2007 Honda CR-V complaints

NOISE IN REAR OF CAR THE DEALERSHIP DID A BRAKE INSPECTION AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY REAR BRAKE PADS ARE STUCK IN THE MOUNTS AND ARE SCORING REAR ROTORS. THEY SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF REAR BRAKES CLEAN AND LUBE MOUNTS AND SLIDES ON CALIPERS. THIS HAPPENED AT 44,400 MILES. *TR

THIS IS A 2007 HONDA CRV_EX-L. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE CRV. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT BUT IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. STARTED HAVE A NOISE PROBLEM WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THE DIFFERENTIAL LUBRICANT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $125. DEALER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH CAR HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY, BECAUSE IT WAS PAST 36 MONTH. SERVICE REP SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE ADVISORY POSTED INTERNALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SAID THE LUBRICANT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES, EVEN THOUGHT THE MANUAL SAY 60,000. NO NOTIFICATION WAS SENT TO OWNERS OF THIS ADVISORY. HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AND SERVICE REP DID NOT KNOW. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV , ALL DOOR LOCKS FAILED 6 MONTHS AFTER EXPIRATION OF 3 YEAR WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CRV, 45000 MILES ON IT, AND I EXPERIENCED A MOANING OR GROANING COMES FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHEN MAKING A SHARP OR TIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

THE SIDE VISIBILITY ON MY 2007 HONDA CRV IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OF THE NUMEROUS VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS. REGARDLESS OF HOW I SET THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, I HAVE NEARLY CAUSED COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THE 'BLIND SPOT.' BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF THIS DESIGN DEFICIENCY, I AM AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE WHEN CHANGING LANES, I USE MY SIGNAL, LOOK IN THE MIRROR, TURN MY HEAD AND THEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AGAIN. NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE OTHER VEHICLES. IF THERE IS SOME DEVICE THAT CAN BE ADDED TO THE CAR I WOULD SUGGEST DOING SO. *TR

1. STARTED TO HEAR METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. 2. THE FAILURE WAS A STUCK BRAKE CALIPER CAUSING BRAKE PADS TO WEAR DOWN TO METAL. 3. RESURFACED ROTORS, REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND UNSTUCK CALIPER. *TR

WE ARE A TWO CAR OWNERSHIP FAMILY AND ONE OF THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 HONDA CRV AND AROUND 40,000 MILES THE CAR BEGAN VIBRATING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 38 TO 43 MPH. CONTACTED MY HONDA DEALER, LEE HONDA, AND THEY ARE VEHEMENT IN STATING THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH CRV AND THE VIBRATION MAYBE DUE TO DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDING FLUSHING. ALSO DEALER STATED IT MAY BE DUE TO FRONT-END ALIGNMENT. NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED, FRONT-END ALIGNMENT DONE AND WHAT WAS AN INFREQUENT OCCURRENCE IS NOT AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. HONDA DEALER IS STILL ADAMANT IT MAYBE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDING FLUSHING. MY PERSONAL MECHANIC HAS FOUND THE BULLETIN THAT REFERENCES THE NEED TO FLUSH THE DIFFERENTIAL, POSSIBLY TWICE. WHY ARE THEY SIMPLY NOT UPFRONT WITH THEIR PROBLEM AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE. AFTER SEVERAL UNSATISFIED CONVERSATION WITH THE DEALERSHIP,I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC DO THE WORK ON 9/1/2010 AND LEAVE THE HONDA DEALER CHATTING ABOUT "IT'S NOT A HONDA ISSUE" TO HIMSELF. WHAT POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP HONDA ADVERTISES THE DEALERSHIP BY NOT BEING HONEST ABOUT IT'S PROBLEM. IT WILL BE MY LAST HONDA. I AM CURRENTLY SEEKING TO TRADE OUR OTHER VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT BE HONDA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THEN 6 MONTHS, WE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DIFFERENTIAL PER HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A BULLETIN ABOUT THE 2007 DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM AND IT WASN'T UNTIL OUR THIRD VISIT TO DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS HONDA BULLETIN, NOT A RECALL. COULD THESE T

2007 HONDA CRV REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE BEGAN AT ABOUT30,000 MILES. I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ. THEY TOLD ME THE NOISE WAS DUE TO WEAR OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, THAT IT HAD TO BE CHANGED WHENEVER THE NOISE APPEARED, OR EVERY 20,000 MILES. THEY REPLACED THE FLUID FREE OF CHARGE, AND BURNISHED THE BEARINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE IN THE FUTURE. I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT IT DID NOT DO MECHANICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, NOR WOULD IT IN THE FUTURE. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE SERVICE MANUAL REGARDING THIS SERVICE CHANGE REQUIREMENT. I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CRV OWNERS ON WEBSITES AND BLOGS. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REFERENCE TO "INFERIOR SUBGRADE" REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID USE BY HONDA ON THE SAME VEHICLES. *TR

THE ICONS ON THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTONS OF THE KEY/TRANSMITTER WEAR OFF PREMATURELY. MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO REMOTELY OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOORS. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER CLAIM THE KEY/TRANSMITTER ARE NOT COVERED BY THE 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER BUT ONLY HOT AIR WOULD BLOW OUT OF THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPRESSOR WITHIN THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAITED FOR MORE THAN A MONTH FOR THE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA CRV WITH 55K MILES ON IT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER ND THEY CHARGED US $99 TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THE REPORT STATED THAT A STONE HAD HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEEK IN THE COOLANT. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR TO BE AT LEAST $850 DOLLARS ALTHOUGH, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE ACTUAL REPAIR COST TILL THEY GOT INTO THE REPAIR. WHEN THE AC STOPPED WORKING, NO POSSIBILITY IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ROCK. WE CHECKED ONLINE ONLY TO SEE THIS PROBLEM EXISTS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW WITH NO RECALL. *TR

2007 HONDA CR-V 4WD, REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE. IT STARTS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING AT SLOW SHARP TURN. I THOUGHT ALL 4WD DRIVE ARE THE SAME. THE DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE NEVER MENTIONED ANY PROBLEM WHEN WE DID REGULAR SERVICE UNTIL IT RAN OUT OF THE WARRANTY. NOW THEY "NOTICED" THE NOISE AND ADVISED US TO CHANGE THE FLUID. I SUSPECTED IF THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM SINCE I STARTED NOTICING IT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I FOUND IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM. *TR

JULY 5,2010,PARKED OUR 2007 HONDA CRV(VIN:[XXX] );THE PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK...WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON RELEASE...WOULD NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGER TO PHYSICALLY RELEASE THE LOCK NOR ALLOW THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR...ALSO WOULD NOT ALLOW THE REAR HATCH TO OPEN...TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS IDENTIFIED AS A LATCH FAILURE IN PASSENGER DOOR...DEALER FIXED FOR $200...MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE PASSENGER WAS LOCKED INSIDE AND COULD NOT EXIT BUT BY CRAWLING OVER CONSOLE AND OUT DRIVER DOOR...NO CAR DOOR SHOULD LOCK A PASSENGER PERMANENTLY INSIDE...HAD THIS INVOLVED AN ACCIDENT,THIS COULD LEAD TO TRAGIC RESULTS...I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE LATCH FAILED AGAIN. UPDATED IVOQ 02/24/11

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS HE WAS ABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS HE CLOSED THE DOOR, THE POWER LOCKS ENGAGED AND THE ALARM SOUNDED WITH THE CONTACT LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE ALARM SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SERVICED AND THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,500.

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH WHEN A WOMAN DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE SIDE OF HER CAR. MY SEATBELT RETRACTED AND SAVE ME, HOWEVER THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS HOWEVER A SCENT OF BURNING OR A CHEMICAL REACTION INSIDE THE CABIN. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY AT MORE THAN 10 MPH UPON IMPACT. CLEARLY I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 10-15 MPH. I AM WONDERING IF SOMETHING WAS A MISS. *TR

WIPERS DO NOT SHUT OFF AFTER TURNING THEM OFF. WHEN THEY DO FINALLY SHUT OFF, THEY PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. ALSO, THE INTERMITTENT FEATURE DOES NOT WORK WHATSOEVER WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS DURING RAIN EVENTS. WIPERS WORK PROPERLY ON DRY DAYS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CR-V AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 7000 MILES. THE TIRE NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER AS THE MILES GREW. BY 18,000 MILES I COULDN'T TAKE IT AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE CUPPED AND NEEDED REPLACED. I PUT NEW TIRES ON AND HAD IT ALIGNED BY THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET IT IN SPEC AND REPLACED THE REAR SPRINGS. THEY ALIGNED IT, BUT I STILL HAD TIRE NOISE. DEALER SAID I BOUGHT CHEAP ($125/PC) TIRES . THESE TIRES ARE ALSO NOW CUPPED SO BAD AT 50,000 MILES THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THEM, A 70K TIRE WITH ONLY 30K ON THEM. I ALSO SMELL HOT RUBBER ON THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE MUCH LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, AND ONLY THIS TIRE. COINCIDENTLY THIS ONE IS THE CUPPED NOISE MAKER. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CRV WITH 19000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES(CONTINENTAL 225/65 R17) WERE DRYROTTED. I AM 68 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN AUTOMOBILE WHERE THE TIRES WERE DRYROTTED. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THE TIRES ON A 3 YR. OLD VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW FROM HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, N.J., ARE DRYROTTED. I HAVE NOTIFIED TURNERVILLE HONDA AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. JUST DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY HONDA CRV (2007) MAKES HORRIBLE NOISE AND VIBRATES ON EXTREME LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. HONDA SERVICE LOOKED AT CONDENSER, SAID THEY SAW NO 'ROAD DAMAGE'. SERVICE DEPT. CONTACTED ME, SAID THAT THERE WAS 'ROAD DAMAGE', REPAIR BILL $1000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF CONDENSER & INSTALLATION. NO VISIBLE SIGN OF ANY DAMAGE. *TR

HONDA CRV 2007 EX 2.4 LITER, 4 CYLINDER. THE CAR DOES NOT START OCCASIONALLY. THE BATTERY IS FINE. STARTER IS OKAY. CHECKED ONLINE FORUM TO FIND THE ISSUE AND FIX. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE LOGGED SAME ISSUE ONLINE. DEALERS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. HONDA OF AMERICA SAY THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT CLEARLY THERE IS SOME ISSUE IN THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZATION OR OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE RELATED TO IGNITION. SOME ONE NEED TO DIG IN TO THE ISSUE AND HAVE IT FIXED BY HONDA REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. TODAY (FRIDAY, MARCH 05, 2010) AGAIN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE SINCE THE LIGHTS AND RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE WORKING. SEEMS LIKE THE SOME THING WITH THE IGNITION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE TO TOW AWAY THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS NOT STARTING AT ALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. SHE STATED THAT WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL ONTO THE RAMP THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN. SHE THEN PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND WHEN IT PASSED THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE AND IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY HONDA CRV 2007 VEHICLE DID A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF HALF THE VEHICLE LENGTH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, THEY WOULD BE DEAD. IN LIGHT OF ALL THE TOYOTA PRESS, I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. I DID HAVE A FLOOR MAT IN PLACE, WAS IT CAUGHT IN THE GAS PEDAL? HAVE THEIR BEEN ANY REPORT OF TROUBLE WITH THE HONDA CRV? THIS OCCURRED ONCE ONLY AND I DID REMOVE FLOOR MATS. THIS OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2009. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AS IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND STILL CONCERNS ME.. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV PRODUCED IN JAPAN HAS DEFECTIVE SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLIES WHICH ALLOW THE CAR TO BOUNCE UNDAMPED ON ROUGH ROAD SURFACES AND CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL. THE US MANUFACTURED UNITS DO NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. ADDITIONALLY HONDA LISTS DIFFERENT REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE US AND JAPANESE BUILT 2007 MODELS SO THE PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. *TR

I AM A LOYAL HONDA OWNER ON MY THIRD HONDA, A 2007 CRV. THE CRV CAME WITH OEM TIRES, BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TO BE SPECIFIC. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOLD THE DEALER I DID NOT WANT SUCH POORLY RATED TIRES BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OPTION TO UPGRADE TO BETTER TIRES. I PUT UP WITH THESE BAD TIRES FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL MY LUCK RAN OUT THIS YEAR WHEN MY AREA RECEIVED SEVERAL SNOW STORMS. MY FIRST NEAR-MISS HAPPENED IN DECEMBER OF 2009 I GOT STUCK ON A VERY MINOR PATCH OF SNOW AND MY CAR NARROWLY AVOIDED SLIDING BACKWARDS INTO A CREEK JUST BEHIND ME THAT WAS ABOUT 10' DEEP. I SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES RIGHT THEN BUT FAILED TO MAKE THE CONNECTION TO THE BAD TIRES AND BLAMED IT ON THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THE SECOND NEAR-MISS CAME THIS WEEK WHEN WE GOT A MAJOR SNOWSTORM AND MY BROTHER'S HOUSE LOST POWER AND HEAT. THE DAY AFTER THE STORM I TRIED TO DRIVE TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE AND RESCUE HIM AND HIS FAMILY. I GOT JUST OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE SNOW COVERED STREET AND RIGHT AWAY GOT STUCK. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY BY THROWING DIRT UNDER ALL THE TIRES TO GET TRACTION. I PULLED BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND WAS AFRAID TO TRY AGAIN FOR 2 DAYS UNTIL THE SNOW SOFTENED UP A BIT. KEEP IN MIND THAT MY CRV IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND THE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE NOT WORN OUT. IN BOTH CASES THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WAS USELESS AND IN BOTH CASES LIVES WERE AT RISK. I PAID EXTRA TO GET THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VERSION FOR JUST SUCH OCCASIONS AND I

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT PARK OR TURN OFF. DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 07-071. *TR

THE BACK PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL HAD A "HOT" SMELL COMING FROM IT. HONDA SERVICE DETERMINED I HAD A BRAKE PAD THAT HAD GOTTEN STUCK. BRAKE PAD WAS REPLACED, AS WELL AS FIXING THE ROTOR. THE SMELL CONTINUED. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY CANNOT FIND ONE THING "RUBBING" THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS "HOT" SMELL. THEY ARE STUMPED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL, WONDERING IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO WEAR OUT OR CATCH ON FIRE. MANY INTERNET BLOGS HAVE SHOWN MANY, MANY HONDA OWNERS TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. NO OTHER TIRES/WHEEL WELLS SMELL HOT - SOME OWNERS BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEXT TO THE TIRE. *TR

BOTH THE LEFT SIDE OEM TIRES ON MY HONDA CRV 2007 MODEL BLEW UP ON ME WHILE CHANGING LANES. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND HAVE BEEN ROTATING THEM AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA (ALL THE SERVICING ON THE VEHICLE WERE DONE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGH THE CAR). LUCKILY, I WAS ON A LOCAL ROAD AT 40 MPH SO I COULD KEEP MY CAR UNDER CONTROL. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER 2007 CRV CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ABNORMAL WEAR ON THEIR OEM (IN MY CASE CONTINENTAL) TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER WHO RECOMMENDED THAT I SHOULD CHANGE ALL FOUR TIRES- WHICH COST ME CLOSE TO $1000. MY CAR ONLY HAD 29000 MILES ON IT. HONDA APPARENTLY BLAMES THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WANTS ITS CUSTOMERS TO COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO THE TIRE MAKER. THIS IS ABSURD SINCE THEE ARE MANY COMPONENTS IN THE CAR THAT HONDA DID NOT MAKE ON ITS OWN. DOES IT EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO LOCATE THE MAKER OF EACH COMPONENT TO COMPLAIN WHEN THINGS GO WRONG? THIS IS HONDA'S PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD COMPENSATE ITS EXISTING CUSTOMERS AND TAKE CORRECTIVE STEPS FOR THE NEW CARS. THERE IS THE DANGER OF PEOPLE LOSING CONTROL OF THEIR CARS IF SUCH AN INCIDENT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY.*TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. INSTANTLY THE CONTACT SWITCH THE GEAR SELECTOR TO DRIVE WHERE THE VEHICLE AGAIN ACCELERATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A NEARBY STORE. ALSO THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED DURING THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT FOR THE ACCIDENT AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS AND THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 26900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENTER/ EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP TO HAVE THE LOCKS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE CONTACT FEELS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CONTACT WAS LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN FREEZING COLD WEATHER. FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. JO

IN 2007, WE PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV TO TOW, FOUR WHEELS DOWN. WE PURCHASED THE BLUE OX AVENTA LX, BX7445 TOW BAR CLASS IV (10,000 LB FOR A 2 INCH RECEIVER) AND THE BASE PLATE BX2246 MADE FOR THE 2007 HONDA CR-V\, WE FOUND THAT THE FRONT FASCIA OF THE HONDA HAD PULLED AWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THE BLUE OX BASE PLATE HAD FAILED. I MEAN, TOTALLY FAILED, THE METAL (NOT THE BOLTS) HAD RIPPED, THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES, WHERE THE BASE PLATE IS ATTACHED (BOLTED) TO THE FRAME. THE BASE PLATE, WAS NOW ONLY BEING HELD (AND ALSO OUR VEHICLE) ONLY BY THE SAFETY CABLES. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CRV FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW MODEL HAS HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR TO RIGHT OR LEFT THE CAR MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATES, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALMOST LIKE THE STEERING WILL GIVE OUT IF YOU TURN TOO FAR. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON AND OFF FOR SOME 10000 MILES. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRAVELING AND DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL TIRES COOL DOWN. THE DEALER HAS TRIED MANY TIMES TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT UNABLE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THEY HAVE FAILED TO REPLACE ANY OF THE SENSORS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT ALSO CONTROLS OTHER SYSTEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, SUDDENLY IT ACCELERATED. AS A CONSEQUENCE, SHE CRASHED INTO A POLE. TWO OCCUPANTS RECEIVED BRUISES ON THEIR CHEST. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 24,000.

MY 2007 HONDA CRV HAS HAD A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. SO BAD THAT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT CAUSES THE CAR TO CROSS TO THE RIGHT LANE IN LESS THAN 4 SECONDS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY CLAIM IT IS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM (3 ALIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE CAR AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS) OR SIMPLY SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE IT OR DON'T SEE A PROBLEM. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARDS THE LEFT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM CROSSING TO THE RIGHT LANE. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM DESPITE MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CRV AND WAS ALMOST RUN OVER BY IT TODAY. IT APPEARS THERE MIGHT BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I HAD PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I LEFT IT ON SO THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WHILE I WAS UNLOADING THE CAR AND PUTTING THINGS IN THE GARAGE (THIS PROCESS TOOK APPROX. 5 MINUTES). I THEN WENT TO THE BACK SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND GOT MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. I THEN SHUT THE BACK DOOR AND OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GRAB THE CAR KEYS WHICH WERE IN THE IGNITION. I TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK WARDS DRAGGING ME WITH IT...AS I WAS STUCK BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I WAS HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND AND SCRAMBLING TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS IN PARK...IT WAS AND THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER IT JUMPED UP ON THE CURB, BACKED INTO SEVERAL TREES AND HIT A STREET SIGN. MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK? I WAS HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND AS THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS AND I DOUBLED CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN PARK AS I WAS GETTING DRAGGED WITH THE CAR. ALTHOUGH MY LEG IS NOW BADLY BRUISED AND MY BUMPER IS MESSED UP; ALL IN ALL I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY LUCKY. HAD MY DAUGHTER STARTED WALKING BEHIND THE CAR VS. WALKING TOWARDS THE GARAGE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I'M NOW TERRIFIED OF MY CAR.. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT HONDA CORPORATE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T H

DEFECTIVE FRONT AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS LEAD TO EXCESSIVE PITCHING OF VEHICLE EVEN ON MINOR UNEVEN ASPHALT. OWNERS WITH THIS DEFECT ARE SWERVING THEIR VEHICLES TO AVOID ROUGH PAVEMENT INCREASING RISK OF COLLISIONS. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE BATCH OF SHOCK ABSORBERS INCLUDED ON SOME JAPANESE BUILT 2007 CRVS. US BUILT UNITS SEEM TO HAVE AVOIDED THIS ISSUE. *TR

WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE FREEZES UP MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CLEARLY IN FREEZING WEATHER. I EVEN STOPPED AT AUTOZONE AND POURED IN NEW WASHER FLUID RATED DOWN TO -20 BELOW AND DROVE CAR FOR 2 HOURS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO SPRAY THE FRONT AND REAR WASHER BUT NONE CAME OUT. WINDSHIELD WAS SMEARED WITH ROAD SALT AND DEBRIS MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR. NEXT DAY WHEN TEMPS WENT OVER FREEZING THE WASHER STARTED SPRAYING AGAIN. *TR

SEATBELT CAME UNBUCKLED DURING A COLLISION. INSURANCE IS GOING TO FIX, BUT I WANTED THIS NOTED, AS I SEE A RECALL IN 2002 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD WINTER WITH OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V AND THERE IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW AFFECTING THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING PRECIPITATION IN COLD WEATHER. THE SNOW AND ICE BUILDS UP IN THE LARGE WELL BENEATH THE WIPER BLADES,CAUSING THE WIPER BLADES TO GET STUCK ON THIS SNOW AND ICE, AS WELL AS THE FROZEN PRECIPITATION STICKING TO THE WIPER BLADES. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY STOP, GET OUT OF THE CAR AND BREAK UP THE ICE AND SNOW FROM THE WELL AND THE WIPER BLADES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND SAFELY. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT A CAR THAT CAN BE PURCHASED WITH 4WD, CLEARLY MEANT TO BE DRIVEN IN SNOWY AREAS, WOULD HAVE THIS SEVERE DESIGN FLAW! HONDA REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS FLAW WITH A DESIGN SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM THAT CAN BE INSTALLED ON THIS CAR! *TR

THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V. IN WINTER PRECIPITATION CONDITIONS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER FREEZES. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAR IT WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND CLEARING IT MANUALLY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WIPER RESTS BELOW THE WINDSHIELD AND THERE IS NO HEATING ELEMENT TO THAW A FROZEN WIPER AT ALL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THERE IS PRECIPITATION BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE. THIS CAUSES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE AND THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE OIL DIFFERENTIAL AND SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL BE CHANGED EVERY THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND MILES. THIS CORRECTED THE FAILURE TEMPORARILY, BUT THE GRINDING NOISE RECURRED A WEEK LATER AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT AGAIN. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,804 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

MY HONDA CRV 2007 IS MAKING NOISE WHEN IN REVERSE AND THEN TURNING ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO HONDA SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY SAID THEY HEAR IT BUT THEY TRIED ANOTHER 07 CRV AND THEY SAID IT DOES THE SAME SOUND. WE PERSONALLY TRIED ANOTHER 07 CRV TOO BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND HEARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ENCOUNTERED AN ICE STORM AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS BECAME VERY SLIPPERY. HE FELT THE VEHICLE POWER SURGE AND PULL ITSELF FROM ONE DIRECTION TO THE OTHER. THERE WAS A SHIFT IN POWER FROM WHEEL TO WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAD ALL-WHEEL DRIVE AND THE CONTACT COULD FEEL IT ATTEMPTING TO ACTIVATE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,000 UPDATED 02/05/09 *BF. UPDATED 02/09/09. *JB

2007 HONDA CRV TURNED OUT TO BE VERY BAD ON SNOW AND/OR ICE COVERED ROADS. REAR END FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO KICK OUT TO THE RIGHT. TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDED TO BE DRAINED AND THE CLUTCHES BURNISHED. DROVE BETTER AFTER THAT, 6 WEEKS LATER CAR MAKING NOISE LIKE A BEARING WAS GOING OUT. WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR TIRES WERE CUPPED DUE TO NOT HAVING ROTATED THEM. CAR HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE TIRES WERE ALREADY RUINED, I WAITED TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN TILL 30,000 MILES. NOW THE FRONT TIRES WERE BALD IN THE CENTER AND REAR TIRES STILL CUPPED. THEY DRAINED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID AGAIN AND AGAIN BURNISHED THE CLUTCHES AS WELL AS PERFORMED THE 30K SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE. 4K MILES LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON BAD ROADS, THE REAR END ONCE AGAIN FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A COUPLE HUNDRED POUNDS OF EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE REAR. OH, FORGOT TO MENTION, HAVE HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AND TODAY HAD IT ALIGNED. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER HONDA'S (ACCORDS). VERY PLEASED, BUT ABSOLUTELY CAN'T STAND THIS CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. *TR

ON 2007 AND NEWER HONDA CRVS,, THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ARE NOT CONVEX AS THE ARE ON MOST VEHICLE. THIS DESIGN DEFECT RESULTS IN A VERY LARGE BLIND AREA, ESPECIALLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THAT IS STILL CAUSING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AFTER 2 YEARS OF DRIVING DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE CARS DRIVING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE CAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS SIGNIFICANT BLIND SPOT WITH SEVERAL OTHER CR-V OWNERS AND ALL HAVE FELT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS A GROANING AND VIBRATION OCCURS ON HARD RIGHT TURNS WITH THE HONDA CR-V. *TR
