SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TWO REAR SEAT BELTS AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT HAD A PROBLEM RETRACTING AND WOULD SOMETIMES BECOME STUCK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE 9-15-06- N/C WARRANTY WORK. LOW BEAM LIGHTS CUT IN AND OUT - 11/06/06 N/C WARRANTY WORK. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT OUT - 9-18-08 - COST = 22.50 + COST OF BULB 10.00=$32.50. HEADLIGHT BULB OUT - 12-6-2008 - COST = $26.29. LEFT HEADLIGHT INOPERABLE -6-11-2011 COST = $32.85. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INOPERABLE -10-03-11 COST = $56.30. I HAVE ALSO BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A LIGHT BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THE LIGHTS WERE OUT. I HAVE STARTED THE CAR AT NIGHT TO FIND OUT I HAD NO LIGHTS. I HAVE DRIVEN DOWN A DANGEROUS TWO LANE HIGHWAY NOT KNOWING MY LIGHTS WERE OUT OR KNOWING AND HAVING TO DRIVE WITH EMERGENCY BLINKERS ON. MY HONDA DEALERS HAVE ALWAYS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS ANYTHING BUT "RANDOM"/"LUCK OF THE DRAW." THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST WITH 2002-2004. IT IS ALSO WITH 2005 AT LEAST, PROBABLY MORE BASED ON COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. SEE HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-CR-V/TLND3JKAUI93FS68. *KB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I CALLED HONDA ABOUT MY AIR CONDTIONING SYSTEM AND DID AS THEY SAID. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO AN ACCREDITED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED (WHICH I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET). THEY QUOTED ME $4,000. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AND AFTER THREE MONTH I FINALLY HEARD BACK FROM THEM, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THAT I HAD GONE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY HONDA OWNER WHO HAVE HAD THERE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BREAK. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT GO BY WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. WHICH IS TRUE TO A POINT BUT I THINK THEY HAD HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ALREADY BECAUSE THE REPRESENTATIVE USE THE SAME DESCRIPTION I HAVE READ ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, WHICH WAS "AIR CONDITIONING UNIT HAS CRACKED CAUSING SHARDS OF METAL TO PLUG UP THE UNIT, CAUSING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. HONDA USA QUOTED ME $3,991 TO FIX MY A/C WITH A DEADLINE OF 60 DAYS TO ACCEPT OR THEY WOULD RECIND THE "DISCOUNT" OFFER. I KNOW A/C PROBLEMS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I FEEL THAT HONDA KNEW OR KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL OR SHOW THERE LOYAL OWNERS THAT THEY CARE. UNTIL SUCH TIME I AM NOW A FORMER HONDA CUSTOMER. *KB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BOTH OF MY LOWBEAMS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I SWITCHED TO MY HIGHBEAMS AND THEY WORKED FINE. UPON GETTING IT CHECKED OUT, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL GOOD, AS WERE THE FUSES AND RELAYS. THE DIAGNOSIS POINTED TO THE SWITCH, BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN OPENED OR REPLACED YET. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REAR BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING AFTER JUST 16000 MILES, AND MOST OF THOSE WERE PUT ON BY AN 80 YEAR OLD LADY, SO NOT TERRIBLY INTENSE DRIVING. CODE WAS B6 - BRAKE SERVICE - REPLACED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID AND NEW BRAKES. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER 16000 MILES. *KB

VISIBILITY
THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT LIMITED TO MY CURRENT VEHICLE. I AM 5' 3" TALL. THE PART OF THE CAR'S BODY THAT SEPARATES THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SIDE WINDOWS IN ALL VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN CREATES A HUGE OBSTRUCTION TO MY VIEW. I ALMOST STRUCK A BICYCLIST COMING FROM THE LEFT... HE AND THE ENTIRE BIKE WERE BLOCKED FROM MY VISION. WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN, THE ENTIRE STREET CAN BE OBSCURED. THIS PROBLEM WAS EVEN MORE SEVERE IN A 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE I OWNED. ALSO, WHY AREN'T MIRRORS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT ON THE DRIVER SIDE MANDATORY? *TR *KB

TIRES
THE CONTINENTAL TIRES HONDA PUTS ON THE CRV ARE POOR QUALITY. I WAS INFORMED BY HONDA'S MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES SOON LAST YEAR. I HAD TO REPLACE 4 OF THEM AT 39,000 MILES NOW. GOOD QUALITY TIRES SHOULD DRIVE MORE THAN 39,000 MILES. *KB

WHEELS
HONDA 2008 CRV HAS VIBRATIONS IN THE TIRES AND IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT (LEFT WHEN TIRES ARE ROTATED). IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF HONDA 2008 CRV WITH MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. THE MAINTENANCE CENTER BLAMES THE TIRES, THE TIRE SHOP BLAMES THE WHEELS. BOTTOM LINE IS HONDA KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THE SAME RESPONSE IS NOT THE WHEELS IS THE TIRES! REALITY IT IS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS NO FIX. NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. *TR

AIR BAGS
IN SEPT 2009 AT APPROXIMATELY 58,500 MILES, SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER POWERING CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN. PER OWNERS MANUAL, TOOK CAR TO FAMILY HONDA DEALER IN RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CALIFORNIA TO INVESTIGATE (PRESUMABLY UNDER HONDACARE NO DEDUCTIBLE EXTENDED WARRANTY). SERVICE TECH FOUND TROUBLE CODE 81-43, AND REINITIALIZED/ RECALIBRATED THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR (OPDS) AND CHARGED ME $95 DUE TO THE DIAGNOSIS NOT BEING COVERED BY HONDACARE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSED HARDWARE FAILURE. SEPTEMBER 2011, APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILES: SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND REMAINED ON AFTER SUBSEQUENT POWER ON, POWER OFF CYCLES. APPROXIMATELY ONE DAY LATER (AND SEVERAL POWER CYCLES LATER), THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT WENT OUT THE FOLLOWING POWER ON/OFF CYCLE. LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON AGAIN. THERE IS NO COVER ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I DO NOT USE IT FOR STORAGE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS FOR THE HONDA CRV. YOU CANNOT MAKE IT HAPPEN BY DOING SOMETHING AND YOU CAN GO WEEKS WITHOUT IT HAPPENING. AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE WARNING LETTERS TPMS LIGHT UP AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL TELLS YOU TO IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE DEALER IF THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CASE # [XXX]. THE DEALER AND HONDA SAID THE PROBLEM IS RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE WITH THE SYSTEM AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED. WHEN THE TPMS IS LIT THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING SO YOU DO NOT KNOW IF A LOW PRESSURE IN ONE OR MORE OF THE TIRES IS PRESENT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
