SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES FOR THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY, A GRINDING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR BRAKES AND THEN THE GRINDING NOISE WOULD CEASE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE GRINDING NOISE WAS PRESENT THE FIRST THREE TIMES THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEN THE NOISE WOULD STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY RUST BUILD UP BEHIND THE REAR ROTORS. THE ROTORS WERE CLEANED AND THE FAILURE WAS SOLVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,900.

SERVICE BRAKES
REAR BRAKES STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN FIRST TIME APPLIED EACH MORNING. SLOWLY CONDITION KEPT GETTING WORSE, BUT AFTER NO MORE THAN THREE APPLICATIONS OF BRAKES, CONDITION CEASES FOR THAT DAY ONLY TO RE APPEAR THE NEXT DAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT JUST BE A COLD WEATHER CONDITION. HOWEVER, HAVING JUST RETURNED FROM SOUTHERN FLORIDA FOR SIX WEEKS WITH THE CONDITION CONTINUING, I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER UPON MY RETURN ON MARCH 12, 2015. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A NORMAL SERVICE CONDITION CAUSED BY RUST BUILD UP BEHIND THE ROTORS AND NEEDED TO CLEAN THE BRAKES EVERY 20,000 MILES. I TOLD THEM I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS CARS IN THE LAST 60 YEARS PUTTING OVER 100 K MILES ON SEVERAL AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS CONDITION. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION HOTLINE AND THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THIS TO BE A SERVICE CONDITION. *TR

THIS CR-V SOMETIMES HESITATES TO CRANK. IT WILL CRANK AFTER THE 2ND TRY. IT ALSO HAS A VERY HIGH PITCH SOUND AT 55 MPH THAT IS VERY ANNOYING. *TR

ENGINE
MY BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V IS EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS BOTH IN IDLE OR IN DRIVE. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS IN DRIVE SEAT,STEERING WHEEL, GAS PADDLE. I CAN EVEN SEE THE SHAKING OF PASSENGER-SEAT BACK WHEN IT IS IDLE. I AM AFRAID SUCH HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION WILL LOOSEN SCREWS, BREAK PARTS AND RESULT IN SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION. PLEASE HELP. REGARDS. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE VEHICLE HAS PENDING AIRBAG RECALLS (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V-351 AND 14V-349) FOR THE TAKATA-BRAND AIR BAG INFLATORS SINCE THE END OF 2014. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS REPLACED, BUT, AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS TO THE DEALER, I CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THAT THE DRIVER?S SIDE PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I FIND THIS UNBELIEVABLE, AS THE REASONS FOR THESE RECALLS HAVE BEEN GRIEVOUS INJURY AND EVEN DEATH TO DRIVERS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SEEMS INCREDIBLY NONCHALANT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE INABILITY TO FIX THESE LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY RECALLS BY BOTH HONDA AND TAKATA SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY THE AUTHORITIES. THANK YOU. *TR

STRUCTURE, WHEELS
THE PART IS PROTECTOR 91720, PN: 52352-T1G-E01. IT IS SMALL PLASTIC PART TO PROTECT REAL WHEEL AXLE OR BODY STRUCTURE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. WHEN MY CAR HAS SOME VIBRATE (IT DID NOT HIT ANYTHING), THE PART FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. AND ONE SIDE OF THE PART IS STILL ON THE CAR. IT MADE THE CAR SPEED SUDDENLY SLOW BECAUSE THE ONE END OF PARTS IS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD. THE PART IS NO SCREW ON FALLEN SIDE. THE PART IS BROKEN NOW. THE DEALER AGENT TOLD ME IT IS NOT ON THE CAR WARRANTY AND I NEED PAY IT. I THINK IT MAY CAUSED MORE SAFETY ISSUE IF I DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN IT HAPPEN. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE BEFORE FEBRUARY 12 TO GET THE RECALLED AIRBAGS FIXED, BUT 2 DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER UNTIL "SOME TIME IN APRIL." I KEEP GETTING REPEAT LETTERS WARNING ME THAT THE FAULTY AIRBAGS "COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE," AND THE LETTERS STATE THERE CAN BE "PROVISION OF, OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR, TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, AS NECESSARY." BUT BOTH HONDA DEALERS I'VE CONTACTED HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE THIS ALTERNATIVE. MY 2003 HONDA CRV IS MY ONLY CAR; THUS, IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED VEHICLE 1/29/15 ALMOST IMMEDIATELY NOTICED WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE VIBRATES, LET IT GO THINKING NEW CAR NEEDS TO GET BROKEN IN. 1400 MILES LATER, THE CAR IS STILL DOING IT, ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S WORSE. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS A VIBRATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND CONTINUES WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. DEALER SAID HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOESN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET. IN FACT, THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID ABOUT EIGHT (8) OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA, ONLY TO BE TOLD THIS IS A "CONDITION" THEY ARE AWARE OF AND ARE INVESTIGATING, HOWEVER, SINCE THEY DON'T FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN, THEY COULD NOT COMMIT TO WHEN A REPAIR PROCEDURE WOULD BE INSTITUTED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. HOW CAN YOUR CAR VIBRATING WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN, HOW CAN ANYTHING THAT AFFECTS THE DRIVEABILITY OF YOUR VEHICLE NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN. I CAN'T EVEN RID OF IT, WHAT DEALER IS NOT GOING TO QUESTION THAT VIBRATING. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE OR REPLACE THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH. IT WAS 10PM. WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, SOUNDING LIKE STONES FLYING UP AND HITTING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING I SAW THE SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE REMAINING GLASS LOOKED AS IF IT WAS PUSHED UP FROM THE INSIDE LIKE A VOLCANIC ERUPTION. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE ROOF. NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND NO OVER PASSES. THERE IS A WEB SITE WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SHARED SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT MANY DIFFERENT CAR MANUFACTURES WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE SUNROOF GLASS ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE
WHEN YOU COLD START THE CAR IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE NOISE. I TAKE IT HOME AND IT DOES IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY EACH TIME. I RECORDED THE NOISE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY ORIGINALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY CLAIMED HONDA AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WERE WORKING ON IT. AFTER WAITING 6 WEEKS FOR RESOLUTION, I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I REQUESTED THE NUMBER TO HONDA AMERICA AND CALLED. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA AMERICA THAT THEY DIDN'T DEEM THIS PROBLEM A DEFECT AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE. IF YOU LOOK ON THE DIFFERENT BLOGS AND SITES ONLINE...THEY DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME IS APPRECIATED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, I FELT EXCESSIVE SMOKE AND HEAT COMING FROM THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT FOR SOME REASON EXCESSIVE HEAT WAS GENERATED IN THE SWITCH AND THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY MELTED THE SWITCH OR COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. I DISCOVERED HONDA CRV YEAR 2002-2006 HAVE A "NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V486 , HONDA'S CAMPAIGN ID: S61" FOR RECALL ON POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH. BUT MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER ISN'T COVERED UNDER IT. I CONTACTED HONDA "PRODUCT CONCERNS" DEPARTMENT AS I EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE SAME WHAT THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V486000 IS COVERING. I WANTED HONDA TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY ISSUE AND INITIATE AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS FOR MY VIN# AND PROVIDE ME WITH THEIR FINDINGS. BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN REGISTER MY COMPLAINT (#N012015-03-1601127) BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING AS MINE ISN'T IDENTIFIED IN AFFECTED VEHICLES UNDER CAMPAIGN ID 12V468. THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF PRODUCT CONCERNS ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW IF ANY PAST WORK WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE THAT CAUSED THIS. I AM THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH 2008 AND DID NOT GET ANY WORK DONE ON MASTER SWITCH AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 2016. NOT ONLY THIS, MY COMPLAINT ASKS FOR AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS, A PROPER TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS TO IDENTIFY WHAT IF THERE IS ANOTHER BATCH MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT/VENDOR/COUNTRY THAT IS ALSO POTENTIALLY AT RISK AS WHAT CAMPAIGN 12V486 WAS. WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL HONDA DOES THE DIAGNOSIS BUT AS OF NOW, THEY SEEM TO BE LEAST BOTHERED. IN TEXAS,YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT WINDOWS WHEN A/C ISN'T WORKING. THIS VEHICLE IS ALMOST USELESS WITHOUT WINDOWS. PLEASE INITIATE AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS WITH HONDA AND HAVE THEM LOOK INTO IT AS MY EXPERIENCE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME LISTED IN CAMPAIGN 12V486. SMOKE, EXCESSIVE HEAT, RISK OF POTENTIAL MELT/FIRE. NEED YOUR HELP TO ENFORCE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR
