ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
SUMMARY: WHILE DRIVING, THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH OVERHEATED AND BEGAN TO EMIT A STRONG BURNING ODOR. AFTERWARDS THE LEFT REAR WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE. SINCE I INITIALLY DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE ODOR WAS COMING FROM, I WENT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR BUT THEY COULDN'T. AFTER SNIFFING AROUND, I FOUND THE SOURCE OF ODOR, THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I HAD THE DEALER REMOVE THE FUSE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALER SAID THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED BUT I SUSPECT THE FAILED SWITCH BURNT OUT THE WINDOW MOTOR. I WAS WORRY THAT THE CAR WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

THERE IS A PRONOUNCED VIBRATION WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHEN THE RPM ARE AT 1200 . IT MAKES STEERING THE CAR DIFFICULT AND THE RIDE FEEL UNSTABLE. THE STEERING WHEELS SHAKES VIOLENTLY. ALSO WHEN YOU SHIFT THE CAR OR PUT IN PARK THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL SLIGHTLY OR DOES NOT REACT QUICKLY TO THE CHANGING OF THE GEAR. *TR

MY DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK WHILE DRIVING. WHILE MY PASSENGER BACK DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. I HAD BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL COST MONEY TO FIX. SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE REAR DIFF. FLUID EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS UNDER THE 30K WARRANTY THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME 350$ TO FIX IT. ALSO THE LEATHER ON BOTH FRONT DOORS STARTED PEELING UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. *TR

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 28TH, 2015.AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I NOTICED A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE. EVERYDAY IT GETS WORSE AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I CALLED MY SERVICE ADVISOR AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT AND THAT I WANTED TO BRING IT IN. HE SAID DON'T BOTHER TO BRING IT IN. IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME. TOLD ME THAT HONDA OF AMERICA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WORKING ON FIXING IT. I TOOK THE CAR IN ANY WAY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. THIS VEHICLE CAME OUT LAST SUMMER AND SO FAR THEY HAVEN'T DONE A THING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SUDDENLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. AT THAT MOMENT I NOTICED THAT THE METAL PART OF THE IGNITION KEY HAD SEPARATED FROM THE PLASTIC KEY FOB, AND THE PLASTIC PART, WITH THE REST OF MY KEYS ATTACHED, HAD DROPPED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATION, I SAW THAT THE SMALL SCREW THAT HOLDS THE PLASTIC AND METAL PARTS TOGETHER HAD PULLED THROUGH THE THIN SLIP OF PLASTIC TO WHICH IT WAS ATTACHED. THE ENGINE APPARENTLY TURNS OFF IF THE KEY FOB IS NOT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE IGNITION. THIS MECHANISM PRESUMABLY HAS ANTI-THEFT FUNCTIONS, WHILE ALSO PREVENTING ANYONE BUT HONDA FROM SELLING REPLICATE KEYS. IN THIS CASE IT HAD THE WHOLLY UNDESIRED EFFECT OF SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE OF A CAR IN MOTION. IN ORDER TO RE-START THE CAR, THE PARTS HAD TO BE PRECARIOUSLY JAMMED BACK TOGETHER, AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE FEAR THAT THEY WOULD AGAIN RE-SEPARATE AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR, BUT UNDER THIS APPARENTLY UNANTICIPATED FAILURE MODE, IF THE KEY FOB EXPERIENCES A SUDDEN STRUCTURAL FAILURE, THE ENGINE DOES TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS SITUATION REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE RISK THAT THE CAR WILL ABRUPTLY LOSE BOTH ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, OR IN TRAFFIC, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IT SEEMS REASONABLE FOR THE KEY FOB TO BE REQUIRED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT ONCE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, LOSS OF THE SIGNAL FROM THE FOB SHOULD NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. *TR

POWER TRAIN
SEVERE DISTRACTING VIBRATION OF POWER TRAIN, WHEN IDLING AT STOPLIGHT, IN DRIVE, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. ALSO VIBRATES AT LOW SPEED, UNDER POWER, IN THE 1000-2000 RPM RANGE. VERY ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING IN TRAFFIC. THE POWER TRAIN SOMETIMES EVEN SHUDDERS AS THOUGH GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP, PARTICULARLY WHEN UNDER LOAD, TRANSITIONING THROUGH THE 2000 RPM RANGE. NOT SURE IF IT IS ENGINE, OR TRANSMISSION, OR BOTH. MAKES ME FELL VERY INSECURE WHILE DRIVING. WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO GET RID OF VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A VIBRATION THAT COULD BE FELT IN THE FLOOR PAN, SEAT, GS PEDAL, AND IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VIBRATION MADE THE VEHICLE VERY FATIGUING TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AT STOPS AND TO DRIVE IN "S" GEAR WHEN DRIVING UNDER 40MPH. UPDATED 05/11/2017 *JS

STEERING, ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY FIRST ROAD TRIP IN MY NEW CR-V. DRIVING AT APPROX. 65 MILES AN HOUR IT STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MAINTAIN CONTROL. WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT STILL IN DRIVE BUT IN IDLE THE VIBRATION CONTINUED. THIS WENT OFF AND ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON FOR 758 MILES. THEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD GET A MESSAGE ACC OFF. THIS WAS ALSO INTERMITTENT THROUGH OUT THE TRIP. ON THE WAY BACK HOME DRIVING THE 758 MILES I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. A SIDE ISSUE, NOT DANGEROUS, THE SUNROOF LEAKS WHEN GOING THROUGH A POWER WASH. HONDAS SOLUTION... DON'T GO THROUGH A POWER WASH. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
SOON AFTER PURCHASE, I NOTICED A DISTINCT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR DURING IDLE AND MODERATE ACCELERATION AT NEARLY ALL SPEEDS WHEN RPM WAS AT 1800-2200. DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE, INDICATED A NUMBER OF OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, GUESSED IT ORIGINATED IN COMPUTERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR DIFFERENTIAL, COULD NOT FIX IT, CLAIMED IT IS NOT A SAFETY MATTER, ADVISED TO CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, SAID IT IS A PRIORITY AT HONDA, AND MENTIONED NUMEROUS REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ON BLOGS AND TV (7 ON YOUR SIDE WJLA, FEB 25, 2015) THE VIBRATION IS UNPLEASANT, ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING. OVER TIME THE SHUDDERING MAY DEVELOP INTO A SAFETY MATTER. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON HONDA TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND MAKE A FIX OR RESTITUTION AS SOON AS THEY CAN AND CERTAINLY BEFORE INJURIES AND DEATHS OCCUR BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
A RODENT BUILT A NEST IN THE BLOWER MOTOR OF OUR 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE RODENT NEST AFFECTED THE OPERATION OF THE MOTOR, AND CAUSED RODENT CONTAMINATED AIR TO BE CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. THIS HEALTH HAZARD COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY INSTALLING SCREENING THAT WOULD PREVENT RODENTS FROM ENTERING THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE SCREENING IS TECHNOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE FOR HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, LTD. ("HONDA"). IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, HONDA REFUSES TO COVER, UNDER WARRANTY, SERVICE AND REPAIRS FOR BLOWER MOTOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY INFILTRATING RODENTS DESPITE THE DESIGN DEFECT. AFTER REVIEWING COMPLAINTS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS THAT HAVE BEEN SIMILARLY AFFECTING BY THE DESIGN DEFECT, AND BY HONDA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR A MONTH AGO AND HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO DEALER TWICE FOR SEVERE VIBRATIONS WHEN MY CAR IS IN IDLE. DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. VIBRATIONS BEGAN ON NEAR PASSENGER SEAT BUT NOW CAN BE FELT IN THE ENTIRE CAR. THEY ARE DISTRACTING AND CAUSE ME TO BE NAUSEOUS SINCE I HAVE A LONG COMMUTE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. *TR

ENGINE
THIS 2015 HONDA CRV EX MODEL WHEN IDLING AT A STOP SIGN OR IN TRAFFIC IT VIBRATES TERRIBLY. IF I SIT IDLE AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT FOR SOMETIME THE VIBRATION BECOMES SO ANNOYING I NEED TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE OTHER ISSUE IS BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 RPM AND BETWEEN 20 MPH AND 30 MPH THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHICH MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNEASY THAT THE CAR IS SHIFTING PROPERLY AND THAT IT IS SAFE TO TAKE ON A HIGHWAY. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE 2000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND CONTACTED HONDA. I ALSO LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 80,000 PEOPLE THAT I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER OVER AT SLOAN HONDA LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HE EXPLAINED THAT HE WOULD LOVE TO FIX MY VEHICLE AS OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THE DEALER AND HIS SERVICE SHOP MAKES MONEY OFF OF REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO.MY MAJOR CONCERN IS IF I AM DOING 55 TO 65 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHETHER THE CAR IS GOING TO FAIL BECAUSE HONDA DOESN'T KNOW WHY THESE VIBRATIONS ARE OCCURRING AT IDOL AND VARIOUS SPEEDS. *TR
