LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE TAILGATE LATCH AND HANDLE IS RUSTED AND THE LATCH AND HANDLE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2000 HONDA CR-V. AT THE SAME TIME THE HINGES ON THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S DOORS WERE SQUEALING. I USED A LITTLE BIT OF WD-40 AND IT STOPPED THE HINGE SQUEALING AFTER A COUPLE OF SPRAYS. I HAVE KEPT ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES TO-DATE. *TR

TIRES
THE TIRES OF MY 2009 HONDA CRV WERE ALL REPLACED TODAY AFTER ONLY 16,000 MILES OR ABOUT 14 MONTHS OF USING THE CAR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT HELP ME TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SOME CUSTOMERS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAD LESS MILEAGE (LIKE 13K OR 14K). I THINK THERE IS WRONG IN THE DESIGNED OF THE CRV. MY PARTICULAR CRV, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED @6,868 MILES OR ROUGHLY 5 MONTHS ON THE ROAD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I BOUGHT TWO 2004 CRV'S NEW IN 12/2004. AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSORS IS NOT BLOW COLD AIR ANY MORE. THE JOB COST $4470 FOR FIXING ONLY THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS CRAZY PRICE. DEALER -THEY WOULD NOT ADMIT TO ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM USA NATIONWIDE . HONDA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IN MY OPINION. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD ALSO HANDLED BY "NHTSA" . VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. IF HONDA DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING MY NEXT CAR FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY. NEVER HONDA CAR AGAIN IN MY LIFE. HONDA AMERICA HEADQUARTER COMPANY SHOULD ISSUE RECALL ON HONDA CRV 2004 BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR. I BELIEVE THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR IS DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. BECAUSE THEY ARE MANY COMPLAINT ON INTERNET. *TR

EQUIPMENT
2010 HONDA CRV EXL AC POPPING SOUND. THE 1ST 2010 CRV THAT WE TEST DROVE HAD A RANDOM POPPING SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE AC WAS TURNED ON. WE ASKED THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER CAR. THIS CAR SEEMED TO BE FINE AND WE PURCHASED IT. AFTER ABOUT DRIVING IT A 100 MILES THE POPPING NOISE STARTED ON THIS CAR TOO. WHEN THE AC IS ON I GET RANDOM POPPING NOISE BEHIND THE AC CONTROLS / GLOVE COMPARTMENT. OTHER TIMES IT WILL JUST POP WHEN STOPPING IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT'S ASSEMBLED INCORRECTLY, AND MAKES A POPPING NOISE AS A PLASTIC PARTS EXPANDS OR CONTRACTS AS THE A/C COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON/OFF. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME PARTS TO POP IF THEY ARE BINDING FROM INCORRECT ASSEMBLY OR TOLERANCES THAT ARE TOO TIGHT. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS AVAILABLE THAT ARE ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT DESCRIBE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS: HTTP://WWW.HONDASUV.COM/MEMBERS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=50417 HTTP://WWW.HONDASUV.COM/MEMBERS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=435971 HTTP://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=79026 HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUES ASAP AND FIX HE VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
2007 HONDA CR-V 4WD, REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE. IT STARTS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING AT SLOW SHARP TURN. I THOUGHT ALL 4WD DRIVE ARE THE SAME. THE DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE NEVER MENTIONED ANY PROBLEM WHEN WE DID REGULAR SERVICE UNTIL IT RAN OUT OF THE WARRANTY. NOW THEY "NOTICED" THE NOISE AND ADVISED US TO CHANGE THE FLUID. I SUSPECTED IF THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM SINCE I STARTED NOTICING IT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I FOUND IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WITHOUT WARNING OUR 1998 HONDA CRV (112K MILES) DIED ONE AFTERNOON WHILE WIFE WAS TAKING KIDS TO THE POOL. THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS OR DASH LIGHTS TO WARN OF A PROBLEM. THE ENGINE STOPPED. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE AT AN INTERSECTION WITH NO TRAFFIC BEHIND HER. VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AFTER A MINUTE AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE POOL LOT. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, ENGINE WOULD START, BUT JUST CAUGHT OFF. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FIRST ASSUMED IT WAS A BAD DISTRIBUTOR. AFTER REVIEWING POSSIBLE CAUSES ON INTERNET, OUR MECHANIC FOUND COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES. FORTUNATELY THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND COULD BE REPLACED. HONDA DEALER SAID THEY HAD REPLACED 4 OF THESE SWITCHES IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS. PRIOR TO THIS CAR RAN FINE, EXCEPT ONE MORNING MY WIFE DISCOVERED WHEN SHE TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED AND THERE WAS A SERIES OF RAPID CLICKS BEFORE ENGINE STARTED. THIS WAS SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. MECHANIC HAS REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH AND CAR STARTS AND RUNS FINE. HONDA SHOULD WARN OWNERS OF OLDER MODEL CRV'S THAT THIS SWITCH SHOULD BE REPLACED AFTER 100K MILES. WE WERE LUCKY CAR WAS NOT MOVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AS YOU HAVE LITTLE CONTROL WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND STEERING IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
2008 HONDA CRV-COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPLACING 65,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. HONDA WARRANTY ONLY COVERS 36,000 MILES. DID NOT BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. HAS NOT REPLACED PART DUE TO COST. HONDA PURCHASED AT PARIS HONDA HAS TALKED TO THEM HOWEVER, 1200 DOLLARS FOR A REBUILT COMPRESSOR TO BE INSTALLED AND MUCH HIGHER FOR A NEW ONE. THIS IS ROBBERY AND POORLY BUILT COMPRESSORS. IS IT ALRIGHT FROM THEM TO CHARGE SO MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE WITH SORRY SERVICE AND PARTS?? IF THEY ARE HAVING SO MANY COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS WHY NOT RECALL THEM ALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER HONDA AND WHEN ASKED I ADVICE ANY ONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THE AUTO BRAND. *TR

I CONTINUED DRIVING, THINKING THAT I HAD TO GET MY A/C RECHARGED. THEN I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, SWERVED OFF AN EXIT (MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP) AND MY CAR BEGAN SMOKING. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS BROKEN. THE BELT BROKE B/C THE COMPRESS HAD EXPLODED, CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO LOCK UP. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1400. THE WHOLE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED: CONDENSER, COMPRESSOR, EXPANSION VALVE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA CR-V WHICH HAS AN AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AT 86,000 MILES. ALL COMPONENTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS FIRST NOTICEABLE WITH A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD - NEEDS COMPRESSOR, DRYER, RECEIVER, CONDENSER ETC REPLACED FOR AROUND $1000-2200 AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. DEALER IS APPROX. $2500-3500 WHICH I HAVE NOT PINNED DOWN YET. AM. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING. MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR HERE; HONDA MANUFACTURED A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD PAY THE ENTIRE REPAIR AMOUNT. I AM SURE IF AM. HONDA REP. WAS FACED WITH SAME SITUATION, HE WOULD BE DEMANDING PAYMENT AS WELL. HOPE FOR DEFINITIVE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALSO, OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DOOR LOCKS WILL NO LONGER WORK THEREFORE YOU CANNOT LOCK THE CAR. HAVE REPLACED TAIL LIGHTS 3X IN A YEAR AND NOW HONDA SAYS IT NEEDS A SOCKET REPLACEMENT. THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RELIABLE VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2003 HONDA CR-V EX WITH 62K MILES ON IT. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3K ADDITIONAL MILES THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST STOPPED WORKING. WE WERE DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON AND THEN NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT JUST STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. I TOOK IN TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TOTAL REPAIR COST IS ABOUT $1200. I HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED YET BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA CASH. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CRV WITH 60,000 MILES AND I WAS DRIVING WITH MY AIR CONDITIONING RUNNING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. AS SOON AS I PULLED AWAY THE CAR STARTING MAKING A VERY LOUD CLANKING NOISE. I PULLED OVER TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT AND REALIZED THAT WHEN I TURNED OFF THE AIR IT STOPPED. I DROVE BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOUND WAS FROM THE FAILED AIR COMPRESSOR THAT WE ABOUT $1200-2500 TO REPLACE. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSED ANY GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CRV THE AC COMPRESSOR FAILED AT 60K AND DESTROYED THE ENTIRE AC SYSTEM THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $2500. I LIVE IN ATLANTA AND CAN NOT OWN A CAR WITHOUT AC. I HAVE BEEN READING ON LINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE COMPRESSOR BELT IS DRIVEN BY THE ENGINE AND IF THE COMPRESSOR LOCKS UP THE ENGINE WILL STALL. IF THIS HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY THIS WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR COMPRESSORS AND REPLACE THEM WITH A RE-DESIGNED UNIT. IF YOU SCAN THE WEB YOU WILL FINDS HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR STORIES REGARDING THE HONDA CRV COMPRESSORS. *TR
