WHEELS, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE, THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE CONDITION. I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE, AND RECALIBRATED THE SYSTEM PER THE OWNERS MANUAL (TIRE PRESSURE WAS HIGH FROM THE DEALER (@37PSI), AND WAS RESET TO THE 30PSI FACTORY SPEC). THE LIGHT ACTIVATED AGAIN WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY BASICALLY DID THE SAME - TIRE PRESSURE CHECK AND SYSTEM CALIBRATION. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE NOW FOR 6 MONTHS. AFTER EACH SYSTEM CALIBRATION AND RESET, THE LIGHT WILL AGAIN ACTIVATE ANYWHERE FROM 1 DAY TO APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS - EACH TIME THE TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN WITHIN THE FACTORY SPECIFICATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT SIX TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, WITH NO FIX. (WE WERE TOLD HONDA WILL HAVE A FIX BY FEBRUARY, 2014). . THE (DEALER) SERVICE ADVISOR MANAGER CAN'T GIVE US ANY DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON THE PROBLEM, OR SOLVING THE PROBLEM. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IS A SAFETY MANDATED FEATURE, AND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MOST 2014 HONDA CR-V'S. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I STOPPED THE CAR BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. LATER THAT DAY, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND HAD TO STAND UP ON THE BRAKES TRYING TO STOP THE CAR AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING. CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD TO GET OUT OF MY WAY. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD NO PROBLEM STOPPING. IN ADDITION TO THAT TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CONSTANTLY COMES ON. NOT A GOOD DESIGN OR VEHICLE. WASTED MY MONEY. VEHICLE WAS RECOMMENDED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS BEING SAFE. I DON'T SEE IT. HELP. *TR

ENGINE
ON COLD DAYS AT FIRST START UP THE ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ACCORDS AND CR-V SINCE 2008. HONDA HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN SAYING IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO PERMANENT FIX OR RECALL ON DEFECTIVE PART(S). GRINDING NOISE CAN BE SPORADIC SO ONLY IF DEALER CAN REPLICATE ISSUE WILL THEY REPLACE THE ACTUATOR AND EVEN THEN GRINDING NOISE CAN RETURN WEEKS OR MONTHS LATER WHEN IT GETS COLD AGAIN (I,E, EVERY WINTER). FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAS EXISTED FOR SO MANY YEARS, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PERMANENT FIX BY NOW. ESPECIALLY FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. IN MY CASE I'VE HAD THE GRINDING NOISE SINCE DECEMBER '13 ALTHOUGH SPORADIC AS MENTIONED DEPENDING ON OUTSIDE TEMP AND HOW LONG THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BE STARTED. *TR

THIS WAS A HONDA RECALL FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR KIT .NO CHARGE TO ME THE OWNER.. ANOTHER HONDA RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR KIT WAS DONE ON JULY 31 2013 AGAIN NO CHARGE TO ME THE OWNER..SPRING OF 2008 I RECEIVED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS.OR 150000 MILES..I HAVE LESS THAN 35000 MILES ON CAR.MY SRS LITE WENT ON IN EARLY FEB 2014 SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HOLMAN HONDA.THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CHARGE TO CHECK WOULD BE $60 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR HONDA I REFUSED TO PAY..A CALL TO HONDA OF AMERICA WAS FRUITLESS AS THEY SAID THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY..OF COURSE THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA. THEY DID NOT SEEM TO CARE.. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVERS DOOR LOCK KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING IT OR IN PARK. HAD TO PAY $160.00 TO HAVE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED IN JULY 2013. NOW THE REAR DOORS ARE STARTING TO MAKING A STRANGE SOUND WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THE DOORS. THIS IS THE SOUND THE CAME BEFORE THE LOCKS ACTUALLY STARTED TO MALFUNCTION ON THE FRONT DOOR. WHY ISN'T HONDA BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE ACTUATOR PROBLEMS? *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ON 08/09/2013 I PARKED MY HONDA CRV IN MY DRIVEWAY AND LOCKED MY CAR WITH MY KEYLESS REMOTE. ONE HOUR LATER OUR FAMILY DECIDED TO GO OUT TO DINNER. WE WENT OUT TO OUR CAR AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN. TIRED THE KEY IN THE DOOR AND TRIED THE KEYLESS REMOTE ALSO TRIED THE SPARE KEYLESS REMOTE, WOULD NOT OPEN. AT 9:30 P.M. WE CALL AAA TO OPEN THE CAR, AT 10 P.M. AAA SHOWED UP AND OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. HE GOT THE DOOR OPEN, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER IN THE MORNING. DURING THE NIGHT, THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. I NEEDED TO GO TO WORK, HAD TO GET A RIDE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. MY HUSBAND WAITED 3 HOURS FOR A TOW-TRUCK TO SHOW UP TO TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. WE WERE VERY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHERE WE LIVE THE TEMPERATURE DURING THE DAY IN AUGUST RUNS FROM 95 DEGREES TO 110 DEGREES, IF THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR, THIS COULD CAUSE DEATH.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2008 HONDA CRV IN 2010 BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DOOR LOCK AND THEN THE HATCH LOCK. WHEN I PUT THE REAR DOOR LOCK INTO CHILD SAFETY MODE AND TOOK IT OFF CHILD SAFETY MODE, THE DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK. IT KEPT LOCKING AND I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE LOCK BUTTON IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA CAR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES AND IT WOULD COST ME $380 TO REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGHT THE PART I WAS TOLD WAS ACTUALLY ONLY $80 DOLLARS. TO ME AND TO EVERYONE ELSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IF IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES. I REFUSED THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. LATER IN A FEW WEEKS, MY HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNLESS THE DEFECTIVE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS ALSO UNLOCKED. NOW, IT IS 2014 AND AS OF FRIDAY, 2/28/14, ALL MY LOCKS ARE NOW LOCKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I USED MY AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK ON MY KEY FOB. I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO MY CAR UNLESS I'M QUICK ABOUT IT BEFORE IT LOCKS ON ME AGAIN. THEN WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS, BEFORE I CAN EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, ALL THE LOCKS LOCK UP AGAIN WITHOUT MY HAVING DONE ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THESE DEFECTS. HERE IS THE LINK TO ARFC.ORG WHICH HAS A LIST OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVING THE SAME DEFECTIVE ISSUES: HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2008/HONDA/CR-V/LATCHES_LOCKS_LINKAGES/PROBLEM.ASPX. IS IT NECESSARY FOR HONDA DRIVER OR THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER GO TO THEIR GRAVE UNTIL THIS DEFECT IS ADDRESSED? I URGE THE NHTSA BOARD TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND TAKE ACTION TO MAKE HONDA SET A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT SO THAT HONDA CRV AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLE OWNERS ARE SAFER ON THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2011 HONDA CRV BRAND NEW FROM OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL LAST MONTH. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHENEVER I CAME TO A STOP OR SLOWED DOWN BELOW 10 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATED, MY DOORS WOULD MAKE THE LOCKING SOUND EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALREADY LOCKED. IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AS I SLOW DOWN/STOP AND THEN ACCELERATE. THEN TODAY (3/4/2014) THE PROBLEM ESCALATED. I CAME OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE AND COULDN'T UNLOCK THE CARGO DOOR WITH MY KEY FOB. I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR DIDN'T UNLOCK AS WELL. I PRESSED THE BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEY WOULDN'T UNLOCK. THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT PASSENGER AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOORS DID UNLOCK. SO THEN I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER DOOR ARMREST BUT THE CARGO DOOR AND THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR STILL DIDN'T UNLOCK. I HAD TO PUT MY GROCERIES IN THROUGH THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR SINCE THE CARGO DOOR DOESN'T HAVE A WAY TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE, NOR MANUALLY WITH A KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE. IF THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE, THIS CAN POSE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHAT IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY AND YOUR CAR DOESN'T UNLOCK? I JUST DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT COULD BE FIXED. A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS OF DOOR LOCK FAILURES ON CRV'S. SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS (AT LEAST 2007-2011). I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT HONDA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND SERIOUS PROBLEM! I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE APPROXIMATE COST TO REPLACE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. THIS ISN'T A CHEAP FIX! THEY WOULD CHARGE $180 LABOR FOR EACH DOOR THEY WOULD NEED TO FIX ON TOP OF THE COST OF EACH DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WHICH RANGES FROM $59 TO $75 EACH, DEPENDING ON WHICH DOOR THE PART IS FOR. I WOULD NEED 2, POSSIBLY 3, REPLACED SO THAT WOULD BE ABOUT $500 TO ALMOST $750. *TR

STEERING
DURING A ROUTINE STATE INSPECTION, THE SHOP MECHANIC SAID POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING AND HE BELIEVED IT TO BE THE RACK AND PINION. OVER THE NEXT WEEK, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME ABNORMALLY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER .THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC WHERE THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE RACK AND PINION, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,580. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN OUR 2006 HONDA CR-V A PREVIOUS INCIDENT ON A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY WAS QUICKLY CONTROLLED AND THOUGHT OF AS AN ANOMALY. THIS TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING UPHILL AT 60 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO PASS, THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. IT WOULD NOT RETURN, JUST KEPT RACING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. THERE WAS NO FLOOR PAD INVOLVED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AS FORCEFULLY AS POSSIBLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PULLED. IT COULDN'T BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A DISTANCE OF A HALF-MILE, AND HALF-MILE FURTHER IS A SIGNAL AND CROSS TRAFFIC. TERRIFIED, WE WRESTLED THE VEHICLE OFF HIGHWAY ONTO A SIDE ROAD, AND GRADUALLY GROUND TO A HALT, BURNING THE BRAKES. WITH THE ENGINE RACING, IT WAS PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE, THEN IT STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY. TOWED TO HONDA THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG EVEN WHEN THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER INSPECTED IT. WE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE. WE WOULDN'T FOIST THIS VEHICLE ON ANY ONE ELSE EXCEPT HONDA BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE SO WE RELUCTANTLY TRADED IT IN FOR AS NEW ONE. JUST BECAUSE HONDA CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE FIFTH HONDA WE HAVE OWNED, BUT WE ARE NOT GREAT FANS OF THE BRAND ANYMORE. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
WITH 23,700 MILES, HONDA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT TIRES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO "EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR". HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY 2011 CRV OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT ALTHOUGH HONDA ISSUED A TSB ON THE TIRE MATTER, THEY HAVE PROVIDED NO CAUSE, RECALL OR MONETARY INCENTIVE. IS IT SUSPENSION, ALIGNMENT, WHAT? FURTHERMORE HAVE BEEN ILL ALL WINTER AND CAR HAS HARDLY MOVED FROM THE GARAGE, IT WORRIES ME THAT SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THIS TIRE PROBLEM, AND HONDA HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE FOR RESOLUTION OR ASSISTANCE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I WAS STOPPED AT A MARKET AND CLOSED MY DOOR IN A NORMAL FASHION. . THE SEAT BELT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DID NOT RETRACT, AND THE METAL BUCKLE JAMMED IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND BROKE THE LOCK. THE DOOR LOCK WAS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE AIRPORT HONDA DEALERSHIP IN LOS ANGELES CA. STEERING WITH MY LEFT HAND AND HOLDING THE DOOR WITH MY RIGHT HAND,. AN INTAKE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP BY THE NAME OF [XXX], PUT A SCREW DRIVER IN THE MECHANISM AND UNJAMMED THE LOCK. I THOUGHT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. MY DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS I COULD NOT AFFORD THE ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS AT THE TIME . I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED AFTER THE INSPECTION AND REPAIRS WERE MADE. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS IN THE AMOUNT OF $307.00. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH EVERY HOOP THAT HONDA REQUESTED OF ME, I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED IN CASH, HONDA WAS NEVER CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY OR IF THE SEAT BELT WOULD ACTUALLY HOLD UP IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE .MY SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED AND DEEMED DEFECTIVE BY A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON MAJOR HIGHWAY TRAVELING APPROX. 60-65 MPH PASSED A CAR AND THEN TOUCHED THE BRAKES.. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED TO OVER 100 MPH WITH THE R PM'S RED-LINED. I HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET TO TRY TO SLOW IT DOWN AND EVEN WHEN IT DID IT WAS STILL REVVING OFF THE CHARTS. HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND MOST LIKELY WAS "OPERATOR ERROR". I'M TOO SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY AREA AT OR NEAR 15 MPH. WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO A SPEED OF 30-35 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT VERY STIFF AND WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE CAR AT 30 MPH WITH CONSTANT BRAKING. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED NOT FAR FROM MY HOME, SO I PROCEEDED BACK HOME. THE CAR WOULD NOT DECELERATE. I HAVE A VERY LONG DRIVEWAY THAT I PULLED INTO, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURNED OFF THE KEY AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS THE ENGINE WOUND DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SENT A TOW VEHICLE TO PICK UP THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THEM. THEY SAID THEY DROVE THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON THE VEHICLE FINDING NO PROBLEMS AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS. THE INVOICE HOWEVER SHOWED IDENTICAL MILEAGE IN AND OUT OF THEIR FACILITY WHEN IT WAS PICKED UP JAN. 2, 2014. ON FEB. 11, 2014, I WAS IN TRAFFIC STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY RIGHT FOOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE REVVED, THE BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, DOING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNHEARD OF COMPLAINT OR OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, YEAR VEHICLE AS EVIDENCE BUY COMPLAINTS TO YOU. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY DRIVER. THIS IS MY FIRST ACCIDENT IN OVER 50 YRS OF BEING A LICENSED DRIVER. *TR
