VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT ALL THE TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT DIDN'T HELP. I HAVE SINCE DRIVEN TWO OTHER 2005 HONDA CR-V'S THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS SOON AS YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL THE VEHICLES WILL IMMEDIATELY PULL TO THE RIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLIANT ON MANY OF THE FORUMS BOARDS IE: EDUMONDS.COM *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
PURCHASED 2004 HONDA CRV EX 8/04. UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS SPURTS OUT WHILE PULLING OUT THE NOZZLE FROM THE TANK. I'VE HAD GAS LAND ON MY LEGS AND QUITE A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. TALKED WITH SERVICES ADVISORS AT HONDA TWICE ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING -- TRY HOLDING THE NOZZLE IN FOR 3 SECONDS AFTER FILLING -- SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM -- IT DIDN'T! THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. THE ONLY TIME IT DOESN'T IS WHEN YOU DON'T PUT THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY INTO THE FILLING NECK. SEEMS A VACUUM IS MADE WHEN YOU DO AND UPON RETRACTING THE NOZZLE IT RELEASES AND GAS SPURTS OUT. I REPORTED THIS AGAIN TO A SERVICE ADVISOR AT HONDA 8/05 AND I'VE BEEN REQUESTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN ON 8/19/05 TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I NOTICED ONE OTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THEIR CONCERN? *JB

STEERING, SUSPENSION
SINCE MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2005 CRV EX 3 WEEKS AGO IT HAS SPENT MORE TIME AT THE DEALERS THEN WITH US. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND A PULL TO THE RIGHT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALER STATED THE WHEELS WERE OUT OF BALANCE. PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME. THE VEHICLE WENT IN A SECOND TIME AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEIR BALANCING MACHINE WAS INCORRECTLY CALIBRATED; THEN CHANGED ONE TIRE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAR MEETS HONDA "SPECS". PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN A THIRD TIME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER, AMERICA HONDA, PLACED THE STRUTS ON INCORRECTLY AND FIXED IT. PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND IT NO LONGER PULLED TO THE RIGHT , HOWEVER THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WAS STILL THERE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN A FOURTH TIME , WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH A TECHNICIAN AND HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A VIBRATION AT 45 , 50 AND BETWEEN 60-70 MPH. THE DEALER THEN TEST DROVE 3 OTHER CR-V'S FROM THE LOT THEN STATED THAT THEY WERE AS BAD OR WORST THEN MINE. THE HEAD SUPERVISOR CONTACTED AMERICA HONDA AND GAVE THEM THE DETAILS. THEIR REPLY " SINCE ALL THE VEHICLES DO THAT IT MUST BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE." THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT SINCE AMERICA HONDA DID NOT RECONIZE IT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A CLAIM UNDER THE FLORIDA LEMON LAW. AMERICA HONDA NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THEY ARE PRODUCING. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DT: CONSUMER OWNS A 1998 HONDA CRV. SHE SAID THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. WHEN IT SHUT DOWN VEHICLE WAS IN TRAFFIC A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES, AND THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON AUGUST 15, 2005 WHILE SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC ON HILTON AVENUE IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND. SHE WAS ALMOST STRUCK IN THE REAR, SHE DID NOT PANIC, PUT ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS, NOTIFYING THE TRAFFIC SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT HIT, BUT IT DID SCARE HER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, AND IT APPEARED TO SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. THE FLASHERS WERE THE ONLY THING SHE WORKING. SHE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PUT FOOT ON THE BRAKES THEN HAD TO TRY TWICE BEFORE VEHICLE WOULD START. WHEN VEHICLE WAS ON LEVEL GROUND OR FACING UP HILL IT USUALLY WOULD NOT START AS QUICKLY. HAD TO PAT THE GAS A FEW TIMES AND TRIED TO START VEHICLE A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. WHEN VEHICLE WAS ON A HILL IT SEEMED TO START BACK MUCH EASIER, IF VEHICLE WAS FACING DOWN HILL SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO PUMP GAS OR TRY AS MANY TIMES TO START VEHICLE. SHE WAS AWARE OF A RECALL 02V120000 ON SAME MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR CONCERNING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION SWITCH. SHE HAS NOT YET CHECKED WITH HONDA TO SEE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. SHE BECAME AWARE OF THIS RECALL WHEN SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO A GARAGE AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK . THE CHECK WOULD NOT REGISTER ANY CODES, THE VEHICLE DID SHUT DOWN ON THE MECHANIC, BUT NO CODES CAME UP. *AK

NARROWED NOISE TO AREA AROUND AC COMPRESSOR/ALTERNATOR/BELT TENSIONER. OPERATED VEHICLE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES FROM FIRST APPEARANCE OF NOISE, THEN THERE WAS A THUD,AND A CLUNK LOOKED OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW A SOMETHING ROLLING DOWN THE STREET. NOISE WENT AWAY, AND AC STOPPED COOLING. WENT BACK TO SEE WHAT HAD FALLEN OFF, AND FOUND PART OF THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. NO APPARENT DAMAGE, VEHICLE OPERATES MINUS AC. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS A FOUR OR FIVE TIMES RECENTLY, AND THAT HE WOULD CONTACT HONDA, TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. WAS LATER TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS.*JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HAVE A HONDA 2002 CRV. ON YOUR WEB SITE IT STATES THAT THE FRONT AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND AFTER TAKING MY CRV TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT YOUR WEB SITE IS WRONG AND ONLY PART OF 2002 CRVS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND THEY WANT A FORTUNE TO LOOK AND FIX IT. RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO FRONT AIRBAGS ON MY CRV AND YOUR SITE STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE AIR CONDITIONER IN MY 2002 HONDA CRV FAILED COMPLETELY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE COMPRESSORS. THE FACTORY HAS AN UPDATED UNIT. HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE AIR CONDITIONERS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT. THIS REPAIR CAN RUN UP TO $3000.00 RETAIL. THIS IS NOT A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE UNLESS THE COMPRESSOR FAILURE CAUSES THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO GO. *NM

STEERING
NEW HONDA 2005 CRV LX AWD. VEHICLE DRIFTED TO RIGHT OF ROAD AND PULLS TO THE RIGHT WITH ACCELERATION, MORE ACCELERATION = HARDER PULL. IT IS BAD. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED 2 TSBS TO CORRECT (TIRE CHANGE OUT AND UPPER SPRING SEAL ANGLE) BUT NEITHER FIXED PROBLEM (THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM STILL AND ARE WAITING FOR HONDA ENGINEERING TO CALL THEM. THEY ALSO CHECKED 2 OTHER CRVS ON THEIR LOT AND BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM) THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE -- IMAGINE CRUISE ON, UP A HILL AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFS FROM 5TH TO 3RD TO REGAIN SPEED, PULLING, CAUSING THE UN-ALERT DRIVER TO CHANGE LANES/OFF-ROAD, OR TO OVER COMPENSATE ONE-HANDED.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CR-V ON JULY 11, 2005. AFTER BRIEFLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A SEVERE PULL TO THE RIGHT (LATER FOUND OUT THIS IS CALLED TS (TORQUE STEER) DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP UP TO SIXTY-FIVE MILES PER HOUR. IN LESS THAN THREE SECONDS THE CAR WAS TWO LANES TO THE RIGHT (SAFETY HAZARD). I DROVE THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE GRADE TO THE LEFT AND THE VEHICLE STILL PULLED UPHILL TO THE RIGHT (SO MUCH FOR ROAD CROWN PULL). ON 7/26 SPREEN HONDA OF LOMA LINDA, CA, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, HAD IT ALIGNED BY THE SATURN DEALERSHIP (OWNED BY SPREEN OWNER) WITH NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE. ON 7/28-7/29 SPREEN HAD PREUTT''S WHEEL ALIGNMENT OF REDLANDS DO A SECOND ALIGNMENT WITH NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. SPREEN SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT IT, TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THAT THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT WAS INHERENT IN ALL FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES (WAS NOT A PROBLEM IN MY 1999 CR-V), THAT THEY HAD NO FURTHER COMMITMENT AND I SHOULD TALK TO AMERICAN HONDA. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD ENFORCE THE REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT AND HONDA SHOULD MITIGATE THIS DEFECT OR RECALL ALL OF ITS AFFECTED VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. *JB
