ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HONDA CRV LOCKS AND WILL NOT RELEASE IT TAKES SOME TIME PUSHING ON THE LOCKS AND SO FORTH TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE THE DOORS LOCK AND NOT RELEASE. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN PANIC COULD SET IN AND PEOPLE COULD BURN UP IN THE CAR. OR DIE TRYING TO GET OUT. MY DAUGHTER AND HER GRANDBABY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID FOR THEIR LIFE. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I SAY IT IS HEALTH AND SAFETY AND NO TIME LIMIT EXISTS FOR A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CR-V. I HAVE REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THIS VEHICLE. A THIRD DOOR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF NOT LOCKING. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY FOR THE DOOR REPAIR AND THEN I MIGHT GET A REFUND DEPENDING ON THE DISTRICT MANGERS CONSENT. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A HAZARD IF SOME HAS SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

EQUIPMENT, VISIBILITY
I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CR-V WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED & HAS HAD ALL MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED SERVICES COMPLETED AND I HAVE THE RECORDS TO PROVE IT. THE A/C COMPRESSOR EXPLODED LAST WEEK CIRCULATING METAL FILINGS INTO THE VEHICLE'S SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE AS A RESULT OF THE PRESENCE OF METAL FILINGS THEREFORE NOT HAVING ANY POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ETC. ALSO, I CANNOT USE THE DEFROST WHICH CREATES LIMITED VISIBILITY IN COOLER TEMPERATURES WHICH ALSO CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON, WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "HONDA BLACK DEATH". *TR

AIR BAGS
ON 4/24/2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15 PM MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING ON THE HWY IN ARKANSAS IN HER 2008 HONDA CR-V AT A SPEED OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. SHE HAD A COLLISION WITH A DEER AND HER AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. HER SEATBELT RESTRAINED HER FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SHE HAS HAD A HIT WITH A DEER AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE THIS TIME AND IS NOT OPERATIONAL DUE TO ENGINE AND BODY DAMAGE. SHE HAS SUFFERED BRUISING AND A STIFF NECK DUE TO THE IMPACT. THE ARKANSAS STATE POLICE WAS CONTACTED TO ASSIST HER, BUT THEY NEVER SHOWED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2007 HONDA AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION. IN DECEMBER 2010 THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BACK DOOR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. HONDA MADE ME PAY FOR IT AND THEY REIMBURSED 1/2 SINCE I WAS PAST WARRANTY. NOW ITS APRIL 2011 AND HERE I AM AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS LOCKING THEN POPS OPEN AGAIN. IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. I AM AT HONDA AND IT IS GOING TO COST $238.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOOKS. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL OPEN TO CARJACKERS AS I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND, AND I HAVE NO CAPABILITY OF SECURING MY CAR AND THE ITEMS IN IT. THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FIRST AND THEN THEY MIGHT REFUND TO ME PART OF THE FEES. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THEIR DEFECTS. I CAN REQUEST THE OLD PART FOR THIS LAST CORRECTION. IF YOU WANT ME TO SEND IT TO YOU. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER SHIP HAD BEEN REPLACING THE DOOR LOCKS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY IN ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND AT 55 MPH AND THE ENTIRE SUNROOF OF MY 2002 HONDA CRV SUDDENLY SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF TINY GLASS FRAGMENTS THAT SHOWERED DOWN UPON MY DAUGHTER (IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT) AND I. NOTHING HAD FALLEN ONTO IT FROM ABOVE, AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR CRACKS OR DEFECTS IN THE GLASS. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AS THIS OCCURRED, SUGGESTING THE DOUBLE PANE GLASS SIMPLY "EXPLODED". *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON MARCH 23, 2011, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN MVA IN NORTHERN CA. I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON HWY. 80 ON A DOWNGRADE. TRAFFIC HAD COME TO A STOP DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. IT HAD BEEN SNOWING AND I WAS TRAVELING AT 25 MPH IN SECOND GEAR. MY VEHICLE IS A HONDA 2008 CRV WITH AUTO 4WD. I TAPPED MY BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I TAPPED IT AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE. I APPLIED STEADY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THEY WERE NOT SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE CONCRETE DIVIDER TO STOP MY CAR. THERE WAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BUT FORTUNATELY, MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH MINOR INJURIES. I HAVE ALREADY NOTIFIED HONDA AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS RELEASED FROM THE BODY SHOP. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO BRAKE ISSUES IN THEIR DATA BASE FOR MY MODEL OF VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF MY INCIDENT WOULD BE REPORTED TO YOUR OFFICE. THEY SAID "NO, THEY DID NOT REPORT INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS SUCH AS MINE UNTIL THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTED TO THEM". THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WAS NOT GIVEN TO ME. I FIND THIS STRANGE. SO I DECIDED I WOULD REPORT THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU. MY VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION NEXT WEEK. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO HONDA CONDUCTING THEIR "INSPECTION". I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND AS THOUGH I DO NOT TRUST THAT HONDA WILL CONDUCT THEIR INVESTIGATION WITH INTEGRITY. PERHAPS IF TOYOTA HAD BEEN MORE FORTH COMING WITH THEIR PROBLEMS, I WOULD BE MORE TRUSTING. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID ON THAT MOUNTAIN SLOPE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. YOUR INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
