POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING A LONG 80 MILES FROM MY HOME WITH MY TWO CHILDREN, THANKFULLY I HAD JUST EXITED A CONGESTED MAJOR HIGHWAY SOUTH OF DC. WITH ZERO WARNING I LOST ALL POWER, LIGHTS ON DASH WERE ON AND FLASHING AND COULD BARELY GET FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ABOUT 5 MILES FROM ANY STATION AS THERE WAS ONLY COMMUTER PARKING LOTS AND SAND DUNES AND A DISTANT NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK AS IT GOT DARK, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. I HAD A MECHANIC I TRUST COME TAKE A LOOK AND HE DETERMINED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID. HE REPLACED IT AND TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND SHORTLY IT BEGAN TO FLASH LIGHTS AND SHOW NEUTRAL AND WAS IN WHAT HE CALLED, LIMP MODE. I HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA WHERE THEY RAN THE DIAGNOSIS, I WAS THEN TOLD THEY WOULD NEED TO DRAIN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THERE THEY FOUND CHUNKS OF METAL AND TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. MY VEHICLE HAD 77,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD MAYBE THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT THE TRUTH LIES ON THIS SITE WHERE I HAVE READ NOW NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME EXACT CHAIN OF EVENTS. I WAS TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE IT FOR $6200 FROM HONDA, I THEN CONTIMPLATED A NEW PURCHASE AS I AM ALREADY UPSIDE DOWN ON MY CAR LOAN. THIS IS A DISPICABLE THING FOR HONDA TO DO TO IT'S LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND I DECLINED A NEW CAR AND HAVE TOLD THE MANAGER I WILL NO LONGER DO BUSINESS WITH HONDA ESPECIALLY NOW SEEING THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES TO HONDA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE WAY WE START OUR ENGINE IS USING A FOB KEY DEVICE. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO PRESS THE START/IGNITION BUTTON A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND ON. MOST OF THE TIME WE HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING THE START/IGNITION BUTTON NUMEROUS TIMES (MORE THAN 10 TIMES) TO TURN IT OFF /ON. WE TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. THE SAID THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CURRENTLY BEING MANUFACTURED. I ASKED IF I COULD PAY FOR IT NOW SO THAT THEY COULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE, THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE PART WOULD BE OR WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE/MANUFACTURED. I ASKED HOW I COULD FIND OUT WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE? THEY SUGGESTED I CALL BACK ONCE A WEEK TO SEE IF THE PART IS AVAILABLE. WE ARE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE WE WERE TOLD IT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED THE CAR MAY NOT TURN OFF/ON DURING AN EMERGENCY AND WE MAY BE SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IF WE EVER HAVE TO TURN IT OFF/ON DURING AN EMERGENCY. I ALSO CALLED MANY KEY SHOPS, CAR ALARM COMPANIES TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX IT OR REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING ELSE. EVERYONE TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES. I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT I SHOULD DO IF I AM SOMEWHERE AND I CAN'T TURN ON/OFF THE CAR? THEY SUGGESTED FOR ME TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND TOW IT TO MY HOUSE. I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY SUGGEST I DO NEXT. THEY SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS AND SAID 'I DON'T KNOW'. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO BUT IS NOW WORST. SEE ATTACHED PAPERWORK FROM DEALER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A DAY AGO, MY SON WAS STRANDED AT OUR LOCAL WALMART ABOUT 6 MILES AWAY AT MIDNIGHT. HE GOT IN THE HRV AND IT WOULD NOT START. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STILL NO START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY TERMINAL WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT HAS FUSES CONNECTED TO IT. THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART IS OVER $300. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 60 DAYS AGO. MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL BATTERY TERMINAL CABLES. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH THE HONDA VEHICLES WITH THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM. YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR FIXES. HONDA JUST WANTS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO KEEP BUYING NEW CABLES???

SMART START WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, CAR HESITATED, BUT DID EVENTUALLY START. THREE TIMES IN THE NEXT FOUR DAYS, OVER A WEEKEND (OF COURSE), THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE STARTING AGAIN AND AGAIN, TWICE AT NIGHT IN A DARK PARKING LOT! TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND HAS HAD ALL MAINTENANCE WORK PERFORMED. THEY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM, "INSPECTED AND FOUND CODE B12C5 STORED IN THE PCM. DIAGNOSED AND FOUND A *DEFECTIVE* ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH." IN EVERY INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN PARK, ON A LEVEL, DRY SURFACE. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY ONE YEAR AND 10,000 MILES, I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART!

WHILE DRIVING 40-45 MPH, THE CVT TRANSMISSION CEASED ALL FUNCTIONS. THERE WAS NOTHING LEADING UP TO THIS. THE ENGINE WAS FINE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED MOVING THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST ABOUT TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY! THE DEALERSHIP FOUND "METAL PIECES" IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (WHICH HAS BEEN CHANGED WITH OEM FLUID AT EVERY RECOMMEND INTERVAL).

WHEN PRESSING THE PUSH START/STOP IGNITION SWITCH IN MY CAR , THE CAR WILL NOT START NOR STOP THE ENGINE. REPEATED PRESSING ON THE SWITCH AND THE BRAKE IS REQUIRED FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AND STOP.THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH SIGN HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF ON MY DASHBOARD FOR THE PAST 5-6 MONTHS. I HAVE CHANGED THE CAR BATTERY AND THE BATTERY IN MY KEY FOB IN THE LAST MONTH HOPING THAT THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE HONDA DEALER ON 09/12/20 THAT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH. DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS DEMAND FOR THIS SWITCH THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER, WHICH POINTS TO THE FACT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

MY INCIDENT OCCURRED IN JANUARY 2020, WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE. THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING IN MY PARKING GARAGE AND TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPOT. AS I WAS MAKING THE TURN TO THE RIGHT, I HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. INSTEAD OF REDUCING SPEED, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND HIT A CEMENT POLE NEXT TO MY PARKING SPOT. THE CAR SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. THE FRONT END WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED AND REQUIRED EXTENSIVE REPAIR ON THE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILL, FRONT LAMPS, RADIATOR, AND COOLING,

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RCV'D RECALL NOTICE AT END OF JULY FOR FUEL PUMP MODULE WITH 'OUT OF SPECIFICATION IMPELLERS. OVERTIME, THESE IMPELLERS MAY ABSORB AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL AND DEFORM. A DEFORMED IMPELLER MAY CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING'. DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION UNTIL THE END OF JULY 2020 WHEN THE RECALL WAS SET IN MAY 2020. DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED VEHICLE WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL AND CHECKED IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST SAYING THE PARTS WERE NOT YET RELEASED BY HONDA. FINALLY, ON 8/26/20 I CONTACTED CORPORATE WHO INDICATED THE PART HAD BEEN RELEASED A FEW WEEKS PRIOR. DEALER PUT IN A NEW FUEL PUMP WHICH APPARENTLY FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT UPON PICKING IT UP THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE SMELLED VERY STRONG OF GASOLINE. THE HONDA MECHANIC REASSURED IT WAS JUST FUMES FROM THE REPAIR SINCE THEY ACCESS PUMP TO THE FUEL TANK FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE . HOWEVER, ON THE ROUGHLY 20 MILE RIDE HOME THE SMELL OF GASOLINE GOT WORSE SO MUCH THAT WE HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE WE WERE GETTING A HEADACHE AND OVER TAKEN BY THE GASOLINE SMELL. WE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL THE VEHICLE TANK WHICH WAS DOWN TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK. WHEN THE GAS ATTENDANT FILLED THE TANK ALL THE GAS STARTED LEAKING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. CAR WAS PUSHED AWAY FROM THE PUMP. GAS CONTINUED TO POUR FROM UNDERNEATH AS A STEADY STREAM THEN AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR TO A DRIP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALER WHO THE NEXT DAY THOUGHT THE WING NUT TO HOLD THE PUMP GASKET LOOSENED AND ASSURED IT WAS FIXED. THEY FILLED THE TANK DROVE IT , SAID IT WAS FINE. I LEFT IT OVERNIGHT, AND THE NEXT DAY THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND SAW GASOLINE STILL WAS LEAKING OUT FROM AN UNDETERMINED AREA UNDER THE VEHICLE . WHY WAS THE PART NOT RELEASED FOR SO LONG?HONDA REPAIR GARAGE HAS NOT YET DETERMINED WHERE THE LEAK IS AND WHAT IS DEFECTIVE AT THE TIME THIS IS WRITTEN 3 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL 'REPAIR'

POWER TRAIN
VIN: [XXX] YEAR: 2018 MAKE: HONDA MODEL: HR-V WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN AT AROUND 35 MPH, THE CAR STARTED DOING A PULSATING SENSATION. AS WE GOT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND DRIVING FROM (08/08/2020), BOISE, IDAHO TO BELLEVUE WASHINGTON THE "ORANGE LIGHT" CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING AND LOST ALL POWER. PULLED OVER "SAFELY" ON THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR. THERE WAS NO LIGHT THAT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. (08/10/2020) HONDA OF KIRKLAND HAS HAD THE HRV FOR 1 WEEK NOW, AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR "NO CODES". WE ASKED THE "SERVICE ADVISOR THAT WORKS FOR HONDA OF KIRKLAND" IF IT IS SAFE AND OKAY TO DRIVE THE CAR, HE TOLD US IT IS SAFE AND OKAY TO DRIVE THE HRV. WE PICKED UP THE CAR, AND AGAIN WE FILL THE SAME PULSATION/HESITATION ISSUE AS BEFORE. THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES, EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS DARK IN COLOR, AND TO ONLY CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ONLY WHEN THE CARS COMPUTER MAINTENANCE INDICATOR SAYS TO. (NOTE THE MAINTENANCE INDICATOR NEVER CAME ON INDICATING TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION, BASED OFF THE CODE THAT WOULD COME ON THE DASH). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

8/1/2020: AT 65 MPH THE ENGINE STARTED VIBRATING, WHEN ACCELERATED TO 75MPH ENGINE STALLS, RPM RAPIDLY INCREASED TO ~5000 AND COLLAPSED. LOST FORWARD MOMENTUM AND OUTPUT FROM THE ENGINE. MULTIPLE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, BREAK SYSTEM LIGHTS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ETC. CAME ON). VEHICLE WAS ON THE ACTIVE LANE, PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STEERED TO THE SHOULDER. UNABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN AFTER TURNING OFF AND ON. AFRAID THAT I WAS GOING TO LOSE AC IN THE 108F HEAT IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT TURN ON AGAIN SO I LEFT IT AT THAT UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVES.THE CAR HAD TO BE LEFT OVERNIGHT BECAUSE DEALERSHIP CLOSE SUNDAY. 8/2/2020: THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM SUPERSTITION HONDA REGARDING THE VEHICLE'S DIAGNOSIS. WAS INFORMED THAT THE DIAGNOSIS CODE OBSERVED WAS RELATED TO THE IGNITION START PUSH BUTTON THAT NEEDED REPLACING. I GAVE CONSENT TO THE SERVICE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION BUTTON. 8/3/2020: AFTER I WENT TO SUPERSTITION HONDA TO PICK UP THE CAR. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR ONTO HIGHWAY 60 AND GOT UP TO THE STATED SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH WHEN THE SAME SYMPTOMS APPEARED. VEHICLE STALLED AT SPEED, RPM RAPIDLY INCREASED TO ~5000 BEFORE COLLAPSING. I WAS IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AT THE AREA WHERE I CAME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY, THEREFORE I WAS STATIONARY PARTIALLY IN THE ACTIVE LANE.THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT GAVE ANY INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE HAPPENED OUT OF NO WHERE. AFTER RETURNING TO SUPERSTITION HONDA, I LEFT THE VEHICLE ON AND HAD IT DIAGNOSE BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF. WAS EVENTUALLY INFORMED THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND THAT THE METAL FRAGMENTS ALSO DAMAGED A PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
