TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
IN AUGUST, 2010, WE PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES. ON DECEMBER 7, 2012 , MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT TO OUR REAR TIRE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE-95 IN FLORIDA AT A HIGH SPEED ((70MPH) CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF OUR 2007 HONDA CRV. WE SWERVING ACROSS SIX LANES OF TRAFFIC, ALMOST FLIPPED, AND NARROWLY AVOIDED CRASHING INTO CONCRETE A WALL BEFORE I FINALLY OBTAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO PULLEY OFF ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. OUR VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY GOODYEAR IN OCTOBER, AND THE TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND ROTATED AT THAT TIME. AT THE TIME OF THE BLOWOUT, THE TIRES ONLY HAD 27,000 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE WARRANTIED FOR 65,000 MILES. WE CONTACTED THE GOODYEAR STORE THE NEXT DAY, AND THE MANAGER INSPECTED THE TIRE AND COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY THE TIRE BLEW OUT. HE ASKED IF WE HIT SOMETHING. WE DIDN'T HIT A THING. WE JUST HEARD A POP. THE ASSISTANT MANAGER OF THE STORE STATED, "THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY," REGARDING OUR STATEMENT THAT WE HIT NOTHING. THE TIRE WAS NOT TORN, BUT WAS SPLIT FROM RIM TO RIM, COMPLETELY SEVERING THE BELTS. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT AND OTHER DRIVERS COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED AS WELL. WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN. GOODYEAR CLAIMS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, BUT WE HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT BLOWOUTS ON GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRES. GOODYEAR OFFERED US A SMALL PRICE ADJUSTMENT TO REPLACE OUR TIRES, BUT WE ARE AFRAID TO PURCHASE GOODYEAR TIRES. GOODYEAR MUST RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH OF THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SOME TIMES WHEN YOU TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, IN OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE CAR THE DOORS STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS CAUSING THE ALARM TO ARM ITSELF AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS WITH THE CONTROL REMOTE. SOME TIMES THE ALARM GETS ARMED WHILE WE ARE IN THE CAR AND IT WON?T START DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ACTUATORS. IN VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE DOORS REMAINED LOCKED WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAR. THE UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, EVEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE LOCK MANUALLY WONT WORK. THE ACTUATORS STAY LOCKED!!! I?M PRETTY SURE THE BACK DOORS WILL START FAILING TOO ANY TIME SOON. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO THIS PROBLEM RIGHT A WAY, OR MAYBE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR POOR PARTS QUALITY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
FRONT DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER APPROX. 9 MONTHS ALL DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. ALL DOORS WOULD LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, LOCKING ALL OCCUPANTS INSIDE. WOULD LOCK WHEN CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS MANUALLY WITH KEY FROM OUTSIDE. CAR WAS STOLEN THEN RECOVERED. WHATEVER WAS USED TO STEAL IT MUST HAVE RESET COMPUTER. BECAUSE FOR APPROX.1 WEEK AFTER RECOVERY DOOR LOCKS WORKED FINE. NOW IT IS BACK TO THE PROBLEM AS BEFORE. MY 1 YR. OLD GRANDSON WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR A BRIEF TIME DUE TO THIS ISSUE, LUCKILY ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WAS DOWN AND MY DAUGHTER CRAWLED THRU. I HAVE READ THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006 HONDA CRV, BUT NOT FOR THE 2007. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT LEFT OVER DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM 2006 MODELS WERE USED IN 2007. I AM TOLD I COULD HAVE TO PAY UP TO $900.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I NOT ONLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, BUT I DON'T ACCEPT THAT IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA I'VE OWNED, AND MY LAST UNLESS SOMEONE WOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU *TR

SEATS
I HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ON NEWER VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICS BEHIND THE SAFETY FEATURE OF HAVING THE HEAD RESTRAINTS TILTED CLOSE TO THE DRIVERS HEAD. HOWEVER, IF YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR HEAD ALREADY CLOSE TO A HEAD RESTRAINT THAT IS NOT TILTED (AS FOUND IN THE OLDER VEHICLES 2004 AND OLDER), YOU WILL STILL GET THE SAME SAFETY AND THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND IT DOESN'T CAUSE PAIN. YOU NEED TO REVIEW AND AMEND YOUR REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE, BECAUSE CURRENTLY, THE TILTED HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE CAUSING MORE HARM (AND PAIN) THAN SAFETY TO US DRIVERS WHO DRIVE UPRIGHT. *TR

MY DRIVER DOOR AND HOOD DOOR ARE UNABLE TO OPEN; TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER AND IT'S COSTING ME OVER $800 FOR THEM JUST TO BREAK THE DOOR PANEL AND THEN TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IT'S A SEPARATE BILL; THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND I FIND IT TO BE VERY UNSAFE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE,THE AUTOMATIC POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE CAR REACHES APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THIS DOES HAPPEN BUT AFTER THE DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE, BOTH REAR DOORS ON MY VEHICLE UNLOCK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE 3 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN AND I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW THEM TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT THEY MAY OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH "CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCKS", I WILL NOT TOTALLY RELY ON THIS AS THE ONLY METHOD TO SECURING THE DOORS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN THIS MATTER,BUT THEY SEEM TO ATTRIBUTE IT TO A WEAR AND TEAR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT THIS WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DID NOT SEEM TO TAKE MY CONCERNS SERIOUSLY.I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE 2006 HONDA CR-V WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND AS EARLY AS A FEW MONTHS AGO THE 2012 HONDA CR-V ALONG WITH SOME ACURA MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THESE DEFECTIVE POWER DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS.I REPLACED THE FRONT DOOR MECHANISM IN 2009 ONLY TO HAVE BOTH REAR DOOR MECHANISMS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME A SHORT TIME LATER. I FIND IT HARD TO ATTRIBUTE THE FAILURE OF TWO INDIVIDUAL PARTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME TO A CASE OF WEAR AND TEAR OR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THESE PARTS ARE FAILING DUE TO AN INFERIOR DESIGN AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS MATTER TO BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND ACCELERATED THROUGH 6 OR 7 MPH. SO FAR IT IS JUST THE FRONT, RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR, BUT BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL ONLY BE GETTING WORSE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE I LIVE IN A CITY AND ANYONE COULD EASILY JUMP INTO THE CAR AND HIJACK THE VEHICLE. THIS PUTS EVERYONE IN DANGER OF BEING HARMED AND PUTS MY CAR AT GREAT RISK OF THEFT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT GOTTEN A RECALL WHEN IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I ONLY HAVE 34,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THERE IS NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR AND EVEN WHEN I DO IT STILL REOPENS ITSELF SOMETIMES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED. THESE CAR COMPANIES SHOULD NOT BE GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TOYOTA WAS NOT PENALIZED UNTIL PEOPLE STARTED DYING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A HONDA OWNER BECOMES THE VICTIM. *TR
