LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATED THROUGH 7 OR 8 MPH FROM STOP. AFTER AWHILE, DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND INTERMITTENTLY THE DRIVER DOOR COULD NOT BE MANUALLY LOCKED (HEAVY RESISTANCE WHEN TRYING TO FLIP LATCH). ON A LESS FREQUENT BASIS, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT AUTO OR MANUALLY LOCK. FOR LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DOOR LOCK SOLENOIDS FIRE LIKE A MACHINE GUN WHENEVER THE DOORS ARE MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. SOME TIMES THEY ALL LOCK, OTHER TIMES ONE OR MORE OF THE DOORS WON'T. TOLERATED FOR MANY MONTHS AS DEALER WOULDN'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ONLY 1000 MILES AND A FEW DAYS PAST 12MO/36K COVERAGE AND DIDN'T WANT TO PAY DEALER ESTIMATED FIX AT UP TO 800 DOLLARS. NOW STARTING TO PICK UP GRANDCHILDREN FOR AFTER SCHOOL CARE AND NEED TO FIX. SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT RECALL? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON TONIGHT WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK AFTER DARK. FOG LIGHTS ALSO WILL NOT TURN ON. HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORK. NO BLOWN FUSES. SLIGHT BURNING SMELL IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND BOTH FOG LIGHTS WORKED YESTERDAY. HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM CHECKED BY DEALER OR MECHANIC YET. LEFT HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED TWO MONTHS AGO, RIGHT HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED ONE MONTH AGO, BOTH BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. I BOUGHT THIS HONDA CR-V EX NEW IN 2002 AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD THE HONDA DEALER ADD FOG LIGHTS TO THIS CR-V IN 2004. REALLY WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT BOTH LOW BEAMS AND BOTH FOG LIGHTS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. UPDATED 02/24/12 *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR WOULD NOT START:NO ENGINE TURNING, NO LIGHTS, ETC. THOUGHT I HAD A DEAD BATTERY, LOCKED CAR TO GET HELP (VIA KEY FOB) AND LIGHTS WENT ON ACKNOWLEDGING IT LOCKED. TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED FINE. RADIO WAS BLINKING AND HAD TO ENTER RADIO SECURITY CODE LIKE THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. DROVE CAR HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS MORNING CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN, FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCESS OF LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR WOULD START (NO BLINKING RADIO THOUGH). DROVE INTO WORK, STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, STARTED TO DRIVE (MOVED ABOUT 50 FEET) AND DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. GOOD SAMARITAN MESSED WITH IT AND MANAGED TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL SO IT COULD BE PUSHED TO SIDE OF ROAD. SAID THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN ENGAGED WHICH IS WHY IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK? FROM SIDE OF ROAD CAR STARTED FINE. I DROVE IT HOME WHERE NOW SITS IN THE GARAGE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
IN EARLY NOVEMBER, 2011 A CAMARO RAN A RED LIGHT, AND OUR 2005 HONDA CR-V CRASHED INTO THE CAMARO. BOTH OF US WERE GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. THE FRONT AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS ALL SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED, HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG BURST OPEN AND I GOT SECONDARY BURNS TO BOTH MY LEFT AND RIGHT WRISTS. THE SLEEVES OF MY JACKET-COAT WERE FRIED STIFF. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE AIRBAG SAVED MY LIFE, BUT THE MALFUNCTION OF IT BURSTING OPEN, PRODUCING SECONDARY BURNS, CAN PROBABLY BE SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN IMPROVE ON.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT OF AN OUTDOOR SHOPPING MALL, SUDDENLY THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. I SHIFTED TO L1 TO SEE HOW IT WOULD REACT. NO MOVEMENT. SHIFTED TO L2, STILL THE CAR DID NOT BUDGE AT ALL. FINALLY, I SHIFTED TO R, THEN, IT MOVED BACKWARD. I PUT THE SHIFT INTO D, AND THEN O.K. I REMEMBER, IN THE PAST, THE CAR HESITATED TO START OUT AFTER A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO MUCH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE REPLICATED TO DIAGNOSE IT. I TOLD THEM, I OR ANY ONE COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I TOLD THEM I AM BRINGING IN MY CAR TOMORROW. BUT I AM AFRAID IF THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS ON THE BUSY STREET ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER. I WILL APPRECIATE TO LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE HAD EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. IF NO ONE HAS REPORTED SO FAR, I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM REGISTERED ON YOUR DATA BASE. THANK YOU. *KB
