ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHEN USING THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, THEY RELOCKED AUTOMATICALLY IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND. THIS WAS INITIALLY OCCURRING SPORADICALLY, BUT WITHIN A WEEK PROGRESSED TO CONSTANTLY. EVEN UNLOCKING MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, IT RELOCKED ON ITS OWN BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE, AS I USE MY VEHICLE MOSTLY AS TRANSPORTATION FOR MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THE FIRST TIME IT KEPT LOCKING ON ME, MY BABY WAS IN HER CAR SEAT AND I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME. I MUST NOW SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND USE MY OTHER HAND TO OPEN THE DOOR TO BE ABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT HE HADN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT IT WOULD COST $ 127 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO TRY TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY RIGHT BACK DOOR DOESN'T LOCK ANYMORE. WHEN I LOCK IT SLOWLY UNLOCKS ITSELF ON ITS OWN. SO A WHILE IT WOULD REMAIN LOCKED IF I LOCKED BY KEY FOGGER BUT NOW IT DOESN'T LOCK AT ALL. IT APPEARS TO LOCK BUT EVENTUALLY UNLOCKS ITSELF. IT WOULD APPEAR TO LOCK BUT WHILE DRIVING UNLOCKS ITSELF. VERY DANGEROUS FOR SMALL KIDS IN BACK. I TOOK TO HONDA AND IT IS $400 TO GET FIXED. PLUS THEY HAVE TO ORDER PARTS SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL UNTIL PARTS COME IN. IF I COULD MANUALLY LOCK DOOR THAT IS DIFFERENT ISSUE BUT IT UNLOCKS ITSELF EVEN MANUALLY. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS TO BE FIXED AS IT IS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN UNLOCKING THE CAR TO EITHER ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE CAR LOCKS AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY IN LESS THAN A SECOND. THIS OCCURS WHEN USING THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE CAR AS WELL AS WHEN UNLOCKING THE CAR FROM ANY DOOR BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE MANUALLY. IN ADDITION TO THIS MALFUNCTION BEING A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE WITH NEARLY HAVING LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF THE CAR NUMEROUS TIMES (PARTICULARLY AT THE GAS PUMP AND IN STORE PARKING LOTS), IT MOST CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT BOTH ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME, LET ALONE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS IN TOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 CR-V SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE (AT LEAST 4 TIMES THAT I CAN REMEMBER). THE LIGHTS GO OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING (THE EXACT SPEED IS UNKNOWN). THIS OBVIOUSLY PRESENTS A VERY GREAT SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED AS MY WIFE AND NEWBORN BABY SOMETIMES USE THIS CAR. THE LAST TIME WE HAD THE BULBS REPLACED, THERE APPEARED TO BE SCORCH MARKS ON THE WIRE CONNECTOR THAT ATTACHES TO THE BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE MANY FORUM POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF DRIVERS WHO HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES TO MINE WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR (2005) AND ALSO WITH 2006 CR-VS. HERE IS "ONE" OF THE FORUM THREADS CONTAINING SUCH POSTS: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-CR-V/TLND3JKAUI93FS68G/P8 IF YOU COULD PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

SEAT BELTS, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, EQUIPMENT
2001 HONDA CRV DOES NOT MEET THE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR PROPERLY INSTALLING MY BOOSTER CAR SEATS AS IT IS MISSING THE LATCH ANCHORING SYSTEM TO PROPERLY HOOK THE BOOSTER SEAT. AFTER TALKING TO THE HONDA DEALER WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE CAR SHOULD HAVE COME WITH IT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO SHOW ME WHERE IT WAS AND SAID THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE LATCH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE BOUGHT OUR 2005 CR-V SE IN SUM 10 AND LOVE THE VEHICLE. SINCE THEN HOWEVER, WE'VE HAD TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BULBS APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 12 TIMES. SOMETIMES A SINGLE BULB, SOMETIMES BOTH... THEY SIMPLY GO OUT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. WE EVEN HAD TO RIDE HOME ONE NIGHT WITH "HIGH BEAMS" BECAUSE THE BOTH LOW BEAMS SIMPLY FAILED. THE NEXT DAY WE PURCHASED NEW BULBS, INSTALLED THEM ON THE CR-V, AND NOW THE LOW-BEAMS WORK, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOT. IT'S KIND OF GETTING OLD BUYING NEW BULBS EVERY FEW MONTHS! MY PROBLEM/CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A KNOWN RECALL FOR A EXTREMELY SIMILAR ISSUE ON 2002 THRU 2004 CR-V MODELS. THAT RECALLS SUMMARY STATES: "DUE TO TENSION FROM THE COMBINATION SWITCH WIRING HARNESS, WEAR ON THE SURFACE OF THE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL CAN OCCUR, YIELDING COPPER OXIDE, WHICH INCREASES ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE MAY CAUSE THE TERMINAL ENDS TO MELT WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR." THE CONSEQUENCE LISTED ON THIS RECALL IS: "IF THE TERMINAL ENDS MELT WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE, REDUCING DRIVER VISIBILITY AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE, IT SEEMS THE RECALL LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2005 CR-V MODELS AS WELL. WE'VE LOOKED AT CURRENT RECALLS FOR OUR VEHICLE UNDER THE HONDA OWNERS SITE AND THERE ARE NONE LISTED FOR OUR VIN... ? HONDA MAY WANT TO RE-VISIT THIS RECALLS COVERAGE BEFORE ANY OTHER 2005 CR-V OWNER'S HEADLIGHTS GO OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING... THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! *TR

AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT (AIRBAG SENSOR) CONTINUED TO STAY LIT ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER (WEST HILLS HONDA IN BREMERTON, WA) WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THEY "FOUND" A "CODE 7-2 IN THE SYSTEM", INDICATING THERE WAS AN "SRS CONTROL UNIT FAILURE". ESSENTIALLY, THE ELECTRICAL UNIT THAT WOULD DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS HAD FAILED, WHICH MEANT I NO LONGER HAD THE POTENTIAL USE OF MY VEHICLES AIRBAGS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE COST FOR A NEW PART WAS $659.95, LABOR AN ADDITIONAL $100.00, WHICH MEANT A BILL CLOSE TO $800.00 WITH TAX. FAR BEYOND MY RETIREMENT INCOME TO HANDLE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE, SIMILAR TO A SEAT BELT PROBLEM (WHICH HONDA WOULD TAKE CARE OF FOR FREE). THIS SRS CONTROL UNIT RARELY FAILS, THEY TOLD ME. IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT DUE TO MY NEGLIGENCE OR LACK OF ATTENTION TO PROPER MAINTENANCE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT SINCE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, AND WAS NOT CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA. OTHERWISE, MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE AT RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I COULD CERTAINLY USE YOUR HELP IN CONVINCING HONDA TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY UNIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

MY SON REALIZED HIS DOOR WASN'T LOCKED AND TRIED TO MANUALLY LOCK IT WHICH EVENTUALLY IT UNLOCKED ITSELF AGAIN. I TOOK TO HONDA AND IT IS $400 TO GET FIXED. PLUS THEY HAVE TO ORDER PARTS SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL UNTIL PARTS COME IN. IF I COULD MANUALLY LOCK DOOR THAT IS DIFFERENT ISSUE BUT IT UNLOCKS ITSELF EVEN MANUALLY. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS TO BE FIXED FOR A SMALL CHILD GETS HURT! *TR
