ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STATIC ELECTRICAL SHOCKING WHEN EXISTING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE SECOND DAY OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. STATIC ELECTRICITY SHOCK IS MORE PAINFUL THEN ORDINARY STATIC SHOCK. VISITED THE DEALER, STATED THAT HAPPENS WITH THE CLOTH SEATS AND NO REAL REMEDY FOR THE STATIC ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS. SUGGESTED I BUY ANTI STATIC SPRAY FOR THE SEATS. ANTI STATIC SPRAY HELPS THE SHOCK TO A LESSER DEGREE, BUT DOES NOT LAST LONG. PAINFUL SHOCKS COME BACK QUICKLY AFTER ANTISTATIC SPRAY NO LONGER WORKING. DURING THE RAIN SEASON, THE SHOCKS WERE LESS, BUT THE DRY SEASON IS BACK AND THE SHOCKS ARE BECOMING UNBEARABLE. CONCERN WITH INTENSE SHOCKS IF THEY MAY PLACE A PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER DEFIBRILLATOR IMPLANT IN DANGER. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER ACCELERATING THE 2007 HONDA CRV, THE AUTO CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. APPLYING THE BRAKES DID LITTLE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. AFTER 4/10TH OF A MILE THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STOPPED, AND AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED IT RACED AT FULL SPEED. IT WAS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF "PARK" AND INTO NEUTRAL. (4 ATTEMPTS WERE MADE OVER A 30 MIN PERIOD). VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC REPORTED THAN WHEN HE RECEIVED THE CAR HE NEED TO JUMP START THE 1 YEAR OLD BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR NORMALLY. HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND WILL CONTINUE TO RUN TESTS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
KEEP REPLACING HEADLIGHTS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS! IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND HONDA DOES NOT ADMIT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH 2005 HONDA C-RV. NOW THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL.TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND IF I DON'T LIKE THERE ANSWER I WILL GO ELSEWHERE! POSSIBLE LAWSUIT! *JS

AIR BAGS
MY 35 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN A SINGLE AUTO ACCIDENT IN HER 2002 HONDA CRV ON JAN. 6 IN WYTHEVILLE, VA RETURNING FROM KNOXVILLE, TN TO FREDERICK, MD. SHE BLACKED OUT AND HER CAR RAN OFF THE ROAD, IMPACTED A MILE MARKER SIGN, STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT AND HER CAR OVERTURNED FOUR TIMES. HER CAR WAS TOTALED BUT NEITHER THE FRONT, NOR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAGS WERE CHECKED AS PART OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL ON JULY 27, 2011 AT A HONDA DEALER IN KNOXVILLE, TN. SHE MIRACULOUSLY SURVIVED THE ACCIDENT BUT HAD A CONCUSSION AND A SEVERE LACERATION TO HER LEFT EAR. SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS WHEN THE RESCUE TEAM ARRIVED AND WAS AIRLIFTED TO ROANOKE FOR MEDICAL CARE. SINCE THE ACCIDENT SHE HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM POST CONCUSSIVE SYNDROME (CONSTANT HEADACHES, MEMORY LOSS, INSOMNIA, DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING). ACCORDING TO A TRUCKER WHO SAW THE ACCIDENT SHE NEVER HIT HER BRAKES AND WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. SHE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM HONDA AND WAS ONLY MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL WHEN TAKING HER CAR IN FOR OTHER MAINTENANCE. WHILE HER INJURIES WERE NOT FATAL, NOR DID SHE HAVE ANY BROKEN BONES, SHE DID SUFFER A CONCUSSION AND HAS HAD HEADACHES FOR THREE MONTHS. PERHAPS SHE WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED THE HEAD INJURY HAD HER AIRBAGS FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. WE HAVE PICTURES OF HER CAR WHICH CAN BE PROVIDED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
FRONT DRIVER AND TRUNK DOORS POWER LOCKS STOP WORKING. IT SEEMED TO BE VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR HONDA CR-VS 2007 AND YOUNGER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE TWO LATCHES WOULD COST ME STAGGERING $500. IT DEFINITELY SEEM TO BE THE DESIGN PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHY HONDA DOES NOT ACT TO RECALL THE PART, FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CR-V, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE LIGHT, AND FOUND IT TO BE A FAULTY FTP SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED OFF OF ANOTHER CR-V ON THE LOT. SINCE THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR, I HAVE HAD THE PHANTOM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF ABOUT EVERY MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2012, AND THEY FOUND THE FTP SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHERE IN THE SENSOR WAS BAD. THEY CLEARED THE CODE, AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AS I PULLED INTO SERVICE. APRIL 6, THE CHECK FUEL CAP LIGHT WAS FLASHING(WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE LIGHT IS ABOUT TO GO ON) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON APRIL 7. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME.THEY SAID I HAD YET ANOTHER BAD FTP SENSOR, AND REPLACED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A NEW PART IN STOCK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE. RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES ON, MY MILEAGE GOES FROM 27 MPG TO AROUND 22MPG. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HATCH WOULDN'T OPEN. NOTICED THE BACK LEFT DOOR WAS STUCK LOCKED WHILE OTHER DOORS OPENED WHEN UNLOCKED W/KEY REMOTE AND MANUALLY FROM FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SO I MANUALLY OPENED THE LOCK ON THE BACK LEFT DOOR WHICH ENABLED THE HATCH TO OPEN. FROM THEN, THE BACK LEFT DOOR WOULDN'T LOCK. NOTICED THIS WHILE DRIVING--MY SON OPENED DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, LUCKILY WE WEREN'T ON THE FREEWAY AND HE WAS IN A CHILD SEAT. OTHERWISE HE WOULD'VE FLEW OUT. THE DOOR SOUNDED LIKE IT LOCKED AS IT ALWAYS DID BUT DIDN'T REALIZED THE BACK DOOR WASN'T LOCKED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THREE TIMES DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING AT STOP LIGHT. ENGINE SEVERELY REVVED UP, HAD TO PUT VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. TOOK IT INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THEIR MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER AND HE HAD IT RECHECKED AND HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. HE COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE. SINCE THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, HE SAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT TO SEE IF THE SITUATION RECURRED. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW SIX MONTH OLD CAR AND HAVE LOST FAITH IN ITS RELIABILITY. *TR
