2004 Honda CR-V complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE SRS INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE SEAT BELTS TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

DOOR ACTUATORS DO NOT ALWAYS WORK MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. *TR

UPDATE TO THE JULY 2013 AND DECEMBER 2013 VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS (NHTSA ID NUMBERS 10523929 AND 10555723 RESPECTIVELY) CONCERNING THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT COMING ON PERMANENTLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND RESULTING IN THE SHUT OFF OF THE SIDE AIRBAG. IN APRIL 2014, THE SRS LIGHT WITH THE DTC 15-2 CODE CAME ON PERMANENTLY AND WOULD NOT CLEAR WITH MY CODE READER. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALER ON 5/27/2014. THE MILEAGE WAS 121,133. THE HONDA TECH DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED PRINTED CIRCUIT IN THE DASHBOARD GAUGE CONTROL MODULE AFTER BEING UNABLE TO CLEAR THE SRS DIAGNOSTIC CODE. A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON 6/16/2014. I RETAINED THE OLD PART. SO FAR THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON PERMANENTLY AGAIN. UPDATED 08/18/14

POWER WINDOW WILL REVERSE DIRECTION. *TR

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAM START FAILING ON DRIVERS SIDE. BURNING OUT OFTEN - WHILE OTHER SIDE HEADLIGHT REMAINED STABLE. REPLACE HEADLIGHTS (BOTH SIDES) MANY TIMES AFTER THAT - ONLY TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE FAIL AFTER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD ALSO CHANGE TO VERY DIM WHILE OTHER SIDE REMAINED BRIGHT. PROBABLY SIMILAR TO A FLASHLIGHT, - NEEDING BATTERIES. WOULD ALWAYS FLICK BRIGHT LIGHTS ON FOR A WHILE, OR TUG ON HEADLIGHT WIRE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LIGHT WOULD CHANGE TO NORMAL BRIGHT COLOR AFTER THIS. WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF, - THE WHOLE SITUATION WOULD REPEAT ITSELF NEXT TIME CAR STARTED UP AND RAN AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON. NOTICED RADIO DISPLAY PANEL WOULD GO OUT ALSO, -- BLACK OUT, ONLY TO COME BACK ON LATER. THAT WOULD BE THE CLOCK AND STATION RADIO LCD PANEL DISPLAY. HAD CAR PROBLEM FIXED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AT LEAST TWICE AT PRIVATE MECHANICS, TWICE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP, - PLUS RECALLED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP IN 2012 FOR HEADLIGHT WIRING FAILURE AND PROBLEMS, PLUS BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP ONE MONTH LATER IN 2012 FOR SAME PROBLEM, PLUS BACK IN DEALERSHIP 6/9, 6/10, 6/11 2014 WITH SAME PROBLEM. AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER THE YEARS FOR VARIOUS FIXES, THIS TIME (2014) DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN HAS FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM - WIRING HARNESS ATTACHED TO ENGINE FIREWALL COMPARTMENT BAD. MELTING, CORROSIVE, AND WIRES WITH INSULATION MISSING IN HARNESS, - BUT ANOTHER 1850 DOLLARS WOULD COVER A NEW WIRE HARNESS PLUS INSTALL

SUBMISSION FROM CONSTITUENT RE 2004 HONDA CR-V REIMBURSEMENTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED BEFORE HE TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR, EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH CIRCUIT BOARD CONTACTS WERE BURNT. AMERICAN HONDA WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER RECALL 12V486000. *JB

2004 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE PAINT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHITE SPOTS STARTING APPEARING ON THE HOOD, THEN WINDOWS AND AROUND THE WINDOWS. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER HAD TO BE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY AREA AT OR NEAR 15 MPH. WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO A SPEED OF 30-35 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT VERY STIFF AND WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE CAR AT 30 MPH WITH CONSTANT BRAKING. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED NOT FAR FROM MY HOME, SO I PROCEEDED BACK HOME. THE CAR WOULD NOT DECELERATE. I HAVE A VERY LONG DRIVEWAY THAT I PULLED INTO, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURNED OFF THE KEY AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS THE ENGINE WOUND DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SENT A TOW VEHICLE TO PICK UP THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THEM. THEY SAID THEY DROVE THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON THE VEHICLE FINDING NO PROBLEMS AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS. THE INVOICE HOWEVER SHOWED IDENTICAL MILEAGE IN AND OUT OF THEIR FACILITY WHEN IT WAS PICKED UP JAN. 2, 2014. ON FEB. 11, 2014, I WAS IN TRAFFIC STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY RIGHT FOOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE REVVED, THE BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, DOING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNHEARD OF COMPLAINT OR OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, YEAR VEHICLE AS EVIDENCE BUY COMPLAINTS TO YOU. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED, PARKED AND POWERED ON, THE DOORS LOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS ACCELERATING AT A YIELD SIGN TO MERGE ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. I REALIZED THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING MORE THAN IT SHOULD BE AND WAS QUICKLY APPROACHING A VERY UNSAFE SPEED FOR THIS ROAD (APPROX 60-70 MPH). FELT THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSING ITSELF FURTHER AS I COMPLETELY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL. ACCELERATION CONTINUED, AND RPMS WERE APPROACHING THE RED ZONE OF 6000-7000. NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE EXCESSIVE REVVING AND RPMS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE SUDDENLY GOING TO 0. CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, BUT NOW I'M WORRIED THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IN LESS FORGIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

THE DEALER TECH SUGGESTED I CLEAR THE CODE WITH A CODE READER UNTIL IT WOULD NO LONGER CLEAR RATHER THAN BLINDLY REPLACING AT THIS TIME THE 4 WIRING HARNESSES TO LOCATE THE SHORT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE HEAD LIGHTS BURNED OUT PREMATURELY, AND HE HAD TO REPLACE THEM SEVERAL TIMES. UPDATED 01/29/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE SRS WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED.

THUNK NOISE FROM ENGINE ON PASSENGER SIDE. WORSE WITH TURNING, HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALER SAID "SOMETHING" WAS NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY, MUTTERING ABOUT ENGINE MOUNT. I WAS NOT GIVEN A SERVICE RECORD FOR THE REPAIR AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET ONE AFTER THE FACT. AT THE SAME TIME HEAR A GRINDING NOISE THAT WAS NOT RESOLVED. CR-V AT REPAIR SHOP NOW AND SAID IT LOOKS AS IF AIR COMPRESSOR, CLUTCH AND FANS FOR AC ARE NOT RIGHT. IF NOT RESOLVED WILL BLOW AND DAMAGE ENGINE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS AN ALARMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY MOVE TO INVESTIGATE OR INITIATE A RECALL? *JS

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA CR-V. I HAD MY AC ON AND IT BEGAN TO GRIND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MOTOR, BUT SOON REALIZED IT WAS MY AIR CONDITIONER UNIT. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. COST FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC - $106.00 COST TO FIX IT: $4000.00 DIAGNOSIS:A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED. ALL THE A/C PARTS ARE INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED WITH METAL FROM THE COMPRESSOR. NEEDS A/C KIT (C) AND CLUTCH AND COIL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING ONLINE AND MANY 2003 AND 2004 HONDA CRV'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL. I DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY TO SPEND, YET NEED AIR CONDITIONING. IS THIS FAIR FOR HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE AND COST THEIR FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS SO MUCH MONEY WHEN THIS PROBLEM DID EXIST IN THOSE YEAR MODELS? CAN YOU HELP? *TR

NOT AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONCERNED THAT THE SAME PART HAD TO BE REPLACED IN JULY 2011 AND AGAIN IN AUGUST 2013, AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DRIVER'S WINDOW BECOMES INOPERABLE. *TR

THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. THE FUSE FOR THE HORN HAS BEEN CHECKED, AND IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVER FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, SIMILAR TO HONDA'S SEATBELT COVERAGE. *TR

THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT STAYED ON WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE HONDA DEALER ON 2/18/2013. THE DTC CODE READ BY THE TECHNICIAN WAS DTC 15-2 (FAULTY SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR CIRCUIT). THE OPDS UNIT (OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM) WAS REPLACED ON 2/25/2013. PER THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 06-009, THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS OUTSIDE THE VIN NUMBERS FOR THE 2004 CR-V'S ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IN THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. ON 6/6/2013 THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT AGAIN STAYED ON WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND WAS RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALERS. THE MILEAGE WAS 110,242. THE DTC CODE DETECTED WAS THE SAME CODE AS THE PREVIOUS VISIT, DTC 15-2. THE OPDS SENSOR WAS DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED ON 6/28/2013. SINCE THE LAST VISIT TO THE HONDA DEALER, THE SRS LIGHT HAS NOT STAYED ON PERMANENTLY. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN 2004. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V260000 (AIR BAGS).

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE SUMMER WHEN I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL OF SMOKE IN MY VEHICLE. WITHIN 5 MINUTES MY AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THEY SHOWED ME WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE AIR THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSING UNIT OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT,THEY STATED THAT THE HOLE WAS BLOWN IN THE UNIT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AFTER THAT. THE MECHANICS THERE SAID THAT I MUST HAVE RUN INTO A PIECE OF METAL. THEN, OFF THE RECORD, THEY STATED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD THEIR AC'S GO OUT IN THE SAME WAY AND THAT HONDA WOULD PROBABLY BE RECALLING THEM. I RESEARCHED IT A LITTLE AT THE TIME AND GOT NO-WHERE WITH HONDA. HONDA STATED SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. AT THE TIME I GAVE UP...HOWEVER, WITH ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENTS THAT I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THAT ARE UN-CHARACTERISTIC AND UNTIMELY FOR A HONDA, AND WITH ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS BY BOTH HONDA AND NON-MECHANICS...I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENTIRE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WAS PUT IN SIDEWAYS BY DESIGN AND THAT DESIGN CAUSES MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE COMPONENTS. I ACTUALLY HAD ONE REPUTABLE GARAGE REFUSE TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS SO POORLY DESIGNED AND DIFFICULT TO WORK ON. SADLY, I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. AND I HAVE HAD 5 HONDA'S PRIOR TO THIS ONE, BOUGHT THIS ONE NEW, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY ENOUGH HAD HONDA OWNED UP TO THE PROBLEMS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD GOING 60 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD LIKE A EXPLOSION SOUND AND IT MADE US SCARED AND MADE US NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT WE HAVE PUT 3 COMPRESSORS TOTAL. 2 COMPRESSOR ALONE AND ANOTHER COMPRESSOR WITH THE WHOLE THINGS LIKE FANS, RADIATOR,FOR AIR CONDITIONER HOSE,ETC, EVERYTHING. VERY COSTLY AND REGARDLESS IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I THINK IF IT MAKES THAT EXPLOSION SOUND THAT STUFF COMES OUT TO THE AIR. HONDA ERRORS ARE COSTING THE CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIX AND REFUNDED IF POSSIBLE. I BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2006 AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE SO THAT HONDA FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS BLACK DEATH ISSUE THAT'S WHAT THE COMPLAINERS AND MECHANICS ARE CALLING IT. I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL WITH THIS ECONOMY ITS SUCH A HARDSHIP. AND LIVING IN FLORIDA THE HEAT IS UNBEARABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 55 TO 60 MPH ON THE FWY. I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN I SAW 2 CARS THAT WERE AT A DEAD STOP IN MY LANE WAY AHEAD OF ME, THEY JUST SAT THERE SO I HIT MY BRAKES HARDER & MY BRAKES LOCKED UP. MY CAR THEN WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND I TRIED MY BEST TO CONTROL IT. I DID MANAGE TO KEEP MY CAR FROM ROLLING. MY CAR WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH ON 2 WHEELS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I WAS ALSO SPINNING AND FISHTAILING AND THE BACK END OF MY CR-V (PASSENGER SIDE) HIT THE BACK END OF THE DRIVER SIDE OF A SEDAN IN THE #3 OR #4 LANE. THAT IMPACT SENT MY CR-V STRAIGHT INTO THE CEMENT CENTER DIVIDER OF THE FREEWAY. I HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER HEAD ON AND WENT UP AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO GO OVER IT ONTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT MY CR-V CAME BACK DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CENTER DIVIDER WITH THE SMASHED UP BUMPER FACING THE CENTER DIVIDER. MY CR-V HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER HARD ENOUGH FOR MY BODY TO BEND THE STEERING WHEEL BACK. NOT ONE OF MY 4 AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I HAD THIS CR-V IN THE HONDA DEALER 14 DAYS EARLIER TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG RECALL (I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK DETAILING THIS) I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INJURIES FROM HITTING AND BENDING THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO CHIPPED 3 TEETH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND THE BENT METAL AROUND IT. THE CHP OFFICERS, TOW TRUCK DRIVER, THE PERSON THAT I HIT AND THE BODY SHOP PERSONNEL ALL HAVE THE SAME QUESTION THAT DO; THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF, WHY DIDN'T IT AND WHY WAS I INJURED? I COULD

2004 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL NOTICES CONCERNING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT AND AIRBAG INFLATOR. *TGW THE CONSUMER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE TWO RECALLS NOTICES HE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. HOWEVER, WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK NEEDED AT NO CHARGE. THE DEALER STATED HONDA WOULD NOT ABSORB THE COST FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL, BUT THEY WOULD INSTEAD. THE AIR BAG RECALL, WAS PERFORMED BUT THE HEADLIGHTS CAMPAIGN WAS NOT. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE REASON FOR HONDA NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RECALLS, WAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT AND WAS DEEMED TOTALED, BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE WITH OEM HONDA PARTS AND REPAIRED IT BACK TO OEM SPECIFICATIONS.

THE AIR CONDITIONER DASH BOARD OF MY 2004 HONDA CRV STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY, WITH NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS BEFORE, THE AIR WAS ON AND TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND CONTROLS DIDN'T WORK COULDN'T LOWER THE LEVEL OF AIR EITHER, TRIED TO MOVED THE SWITCH BACK AND FORWARD UNTIL FINALLY STOPPED, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUE FOR MONTHS UNTIL THE POINT OF NOT BEEN ABLE TO TURN IT OFF; I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE SO MY A/C WILL TURN OFF. ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON ONE DAY AND WENT OFF IN A DAY OR TWO THEN HAPPENED AGAIN LIKE A MONTH LATER TURNED ON AND THEN OFF IN A COUPLE OF DAYS , THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS WAS HARD TO GET DIAGNOSE SINCE BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO CHECK LIGHT GOT OFF, IT GOT TO A POINT WHEN ENGINE LIGHT PERMANANTLY STAYED ON- I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THAT CHECKED AND GAVE A VERY GENERIC CODE THAT NOT SPECIFYING THE PROBLEM. *TR

2004 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE POWER WINDOWS. HE IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR 9.5 HOURS, AND WHEN HE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK, IT WAS AFTER DARK, SO HE DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING, THAT THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH UNIT WAS LOOSE, NOT SEALED PROPERLY AND WAS ELEVATED OUT OF ITS NORMAL HOUSING BY 3.8 INCH. IT WAS NOT SEALED WITHIN THE DOOR AS SECURELY AS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE SWITCH STILL APPEARED IMPROPERLY SEALED AND BULGED UP FROM THE DOOR HOUSING. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE RECALL REQUIRED THAT THE POWER MASTER SWITCH BOX BE STUFFED WITH INSULATION AND THEN THE POWER MASTER SWITCH UNIT NEEDED TO BE FORCED BACK INTO THE BOX TO PREVENT WASTER FROM LEAKING INSIDE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL WAS BECAUSE WATER COULD CAUSE THE WIRES OF THE POWER MASTER SWITCH UNIT TO SHORT-CIRCUIT POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FIRE AND HE FURTHER STATED THE POWER MASTER SWITCH UNIT WOULD NOT FIT AS IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED STUFFING THE POWER MASTER SWITCH UNIT HOUSING WITH INSULATION AND FORCING IT BACK INTO POSITION SO THAT IT WAS NOT SEALED AS SECURELY AS IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS NOT SAFE. THE SWITCH UNIT IS NOW MORE PRONE TO WATER EXPOSURE, SHORT-CIRCUIT AN FIRE. THE CONS

MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH ON DRIVER'S DOOR STARTED TO BURN AND I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE SWITCH. THE RESULT WAS A MELTED SWITCH. I HAVE A JAPAN MADE 2004 HONDA CR-V WITH VIN # STARTING WITH JHLRDXXXXXXXXXXXX. BY LOOKING AT THE STATEMENT FROM AMERICAN HONDA, MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL REGARDING THE POTENTIAL OF FIRE AT THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH. WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT IT'S NOT INCLUDED BY THE RECALL. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY SEAT BELTS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ARE WORKING AS DESIGNED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HONDA WOULD AGREE SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT RECOIL WHILE THEY ARE ON YOU DRIVING AND SEAT BELTS THAT KEEP YOU FROM BREATHING ARE DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. THEY ARE HOW THEY ARE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JANUARY 2004. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FRONT SEAT BETS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT RECOIL WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST ALWAYS AFTER RELEASING THEM TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THEY MIGHT NOT ENGAGE. SOMETIMES I CANNOT GET THEM TO ENGAGE BY MANUALLY PULLING ON THEM WHILE IN THE CAR. THE REAR SEAT BELTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY TOUCHY. NOT HAVING ANY KIDS AND RARELY HAVING BACK SEAT PASSENGERS THIS PROBLEM WASN'T NOTICED. RECENTLY I RODE IN THE BACK SEAT AND EVEN SLIGHTLY BREATHING WOULD MAKE THE BELTS RE-TRACK TO THE POINT YOU CAN NOT EVEN BREATHE OUT. AGAIN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. WROTE TO HONDA 9/28/2012 REQUESTING THEY REPLACE THE SEAT BELTS AND CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. *TR

WHILE DECELERATING ON A HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP, I HEARD A LARGE WHIRRING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEN A LARGE BANG FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY A THUMPING NOISE WHICH STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ENDED BOUNCING UNDERNEATH THE BODY OVER SEVERAL SECONDS. STOPPED THE CAR AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND ON THE ROAD, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY BELTS OR MATERIAL. TOOK THE CAR INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE AC WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE ESTIMATE TO FIX WAS OVER $4300 FOR THE COMPLETE SYSTEM WHICH OVER $3000 WAS IN PARTS. THEY INFORMED ME THE BANGING NOISE WAS THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH LOCKING THEN FLYING APART SENDING PIECES THROUGH OUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE REST OF THE ENGINE OR BODY FOR DAMAGE FROM THE FLYING DEBRIS OF THE BROKEN COMPRESSOR CLUTCH. THE DEALER INDICATED THE ALIN HONDA CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS NOT SETTLED AND COULD NOT GIVE ESTIMATES OF POSSIBLE PAYMENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AND REFERRED HIM TO THE NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AS A FINANCIAL ONE. IT SEEMS THAT BITS OR METAL GO THROUGH THE COMPRESSOR. AC WAS REPAIRED BY (BAILEY) DEALERSHIP UNDER/AT 24,000 MIL. NOW AT 76 K, AC WENT OUT AGAIN. DEALER (MOMENTUM) WANTED $4,010. TO REPAIR BUT HONDA OFFERED TO PAY 1/2 LEAVING MY SHARE TO BE $2,005. TOO MUCH. I HAD COMPRESSOR, ETC REPLACED ELSEWHERE FOR MUCH LESS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE COMPRESSOR. I WOULD LIKE THIS INFO. SENT TO THE HONDA MANUFACTURE.

MY AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER EXPLODED. I TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER AND AT FIRST HOT AIR WAS COMING THROUGH..THEN NOTHING. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN MANASSAS AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER EXPLODED AND THERE WERE SMALL METAL PIECES THROUGHOUT THE LINE. THEY WANTED OVER $4000 TO REPAIR IT. THEY LATER COUNTER OFFERED TO FIX IT FOR $2600. AFTER I DID RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CRV'S 2002-2004. I WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CONDENSER COULD LOCK UP AND CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARING A DAMAGE AND DEFECTIVE PIECE OF MACHINERY THAT WAS INSTALLED BY HONDA. THIS IS MY CAR THAT I NEED SO THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO SERVE MY COMMUNITY AS A VOLUNTEER AND AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING I HEARD A LOUD "METALIC" NOISE THAT SOUNDED AS THOUGH I HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING. AS I WAS SEEKING A PLACE TO TURN OFF OF THE ROAD, THE SOUND STOPPED FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN RETURNED. AT THAT TIME, I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND HAD DIFFICULTY PULLING OFF TO A SIDE ROAD THAT I FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET FROM WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, I NOTED THAT THERE WAS A CHUNK OF METAL PROTRUDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. WHEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAD EXPLODED! I UNDERSTAND WEARABLE PARTS BREAKING BUT EXPLODING! I WAS WITHIN A MILE OF APPROACHING AN ON-RAMP TO A 3-LANE HIGHWAY AND SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE! BEYOND THE INCONVENIENCE AND COST (APPROACHING $2,000), THIS TYPE OF CATASROPHIC INCIDENT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE EXPLOSION CAUSED ME TO LOSE FULL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND MOST DEFINITELY COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TT
