SEAT BELTS
MY SON GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO TAKE HIS WIFE TO PICK UP HER CAR AND THE SEATBELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS LOCKED. WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE COULD THINK OF AND WASN'T ABLE TO UNLOCK IT. LOCAL BODY SHOP COULDN'T GET IT UNLOCKED 1/28/2013 AND SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. JUST WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, IF SO WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED. 100,000 PLUS MILES VEHICLE AT SHOP AT PRESENT TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS THING HAPPENED OVER A YEAR & NOW IT EVEN WORSE. ALL LOCK SYS. WILL AUTO LOCK BY THEMSELVES AFTER I PRESSED UNLOCK FOR 2 SECONDS; WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD, ALL FOUR DOOR-LOCKS MAKE THE SOUND TOO LOUD WITH LOCK & UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES UNTIL I GET HOME. I REMEMBER ONE TIME; WHEN I TOOK A FLYER THAT STUCK ON MY WINDSHIELD BEFORE I DROVE HOME; SUDDENLY, MY DOOR HAD LOCKED BY THE WIND. THAT MADE ME CRAZY TO FIND THE WAY TO OPEN IT BECAUSE MY LITTLE BOY (10 MONTHS) WAS INSIDE & BEING LOCKED! I HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP FROM A LOCKSMITH. FOR 20 MINUTES STANDING OUTSIDE & SEE MY LITTLE BOY'S CRYING WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP HIM!!!!!! NOW : BOTH REAR DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED! WHENEVER I LOCK THEM BY THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. BUT MY FRONT DOORS ARE KEEP LOCKING AFTER TWO SECONDS . I'M SO WORRIED THAT SOME DAY PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT MY SECRET ( ABOUT DOORS NOT LOCKING) & MY CAR WILL BE GONE! I ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO FIX THAT ?? ALMOST $ 400.00 PER DOOR (AFTER TAX) ! HOW CAN I HANDLE THAT AMOUNT FOR THINGS TO BE FIX WHICH THEY ARE NOT MY FAULT! CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FIRST RECORDED INCIDENT WAS AT 82411 MILES, WHEN AFTER REPLACING BOTH HEADLAMPS MULTIPLE TIMES AT MY OWN EXPENSE, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A THIRD PARTY SERVICE CENTER (THAT I'VE USED FOR YEARS ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES) TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT CIRCUITRY EVALUATED (NO PROBLEMS FOUND). AS STATED EARLIER, AS OF THIS TIME, I HAD ALREADY PURCHASED SEVERAL REPLACEMENT BULBS. SINCE THIS TIME, I, AGAIN, HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. OVER ALL, I WOULD SAY THAT IN THE (APPROX) 7 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CRV, I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS APPROX 6-7 TIMES EACH. HAVING SEARCHED THE INTERNET SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS, I FEEL THAT HAVING TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS AS OFTEN AS I HAVE IS UNREALISTIC AND EVIDENCE OF A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE STARTER MAKES A NOISE LIKE THE STARTER IS STAYING ENGAGED AFTER ENGINE HAS STARTED. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AS IT HAPPENS IN WINTER AND SUMMER. STARTER GOT WORSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND FOR THE DEALER TO DO SOMETHING. VEHICLE HAS SURPASSED 36000 MILE WARRANTY SO HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STARTER. WENT TO PERSONAL MECHANIC TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED. *TR ## VIN PASSED ## HONDA CRV 2010 ##

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
PROBLEM STARTED WITH DRIVER-SIDE REAR LOCKS. WOULD NOT ALWAYS LOCK, CONSTANTLY TRIED TO RELOCK ITSELF WHILE DRIVING, AND MADE RATTLING SOUND. PROBLEM HAS SPREAD TO ALL DOORS. DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. PASSENGER-SIDE REAR LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK. HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. OTHER DOORS RELOCK THEMSELVES IMMEDIATELY SO YOU HAVE LESS THAN ONE SECOND TO OPEN DOOR. USING THE KEY ITSELF MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2012, I WAS DRIVING IN DARK AND RAINY CONDITIONS THIS MORNING, TAKING OUR SON TO SCHOOL. I HAD BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS ON, AND I WAS AMAZED THAT THE LIGHTS HARDLY LIT UP THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AT ALL. THE CAR WAS CLEAN AND THE LIGHT LENSES WERE NOT DIRTY AT ALL. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW POOR THE CAR'S FRONT LIGHTING WAS IN THESE CONDITIONS. NORMALLY, WHEN IT WASN'T RAINING, I THOUGHT THE CAR'S LIGHTS WERE SUFFICIENT. NOT GREAT, BUT SUFFICIENT. SINCE HONDA DOES NOT OFFER ANY HIGHER INTENSITY HEAD LIGHT BULBS, I WILL CHECK WITH AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS. HONDA IS KNOWN AS A VERY SAFETY CONSCIOUS CAR COMPANY. HAVING HEADLIGHTS THAT PERFORM SO POORLY IN THE RAIN SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT TO ME. MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TODAY HAVE MUCH BETTER AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS. CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THE 2012 HONDA CR-V EX-L, IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED HIGHER INTENSITY OR EVEN XENON HEADLIGHTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE CAR KEPT SAYING A DOOR WAS OPENED WHEN IT WASN'T AND THEN BECAUSE OF THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T LOCK WHEN I WAS IN IT AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T GO OFF. THEN, IT JUST STOPPED HAPPENING. THEN ON 1/14, EVERY TIME I USED THE BRAKE WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD GO ON. AND THEN WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE THE DOORS WOULD LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. THIS ALL BEGAN THE WEEK AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET NEW TIRES (WHERE THEY RIPPED ME OFF BY CHARGING ME $1,300 TO REPLACE 4 TIRES!). VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
AS SOON AS YOU WOULD UNLOCK THE AUTOMATIC DOORS LOCKS - THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR, IT WOULD QUICKLY LOCK BACK UP, YOU HAD TO FORCE IT TO UNLOCK ONCE IT LOCKED ON ITS OWN, YOU CAN USE THE CLICKER OR THE UNLOCK BUTTON, BUT YOU HAD TO BE VERY QUICK TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK IT - YOU HAD TO HAVE YOUR ONE HAND ON THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE OTHER HAND ON THE UNLOCK BUTTON - OR ELSE YOU CAN'T GET OUT THAT DOOR. ONCE YOU GET TO SPEEDS OF 5 MPH THE DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, THE BACK DRIVER DOOR STARTED TO SLOWLY UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING, WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED, IT WOULD LOCK ONCE YOU GOT TO THE 5 MPH BUT THEN START UNLOCKING AGAIN. I REPLACED THE ACTUATORS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOORS AND NOW THE PASSENGER BACK DOOR LOCK STARTED MAKING NOISES AND IS STARTING TO UNLOCK ON ITS OWN. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IT MUST HAPPEN OFTEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE PARTS FOR IT. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO, SO I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PARTS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE HEADLIGHT FAILURES OVER THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS, ALMOST ALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND DESPITE THIS, THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. LAST TIME IT WAS "FIXED" IT BURNED OUT THE NEXT DAY. LAST FALL, I HAD BOTH LIGHTS BURN OUT WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AFTER AN ON-LINE SEARCH IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY EITHER THE DEALER OR THE NTSB. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
WHILE GOING NORTH ON I-35, 2 MILES SOUTH OF AUSTIN, TEXAS A VERY LOUD NOISE WAS FELT AND HEARD. THE SUNROOF HAD CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF SMALL PIECES AND A LARGE HOLE FORMED AS I DROVE WITH GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME. THE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF HAD EDGES SLOPING UPWARDS INDICATING THE FORCE WENT OUT OF THE CAR BENDING THE GLASS OUTWARDS. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ANY OBJECT HIT THE SUNROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 64F DEGREES. I BELIEVE THE FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF GLASS IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SUNROOF. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I WAS AT THE CABIN FINISHING UP SOME CHORES. WENT TO PUT SOME TOOLS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE HONDA CRV AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE BACK HATCH. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED WITH OUT GREAT DIFFICULTY FROM THE INSIDE AND NOT AT ALL FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE HATCH COULD BE OPENED ALSO ONLY FROM THE INSIDE AFTER CRAWLING OVER THE SEATS AND ONLY AFTER REMOVING THE LATCH PANEL AND MANUALLY FLIPPING THE LATCH. AFTER I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SUCH PROBLEMS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME MODELS OF CRV 2006 AND OLDER HAD A RECALL. OF COURSE MINE IS A 2007. PROBLEMS WITH THE LATCH AND ACTUATOR ARE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE BOTH OF THESE EGRESSES OUT OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE EITHER BY THE OCCUPANTS OR RESCUE PERSONNEL. THE COST TO GET THIS REPAIRED IS SIGNIFICANT LEAVING THE POTENTIAL FOR THE PROBLEM NOT TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
