TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING LIGHT (SYSTEM FAULT) KEEPS COMING ON. FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT ABOUT 300 MILES AND WENT AWAY AFTER VEHICLE REACHED A STOP. 2ND WAS AT 350 MILES AND AGAIN WENT OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. 3RD WAS AT 750 MILES AND STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 3 MILES (VEHICLE DID NOT STOP). 4TH WAS AT790 MILES AND AGAIN WENT OFF AFTER 3 MILES. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED BY OWNER AND FOUND TO BE OKAY AT THE 1ST AND 3RD TIMES. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED TWICE BY DEALER (AFTER THE 2ND AND 4TH INCIDENTS). THE FIRST VISIT THE DEALER RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE. THE 2ND VISIT 2 TIRES WERE CHANGED OUT TO GET NEW SENSORS. THE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES AND NOW DOES NOT RESET UPON VEHICLE STOPPAGE OR AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
VEHICLE : 2002 HONDA CRV IN NOVEMBER 2006 I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT STAYED ON. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THAT INDICATOR LIGHT STAYING ON. THE DEALER REPLACED A SENSOR ($336.00). JUST AFTER TAKING THE CAR HOME, IT BEGAN TO STALL OUT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE SAME MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I THOUGHT MAYBE I GOT SOME BAD GAS, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME I NEED AN OXYGEN-2 SENSOR REPLACED. (ANOTHER $300.00 +) REPAIR. *JB

STEERING:COLUMN
STEERING WHEEL LOCKING MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE AND DROPS UNEXPECTEDTLY IN MY 03" HONDA CRV. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO HONDA CORP AND I AM AWAITING TO SEE IF IT WILL BE COVERED BY THEM. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER BACK I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS SAFETY CONCERN IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY HONDA CORP PROMPTLY AND I AM NOT ALLOWING MY WIFE AND SMALL CHILD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR WILL COST A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX, MY EXPENSE I WAS TOLD. WHEN THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TILT WHEEL LOCKING SYSTEM FAILS - THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN - ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS IN A SUV.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO MY HONDA CR-V 2004 STALLED IN A CAR WASH AND WOULDN'T START. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. SINCE THEN MY CR-V HAS HAD TROUBLE STARTING. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MY HEATER NOT WORKING AS EFFECTIVELY AND JUST RECENTLY THE CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY. AFTER A DAY THEY SAID I HAD GOTTEN WATER IN MY GAS TANK AND A WATER BUBBLE IN MY COOLANT SYSTEM. THEY FLUSHED EVERYTHING OUT, DRIED IT AND REPLACED MY COOLANT. SO FAR MY CAR SEEMS TO BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AGAIN. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FRONT ACC ADAPTOR IN MY 2006 CR-V CONSTANTLY BLEW FUSES. I REQUESTED SERVICE ON MY CAR THREE TIMES, AND ALL THREE TIMES THE FUSES WERE ONLY REPLACED. NO ONE SEEMED TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE SURGE. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR BACK AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2006 AND TOLD THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM, NOT JUST REPLACE THE FUSE. THE HOUSING OF THE ACC ADAPTOR HAD FAULTY CONNECTIONS THAT CAUSED BOTH CONTACTS TO TOUCH AND THUS BLOW THE FUSES. THE MANAGER OF THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT GAVE ME A PRINTOUT EXPLAINING THAT THE COMPANY HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT SINCE MARCH OF 2006 BUT DID NOT WISH TO DO A RECALL DUE TO THE LIMITED AFFECT THE SURGES HAD ON THE OPERATION OF THE CAR OVERALL. I PERSONALLY TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY WITH MY JOB AND USE MY ACC ADAPTOR DAILY. THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT CAUSED ME TO BE UNABLE TO CHARGE MY PHONE WHILE AWAY FROM MY HOME ON BUSINESS. THE PHONE DIED AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT A WAY TO CONTACT ANYONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR HONDA TO PUBLISH THIS DEFECT IN THE ACC ADAPTOR HOUSING TO ALL OWNERS OF 2006 CR-VS. *NM

SUSPENSION
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR THE REGULAR SERVICE BRAKES, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS LIFTED UP AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE SUSPENSION DROPPED DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY THE MECHANIC BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE DEFECT, AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOTIFIED, AN ESTIMATE FROM A BODY SHOP WAS REQUESTED. THE BODY SHOP REFUSED TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE BECAUSE THIS WAS A STRUCTURAL MATTER WHICH WAS NOT PERFORMED AT A BODY SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS OR OFF THE ROAD. THE INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS GOING TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER DISCOURAGED THE CONTACT BECAUSE THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE GONE TO WARM UP THE CAR AND THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE ENGAGED AFTER I HAVE EXITED THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS, A CHILD HAS BEEN IN THE VEHICLE, LOCKING THE CHILD IN THE CAR WITH THE CAR RUNNING. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN DRIVE, OR HAVE BEEN MOVING FOR THE LOCKS TO ENGAGE. THE DOORS LOCK WITHIN SECONDS OF THE CAR DOOR BEING SHUT AND ONCE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION, THE REMOTE SENSOR CAN NOT BE USED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE AFTER BEEN PARKED FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME, A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL WAS NOTICED. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION, A HOLE WAS NOTICED NEAR THE BACK SEAT, WHICH WAS LOCATED ABOVE THE GAS TANK AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TESTED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THE FAILURE CODE READING "AUXILIARY EMISSION CONTROL EVAPORATION, GAS LEAK". THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT THE PHYSICAL LEAK TO BE SHOWN WHICH NEVER HAPPENED. THE CONTACT SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THE POSSIBILITY OF THE LEAK COMING FROM THE OUTLET HOSE FROM THE TANK TO THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH COULD EASILY BE REMOVED WITH THE FINGER TIPS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, WHO DETERMINED IT WAS AN ISOLATE FAILURE, AND WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN BECAUSE THE FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
I WAS HIT HEAD-ON BY A MID-SIZED SEDAN WHICH DRILLED MY LICENSE PLATE BACK TO THE FIREWALL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, DESPITE THE SPEED (ME 45, HER 20) AND THE DRIVER'S SHOULDER HARNESS FAILED TO RESTRAIN ME. I CRUSHED THE STEERING COLUMN WITH MY CHEST AND HAD TO BE REMOVED WITH THE JAWS OF LIFE. HONDA SENT A TECHNICIAN WHO DECLARED A FAULTY SEATBELT AND FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $15,000 DAMAGE, WAS FULLY REPAIRED, ALTHOUGH MY INSURANCE PAID FOR IT, NOT HONDA. I SUSTAINED MULTIPLE SOFT-TISSUE INJURIES, BROKEN RIBS AND A DISLOCATED SHOULDER. I CONTINUE WITH THERAPY ALMOST THREE YEARS LATER. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2000 HONDA CRV - VALVE SEAT PROBLEM INVOLVING NECESSARY HEAD REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AFFECTING A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF MODELS PRODUCED. THE METAL USED TO MANUFACTURE THE HEAD IS APPARENTLY TOO SOFT OF A COMPOUND TO WITHSTAND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURES. I CAN NOT FIND A RECALL AND HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA OR ADVISED OF SUCH BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOUR MONTHS AGO AND I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEM NOR WERE ANY CORRECTIVE MEASURES IMPLEMENTED. *NM

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2006 CRV EX IN OCTOBER 2006, NOTICEDA NOISE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT IT AND WOULD FIX IT. AFTER 3 ADDITIONAL VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPT. WHERE THEY SWITCHED WHEELS, DID AN ALIGNMENT AND STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING WHEEL (WHEEL WAS NEVER CROOKED) THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT NOISE AND AWKWARD DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THE VEHICLE ALSO PULLS DRASTICALLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATED AND IS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THIS IS HOW THEY THINK THEY WILL RETAIN THEIR REPUTATION, THEY ARE MISTAKEN. I KNOW I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER, AND AM STILL TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *JB

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE, MY MOON ROOF BEGAN TO RATTLE WHEN DRIVING, BOTH OPENED AND CLOSED. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A BOLT. APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS LATER, IT HAD WORKED ITSELF OUT AGAIN BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO ADDRESS IT ON THAT VISIT. I TOOK IT BACK 2 WEEKS LATER AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE MOON ROOF MECHANISM. THREE MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED WITH THE SAME RATTLE AND THEY TIGHTENED THE BOLT AND SAID NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. I LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH THE HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP, LIE TO THEM AND TELL THEM THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT WAS GOING TO BE ADDRESSED AND SEE WHAT THEY THOUGHT. I DID NOT LIE TO THEM, BUT THEY HEARD THE RATTLE. THEY SAID IT SEEMED TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS HONDA MODEL AND THAT I COULD APPLY OIL TO HELP WITH THE RATTLE, OTHERWISE I WOULD JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT FOR THE DURATION OF THE CAR. THE OIL HAS NOT HELPED. *NM
