VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PARKED IN MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE SPOT JUST AS I NORMALLY DO. I PULLED IN THE SPOT GOING VERY SLOWLY, AND EVEN THOUGH I AM COMPLETELY CONVINCED THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, ONCE THE CAR WAS IN THE SPOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR REASON SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BEAM THAT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY PARKING SPOT. I AM SURE THERE WAS NOTHING I DID TO CAUSE THIS. THE WEATHER WAS VERY COLD THAT DAY, AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NUMEROUS OTHER DAYS I HAVE PARKED IN THE SAME PARKING GARAGE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR DID NOT SKID FORWARD, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ICE, AND I HAD A VERY DISTINCT SENSATION OF THE CAR ENGINE REVVING UP ON ITS OWN WHEN IT ACCELERATED. I WAS BRUISED WHERE THE SEAT BELT WAS POSITIONED ACROSS MY CHEST, BUT OTHERWISE I WAS OKAY. THE CAR SUSTAINED APPROXIMATELY $8,000 IN DAMAGES. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CRV. I'VE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR. IN NOVEMBER 2009, I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS AND GUESS WHAT-- TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT! UNBELIEVABLE. SERVICE DEPT. TELLS ME I MUST BE GETTING FAULTY BULBS, BUT I NOTICED ON THE OLD BULB THAT THE METAL LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN HOT. *TR

TIRES
I PURCHASED MY HONDA CR-V IN JUNE OF 2008. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE TIRES SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN SO FAST AND THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIRE. THE VEHICLE NOW PLUS STRONGLY TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT DUE TO THE TIRE WEAR. THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL HONDA'S AND CAN SAY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS ONE AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER. *TR

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER, EQUIPMENT, STRUCTURE
IN 2007, WE PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV TO TOW, FOUR WHEELS DOWN. WE PURCHASED THE BLUE OX AVENTA LX, BX7445 TOW BAR CLASS IV (10,000 LB FOR A 2 INCH RECEIVER) AND THE BASE PLATE BX2246 MADE FOR THE 2007 HONDA CR-V\, WE FOUND THAT THE FRONT FASCIA OF THE HONDA HAD PULLED AWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THE BLUE OX BASE PLATE HAD FAILED. I MEAN, TOTALLY FAILED, THE METAL (NOT THE BOLTS) HAD RIPPED, THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES, WHERE THE BASE PLATE IS ATTACHED (BOLTED) TO THE FRAME. THE BASE PLATE, WAS NOW ONLY BEING HELD (AND ALSO OUR VEHICLE) ONLY BY THE SAFETY CABLES. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ON APRIL 11 2009 I PURCHASED FOUR NEW BRIDGESTONE DUELLER H/T 684 TIRES FOR MY 2004 HONDA CRV. ON APRIL 23 I HAD R & M AUTOMOTIVE IN NORTHRIDGE, CA ALIGN THE WHEELS ON THE CRV. R & M IS MY REGULAR MECHANIC FOR THIS CAR. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 83875. ON NOVEMBER 26, 2009 I NOTICED EXPOSED STEEL BELTS ON THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE OTHER THREE TIRES. THE CAR MILEAGE WAS 92763. I WAS TOLD THIS EXTREME TIRE WEAR WAS THE RESULT OF IMPROPER ALIGNMENT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE STORE WHERE I BOUGHT THEM. THEY DID HOWEVER NOTE THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND INSTALLED THE SPARE TIRE. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO R & M WHERE THEY CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. R& M THOUGHT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE TIRES AND OFFERED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL. R& M REPLACED THE TIRES AT NO COST. I STILL HAVE THE TIRES IN MY POSSESSION AND I BELIEVE THEY WERE FLAWED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I DISCOVERED THIS SITUATION BEFORE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THE TIRES HAD ONLY 8,400 MILES ON THEM AND I WASN'T CHECKING THEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 30,000 MILES. I HAVE USED THESE TIRES BEFORE AND THEY PERFORMED WELL AND I GOT 40-50,000 MILES OF WEAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, SUSPENSION:REAR
AFTER THREE SERVICE ATTEMPTS BY THE HONDA DEALER TO CORRECT THE CAR NOT TRACKING STRAIGHT, I HAD A LOCAL ALIGNMENT SHOP INSTALL REAR CAMBER ADJUSTING KITS. CAR DID NOT TRACK STRAIGHT, PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE AFTER-MARKET KITS, THE CAR WOULD CONTINUALLY DRIFT LEFT. THE DEALER NOW STATES THE WARRANTY IS VOID BECAUSE I PUT NON-HONDA PARTS ON THE CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE THE SAME AFTER MARKET REAR CAMBER KIT. SEARCHING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON SITES SUCH AS EDMOUND'S, A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT TIRE WEAR. MY TIRES WERE WEARING EXCESSIVELY AND ABNORMAL PRIOR TO CORRECTING ALIGNMENT ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. IT APPEARS THAT THE 2008 HONDA CR-V HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND LATER YEAR CARS DO NOT WHEN A SEARCH OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS IS DONE. *TR

STEERING
MY 2007 HONDA CRV FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW MODEL HAS HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR TO RIGHT OR LEFT THE CAR MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATES, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALMOST LIKE THE STEERING WILL GIVE OUT IF YOU TURN TOO FAR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2009 CR-V HIGH BEAMS - LITTLE IN-CLOSE LIGHTING 2009 CR-V HIGH BEAMS OFFERS VERY LITTLE IN-CLOSE/FILL LIGHTING. HIGH BEAMS OFFER "REACH" BUT LIGHTING IS WEAK AND DIFFUSED. HIGH BEAM LIGHT BEAM IS ELEVATED FROM THE GROUND GIVING VERY LITTLE IN-CLOSE ILLUMINATION. UNLIKE LOW BEAMS, LOW BEAM FILAMENTS TURN OFF WHEN HIGH BEAMS ARE TURNED ON SO VERY LITTLE IN-CLOSE, NEAR GROUND LIGHTING IS OFFERED. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM MANEUVERING TIGHT TURNS AND POORLY LIT HIGHWAY CLOVERLEAF EXITS SINCE THERE IS VERY LITTLE IN-CLOSE LIGHTING WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. CAR BROUGHT TO HONDA SERVICE AND REPORTED TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR
