AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THE 2003 HONDA CRV FROM ANTHONY AUTO SALES IN THOMSON, GA ON 2/21/2020. AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER/CHARGING PORT DIDN'T WORK. DID A FUSE TEST ON IT ONLY TO DISCOVER HALF OF THE FUSES WEREN'T WORKING IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SURGERY THE FOLLOWING WEEK. ON FEBRUARY 25 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN BUT PICKED ITS SPEED BACK UP AND FOR SOME REASON IT SEEMS TO GET POOR GAS MILEAGE. I LIKE MY VEHICLE I JUST WANT TO KNOW OF ANY FUTURE AND PAST RECALLS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM RECTIFIED SINCE I NOW OWN THE VEHICLE. PAST REPORTS HAVE ALSO SHOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS AS WELL. THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AS WELL.

I HAVE RESPONDED TO HONDA'S REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION RE: I NO LONGER OWN MY VEHICLE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES! I PROVIDED TRADE IN INFO IN 2008 WHEN I PURCHASED A NEW CAR. WHY HAVEN'T THEY RECORDED THE INFORMATION I PROVIDED? I FEEL HONDA IS NOT ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC WHEN I SEE THEY DON'T RECORD INFORMATION SUCH AS I'VE PROVIDED NUMEROUS TIMES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK AND CAUSES THE LOCKS NOT TO WORK. I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITH A KEY OR AUTOMATIC KEY. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY WAY OF A TEMPORARY REPAIRS BY MY MECHANIC IN 2013. I WAS AT LEAST ABLE TO GET INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WITH MY AUTOMATIC KEY BUT COULD NOT OPEN IT WITH THE KEY. NOW THE DRIVER;S SIDE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I CAN ONLY CLIMB IN THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE USING THE KEY ONLY. BACK IN 2013 BEFORE THE TEMP REPAIRS WERE MADE I CONTACTED HONDA TO SEE IF THEY HAD A RECALL AND BASED ON MY VIN # THERE WAS NO RECALL THE THE LOCKS.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN MAY OF 2014. I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR/FRONT FENDER ON A CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES/HOUR IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION. THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED A DEEP GASH ON MY RIGHT FOREARM AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE CHEMICAL BURNS ON THE SKIN SURROUNDING THE GASH, BOTH PALMS AND BOTH THUMBS THAT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS TO HEAL. THE "BURNS" WORSENED OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL HOURS FOLLOWING THE CRASH. I ASSUMED THEY WERE CHEMICAL BURNS AFTER DOING A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH. I DID NOT GO TO A DOCTOR BUT INSTEAD TREATED THE AREA WITH AN ANTIBIOTIC CREAM AND LATER, ALOE VERA. I HEALED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, BUT I STILL HAVE A SCAR ON MY RIGHT FOREARM FROM THE GASH (RECENT, 2/16/17 PHOTO ATTACHED). THE INJURY WAS CAUSED BY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH BOTH MY HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT A "10 AND 2" POSITION.
