STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
2002 HONDA CRV: I WAS MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP LIGHT, INTO THE FREEWAY ON RAMP, AND I HEARD A LOUD GEAR DRAGGING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE CAR AND IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER JUST AS I WAS ASCENDING ON TO THE ON RAMP, HOWEVER THE ENGINE STALLED AND SMOKE WAS VISIBLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR ON NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. IT WAS NERVE RACKING WITH MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. I NOTICED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I INSPECTED ALL THE FLUID LEVELS AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS FROM AN AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED THE ACCESSORY BELT TO DRAG AND STALL THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT AC WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAMS & FOG LIGHTS WORK WELL . BUT THE HIGH BEAMS ARE AWFUL // USING HIGH BEAMS WE HAVE A 30 TO 40 YARD FIELD OF DARKNESS IN FRONT OF US .COULD NOT SEE IF ANYTHING OR ANYONE RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR . VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING NORMALLY NOTHING CAN BE DONE. HONDA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WON'T OPEN AND I HAD PROBLEMS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. THEN WHEN THE CAR WAS ALL LOCKED, I COULDN'T OPEN THE CAR, EVEN WITH THE ACTUAL KEY INSIDE. IT TOOK LEAVING THE CAR AND LETTING IT REST TO FINALLY GET INSIDE THE CAR WITH THE KEY. WHILE DRIVING THE LOCKS KEPT OPENING AND LOCKING INSIDE THE CAR. NOT VERY SAFE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
PASSENGER SIDE DOOR: I CAN UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB AND THEY WILL RE-LOCK THEMSELVES WITHIN 2 SECONDS. FEW DAYS AGO I WENT INTO PHARMACY AND LEFT MY 8 YEAR OLD NIECE IN THE CAR TO PICK UP FEW THINGS. CAME BACK OUT IN ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES AND SHE WAS CRYING HER EYES OUT YELLING AND SCREAMING. I ASKED HER WHAT HAPPENED AS I ENTERED THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. SHE COULDN'T SPEAK FOR FEW MINUTES BECAUSE OF TEARS. SHE TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR AND SHE GOT SCARED. ENTIRE FAMILY IS HONDA AND ACURA LOYAL CUSTOMERS. MY FAMILY HAD ENOUGH HONDA PROBLEMS WITH THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD BRAKES MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES AFTER REPLACING BRAKE PADS 2 TIMES. 2003 ACURA TL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. REPLACING 2007 CRV DIFFERENTIAL FLUIDS NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOW A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS. I HAD ENOUGH. GOOD BYE HONDA! *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
WHILE DRIVING, I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING DUE TO THE SOUND THAT I WAS HEARING. I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AT 10,000 MILES, AND MENTIONED THE NOISE TO THE ADVISER. I TOLD HIM THE SOUND STARTED AT ABOUT 9500 MILES AND APPEARED TO BE GETTING LOUDER AT 10,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR ANY OTHER COMPONENTS OTHER THAN A WHEEL BEARING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. NO ONE LOOKED AT THE AREA TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS INDEED THE WHEEL BEARING. MY TIRES WERE ROTATED ALONG WITH THE OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD MY TIRES WERE FINE AND WEARING EVENLY. NOTHING WAS CHECKED OR DONE TO SPECIFICALLY SEE OR KNOW IT WAS/IS A WHEEL BEARING. I HAD TO REMIND THE ADVISER ABOUT THE NOISE I HAD BEEN HEARING. MY CAR WAS TEST DRIVEN BY THE FOREMAN TO HEAR THE NOISE. HE DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS IN THE CAR. HE STARTED SWERVING THE CAR. HE THEN STATED IT WAS DEFINITELY A WHEEL BEARING. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WHEN I MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF THE OTHER BEARINGS GOING, HE SAID UNLIKELY BUT WOULD CHECK THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BEARING. THE PART WASN'T IN STOCK AND HAS TO BE ORDERED AND I HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 09/17/2013 TO HAVE THEM CHECK/REPAIR THE WHEEL BEARING(S). SEEMS ODD FOR THE WHEEL BEARINGS TO GO AFTER ONLY ABOUT 9500 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR WAS PARKED AND MY FRIEND WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT SETTING OFF THE ALARM. I GOT INTO THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT EVEN AFTER LOCKING THE DOORS. THE FRONT PASSENGER LOCK WOULD SLOWLY OPEN AND DOES NOT STAY LATCHED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND BY THE AMOUNT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IS NOT UNIQUE TO MYSELF. OF COURSE IT HAPPENED THE MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY 2005 HONDA CRV NEW AND REALLY LIKE THE CAR. SINCE ABOUT 2008, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE REPLACED! AT FIRST, IT WAS EVERY FEW MONTHS BUT NOW, IT'S EVERY 6-8 WEEKS! I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT RECALLS AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SOME 2005 VEHICLES, MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IN ORDER TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA, I HAVE TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WILL COST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. THE LABOR COST TO ACCESS THE HEADLIGHTS IS EXTENSIVE, ACCORDING TO MY DEALER. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT OTHER CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED AS PART OF A RECALL BUT MINE ISN'T. AT WHAT POINT WILL HONDA THINK THAT MAYBE MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2004 HONDA CR-V. I HAD MY AC ON AND IT BEGAN TO GRIND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MOTOR, BUT SOON REALIZED IT WAS MY AIR CONDITIONER UNIT. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. COST FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC - $106.00 COST TO FIX IT: $4000.00 DIAGNOSIS:A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED. ALL THE A/C PARTS ARE INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED WITH METAL FROM THE COMPRESSOR. NEEDS A/C KIT (C) AND CLUTCH AND COIL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING ONLINE AND MANY 2003 AND 2004 HONDA CRV'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL. I DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY TO SPEND, YET NEED AIR CONDITIONING. IS THIS FAIR FOR HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE AND COST THEIR FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS SO MUCH MONEY WHEN THIS PROBLEM DID EXIST IN THOSE YEAR MODELS? CAN YOU HELP? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO MY HONDA 2007 CRV UNLOCKS BY ITSELF, EVEN AFTER I LOCK IT WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO 10 MPR IT WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK BY ITSELF. NOW, THE DOOR ONLY LOCKS ITSELF, EVEN IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED, IT LOCKS AGAIN, BUT NOW A ANNOYING SQUEAKING LOUD NOISE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE COST IS $375. I AM HOPING NO MORE DOORS WILL NEED REPAIRS TO THE DOOR ACTUATOR AS 4 DOORS @ 375 = A LOT OF MONEY. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
FIRST ISSUE WAS RELATED TO FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR LOCK. THE LOCK CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE REAR PASSENGER LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHEN I WENT ABOVE OR BELOW 10 MILES PER HOUR. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE DOOR ACTUATOR AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE NOT DONE THAT TO DATE BECAUSE I VIEWED IT AS MORE NUISANCE THAN SAFETY RELATED. AFTER REVIEWING SOME ONLINE INFORMATION I REALIZED MY FIRST ASSUMPTION MAY BE INCORRECT. I CALLED HONDA NATIONAL TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD ON THIS ISSUE AND POSSIBLE REMEDIES. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS ONLY A THREE YEAR WINDOW FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES; HOWEVER, SINCE THE CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD, I WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. *TR

ON 08/26/2013 THE FRONT RIGHT DOOR ON MY 2008 HONDA CR-V STARTED TO UNLOCK ITSELF EVEN WHEN IN MOTION. IT WOULD LOCK AND THEN UNLOCK ITSELF AGAIN. I HAD THE HONDA DEALER IN OLD BRIDGE, NJ FIX THE ISSUE A FEW DAYS LATER. THEN ON 09/11/2013 ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOCK THEMSELVES IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING. MANY TIMES DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AT ALL MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THE REAR DRIVER'S-SIDE DOOR CONTINUALLY UNLOCKS, EVEN DESPITE THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK, I AM UNABLE TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY WITH AN UNLOCKED DOOR WHILE DRIVING, OR EVEN WHILE PARKED. ALSO, OUR BELONGINGS ARE AT RISK OF THEFT BECAUSE THAT DOOR IS CONSTANTLY UNLOCKED, EVEN WHEN LOCKED BY HAND. DESPITE OUR EFFORTS, THE DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE LOCK IT. *TR
