VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT A NEW CRV IN SEPTEMBER 2012. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THAT AT CERTAIN TIMES, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE CAR ACCELERATES. DURING THIS HESITATIONS PERIOD THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV AND THE CAR JUST COASTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES THE PAST YEAR. THIS CREATES A MAJOR CONCERN WHEN I'M TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR PULL OUT FROM AN INTERSECTION. NOTE, MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND I'VE HAD THE ECON SWITCH IN BOTH ON AND OFF MODE AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN FEBRUARY 2013 AT WHICH TIME IT HAD 3,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER 2013 I HAD WORK DONE ON AN ACCORD I OWN AND I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR COPIES OF 6 REPORTS THRU SAFERCAR.GOV. THE ADVISOR DID NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSE. I NOW HAVE 8,000 MILES ON MY CRV. I RECENTLY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS REPORTED. IN MY OPINION THEY ARE WRONG AS THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING CAUSING THIS. AT LEAST I HAVE IT ON FILE WITH HONDA. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH 2013. I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA WITH NO STREET LIGHTS, ETC. IT IS PITCH BLACK AT NIGHT. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR AFTER DARK UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. WHEN DRIVING I COULD HARDLY SEE MUCH IN FRONT OF ME AT ALL. THE LOW BEAMS ARE MOST INADEQUATE AND THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USELESS. THE ROAD IF FRONT OF THE CAR WAS BARELY LIT UP AT ALL. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION, HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I WENT AROUND A CURVE AND ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD. AND IT WAS A CLEAR NIGHT, NO RAIN, FOG ETC. I PAID OVER $30,000.00 FOR THIS CAR AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT!! AS SAFETY CONSCIOUS AS HONDA IS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS SITUATION IS ACCEPTABLE TO THEM. IT CERTAINLY ISN'T FOR ME. PLEASE, CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM ( CHANGING BULBS, ETC). I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK TO HELP RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ENGAGING THE HONDA CR-V HIGH-BEAMS ON A DARK ROAD DRASTICALLY DIMINISHES VISIBILITY IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND OUT ABOUT 25 FEET. WHILE THE HIGH-BEAMS ILLUMINATE STREET SIGNS AND TREE TOPS A GREAT DISTANCE AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE, CLOSE-IN LIGHTING IS DANGEROUSLY LACKING MAKING FOR UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THE HIGH-BEAMS GO ON, THE LOW-BEAMS GO OFF AND THERE IS ALMOST NO ILLUMINATION CLOSE IN. OTHER 2012 / 2013 CR-V OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ON VARIOUS INTERNET WEBSITES INCLUDING WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM AND WWW.EDMUNDS.COM. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FIX FROM THE DEALER OR HONDA AT THIS TIME. *JS

ENGINE, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THUNK NOISE FROM ENGINE ON PASSENGER SIDE. WORSE WITH TURNING, HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALER SAID "SOMETHING" WAS NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY, MUTTERING ABOUT ENGINE MOUNT. I WAS NOT GIVEN A SERVICE RECORD FOR THE REPAIR AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET ONE AFTER THE FACT. AT THE SAME TIME HEAR A GRINDING NOISE THAT WAS NOT RESOLVED. CR-V AT REPAIR SHOP NOW AND SAID IT LOOKS AS IF AIR COMPRESSOR, CLUTCH AND FANS FOR AC ARE NOT RIGHT. IF NOT RESOLVED WILL BLOW AND DAMAGE ENGINE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS AN ALARMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY MOVE TO INVESTIGATE OR INITIATE A RECALL? *JS

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVER SIDE DOOR GETTING LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AUTOMATICALLY, AFTER FEW DAYS I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR AS WELL. BOTH DOOR LOCKS MAKING NOISE AND UNLOCK AND LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. IF I LOCK DRIVER SIDE DOOR, PASSENGER DOOR GETS UNLOCKED. NOT RESPONDING TO REMOTE FOB. NOW, I AM MANAGING THE LOCKS BY MANUALLY LOCKING DRIVER SIDE DOOR. SPOKE TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH BOTH ACTUATOR IN BOTH DOORS AND IT WOULD COST ME 270 + 250 (520 DOLLARS). PART IS ACTUALLY 70 DOLLAR BUT LABOR IS 200 DOLLAR FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND 180 DOLLAR FOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE WEB FOR 2007 AND 2008 HONDA CR-VS . IT IS SOMETHING MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THESE MODELS. I AM FEELING UNSAFE EVERYDAY I DRIVE. I MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND 500 BUCKS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE FACT THAT WORRYING ME MORE IS, MANY VEHICLE OWNERS COMPLAINED THAT PROBLEM WILL BE REPEATED AFTER SOMETIME AND AGAIN I HAVE TO SPEND 500 DOLLARS. *JS

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
FRONT DRIVER DOOR IS LOCKED AND CAN'T OPEN FROM INSIDE USING REMOTE OR MANUALLY. CLIMBED OVER TO THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR FROM OUTSIDE ALSO UNABLE TO DO SO. I BROUGHT THE CAR THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR DEFECT. THE DEFECT POSES A SAFETY RISK SINCE THE DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING FEATURES FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, MANY CRV OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR CRV 2007-2010. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NEITHER RECALL OR COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR'S REAR DOOR LOCK IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN I DRIVE, THE DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS BY ITSELF REPETITIVELY. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR AND TRY TO LOCK IT, THAT DOOR UNLOCKS BY ITSELF. EVEN IF I AM DRIVING, THE PASSENGER CAN OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE CAR LIGHT WONT LIGHT UP AND MY DASHBOARD WONT TELL ME THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A MASS PROBLEM WITH COUNTLESS OTHER CARS MADE AROUND THE SAME YEAR. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE DEALER BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. *JS
