THE DOOR LOCK ON THE REAR LEFT DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED NO MATTER WHAT I DO OR HOW I TRY TO LOCK IT, EVEN IF I PUT IN DRIVE & ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE REAR DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF. THIS IS A SAFETY & SECURITY ISSUE! *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HONDA CRV WAS BROKEN INTO WHILE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA. I WAS ONLY ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR BUT WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY THE ALARM. I CAME BACK TO SEE GLASS ALL OVER THE FLOOR, MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS GONE FROM THE CAR. AS A PREVIOUS OWNER OF A NEWLY PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY, I FELT THAT THE CAR HAD ALARM AS THE KEY HAS REMOTE LOCK AND AND UNLOCK FUNCTIONS AND THE CAR EVEN SOUNDED A FAMILIAR ARMING SOUND WHEN REMOTELY LOCKED. WHEN I WENT INTO A DEALER IN FLORIDA TO INQUIRE WHY THE ALARM DID NOT WORK, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD PASSIVE ALARM, WHICH MEANS THAT THE ALARM SHOULD SOUND IF THE GLASS IS BROKEN. UPON RETURNING TO NEW YORK, I WENT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR HAS NO ALARM, AND THAT THE FAMILIAR SOUND IS JUST TO INDICATE TO ME THAT ALL FOUR DOORS ARE LOCKED! AT NO TIME DURING THE SALES TRANSACTION WAS I TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS NO ALARM OR THAT I NEEDED TO PURCHASE AN ALARM. *TR

THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY LOCKS ITSELF AFTER BEING UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY FAB. THE DOOR KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WHEN INSERTED AND TURNED. THE DOOR DOES THE SAME THING WHEN BEING UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE WITH THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOORS. AS SOON AS YOU UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE BUTTON IT LOCKS ITSELF. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT TO YOUR AGENCY. MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT NUMBERS: 10561753, 10560625, AND 10548352. MY CR-V HAS AN UNWANTED ACCELERATION PROBLEM. AS I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASES AND REQUIRES VERY HARD BRAKING AND SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS EXAMINED BY A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE WHO REPORTED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS OPINION IS BASED ON THE PROBLEM NOT OCCURRING DURING THE DAY THEY HAD THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY DAY OR EVEN EVERY WEEK. I TOLD THEM THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE MAY BE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT. MY CONTACTS TO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS HAVE RESULTED IN BEING TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA AND NOT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. I FEEL THAT AN ACCIDENT WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TIRES, WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT HONDA CR-V 2014 ON OCT 31ST 2013. WITHIN (FIRST) WEEK LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. I THOUGHT DEALERSHIP DIDN'T PERFORM PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION. SO I WENT THERE AND THEY SAYS LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT TRIGGERS DUE TO COLD WEATHER. THEY RESET IT. AFTER FEW DAYS/MILES AGAIN LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON (SECOND TIME) AND THEY SAID THIS TIME WE ARE PERFORMING DIFFERENT RESET PROCEDURE. I ASKED FOR $0.00 INVOICE AS THERE ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY SAID WE CAN'T GIVE YOU INVOICE IF WE ARE NOT CHARGING YOU. NOW I WAS LIKE IT SHOULD NOT COME ON AGAIN AS THEY PERFORMED DIFFERENT RESET PROCEDURE, BUT IT COMES ON AGAIN (THIRD TIME) AFTER 500 OR 600 MILES. THIS TIME THEY CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND PERFORM ANOTHER RESET PROCEDURE AND KEEP CAR WITH THEM FOR A DAY TO INSPECT. THEY ALSO ISSUED $0.00 INVOICE. NOW I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE FINE, BUT AGAIN I WAS WRONG. IT COMES ON (FORTH TIME). NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT'S "SOFTWARE ISSUE" AND AMERICAN HONDA IS WORKING ON IT. (DEC END OR JAN FIRST WEEK) THEY ALSO SAID HONDA IS REQUESTING TIME FRAME AND IT SHOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF JAN 2014. TODAY IS FEB 19 2014 AND ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED YET. I TRIED FOLLOW UP MY DEALER AND HONDA MANY TIMES AND THEY ARE KEEP SAYING SAME THING, WE ARE WORKING ON IT. SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT CAR LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON MORE THAN 10 TIMES NOW AND ALL TIME I DID TIRE PRESSURE CHECK WITH SAME DEALER AND IT WAS OKAY ALL THE TIME. NOW I AM TIRED OF FOLLOWING UP WITH MY DEALER, HONDA AND KEEP WATCHING LIGHT (!) ON. NEVER FEEL LIKE DRIVING NEW CAR. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED MY DEALER, WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF TIRE BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING? THEY SAID ITS OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE. DEAR HONDA WE DIDN'T BOUGHT CAR TO KEEP IN GARAGE. I HAVE MOST OF THE MILEAGE PROOF IN PICTURES AT THE TIME LIGHT COMES ON AND WENT TO DEALER FOR RESET. *TR

ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT DID STATE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING MORE THAN 2.5 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL WITHIN A 15 DAY SPAN. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,492.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I TURNED LEFT WITH THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AT A STOP LIGHT. ONCOMING CAR FAILED TO BREAK, RAN A RED, AND HIT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL, ON-COMING BETWEEN 40 AND 45 MPH. FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, DRIVER SIDE DID NOT. UPON COLLISION, I JOLTED FORWARD AND AFTER WE STOPPED MOVING, I NOTICED THAT THE MALE BUCKLE WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE FEMALE BUCKLE IN MY (DRIVER-SIDE) APPARATUS. I CONSIDER MYSELF VERY LUCKY THAT I WASN'T HURT, AND AM NOT UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BELT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE THAT WAY. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I AM 2ND OWNER OF THIS 2002 HONDA CRV-EX MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN FOR OUR LEFT HAND DRIVE (RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD) AMERICAN MARKET. CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 149,500. RECENT 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO CORRECT FRONT TIRE WEAR AND RETURN TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS HAS RESULTED IN VIOLENT PULL/TORQUE STEER TO RIGHT UPON ACCELERATION. DRIVING AT CRUISING SPEED REQUIRES STEERING CAR TO LEFT TO CONTROL CONSTANT PULL TO RIGHT. THIS IS NOT A ROAD CROWN ISSUE. I SEE FROM MY OWN INTERNET SEARCHES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR NUMEROUS YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE NOT YET FOUND ANY COMPLAINTS ON FILE HERE. MANY CONSUMER STORIES FOUND ELSEWHERE DOCUMENT THAT A HONDA DEALER WON'T EVEN CONSIDER ASSISTING THIS PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY (LIKE MINE...). EVEN SO, MANY OTHER STORIES HAVE THE DEALER SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IF THE ALIGNMENT MEETS THE VEHICLE'S PUBLISHED ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. I AM TRYING TO GET A COPY OF A HONDA TSB THAT MIGHT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, BUT ACCESS TO HONDA MANUFACTURER WEBSITES IS BLOCKED ON ACCESSING TSB'S AND EVEN THIS USGOV SERVICE APPEARS TO REQUIRE PAYING FOR SUCH CRITICAL INFORMATION. I WILL KEEP LOOKING AND HOPE THAT THERE IS A DEFINITIVE CORRECTION TO THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE BEHAVIOR AND I HOPE NHTSA WILL TAKE HONDA TO TASK ON THIS ISSUE FOR MANY CRV OWNERS. I SUGGEST NHTSA DO ITS OWN GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM AS A STARTING POINT. THANX!! *TR

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON THE 2014 CR-V IS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT AND IT IS NOT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE SEAT IS EMPTY OR OCCUPIED BY A CHILD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE THIS IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF HOW EVERY OTHER CAR IMPLEMENTS THIS. HOWEVER, THIS IS HOW IT IS WRITTEN IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS NORMAL BY MY CAR DEALER. THIS IS STUPID TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS--AN ILLUMINATED DISPLAY THAT STATES: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHTS WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT AND THE AIR BAG IS ACTUALLY ON. AN ELDERLY OR INFIRM PERSON MIGHT SIT IN THAT SEAT AND THINK THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF SO IT IS SAFE. A PARENT MIGHT REFUSE TO LET A CHILD SIT IN THE SEAT FOR FEAR THE AIRBAG WAS ON. THIS IS REALLY DUMB. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR COMES WITH A BATTERY OF INSUFFICIENT SIZE AND AN INADEQUATE CHARGING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED JUMP STARTING AFTER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH A FAIRLY NEW BATTERY. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AFTER 3 MONTHS AND AGAIN AT 6 MONTHS. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS INCLUDE TURNING OFF ECONMODE, RIDING IN D3 OR 2ND, OR TAKING LONG RIDES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WAS NOT ADVERTISED AS BEING THIS DEFECTIVE FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING. IT ALSO HAS POOR HIGH BEAMS AND FREEZING WINDSHIELD WASHERS. *TR

WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A NEW 2014 HONDA CR-V AWD EX-L WITH NAVIGATION FROM RAY PRICE IN EAST STROUDSBURG ON OCT. 12, 2013 FOR $31,000.00. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE HAD CAR INTO CLINTON HONDA IN ANNANDALE, NJ FOR TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. (MILEAGE 143). CLINTON HONDA FOUND ALL TIRE PRESSURES GOOD AND RESET LIGHT. LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON ABOUT 3 TIMES WEEKLY EVEN THOUGH TIRE PRESSURES WERE GOOD. WENT TO RAY PRICE 12/28/13 (MILEAGE 5027) AND EXPLAINED SITUATION. RAY PRICE RAN CODES, WHICH ALL CAME UP CLEAR AND THEY RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AGAIN. NEXT DAY, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. 1/4/14 BACK TO RAY PRICE, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON AGAIN. RAN CODES AGAIN AND CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AGAIN, BOTH WERE GOOD. THE TECH SAID IT MUST BE A RF SIGNAL AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA 1/30/14 AND 1/31/14 ABOUT ISSUE. AMERICAN HONDA STATED THAT THEY ARE AWAITING A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THIS ISSUE. SOFTWARE UPDATE SHOULD BE RELEASED BY END OF FEBRUARY, BUT NO GUARANTEES. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CLOSE TO 90% OF THE TIME SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. ONCE THE LIGHT COMES ON IT NEEDS TO BE RESET BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO OUT ON ITS OWN. HAVING THE TIRE PRESSURE COMING ON FALSELY CONSTANTLY IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. RAY PRICE CONTACTED ME ON 2/12/14 STATING THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS AVAILABLE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN ON 2/14/14. AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR FROM THE APPOINTMENT I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND THE TIRES WERE OVERINFLATED BY THE DEALER TO 35 PSI INSTEAD OF THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED 30 PSI. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THEIR QUICK FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESOLUTION. OVERINFLATED TIRES MAKE YOUR VEHICLE RIDE HARSHLY, ARE MORE PRONE TO ROAD HAZARDS, WEAR UNEVENLY. THIS IS RIGHT OUT OF HONDAS OWNERS MANUAL. MY MECHANIC ALSO SAYS THAT THIS ALSO INCREASES THE CHANCES OF HYDROPLANING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING HER 2003 HONDA CR-V ONTO THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE FROM THE ON-RAMP, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL ABOVE NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED. THE BRAKE ONLY SLOWED IT PARTIALLY, SO SHE TRIED TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR WHICH RELEASED. ALARMED BY THIS SHE GOT IT SERVICED WHERE MECHANIC BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON BUILDUP OF DEPOSITS ON THE THROTTLE PLATE, WHICH THEY CLEANED, AND DID OTHER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I WAS LEAVING THE SUPERMARKET ON AN VERY COLD DAY OF ABOUT 10F. I STARTED THE CAR IN PARK, AT WHICH POINT THE THROTTLE WENT TO MAXIMUM BY ITSELF, AT VERY HIGH REVS. FORTUNATELY IT WAS STILL IN PARK. I TRIED ALL KINDS OF TAPPING ON AND AROUND THE ACCELERATOR. I INSPECTED THE ACCELERATOR AREA FOR A STUCK FLOOR MAT OR A FOREIGN OBJECT, BUT FOUND NOTHING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, BUT WHEN I TURNED IT ON, IT CONTINUED TO REV AS IF FLOORED. THE SECOND TIME I TURNED IT OFF AND ON, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. IT DROVE NORMALLY FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. FINALLY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY DIVIDED HIGHWAY WITH MANY BUSINESSES WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK OPEN AGAIN. THE CAR SPED UP TO DANGEROUS SPEED, AND STOMPING ON THE BRAKE ONLY PARTLY SLOWED IT. SHE SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR WHICH ACTUALLY MADE IT SPEED UP. SHE WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH STOPPED CARS. NOT WANTING TO HIT A COLUMN OF STOPPED CARS, SHE STEERED INTO A THICK SNOWBANK BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HOPING TO STOP IT NON-DESTRUCTIVELY. BUT THE HONDA DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT A TELEPHONE POLE VERY HARD, WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND TOTAL VEHICLE LOSS. SHE ESCAPED WITH ONLY MINOR BRUISES. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE TPMS ICON (LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING) ON NEW HONDA CR-V (2014) COMES ON ABOUT EVERY 30-50 MILES EVEN THOUGH, WHEN I CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURES, THEY ARE ALL WITHIN 0.5 PSI OF THE RECOMMENDED (30 PSI) SETTINGS. IN SHORT, THE TPMS IS GIVING FALSE WARNINGS THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELY ON. OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS, HAVING THE SAME FLAW, HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE WARNING AS HAD TIRE BLOWOUTS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND HE SIMPLY RESETS THE TPMS WARNING ICON ---- AND, AS SOON AS I DRIVE 30 MILES OR SO THE IDIOT LIGHT COMES ON. THE PURPOSE OF MANDATING THE TPMS WARNING WAS TO SAVE LIVES BUT, IF THE ICON PROVIDES FALSE WARNINGS THEY WILL BE IGNORED AND BLOWOUTS CAN HAPPEN. THIS DEFECTIVE TPMS CAN RESULT IN INJURIES AND ACCIDENTS. YET HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. TO MY CALCULATIONS (AND THROUGH AN ABBREVIATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THROUGH DEALER), THE VEHICLE IS BURNING 1/2 A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES (NO LEAKS). BEFORE NOTICING BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THE CAR WOULD GO ALMOST DRY BETWEEN CHANGES. THE OIL LIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND THEN GO OFF, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS LESS THAN A QUART OF OIL IN THE CAR. THE DEALER CLAIMS HAVING TO ADD 1/2 QUART TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS CONSIDERED NORMAL CONSUMPTION. HONDA OF AMERICA CLAIMS THE SAME. HONDA OF AMERICA HAD NO ANSWER FOR ME AS TO WHY THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT REMAIN ON WHEN CAR WAS RUNNING VERY LOW ON OIL. HONDA OF AMERICA ALSO HAS NO ANSWER AS TO WHY IF THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL CONSUMPTION THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL TO WARN THE CONSUMER THAT THEY MAY WANT TO CHECK THEIR OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THEY WILL TAKE NO OWNERSHIP OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SITUATION. *TR

DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK WITHOUT PROMPTING. DOORS ALSO MAKE AWFUL NOISE WHEN THEY LOCK AND UNLOCK WHENEVER THEY WANT. THE KEY ALSO DOES NOT WORK TO UNLOCK THE DOOR ANY LONGER. I HAD TO ALWAYS LEAVE A WINDOW DOWN BECAUSE YOU COULD BE LOCKED OUT EVEN WITH THE KEYS IN YOUR HAND. I HAD THIS FIXED BACK IN APRIL 2013 AT MY OWN EXPENSE SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE: YOU CAN BE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. ALSO, WITH THE DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING IT CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR CHILDREN RIDING IN THE CAR. *TR
