EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS ADJUSTED 3 TIMES. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT LIGHT TO DRIVE BY AT NIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ON THE ROAD IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER DARK. THE DEALER SAID IT IS THE NATURE OF THE NEW REFLECTIVE LIGHTS WHICH DO NOT SHINE OUT. HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO TO FIX THEM. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA AMERICA AND THEY SAY THEY WILL DO NOTHING UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE. APPARENTLY NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT IS NOT A DEFECT. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THEM ON HIGH BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT ALL AND IF I SWITCH TO LOW BEAM UPON MEETING ANOTHER VEHICLE I HAVE TO COME TO A DEAD STOP AS I CANNOT SEE WHERE I AM IN THE ROAD. THERE IS NO BEAM WHICH IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOUR DRIVE PATH. LOW BEAM WITH FOG LIGHTS OR HIGH BEAM; NEITHER IS SUFFICIENT LIGHT TO DRIVE BY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH NO STREET LIGHTS AND LOTS OF DEER. I NEED THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE TO BE A SAFE DRIVER. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND AM ASKING THE NHSA TO FORCE HONDA TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO HAVE THE LIGHTS REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF LIGHTING. I BARELY FEEL ABLE TO DRIVE ON FAMILIAR ROADS THERE IS NO WAY I CAN TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN AREA AT NIGHT. PLEASE RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AS A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN A LAW SUIT. I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE IN MY 2012 HONDA CRV. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE AND USED MY KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. I TRIED TO LIFT THE REAR DOOR (HATCH-BACK) TO LOAD GROCERIES. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I TESTED ALL MY DOORS AND FOUND THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK EITHER USING THE KEY FOB. I TRIED BOTH DOORS MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT ANY LUCK. ONCE INSIDE THE CAR (THROUGH THE DRIVER'S DOOR) I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. I COULDN'T GET IT UNLOCKED. THE LOCK WAS STUCK FAST. I COULD NOT ENTER OR EXIT OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. (I DID NOT CLIMB OVER THE SEATS TO TRY AND EXIT OUT THE BACK HATCH DOOR.) THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I TRIED DAILY OVER THE NEXT WEEK TO ENTER OR EXIT OUT THOSE 2 DOORS. I COULDN'T BUDGE EITHER ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO GET THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE REAR DOOR TO OPEN. I WAS TOLD THE ACTUATOR ON THE FRONT DOOR WAS GOING OUT. THE REAR DOOR WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. IT WILL COST ME $450 TO FIX THE TWO PARTS. *TR

IT STARTED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON IT'S OWN. NOW AT LEAST 3 OF THE 4 DOORS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2013 HONDA CRV ARE GROSSLY INADEQUATE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE LIGHT ON THE ROAD WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON HIGH BEAM. THE LIGHT IS VERY NARROW AND THE ROAD EDGE IS POORLY ILLUMINATED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN RETURNING HOME AFTER DARK. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AFTER DARK. WE HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH SUCH POOR HEADLIGHTS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. AT MY INSISTENCE, A BRIGHTER BULB WAS INSTALLED AND THAT IMPROVED THINGS ONLY SLIGHTLY. THIS IS OUR THIRD CRV AND OUR PREVIOUS MODELS (2004, 2006) DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED. *TR

THE POWER SWITCHES ON DOORS ARE EASY TO FAIL. THE ACTUATOR FAILED AND THE DOOR IS GETTING 'LOCKED' ITSELF WHICH COULD BE AN ISSUE IF CHILD IS LEFT IN THE CAR WITH KEY. I GOT THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS ISSUE ON MY PASSENGER - RIGHT DOOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW GOT THE SAME ISSUE ON DOOR IN DRIVER SEAT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CORRECT RECALL ON SOME CRV - IF THE GEAR SELECTOR IS MOVED FROM THE PARK POSITION WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT CAN ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ACCIDENT I STOPPED MY CAR THOUGHT I PUT IT IN PARK AND LEFT IT RUNNING TO PUT UP A GARAGE SALE SIGN. THE NEXT THING I KNOW MY CAR WAS DRIVING AWAY BY ITSELF LIKE SOMEONE JUMPED IN THE CAR. I WAS OUT OF THE CAR AND ABOUT 10 FEET BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE. THE CAR WAS NOT ON A HILL BUT JUST STARTED GOING. THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD STOP IT AND THANK GOD IT HIT A MAILBOX THAT WAS IN A TUB OF CEMENT WHICH STOPPED THE CAR. IF IT DID NOT HIT THIS IT COULD OF KEEP GOING AND HIT SOMEONE ELSE OR SOMEONE ON THE MAIN ROAD ROUTE 46 IN MINE HILL. I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT WHEN I GET IT BACK. THIS IS A LEASED CAR AND I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE I HAD TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. OF COURSE I GOT A TICKET. I AM CONCERNED SINCE I WOULD NOT LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE SOMEONE COULD OF BEEN KILLED. *TR

MY DOOR LOCKS (ALL OF THEM) WOULD NOT STAY UNLOCKED LONGER THAN 2-3 SECONDS WHEN I WANT TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CAREFULLY COORDINATE PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY WITH ACTUALLY OPENING THE DOOR. IF I AM NOT QUICK ENOUGH, I MUST REPEAT THE ACTION. THIS VERY CLEARLY LOOKS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. AND BY NOW HONDA KNOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. WILL IT REQUIRE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF DEATHS OR INJURIES BECAUSE THE OCCUPANT CAN'T GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN TIME IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE, ETC. ?? THE COST FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ACTUATORS SHOULD NOT BE BORNE BY THE OWNERS. ( UP TO 4 @ $400 EACH). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I TURNED ON BRIGHT LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD, I COULD NOT SEE ADEQUATELY. THE ROAD IS ABSOLUTELY DARK IN FRONT OF CAR, AND THE RATHER DIM LIGHT IS INSTEAD FOCUSED FAR AHEAD IN THE TREES. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS TO SWITCH TO DIM LIGHTS WHICH LIGHT ROAD IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF CAR (AND ARE -BRIGHTER" THAN THE "BRIGHT" LIGHTS), BUT DO NOT LIGHT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO BE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING (LIKE DEER) ENTERING THE ROAD IN FRONT. I'VE NEVER HAD LIGHTS THIS BAD ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. THEY ARE QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

MY GRANDSON WENT TO GET OUT OF THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE OF CAR. IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. HE HAD TO CLIMB OVER TO THE DRIVER SEAT TO GET OUT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK AND IT WAS LOCK. I DO A LOT OF PICKING UP OF MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I'M AFRAID THAT THEY WILL GET STUCK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WHAT A SHAME TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AND THE COST I WILL HAVE TO INCUR. *TR

WIRING HARNESS ON PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS BREAKING LEADING TO MARKER LIGHT, TURN SIGNAL AND HEADLAMP FAILURE. THE WIRES ARE BREAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THEY LEAVE THE WIRE SLEEVE IN THE HARNESS. IN THIS LOCATION, THE CONDUCTORS ARE PROTECTED FROM STRESS ONLY BY HEAT SHRINK TUBING AND THE WIRE INSULATION. STRESS FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE RISING WIRE HARNESS AND TRANSFERRED STRAIN FROM THE BACK OF THE LAMP CONNECTORS IS HIGHEST AT THIS POINT. MELTING OF THE WIRE INSULATION AND HEAT SHRINK TUBING WAS FOUND. *TR
