2006 Honda CR-V complaints

SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BACK ON A FREEWAY WHILE I WAS AT STOPPED POSITION DUE TO TRAFFIC JAMS. I WAS INJURED BY STEERING WHEEL BUT NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DOC TOLD ME I HAVE TO SUFFER FEW YEARS OR LONGER OR WHOLE LIFE. IF AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. *TR

1) APRIL 5, 2010: FORTY-FIVE MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, MY GAS TANK (WHICH WAS HALF FULL) DROPPED BELOW EMPTY IN JUST ONE SECOND. I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AT THIS POINT, I KNEW THAT I NEEDED TO PULL OVER AND GET HELP. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE PASSING ME ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OVER. I KNEW THAT IF SOMEONE WOULD NOT LET ME OVER INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, I WAS GOING TO DIE ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT WOULD CRASH INTO ME. FORTUNATELY, GOD CREATED AN OPENING. AT THIS OPENING, I MERGED ONTO AN EXIT RAMP FOR ME TO REALIZE I DON'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AT ALL. I WENT INTO PANIC AND FIGHT MODE. I WAS AN INCH AWAY FROM SLAMMING INTO A POLE AND TIPPING OVER A LITTLE CLIFF WHEN I SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK POSITION IN ORDER TO STOP MY CAR. 2) FAILURE: LOSS OF CONTROL, ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN, LOSS OF BRAKES ON THE HIGHWAY CONSEQUENCES: ALMOST LOST MY LIFE AND COULD'VE EASILY KILLED OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE PROBLEM OCCURRED, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ENGINE PROBLEM. 3) CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL SCANS DONE. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. 4) TOWED CAR FROM THAT DEALERSHIP TO MY ORIGINAL DEALER. THIS HONDA CR-V BOUGHT BRAND NEW IS CURRENTLY WITH MY ORIGINAL DEALER. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DEFECT. *TR

ON MARCH 16, 2010, THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROLS (LOCATED ON DRIVERS DOOR), BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. I COULD NO LONGER CLOSE THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW FROM THIS CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE THREE REMAINING POWER WINDOWS. THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DID WORK (TO OPEN AND CLOSE THAT WINDOW). ON MARCH 23, 2010, I TURNED ON THE IGNITION FOR MY CRV AS I GOT READY TO GO TO WORK. I NOTICED AN INTENSE BURNING SMELL (OF PLASTIC) AND WAS ABLE TO TRACE IT TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AND TRIED TO EXAMINE THE DOOR FURTHER. SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE OPENINGS (LIKE THE SPEAKER COVER) OF THE DOOR PANEL. I NOTICED THAT THE CONTROL SWITCH FOR THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW WAS NOW STICKING. I PULLED OUT THE POWER WINDOW FUSE FROM THE ENGINE FUSE BOX AND TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. UPON DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO EXAMINE THE WIRING INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALL LOOKED NORMAL (NO SIGN OF BURNS). THEY TOOK OUT THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH AND DISASSEMBLED THAT AND FOUND CLEAR BURN MARKS UNDERNEATH ONE SWITCH AND ON THE MOTHERBOARD ATTACHED TO IT. THEY WILL BE INSTALLING A BRAND NEW SWITCH TOMORROW THAT WAS ORDERED FROM HONDA. UNTIL THE SWITCH IS REPLACED, I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE POWER LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE, OPENING OR CLOSING THE WINDOWS, OR ADJUSTING THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SWITCH AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW OF THE DAMAGE. WHI

WE EXPERIENCE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH OUR HONDA CRV 2006. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND CAN HAPPEN AT VARYING SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY OR STREETS. WE HAVE NO FLOOR MATS BY THE WAY. WHEN WE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY KEEP TELLING US THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP US. "SINCE EVERYTHING IS COMPUTERIZED THE CAR MUST BE DOING THE ACTUAL SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN YOU BRING IT IN," WE WERE TOLD. WE FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND FELT IT WISE TO REPORT TO YOU. HOW CAN WE GET HELP? NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER CENTER SAID THE SAME THING TO US. *TR

MY SEAT BELTS DON'T RETRACT PROPERLY ON MY HONDA CRV. *TR

ON MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2010, MY 2006 HONDA CRV WAS PARKED IN A LOT, TURNED OFF, FOR AT LEAST 10 MIN. WHILE I SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT MAKING FOLLOW-UP SALES CALLS. A WHITE CLOUD OF SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH SPECIFICALLY COMING FROM THE REAR LEFT BUTTON. IT SMELLED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. WITHIN 5 SECONDS, FLAMES STARTED COMING OUT OF THE BUTTON. AFRAID, I GRABBED MY BOTTLE OF WATER, POURING HALF OF IT ON THE FLAMES. THE FLAMES ACTUALLY STOPPED, THE SMOKE CONTINUED. I POURED THE REST OF THE BOTTLE ON IT AND FINALLY THE SMOKE SUBSIDED. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND LATE. I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY HUSBAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE SUGGESTED I STOP AT OUR NEARBY SERVICE STATION AND ASK WHAT THEY THOUGHT. THE NEXT DAY I DID JUST THAT. TUESDAY, JANUARY 26 I PULLED INTO THAT SAME STATION, WHERE I HAVE MOST OF MY VEHICLE SERVICE WORK DONE. THEY REMOVED THE WHOLE CONTROL PANEL TO FIND IT HAD ACTUALLY MELTED AND BURN MARKS REMAINED ON THE FABRIC COVERING THE DOOR. I THEN HEADED FOR THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. WITH THE CONTROL PANEL IN HAND, I SHOWED AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM. I WAS THEN TOLD THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A DAY OR TWO FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE SWITCH, WHICH COST ME $187.00. THEY GAVE ME A FREE LOANER CAR AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THURSDAY JANUARY 28, I PICKED UP MY CAR, PAID THE BILL AND LEFT. AS I WAS DRIVING ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, LISTENING TO 1210 RADIO, WHERE THEY SPO

I REAR-ENDED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I SAW IT AND USED THE BRAKE (FULL STRENGTH) FROM A REASONABLE DISTANCE. THE BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING EFFECTIVELY. DAMAGED BODY PARTS WERE REPLACED IN MAY. I HAD A HONDA DEALER TO CHECK MY BRAKE IN THE ANNUAL INSPECTION, BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE. *TR

I PARKED IN MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE SPOT JUST AS I NORMALLY DO. I PULLED IN THE SPOT GOING VERY SLOWLY, AND EVEN THOUGH I AM COMPLETELY CONVINCED THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, ONCE THE CAR WAS IN THE SPOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR REASON SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BEAM THAT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY PARKING SPOT. I AM SURE THERE WAS NOTHING I DID TO CAUSE THIS. THE WEATHER WAS VERY COLD THAT DAY, AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NUMEROUS OTHER DAYS I HAVE PARKED IN THE SAME PARKING GARAGE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR DID NOT SKID FORWARD, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ICE, AND I HAD A VERY DISTINCT SENSATION OF THE CAR ENGINE REVVING UP ON ITS OWN WHEN IT ACCELERATED. I WAS BRUISED WHERE THE SEAT BELT WAS POSITIONED ACROSS MY CHEST, BUT OTHERWISE I WAS OKAY. THE CAR SUSTAINED APPROXIMATELY $8,000 IN DAMAGES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN 2007. SHE STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AND AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL; ALTHOUGH, HER FOOT REMAINED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CRASH CAUSED SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE AND THERE WAS SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMOKE WAS DUE TO RADIATOR DAMAGE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST COLLISION SHOP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 23,000.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB AS MANY AS 6 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006. THE LAST TIME WAS 11-25-09, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OPTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHORT LIFESPAN OF THE BULBS. *TR

REPLACEMENT OF HEAD LIGHTS ON 2006 HONDA CR-V AFTER RAIN STORMS. THREE HEADLIGHTS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. *TR

SIDE IMPACT MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2009 AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO CONCRETE BARRIER AND DRIVER HAD TO BE EXTRICATED FROM VEHICLE. INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED BY DRIVER REQUIRING HOSPITAL STAY FOR OBSERVATION. *TR

2006 HONDA CR-V EXTERIOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER SAFETY PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE RECENTLY REQUIRED THE SPARE TIRE BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE A ROAD HAZARD DAMAGED TIRE. ON REMOVING THE SPARE TIRE COVER, IT WAS NOTICED THAT ONLY TWO OF THE THREE TIRE LUGS THAT SUPPORT THE TIRE WERE IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH THREE TIRE LUGS FOR THE SPARE, AS THIS WAS NOTICED WHEN A DIFFERENT SPARE TIRE COVER WAS INSTALLED WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP. THE DAMAGED TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TIRE AND THE SERVICEMAN WENT TO PLACE THIS NEW TIRE ON THE EXTERIOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER. HE SHEARED OFF ONE MORE OF THE LUGS AND STATED THAT HE HAD NOT APPLIED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND LUG NOW MISSING AND THAT THE SPARE TIRE SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE EXTERIOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER WITH ONLY A SINGLE LUG TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE SPARE TIRE. THE SPARE TIRE WAS PLACED IN THE INTERIOR REAR STORAGE AREA. I WAS GIVEN THE SHEARED OFF LUG, WHICH I STILL HAVE IN MY POSSESSION, SHOULD IT BE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE IF STRUCTURAL FAILURE WAS THE RESULT BY EXAMINATION OF A METALLURGIST. CONTACTING THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED (HONDA OF BOWIE, MD), THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AT NO COST TO ME, AS A LATENT DEFECT, AS THEY STATED IT WAS BEYOND THE NORMAL WARRANTY PERIOD. THEY QUESTIONED WHETHER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANUAL. I RESPONDED THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER LUGS ARE NOT A SERVIC

DEALER NOTICED A NOISE AND REPORTED A DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM. DRAINED AND REFILLED DUAL PUMP FLUID, BURNISH DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCHES AND DRAIN AND REFILL FLUID AGAIN AT A COST OF $171.70. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CR-V'S THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE SENT TO OWNERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN SLOW TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE POLICE AND AMBULANCE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,000.

BOUGHT A 2006 CRV IN APROX BEGINNING OF JUNE, AFTER ONLY 10,000 MILES WE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT FAILED, THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER SNAPPED, WENT THROUGH 3 TIRES AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING FUNNY NOISES AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED FLUID REPLACEMENT. AFTER 10,000 MORE MILES THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THEY SAID WE NEED 2 MORE NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT. ONCE THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS REPLACED THE NOISE AND THE PULLING STOPS, BUT ONLY AFTER 10,000 MILES IT COMES BACK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON PROBLEMS WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL BUT IT STARTED A COUPLE OF 1000 CARS AFTER OURS, SO WE CAN NOT HAVE OURS FIXED, AND TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD HONDA JUST CHANGED THE MAINTENANCE ON IT TO EVERY 15,000 MILES BUT THE MANUAL SAYS IT ONLY NEEDS IT EVERY 60,000 MILES. *TR

THE AC COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP ON 9/13/08. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 44300 MILES. THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE WITHOUT THE AC. THE DEALER QUOTED $3000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR BECAUSE THE FAILURE OF THE COMPRESSOR CREATED OTHER PROBLEMS AND ALL THE LINES HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE AN EXTENDED 72 MONTH/72K MILE WARRANTY WHICH SHOULD COVER ALL BUT $100 DEDUCTIBLE. AN ADJUSTOR MUST FIRST APPROVE THE REPAIRS, SO IT WILL BE SEVERAL DAYS BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY. *TR

POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, WIRES LEADING TO 12 VOLT POWER SUPPLY IN DASH AREA WERE DARKENED, CAUSED SHORT THAT LEFT RADIO AND GEAR SHIFT ENERGIZED AT ALL TIMES. BATTERY WAS DRAINED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CR-V 2 YEARS AGO. MY TRADE IN VEHICLE WAS A 1997 HONDA CR-V. SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT, AND SOMETIMES THE DOME LIGHT INSIDE THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BLOWING OUT ON AVERAGE, EVERY TWO MONTHS. DURING THE LAST YEAR OR 2 BEFORE TRADING THE 1997 CR-V, I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING ON THAT VEHICLE ALSO. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HENDRICKS HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC. I HAVE MOST OF MY SERVICE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, DONE AT THAT DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THAT THEY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I VISITED SUPERIOR HONDA RECENTLY IN ORANGEBURG SOUTH CAROLINA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER THERE TOLD ME THAT IN RECENT MONTHS, HE WAS AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE CR-V OWNER AND SEVERAL OWNERS OF CIVICS WHO HAVE COME BACK AND FORTH TO THEIR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT. HENDRICKS HONDA ADVISED AGAINST CONTACTING THE CORPORATION AND SAID IT WOULD LIKELY REFER THE MATTER BACK TO THEM. I COMMUTE TO WORK 120 MILES ROUND TRIP DAILY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS AND HIGHWAY PATROLMEN REGARDING ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS BEING OUT. I NOW CARRY COPIES OF THE SERVICE REQUESTS SHOWING THAT I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DURING MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOW THESE TO THE OFFICE AS PROOF T

TODAY I HAD A 4TH VALVE STEM FAILURE THAT HAS OCCURRED ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV THAT I PURCHASED USED ON AUGUST 3, 2007. THE 1ST VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON AUGUST 3, 2007 ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE. THE 2ND VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 10,2007 ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. THE 3RD VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2008 ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AGAIN. THE 4TH VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON JUNE 18, 2008 ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I FOUND OUT TODAY THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF SOME VALVE STEMS SURE TO FAILURE. I DO NOT KNOW THE ODDS OF ONE CAR HAVING FOUR VALVE STEM FAILURES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR, BUT I CAM GUESS THAT THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON UNEVEN ASPHALT, THE VEHICLE PULLS AND SHIFTS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AS IF IT WILL TOPPLE OVER. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON APRIL 10, 2008 AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY FAILURES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,000. UPDATED 04/25/08 *BF

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS A LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON TELLING ME THAT THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN. IT IS NOT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS REALLY A SAFETY AND SECURITY PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON, THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED TWICE , THE LAST TIME BEING NOV. 15TH 2007. I AM READY TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE NOW IT COMES ON AND PRETTY MUCH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE STRUCK A CURB. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED OR INSPECTED BY A DEALER. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 43,000.

2006 HONDA CRV WITH CRACKED TIRE RIM. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE TIRE WOULD NOT HOLD AIR. WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE WELD WAS CRACKED CAUSING AN AIR LEAK AND THAT THIS IS A FAMILIAR PROBLEM ON THAT VEHICLE. *KB

CONSUMER REQUEST ABOUT INFO FOR A 2006 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING INCORRECT INFORMATION IN THE HONDA CRV OWNERS MANUAL. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS REFERRING TO THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED. *JB

THE SEAT BELT LOCKED IN AN OPEN POSITION UPON IMPACT, CAUSING MY FATHER INJURY TO HIS CHEST AS HE WAS IMPACTED UPON THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY; THE FORCEFUL COLLISION CAUSED THE FRAME IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. THIS VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I ASKED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS LOCATED AT THREE (3) DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. THEY IGNORED MY REQUEST. THE COMPLAINT NUMBER THAT I WAS ASSIGNED BY AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION IS #N012007-07-2300426. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LEVER DOES NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION DURING LANE CHANGES - NO LOUD ALARM ALERT TO DRIVER THAT DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL IS CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING. MANY OTHER MAKES AND MODELS PRODUCE A LOUD AUDIBLE TONE TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF SUCH DANGEROUS CONDITIONS - BUT THE HONDA DOES NOT. *TR

I AM NOT SURE IF YOU CAN HELP ME. HOWEVER, MY COMPLAINT IS WITH DESERT HONDA OF LAS VEGAS, NV (702) 369-3099. I TOOK MY 2006 HONDA CRV FOR MAJOR SERVICE, AND THEY DID NOT PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE LEFT LUG NUTS ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS OVERSIGHT IN TIME BEFORE I DROVE THE CAR ANY DISTANCE. HOWEVER, THIS WAS A POTENTIALLY FATAL MISTAKE THAT THEY SHRUGGED OFF, AND I'M SURE HAVE FORGOTTEN BY NOW. *JB

THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT ON MY 06 HONDA CRV WILL NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT, IT WAS RE-ALIGNED SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY AS A NEW VEHICLE, AND HAS BEEN DONE AGAIN ON 2-3 OCCASIONS. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE AT CHAPMAN HONDA IN TUCSON THAT THE CRV IN QUESTION HAS A PROBLEM WITH PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHICH MINE DOES. HE ADVISED ME THAT HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON THE ISSUE BUT COULD OFFER NO FURTHER INFO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BEAT DID NOT LOCK. AS A RESULT, HER KNEES STRUCK THE DASHBOARD AND WERE BRUISED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 23,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRIDGESTONE DESSERT DUELER TIRE BLEW OUT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. HE NOTICED THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 24,581.

VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN ALIGNED THREE TIMES. DEALER SAYS ALL AND DO IT. CANNOT BE FIXED. *TR

WATER PUMP FAILURE, ASKED ON THREE OCCASIONS WHILE IN THE REPAIR SHOP ABOUT A NOISE IN THE ENGINE, IT WAS IGNORED OR I WAS TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. MY CAR THEN OVERHEATED NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE IT STALLED. I HAD AN EXTENSIVE REPAIR BILL NEARLY $1000.00. *TR

SEAT BELT FAILS TO RETRACT APP 25 % OF THE TIME 2006 HONDA CRV 2 WHEEL DRIVE. *JB

(1) EVENT LEADING TO THE FAILURE I WAS IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND MY DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DISPITE THE DIRECT CONTACT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, WHICH BOLTED THE DOOR PERMANTLY SHUT. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV, BOUGHT NEW FROM LEESBURG HONDA. ON FEB 18,2007 I LEFT CAR IN THEIR REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. FEB 20 I PICKED UP CAR, NO REPAIR MADE. THEY CLAIM IT NEEDS A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION, THAT NONE ARE AVAILABLE FOR NOW, AND THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ITEM & CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN AND WAS GIVEN CASE # N012007-02-2100228. FROM LOCAL AND NATIONAL HONDA I STILL DO NOT HAVE A DATE FOR REPAIR OR A DECISION AS TO WHY IT WAS TURNED DOWN FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. *JB

THE FRONT ACC ADAPTOR IN MY 2006 CR-V CONSTANTLY BLEW FUSES. I REQUESTED SERVICE ON MY CAR THREE TIMES, AND ALL THREE TIMES THE FUSES WERE ONLY REPLACED. NO ONE SEEMED TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE SURGE. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR BACK AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2006 AND TOLD THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM, NOT JUST REPLACE THE FUSE. THE HOUSING OF THE ACC ADAPTOR HAD FAULTY CONNECTIONS THAT CAUSED BOTH CONTACTS TO TOUCH AND THUS BLOW THE FUSES. THE MANAGER OF THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT GAVE ME A PRINTOUT EXPLAINING THAT THE COMPANY HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT SINCE MARCH OF 2006 BUT DID NOT WISH TO DO A RECALL DUE TO THE LIMITED AFFECT THE SURGES HAD ON THE OPERATION OF THE CAR OVERALL. I PERSONALLY TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY WITH MY JOB AND USE MY ACC ADAPTOR DAILY. THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT CAUSED ME TO BE UNABLE TO CHARGE MY PHONE WHILE AWAY FROM MY HOME ON BUSINESS. THE PHONE DIED AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT A WAY TO CONTACT ANYONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR HONDA TO PUBLISH THIS DEFECT IN THE ACC ADAPTOR HOUSING TO ALL OWNERS OF 2006 CR-VS. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2006 CRV EX IN OCTOBER 2006, NOTICEDA NOISE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT IT AND WOULD FIX IT. AFTER 3 ADDITIONAL VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPT. WHERE THEY SWITCHED WHEELS, DID AN ALIGNMENT AND STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING WHEEL (WHEEL WAS NEVER CROOKED) THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT NOISE AND AWKWARD DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THE VEHICLE ALSO PULLS DRASTICALLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATED AND IS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THIS IS HOW THEY THINK THEY WILL RETAIN THEIR REPUTATION, THEY ARE MISTAKEN. I KNOW I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER, AND AM STILL TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CR-V SE ON JANUARY 12, 2006. OUR MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE SEVERELY PULLS TO THE RIGHT (PTTR). IF I LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE WILL CROSS OVER INTO THE ADJACENT LANE IN ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. THE PULL IS MUCH WORSE ON SECONDARY ROADS THAT HAVE A CROWN. IN ADDITION, THE PTTR IS INCREASED BY EVEN MODERATE ACCELERATION. THIS CONDITION WAS APPARENT THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, WE WERE ASSURED THAT AN ALIGNMENT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. THIS INCLUDED, AN ALIGNMENT, A 5 DAY PERIOD WHERE A HONDA TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE WAS CALLED IN TO OVERSEE THE REPAIRS, AND LASTLY A 4 DAY DEALER VISIT WITH REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS FROM HONDA TECHNICAL. THE FINAL OUTCOME IS THAT HONDA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PTTR PROBLEM. WE FEEL THAT THE PTTR PROBLEM IS SEVERE AND IT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH THE BBB THAT REQUESTS HONDA TO EITHER REPLACE OR REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS DENIED THE REQUEST. AN ARBITRATION HEARING IS PENDING. *NM

WE HAD A 2006 HONDA CRV. IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD WE EXPERIENCED 2 REAR WHEEL BLOW OUTS. THE FIRST OCCURRED ON A CITY ROAD AFTER DRIVING ON THE TOLL WAY. IT WAS A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. THE SECOND OCCURRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLL WAY. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED A LEFT REAR TIRE BLOW OUT. IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL, HIT A SEMI, AND ROLL OVER SEVERAL TIMES. MY WIFE SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURIES AND IS STILL UNABLE TO BE OUT OF BED FOR MORE THAN A SHORT TIME. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AS OF THIS TIME, NO RESULTS ARE IN AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS. *JB

2006 HONDA CRV CAME WITH A BRITISH DASHBOARD, CANNOT READ INSTRUMENT PANEL. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ONLY COME ON WHEN ITS DARK BUT TURN OFF WITH ANY KIND OF LIGHT. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE ALTERED TO US SPECIFICATIONS. *JB

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN, AND STARTER AROUND THE OTHER VEHICLE, WHEN I HAD COMPLETED MY PASSING, I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, BUT IT DID NOT RESPOND. I CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED AT FULL THROTTLE. AFTER JAMMING DOWN HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR IT RELEASE THE THROTTLE BACK TO THE IDLE POSITION. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *NM

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA 2006 CRV THIS SPRING, AND HAVE ALREADY HAD TWO TIRES GO BAD. THE FIRST TIRE WENT FLAT IN MAY ON MOTHER'S DAY. A SECOND, DIFFERENT TIRE TOTALLY BLEW OUT TODAY AS I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 65. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE TIRES. *NM

I PURCHASED A HONDA CRV LX (4WD) IN NOV'06 FROM FAIRFAX HONDA, VA. THE CAR HAD ~ 4400 MILES ON IT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. WE WERE DRIVING NEAR WHEELING, WV RETURNING BACK TO FAIRFAX, VA. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AS WE WERE NEGOTIATING A MILD CURVE AND SLOPE. JUST OVER THE TOP OF THE SLOPE, THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOPPED. THE WHOLE THING FROM SLOW-DOWN TO ABRUPT HALT WAS 5-10 SECONDS. INITIALLY I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT TO PUT IT ON NEUTRAL TO GET MOVE IT TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER THIS IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY FRUSTRATING TIME WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN AND HAS TO BE REPLACED (STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHAT CAUSED IT). BEING A NEW CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, I ASKED AMERICAN HONDA AND THE DEALER FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE CASE OFFICER NEVER CALLED ME INSPITE OF DOZENS OF CALLS (FINALLY REACHED HIM ON THURS). HE ACTUALLY GOT AGGRESSIVE WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE CAR REPLACEMENT. HE SAID THAT MY REQUEST WOULD NEVER GET APPROVED AND IS A WASTE OF TIME. HE EVEN EXPLICITLY SAID THAT HE WAS GIVING ME AN "ULTIMATUM" - "I'LL GIVE A NEW ENGINE. THEN TAKE THE 7-YR EXTENDED WARRANTY I AM GIVING NOW, OR ELSE I WILL GIVE YOU NOTHING". WHEN I SHOT BACK ASKING IF HE WAS THREATENING ME, HE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD STILL GIVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN IF THE NEW CAR REQUEST WAS DENIED IN A VERY ANGRY TONE AND ENDED THE CONVERSATION. THE CASE NUMBER IS [XXX

NON-DRIVING FAILURE: AT NIGHT, WHEN OPENING CAR THE DOOR, METER NEEDLES KEEP SHAKING REGARDLESS IF KEY IS IN OR OUT. IN-DRIVING FAILURE: FOR EACH DAY FIRST DRIVING, ALL METER NEEDLES SUDDENLY POINT AT 0-POSITION, AND BRAKE & MAINTENANCE LIGHT ON AND DISPLAY KEEPS FLASHING, REGARDLESS IF CAR IS MOVING OR AT A STOP, OR FUEL TANK IS FULL. SUCH PROBLEM KEEPS SEVERAL MINUTES AND AUTOMATICALLY GOES AWAY. THE FAILURE IS REPEATED FOR THE FIRST DRIVING OF EACH DRIVING DAY. DEALER SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW THE ROOT CAUSE BUT SAW ONE SIMILAR CASE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND AFTER REPLACING THE ENTIRE METER PANEL THE CUSTOMER NEVER CAME BACK. DEALER MENTIONED THAT EARLY BUILD OF 2006 HONDA CR-VS HAVE SUCH PROBLEM AND AMERICAN HONDA ALREADY KNEW THE PROBLEM. BUT AMERICAN HONDA CLAIMED TO THE CUSTOMER THAT IT DOES NOT KNOW SUCH FAILURE. THOUGH NOT KNOWING THE ROOT CAUSE, AMERICAN HONDA INSTRUCTED DEALER TO REPLACE ENTIRE METER PANEL, THE CAR IS STILL IN REPAIR AS OF 6/22/2006. WE FOUND ODI ID #10156440 HAS SIMILARITY. *JB

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV EX LAST APRIL 22, 2006. I NOTICED LAST MAY 8, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THERE WAS A CONTINOUS WARNING SIGN THAT THE HATCH GLASS WAS OPENED. I STOPPED AND CHECKED BUT IT WAS CLOSED. I MADE SURE THAT IT WAS CLOSED BUT THE WARNING SIGN NEVER STOP. THEN, LAST MAY 13, MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE SAME TIME AND WHEN WE WERE AT THE PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO LOCK IT USING THE REMOTE CONTROL, IT DIDN'T LOCK ANYMORE. WE DOUBLE CHECKED ALL THE DOORS AND CLOSED THEM ONE BY ONE, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED THE SAME. ON THAT SAME DAY, WE DECIDED TO BRING THE CAR TO COLONIAL HONDA (WHERE WE PURCHASED) AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO BRING IT DURING WEEKDAYS. MAY 15, I DROVE THE CAR TO COLONIAL HONDA AND HAD THEIR SERVICE DEPT TO CHECK. WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME THAT MY EXPECTATION TO THE BRAND NEW CAR IS SO HIGH AND ITS ONLY NATURAL TO ENCOUNTER PROBLEM WITH BRAND NEW CAR. THATS THE POINT I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR TO RELEASE ME FROM ANY PROBLEM AND THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD. THEY EVEN GAVE US A SERVICE SMALL MANUAL CAR, THAT MAKES ME FEEL MORE DISAPPOINTED TO THE WHOLE THING. THEY WERE TELLING ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS A VERY SMALL PROBLEM BUT THE BOTTOM LINE, ITS STILL A PROBLEM AND THEY DONT HAVE ANY CONTROL OF ANY SLIGHT PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY MADE BY MAN. THATS WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME. A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD BE TESTED BY QUALITY CONTROL BEFORE RELEASE TO THE MARKET? I RECEIVED A VERY POOR SERVICE FROM T

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. FROM THE FIRST MORNING AFTER I PURCHASED VEHICLE UNTIL WARMER WEATHER CAME. IN COLD WEATHER, BELOW 34 DEGREES, EVEN BEFORE KEY IS PLACED IN IGNITION, THE SPEEDOMETER IS TWITCHING SHOWING ELECTRICAL CURRENT GOING THROUGH. ONCE KEY IS PLACED IN IGNITION, FOR THE FIRST 3-8 MINUTES, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. TRIP METER IS RESET, INSIDE DASHBOARD PANEL HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. DEALER HAS SO FAR REPLACED THE FUSE BOX AND THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TO TAKE OVER.*JB

I HAD DRIVEN MY CARPOOL FEWER THAN FIVE MILES IN MY 2006 HONDA CRV (WITH FEWER THAN 3,000 MILES ON IT) WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND FELT THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKE. WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE BUT I DID NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO WORK SO I TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO THE CARPOOL PICK UP SITE. AFTER WORK I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND LEFT IT FOR REPAIR. THE SERVICE WRITER FOR THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. THE WHOLE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM HAD SELF-DESTRUCTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CHARGES FOR THIS REPAIR WERE NOT GOING TO BE PAID BY HONDA. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AT NORTH AMERICAN HONDA AND FILED A COMPLAINT. I WAS GIVEN CASE # [XXX]. THE INVESTIGATOR'S NAME IS [XXX]@ [XXX]. I SPOKE TO [XXX] THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I EXPLAINED THE CASE TO [XXX] HE OFFERED TO SPLIT THE COST 50/50. I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS OFFER AND HE SAID HE WOULD RE-CONTACT THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD HIM I WOULD BE CONTACTING SOMEONE HIGHER UP AS WELL. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
