AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
THE DRIVER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY IN MY 2002 HONDA CRV WHEN MY FRONT END CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A PICK UP TRUCK THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING 45 BEFORE IMPACT SO AFTER BREAKING, ESTIMATE 35-40 MPH WHEN I HIT. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AGAIN, MY DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR. I FRACTURED MY STERNUM, A MODERATELY SERIOUS INJURY THAT 2 DOCTORS TOLD ME DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE DUE TO AIRBAGS. MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON 6 MONTHS AGO. KNOWING THAT WAS A SAFETY WARNING WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE, WHICH THEY REPLACED. THEY THEN CLEARED THE SRS LIGHT AND IT HAS NOT COME BACK ON. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND THEY SAID THOSE ARE FINE. I'VE BEEN TO 3 LAW FIRMS. THEY ALL SAID IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED AS THE DIAGNOSTICS DICTATED AND THAT I JUST WASN'T INJURED ENOUGH TO TAKE ON HONDA. IT WOULD COST A FIRM ROUGHLY $100K OVER 2 YEARS TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND "ONLY" A FRACTURED STERNUM AND 4-6 WEEKS OFF WORK WOULDN'T PAY OUT ENOUGH TO COVER ATTORNEYS FEES. THEY ALL SAID A PERSON NEEDS TO BE PARALYZED OR DEAD TO BE WORTH TACKLING A BIG CORPORATION. I CALLED HONDA. THEY SAID SOMETIMES ONLY 1 AIRBAG GOES OFF DEPENDING ON HOW THE CAR IS HIT AND WHILE THEY CARE, THEY DON'T DO INVESTIGATIONS. I REQUESTED AN AIRBAG INVESTIGATION FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY NOTED THAT REQUEST AS PART OF THE SUBROGATION PROCESS. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IF FRACTURED STERNUM ARE AN INJURY OF THE PAST BECAUSE AIRBAGS PREVENT THAT INJURY, AND THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO FRACTURE MY STERNUM, THEN THE FORCE OF THE FULL FRONTAL IMPACT WAS ENOUGH TO TRIGGER BOTH AIRBAGS. IT'S FORTUNATE I WAS ONLY GOING 35-40 AND NOT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR MY HUSBAND WOULD BE ABLE TO FILE A LAWSUIT. HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND THINKING THEY ARE PROTECTED? I LOVED MY CRV . I'D LIKE TO GET ANOTHER, BUT I'M AFRAID. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 CR-V HAD THE "BLACK DEATH" ISSUE LAST MAY OF 08. THAT SEEMED ODD ENOUGH TO ME THAT A COMPRESSOR WOULD GO THAT SOON IN SUCH A "RELIABLE" CAR. MY WHOLE FAMILY OWNS HONDAS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST 3200 TO FIX IT. THAT MY COMPRESSOR "EXPLODED" (LOL, I AM NOT AN IDIOT, UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM). I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC, WHO SHOWED ME THE LOCKED SPRINGS INSIDE THE COMPRESSOR, AND SAID IT WAS INDEED "ODD" TO SEE AN AC FAILURE THAT SOON. AFTER HE FIXED IT UP FOR 1300. I GOT A CALL FROM THE HONDA SERVICEMAN OFFERING TO MAYBE "WORK SOMETHING OUT". WELL, WITH A SMALL CHILD. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BARGAIN FOR AC IN MAY IN SOUTH FLORIDA, SO HE WAS A TAD TOO LATE. I DID NOT KNOW, UNTIL MY COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN TODAY, THAT THERE WAS THIS ISSUE AND WAS KNOWN. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA, WHO WERE NO HELP AT ALL, AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME 105.00 TO DIAGNOSE IT, AND I WOULD NOT BE CHARGED IF I FIXED IT THERE. HMMM. HONDA AMERICA SAYS THEY WILL ONLY TAKE ESTIMATES FROM HONDA DEALERS AND NOT OTHER STATE LICENSED MECHANIC. SOUNDS VERY FISHY TO ME!! I AM NOW OUT AC (DRIVING 40 MILES TO WORK AT THE TAIL END OF THE FLU), AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH MONEY NEXT. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR IT ALL THEY SAID ALREADY, AND THEY HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN A QUOTE. I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO DO SOMETHING! I AM SO ANGERED THAT THEY WOULD JUST BRUSH IT UNDER THE RUG LIKE THAT. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE. I HAVE SIGNED THE LAWSUIT PETITION, BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I KNOW IT'S OCTOBER, BUT IT'S HOT HERE IN FL!!! ANY IDEAS?? AT THIS POINT, I AM DEFINITELY NOT BUYING ANOTHER HONDA!!!! NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THAT, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS THING EVERY YEAR, AND NEITHER SHOULD I!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ACCELERATOR ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV HAS GOTTEN STUCK TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I CHECKED FOR FLOOR OBSTRUCTIONS. NONE WERE PRESENT. I FINALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO A STOP, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE. THE OCCURRENCES WERE 2 DAYS APART. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE LATCH ON THE GATE THAT LOCKS THE GLASS BACK WINDOW INTO PLACE IS COVERED IN A WHITE PLASTIC THAT FALLS APART FROM SUN EXPOSURE. THIS CAUSES THE METAL PART MOUNTED IN THE GLASS WINDOW THAT YOU PUSH INTO THE LATCH ON THE GATE TO RATTLE . THE GLASS WINDOW CLOSES BUT THE WHOLE GLASS IS LOSE, NOT TIGHT. ON THE INTERSTATE THIS STARTS THE GLASS TO RATTLE AND I AM AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I HAVE TO SLAM MY BRAKES ON AT HIGHER SPEEDS SINCE THE GLASS IS NOT SECURE. I TALKED WITH A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT FORD HAD WITH THE EXPLORERS THAT CAUSED THEM TO BE RECALLED. I THOUGH I SHOULD BRING IT YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THAT RECALL TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GLASS SHATTERED AND COVERED THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR WITH GLASS FRAGMENTS WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. UNLESS YOU REALLY PAY ATTENTION, YOU WOULDN'T NOTICE THE PLASTIC FALLING OFF THE LOCKING DEVICE AND THAT THE WINDOW IS NOT SECURE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
HONDA 98 CRV AND 97 CIVIC BOTH HAVE HAD THE PAD (THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED, $4 PART) BREAK AND THIS CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. DRIVER HAS NO WARNING AND DRIVING WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON CAUSES THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE DRIVER TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES ON AT HIGHER SPEEDS WHICH CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT. A WORKER AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE SEEING A LOT OF CARS THIS AGE HAVE THIS BREAKAGE AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE TO DO WITH USAGE (BOTH CARS HAVE LESS THEN 50,000 MILES ON THEM). THE BROKEN PIECES TURN YELLOW THUS I THINK THEY CANNOT TAKE HIGH HEAT AND FAIL BECAUSE THE HEAT BREAKS THEM DOWN. I FIXED THE PROBLEM BY BUYING A NEW PART AND HAVE THE PIECES IF YOU WOULD LIKE THEM OF THE OLD PART. I AM CONCERNED THAT PEOPLES LIVES ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER BECAUSE A CHEAP PLASTIC WAS USED INSTEAD OF ONE THAT WAS MADE FOR CONDITIONS INSIDE A CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING TO PORTLAND, OR. FROM WA HEARD A LOUD SQUEAL FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. TURNS OUT THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS BURNED OUT AT 84K MILES. HONDA SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. THE ONE SERPENTINE BELT DRIVES THE WATER PUMP, POWER STEERING PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THE PORTLAND DEALER WOULD NOT ADVISE ME TO DRIVE IT AT ALL. IF THE BELT BURNS OFF DO TO THE A/C COMPRESSOR SEIZURE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WOULD STOP POSSIBLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON AND OFF FOR SOME 10000 MILES. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRAVELING AND DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL TIRES COOL DOWN. THE DEALER HAS TRIED MANY TIMES TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT UNABLE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THEY HAVE FAILED TO REPLACE ANY OF THE SENSORS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT ALSO CONTROLS OTHER SYSTEMS. *TR

AIR BAGS
HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, BOTH DOING AT LEAST 50 MPH. AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. VEHICLES INVOLVED WERE MY 08 HONDA CRV AND A 95 CHEVROLET CAMARO. CAR WAS TAKEN TO BODY SHOP WITH $9,000 IN DAMAGES. ONCE REPAIRED, AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS TOLD BY BODY SHOP IT NEEDED A NEW SENSOR, NEW ABS VALVE AND SEAT BELT BUCKLE. HONDA DEALER IS TRYING TO SAY I WAS HIT TOO HIGH FOR THE SENSORS BUT I WAS HIT HARD ENOUGH TO BEND THE FLANGES ON THE SIDE FRAME RAIL 4 BOLT MOUNT. HONDA DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO DISCUSS WITH ME. *TR

STEERING
MY 2007 HONDA CRV HAS HAD A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. SO BAD THAT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT CAUSES THE CAR TO CROSS TO THE RIGHT LANE IN LESS THAN 4 SECONDS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY CLAIM IT IS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM (3 ALIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE CAR AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS) OR SIMPLY SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE IT OR DON'T SEE A PROBLEM. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARDS THE LEFT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM CROSSING TO THE RIGHT LANE. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM DESPITE MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
INVOLVING A 2008 HONDA CRV, NEW; PURCHASED IN TEXAS/REG. IN TEXAS. 8/19/09 DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR THE VSA LIGHT AND SYMBOL CAME ON, I FELT THE BRAKES OR TIRES GRABBING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE; IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAITED, "CAUSE: M99, CODES P0102, P0141 P0340, CLEARED LIGHT AND TEST DROVE. 9/14/09,ONE MONTH LATER THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY; THE TIRES OR BRAKES GRABBED AGAIN RESULTING IN MY HAVING TO PULL OFF TO ALLOW THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO PASS UNTIL IT WAS SAFE TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY SLOWLY. I WENT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING 9/15/09. "CAUSE: F, M99 SEE NOTES 16 W93, 9814 HAD SAME CODES AS BEFORE; PERFORMED AVAILABLE SOFTWARE UPDATE AND TEST DROVE. IF CODES COME BACK AGAIN WILL NEED NEW ECU." THAT EVENING, STARTED THE CAR UP TO GO TO WORK, THE LIGHTS CAME ON, VSA, VSA SYMBOL AND ENGINE LIGHT; I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE ECU. WHEN I CAME OUT FROM WORK AND STARTED THE CAR THE SAME LIGHTS WERE ON PLUS THE BATTERY LIGHT. ON 9/16/09 I WENT TO THE DEALER, "CAUSE: E M99 REPLACED ECU AND TEST DROVE 16 W93, 1 913931 ECU. CODES P0141, P0340, P16BC, 83-1. I WAS ASSURED NOT GUARANTEED, IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. 9/21/09 AFTER A STOP LIGHT, STARTING TO ACCELERATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AN HOUR MAKING A LEFT TURN THE LIGHTS RETURNED AND STAYED ON UNTIL I REACHED HOME. I CALLED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ON 9/22/09 WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. IT IS BEING KEPT OVERNIGHT SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE A FULL DAY TO WORK ON IT. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
2008 HONDA CR-V CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES TWICE EACH TIME AROUND 20K MILES - THE TIRES WERE WORN UNEVENLY EVEN THOUGH I HAD THEM ROTATED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. BROUGHT INTO MILE HIGH HONDA IN DENVER TO CHECK ALIGNMENT, EACH TIME THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG AND IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY 20K MILES. I ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT WHEN DRIVING. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE WHEN THE CAR HAD 9K MILES ON IT.. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND 1/2 AND ISSUE REMAINS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT FOR SOME REASON THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX. THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT. PERIOD. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE BEFORE THEY WILL ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON I-95 SOUTH @ 65 MPH. TRAVELING FROM BALTIMORE MD TO KITTY HAWK NC ON VACATION. SHE NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE CAR. SHE PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS NEARLY FLAT AND THE SIDEWALLS WERE COMING APART. SHE HAD THE SPARE TIRE INSTALLED AND CONTINUED TO HER DESTINATION. SHE TOOK THE TIRE TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THE SIDEWALL FAILED. THEY SHOWED HER WHERE THE OTHER FRONT TIRE WAS STARTING TO FALL APART. THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE ALSO FAILING. SHE HAD TO PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES. ALL 4 TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2005. THE TIRES ARE BF GOODRICH LONG TRAIL. ALL TIRES WERE ROUTINELY ROTATED AND BALANCED. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE ON 09/10/09. SHE IS ON VACATION. I WILL TRY TO HAVE HER BRING ONE TIRE HOME AS EVIDENCE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO BRING 4 TIRES HOME. THE TIRES HAVE BETWEEN 7/32" AND 8/32" OF TREAD REMAINING. *TR

TIRES
WHERE TO START. I BOUGHT MY NEW 2008 HONDA CRV IN JANUARY OF 2008. IN FEBRUARY I HAS A LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT AND BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE FOR A TIRE CHECK. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES, BUT THEY PUT AIR IN THEM. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITHOUT FAIL ABOUT 6 TIMES IN ADDITION TO MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS. I HAVE HAD MY SERVICES AT EACH SERVICE INDICATOR AND PERFORMED ALL OF THE INDICATED CODES. TIRE ROTATIONS AT EACH SERVICE BY A HONDA DEALER. AT MY SECOND SERVICE ON 1/30/09, 16,000MILES MY TIRES WERE MARKED AS 6/32 WEAR TREAD REMAINING. AT MY THIRD AND MOST RECENT SERVICE 9/5/09 THE TIRES WERE MARKED AS 4/32 REMAINING, AND I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES AT LESS, THIS IS WITH 26,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED BRIDGSTONE/FIRESTONE REGARDING THE SHORT LIFE OF THE TIRES AND THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT IT IS HONDA THAT IS BUYING POORLY MADE "CHEAP" TIRES AND PUTTING THEM ON THEIR NEW VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANTY THEM FOR MILEAGE. THEN HONDA MAKES OUT LIKE BANDITS FOR SELLING YOU NEW TIRES IN 18,000 TO 32,000 MILES WITH AN ADDED COST FOR MOUNTING AND 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT JUST ABOUT $800.00. THE HONDA SERVICE TECH SEEMED TO GET SOME HUMOR IN TELLING ME THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES AT 26,000 MILES AND WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AS FAR AS PROVIDING ME A PRICE FOR THE SAME EXACT PIECES OF CRAP THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE, PLUS MOUNTING AND BALANCING FEE, PLUS A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT FEE. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT FROM HONDA. I TOO WAS LOOKING FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS GOOD IN THE SNOW WE SEE IN NEW ENGLAND WINTERS AND HAD GOOD GAS MILEAGE. WHAT A SCAM HONDA HAS GOING! *TR
