STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DURING HEAVY RAINS, WATER WILL SEEP IN UNDER THE CARPETS FROM SOMEWHERE FORWARD AND LOWER THAN THE WINDSHIELD. THE WATER COMES FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD, USUALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT DOES NOT DRIP IN, BUT RATHER SOAKS UP FROM UNDER THE CARPET. I PERSONALLY HAVE SEEN THE WATER GROW UP TO 2 INCHES IN DEPTH ABOVE THE CARPETS. AFTER SOME INTERNET SEARCHING, SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE FOUND IN EARLIER MODELS OF CR-V. THE ISSUES FOUND STEMMED FROM FAULTY/OLD FACTORY SEALS ON ITEMS LIKE THE FIREWALL AND A/C VENTS. PLEASE CONTACT WITH MORE QUESTIONS IF THIS INFORMATION IS UNCLEAR OR COULD BE IMPROVED. *TR

SEATS
2012 HONDA CR-V HEADREST - WHEN SITTING WITH MY BACK COMPLETELY AGAINST THE CAR SEAT, THE TOP PART OF THE HEADREST IS PITCHED FORWARD AT SUCH AN ANGLE THAT IT FORCES MY HEAD FORWARD REGARDLESS OF THE HEIGHT OF PLACEMENT. IN ORDER TO CORRECTLY ALIGN MY HEAD WITH MY SPINE WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE TO SIT FORWARD. THIS IS NOT A FEASIBLE POSITION. I AM 5'10" TALL AND I ALREADY SUFFER FROM CERVICAL SPINE PROBLEMS WITHOUT THIS HEADREST CREATING MORE!!! I DID NOT REALIZE THE SITUATION WITH THE HEADREST UNTIL I'D HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I CALLED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER 1-800-999-1009 ON MARCH 2, 2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:50 PM E.S.T. TO COMPLAIN. THEIR REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME SHE WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF MY COMPLAINT AND PASS IT ON TO THE DESIGN TEAM. SHE STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THIS TIME TO FIX IT. THE ONLY SOLUTION I COULD FIND WAS TO TURN THE HEADREST AROUND AND ATTACH A CUSHION TO IT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THESE HEADRESTS MAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO FIT CURRENT SAFETY MEASURES, BUT ONE SIDE DOES NOT FIT ALL!! *TR

SEATS, WHEELS
ONE WEEK AGO PURCHAED A 2009 HONDA CRV WITH 26K MILES. HAVE HAD 2 PREVIOUS CRV'S (1999 & 2002) WE PURCHASED THE 2009, AFTER A 15 MINUTE TEST DRIVE, EVERYTHING SEEMD FINE. AFTER DRIVING FOR THE PAST WEEK, NOTICED HORRIBLE LOWER BACK PAIN, LEGS & FEET HAVING "PINS & NEEDLES" NUMB FEELING & SEAT UNCOMFORTABLE REGARDLESS OF THE MANUAL SEAT ADJUSTMENT POSITION IT IS IN, LUMBAR SUPPORT ON LOWER BACK OF SEAT PUTS TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON LOWER BACK, NO WAY TO ADJUST IT. NEVER HAD BACK PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. SEATS ARE VERY FIRM, EVEN ADDING ADDITIONAL CUSHION OR BLANKET DOES NOT HELP. BOTTOM OF SEAT IS AT AN INCLINE, AND IT PUTS STRAIN ON KNEES / LEGS. NO ADJUSTMENT TO STRAIGHTEN SEAT LEVEL FROM INCLINE ON THE LX. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND HONDA AND THEY BOTH SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE. HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING SEATS FOR THE HONDA ACCORD & CIVIC & CRV AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. SEATS ARE CAUSING BACK / LEG ISSUES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED/REDESIGNED AND REPLACED BY HONDA. OTHER CRV'S WE OWNED NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS. HEADREST EQUALLY UNCOMFORTABLE, PUTS YOUR HEAD AT A VERY ODD POSITION, CAUSING NECK PAIN. TIRES SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE ALSO, WE WILL BE NEEDING TO REPLACE THEM SOON WITH ONLY 26K MILES, AND 3 YEARS OLD. HONDA SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. BAD TREAD ON THE TIRES, OURS ARE BRIDGESTONE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AT ABOUT 5MPH, I TURNED INTO THE CURB TO PARK MY CAR, UPON APPLYING MY BRAKES TO STOP, THE CAR ACCELERATED, THAT IS WHEN I REALIZED I WAS ON A SHEET OF ICE. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THERE WAS A PARKED CAR APPROXIMATELY 60-80 FEET AHEAD OF ME, BECAUSE I HAD NO BRAKES, I SWERVED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING THE PARKED CAR, AND COLLIDED WITH AN ONCOMING CAR HEADED IN THE SAME DIRECTION. MY CAR THEN FISHTAILED AND SWIPED THE BUMPER OF THE PARKED CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD REGARDING THE LOSS OF THE BRAKES, AT ANYTIME. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY 2005 HONDA CRV IN AUGUST, 2005 AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB HAS BURNED OUT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS DO NOT THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY CONCERN STATING THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS INITIATED BY HONDA ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, AND THE RPM INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD ARE BURNT OUT COMPLETELY, AND THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE IS ONLY PARTIALLY ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS THE INDICATOR DIALS/SELECTORS THAT CONTROL THE AC/HEATER FAN SPEED, TEMPERATURE, AND POSITION OF THE AIR TO BE DISTRIBUTED. HONDA DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FUSE RELATED AND THE INDICATOR/SELECTOR DIALS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS AGO. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
PURCHASED 2008 CRV BRAND NEW, IT CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE TIRES. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I NOTICED VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT. AFTER ROTATION, VEHICLE PULLS TO LEFT. THEY ALSO WORE OUT RAPIDLY 20K; NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALER. AFTER THEY CONDUCTED ALIGNMENT CHECK THEY SAID YOU NEED TO CONTACT FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE FOR TIRE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF RADIAL PULL. FIRESTONE AGREED TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. I JUST DID MY FIRST ROTATION AFTER NEW SET OF TIRES AND NOW VEHICLE PULLS TO LEFT. I MUST PUT SOME MUSCLE WORK ON STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP VEHICLE STRAIGHT. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO HONDA TO FOLLOW-UP. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE EITHER THE TIRES OR SUSPENSION/ALIGNMENT ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR
