LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE REAR, DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON MY 2010 HONDA CRV IN THE LATER PART OF 2012 OR EARLY PART OF 2013. THERE IS A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN I LOCK OR UN-LOCK THE DOOR. THE LOCK ITSELF FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY, OFTEN FAILING COMPLETELY TO LOCK AND/OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY-FOB BUT SO FAR IT UNLOCKS/LOCKS WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. WHEN THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR DOESN'T UNLOCK, I CANNOT OPEN THE GATE. I HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE REAR DOOR AND THEN I CAN ACCESS THE GATE, WHICH IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT DANGEROUS. DURING A PREVIOUS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CR-V, A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS AN ACTUATOR(S) FAILING; HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME [ON THIS WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE], THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THE FAULTY PARTS WOULD FALL SOLELY ON ME. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN LAID OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO HAVE FAITHFUL HONDA OWNERS (3 OF OUR 4 VEHICLES ARE HONDAS) BEAR THE BURDEN OF WHAT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT 16800 MILES - VEHICLE MAKES SQUEALING NOISE TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. DEALER FOUND BACKING PLATE SCRAPING AND WHEEL NUT MISSING. BENT BACKING PLATE SO IT WOULD NOT SCRAPE AND REPLACED WHEEL NUT. ALIGNMENT ISSUES CONTINUE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL GETS HOT AFTER SHORT DRIVE AND HAS BURNING SMELL - MILEAGE NOW 25000. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS REPORTED 1000'S OF TIMES BY OWNERS OF HONDA CRVS. WHEN WILL HONDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS? *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BOTH MY SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR IMPACT TO THE CAR. I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS SO STARTLED BY THIS OCCURRING. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I THEN CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BUT GIVE ME AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY CAME TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THEY FOUND NO REASON WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND TOLD ME IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA WITH THIS FINDING AND THEY STILL REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMING THEY WEREN'T LIABLE FOR THE DEFECT. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THERE MAY BE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT AIRBAGS, I AM SIX MONTHS PREGNANT AND AM NOT GOING TO RISK MY LIFE OR MY CHILD'S LIFE BECAUSE OF HONDAS INABILITY TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH AN AIRBAG. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THESE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HOW CAN AIRBAGS DEPLOY WITH NO WARNING OR REASON. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON FULL BEAM ARE HOPELESSLY INADEQUATE AND ARE A SERIOUS DANGER TO DRIVERS WHO LIVE IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS. THE HONDA DEALER TRIED REPLACING BULBS BUT ALL TO NO AVAIL AND HONDA DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN WRESTLING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY, 2013 FROM ZIMBRICK HONDA IN MADISON, WISCONSIN. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO HELP BUT IS UNABLE TO FIX. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. EACH TIME I LOCK IT, ALL THE OTHER DOORS STAY LOCKED EXCEPT THIS DOOR. I CAN NOT MANUALLY LOCK IT, THEREFORE MY CAR IS NOW SUBJECT TO VANDALISM OR THEFT. I AM A SINGLE FEMALE AND THIS TERRIFIES ME THAT WHEN I AM SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT LIGHT SOMEONE COULD EASILY ATTACK ME OR TRY TO STEAL MY CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS READY TO LEAVE WORK WHEN I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY REMOTE I NOTICED THE CAR DIDN'T UNLOCK. I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND STILL NOTHING. I DECIDED TO TRY AND UNLOCK THE CAR MANUALLY WITH THE KEY AND REALIZED THAT WASN'T WORKING EITHER ALL COULD DO AT THAT POINT WAS CALL A LOCKSMITH WHO AFTER SEVERAL TRIES WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR WHICH IN TURN ALLOWED THE REST OF THE DOORS TO UNLOCK. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY AND OFFERED NO OTHER SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I NOTICED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CRV'S 2007 AND NEWER. THERE IS AN ISSUE OF THE DOOR ACTUATORS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AS THE DOORS OPEN OR LOCK ON THEIR OWN. *TR

MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT LOCK. I TOOK MY CR-V INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, USED, 3 MONTHS PREVIOUSLY. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! RECENTLY (11/27/13) MY DOORS ARE NOW STARTING TO UNLOCK AND LOCK ON THEIR OWN AS WELL! I READ THAT THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO OTHER ACTUATIORS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED! I'VE ALWAYS HAD A HONDA BUT IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVED I WILL NEVER AGAIN OWN A HONDA!!! RECALL NOW!!! *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CAUSES VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES BACK TO THE CENTER. THE RAIN WAS MILD TO MODERATE AND THE WIPER PUSHED THE WATER TO THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, AS EXPECTED, THEN AT IT RETURNED TO THE CENTER, IT PULLED WATER BACK OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD SO THAT I COULD NOT SEE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THE WIPER SYSTEM? *TR

VISIBILITY
UPON LEAVING WORK, WIFE HEARD A WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE SUNROOF, AS IF IT WAS OPEN. UPON SLIDING BACK THE COVER (SLIGHTLY), SHE NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED (WITH A BIG HOLE), AND BULGING OUTWARD OR TOWARD THE INTERIOR. SHE WAS NOT AROUND ANY OTHER VEHICLES SO IT IS UNLIKELY THE CAUSE WAS A BOUNCING ROCK OR PEBBLE. UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, THEY REFERRED US TO A LOCAL AUTO GLASS SHOP. UPON CALLING HONDA OF AMERICA, THEY REFERRED US TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. BY THE WAY, THE CAR IS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY. WHAT CAN WE DO? IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, SHOULDN'T IT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2012 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PROVIDE PROPER ILLUMINATION COVERAGE.
