FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR 2014 HONDA CR-V (PICKED UP THE CAR 11/14/14) HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION. HAD 125 MILES ON THE CR-V WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER. AFTER ENTERING THE CENTER AND GOING ABOUT 15 MPH I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS AS I GENTLY AGAIN PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. SCARED THE HECK OUT OF MY WIFE AND I. I HIT THE BRAKES. THEN SLOWLY PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR RESPONDED OKAY. WE WENT ANOTHER 200 FEET OR SO AND WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING AISLE WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. TWO PEOPLE CROSSING THE LOT CAME CLOSE TO BEING HIT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. WE WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN THE EVENING HOURS, THE VISIBILITY WAS EXTREMELY LOW WITH THE USE OF THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT REPORTED THE SAFETY CONCERN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BULB FOR THE LOW BEAM, WHICH FAILED TO INCREASE VISIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

ON 9/23/14 30000 MILE CHECK UP PERFORMED AT DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ON 10/14/14 IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR ON INTERSTATE 4; VEHICLE HICCUPED AND LOST POWER; ABLE TO GO TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC; TURNED VEHICLE OFF THEN ON AGAIN; VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT HESITATION. DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT; THEY CHECKED IT OUT; SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG; HOWEVER, THEY RAN A COMPUTER UPDATE FOR THE ALTERNATING SYSTEM STATING THAT THEY "THINK" PROBLEM IS SOLVED. CONTACTED HONDA REGIONAL; THEY AUTHORIZED AN INSPECTION AT A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 11/12/14. I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THEY COULD FIND NO REASON THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER; AT THAT POINT, HONDA REGIONAL TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ANSWER. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON 15 NOVEMBER 2014 AT 9:09PM MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAVE A GARMIN GPS HOOKED INTO MY COMPUTER AND THIS UNIT CAN READ THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES. THE CODE FOR THIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCURRENCE WAS A (P2422). THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS IS THAT THIS CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 91K MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE 6TH (YES SIXTH) TIME FOR THIS FAILURE. THIS CODE HAS TO DO WITH THE EMISSIONS/FUEL SYSTEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO BE RESOLVED AND IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I AM AGAIN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS OCCURRENCE BUT AM RUNNING OUT OF WARRANTY AND PATIENCE. THIS CAR HAS ALSO BEEN THROUGH 4 BATTERIES, A WATER PUMP, FUEL PUMP AND ALL POWER STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED. THE MESSAGE ASSOCIATED WITH CODE P2422 IS "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM VENT VALVE STUCK CLOSED". IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE FIGHTING THESE ISSUES THAT CAN GIVE ME ANY INSIGHT?? *TR

I RECEIVED FROM HONDA A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE MY FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO AUTO NATION HONDA MIAMI LAKES 5925 NW 167 ST MIAMI, FL 33015. MY CAR WAS THERE FOR 6 HOURS, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WEREN'T AUTHORIZED TO PERFORM THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART. I'M SENDING THIS INFORMATION TO LET YOU KNOW IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I CAN'T WASTE MY TIME MISSING WORK TO HAVE THIS FIXED WHEN THE DEALER DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IF I HAD TO BUY THIS PIECE THEN THE DEALER WOULD HAVE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT'S FREE THEY DON'T CARE. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VISIBILITY
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. I WENT TO HONDA OWNERS' WEBSITE AND PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO HAD REPLACED THE SUN VISORS ON THEIR CARS MORE THAN THREE TIMES. THEY AND I THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE DRIVERS DON'T HAVE PROTECTION FROM SUNLIGHT AND HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHEN THE SUN VISOR IS DOWN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 HONDA CR-V BURN OUT AFTER AN UNUSUALLY SHORT TIME. OVER MY YEARS OF OWNING THE 2005 HONDA CR-V WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2004, THE LOW BEAM BULBS BURN OUT ANNUALLY. NOW, THE DRIVER SIDE LOW-BEAM BULB. ALL BULBS I HAVE USED AS REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN OEM BRAND NAMES: EITHER SYLVANIA OR PHILIPS. HEADLIGHTS ARE CRITICAL FOR NIGHTTIME SAFETY. THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE PROBLEM ON 2005 HONDA CR-V VEHICLES IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE NOW REPLACED BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS ENTIRELY WITH NEW PARTS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM INDEPENDENCE HONDA IN BLOOMSBURG, PA. IT WAS A SATURDAY CLOSE TO CLOSING TIME. THE SALESMAN AND HIS BOSS WERE EAGER TO MAKE THE SALE, AND SAID IF YOU SIGN THE PAPERS TODAY, NAME YOUR PRICE. ALL ALONG KNOWING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE/DEFECT! I NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS, MADE THE DEAL AND PAID IN FULL. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I COMPLAINED ABOUT A RATTLE AND TOLD THEM TO ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY FIXED THE RATTLE AND SAID THE HEADLIGHTS WERE WITHIN SPECS OR SPECIFICATIONS! I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO THEM! STILL DIDN'T LIKE THE INSUFFICIENT VISIBILITY SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS MECHANIC SAID THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT HONDA'S HEADLIGHTS. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. THE SAME DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER. HE SAID, "WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON, THE LOW BEAMS ARE OFF, THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS." HE ALSO SAID, "THE LIGHTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ON A GMC VEHICLE." AGAIN WAS TOLD - "GET USED TO IT!" MY COMPLAINT - THE HEADLIGHTS DON'T PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! IT IS A DEFECT THAT IS NOT BEING CORRECTED. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT RECOURSE IS AVAILABLE FOR ME TO GET PROPER HEADLIGHTS? HONDA IS GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER! *TR

AIR BAGS
HI, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION ON NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V-351. I LIVING IN LONG ISLAND NEW YORK. I LIVE ON A ISLAND SURROUNDED BY WATER AND IN HIGH HUMID CONDITIONS. IN THE SUMMER HIGH HUMID CONDITIONS EXIST IN ABOUT 4 MONTHS A YEAR HERE ON LONG ISLAND. BUT BECAUSE HONDA DOES NOT LIST MY LOCATION AS PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN I AM NOT ENTITLED TO THE TAKATA AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACT HONDA THEY CANNOT CONFIRM IF MY VEHICLE EVEN CONTAINS ONE OF THESE AFFECTED AIR BAGS BUT JUST THAT I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION. I THINK THIS UNFAIR THAT NHTSA IS EVEN ALLOWING HONDA TO MAKE THAT DECISION AND IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK IN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE PRESSURE HONDA TO MAKE THEM REPAIR ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND TO NOT PUT COST ABOVE PEOPLES SAFETY. THEY MADE THE ERROR WITH TAKATA AND WHY SHOULD WE PAY THE PRICE ON SAFETY. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAD MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IN THE LEFT REAR SEAT OF MY 2008 HONDA CRV AND WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION AND I UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS BY USING MY KEY UNLOCK FEATURE. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR AND MY SPOUSE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I DID AND THE DOOR OPENED. SO, I ROLLED DOWN THE LEFT REAR GLASS AND CLOSED AND LOCKED ALL THE DOORS. I UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS AND REACHED IN AND TRIED OPENING THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN, BUT THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE OPENED THE DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WE CARRY A 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON IN THE REAR SEAT OR FOR ANYONE ELSE WE CARRY IN THE REAR SEAT. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM BULBS A TOTAL OF 17 TIMES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CR-V'S WITH NO RESOLUTION. HONDA USES A UNIQUE CONNECTION AT THE BULB WHICH I BELIEVE MAY BE THE CULPRIT. *TR
