ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DRIVER DOOR HAS STARTED LOCKING ON OWN. I STOPPED TO GET GAS ON A SATURDAY EVENING AND I GOT OUT TO PAY AT THE PUMP, ONLY TO FIND MY CAR HAD LOCKED ITSELF. MY PURSE AND CELL PHONE WAS INSIDE. LUCKILY THE GAS STATION HAD AN ATTENDANT WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO LET ME USE HIS PHONE. I WAS 60 MILES FROM HOME. I COULD NOT FIND A LOCKSMITH TO COME OPEN IT UP ON A SATURDAY EVENING. SO, NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR IN THE CAR, I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ON MY BACK DOOR BECAUSE I HAD TO ASK A NEIGHBOR TO BREAK IN MY HOUSE TO GET THE SPARE KEY, THEN DRIVE 120 MILES ROUND TRIP TO BRING IT TO ME. EVEN WITH THE SPARE KEY, IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO GET THE DOOR TO OPEN BECAUSE IT WOULD EITHER NOT UNLOCK OR IMMEDIATELY RE-LOCK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE-AS AFTER ALL THIS ORDEAL TO GET HOME, THE CAR WOULD THEN NOT UNLOCK TO LET ME OUT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I STEPPED OUT OF MY CAR WHILE IT WAS RUNNING AND THE CAR LOCKED ITSELF. I HAD TO WALK HOME, GET THE SPARE KEY, AND THEN WALK BACK TO MY CAR. THEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE SPARE KEY, MANUALLY OR BY PUSHING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. I ALSO TRIED THE VALET KEY--IT WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. THE DRIVERS' DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT HAS A KEY LOCK ON IT SO I COULDN'T TRY THE KEY IN ANY OF THE OTHER DOORS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY HONDA. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING WHILE IN PARK, BEFORE YOU CAN GRAB THE HANDLE, PREVENTING YOU FROM OPENING THE DOOR. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AT SPEEDS OF 5 TO 10 MPH, THE DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK/UNLOCK RANDOMLY MAKING ANNOYING LOUD CHATTERING NOISE. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS PASSENGER SAFETY AND CAN BE A HINDRANCE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY EGRESS DURING UNSAFE SITUATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE SUMMER WHEN I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL OF SMOKE IN MY VEHICLE. WITHIN 5 MINUTES MY AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THEY SHOWED ME WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE AIR THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSING UNIT OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT,THEY STATED THAT THE HOLE WAS BLOWN IN THE UNIT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AFTER THAT. THE MECHANICS THERE SAID THAT I MUST HAVE RUN INTO A PIECE OF METAL. THEN, OFF THE RECORD, THEY STATED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD THEIR AC'S GO OUT IN THE SAME WAY AND THAT HONDA WOULD PROBABLY BE RECALLING THEM. I RESEARCHED IT A LITTLE AT THE TIME AND GOT NO-WHERE WITH HONDA. HONDA STATED SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. AT THE TIME I GAVE UP...HOWEVER, WITH ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENTS THAT I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THAT ARE UN-CHARACTERISTIC AND UNTIMELY FOR A HONDA, AND WITH ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS BY BOTH HONDA AND NON-MECHANICS...I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENTIRE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WAS PUT IN SIDEWAYS BY DESIGN AND THAT DESIGN CAUSES MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE COMPONENTS. I ACTUALLY HAD ONE REPUTABLE GARAGE REFUSE TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS SO POORLY DESIGNED AND DIFFICULT TO WORK ON. SADLY, I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. AND I HAVE HAD 5 HONDA'S PRIOR TO THIS ONE, BOUGHT THIS ONE NEW, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY ENOUGH HAD HONDA OWNED UP TO THE PROBLEMS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD GOING 60 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD LIKE A EXPLOSION SOUND AND IT MADE US SCARED AND MADE US NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT WE HAVE PUT 3 COMPRESSORS TOTAL. 2 COMPRESSOR ALONE AND ANOTHER COMPRESSOR WITH THE WHOLE THINGS LIKE FANS, RADIATOR,FOR AIR CONDITIONER HOSE,ETC, EVERYTHING. VERY COSTLY AND REGARDLESS IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I THINK IF IT MAKES THAT EXPLOSION SOUND THAT STUFF COMES OUT TO THE AIR. HONDA ERRORS ARE COSTING THE CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIX AND REFUNDED IF POSSIBLE. I BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2006 AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE SO THAT HONDA FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS BLACK DEATH ISSUE THAT'S WHAT THE COMPLAINERS AND MECHANICS ARE CALLING IT. I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL WITH THIS ECONOMY ITS SUCH A HARDSHIP. AND LIVING IN FLORIDA THE HEAT IS UNBEARABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK. I TRIED THE REMOTE, THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON ON THE DOOR, AND EVEN MANUALLY LOCKING. NOTHING WORKED. THEN, YESTERDAY, THE OPPOSITE BEGAN. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. AGAIN, TRYING ALL MEANS OF LOCKING AND NOTHING KEEPS IT LOCKED. IT WILL INITIALLY LOCK, BUT SLOWLY UNLOCKS. AS I'M DRIVING, IT WILL TRY TO LOCK AGAIN AT 9 MPH, BUT DOESN'T HOLD. SO, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I GET TO HEAR MY DOOR LOCKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL ISSUE. MY DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING WARM AIR NOT COOL OR COLD AT ALL. I TOOK IT INTO HONDA DEALER... IT WILL COST ME $900 TO REPLACE IT. I AM NOT TO USE IT AT ALL BECAUSE IT MIGHT IMPLODE OR EXPLODE... I WAS CALLED BY THE HONDA SALES DEPT WHEN I GOT HOME... I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS ON A FIXED INCOME AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. (RETIRED). SO NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR , I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. THEN I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THE HONDA CRVS 2002 - 2004 BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AND MANY OTHER CRV YEARS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! NOT JUST THE 2002 -2004S. WHY DIDN'T HONDA RECALL ALL OF THE AIR COMPRESSORS... MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YRS OLD. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS MY BAD LUCK AT FIRST UNTIL I WENT ONLINE AND SAW ALL THE COMPLAINTS REG THE COMPRESSORS! CAN SOMETHING BE DONE TO HELP US OUT? THIS IS DANGEROUS. I CANNOT EVEN USE THE FAN FOR AIR FLOW UNTIL IT IS FIXED... I DON'T WANT IT IMPLODING OR EXPLODING! HELP *TR

IN MARCH OF 2013 THE PASSENGER DOOR STARTED TO LOCK ITSELF IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ME UNLOCKING IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUSE PROBLEM. THEN ON MAY 26,2013 MY CHILD NOTICED THAT THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR HAD BEGUN TO DO THE SAME THING. TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON BOTH DOORS WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $440+. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH ALL CRVS AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I COULD NOT UNLOCK MY CAR AND I HAD TO CALL AAA TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE, I GOT A TICKET FOR PARKING DURING STREET SWEEPING TIME. THE KEY SEAMS TO BIND INTO THE LOCK AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. I TOOK MY CR-V IN TO MILLER HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY QUOTED ME A VERY HIGH PRICE TO FIX THE LOCKS, I REFUSED THE SERVICE AND THE SERVICE WRITER GAVE ME A REFERRAL TO A LOCKSMITH WHO DID THE JOB FOR A FIFTH OF THE PRICE THE DEALERSHIP HAD QUOTED. THIS WAS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE LOCKSMITH ABOUT A YEAR LATER TO HAVE THE SAME WORK DONE. NOW I HAVE GO BACK FOR A THIRD TIME. I HAVE HAD TO SPEND $250.00 ON MY LOCKS. THIS SITUATION OF THE LOCKS BINDING COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR A WOMAN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR QUICKLY. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING, BEFORE YOU CAN GRAB THE HANDLE, PREVENTING YOU FROM OPENING THE DOOR. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A MINOR PROBLEM BUT IF THE PASSENGER NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF ACCIDENT, FIRE OR WATER THEN THEY WILL HAVE NO CHANCE AND COULD SUFFER SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FROM READING INCIDENT REPORTS ON THIS SITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING RANDOM INCIDENTS SINCE I GOT THE CAR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO WHERE THE GAS PEDAL HAS ACCELERATOR ISSUES. USUALLY FROM EITHER A STOP OR SLOW MOVING, I ACCELERATE AND THERE IS NOTHING FOR A FEW SECONDS, A HESITATION, WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAVE ALSO ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS WHILE TRYING TO TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND LOSING ACCELERATION WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO SERVICE AND AM TOLD THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO CAN'T FIX IT. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED DRIVING THIS CAR AS IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND THERE IS NO EXPLANATION HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE I WORK WITH HAS THE SAME CAR BUT A 2013 AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 55 TO 60 MPH ON THE FWY. I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN I SAW 2 CARS THAT WERE AT A DEAD STOP IN MY LANE WAY AHEAD OF ME, THEY JUST SAT THERE SO I HIT MY BRAKES HARDER & MY BRAKES LOCKED UP. MY CAR THEN WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND I TRIED MY BEST TO CONTROL IT. I DID MANAGE TO KEEP MY CAR FROM ROLLING. MY CAR WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH ON 2 WHEELS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I WAS ALSO SPINNING AND FISHTAILING AND THE BACK END OF MY CR-V (PASSENGER SIDE) HIT THE BACK END OF THE DRIVER SIDE OF A SEDAN IN THE #3 OR #4 LANE. THAT IMPACT SENT MY CR-V STRAIGHT INTO THE CEMENT CENTER DIVIDER OF THE FREEWAY. I HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER HEAD ON AND WENT UP AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO GO OVER IT ONTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT MY CR-V CAME BACK DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CENTER DIVIDER WITH THE SMASHED UP BUMPER FACING THE CENTER DIVIDER. MY CR-V HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER HARD ENOUGH FOR MY BODY TO BEND THE STEERING WHEEL BACK. NOT ONE OF MY 4 AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I HAD THIS CR-V IN THE HONDA DEALER 14 DAYS EARLIER TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG RECALL (I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK DETAILING THIS) I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INJURIES FROM HITTING AND BENDING THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO CHIPPED 3 TEETH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND THE BENT METAL AROUND IT. THE CHP OFFICERS, TOW TRUCK DRIVER, THE PERSON THAT I HIT AND THE BODY SHOP PERSONNEL ALL HAVE THE SAME QUESTION THAT DO; THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF, WHY DIDN'T IT AND WHY WAS I INJURED? I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. HONDA HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF CR-V, YET THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT THEM. THE SEAT BELTS, & THE AIRBAGS DEFINITELY MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES LOCKING UP ON ME AND I THINK THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OR WHEELS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS W/ANY OF MY 4 HONDAS PAST. *TR

HONDA OWNER AND DRIVER FOR OVER 15 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY VERY UNHAPPY WITH CURRENT HONDA CRV WHERE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK UNLOCKED BY ITSELF A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE THE CAR WAS IN A MOVING STATE WITH PASSENGER SEATED IN CRV ALONG WITH SEAT BELT ON. NOW MY CRV PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. LOCK CLICKS SOUNDS AROUND 10 MILES AND TRIES TO LOCK THEN UNLOCKS BY ITSELF. I AM NOW AN UNHAPPY HONDA OWNER. *TR
