TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
SERIOUS VIBRATIONS WHEN MAKING A SHARP LEFT OR RIGHT TURN ON HONDA CRV 2006 MODEL. BASED ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS AND HONDA DEALER IN FREMONT, IT IS BECAUSE OF THE BAD REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HONDA WARRANTY SAYS THAT THIS FLUID SHOULD BE REPLACED BETWEEN 60,000 - 90,000 MILES WHILE MY CRV HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I ASKED THE HONDA DEALER TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY DENIED. I WANT HONDA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 HONDA CR-V EX-L ON 29 MAY 2010. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE; HOWEVER, I UNFORTUNATELY DISCOVERED A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM DISCUSSED IN THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 05-073, 'A SQUEAK OR RATTLE IS HEARD FROM THE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS OR ROUGH ROADS.' MY PROBLEM COMES FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND NOT THE REAR SEATS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE BULLETIN 05-073 STATES THE ISSUE WAS REMEDIED BY INSTALLING A RUBBER FLOOR BOOT TO INSULATE THE RETRACTORS FROM THE BODY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2004 HONDA CRV AIR CONDITIONER - WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD WHISTLE, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE POPCORN POPPING. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID THAT MY COMPRESSOR HAD EXPLODED AND THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER, CLUTCH AND COIL (WHEN THE COMPRESSOR EXPLODES, IT SEND METAL SHARDS THROUGH THE SYSTEM)T FOR A COST OF $2100. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE TO CONTACT HONDA USA CUSTOMER SERVICE. WHEN I CALLED THEM, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS UNFORTUNATE, BUT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AS MY MILEAGE IS APPROX 63K MILES, AND THAT I NEEDED TO SPEAK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. CURRENTLY, THERE IS ONE SITE COLLECTING DATA TO FORM A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND NUMEROUS SITES WITH COUNTLESS ACCOUNTS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - THE COMPRESSOR EXPLODING USUALLY BETWEEN 40K-70K MILES ON MODEL YEARS 2002-2005, WITH MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS HAVING TO HAVE THEIR UNITS MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS
I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH WHEN A WOMAN DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE SIDE OF HER CAR. MY SEATBELT RETRACTED AND SAVE ME, HOWEVER THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS HOWEVER A SCENT OF BURNING OR A CHEMICAL REACTION INSIDE THE CABIN. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY AT MORE THAN 10 MPH UPON IMPACT. CLEARLY I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 10-15 MPH. I AM WONDERING IF SOMETHING WAS A MISS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE AC COMPRESSOR ON MY 2003 HONDA CR-V, 60917 MILES, DESTROYED ITSELF INTERNALLY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF. I HAD DIFFICULTY PULLING THE CAR OFF THE ROAD SINCE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAID THE COMPRESSOR CAME APART SENDING METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. THIS WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE A/C SYSTEM REPLACEMENT, COST $3300. AFTER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CR-V. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
COMPLETE LOSS OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON 2003 HONDA CR-V CONNECTOR IN STEERING COLUMN APPARENTLY EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT OR FIRE, CAUSING MELTING OF PLASTIC PARTS IN CONNECTOR AND CORROSION TO METAL PINS IN SWITCH. *TR UPDATED 05/02/11 *BF AFTER REALIZING NEITHER HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING, THE CONSUMER PURCHASED AND INSTALLED TWO NEW BULBS. IT APPEARED THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. BUT A FEW DAYS LATER, THE LIGHTS WERE OUT AGAIN. THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, HE OPENED THE STEERING COLUMN PANELS AND LOOKED AT THE WIRING HARNESS. HE FOUND A GREY CONNECTOR HOUSING WITH ONE OF THE SLOTS CHARRED AND MELTED. THE CORRESPONDING PIN LOOKED CORRODED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ATTEMPTED TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED THE BULBS AGAIN, AND REFUSED TO LOOK IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE BULB CHANGE WORKED TEMPORARILY. THE CHANGING OF THE BULBS MOVED PROBABLY MOVED THE WIRING ENOUGH TO COMPLETE CONTACT SO THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED. FURTHER DRIVING WOULD LOOSEN THE WIRES AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. THE CONSUMER FIXED THE PROBLEM BY USING A LIBERAL APPLICATION OF SILICON DI-ELECTRIC GREASE AT THE CONNECTION POINT BETWEEN THE BURNT CONNECTOR AND THE CORRODED PINS. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY MORE PROBLEMS. UPDATED 08/29/11
