ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER PUTTING IN GEAR AND STARTING OUT, LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK WILL LOCK THEN UNLOCK ITSELF AND THEN STAY UNLOCKED. IT ALSO UNLOCKS ITSELF AFTER PARKING AND LOCKING THE CAR. UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS AND NO SECURITY WHEN PARKED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOWY ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ONLY PUSH IN PART WAY AND CLICKED LOUDLY. CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL TO BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT WAS MET WITH ONLY VERY LOUD CLICKING, PEDAL DID NOT APPEAR TO GO IN AS FAR AS NORMAL AND NO RESPONSE FROM CAR WHATSOEVER BY SLOWING DOWN. DEBATED WHETHER TO PUSH PARKING BRAKE IN OR TRY PUTTING CAR INTO LOWER GEAR WHEN I BRAKED YET AGAIN AND FINALLY CAR RESPONDED. BRAKING WAS OBVIOUS AND IMMEDIATE. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME STRETCH OF ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RECREATE PROBLEM, BUT CAR CLICKED QUIETLY AND BRAKED IMMEDIATELY. AM CONCERNED THAT ABS SYSTEM WAS FIGHTING FOR CONTROL AND THEREFORE CAR DID NOT BRAKE AT ALL. ROADS WERE SNOWY AND A BIT SLICK, BUT NOT ICY. THIS OCCURRED OVER AN AREA OF ABOUT 100-150 FT.WHERE I ATTEMPTED REPEATEDLY TO BRAKE AND HAD NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN IN SNOWY WEATHER. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES, INCLUDING THOSE WITH ABS AND HAVE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR NOT RESPOND AT ALL. IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGING. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
OUR TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE WE PURCHASED (SEPT 2013) THE VEHICLE. IT CAME ON AS WE LEFT THE DEALER SHIP. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPT 3 TIMES IN OAKLAND AND EACH TIME THEY RESET IT AND TELL US "HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE" AND IT IS A "SOFTWARE ISSUE" THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD GET A RECALL NOTICE AFTER THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR (2014). HONDA IS NOT DISCLOSING THE SAFETY ISSUE OF A PRODUCT THEY HAVE LABELED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. THE INTERNET SHOWS PAGES OF THE SAME ISSUE AND COMPLAINT. HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A HIGHER PRIORITY OR LAW SUITS WILL BE NEXT. WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING STILL, NOT FEELING SO SAFE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL
BLUE OX PATRIOT BRAKING SYSTEM/2013 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BEING TOWED WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKING SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED, TWICE WHILE RETURNING FROM A RECENT TRIP, THE SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED THE BRAKES DOWN ON HIS 2013 HONDA CRAB, THAT WAS BEING TOWED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HE WAS SLOWING DOWN GRADUALLY AND MAKING A SLIGHT TURN FROM ONE LANE TO THE NEXT. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, HE WAS GOING AROUND 30-35 MPH. ON THE SECOND, HE WAS EXITING A BUSY I-95 AND GOING AROUND 55 MPH. THE FULL FORCE PANIC STOP ISSUED BY THE SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKE PRACTICALLY STOPPED HIS MATRON. IT FLAT-SPOTTED ALL OF THE TIRES. THE CONSUMER NOTIFIED BLUE OX, OF THE INCIDENT. THEY AGREED TO ALLOW HIM TO RETURN THE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AN EVALUATION TO DETERMINE WHY THE INCIDENTS MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, HE FINALLY HAD TO CALL THEM, ONLY TO BE INFORMED THE UNIT PASSED ALL THE TESTS AND IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. BLUE OX, RETURNED THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH NO COMMENT. *JB

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION. WE RESIDE IN A RURAL SUBURBAN AREA AND THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE OFF SUFFICIENT ILLUMINATION TO PROPERLY SEE THE ROAD CONDITIONS. WE ARE REVIEWING/CONSIDERING AFTERMARKET LIGHTING TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION. *TR

2013 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TPMS SYSTEM ISSUES. *SMD APPROXIMATELY, 4 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONSUMER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TPMS. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. ON JANUARY 18, 2014 THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR TPMS SENSORS, BUT THAT EVENING THE TPMS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON SINCE THAT TIME. ALSO, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE, THAT OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER START-UP. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY 2014 HONDA CR-V DIRECTLY FROM CONTINENTAL GROUP ANCHORAGE ALASKA, AROUND NOVEMBER 2013, THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, ON JANUARY 2014 THE TIRE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT WENT ON I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER THEY NEEDED TO ADJUST THE PRESSURE AND NOTHING IS WRONG, AROUND 2 WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN THEY SAID THE PRESSURE WAS NORMAL AND WHEN I INSISTED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THEY SAID THERE IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THAT, I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, WHY AS A CUSTOMER I WEREN'T INFORMED ABOUT THAT FROM THE BEGINNING , ALSO CAN'T JUST IGNORE THE LIGHT HOW TO KNOW IF THERE WERE REALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES, I THINK THIS IS REALLY MISLEADING AND FRUSTRATING FOR A CUSTOMER WHO DECIDED TO GO AND BUY A NEW CAR AND A BRAND SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE SAFEST CARS AVAILABLE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS THE DAYS BECAME SHORTER, I WAS DRIVING AFTER DARK AND NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY INADEQUATE. THE LOW BEAMS ONLY PROJECT ABOUT 10 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE (EVEN WITH THE DRIVING LIGHTS ON) AND THE HIGH BEAMS ARE VERY DIM AND OFFER VERY LITTLE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN TURNING, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY SEE THE SIDE ROAD IF THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS. IN RURAL AREAS, THE DIM LIGHTS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WILDLIFE SUCH AS DEER SOON ENOUGH TO SAFELY AVOID THEM. MY CRV HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT POOR LIGHTING FOR MANY YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE PURCHASED HIGH OUTPUT BULBS AND THE IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN MINIMAL. I HAVE CALLED HONDA AND ASKED HOW I COULD OBTAIN THE BETTER HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN EUROPE AND BEEN TOLD THAT I CANNOT. I HAVE ASKED IF DRIVING LIGHTS COULD BE LEFT ON WITH THE HIGH BEAMS AND TOLD NO. THE DEALER OFFERED TO INSTALL POST-MARKET NON-HONDA HEADLIGHTS FOR ME BUT HONDA TOLD ME THAT I WOULD VOID MY WARRANTY. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY HEADLIGHT COMPLAINTS HOWEVER MANY COMPLAINTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. SHE TOOK DOWN MY INFORMATION AND ENTERED IT INTO A COMPUTER AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK - THAT WAS A MONTH AGO. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS - SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND OBVIOUSLY HONDA DOES NOT CARE. THIS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX AS I KNOW THEY HAVE BETTER HEADLIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE IN THE EUROPEAN MARKET. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER, 2013. SINCE DECEMBER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE LOW PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE TIRES KEEPS COMING ON (THE SENSOR HAS COME ON OVER TEN TIMES). THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON THREE DIFFERENT TRIPS BETWEEN SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IT SEEMS TO COME ON ABOUT EVERY 200 MILES. I HAVE GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD THE TIRES CHECKED AND THEY ARE ALL OK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A HONDA FOR ITS SAFETY RATING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO "IGNORE THE SENSOR LIGHT" UNTIL THEY GET THIS FIXED. WHAT IF THE TIRE PRESSURE REALLY IS LOW? HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THE FIX FOR THIS SITUATION A PRIORITY!!! *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER ON THE HONDA CR-V 2012 FREEZES UNDER 30 DEGREES AND DOES NOT WORK TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CR -V IN THE SNOW BECAUSE VISIBILITY COULD BE ZERO AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE SNOW FROM MY CAR. I JUST CAN NOT SEE OUT MY WINDSHIELD.YOU WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD HAVE A BETTER DESIGN FOR THERE NEW CR-V. IN THE SNOW STORM, I HAD TO OPEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND DRIVE HOME LOOKING OUT THAT WINDOW TO GET HOME SAFELY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IN 2014 WE CAN NOT HAVE A CAR WHOSE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER WORKED PROPERLY IN THE SNOW!!!THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NEW 2014 HONDA CRV DIRECT FROM DEALER. AFTER THREE DAYS I BROUGHT BACK THE CRV BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WENT ON. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER.. THEY RESET THE GUIDE. OK FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THEN IT WENT BACK ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A FIX... THAT WAS BACK IN DECEMBER!!! THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2014!!! I ASKED THE SERVICE MAN TO WRITE THAT DOWN FOR ME, SO I HAVE IT ON RECORD. AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 30TH, MY LIGHT REMAINS ON. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WAS STUCK ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT...BECAUSE I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIRE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD!!!!!!! I WANT THIS FIXED! I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A SAFE RELIABLE CAR ..HONDA HAS A GOOD REPUTATION, ... SOMEONE DROPPED THE BALL, AND THE AMERICAN CONSUMER IS PAYING THE PRICE!!! PLS... PLS FIX THIS PROBLEM. MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A TERRIBLE THING, BUT I DIDN'T PAY $30,000 FOR A SLIGHT MISTAKE. *TR

MY DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHENEVER I START TO MOVE AFTER BEING STOPPED. SOMETIMES THEY WILL RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND I NEED TO GET IN, I HAVE TO STAND RIGHT BY IT WITH MY HAND ON THE HANDLE TO PULL WHILE HITTING THE KEY FOB BUTTON BECAUSE IT WILL LOCK ITSELF SO QUICKLY, I HAVE NO TIME TO GET IN THE CAR. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS FIXED ONCE, AND NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO PAY TO FIX THIS AGAIN, BUT IT IS VERY ANNOYING, AND I AM AFRAID OF GETTING STUCK IN OR OUT OF MY CAR AT SOME POINT. *TR

LOW BEAMS KEEP BURNING OUT AFTER 2 TO 4 MONTHS OF USE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAT 3 YEARS. JUST RIDICULOUS. DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACES BULBS AND THE BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT WAY TO QUICKLY. EVEN PURCHASED LONGER LIFE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACED BOTH AT SAME TIME, ONE BULB STILL BURNED OUT WITHIN 3 MONTHS. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHICH MANY ARE EXPERIENCING ON THEIR 2006 CRV. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT FILED WITH NHTSA REGARDING 6 INSTANCES OF UNWANTED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING. SINCE MY LAST COMPLAINT I CONTACTED MY DEALER, BOARDWALK HONDA OF 6807 TILTON ROAD, EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY 609.428.4422. THE DEALER MADE A CONTACT WITH HONDA CORPORATE AND AN APPOINTMENT WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE WAS SET. ON JAN. 27, 2014 THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A FULL DAY. BECAUSE THE UNWANTED ACCELERATION DID NOT OCCUR ON THAT DATE, I WAS GIVEN A REPORT THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CR-V. I HAD EXPLAINED THAT IT ONLY OCCURRED 6 TIMES OVER A 6 MONTH PERIOD AND IT WAS NOT REASONABLE TO EXPECT IT TO OCCUR ON A SPECIFIC DATE DURING THE INSPECTION. I HEARD THAT IT COULD BE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE (PCM), BUT APPARENTLY HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. *TR
