ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON MARCH 16, 2010, THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROLS (LOCATED ON DRIVERS DOOR), BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. I COULD NO LONGER CLOSE THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW FROM THIS CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE THREE REMAINING POWER WINDOWS. THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DID WORK (TO OPEN AND CLOSE THAT WINDOW). ON MARCH 23, 2010, I TURNED ON THE IGNITION FOR MY CRV AS I GOT READY TO GO TO WORK. I NOTICED AN INTENSE BURNING SMELL (OF PLASTIC) AND WAS ABLE TO TRACE IT TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AND TRIED TO EXAMINE THE DOOR FURTHER. SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE OPENINGS (LIKE THE SPEAKER COVER) OF THE DOOR PANEL. I NOTICED THAT THE CONTROL SWITCH FOR THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW WAS NOW STICKING. I PULLED OUT THE POWER WINDOW FUSE FROM THE ENGINE FUSE BOX AND TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. UPON DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO EXAMINE THE WIRING INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALL LOOKED NORMAL (NO SIGN OF BURNS). THEY TOOK OUT THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH AND DISASSEMBLED THAT AND FOUND CLEAR BURN MARKS UNDERNEATH ONE SWITCH AND ON THE MOTHERBOARD ATTACHED TO IT. THEY WILL BE INSTALLING A BRAND NEW SWITCH TOMORROW THAT WAS ORDERED FROM HONDA. UNTIL THE SWITCH IS REPLACED, I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE POWER LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE, OPENING OR CLOSING THE WINDOWS, OR ADJUSTING THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SWITCH AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW OF THE DAMAGE. WHILE I DID NOT SEE FLAMES, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE INSIDE THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND HAD THE CAR RUN ANY LONGER, THE SMOKE AND FIRE WOULD HAVE SPREAD AND COULD HAVE LED TO MORE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING (AND NOT PARKED) WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PROBLEM: SUDDEN ACCELERATION DUE TO DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THE IDLE RPMS ARE EXCESSIVE UPON STARTUP AND LEAD TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION DURING BRAKING TO A STOP. BACKGROUND: MALFUNCTION LAMP LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF. TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ONLY FOUND THE ERROR CODE FOR THE O2 SENSOR. LATER TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO FIX THE O2 SENSOR AND THEY FOUND A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY (ERROR CODE P0122). THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS WHICH ADDRESS THIS EXACT ISSUE ON 2002-2004 HONDA CRV. *TR

SEATS
I PURCHASED A USED CRV IN 2006 AND NOTICE THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I RE-MENTIONED IT EVERY TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR SERVICE TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY SEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW THEY OFFERED A FIX UNDER A TSB BUT WHEN I JUST BROUGHT IT IN THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR..WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO. I GET WHIPLASH EVERY DAY AS THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND FEEL THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE SEAT MAY NOT HOLD. *TR

2005 HONDA CRV-SE: I REPLACED DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP IN 2008. IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING, I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A HEADLAMP IN ANY CAR I'VE OWNED. (I BUY A NEW CAR EVERY 10 YEARS, AND I'VE OWNED CADILLAC, VOLKSWAGEN, MAZDA, AND PONTIAC PRIOR TO HONDA.) MY HONDA ALSO HAS A BURNED OUT DASH LIGHT AND I'VE REPLACED THE DOME LIGHT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2003 HONDA CR-V SUDDEN ACCELERATION DUE TO GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK. WHILE MAKING LEFT TURN FROM COMPLETELY STOPPED POSITION, CARS PICKED UP SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND WOULD BARELY STOP AFTER USING BOTH NORMAL AND EMERGENCY BRAKES. AFTER INCIDENT, CAR GEAR WAS PUT INTO PARKING AND CAR WAS TURNED OFF. WHILE TURNING ON CAR IN PARKING GEAR, RPM LINE JUMPED TO 4500 RPM AND CAR CONTINUED TO MAKE ACCELERATION NOISE. THIS CONTINUED FOR SOMETIME. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED ON IN ITS OWN AFTER 30 MINUTES AND REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START CAR. CAR DROVE NORMALLY AFTER PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. EXACT ROOTCAUSE OF PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN AND THERE IS UNCERTAINTY THAT IT MAY COME BACK AND COULD RESULT IN INJURIES IF CAR DOES NOT STOP. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
REGARDING 2006 HONDA CRV. PROBLEM - DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AUTO FUNCTION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. PROBLEM BEGAN PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE REACHING 30,000 MILES. WINDOW STOPS GOING UP AS IF IT HIT AN OBSTRUCTION. SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO DOWN AT ALL. DEALER WOULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER 10,000 MILES, BUT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD TOO MUCH PLAY IN IT. HONDA ALSO SUPPOSEDLY ISSUED A BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS REGARDING PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM WATER AND DEBRIS GETTING INTO THE WINDOW MECHANISMS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HONDA CRV 2007 EX 2.4 LITER, 4 CYLINDER. THE CAR DOES NOT START OCCASIONALLY. THE BATTERY IS FINE. STARTER IS OKAY. CHECKED ONLINE FORUM TO FIND THE ISSUE AND FIX. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE LOGGED SAME ISSUE ONLINE. DEALERS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. HONDA OF AMERICA SAY THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT CLEARLY THERE IS SOME ISSUE IN THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZATION OR OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE RELATED TO IGNITION. SOME ONE NEED TO DIG IN TO THE ISSUE AND HAVE IT FIXED BY HONDA REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. TODAY (FRIDAY, MARCH 05, 2010) AGAIN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE SINCE THE LIGHTS AND RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE WORKING. SEEMS LIKE THE SOME THING WITH THE IGNITION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE TO TOW AWAY THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS NOT STARTING AT ALL. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I AM THE OWNER OF A 1996 HONDA ACCORD AND 20005 HONDA CRV. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH BOTH VEHICLES WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW IS THAT THE POWER LOCKS CLICKS UP AND DOWN FROM TIME TO TIME, EVEN AFTER LOCKING THE DOORS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES, BUT MAY BE I AM THE FIRST TO MENTION IT. HOWEVER, WITH THE DOORS LOCKS, IT PUTS YOUR SAFETY AND SECURITY AT RISK AND THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH EACH VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PARKED IN A SPOT IN FRONT OF PARTY CITY, FOOT WAS ON BRAKE AND I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE BUILDING. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED BECAUSE I HIT A BRICK WALL I WENT TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. I REMOVED THE KEY. FORTUNATLEY NO ONE WAS INJURED, MY 2 GRANDSONS WERE IN THE BACK IN THEIR CAR SEATS AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. MY CAR IS GOING TO BE REPAIRED BY A HONDA DEALER AND I WILL STRESS WHAT HAPPENED BUT DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL PROBABLY SAY THAT I AM A CRAZY LADY AND MUST OF STEPPED ON THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I ABSOLUTELY KNOW THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ME. I ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO AUTO DRIVE. WHAT CAN I DO-THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE!

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE CAR SLID OFF THE ROAD IN A SNOW STORM. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE DITCH I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE ABOUT 50 FEET BEFORE STRIKING A TREE. IT NEVER SLOWED DOWN, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD). IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE AWD TOOK OVER AND CONTINUED TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL FROM THE SLIDE ON THE ICE. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH AT THE TIME WHEN I STARTED TO SLIDE ON ICE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS WENT INTO THE DITCH LINE, WHICH WAS ABOUT 12 INCHES DEEP. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WHEELS HIT THE DITCH THINKING IT WOULD SLOW THE VEHICLE SINCE THE WHEELS WERE NO LONGER ON THE ICY ROAD. AS I SAID EARLIER, AT THAT POINT I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN. I SUSPECT THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE AWD WHEN THIS SITUATION OCCURS. IT APPEARS THE AWD SOFTWARE CONTINUES TO GAIN STABILITY, AND PREVENTS THE BRAKES FROM STOPPING THE WHEELS. I ALSO READ A NOTICE FROM HONDA THAT SAYS WHEN A SITUATION LIKE THIS OCCURS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE DISABLED AND REGULAR BRAKING TAKES OVER. *TR
