TIRES:TREAD/BELT
AFTER WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BACK END OF MY CAR DROPPING OUT, I BEGAN TO PULL OFF THE I-5 FREEWAY (IN CENTRAL CA). WHEN I WAS PARTLY ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER I LOST CONTROL AND SPUN ACROSS BOTH SOUTH BOUND LANES, STOPPING IN THE MEDIAN. IT WAS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR AND THAT NO CARS HIT ME. I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE SRUVIVED SUCH AN ACCIDENT. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL FOR "AIR BAGS: FRONTAL" ISSUED IN JUNE 2004. ALSO, THE AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT ON MY 2004 HONDA CR-V. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THAT THEY HAD BEEN HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE REPORTED ON THE AC COMPRESSORS. THEY CHARGED ME $395 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE MINE. I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FREE SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
TOOK CAR TO DEALER WITH WARM AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING. DEALER STATED THAT CONDENSER HAD A HOLE FROM ROAD DEBRIS; REPAIR COSTS WAS $765. SUBSEQUENT SEARCH OF HONDA FORUMS REVEALED ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FREQUENT AIR CONDITIONER FAILURES, AND EXACT SAME LINE FROM DEALER ABOUT ROAD DEBRIS. AIR CONDITIONING FAILURE IN THE DEEP SOUTH WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM IN A 9 MONTH OLD CAR WITH 20,000 MILES. REPEATED FAILURES IN DIFFERENT MODELS WAS INDICATIVE OF POOR QUALITY, AND LEAKING COOLANT WAS A DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
OWN A 1999 HONDA CRV ORIGINAL OWNER, THE BACK REAR LATCH FREEZES ALMOST YEARLY USUALLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. NEED TO TAKE A SCREWDRIVER AND TRY TO LOOSEN THE LOCK LATCH REPEATEDLY AND SPRAY WITH W40 SOMETIMES IT WORKS, VERY FUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS IF IT WONT CLOSE. IF THE LOCK DOESN'T MOVE, I MUST TIE THE DOOR CLOSED FROM INSIDE THE CAR WITH A ROPE TIED TO THE BACK SEAT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I PURCHASED A USED CR-V MORE THAN FIVE YEARS AGO N AND UP UNTIL THIS SUMMER HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY PLEASED WITH THE VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE REAR DOOR LATCH, WHICH IS NOW FROZEN AND INOPERABLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SITUATION OCCURRED AT THE TIME THE REAR DOOR WAS OPEN, AND TOOK MUCH TIME AND MUSCLING TO EVEN GET THE DOOR LATCH TO CLOSE. NOW IT IS PERMANENTLY FROZEN IN THE CLOSED POSITION, ALLOWING ME TO TRAVEL, BUT NOT TO USE THE REAR DOOR. MY SISTER ALSO PURCHASED A CR-V, AFTER RIDING IN MINE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE EXACT SAME SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO HER, WITH A COMPLETE LATCH FAILURE ON THE REAR DOOR. HER SON, AN AUTO MECHANIC, HAS DETERMINED THE LATCH IS COMPLETELY CORRODED, AND MUST BE REPLACED.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I HAD TAKEN MY SON TO A LOCAL PARK FOR BATTING PRACTICE AND WHEN WE WERE READY TO LEAVE I HAD ASKED MY SON PUT THE BAT AND BALLS IN THE TRUNK OF THE 2004 HONDA CRV. WHEN MY SON HAD PULLED THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK, INSTEAD OF SWINGING OPEN, THE TRUNK HAD FALLEN OFF AS THE HINGE PIN BROKE. THE DOOR FELL DOWNWARD, SUSTAINED A LEFT A SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH ON HIS LEG. HAD HE NOT MOVED QUICKLY THE DOOR COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS INJURY RATHER THAN JUST A SCRATCH OR HAD MY PREGNANT WIFE BEEN THE ONE TO OPEN IT A VERY SERIOUS INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO FRONTIER HONDA IN LONGMONT, CO, AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE FIX BECAUSE I WAS OVER THE WARRANTY AND NEVER HAD SERVICED THE CAR WITH HONDA, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS KEPT UP ON ALL NECESSARY MAINTENANCE). ONE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS CLEARLY A DEFECT, WHILE HONDA AMERICA , TOLD ME IT WAS MY OWN FAULT FOR NOT HAVING THE CAR SERVICED REGULARLY AT HONDA. I WAS SO DISGUSTED AT THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE PROBLEM THAT THE VERY NEXT WEEKEND, I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA AND TRADED IT IN FOR A SAFER VEHICLE.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND MY A/C IS NOT WORKING....AND OFCOURSE THE DEALS TELLS ME IT WILL COST ME $700 TO REPLACE. I TOLD HIM THAT THE REASON I BOUGHT A HONDA IS ITS REPUTATION...IF AN AMERICAN CAR DOES NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS WHY SHOULD I PAY MORE FOR A HONDA AND PAY MORE FOR MAINTAINENCE. I TOLD THEM IT IS A DESIGN FLAW... IT IS 4X4 SO THEY EXPECT YOU NOT TO RIDE ON TOUGH ROADS??? IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON ON NEW HONDA CARS, SUV'S AND VANS. IF HONDA EXPECTS A F$X$ TO RIDE ON TOUGH ROADS DOES IT MEAN THAT YOUR A/C SHOULD NOT WORK BECAUSE A SMALL PEBLE GETS IN? HONDA SHOULD BE ASKED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE... IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. WELL...IF IT GETS REALLY HOT DO THEY EXPECT YOU NOT TO USE THE A/C? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FRY IN HEAT? PAY OR YOU FRY...NICE MONEY MAKING MACHINE THAT HONDA HAS FOUND. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES IF THEY DO NOT HAVE GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE. WE SHOULD ALL JOIN IN AND FIGHT FOR HONDA TO CORRECT THEIR BAD DESIGN. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE.

SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)
SAFETY HAZARD- 2007 HONDA CRV UNSTABLE WHEN BEING DRIVEN ON GROOVED HIGHWAY. VEHICLE OSCILLATES SEVERELY DIAGONALLY FROM FRONT TO REAR AND VICE VERSA, WHEN THIS ROAD CONDITION IS EXPERIENCED. OVERSTEERING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN ERRATIC LANE CHANGE OR SHIFT. SAME ROAD CONDITION DOES NOT IMPACT OTHER VEHICLES THAT WE DRIVE ON THE SAME STRETCH OF ROAD. CALLS AND VISITS TO THE DEALER (SOUTH BAY HONDA, LOS GATOS, CA.) HAVE RESULTED IN A RESPONSE OF "IT'S JUST THE CAR" AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I FEEL IT IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA2007 CRV'S SUSPENSION SYSTEM / TIRES WHEN THIS TYPE OF ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED. I FEEL THAT POTENTIAL BUYERS AND OPERATORS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS CONDITION, AND THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION BY THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED. *TR
