SUSPENSION:FRONT
PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA CRV IN EARLY 2005. WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR NEW VEHICLE, WE NOTICED IT PULLING TO THE RIGHT ON OUR RIDE HOME. THINKING THE FRONT END NEEDED ALIGNMENT, WE WEREN'T ALARMED AT THE TIME. WE RECENTLY RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTION OF THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT (PTTR) PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING THE FRONT END REALIGNED WE DROVE OFF THE LOT AND NOTICED IT WAS STILL PTTR. RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THEIR NEXT STEP WAS TO CHANGE THE RIGHT FRONT HUB AND SWITCH THE FRONT WHEELS. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE RESULT WAS THE VEHICLE NOW PULLED TO THE LEFT. BASED ON THIS FINDING THEY DECIDED THE ORIGINAL FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE REPLACEMENT TIRES ARE ON BACKORDER, THEY PUT OUR SPARE TIRE ON THE FRONT LEFT AND PUT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE ON THE BACK AS THE SPARE. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN OK WITH US, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL PTTR. NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE NEXT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE OTHER 4 HONDAS WE HAVE OWNED. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I'M A 2004 HONDA CRV EX OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 10/18/2004. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL FROM THE EXHAUST AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I RECEIVEDA PAMPHLET WHEN AT PURCHASE STATING A SMELL WILL BE EVIDENT FOR THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED MILES. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE FIRST THOUSAND MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE APR. 8009 MILES. I STILL SMELL IT OCCASIONALLY. NOT KNOWING ABOUT ALL THE PREVIOUS DAMAGE FROM OTHER OWNERS, FROM THE DOUBLING THE GASKET. I THINK IT MIGHT BE THAT. MAYBE OIL LEAKAGE OR SOMETHING. HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT IN FOR A CHECK ON THAT HOWEVER. BUT I WILL ASAP. I HAVE ALREADY GOT MY FIRST OIL CHANGE(04APR05) AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED VEHILE, AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS FROM ANYTHING CATCHING FIRE. ALSO DIDN'T BRING UP THE SMELL, BUT I SHOULD HAVE. STILL DO SMELL A BURNING SCENT FROM THE EXHAUST AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. ALSO, MY 5TH DOOR(TRUNK) I NOTICED A THUPING SOUND WHEN OPENED ALL THE WAY AND BROUGHT IT UP DURING OIL CHANGE AND DEALERSHIP FIXED PROBLEM WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THEY OVER CHARGE ME THOUGH($103.92). DON'T GO TO "POWAY HONDA " IN CALIFORNIA. ACTUALLY WRITING TO CONSUMER REPORTS AS WELL. ALSO HAVE TO SAY THIS IS A GREAT WEBSITE AND WILL RECCOMMEND TO OTHERS. THANK YOU. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT, SUSPENSION
THIS NEW 05' HONDA CR-V EX HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH NO RESOLVE FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS A CONTINUED PROBLEM OF PULLING TO THE RIGHT AS WELL AS VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE CV BOOT HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE AS WELL AS THE TRANSAXLE. THE VEHICLE CAME NEW WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER HAS TRIED DILIGENTLY TO FIX THE PTTR PROBLEM WITH NEW TIRES, AXLE, ROTATION, ALIGNMENT, WHEELS FROM OTHER 05' CR-V'S. BUT, THEY HAVE SAID THE VIBRATION IS WITHIN MANUFACTURE'S SPECS!!!! I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME WITH MY CAR AT THE DEALER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN DECECMBER OF 2004 AND IT IS NOW APRIL 2005! THE VIBRATION COMES ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE CAB, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 50-70 MPH. I'M VERY UPSET THAT I PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A CAR THAT BRINGS ME GRIEF EACH AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR ON THE HI-WAY. AROUND TOWN IT'S FINE. THIS CAR IS NOT RIGHT, AND HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS IB THE WORST HONDA PURCHASE I HAVE HAD AFTER OWNING 5 OTHER HONDA'S!*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 5 FRONT WINDSHIELD CHIPS IN MY 05 HONDA CRV. I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 1/2 MONTHS. 2 OF THE 5 HAVE REQUIRED REPAIRS. I AM CERTAIN I WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE NEW WINDSHIELD IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE SOUND OF IMPACT DOES NOT INDICATE THAT ANY DAMAGE SHOULD BE CAUSED, HOWEVER THE HONDA WINDSHIELD IS LIKE PAPER. I FEEL IT IS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO REPLACE MY CURRENT WINDSHIELD FOR FEAR OF FURTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE AND OR INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. *AK

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2005 CVR 10 DAYS AGO. AS OF DAY ONE THE CRV PULLS SERVERLY TO THE RIGHT. WE HAVE HAD NO HELP FROM THE DEALER. WON'T ANSWER OUR CALLS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. OUR TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THEY ARE FINE. WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP YOU NEED TO PULL THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO NOT GO INTO THE OTHER LANE. WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD YOU NEED TO KEEP THE TURNED LEFT SO IT DOESN'T FO INTO THE OTHER LANE. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE STREET OR TIRE AIR PRESSURE WHEN WE PULLED OUT OF THE DEARLERS AFTER THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED. THEY MADE IT SEEM IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I BOUGHT A 2005 HONDA CRV 2-LX AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. FROM DAY ONE, IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR REALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL. THE ALIGNMENT READ-OUTS ARE FINE. ON A FLAT SURFACE GOING 35-40 MPH, NOT HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE CHANGES LANES WITHIN 4 SECONDS. HONDA SAYS 6 SECONDS IS ALLOWABLE. THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I FEEL I'M DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
IN JANUARY OF 2005 I ECNOUNTERED THAT MY GAS GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT GO TO FULL WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK IF THE GAS TANK WAS 1/4 FULL OR LESS. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I JUST GOT THE CAR BACK YESTERDAY, 3/23/2005, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND AGAIN NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THE GAUGE WILL FAIL IN THE FUTURE WITH MY DAUGHTER USING THIS VEHICLE FOR COLLEGE. I DO NOT WANT HER TO RUN OUT OF GAS OR HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY IF SHE RUNS OUT OF GAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE GAS GAUGE READING PROBLEM.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CR-V. WITHIN THE SPAN OF A FEW MONTHS, THE DOOR LOCKS ON ALL FOUR DOORS MALFUNCTIONED AND BROKE. THE LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR BROKE IN A POSITION THAT PREVENTS THE PASSENGER FROM BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. OUR DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $300 PER LOCK FOR REPAIR. WE HAVE NOT YET HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE LOCK FIXED DUE TO THE COST, SO THE LOCK IS STILL BROKEN. WE HAVE ALSO NOT YET HAD THE LOCK ON EITHER REAR DOOR REPLACED, ALSO DUE TO THE COST.*AK
