ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
THIS INCIDENT CONCERNS THE HORN. IT IS A JOKE AND A DANGEROUS ON AT THAT. AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-20 OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA I WAS DRIVING ALONE SIDE A PICK-UP TRUCK TO MY RIGHT. MY FRONT BUMPER WAS ABOUT EVEN WITH THE TRUCK'S WINDOWS POST. THE TRUCK STARTED MOVING OVER INTO MY LANE AND SINCE THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR BESIDE ME (ON MY LEFT) I COULD NOT MOVE OVER SO I STARTED BLOWING THE HORN. I COULD BARELY HEAR IT SO I KNOW DRIVER OF THE TRUCK COULD NOT HEAR IT SO HE CONTINUED TO MOVE OVER INTO MY LANE. MY ONLY CHOICE WAS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND LET THE CAR TO MY LEFT PASS ME AND MOVE OVER BEHIND IT. I WAS MISSED BY INCHES BY THE CAR THAT WAS FOLLOWING THAT CAR. THAT DRIVER HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES VERY HARD SO AS NOT TO HIT ME. THE HORN NEEDS TO BE MUCH LOUDER THEN IT IS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
INCREDIBLY FAST WEAR ON ONE LEFT REAR BRAKE PADS AND GRINDING SOUND AT ALL SPEEDS. VISUALLY CHECKED ALL THE BRAKES - THE PADS ON ALL 3 ARE NORMAL WITH LITTLE WEAR, BUT THE LEFT REAR IS TOTALLY WORN. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. ALSO THE ROTORS ARE WORN UNEVEN WITH "PITTED" SURFACE. THIS IS NOT THE DUE TO A USAGE, BUT DUE TO SOME MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS SEVERE - I CAN NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE!!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE
THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AS A FINANCIAL ONE. IT SEEMS THAT BITS OR METAL GO THROUGH THE COMPRESSOR. AC WAS REPAIRED BY (BAILEY) DEALERSHIP UNDER/AT 24,000 MIL. NOW AT 76 K, AC WENT OUT AGAIN. DEALER (MOMENTUM) WANTED $4,010. TO REPAIR BUT HONDA OFFERED TO PAY 1/2 LEAVING MY SHARE TO BE $2,005. TOO MUCH. I HAD COMPRESSOR, ETC REPLACED ELSEWHERE FOR MUCH LESS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE COMPRESSOR. I WOULD LIKE THIS INFO. SENT TO THE HONDA MANUFACTURE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE
IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WITH AND WITHOUT THE ECON BUTTON ON, THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS. TOOK IT TO HONDA AND ASKED THEM TO DRIVE TO WITNESS THE PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THEY DROVE IT. THE PROBLEM IS SOMEWHAT INTERMITTENT, SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR DRIVING JUST IN CASE IT MIGHT HAPPEN. THE DEALER TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE WITH ECON BUTTON IN CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THAT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY. *TR

THE CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE BULBS, BECAUSE THE DEALER SUGGESTED THE REPLACEMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
EVERY TIME THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED EITHER BY THE SWITCH OR MANUALLY, IT IMMEDIATELY RE-LOCKS ITSELF MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. TO OPEN THE DOOR, YOU MUST KNOW TO BE HOLDING ON THE HANDLE AND PULL IT IN THE SPLIT SECOND AFTER YOU ACTIVATE THE UN-LOCK BUTTON. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A SITUATION WHERE THE PASSENGER HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AS IN CASE OF A FIRE, SUBMERGING IN WATER OR AFTER A WRECK. I AM FRIGHTENED TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ONE OF THESE CASES AND A CHILD OR UNSUSPECTING ADULT WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT GET OUT. OF COURSE, THERE ARE MANY OTHER SCENARIOS WHERE THE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT IN A HURRY AND THIS DEFECTIVE LOCKING MECHANISM WOULD PREVENT THEIR ESCAPE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CR-V APPROX 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY IN FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED AND COLLAPSED. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS CLOSE BY TO HAVE THE AUTO EXAMINED. I CONTACTED HONDA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE AND NEITHER HONDA OR THE DEALERSHIP HAD ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE WINDOW TO EXPLODE OTHER THAN A FOREIGN OBJECT HITTING THE WINDOW. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ACCORDING TO HONDA. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES AT THE TIME THE WINDOW EXPLODED. I WAS ALSO NOT NEAR A LARGE TRUCK OR A MOWING VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE THROWN UP DEBRIS THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE SIDE WINDOW. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NOT ANY UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM SUCH AS ANY PRESSURE ON THE WINDOW MECHANISM OR PROBLEMS RELATED TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES SUCH AS OUR AREA HAS BEEN HAVING. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUSED A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT AND OR A FATALITY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
BOTH FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THE HONDA 2006 CRV. IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS AS SUDDENLY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE DARK. THE FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2010 AS THEY SURPRISINGLY ONLY LASTED HALF TO A YEAR. THE LAST TIME ONLY LAST TWO MONTH! WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY OF THIS LIGHT BULB PROBLEMS WITH OUR CIVIC AND ODYSSEY. SOMETHING MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THE HONDA 2006 CRV. *JS
