POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2006 HONDA, CR-V. REAR DIFFERENTIAL MAKING NOISE, AT SLOWED SPEEDS WHILE TURNING. CHECKED OWNERS MANUAL, IT STATES TO CHANGE AT 90,000 MILES. CHECKED ON-LINE TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT. COULDN'T BELIEVE THERE IS AN ACTUAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS AND NO NOTIFICATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM OR THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I'VE HAD MY OIL CHANGES DONE AT. REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE FLUIDS SO I DON'T HAVE DAMAGE DONE TO MY CAR. WHY IS HONDA NOT NOTIFYING THERE LOYAL CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, MAYBE COVERING THE COST TO REPLACE THE FLUIDS THAT ARE "JUST BREAKING DOWN PREMATURELY" I BOUGHT MY HONDA BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION. *TR

STEERING
2008 HONDA CR-V WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED. THE CAR WILL VEER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT AT ALL SPEEDS. FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS IN 27,000 MILES (CURRENT VEHICLE TOTAL MILEAGE). FOUR NEW TIRES AT 25,000 MILES (I LIVE IN SOUTH FLOIRDA WHERE THE ROADS ARE AS SMOOTH AS GLASS...). RECENT REPAIR RESULTED IN REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEK BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO FIX BY HONDA. COULD BE DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY CR-V AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 7000 MILES. THE TIRE NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER AS THE MILES GREW. BY 18,000 MILES I COULDN'T TAKE IT AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE CUPPED AND NEEDED REPLACED. I PUT NEW TIRES ON AND HAD IT ALIGNED BY THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET IT IN SPEC AND REPLACED THE REAR SPRINGS. THEY ALIGNED IT, BUT I STILL HAD TIRE NOISE. DEALER SAID I BOUGHT CHEAP ($125/PC) TIRES . THESE TIRES ARE ALSO NOW CUPPED SO BAD AT 50,000 MILES THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THEM, A 70K TIRE WITH ONLY 30K ON THEM. I ALSO SMELL HOT RUBBER ON THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE MUCH LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, AND ONLY THIS TIRE. COINCIDENTLY THIS ONE IS THE CUPPED NOISE MAKER. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
MY REAR GATE WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO OPEN & CLOSE. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP & THEY ADVISED THAT THE HINGES NEEDED LUBRICATING. THE SPRAYED A YELLOW FOAM ON THE HINGES. IN THE WEEK THAT FOLLOWED, I NOTICED THAT OPENING THAT REAR GATE BECAME VERY EASY, SO MUCH SO THAT THE REAR GATE "FALLS" OUT OF PLACE. IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE GATE I NEED TO LIFT UP WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT & SHOVE IT CLOSED. LOOKING CLOSER AT THE HINGES, THEY APPEAR TO BE SNAPPED. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (5/24/10) AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE HINGE WAS SNAPPED FROM DISINTEGRATING, AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THEY SENT ME TO THE BODY SHOP THEY USE AND THE MAN THERE ALSO TOLD ME THE SAME THING, THE HINGE HAS DISINTEGRATED. I NOW NEED TO REPLACE THE HINGES BECAUSE THE BODY SHOP TOLD ME THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, THE REAR DOOR COULD FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING AS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THIS ON IS THE REAR GATE HANDLE LOCK AND IF THE DOOR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING IT COULD NOT ONLY KILL SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND ME, BUT THAT IT WOULD BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR DOOR/GATE. THIS IS A 2006 HONDA CR-V, HOW CAN HINGES DISINTEGRATE IN 4 YEARS?! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA C-RV. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT SPEEDS OF 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE HAD ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARRANT. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AND INSTEAD, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 1,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON MAY 8TH, I DROVE MY 2006 HONDA CR-V HOME FROM A RESTAURANT. I TRAVELED ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. MY HONDA CR-V SUDDENLY SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED ITSELF. THE VSA LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ONE MORE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS SO SCARED. ON MAY 10TH, I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSISTANCE (VSA) SYSTEM FAILED AFTER I OWNED THE CAR FOR FOUR YEARS AND AT 45000+ MILES. DEALER TOLD ME IT COST $2300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM. I DID NOT ACCEPT IT. I ASKED DEALER AND AMERICA HONDA CORP. TO HELP. FINALLY THEY AGREED I PAID $725 DOLLARS FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2002 HONDA CR-V. THE GAS TANK CAP HAS CAUSED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST. EACH TIME, I BUY A NEW GAS CAP AND THE ERROR GOES AWAY. I AM ON MY 3RD GAS CAP AND I'M GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN. I WILL CALL HONDA TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND TO REQUEST A REAL "FIX" TO THE PROBLEM. AS STATED BY OTHERS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS A WARNING TO DRIVERS. IT'S IMPORTANCE IS WATERED DOWN BY SPURIOUS ERRORS LIKE THIS. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CR-V THAT HAD 135,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE COMPRESSOR IMPLODED. AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE COMPRESSOR IMPLODES, SHOOTING SHARDS OF METAL THROUGHOUT THE AC SYSTEM, RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS OTHER THAN THE COMPRESSOR. ESSENTIALLY THE ENTIRE AC SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AT A COST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $2500-3500 (MY BILL CAME TO $3100). AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED TO PICK UP THE TAB ON ANY OF THE PARTS OR LABOR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. IF YOU GOOGLE "HONDA+AIR+COMPRESSOR+FAILURE" YOU WILL FIND MANY, MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, ALL REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA. *TR

HONDA SERVICE IN NEW BRITAIN CT (SCHALLER) REFUSED TO FIX UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (LIGHT BULBS NOT COVERED). IT APPEARS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM.

2008 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER STATES WHILE IN REVERSE, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. *GR THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT AN ENGINE MOUNT STUD WAS BROKEN, A SIDE MOUNT WAS DISTORTED AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR PULLEY WAS TOUCHING THE ENGINE BEAM WHICH RESULTED IN SPARKS AND/OR AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE A/C MATTER APPEARED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE HAVING SHIFTED SOME FROM THE BROKEN STUD AND DISTORTED SIDE MOUNT. *JB

STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE IS TWO PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 HONDA CR-V. WHEN CAR HAS SAT OVERNIGHT OR WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON FULL AND THE CAR WAS OFF WHEN WE WENT TO START THE CAR IT SOUNDED LIKE THE MAIN STARTER HAD BEEN CORRODED NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO START IT'S NOT THE BATTERY NOR THE ALTERNATOR AND WHATS KEEPING THE STARTER FROM STARTING THE CAR ONLY HAS 92,000 MILES. THE BIGGER SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE TILT STEERING IS NOT LOCKING ALLOWING IT TO STAY LOOSE WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WHEN IN MOTION AND CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION. MY TWO REQUESTS ARE WHY IS THE STARTER GOING BAD SO EARLY AND WHY WONT THE TILT LOCK INTO PLACE? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE STOPPING OR STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT(S), WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, ENGINE REVVED UP TO 2K RPM WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON MY PART. WHEN LIGHT CHANGED, AND BRAKE WAS RELEASED, ACCELERATION AND CAR PERFORMANCE BECAME NORMAL AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN THE PAST SIX WEEKS. IN ADDITION, TURNING THE A/C OFF OR ON HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE RPM. NOTE: DURING THE ANOMALY, IF TRANSMISSION WAS MOVED FROM D TO N, ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO 5K RPM, AND WOULD DROP BACK TO 2K RPM WHEN TRANSMISSION PUT BACK INTO D ALL THIS HAPPENED WITH FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE. FOR THE RECORD: CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ANOMALY, THE MEMORY DUMPED, AND NO DATA FOUND. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR
