LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT STAY OPEN WHEN I USE REMOTE OR KEYLESS ENTRY OR UNLOCK IT MANUAL ON DRIVERS DOOR.... MY STEP SON HAD AN EMERGENCY IN MAY WHERE HE COULDN'T GET IN OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND MANY FOLKS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THEIR HONDA CRV VEHICLE. THIS IS UNSAFE. WHEN I LEAVE AND LOCK VEHICLE , THE PASSENGERS SIDE LOCK STICKS AND STAYS OPEN SOMETIMES TO. IF SOMEONE WERE TO BREAK IN MY CAR AND CHECK THAT DOOR ALL MY BELONGING WOULD BE GONE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED UNLOCKING ON AND OFF WITH EVERY ACCELERATION INCREASE OF 10-15 MPH (MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR OCCUPANTS). IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY OR BY MANUAL PUSH. WORSE, THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM LED TO MY CAR BEING VULNERABLE TO UNLAWFUL ENTRY, AND SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR WAS RANSACKED (ITEMS STOLEN) THIS WEEK AFTER I THOUGHT ALL MY "DEPENDABLE HONDA" DOORS WERE LOCKED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I AM DISGUSTED TO SEE THAT MANY HONDA CR-V (2007 MODEL) DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXACT OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS (UN)LOCKING. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. VERY UNHAPPY!!! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA 2013 CRV. I DID TEST DRIVE THE CAR DURING THE DAY. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT AT NIGHT IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS 8 OUT OF TEN TIMES. IF I HAVE THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING SET TO AUTO THE HIGH BEAMS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE RARELY IF EVER USED THE HIGH BEAMS ON MY OLDER CAR THAT I TRADED IN. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE CRV. I CAN NOT CONTINUALLY DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2008 CRV AND MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING TO KEEP THE DOORS OF THE VEHICLE LOCKED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME OR THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED AND THEY HAVE BURNED OUT AGAIN AND ARE LEAVING THE DOORS OF MY VEHICLE UNLOCKED AT SPEED. I PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON AND THEY LOCK ONLY TO UNLOCK SECONDS LATTER. THEY ONLY SEEM TO HAVE A SERVICE LIFE OF 20K-35K MILES! THIS MEAN EVERY TWO YEARS I HAVE ALL THE LOCKS IN MY CAR FAIL TO REMAIN LOCKED. I HAVE A AMERICAN CAR FROM 1996 AND THE ORIGINAL LOCKS STILL WORK FINE AND STAY LOCKED! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING--A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR BROKEN INTO DUE TO CAR'S INABILITY TO LOCK. IN ADDITION, THE CAR ALARM DOES NOT FUNCTION AS THE MALFUNCTIONING ACTUATOR ON CAR IS SIGNALING THAT CAR IS UNLOCKED WHEN IT IS NOT. HONDA FIXED ACTUATOR ON ONE DOOR, ONLY TO HAVE ANOTHER DOOR MALFUNCTION LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TODAY AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX WHAT IS DEFECTIVE PART SINCE THEY STATE IS NO LONGER UNDER THEIR 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. CAR DOES NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. ONLINE REPORTS OF PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF CARS. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR FIRE, THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM IN ADDITION TO SAFETY. THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED 1-18-13 IN PENNSYLVANIA ON THIS SAME ISSUE FIR CONSUMERS TO BE AWARE OF. TO HAVE HONDA DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IS OF SERIOUS CONCERN!! *TR

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES, SOMETIMES FAIL TO LOCK OR UNLOCK, AND MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENS ON MULTIPLE DOORS IN MY HONDA CRV. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS A HUGE ANNOYANCE. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT IN THE ACTUATORS IS ABOUT $370 PER DOOR. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT. DO NOT BUY A HONDA CR-V. *TR

SEAT BELTS
ON THE MORNING OF MAY 17, 2013, MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND I WERE FLYING OUT OF TOWN. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND OUR DAUGHTER IN THE REAR SEAT. WE HAD A NORMAL DRIVE UP TO THE AIRPORT. WE PARKED AT EXPRESS SOUTH PARKING INSIDE THE DFW AIRPORT TO CATCH THE SHUTTLE TO OUR TERMINAL. WHILE MY WIFE AND I CAME OUT OF OUR CAR AND PUT OUR LUGGAGE IN THE SHUTTLE, MY DAUGHTER DID NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN WE CHECKED ON HER, WE FOUND THAT SHE WAS STUCK IN HER SEAT AND COULD NOT GET OUT. IT WAS A BIG SURPRISE FOR US TO FIND SOMEONE STUCK IN THE CAR SEAT WHO COULD NOT GET OUT. ALTHOUGH SHE HAD REMOVED THE BELT FROM THE BUCKLE, SHE WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE LAP BELT THAT WAS ON HER LAP AND THE SHOULDER STRAP THAT HAD GONE ON HER BACK SIDE. SHE IS OF SHORT HEIGHT (51). WE FOUND THAT THE BELT WAS LOCKED AND IT HAD BECOME A NOOSE AROUND HER WAIST. WE TRIED VERY HARD TO PULL THE BELT TO FREE HER BUT IT WAS VERY TIGHTLY LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE PULLED. THIS CREATED A SITUATION WHERE THE BELT BECAME A NOOSE. IT BECAME A PANIC SITUATION FOR US SEEING OUR CHILD STUCK IN THE CAR AND UNABLE TO MOVE. LUCKILY, AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF TRYING, MY WIFE REALIZED THAT WE HAD A PAIR OF SCISSORS IN OUR LUGGAGE. WE CUT THE BELT TO FREE HER. ALTHOUGH WE WERE LUCKY THAT MY DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURY, THIS PROBLEM WITH BELTS CAN LEAD TO A POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. FOR EXAMPLE, IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE, THE PASSENGER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THIS WILL HAVE SERIOUS AND DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY WIFE HAS A 2013 HONDA CRV AND IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. WHEN SHE GOES FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAMS YOU LOOSE MOST OF THE FOREGROUND ILLUMINATION. ON A DARK ROAD, WHEN YOU NEED AS MUCH LIGHT AS POSSIBLE, THIS CREATES A VERY SCARY EFFECT. THERE IS WITHOUT QUESTION A SAFETY FLAW WITH THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T HELP. I HAD THEM DOCUMENT ON THE SLIP THAT CUSTOMER WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. IN MY OPINION, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE LAST WEEK AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A CASE NUMBER AND SOMEONE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK. WITH ALL THE CHATTER ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE, I'M SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL INDICATE EXACTLY WHEN THIS DANGEROUS FLAW IN THE 2013 HONDA CRV WILL BE PROPERLY CORRECTED. AS OF TODAY, HONDA HAS NOT RESPONDED. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BURNED OUT 6 TIMES FOR EACH SIDE (I'VE REPLACED 6 ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE & 6 ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE) SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 YEARS AGO. THE IRONIC THING IS THAT I USED TO OWN A 2003 CR-V AND I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR THE 2002-2004 MODELS FOR "POTENTIAL FAILURE WITH THE WIRING OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL". I DID A BIT OF RESEARCH AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. BELOW ARE A COUPLE OF LINKS YOU CAN CHECK OUT: 1) HTTP://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/27-MISCELLANEOUS-GENERAL-CR-V-DISCUSSIONS/17512-06-CR-V-HEADLIGHTS-BURNING-OUT-FREQUENTLY.HTML 2) HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-CR-V/TLND3JKAUI93FS68G/P3 I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT MAY BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. *TR

SUSPENSION
2005 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE WHEEL SUSPENSION SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HIS WIFE BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, SHE FELT A CRUNCH AND A DROP COME FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE A FRAME OF THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION FAILED AT THE WELDED ATTACH POINT ON THE SWAY BAR. THE WELD HAD BEEN FAILING FOR SOME TIME AS THERE WAS RUST AND DIRT ON SOME OF THE BROKEN EDGES. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE FRONT CONTROL ARM BROKE, CAUSING THE AXLE TO FAIL AND THE SWAY BAR LINK TO FAIL.
