ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
JUST DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AND I HEAR A LOUD NOISE AND MY A/C STOPS WORKING....IT WAS 94 DEGREES IN THE MIDWEST! GOT HOME THAT NIGHT AND MY TIRE WAS FLAT. I TOOK MY TIRE TO GET FIXED AND THEY PULLED SHARDS OF METAL OUT OF THE TIRE, WHICH WAS NEW! WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE A/C LOOKED AT, THEY SAID THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAD BLOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND THAT IT WOULD BE $1700 TO REPAIR!!!!! THEY TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE COMPRESSOR BLEW, IT SPRAYED PIECES OF METAL THROUGHOUT MY CAR, AND OBVIOUSLY INTO MY TIRE! I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA, AND THEY OFFERED TO SPLIT THE COST. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THIS OFFER AS IT WAS SUMMER AND TEMPERATURES WERE OVER 100 WITH THE HEAT INDEX! HONDA REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE DAMAGED PART. THERE ARE SOOO MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS SAME EVENT HAPPENING, BUT HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, IF YOU WANT TO JOIN. THE MORE THAT JOIN, THE BETTER THE CHANCES OF GETTING HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED HONDA'S, BUT WILL NOW BE BUYING A TOYOTA! SO DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA! *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FLUID SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, DUE TO LOW FLUID. I NOW HAVE A "CASE HALVE" IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING. A VERY COSTLY EXPENSE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT A MAJORITY OF CR-V OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
MISSING WELD SPOTS ON THE 2010 HONDA CRV- REAR LEFT BOX OF TORQUE ARM CONNECTING WHEEL TO BODY FRAME- MAJOR BODY STRUCTURE DEFECTS-REPAIRED ONCE ON NOV 18-19- PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. HAD A DISCUSSION WITH HONDA REGARDING SAFETY OF BODY - I FEAR SAFETY ISSUES AND WANT THEM TO CANCEL THE CAR LEASE AND TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK- THEY ARE NOT AGREEING AND ARE REFERRING ME TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER RICK CASE, IS REFERRING ME TO HONDA. WHEN I TOLD THEM I WILL REPORT THIS TO NHTSA, THEY ASKED ME TO GO AHEAD- OBVIOUSLY THEY DO NOT HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR THE NHTSA. CAN THE NHTSA PLEASE HELP BY CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION ABOUT WHETHER THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. CAN THE NHTSA INSTRUCT THE MANUFACTURER TO TAKE THIS CAR OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THIS IS FIXED TO THE CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION? *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA CRV WHEN SOMEONE RAN A RED LIGHT. I HIT THE GAS AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING TO RED LINING EVEN AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO BE TRYING TO WORK BUY THEY DIDN'T STOP THE CAR OR EVEN SLOW ME DOWN. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO TURN THE KEY AND IT WOULD NOT TURN. I IWAS ALMOST HIT TWICE AS I HAD TO GO THROUGH A LIGHT. I HEADED TO A EMPTY BUILDING. I FIGURED I WOULD HAVE TO CRASH MYSELF TO KEEP FROM KILLING ANYONE. WHEN I TURNED TOWARDS THE BUILDING I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINALLY. THE CAR STILL RED LINED IN PARK. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND THEY HAD TO FIX THE COVER OVER THE THROTTLE. IT HAD SLIPPED DOWN AND THE THROTTLE CAUGHT ON IT. TOWING NUMBER IS 330-995-2385 HONDA TOLD ME NO RECALL ON 2004'S BUT HEARD ABOUT THE HONDA 2005 HYBRID AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT I WENT THROUGH. GAS STUCK AND NO BREAKS, IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I EVER WENT THROUGH. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO THE MECHANIC WHO TEST THE CAR AND THEN FIXED IT. I ASK HONDA TO REPORT IT AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPORT IT TO AMERICAN HONDA BUT I DECIDED AFTER THE WAY THEY ACTED TO REPORT IT TO YOU. I COULD BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SEVERAL FAMILIES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MY HONDA CR-V IS MAKING A LOUD CHATTERING NOISE DURING LOW-SPEED CORNERING. THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL NEED REGROUND. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS MY FAULT AND WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. FROM THE SOUND AND THE FEEL OF THE PROBLEM, I WILL SOON BE STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP IN HANOVER, PA WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, TOLD ME THAT I LET THE OIL GET TOO LOW AND RUINED THE GEARS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE PLACE WHERE I NORMALLY GET MY SERVICE. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE WITH THEM AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS FULL OF CLEAN OIL AND PROPERLY SERVICED. *TR

AIR BAGS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD TWO ACCIDENTS IN MY 2006 HONDA CRV AND THE AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER GONE OFF. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM, BUT HONDA WILL NOT ADMIT TO IT. ONE ACCIDENT WAS IN JULY OF 2009, THE SECOND NOVEMBER OF 2010 I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AT 34,000 MILES.....THEY WERE RATED FOR 60, 000..... SO FAR I'M NOT HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE MY SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE HEAT SHIELD HAS RUSTED OFF, AGAIN CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAY THAT IT'S A ROUTINE REPAIR. MY HONDA ONLY HAS 50, 000 MILES ON IT. NOTHING SHOULD BE RUSTING ON A 4 YEAR OLD CAR.... *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT A NEW 2009 HONDA CR-V IN DEC 2008. AFTER AROUND 30K MILES OR SO, I NOTICED THE CAR PULLING TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION BUT NOTHING THEY DID FIXED THE ISSUE. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY CONDUCTED THEIR OWN ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION (AT MY EXPENSE SINCE ALIGNMENTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). THIS STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. MY CAR STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE MAY GET WORSE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

CHILD SEAT, CHILD SEAT:LATCH CONNECTOR/CLIP
I HAVE A SUNSHINE KIDS JUVENILE PRODUCTS BRAND RADIAN XTSL. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR OCCURRENCES, INCLUDING TODAY SPECIFICALLY, THE LATCH CONNECTOR STRAPS HAVE LOOSENED ON THEIR OWN AFTER PROPER, CORRECT AND TIGHT INSTALLATION THROUGH NORMAL USE. THIS POSES A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD TO MY DAUGHTER AND THIS PRODUCT IS A DANGER WHEN USED WITH LATCH. THIS SEAT IS UNDER 1 YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN IN USE FOR UNDER 1 YEAR, THE SEAT IS IN GOOD SHAPE, AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS INSTALLED REAR FACING AND IS BEING USED WITH A CHILD THAT IS 30 LBS AND 37 INCHES TALL, WELL WITHIN GUIDELINES FOR USE OF LATCH AND FOR REAR FACING FOR THIS SEAT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER. THERE IS NO REASON THE LATCH SHOULD BE LOOSENING ON ITS OWN WITH CAREFUL AND CORRECT USE AND INSTALLATION, AND IS HIGHLY CONCERNING THAT IT WOULD POSE THIS KIND OF DANGER. THE INFORMATION OFF OF OUR SEAT IS AS FOLLOWS: MODEL NUMBER: 19500, DATE OF MANUFACTURE: 12/2009, DATE OF PURCHASE: MARCH 2010. THE ACTIONS TAKEN TO CORRECT THE FAILURE HAVE BEEN TO RE-TIGHTEN THE STRAPS, HOWEVER THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, AS THE STRAPS ARE NOT CORRECTLY RETAINED IN A TIGHT OR LOCKED POSITION (AS SEEN BY THE SELF-LOOSENING ACTION). MY CONCERN IS THAT THE FORCE OF AN ACCIDENT WOULD CAUSE THE STRAPS TO LOOSEN MID-IMPACT ON THEIR OWN AND NOT RESTRAIN A CHILD.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STRUCTURE, EQUIPMENT
NOT A COMPLAINT. INFORMATION ONLY. MY 1999 HONDA CRV IS A GREAT CAR WITH ONLY MINIMAL NORMAL REPAIRS. DURING A PANIC STOP IN A 45 MPH SPEED ZONE I BROKE A BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND WAS WITHIN MILLIMETERS OF CREAMING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO A MECHANIC IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LINE HAD BEEN RUBBING ON THE FRAME AND BECAME WEAKENED AND HAD BROKEN UNDER THE EXTRA PRESSURE. WARNING: HAVE YOUR MECHANIC CHECK YOUR BRAKE LINES TO INSURE THEY ARE NOT RUBBING ON SOMETHING THAT WILL WEAKEN THEM AND CAUSE THEM TO FAIL WHEN YOU REALLY, REALLY NEED THEM. SIGNED: HAPPY HONDA OWNER. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
WARNING FOR TIRE SIGNAL CAME ON DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH TIRE PRESSURE (AGAIN). I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER FOR AIR AND PRESSURE CHECK ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT ALL 4 OF MY YOKOHAMA TIRES HAT ONE INCH PLUS OF DRY ROT. THESE TIRES ARE ABOUT ONE YEAR OLD, HAVE APPROX. 35,000 MILES ON THEM AND MY VEHICLE HAS AN OUTSTANDING SERVICE RECORD. COPIES OF RECEIPTS SHOW THAT EVERY 40,000 MILES I PURCHASED NEW TIRES. ALL WORK AND ALL PART PURCHASES HAVE BEEN DONE 100% AT HONDA DEALER-JACK MATIA IN ELYRIA, OHIO. THE ONLY SERVICE PERFORMED OUT OF THE DEALER IS TWICE A YEAR DETAIL SERVICE DONE AT A REPUTABLE DETAIL SHOP IN WESTLAKE, OHIO. UPON MY CONTACTING THE DEALER AND VISITING THEM, THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD BE MISSED AND NEVER WITNESSED "DRY ROT". THE RETURN/CREDIT PROCESS WITH THE DEALER AND TIRE RACK (HONDA'S DISTRIBUTOR) WAS AN INSULT ON TOP OF HAVING TO PURCHASE BRAND NEW TIRES AND MY CHOICE, A DIFFERENT BRAND. I EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT AND ANGER TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSULTED. RESEARCH ON MY END INDICATES THAT THERE IS IN FACT DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THE TIRES AND DRY ROT AND THE I BELIEVE THE DEALER IS JUST AS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TIRES SINCE THEY SOLD THEM AND INSTALLED THEM FOR ME AND SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT IS ONE INCH AND HALF ON ALL OF THE TIRES. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. NO HARM CAME TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE. HOWEVER, I FEEL I AM DUE COMPENSATION/REFUND FOR THIS PURCHASE AND THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO INSURE THAT NO HARM COMES TO ANYONE ELSE THAT MIGHT HAVE YOKOHAMA TIRES. *TR

I OWN 2006 HONDA CRV. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 60,000-90,000 MILES. FIRST TIME HAD TO REPLACE IT AT 19000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE NOISE WHEN THE WHEELS WERE TURNED RIGHT/LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. THE SAME PROBLEM RESURFACED AT 53000 MILES AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP PUSHES A $250 DOLLAR PROCEDURE (REAR DIFFERENTIAL CHANGE 2 TIMES AND BURNISHING THE CLUTCHES) TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER THE WARRANTY ANYMORE. THE DEALER ALSO RECOMMENDS CHANGING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL EVERY 15000 MILES. HONDA MISLED ITS CUSTOMERS WITH ITS LOW MAINTANNACE SCHEDULE. *TR
