VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT GETS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, THUS NOT CLOSING THE WINDOW. SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE WINDOW WILL STICK AND NOT DISENGAGE TO ROLL BACK DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO TO HONDA WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. THE ADVISOR DID NOT READ RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD ME THAT THE WINDOW WOULD BE SEALED. TWO HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW WAS STICK STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION NOT FIXED. 12/15/2012, TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO HONDA. I TOLD THE ATTENDANT THAT THE MASTER POWER SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL. THE WINDOW IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. THE ADVISOR THEN SAID IT IS A MOTOR PROBLEM, AND DISREGARDED THE RECALL NOTICE. I SAID I WILL CALL AMERICAN HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
HONDA CRV 2007 ISSUE: DOORS WHEN LOCKED BY EITHER REMOTE OR VIA CAR WOULD LOCK ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVERS. HONDA DID COVER IT THE FIRST TIME THEN A YEAR LATER THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO THE FRONT CENTER DOOR LIGHT (RIGHT SIDE) FAILS TO TURN ON WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS, IT WILL HOWEVER TURN ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON. EVEN GOT A NEW BULB BUT ISSUE REMAINED. I USE TO THINK HONDA WAS A GREAT CAR DO BASIC MAINTENANCE AND YOU SHOULD BE SET. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ON THIS CAR AND HONDA HAS NOT EVEN NOTIFIED ME OF EVEN ONE OF THOSE AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP THEY DIDN'T MENTION THE RECALL BUT STATED IT WOULD COST $600. TSB NUMBER & ISSUE DATE TSB TITLE 11-050 OCT 11 RECALL - ECM/TCM UPDATES TO PREVENT A/T DAMAGE TSB TITLE 08-070 SEP 08 CAMPAIGN - POWER STEERING PUMP SEIZURE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
IN AUGUST, 2010, WE PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES. ON DECEMBER 7, 2012 , MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT TO OUR REAR TIRE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE-95 IN FLORIDA AT A HIGH SPEED ((70MPH) CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF OUR 2007 HONDA CRV. WE SWERVING ACROSS SIX LANES OF TRAFFIC, ALMOST FLIPPED, AND NARROWLY AVOIDED CRASHING INTO CONCRETE A WALL BEFORE I FINALLY OBTAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO PULLEY OFF ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. OUR VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY GOODYEAR IN OCTOBER, AND THE TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND ROTATED AT THAT TIME. AT THE TIME OF THE BLOWOUT, THE TIRES ONLY HAD 27,000 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE WARRANTIED FOR 65,000 MILES. WE CONTACTED THE GOODYEAR STORE THE NEXT DAY, AND THE MANAGER INSPECTED THE TIRE AND COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY THE TIRE BLEW OUT. HE ASKED IF WE HIT SOMETHING. WE DIDN'T HIT A THING. WE JUST HEARD A POP. THE ASSISTANT MANAGER OF THE STORE STATED, "THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY," REGARDING OUR STATEMENT THAT WE HIT NOTHING. THE TIRE WAS NOT TORN, BUT WAS SPLIT FROM RIM TO RIM, COMPLETELY SEVERING THE BELTS. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT AND OTHER DRIVERS COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED AS WELL. WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN. GOODYEAR CLAIMS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, BUT WE HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT BLOWOUTS ON GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRES. GOODYEAR OFFERED US A SMALL PRICE ADJUSTMENT TO REPLACE OUR TIRES, BUT WE ARE AFRAID TO PURCHASE GOODYEAR TIRES. GOODYEAR MUST RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ABOUT A MONTH AGO. 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 HESITATION PERIOD, THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV, AND THE CAR JUST COASTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIME THIS PAST MONTH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM TRYING TO MERGE INTO FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION NOR FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME THEY REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA NATIONAL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STATE HIGHWAY ONTO AN INTERSTATE THE ACCELERATOR STUCK WIDE OPEN. BEFORE I COULD ASSESS THE PROBLEM MY SPEED HAD REACHED 80 MPH. USING THE BRAKES DID NOTHING. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BY TAPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. IN RESEARCHING CR-V'S I FOUND THAT THE PROBABLE CAUSE IS A BROKEN CRUISE CONTROL CABLE. NOTE: THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. NOTE: THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ACTIVATED WHILE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THEM FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE BURNING OUT TOO. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GLOVE BOX LIGHT, THE TEMPERATUE CONTROL, AIR CONDITIONING, RECIRCULATE, ODOMETER LIGHTS. NOW THE RPM LIGHT IS STARTING TO GO. IT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE TO BE REPLACING ALL THESE LIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE $8.99 EACH AND I PAID $230 TO REPLACE THE DASH LIGHTS. AFTER REPLACEING THE DASH LIGHTS, WHEN I USE THE REMOTE TO UNCLOCK MY CAR, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK THREE TIMES (THEY NEVER DID THAT BEFORE). I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL I HEAR A HIGH PITCH NOISE. I AM WORRIED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHEN THE STORE IS CLOSED AND I CAN'T GET IT FIXED. I MAY GET A TICKET OR GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK IN THE DARK. ALSO WHAT IF BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS. I WORRY THAT MY SPEDOMETER MAY GO I AND I WON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER THAT I THINK THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT THEY INSIST THERE IS NOT. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM. *TR

SEATS
THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATER OVER HEATED AND CAUGHT A TOTE BAG THAT WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT ON FIRE. ACCORDING TO THE USERS MANUAL THE BACK OF THE SEAT DOES NOT HAVE A HEATING ELEMENT DUE TO THE SIDE AIR BAG--MY CAR'S SEAT BACK DOES HEAT UP. IN FACT IT GETS VERY HOT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK WAS INSTALLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE--AND AS A RESULT I BELIEVE THAT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY IF NEEDED. HUGHES HONDA IN WARNER ROBINS GA CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND ARE INVESTIGATING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD STOPPED FOR A BLOCKED ROADWAY ON THE INTERSTATE. ONCE I COULD GO, I ACCELERATED. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL, REACHING OVER 90 MPH. I PUMPED THE BRAKE, GAS, AND WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A LOWER SPEED FOR OVER A MILE ON THE INTERSTATE. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND ENSURED THAT NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY. LUCKILY, TRAFFIC HAD BEEN STOPPED PREVIOUS TO THE OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE THROTTLE CABLE WAS JUNKY AND I PAID TO FIX IT. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT THEN. TODAY MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK DOWN TO SPEED. I APPLIED THE BRAKE, EMERGENCY BRAKE, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, AND THEN TOOK THE KEY OUT. *TR
