WITH NO POWER. I HAD 3 SETS OF KEYS IN MY HAND BUT COULD NOT GET IN MY CAR. HAD TO REPLACE THE KEY CYLINDER, CABLE, AND BOTH FRONT LATCH ASSEMBLIES AT A COST OF OVER $700. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS UNTIL HONDA ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE LOCK ASSEMBLIES? IF HONDA IS READING THIS, I WILL NOT DO FUTURE BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. *TR

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR NEW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN OUT. A TOTAL OF 25 BULBS HAVE FAILED SINCE 2007. AFTER REVIEWING THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND THIS WEB SITE IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED BY A RECALL TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS WAS DONE ON EARLIER CVR MODELS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THIS CAR VIBRATES A LOT WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I DID NOT FIND OUT THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM UNTIL 3/15/2014. I HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY ALL SAID THAT THE REAR U-JOINT ON THE PROPELLER SHAFT IS BADLY DAMAGED. THIS U-JOINT IS NOT REPAIRABLE BY HONDA DESIGN BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF THE PROPELLER SHAFT. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA DEALER, THE ENTIRE SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1800. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE PROPELLER WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA. THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR MOSTLY LOCALLY ALL THESE YEARS. MY HUSBAND, [XXX], HAS MY PERMISSION TO ACT ON MY BEHALF IN THIS MATTER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
