SERVICE BRAKES
MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES HAVE STOPPED WORKING, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE A 2006 CRV WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. HONDA TOLD ME IT IS OVER 2000 TO FIX AND IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL NOT BE RECALLED. THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT I DON'T NEED TO GET IT FIXED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, SINCE MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK IN SNOW, ICE OR RAIN AND I LIVE IN WISCONSIN (WHERE THE WEATHER WILL LOCK MY BRAKES UP) THANK YOU

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE POWER DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. AS SOON AS YOU LOCK IT MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB, IT WILL SLOWLY UNLOCK ITSELF. THIS OCCURS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT WILL LOCK ITSELF IF THE AUTO ACCELERATES OVER 10MPH, BUT THEN WILL AGAIN SLOWLY UNLOCK SECONDS LATER AND WILL STAY IN THE UNLOCK POSITION. THIS IN TURN DEFEATS THE SECURITY SYSTEM, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE, ALLOWING THE PASSENGER DOOR TO BE OPENED WITHOUT SETTING OFF THE ALARM. I ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE LOCKING MECHANISM AS STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DOOR ACTUATOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE STARTED TO ACT UP. AT FIRST WHEN LOCKING THE DOOR, THE DOOR SLOWLY UNLOCK ITSELF, BUT OVER THE PERIOD OF COUPLE OF DAYS THE DOOR STARTED TO MAKE JAMMING MECHANISM NOISE (CLICK, CLICK, CLICK...). NOW EVERY TIME WHEN I DRIVE, THE CAR DOORS MECHANISM DOES NOT SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS LOCKED, AND ALWAYS GET JAMMED TRYING TO LOCK THE DOOR (EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS ALREADY IS LOCKED).

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
IN 2006 WITH 66000 MILES AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STARTED TO GIVE OFF BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED HEADACHES AND NAUSEA BEFORE THE SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. A/C COMPRESSOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEN IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 95000 MILES THE UNIT FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME TOXIC FUMES. AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH IMPACT OF THIS ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS COMPONENT IS OF INADEQUATE DESIGN AND HONDA LOST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO FREQUENT FAILURES. THIS FAILURE RATE, WHILE NOT IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF THE CAR, DOES HAVE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS FOR THE OCCUPANTS BEYOND REASONABLE RISK. *JB

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER 2 WEEKS WHILE DRIVING NEW VEHICLE (JUST PURCHASED NEW) ABOUT 30 MILES. ECO BUTTON IS ON. FROM FULL STOP, WHEN I STEP ON GAS PEDAL GET A 1-2 SEC HESITATION; NO ENGINE REV UP, NO ACCELERATION. FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE AT TIME OF GAS PEDAL HESITATION. IT'S A SAFETY PROBLEM IN TRAFFIC OR ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT IN TRAFFIC. LOCAL HONDA DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO HONDA AND HONDA IS WORKING ON SOLUTION AND RECALL REPAIR. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE, 6 DAYS LATER, I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS USING REMOTE CONTROL KEY, THEN I OPENED THE DRIVE SIDE DOOR MECHANICALLY, AND PRESSED THE DOOR-CONTROL BUTTON, NO RESPONSE, AND PRESSED THE HORN, NO RESPONSE. PUT THE KEY TO TRY TO START THE CAR, NO RESPONSE (EVEN NO NOISE). I CHECKED AND FOUND IG MAIN FUSE WAS BLOWN OUT (NOT 100% SURE, IT IS DIFFICULT TO TAKE OUT THE FUSE DUE TO OVER TIGHTENED SCREW) USING A CHARGER TO CHARGE BATTERY, AND FOUND POWDER WINDOW HAS RESPONSE, BUT DOORS DID NOT RESPONSE, PUT THE KEY TO START, SOME LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE PANEL, BUT NOT SOUND AT ALL. HOW THE IG FUSE WAS BLOWN OUT DURING THE PARKING, IT MUST BE HAPPEN WHEN I PULLED OUT MY KEY 6 DAYS AGO WHEN I PARKED MY CAR. CHECK WITH ALL FRIENDS AND GOOGLE SEARCH, NO CLUE WHAT HAPPEN! I WILL ASK THE CAR TO BE TOWED A SHOP TO CHECK BY A TECHNICIAN. I NEVER DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE CAR WRING, NEVER INSTALL ANYTHING INTO THE CAR. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY FIRST INCIDENT THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST 2013 MY KEYLESS LOCK WOULD NOT LOCK MY CAR AND WOULD BEEP 3X WHEN I WENT TO LOCK IT. IT WOULD STILL STAY OPEN. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING MY DOOR IT WAS FINE BUT STILL DID IT OVER A 2 DAY PERIOD THEN IT STOPPED AND WAS FINE. TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH AND I PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY, TURN OFF MY CAR AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS AS USUAL, THEN IT LOCKED ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT. I USED MY KEY TO UNLOCK IT AND OPENED MY DOOR QUICKLY TO GET OUT. AS I EXITED MY CAR THE DOOR LOCKED ITSELF BEFORE I COULD EVEN CLOSE MY DOOR AND USE THE KEYLESS REMOTE. EVEN IF I MANUALLY UNLOCK MY DOOR IT WILL LOCK ITSELF IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AFTER. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2007 HONDA CRV. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN DEATH. LET ME REMIND YOU IT IS SEPTEMBER AND VERY HOT OUTSIDE AND HOTTER IN THE CAR. THIS COULD TRAP ME OR MY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS 4 TIMES THE PAST 2 YEARS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND 2 TIMES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS TIME THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT AND AFTER TRYING 2 NEW BULBS THEY STILL WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DASH LIGHT NOT COMING ON. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR A CHECK IN 4 DAYS. OVER THE LIFE OF THIS CAR THE BULBS SEEM TO LAST A VERY SHORT TIME. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK CAUSING AUTOMATIC LOCKS TO TRY TO RE-LOCK EVERY TIME I RESUMED DRIVING AFTER A STOP LIGHT/SIGN. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK BUTTON, REMOTE, OR MANUALLY. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED, BUT OCCASIONALLY, THE DOOR WILL LOCK ITSELF AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN IT VIA REMOTE, DRIVER'S DOOR BUTTON, OR MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED OR UNLOCKED, PUTTING PASSENGERS AT RISK EITHER WAY. *JS

CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. WHEN I USE THE KEY FOB OR THE UNLOCK SWITCH ON THE DOOR, DOORS UNLOCK AND INSTANTLY RE-LOCK THEMSELVES. IN ORDER TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE I NEED TO USE TWO HANDS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND PULL THE DOOR HANDLE. I NEED TWO PEOPLE TO OPEN THE TAIL GATE. *JS

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. THIS OCCURS WHEN CAR IS PARKED (SO ANYONE CAN OPEN THE CAR AND STEAL IT OR ANYTHING IN THE CAR) AND WHILE DRIVING (WHICH MEANS EVEN IF YOU HAVE LOCKED THE DOORS A PASSENGER CAN OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING). *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE WHEN THE AUTOMATIC 9MPH DESIGNED LOCK SYSTEM ENGAGED AND ALSO ANYTIME I LOCKED MY DOORS. I DISENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC 9MPH DESIGNED LOCK. BUT IT STILL DOES THIS WHEN I LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY. AT TIMES IT ALSO LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHEN I AM DRIVING. SINCE MY INSPECTION WAS DUE SHORTLY I WAITED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THEY QUOTED ME APPROX $350.00 TO REPAIR. SINCE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THAT TIME I ASK IF IT WOULD HURT TO LEAVE AS IS FOR AWHILE, THEY ADVISED ME NO, BUT AT SOME POINT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK ON UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW ALL THE PROBLEMS EVERYONE WAS HAVING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I CONFRONTED THE DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND I ASK HIM WHEN HONDA WAS GOING TO HAVE A RECALL. HE SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, SO MOST LIKELY THERE WILL BE NO RECALL. I HAVE 38, 000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED. HONDA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND IF YOU NEED TO LOCK YOUR DOORS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. *TT
