VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BEGAN TO SAG AND FINALLY WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. I ALSO HIT MY HEAD ROUTINELY ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. DEALER ADVISES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PATTERN OF FAILURE WITH VISORS ON THE 2006 CRV, AND ARE ONLY AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH VISORS ON CIVICS. I HAVE READ BLOGS SHOWING THERE ARE ACTUALLY NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILURES, AND REPEATED REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2006 MODEL. THEY ADVISE THE CHARGE WILL BE $150.00 PLUS LABOR TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
AFTER UNLOCKING THE DOOR THE DOOR THEN LOCKS ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN YOU UNLOCK MANUALLY OR UNLOCK USING THE FOB. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT LOCKS YOU IN THE CAR AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FIRST PROBLEM UNCOVERED: THE DRIVER'S DOOR CANNOT BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED WITH A KEY. MY DAUGHTER DROVE THE CAR TO A CONCERT USING THE VALET KEY AND DISCOVERED AT MIDNIGHT THAT SHE COULDN'T ENTER THE CAR. AFTER FAMILY ARRIVED WITH ELECTRONIC KEY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WOULD NOT MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. FOLLOWING THAT INCIDENT WE NOTICED THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL RANDOMLY RE-LOCK ITSELF AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THE DOOR HAS INITIALLY UNLOCKED. THE LOCKING SYSTEM SOMETIMES MAKES A "WHIRRING" WHEN ENGAGED. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT: THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR AND THE HATCH REFUSED TO UNLOCK USING EITHER THE ELECTRONIC KEY OR THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROLS. ALSO, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR COULDN'T BE OPENED MANUALLY USING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR ITSELF- IT WOULDN'T BUDGE! THE NEXT DAY, THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF... AT LEAST FOR NOW. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE BLOWS OUT HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY. WE REPLACE NEARLY EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS; THIS VEHICLE, AND ITS TWIN, OUR 2005 CRV. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED HONDA OF THE PROBLEM, THEY DENY A PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE HEADLIGHTS ONLY WORK FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES EACH. WE EVEN HAVE SEARCHED AMAZON, EBAY TO SEE IF THEY SELL THEM IN HUNDRED PACKS, ITS THAT RIDICULOUS. WE WERE HEADING TO THE STORE TO BUY A HEADLAMP ONCE--10 MINUTE TRIP, TOPS, AND THE OTHER BLEW OUT ON THE WAY, LEAVING US DRIVING ILLEGALLY WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE, AND DANGEROUS, IRRITATION WITH THESE CARS. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SEVERAL BULBS ON HAND AS A CONDITION OF OWNING A CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE FORWARD MOTION SUDDENLY CUT OUT. LUCKILY WE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OR 4 PEOPLE WOULD BE DEAD. THE CAR HAD JUST HAD A TRIP INSPECTION WITHIN 10 DAYS, ALL SYSTEMS GO, AND WE TOOK THE CAR SHOPPING IN THE MORNING WITH NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER BY PERFORMANCE, NOISE, ETC THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS TOTAL AND SUDDEN. HONDA DENIES ANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, WHICH, IF I LIVED IN A DIFFERENT STATE, WOULD BE A LEMON. ITS HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO OUT, AND IT AND ITS TWIN, A 2006 CRV, BOTH HAD BROKEN AC AROUND 90000 MILES. THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR IS $4300. THIS PIECE OF JUNK METAL IS NOW THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED IN TERMS OF OWNER COST. *TR

AC COMPLETE FAILURE WITH NO WARNING AT 90000 MILES. ITS TWIN CAR, 2006 CRV HAD EXACT SAME PROBLEM AT SAME MILEAGE ALMOST A YEAR TO THE DAY LATER. $1400 REPAIR, SYSTEM TOTALLY SHOT WITH NO WARNING. HONDA DENIES PROBLEMS IN THESE VEHICLE YEARS, BUT PAID PART OF THE COST OF REPAIR AS WE NOTED TO THEM THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE 2003 AND 2004 CRVS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE, AND ITS TWIN, A 2006 CRV, CONSTANTLY HAVE BLOWN OUT HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS). THEY BLOW OUT EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES, WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE, ANNOYING, AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. HONDA DENIES A PROBLEM, BUT BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES WE HAVE REPLACED DOZENS AND DOZENS OF HEADLAMPS, WE NOW BUY THEM THREE AT A TIME TO CUT DOWN OUR TRIPS TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE. WE RARELY USE THE HEADLIGHTS IN DAYTIME, ONLY WHEN NECESSARY, WHICH I FEEL IS COMPROMISING SAFETY, SINCE THE LIGHTS GO OUT ON SUCH A CONSTANT BASIS. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AT 90,000. ITS TWIN, A 2005 CRV, HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AT THE SAME MILEAGE. THIS REPAIR WAS $900. THE AC HAD RECENTLY HAD A TUNEUP, AS WE WERE CONCERNED OVER IT DUE TO THE OLDER CAR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHECKUP SHOWED NO ISSUES; FAILURE WAS SUDDEN. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPER INTERMITTENT SETTING DID NOT WORK AND THEN WHEN THE RAIN STOPPED, THE WIPER OFF SETTING DID NOT WORK RIGHT AWAY. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING, BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT "PARK" IN THE PROPER POSITION. THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THUS INTERFERING WITH VISION. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TURN THEM OFF IN THE CORRECT PARKED POSITION. IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT A HIGH SPEED ON A WET ROAD SURFACE WITH POOR VISIBILITY DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE WIPER BLADES. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING MY WIPERS PULL THE WATER BACK ACROSS IN FRONT OF ME THE DRIVER THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD IT BLOCKS MY VIEW AND AT NIGHT IT IS ALMOST TO WHERE YOU WOULD RATHER STAY HOME IF ITS RAINING CAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HONDA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THEY HAVE SAID AFTER CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES AND TRYING TO BEND THE ARM AND MULTIPLE RAIN X APPLICATIONS THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. THEY SAID THAT CHANGING THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT HELP, AND TO ME BY LOOKING AT THE AUTOMOBILE IF THE LIP DOWN THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT THERE THE WATER WOULD BE SLUNG OFF THE SIDE VERSE BEING HELD ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ETC AND EVEN HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHILE TRAVELING BECAUSE THE RAINING ISSUE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. THIS IS BECOMING A LARGE PROBLEM AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS JUST UNSAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS CORRECTED IF ANYONE COULD HELP. IT WAS NICE TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM THEY KEEP TELLING ME NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN THE RAIN VERY UNNERVING AND VERY HAZARDOUS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE LOCKING SYSTEM ON MY 2009 HONDA CRV HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE FRONT AND BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY ITSELF, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WILL MAKE SQUEAKING NOISES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL WHETHER IT IS TURNED OFF OR RUNNING. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES AND IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR A SMALL CHILD TO OPEN THE DOOR AND FALL OUT. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER SAID THAT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY CONCERN AND RECALL HAS HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN PLACE. THEY ALSO SAID SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY IT WOULD COST $400 PER DOOR TO FIX THE LOCKING PROBLEM. BASICALLY THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN TO HONDA THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME MY TWO-YEAR OLD CAN BE LOCKED IN THE CAR WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO GET HER OUT OR EVEN WORSE OPENING THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA DRIVER MY ENTIRE LIFE (7 CARS TOTAL) AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THEM UNTIL NOW. THIS IS A VERY BAD MOVE ON THEIR PART AND HAVE LOST A VERY LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR

RIGHT REAR DOOR AND HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK EITHER MANUALLY OR THROUGH THE POWER LOCKING SYSTEM. DEALER DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS THE RESULT OF FAULTY ACTUATORS AND FORCED ME TO PAY OVER $600 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN ERROR AS THERE ARE OTHER REPORTED CASES OF THIS HAPPENING. IT WAS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AS PASSENGERS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN THE CAR. *TR
