TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT JOYCE HONDA IN DENVILLE, NJ ROUTINELY OVERINFLATES THEIR CUSTOMER'S TIRES BY AT LEAST 5 LBS IN WINTER. THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO THAT SO THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING LOTS OF CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS WHEN THEIR TPMS LIGHT GOES OFF. I CAN'T SEE HOW THAT PRACTICE BENEFITS ANYONE BUT THEM BY SAVING THEM FROM HAVING TO EXPLAIN THAT, IF THE LIGHT IS ON, YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON JANUARY 24, 2011, I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING 3 CARS. I REAR ENDED A CAVALIER, WHICH IN TURN REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. I HIT THE CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. WITH NO BRAKE APPLIED UPON IMPACT. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT RETRAINED ME FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD BUT SIGNIFICANT BRUISING AND STRAIN OCCURRED FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS THE 2ND REAR ENDING THAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT EITHER OCCASION. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR WITH INITIAL ESTIMATE OF $6500 IN REPAIRS, WITH SUPPLEMENTAL REPAIRS AS WELL. ONE OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL REPAIR WAS THE DRIVER SEAT BELT RESTRAINT THAT IS NOW OVEREXTENDED, THUS CAUSING A ICON TO DISPLAY ON THE DASH CONTROL PANEL. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WILL NO LONGER RETRACT AND MUST BE REPLACED BY THE AUTO BODY SHOP. SIGNIFICANT FRONT END, HEAD ON DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT BUMPER AND METAL BUMPER SUPPORTS WERE CRUMPLED BACK TOWARDS THE ENGINE. THE WELDED METAL ENCLOSURE AROUND THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WAS PUSHED BACK SIGNIFICANTLY, AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR AND COOLING CONDENSER. THE HOOD WAS CRUMPLED BACK TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILLE WERE DEMOLISHED AND CAME OFF THE VEHICLE UPON IMPACT. THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND WOULD HAVE SAVED ME FROM SIGNIFICANT BRUISING AND STRAIN FROM THE IMPACT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY ONCE THE CAR IS RETURNED TO ME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED MY CRV FROM HERSONS HONDA ON JANUARY 28, 2010 WITH 13 MILES. I DID MY A1 MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON JUNE 14, 2010 WITH 4,676 MILES AND MY B1 SERVICE WAS DONE ON SEPT. 18, 2010 WITH 9,853 MILES. BOTH SERVICES WERE COMPLETED AT HERSONS HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IN NOV. I CALLED HERSONS HONDA SERVICE DEPART. TO REPORT PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL SINKING TO THE FLOOR AND SLIDING FORWARD WHILE I AM WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THE SERVICE DEPART. INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL WITH HONDAS AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONCERN. ON THE CONTRARY, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ON DEC. 14, MY COLLEAGUE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN A RAMP IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN FAILED AND CAUSED ME CONSIDERABLE DISTRESS AS I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY PASSENGER. ON DEC. 15, 2010, I TOOK MY CRV TO HERSONS SERVICE DEPART. FOR INSPECTION. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED, ALL THE SEALS ARE SWOLLEN, IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT WILL COST ME $5402.00 TO REPAIR IT. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TO FIND OUT HOW MY BRAKE FLUID GOT CONTAMINATED AND WHEN THEY COULD REPAIR IT SINCE MY CAR WAS ONLY 12,566 MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, SUGGESTING IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I REQUESTED FOR THE PHONE NUMBER OF AMERICAN HONDA AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND COME BACK TO ME. TO DATE MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AND IT HAS BEEN WITH HERSON'S HONDA FOR OVER 30 DAYS.

SUSPENSION
I AM A PROUD OWNER OF A 2003 HONDA CR-V. I'VE ALWAYS HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN MY REAR WINDOWS WERE ROLLED DOWN AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT, UNTIL I HAD SOME BODY WORK DONE AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND ALMOST EVERY HONDA CR-V OWNER I SPOKE TO SAY THEY'VE ENCOUNTERED THE NOISE TOO. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A FLAW HONDA KNOW ALL ALONG AND REFUSE TO DISCLOSE, EVEN WHEN I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER SEAT OF MY 2006 HONDA CR-V BEGAN WOBBLING AND ROCKING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY MENTIONED THAT THE SEAT FRAME IS WORN OUT AND NEED TO REPLACE IT. IT COSTS ABOUT $600. DRIVER SEAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART AND SHOULD NOT BE WORN OUT LIKE THAT. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON THE NYS THRUWAY SOUTHBOUND ON A CLEAR, DRY DAY, WE WERE ABOUT TO EXIT ONTO EXIT 13N WHEN A SPEEDING SEDAN CUT US OFF BEFORE WE COULD EXIT AND WE HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE BACK ONTO THE THRUWAY. THE 2009 HONDA CR-V WENT OUT-OF-CONTROL AND WE WEAVED OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND HIT THE CEMENT MEDIAN, BOUNCED OFF AND HIT IT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER FRONT SAFETY BAGS PARTIALLY DEPLOYED AND SIDE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AMBULANCED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I SUFFERED NUMEROUS BRUISING AND ABRASIONS TO THE CHEST. HE SUFFERED MASSIVE BRUISING AND 4 BROKEN RIBS. THERE IS DEFINITELY A STEERING ISSUE WITH THE 2009 HONDA CR-V AND SHOULD NOT BE RATED A SAFE VEHICLE. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY LEASED A 2006 AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH THAT MODEL.

AIR BAGS
ON JAN 8TH 2011 I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK INVOLVING MY 2005 HONDA CRV LX MODEL EQUIPPED WITH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. IT WAS A FRONTAL IMPACT AT 35 TO40 MPH CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHICH WAS TOTALED. THE SEAT BELTS DID THEIR EXPECTED JOB BUT CAUSED BRUISING TO MY WIFE'S CHEST, STOMACH AREA AND STERNUM (POSSIBLE FRACTURE). MY COMPLAINT WAS THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON EITHER THE DRIVERS SIDE NOR THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I BELIEVE IF THIS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED MY WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED THESE TYPE OF INJURIES OR WOULD HAVE LESSENED THEM. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO DISCUSS THIS AND HE GAVE ME SOME OFF THE WALL REASON WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN AT A 35 TO 40 MPH FRONT COLLISION! THE SENSORS ON THE FRONT BUMPER AREA , RADIATOR , ENGINE AND FRAME WERE DAMAGED TO THE POINT THEY SEEMED TO BE MOVED BACK TOWARDS THE PASSENGER CAB. THESE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON IMPACT BUT DID NOT. I CANNOT FIND ANY CUSTOMER HELP LINE FOR HONDA TO REPORT THIS. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2010 HONDA CRV BOUGHT NEW. WE HAVE A DRIVELINE VIBRATION NOTICED THE DAY WE TOOK IT HOME. WE HAVE 5 REPAIR ORDERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. 1 OF THE REPAIR ORDERS WAS DONE BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE WHO NOTED THE VIBRATION AND WHAT HE THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE DONE BUT NO REPAIR WAS MADE. WE ARE WORKING WITH A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. I AM A AUTO TECHNICIAN AND NOT MUCH OF WHAT I SAID WAS DONE. HONDA IS NOW TRYING TO WALK AWAY FROM US. THE LAWYER SAID SHE FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA 2 TIMES AND IT WAS "DENIED". I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SINCE THE MASSACHUSETTS LEMON LAW, M.G.L. CH 90 7N 1/2 STATES THAT IT IS PRESUMED THAT THE LEMON LAW IS SATISFIED IF EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS IS MET: 1. THE CAR WAS PRESENTED FOR REPAIR ON 3 OR MORE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME NONCONFORMITY WITHIN ONE YEAR OR 15,000 MILES FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL DELIVERY OF THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.. WE CLEARLY FIT THIS BUT THE 1ST TIME AROUND WITH THE LAWYER SHE SAID WE DID NOT QUALIFY AND SAID " I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED "ISSUES" WITH YOUR VEHICLE BUT SOME OF THE "ISSUES" YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED DO NOT FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. CONCERNS RELATED TO BRAKES, ROTORS, TIRES, WHEELS, ALIGNMENTS, COSMETIC ISSUES, WEAR & TEAR- ARE ALL ITEMS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED IN YOUR WARRANTY BOOKLET AND ALTHOUGH THE DEALER MAY DECIDE TO PERFORM REPAIRS AT NO COST UNDER "GOOD-WILL", THEY DO FALL WITHIN THE LEMON LAW SO THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE AND THEREFORE WILL NOT MAKE YOU AN OFFER OF SETTLEMENT. " THIS IS NOT A "WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM IF THE CAR IS NEW!!!! *TR
