STEERING
UNDER ACCELERATION,... AND ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION,... THE 2005 CR-V... "TORQUE-STEERS"... TO THE RIGHT! THE HARDER THE ACCELERATION,... THE HARDER IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT!... IF THIS CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY A PERSON THAT WAS NOT PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THEIR DRIVING... THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE AN ACCIDENT!... THE CAR WOULD GO TO THE RIGHT AND GO OFF THE ROAD,.. OR HIT ANYTHING THAT WAS TO THEIR RIGHT!.. I.E. ANOTHER CAR, PEDESTRIAN,... TREE,... ETC. THIS PROBLEM MAY VERY WELL HAVE EXISTED FROM DAY ONE,... HOWEVER IT HAS VIRTUALLY ALWAYS BEEN DRIVEN... "GENTLY"... FOR BEST FUEL MILEAGE.. IT WAS ONLY AFTER A MECHANIC REPLACED A FAULTY "ANTI-LOCK BRAKING-SYSTEM MODULE" THAT THIS WAS DISCOVERED. AFTER THE ABS MODULE WAS REPLACED, IT WAS TEST-DRIVEN. (I.E.) ACCELERATE, THEN BRAKE,... REPEAT. UNDER THIS HARDER THAN NORMAL ACCELERATION, THE TORQUE-STEER WAS DISCOVERED. NOTE: (1.) VEHICLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS GOOD... (2.) TIRES ARE ALL PROPERLY INFLATED... (3.) AT A CONSTANT/ STEADY SPEED,... AND DURING BRAKING... THE CAR ALWAYS GOES STRAIGHT! (4.) IT ONLY PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT DURING ACCELERATION... THE GREATER THE ACCELERATION... THE HARDER IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT! (5.) THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT.. ATTACKED ANY CURBS,... HIT ANY SERIOUS POTHOLES... ETC.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHENEVER I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, UPON RE-STARTING (ONLY IF THERE IS AN INCLINE IN THE STREET) THE MOTOR ALMOST STOPS. I MUST PUMP THE GAS PEDDLE, IT SEEMS, TO CAUSE FUEL TO ENTER. THEN THE CAR TAKES OFF TOO FAST IN THE TRAFFIC. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR CANNOT FIND (OR EXPERIENCE) THE PROBLEM. BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY A MALFUNCTION--DANGEROUS AS WELL.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE VIBRATES DURING MILD ACCELERATION IN THE 2000RPM AREA. STEERING WHEEL VISIBLY SHAKES. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER AND SPOKEN TO AMERICAN HONDA. AT FIRST, THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE YET. NOW THEY SEEM TO HAVE SHIFTED THEIR RESPONSE TO "THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC". IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM FOR A $32000 CAR. I CAN IMAGINE THE DEPRECIATION FROM THIS WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL. I ASKED AMERICAN HONDA FOR MY MONEY BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND DOESN'T AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
AFTER FINDING OUT VIA THE OWNER'S SITE THAT MY AIRBAG HAD BEEN RECALLED I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK AND I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL TO UPDATE ME ABOUT AVAILABILITY BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT. I HAD TO CALL BACK FOR THE UPDATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE PARTS. NEARLY A MONTH LATER I CALLED BACK TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE PARTS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO ESTIMATE OF WHEN THEY WOULD ARRIVE. WHEN I EXPRESSED CONCERN AT THE DELAY I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT WAITING A MONTH - THERE WERE CUSTOMERS WHO HAD BEEN WAITING MORE THAN THREE MONTHS. THE RECALL DATE IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD AND I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION. IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARLY TWO MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE HONDA COMPANY BUT THEY HAVE LIMITED CALL CENTER HOURS.

AIR BAGS
REGARDING THE HONDA AIRBAG RECALL: #1. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA, ALTHOUGH WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER ON THEIR RECALL WEBSITE, IT SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL. #2. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON HOLD WHEN I CALL THE LISTED HONDA NUMBER (888-234-2138). I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM MY CASE MANAGER, WHOSE NAME APPARENTLY IS "ONYE." WHEN I ASK TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, I AM PLACED ON HOLD INDEFINITELY, OR THEY TAKE A MESSAGE BUT NEVER RETURN MY CALL. MY CASE NUMBER IS N032015-04-1601-1863. IF YOU COULD ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU. I WOULD JUST LIKE A CALL BACK FROM A CASE MANAGER FROM HONDA WHO CAN HELP GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING AND EVERY TIME I STOPPED AT A RED-LIGHT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF, THE CAR WOULD VIBRATE SO MUCH THE SEAT NEXT TO ME WOULD VISIBLY SHAKE. I ALSO FELT MY SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE A LOT. NOT JUST TO THE EXTENT THAT A NORMAL VEHICLE WOULD, BUT A LOT! I LITERALLY FELT THE VIBRATIONS THROUGHOUT MY BODY. THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CRV EX AND IS NOT AT ALL NORMAL. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY HONDAS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE DONE THIS. EVEN MY 13 YEAR OLD HONDA PILOT DOES NOT DO THIS.

AIR BAGS
IT WAS REPORTED LAST SUMMER (2014) THAT MANY HONDA VEHICLES WERE BEING RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAGS. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE NEWS REPORT AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2005 HONDA CR-V WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, EARLIER THIS YEAR I ENTERED MY CAR'S VIN IN AN ONLINE SEARCH AND WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. HONDA NEVER TO THIS DATE SENT ME A LETTER TO INFORM ME. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL. THEY DID NOT SENT ME A LETTER BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING SENT IN PHASES. I WAS TOLD THAT AN AIRBAG FOR MY CAR WOULD BE SENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP BY EARLY APRIL. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP NEVER RECEIVED IT AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG IS ON ORDER. HONDA CORPORATE OFFERED ME A FREE LOANER CAR SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MY CURRENT CAR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A LOANER CAR FOR MONTHS. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD GET TO THE PEOPLE DRIVING LOANER CARS BEFORE OTHER DRIVERS. THEY DO NOT EXPECT TO SERVICE MY CAR BEFORE THE SUMMER. I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS PROCESS: NEVER RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER & THE TIME IT IS TAKING TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED.

STEERING, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2015 CRV HAS A CONSISTENT SHUDDER AND VIBRATION THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT WHILE DRIVING. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT 1000 RPM'S AND 2000 RPM'S. THIS VIBRATION IS VERY DISTRACTING AND CAUSES FATIGUE DURING LONGER TRIPS. ALSO SEVERE VIBRATIONS AT THE IDLE, AROUND 600 RPM'S WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHTS OR IN TRAFFIC. THE VIBRATION MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS FOR MY HONDA CRV 2002, WE HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE FOR THIS CAR FROM AIRBAG TO POWER WINDOWS AND NOW IS THE IGNITION KEY THATS LOSING CONTACT, THE CAR WONT START AFTER 5 OR 6 TIMES OF TRYING TO TURN THE KEY TO START MODE. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. IM WRITING THIS EMAIL TO GET SOME HELP FROM YOU TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I DONT KNOW WHY HONDA ALWAYS PLAY THIS GAME OF NOT HELPING OUT THE CONSUMERS RIGHT AWAY, THEY ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIE BEFORE THEY ACT ON THIS KIND OF ISSUE. THIS IGNITION SWITCH IS VERY DANGEROUS, WHAT IF MY CAR STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY? THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY... THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
