EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME; NEW BULBS DID NOT WORK; FUSES WERE FINE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE, SAW THAT THERE WERE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN. THE TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND FOUND WIRES WERE BURNED. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND WIRE HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD OCCASIONALLY NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SMELL. IT RESULTED IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. UPDATED 09/27/11 *BF UPDATED 2/28/12 *CN

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE AND I OWN AN 02 HONDA CR-V THAT HAS HEADLIGHT FAILURE PROBLEMS. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE NOTED AT DIFFERENT FORUMS CONCERNING THE STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AT THE DIMMER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. OUR HEADLIGHTS FAILED DURING NORMAL USE IN JUNE OF 2011. I TOOK MY STEERING COLUMN COVER OFF AND LOOKED AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DIMMER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND FOUND IT TO BE PARTIALLY MELTED. I CLEANED THE CONNECTIONS AND REINSTALLED THE CONNECTOR. THE REPAIR LASTED ONLY TEMPORARY (2 MONTHS) AND THEN THE LIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WIRING CONNECTOR IS THE ONLY COMPLETE REPAIR, BUT SINCE I HAVE HEARD THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION, I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY 02 HONDA SUFFERS THIS PROBLEM OF A FAULTY WIRING CONNECTOR FROM THE MANUFACTURER AT THE DIMMER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
HONDA CRV 2009 THE EXHAUST PIPE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE IS DAMAGING THE TIRE AND THE SMELL IS ENTERING THE CABIN. THERE IS A SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER WHEN PARKING CAR AFTER DRIVING. THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRE HAD PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BELT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONDITION CONTINUES ON THE NEW TIRE. SUGGEST WRAPPING THE EXHAUST PIPE WITH A LENGTH OF INSULATING TAPE TO PROTECT THE TIRE FROM HEAT DAMAGE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH IN OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V ON THE BACK DRIVER SEAT. IT WAS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I WAS ON THE WAY BACK HOME WITH AN 8 WEEK OLD BABY . WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN DOOR I REALIZED THAT THE DOORS WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- I COULDN'T OPEN THEM AT ALL. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESULT. THE BABY I WAS CARING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER MANY TRIES, I USED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER DOORS AND THE TRUNK WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- JAMMED. I COULDN'T EVEN OPEN WITH THE KEY. I WAS SO SCARED AS I'M USING THAT CAR TO GO TO THE DOCTOR OR FOR SHOPPING PURPOSES. ALL THE TIME MY BABY IS WITH ME AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND WE WENT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA SERVICE- MCGRATH HONDA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY CAN FIX IT THE NEXT DAY FOR $500. THEY DID. THE NEXT DAY CAR WAS FIXED, BUT ON MY BACK WAY HOME I REALIZED THAT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE AND THEY FIX THE DOOR FOR FREE AS IT WERE THE THIRD DOOR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE CAR WILL BE ON FIRE? HOW I WILL ESCAPE WITH MY BABY IF THE DOORS ARE JAMMED? WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MY BABY IF THE SITUATION WILL REPEAT? *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THE AC STARTED TO MAKE BANGING NOISE, THEN CEASED TO WORK. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES, JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IN 90-100 DEGREE WEATHER THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS -- I FIND MYSELF FALLING ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL IN THE HEAT, EVEN WHEN WINDOWS ARE OPEN. I CAN'T AFFORD $2000+ FOR REPAIRS. APPARENTLY LOTS OF CR-V OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH AC COMPRESSOR. HONDA SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS VEHICLE AND PAY FOR ITS REPAIRS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON 8/1/2011, WHILE DRIVING OUR 2002 HONDA CRV, I NOTICED A STRANGE SMELL. WHEN DARKNESS FELL, I REALIZED THAT THE LOW BEAMS ON MY VEHICLE WERE NOT WORKING, THROUGH THE HIGH BEAMS AND EVERY OTHER LIGHT ON THE VEHICLE WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE - ONCE IN NOVEMBER OF 2009, AND ONCE IN MARCH OF 2010. WHEN IT HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, I FIRST CHECKED THE BULBS AND FUSES. THEY WERE ALL FINE. I THEN RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, AND LOOKED INTO A WIRING HARNESS BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. I FOUND A WIRING HARNESS THAT CONTAINED SOME CORROSION BETWEEN CONNECTORS THAT HAD MELTED SOMEWHAT. I SCRAPED OFF THE CORROSION AND APPLIED SOME DIELECTRIC TO INHIBIT FUTURE CORROSION, AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE ATTENDANTS AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (WITH PICTURES THAT I TOOK OF THE OFFENDING HARNESS), AND AFTER CHECKING THEIR COMPUTERS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ON RECORD REGARDING THE ISSUE. I HAVE NOT YET MADE THE (OBVIOUSLY TEMPORARY) REPAIR FOR THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. I'M THINKING THAT I MAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY CAN COME UP WITH A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION. *TR.... UPDATED 01/17/12 *BF

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
EXCESSIVE BURNOUTS AND SHORTING OF DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. REPLACING BULBS EVERY SIX MONTHS ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV. OCCASIONALLY, BULB WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY AFTER REPLACEMENT. NOW, EVEN NEW BULBS DON'T WORK. IN LAST INSTANCE, BOTH LOW BEAMS APPEAR TO HAVE BURNED OUT AT SAME TIME (FORTUNATELY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS). UPDATED 08/24/11 *BF THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY OFTEN HAVE TO SLIGHTLY BEND THE HEAD LIGHT HOUSING WITH THE BULB TO GET THE PROPER METAL TO CONTACT, WHICH WAS THE CASE WITH THE CONSUMERS HEAD LIGHT.
