TIRES
I HAD A TIRE THAT KEPT LOOSING AIR. THIS WENT ON FOR OVER A MONTH. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRE CHECKED FOR A PROBLEM. THE GUY LOOKING AT MY TIRE CAME BACK AND SAID I HAD LITTLE HOLES ALL THE WAY AROUND CENTER TREAD OF MY TIRE. HE TOLD ME THAT IF THAT ONE WAS DRY ROTTED THEN POSSIBLE SOME OF THE OTHERS WERE ALSO. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SET. UPON PULLING OFF THE OTHER TIRES I HAD TWO MORE TIRES LIKE THAT IN THE SAME CONDITION. I AM JUST THANKFUL THIS WAS CAUGHT BEFORE I HAD A WRECK. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE A LOT. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE A SET OF TIRES AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
I FIRST CALLED CORAL SPRINGS AUTOMALL, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071 ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE (DUE TO A RECALL) ON OCTOBER 22, 2014. I SPOKE TO A WOMAN WHO DID NOT IDENTIFY HERSELF, WHO SEEMED RELUCTANT TO HELP, AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. AFTER WAITING THREE DAYS, ON OCTOBER 25 MY HUSBAND CALLED AGAIN. HE SPOKE TO DEXTER, WHO PROMISED HE WOULD CALL BACK WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK WITHIN 7 TO 10 DAYS. AGAIN THERE WAS NO RETURN CALL. SO MY HUSBAND CALLED AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 11. THIS TIME DEXTER SAID THAT THE PARTS "COULD BE ON BACK ORDER FOR TWO MONTHS." WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF DRIVING WITH THESE DEMONSTRABLY DANGEROUS AIRBAGS, DISTRESSING BECAUSE THERE IS REGULARLY A BABY IN THE CAR, DEXTER ADVISED THAT THE AIRBAG FUSE BE REMOVED UNTIL THE SITUATION WAS REMEDIED. ONCE MORE WE RECEIVED NO PHONE CALLS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THUS ANOTHER CALL WAS MADE ON JANUARY 06, 2015. MY HUSBAND AGAIN SPOKE TO DEXTER, WHO REPEATED THAT HE WOULD CALL BACK IN 7 TO 10 DAYS. PREDICTABLY, NO ONE CALLED. ANOTHER CALL WAS PLACED BY MY HUSBAND ON JANUARY 15. THIS TIME, AT LAST, DEXTER MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR JANUARY 23. ON THE 23RD, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED, AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE UNAVAILABLE (NO FURTHER EXPLANATION). THEY WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED. I DON'T COMPREHEND HOW IT IS THAT AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING FOR THESE PARTS, AND BEING FORCED TO DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, THIS DEALERSHIP IS STILL UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM--DESPITE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO DO JUST THAT. THE PROBLEMS DO NOT SUBSIDE FROM HERE. TODAY, JANUARY 27, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE COVER ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS NOT ATTACHED. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PARTS WERE ON ORDER AND NO TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETION WAS OFFERED. *TR

AIR BAGS
COMPLAINT IS THAT OWNER OF VEHICLE (THE ORIGINAL BUYER) HAS STILL NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ON-GOING PROBLEMATIC TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE RECALL NOTICE HAS NOW BEEN EXPANDED TO ALL 2006 HONDA CRV'S, NOT JUST LOCATION SPECIFIC VEHICLES. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. ALARMING AND FRUSTRATING, CONSIDERING PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAIMED, PARALYZED, AND KILLED BY THESE VERY HONDA-INSTALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS. THEY SAY THEY ARE BEING "PRO-ACTIVE" WHICH IS AT BEST A JOKE. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND REPLACE THEM IN ALL HONDA VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. HONDA AND TAKATA BOTH SUCK FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING! *TR

DURING COLD WINTER MONTHS IN MICHIGAN, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA WHO TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS A "NORMAL PROBLEM" WITH CR-VS APPARENTLY DUE TO THE OIL PUMP NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AMERICAN HONDA WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT INDICATED ANY SOLUTION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS BURNT OUT. THIS IS ONE OF MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE (2005 CR-V) INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (O2 SENSOR) AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT AND SEVERAL INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS CAR, BUT HONDA SEEMS NOT TO CARE AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP! *TR

AIR BAGS
MY AFFECTED VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 30 MPH WHEN BROADSIDED BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 40-45 MPH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE; MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO SHOVED OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE, PROCEEDED TO COLLIDE HEAD ON WITH A STREET SIGN WITH THE FRONT RIGHT AND A UTILITY POLE WITH MY FRONT LEFT. NEITHER THE FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND JAWS OF LIFE WAS UTILIZED TO EXTRICATE ME. I SUFFERED A LEFT-SIDED HEAD INJURY (LARGE CONTUSION, CONCUSSION), SHOULDER INJURY (ROTATOR CUFF, FRACTURED SCAPULA) AND BACK AND NECK STRAINS. THESE INJURIES WERE CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE ON THE LEFT SIDE. INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLY AVOIDED IF SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND CUSHIONED THE IMPACT/PROTECTED DRIVER FROM CONTACT WITH VEHICLE FRAME. CONTACT WITH AMERICAN HONDA AT THE NATIONAL OFFICE REGARDING THIS MATTER WAS MET WITH TOTAL DISINTEREST. ONE PERSON ACTUALLY TOLD ME I SHOULD BE GLAD IT DID NOT GO OFF BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WORSE BY THE AIRBAG. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS RELATED TO MY VEHICLE - NEITHER OF WHICH I WAS CONTACTED. THEY CLAIMED THEY HAD AN INCORRECT ADDRESS, BUT I HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED OF NON-RELATED RECALLS WITH NO ISSUE OF INCORRECT ADDRESS, AND THERE ARE RECORDS OF THE DEALER THAT HAS DONE PRIOR RECALL WORK. NO EXCUSE....UPDATED 02-03-15 *BF

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE SPEED FROM 40MPH, GAS PEDAL STUCK IN DEPRESSED POSITION AND RPM STUCK AT 4-5K. UNABLE TO USE BRAKE APPLICATION AND EFFORTS TO UNSTICK GAS PEDAL FAILED. THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO TURN IGNITION AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THERE WAS ABLE TIME AND DISTANCE FOR MANUAL INTERVENTION TO CORRECT SITUATION AND AVOID A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OUTCOME. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION ON 10/29/2014 AND SINCE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED IT WAS NOT RECORDED AS A DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WANTED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER ONE. I PUT CAR IN GEAR AND AS I STARTED OUT I HEARD THE ENGINE REV VERY LOUD AND CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED BRAKES AND PLACED THE CAR IN PARK. ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING HIGH. I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. CAR SEEMED TO BEHAVE NORMALLY AND I DROVE HOME (ABOUT 1 MILE). I CALLED A HONDA DEALER SERVICE NUMBER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL BACK BUT DID NOT. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE SERVICE AT ANOTHER DEALER (DCH HONDA OF PARAMUS). I SPOKE TO AN [XXX] WHO TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FOR ANY 2008 CRV'S. I WROTE AN E-MAIL TO HER TO DOCUMENT THE PHONE CONVERSATION THEN CALLED ANOTHER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND (INTERMITTENTLY) TO THE THROTTLE. THIS MAKES FOR A VERY DICEY SITUATION WHEN TURNING ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP, E.G., A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM, YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND JUST AS QUICKLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND. DURING THESE EPISODES THE ENGINE IS JUST IDLING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS. THE ANSWER WAS THE TYPICAL ONE THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM A DEALERSHIP: 'WE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". FROM POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITH HONDA VEHICLES. IN FACT A DEALERSHIP SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT HIS BROTHER HAS A HONDA WHICH HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALMOST FROM THE DAY HE PURCHASED IT. I'M NOT JUST IMAGINING THIS. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY RELAY OR THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF WHICH WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THIS ISN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION AT WORK. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A DEADLY SITUATION. THANKS. *TR

BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CRV VIBRATES DURING IDLE. WHEN THE CAR STOPS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE RPM DROPS DOWN BELOW 700 THEN THE VIBRATION START, THE LOWER RPM THE STRONGER VIBRATION. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS IDLE BUT THE SHIFT IN D MODE. CONTACT HONDA DEALER AND HONDA AMERICA THEN FIND OUT ALL THE NEW HONDA 2015 CRV HAVE THE SAME VIBRATION PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY CAUSES ANNOYANCE BUT ALSO DISTRACTS DRIVER. PLEASE STOP HONDA FOR SELLING DEFECTED CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR OVER A YEAR, MY 2007 HONDA CR-V HAS HAD A LOCK ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION WHERE THE RIGHT YEAR PASSENGER DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCKS WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE CAR. MY 4 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE WE WERE IN MOTION WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK! ALSO, THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN I GOT BELOW AND ABOVE 10MPH AND MAKE A HUGE CLICKING SOUND. NOT ONLY CAN I ONLY DRIVE ONE OF MY NEPHEWS IN MY CAR AT A TIME AND THEY MUST SIT ON THE LEFT SIDE TO AVOID THEM OPENING THE DOOR AGAIN, EVERY NIGHT WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED AND ANYONE CAN GET IN THE CAR. ALSO, ANYONE IS ABLE TO JUMP IN MY CAR IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT, AND LIVING IN DC, THAT IS A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY! NOW TODAY WHEN I WENT TO GO TO WORK, BOTH OF MY FAB REMOTE ENTRY KEYS STOPPED WORKING AND I CANT GET IN MY CAR. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS HUGE SAFETY RISK AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF HONDA AND ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IF I WANT HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IT WILL COST OVER $1,000 FOR A PROBLEM CAUSED BY HONDA. I HAVE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2007 HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME LOCK ACTUATOR ISSUE AND FEEL THEIR SAFETY IS AT RISK FOR THEIR PASSENGERS AND FOR THE CAR IN GENERAL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FROM HONDA AND IF THIS SAFETY RISK IS BEING ADDRESSED. *TR
