ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
DEALER WAS UNABLE TO HOOK UP WIRING HARNESS ON TOW BAR THAT GOES UP TO THE MOTOR HOME. CONSUMER FEELS IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT TAIL LIGHTS ON TOW BAR. ALSO, IF A VEHICLE WEIGHS OVER 1000 POUNDS, IN SOME STATES, ITEM THAT IS BEING TOWED MUST HAVE BRAKES. BRAKES WERE NOT AVAILBLE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. *AK THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHSED WITH A CONTRACT AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO TOW BEHIND A MOTORHOME. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE AGREEMENT. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE REAR LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AS REQUIRED AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT WIRED. THE WIRE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE TOW VEHICLE BRAKES. THE MANAGER TOLD CONSUMER THAT HONDA WOULD NOT SPEND ANY MORE TIME OR MONEY ON A PROPER INSTALLATION. *JG1

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
MY PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN YOU PREPARE TO COME TO A STOP, PRESS THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE, THE CAR WILL DIE. NO WARNING AT ALL. THE RPM'S WILL JUST DIVE TO 0 AND IT DIES. WHEN IT FIRST BEGAN, I KEPT A DETAIL LOG OF WEATHER, LENGTH OF TRIP, EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF AND EACH TIME IT DIED, IT BLEW ANOTHER IDEA OUT OF THE WATER. NOTHING SEEMED TO COORDINATE FROM TIME TO TIME. I HAVE HAD IT IN ABOUT 4 TIMES TOTAL INTO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND NIETHER OF THEM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALL. THEREFORE, THEY CAN'T FIND NOR FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON A DUAL HIGHWAY AT APPROX 55 MPH, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR COMING INTO A REDUCED SPEED AREA AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT A FAST PACE AND HIGH SPEED. I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO APPROX 45 MPH AND JAMMED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ROAR. I DID NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF UNTIL ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. I KNEW NO ONE WOULD BELEIVE ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER MAINTENANCE AND SALES PERSONNEL WITTINESSED THE STARTING OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE AGAIN CONTINUING TO ROAR AT AROUNG 8,000 RPMS IMMEDIATELY ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICAN AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO MECHANICAL REASON FOR THIS INCIDENT. THE CAR STOPPED ROARING AS FAST AS IT STARTED. NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH MY CAR, THE DEALER DOES NOT EVEN WANT AS A TRADE IN DUE TO THIER FEAR. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THE MATTER. HONDAS TECHNICAL PERSONNAL STILL HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 HONDA CRV ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65 MILE/HR, THE HOOD WAS POPPED UP SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGN. THE HOOD EVEN FLIPPED OVER MORE THAN 90 DEGREES AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE HOOD SMASHED INTO WINDSHIELD SO POWERFULLY, THE WINDSHIELD WAS TOTALLY DAMAGED. THE IMPACT WAS SO STRONG, ALL ITEMS INSIDE THE CAR WAS FLYING FREELY INSIDE THE CAR, SUCH AS SUNGLASSES, GARAGE GARAGE DOOR OPENER, PARKING DECAL. MY EYE WAS HIT BY GARAGE DOOR OPENER, I LOST MY LEFT EYES VISION TEMPORARY. THE WORST PART IS THE WHOLE FRONT WINDOW VIEW WAS BLOCKED OUT ENTIRELY BY THE HOOD. MY CAR LOST CONTROL ON HIGHWAY WITH 65 MILES SPEED FOR A FEW SECONDS, IT WAS THE MOST SCARY MOMENT IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. IT IS EITHER THE DEFECT PART OR INFERIOR DESIGN TO CAUSE THE HOOD TO HIT WINDSHIELD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULDNT HAPPEN AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FATAL, I HOPE YOUR OFFICE CAN TAKE ACTION ASAP TO AVOID ANY DEATH DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
I AM 6'0". WHEN DRIVING MY HONDA S2000, MY LEFT TEMPLE IS LEVEL WITH AND ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF FRAME. THIS IS A STEEL ROD STRUCTURE, WITH SHARP EDGES. ON TURNING INTO AND OUT OF MY DRIVE, I FREQUENTLY IMPACT MY LEFT TEMPLE ON THIS NONPADDED STRUCTURE. I CONTACTED HONDA THROUGH CONSUMER LINE AND THROUGH THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP. WHILE I AM NOT AN ENGINEER, IT SEEMS THAT REPLACING THE SEATS WITH OTHERS THAT SIT THE DRIVER LOWER, OR SIMPLY LOWERING THE EXISTING SEAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NHTSA INTERCESSION IS NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR REPLY, AS THIS IS MY DAILY TRANSPORTTION. A SIDE IMPACT WOULD PROBABLY CAUSE FATALITY OR MAJOR BRAIN INJURY. I AM A NEUROLOGIST AND HAVE BEEN INJURED IN MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FLAW AND NEEDS CORRECTION ASAP. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY LEGISLATOR, BUT AM CERTAINLY WILLING IF THAT WOULD HELP.

SUSPENSION
I HAVE OWNED A 2001 CRV HONDA 4WD OR REAL TIME FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR THIS IS THE FIRST FULL WINTER IN RURAL NORTHERN MICHIGAN WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE AND LET ME ADD THIS WINTER WAS MILD COMPARED TO MOST. I HAVE HAD TWO ROLLOVERS WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE WITHIN THE LAST 8WEEKS THE FIRST IN DECEMBER AND THE SECOND IN FEB 02 AT FIRST I DID EXCEPT THE ROLLOVER WITH ROAD CONDITIONS AND ALL BUT AFTER THE SECOND I CANNOT, I HAVE LEARNED NOW THAT THIS SO CALLED SUV IS SOLD AND WAS SOLD TO ME AS A 4WD ALL TIME BUT IT IS INFACT NOT. I HAVE LEARNED ALSO WHY I WOULD JUST LOOSE CONTROL IT IS A AUTOMATIC SPIN AND ROLL AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL THIS IS BECAUSE THE REAL TIME 4WD IS NOT 4WD THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE KICKS IN WHEN SENSORS DETECT THAT THE FRONT WHEELS ARE SPINNING,LOSING TRACTION, THEN THE CRV REVERT TO FRONT WHEEL DRIVE THE MORE THE FRONT WHEELS SLIP, THE MORE THE REAR WHEELS KICK IN WHICH CAUSES YOU TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL, THIS HAS HAPPEND ON BLACK ICE TWICE NO SPEEDING TICKETS AND NO AT FAULT TICKETS FOR THE DRIVER IF THAT TELLS YOU ANYTHING. I AM 32 AND HAVE TO HAD A ACCIDENT IN 13YEARS MY INSURANCE HAS DOUBLED, THIS HAS CAUSED INJURIES AND IT IS HARD TO BRING MYSELF TO DRIVE WITHOUT CRYING. I AM SO SCARED THEY ARE GOING TO FIX AND GIVE ME THIS CAR BACK I CANNOT PUT MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN IT THIS DEATH TRAP. THIS SUV IS NOT FIT FOR A RURAL AREAS OR ANY KIND OF DRIVING OTHER THAN ON DRY WARM PAVEMENT ONLY.*AK
