POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
THE "PROTECTION PROPELLER SHAFT" IS INSTALLED ON THE HONDA 2004 AND 2005 CR-V INCORRECTLY. IT SERVES NO PURPOSE WITH THE WAY IT IS INSTALLED AND COULD POTENTIALLY ALLOW THE SHAFT TO FALL TO THE GROUND DURING FAILURE. *MR THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROTECTOR CANNOT PREVENT THE DRIVE SHAFT FROM FALLING TO THE GROUND IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE UNIVERSAL CONNECTED JOINTS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PART SHOULD BE EITHER INSTALLED CORRECTLY OR ELIMINATED. *JB

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CRV VEHICLE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE. I HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO STOP OR TAKE OFF THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT OFTEN TIMES MAKING THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLE. I FEEL IT IS A POTENTIAL DANGER AND SHOULD BE THOUROUGHLY REVIEWED BY INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE THE HONDA CORPORATION. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES ALIGNED ONCE THINKING THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE PULL AND IT DID NOT STOP THE PROBLEM.

2003 HONDA CRV SHIFT CABLE MALFUNCTIONED RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR LESS THAN 2 MONTH AFTER THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE CONSUMER BECAME CAUGHT ON THE VEHICLE'S DOOR AND WAS DRAGGED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS HER NEIGHBOR'S FRONT YARD UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT THE NEIGHBORS PORCH STEPS. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED A CONTUSION TO HER LEFT LEG FROM HER HIP TO HER KNEE. A MONTH AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE A/T SHIFT CABLE. THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL WERE EXACTLY WHAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED.

TIRES:SIDEWALL
DAUGHTER DRIVING 2005 HONDA CR-V WITH ABOUT 1050 MILES AT ABOUT 70 MPH ON EXPRESSWAY. RIGHT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY LOST PRESSURE CAUSING ABRUPT VEHICLE DECELERATION. TIRE IS A BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T 684, OEM. ALTHOUGH SHE GOT OFF ROAD IMMEDIATELY, THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED AROUND THE PERIMETER, WITH SOME AREAS LOOKING ALMOST LIKE A CLEAN KNIFE CUT. TIRE PRESSURE HAD BEEN CHECKED THAT MORNING. THE RIM WAS UNDAMAGED, AND THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE HAD NO DAMAGE. NO NAILS WERE FOUND IN THE TIRE, AND BOTH BEADS WERE STILL SEATED ON THE RIM. LUCKY IT WAS THE REAR TIRE.

SEAT BELT AROUND CHILD USING A CHILD SAFETY SEAT MALFUNCTIONED AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. SEAT BELT CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN TO THE POINT OF SUFFOCATION FOR CHILD. IT WOULD NOT RETRACT. ALL EFFORTS TO RELEASE SEAT BELT CAUSED IT TO FURTHER TIGHTEN. DUE TO FEAR THAT CHILD WOULD BE ASPHYXIATED, SEAT BELT WAS CUT. IN EFFORT TO GET IT REPAIRED, I HAVE FOUND THAT SEAT BELTS ARE NOT KEPT IN STOCK AND WILL HAVE TO BE ORDERED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
OUR HONDA DEALER SERVICED OUR 2003 HONDA CR-V THE LAST WEEK OF JUNE IN PREPARATION FOR A ROUND-TRIP FROM MIAMI TO SOUTH CAROLINA. AFTER SPENDING A FEW DAYS IN SC, WE LEFT THE CAR SITTING FOR 4 DAYS AT AN AIRPORT, THEN DROVE IT AROUND IN SC FOR TWO DAYS PRIOR TO STARTING RETURN TRIP TO MIAMI. ABOUT 3 HOURS INTO RETURN TRIP, THE AIR CONDITIONING BEGAN BLOWING WARM AIR. I READ THE ENTIRE OWNERS MANUAL AND TRIED ALL OF ITS SUGGESTIONS. THE GREEN ON/OFF LIGHT REMAINED ON REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES I PUSHED IT, AND THE AIR REMAINED FAN RATHER THAN AIR CONDITIONING. ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATER, WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THOUGHT THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD HIT ROAD DEBRIS THAT BOUNCED AGAINST OUR CAR. IN THE SIDE MIRROR, I SAW A BLACK PLASTIC PIECE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MEDIUM SIZED PANCAKE. WE DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER HALF HOUR BEFORE THE HEAT BECAME UNBEARABLE, SO I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER THAT HAD SERVICED THE CAR AND ASKED FOR ADVICE. HE SUGGESTED THAT WE PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. THE AIR CONDITIONING STILL WAS ON FAN, BUT THE CAR HEATED UP. HE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING FAN MOTOR OR THAT WE HAD BLOWN THE COMPRESSOR'S DRIVE BELT / CLUTCH. APPARENTLY, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 33,400 MILES ON IT AND WAS STILL UNDER THE 36,000 WARRANTY. DURING SERVICE PRIOR TO THE THE TRIP, WE REQUESTED THAT A NEW AIR CONDITIONING FILTER BE INSTALLED BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION DIRT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
THE REAR INTERIOR WELL COVER IS A PULL OUT 17LB PLASTIC TABLE. IT HAS A 'D' RING LATCH THAT IS HELD TO THE TABLE WITH 6 SCREWS. WHEN YOU PULL UP ON THE 'D' RING LATCH YOU GET A HANDLE TO PULL THE TABLE UP AND OUT. WHEN PULLING UP ON THE 'D' RING IT PULLS A PLUNGER OUT OF A SLOT IS THE BACK OF THE BULKHEAD OF THE FRAME GIVING YOU THE APPEARANCE THAT THE TABLE IS LOCKED DOWN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE NOTHING ELSE HOLDING THE TABLE DOWN ON THE OTHER THREE SIDES. IT APPEARS THAT THE SIDE OPPOSITE THE LATCH SHOULD HAVE A SLOT OR MAYBE TWO STRAPS ACROSS THE REAR CORNERS FOR THE TABLE TO SLIDE INTO. APPEARS HONDA OVERLOOKED THIS SINCE THEY MADE THE LIFTING 'D' RING ALSO A LATCH. AS DESIGNED HOWEVER THE COVER IS NOT LATCHED DOWN. JUST HOPE NO ONE TURNS THE CR-V OVER AND AFTER THE AIR BAG SAVES THEM HAVE A 17 LB TABLE CUT THEIR HEAD OFF.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS HIT BY A VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2003 (WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT) THAT WAS HIT BY A CAR THAT RAN A RED LIGHT WHICH CAUSED $10,000.00 DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. IN THE ACCIDENT MY RIGHT ARM WAS INJURED AND EVENTUALLY WAS OPERATED ON. THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS HIT SQUARELY IN THE FRONT AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND I THINK THE AIRBAG UNIT IS DEFECTIVE.

TIRES
DUELER H/T 684 BRIDGESTONE TIRE ON RIGHT REAR OF MY HONDA CRV 03, TREAD SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING OFF EXIT RAMP ON FREEWAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING. TIRE PRESSURE HAD BEEN CHECKED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE. THERE WAS PLENTY OF TREAD LEFT ON TIRE. THE TIRE JUST FELL APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HONDA DEALER REFERRED ME TO FIRESTONE DEALER WHO REFERRED ME TO A CORPORATE FIRESTONE DEALER WHO GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER TO CALL. I EXPECT IF I CALL THEY WILL PRORATE THE TIRE AND SELL ME ANOTHER TO PUT ON THE CAR. MY FEELING IS THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE AND I NEED TO REPLACE THEM BEFORE ANOTHER FALLS APART AND NOT WITH BRIDGESTONE OR FIRESTONE TIRES.
