TOOK CAR TO HONDA FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING AND "THE FLUID IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE". WE WERE QUOTED ~ $1280 FOR THE REPAIR. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH CR-VS.

HONDA ISSUED A "NOTICE" ABOUT THE LOCKS MALFUNCTIONING ON THE CRV BUT THIS IS MORE OF A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT DESERVES A RECALL. IF YOU MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR THE "NOTICE" THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE YOUR LOCKS REPAIRED. THEY ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MORE THAN ONE REASON. FOR ONE IT ALLOWS CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOOR DUE TO IT NOT BEING LOCKED AND THEY COULD FALL OUT. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR SOMEONE TO OPEN YOUR DOOR AND GET IN WITHOUT YOU HAVING CONTROL OVER IT. THE DOORS UNLOCK AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND WILL NOT STAY LOCKED WHEN YOU RELOCK THEM. THIS IS ONLY FIXED BY HAVING THE LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED WHICH MANY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD SINCE IT HAPPENS ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

HAD DOOR LOCK FIXED DUE TO RECALL IN THE PAST, DOOR CONTINUES TO LOCK ON ITS OWN AND SOMETIMES NOT UNLOCK AT ALL MAKE IT A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, BRAKES STARTED TO VIBRATE & UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES IS IS A FAULTY ABS MODULE. THIS WAS AFTER NEW BRAKES HAD BEEN INSTALLED, NEW ROTORS, PAID TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM BLED TWICE (ABOUT $700). TO INSTALL A NEW ABS MODULE, THE COST IS $2,100 JUST FOR THE PART FROM HONDA. THE CAR IS NOW DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE PART. HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE CARS. IN ADDITION, I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE IS A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS CAR IN MARCH, NOW IT IS APRIL AND THOSE NEW PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE DEALER YET. I HAVE A CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOW 1) IT NEEDS A $2100 PART, WHICH THE SERVICE FOREMAN TELLS ME IS NOT GUARANTEED TO LAST BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY; AND 2) THERE IS AN AIRBAG PART THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE AT ANY DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE CHECKED; AND 3) THE FACTORY ALARM WILL NOT SET, I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL DOOR LOCKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DOOR LOCKS WERE REPAIRED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS INITIATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE CHEST AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS STATING THAT "THE DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE." HOWEVER, THE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SUMMER SOMETIME. WE WILL STORE YOUR CAR AND PROVIDE YOU A RENTAL. SOUNDS FAIR, UNTIL THEY TELL ME THAT I WILL BE PUT INTO A COMPACT CAR FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. I PURCHASED AN SUV BECAUSE IT SUITS MY FAMIIES NEEDS. A COMPACT CAR IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT FOR MY SUV. AS I SEE IT, HONDA HAS A SITUATION THAT THEY NEED TO REMEDY AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IT IS UP TO THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPARABLE VEHICLE WHILE I WAIT FOR THEIR PARTS TO ARRIVE. I REGRET THE DAY I EVER PURCHASED A HONDA. THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE LAST STRAW. I AM FURIOUS, UNSATISFIED AND SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN MY CAR. I WILL BE TAKING MY STORY TO THE NEWS, SO THAT MAYBE SOMEONE WILL STEP UP AND MAKE THIS RIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK OUR CAR IN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPAIRED. MOISES AT OUR ALHAMBRA HONDA DEALER SAID THE BAGS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TILL MID-SUMMER. WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS HE SAID, EITHER WE COULD TAKE A "FREE" RENTAL FROM THEM, WHICH WILL COST MY DAUGHTER $12 PER DAY TO INSURE, OR SHE COULD CONTINUE TO RISK HER LIFE BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE TILL THE PARTS COME. EITHER WAY, THEY WANT US TO SIGN A WAIVER THAT ABSOLVES THEM FROM ANY LIABILITY SHOULD THINGS GO WRONG. I FIND IT HARD TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THE FACT THAT I SHOULD PAY HONDA OR TAKATA ANYTHING FOR KEEPING MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HARMS WAY. I NEED TO KNOW FROM YOU IF NHTSA HAS SIGNED OFF ON THIS DISINGENUOUS "RESCUE PACKAGE" THAT HONDA HAS DEVISED TO SHIRK THEIR LIABILITY. IF SO, I WILL BE CONTACTING MY CONGRESSMAN, XAVIER BECERRA TO TRY TO RECTIFY THIS BAD DEAL. IF NOT, WILL YOU PLEASE ADVISE US WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS URGENT MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VSA WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO RECEIVE THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER FOR MONTHS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE INTERIM NOTIFICATION LETTER ONLY INDICATED THAT THE PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE MID SUMMER 2016. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - HONDA IGNORES MY REPEATED REQUESTS FOR A MANAGER TO RETURN MY CALL - AFTER RECEIVING MY NOTIFICATION LETTER, I CALLED HONDA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I ASKED TO HAVE A "CASE MANAGER" FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS ASSIGNED ONE. HOWEVER NO CASE MANAGER HAS EVER CALLED ME DESPITE SIX SEPARATE CALLS TO REQUEST TO SPEAK TO ONE. I HAVE ALSO CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER AND HAVE BEEN PROMISED ONE WILL CALL ME BACK BY THAT DAY. AFTER OVER A WEEK AND MULTIPLE REQUESTS, STILL NOT ONE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE HAS RETURNED MY CALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH AN UNSAFE CAR FROM HONDA AND THEY HAVE IGNORED MY REPEATED REQUESTS TO HAVE A CASE MANAGER TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. ALSO, THEY OFFERED ME A RENTED CAR FOR ONLY UP TO $35.00 A DAY - HOWEVER FOR THAT BUDGET IT IS A SMALL COMPACT CAR THAT CANNOT FIR MY CAR SEATS. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND TOLD THEM WITH THAT BUDGET I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET A CAR THAT WILL FIT MY CAR SEATS - HE SAID THAT'S THE BUDGET AND HONDA WILL NOT PAY A PENNY MORE. SO NOW BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA RECALL, I HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA $10.00 A DAY TILL THEY GET THIS PART - SOMETIME IN SUMMER 2016!!! NOT ONLY DID HONDA NOT EVEN HAVE THEIR "CASE MANAGER" OR MANAGER RETURN A CONCERNED CONSUMERS REQUEST TO TALK TO SOMEONE AFTER LEAVING MULTIPLE MESSAGES, BUT NOW THIS RECALL IS COSTING ME MONEY. I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR FROM HONDA AGAIN, THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH DISRESPECT.

AFTER PARKING MY CAR, WHILE UNLOCKING THE DOORS, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS NOT GETTING UNLOCKED. SO I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND AFTER THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NEVER GETTING LOCKED AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION AS ALREADY THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR IS BROKEN AND NOW THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NOT GETTING LOCKED AT ALL. NOW I AM FEELING VERY INSECURE BY USING THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX BOTH THESE PROBLEMS AT NO COST TO ME.

I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SAFETY RECALL LAST YEAR ON DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. DEALER TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED SO NOTHING WAS DONE. RECALL ENDED NOV 7 2015 AND NOW I AM HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH DOOR LOCKS. DOORS LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING WHETHER USING KEY FOB, DOOR LOCK ON DOOR, OR WHEN THE DOORS SELF UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK. THE DOOR UNLOCKS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO BUT IMMEDIATELY RELOCKS ALL DOORS. PASSENGER UNLOCKS THEIR DOOR AND IF THEY DON'T CATCH THE LATCH TO OPEN THE DOOR QUICKLY, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK. I CAN'T TAKE MY CAR TO THE CARWASH IN FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL LOCK MY KEYS INSIDE. KEYS IN IGNITION, ENGINE ON AND I GET OUT TO CLOSE MY GATE, THE DOORS RELOCK. IF I DIDN'T HEAR IT LOCK AND SHUT MY DOOR, MY CAR WOULD BE RUNNING IN PARK WITH DOORS LOCKED. THINK IF I HAD MY GRAND CHILDREN INSIDE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND I CAN'T GET INSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING REGULARLY AROUND JANUARY 2016 PAST THE RECALL. TO FIX THIS MYSELF WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER, OPENED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR MOTOR THAT CONTROLS DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING MAKES NOISES AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT LOCK THE DOORS. ALSO, WHEN I AM DRIVING DRIVERS SIDE DOORS IN FRONT AND BACK LOCK AND UNLOCK THEM SELVES. ? 2 YEARS AGO I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE PASSAGER SIDE MOTOR FOR THE DOOR LOCKS REPAIRED, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE IS GOING OUT. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX THIS AT NO COST TO ME. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS?

WHEN UNLOCKING THE DOORS USING KEY BUTTON OR DRIVER DOOR BUTTON, A LONG WIRED SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR IS BROKEN AND TOLD THERE IS A RECALL OF THE ACTUATOR ONLY FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IS THERE ANY OPTION AVAILABLE FROM HONDA FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ACTUATOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR.

I HAVE KEY WITH DOOR LOCKS ON IT, WHEN I UNLOCK THE CAR, IT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS AGAIN, WITHOUT PUSHING THE OTHER BUTTON TO LOCK IT. ALSO, THE A/C HAS BEEN FIXED 4 TIMES AND WITHIN A WEEK , JUST BLOWS OUT WARM AIR, HAVE TAKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, HONDA DEALER/GARAGE SAYS THEY WONT FIX UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT MADE A SUDDEN STOP CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE CONTACT INJURIES WERE NOT YET DETERMINED HOWEVER, MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 315,000.

BOOTS AND INNER BELLOW BOOT CLAMPS AND INNER TIE ROD LOCK WASHER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP, AND ON THE GRILL. THE PAINT COLOR IS WHITE

THE TIPS OF THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID DISPENSER FREEZES IN REALLY COLD TEMPERATURES AND DIDN'T UNFREEZE UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE GOT TO 44 DEGREES. SO WE DROVE OVER ONE HOUR IN THE SNOW WITH NO WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND COULDN'T SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH ALL THE DIRTY SNOW AND MUD SMEARING ON THE WINDSHIELD. WE PUT FRESH WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT THAT KEPT IT CLEAN FOR ABOUT ONE MILE ONLY. THIS WAS DRIVING ON HWY. 80 IN THE SIERRA'S. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

THE TAILGATE AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND CANNOT BE UNLOCKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2015 STAYED LOCKED FOR TWO DAYS. THE SECOND TIME WAS DECEMBER 19, 2015 AND STAYED LOCKED FOR FOUR HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS CANNOT DETERMINE PROBLEM AS BY THE TIME OF APPOINTMENT THE DOORS HAD UNLOCKED. THE AMERICAN HONDA CORP SAYS CAN ONLY BE FIXED IF ABLE TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHILE LOCKED. THE LOCKING OF DOORS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING AND GETTING READY TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THE ACTUATOR OF THE DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED, ONE COVERED BY HONDA, MOST RECENT I HAD TO PAY. HONDA CORP DOES NOT HAVE INFO OF POSSIBLE PROBLEM FIXED ON OTHER VEHICLES SO I COULD TELL DEALERSHIP.

BROUGHT MY CR-V IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND TIRES WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC STATED THAT POWER STEERING RACK N PINION WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PURCHASED A HONDA FOR DURABILITY BUT APPARENTLY THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING FROM SEVERAL CONSUMERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION REPORTEDLY NEED REPLACEMENT, AND REALIGNMENT, DUE TO FLUID LINK. THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE, YEAR AND MAKE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING I HIT AN 8 POINT BUCK. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT WE WERE SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG CODE 32-10 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT COST ME $638.26 TO REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST AND AM INQUIRING HOW MANY OTHER 2008 HONDA CRVS HAD THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE THE WRITTEN DIAGNOSTIC COMMENT AND REPLACEMENT RECEIPT.

APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO A CRACK STARTED IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT STARTED FROM THE TOP RUBBER GASKET & WAS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE WINDOW VISOR HOLDER. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE HAD THE WINDOW REPLACED BY SAFELIGHT WINDOW REPAIR COMPANY. NOW WE HAVE A CRACK STARTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD & RUNNING DOWN FROM THE TOP RUBBER GASKET & ALSO IN DIRECT ALIGNMENT WITH THE VISOR HOLDER. A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE MUST BE APPLIED TO SEAT THE VISOR BACK INTO THE HOLDER. BOTH CRACKS HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL WITH NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF DAMAGE BY A ROCK, ETC. BOTH TIMES THE VISORS HAD BEEN TURNED TO THE SIDE WINDOW TO BLOCK THE SUN.

I HAD JUST MADE A SHARP TURN IN THE PARKING GARAGE TO PULL INTO MY PARKING SPOT. THE CAR ACCELERATED FROM ESSENTIALLY A DEAD STOP. MY CRV ACCELERATED, JUMPED A PARKING DIVIDER AND STRUCK A CONCRETE POLE THAT HOLDS UP THE ROOF OF THE PARKING GARAGE. I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. YOU COULD SMELL THE BURNING IN THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I STRUCK THE L FRONT BUMPER, BLEW THE DRIVERS TIRE, CRUMPLED IN THE FENDER AND DID INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. I WAS SEEN AND TREATED AT AN URGENT CLINIC THAT NIGHT FOR BACK PAIN. A CITY POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED SINCE IT OCCURRED ON HOSPITAL PROPERTY BUT IT WAS FILED WITH HOSPITAL POLICE. THE DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED AT A PROFESSIONAL BODY SHOP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ACCELERATION. SAID "IT MUST JUST BE A GLITCH....."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPEN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVER'S WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION REPORTEDLY NEED REPLACEMENT, AND REALIGNMENT, DUE TO FLUID LINK. THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE, YEAR AND MAKE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS.

WHINE IN POWER STEERING WHICH DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ONE HOUR TO REPLACE O-RING IN POWER STEERING LINE. MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN HONDA CARS FOUND ONLINE, A TECH BULLETIN ISSUES ON SOME MODELS BUT NOT ON MINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK FUEL CAP WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I OWN A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I ATTEMPTED TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS. HOWEVER, THE LEFT SIDE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DID NOT LOCK. I THINK THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AS MY PASSENGERS. ALSO, KNOWING THAT MY CAR WAS LOCKED ALREADY BUT NOT, THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL DANGER OF BAD GUYS COMING INSIDE EITHER TO TAKE VALUABLE ITEMS OR DAMAGE MY CAR. I AM PLANNING TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT WONDERING IF THE CHARGES WOULD BE COVERED BY ANY SERVICE BULLETINS TO GIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,408.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND THE AIR CONDITIONER, WHICH WAS ON AND WORKING GREAT, STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN VERY COMMON ON HONDA CR-VS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE FOUR DIFFERENT FAILURE MODES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AC COMPRESSOR EXPLODED OR IMPLODED AND COULD HAVE LEFT SHARDS OF METAL ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS DRIVING ON. TWO OTHER FAILURE MODES OF THIS PROBLEM INCLUDE THE CLUTCH AXLE SHAFT SHEARING AND THE CLUTCH ITSELF MELTING. HERE ARE THE RIDICULOUSLY HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE FOUND WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF RESEARCHING: 1. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FLDX1WVJQSC 2. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Q4AJBLXNH2E 3.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO SECURE THE CONTACT ON IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE A-PILLAR WHERE THE SEAT BELT WAS ATTACHED BECAME SEPARATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE COLLAR BONE, HEAD, AND A PINCHED NERVE ABOVE THE HAIRLINE, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,099.

BOUGHT OUR 2008 CRV, BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. BROUGHT CAR FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT IN HIS YEARS OF WORKING THERE, THIS IS ON OF THE WORST LEAKS HE HAS SEEN. MY CAR IS DRIVEN IN THE SUBURBS, TO PICK UP KIDS AND NO LONG ROAD TRIPS. WE BOUGHT A HONDA SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DURABILITY AND NOW WE HAVE TO SHELL OUT $2000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK. I THINK WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF 2008 CRV MODELS ABOUT THEIR STEERING RACKS, HONDA SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE IT! I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT SOMETHING MIGHT FAIL WHEN WE ARE DRIVING. WHAT A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT, HONDA

A/C STARTED BLOWING OUT WARM AIR. I CALLED LOCAL HONDA SERVICE AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL FOR MY VIN# BUT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR $115 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 7 YRS OR 100,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST TO REPLACE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND FIELD COIL IF NEEDED BUT MY VEHICLE HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IF THERE IS A DEFECT THEN HONDA SHOULD ADD TO RECALL SO THIS IS COVERED. I READ SOMETHING ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS FILED AND SETTLED ALREADY IN 2011/2012 FOR AC PROBLEMS WITH HONDA.

AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING. MY HUSBAND FOUND A VIDEO REGARDING THIS MODEL YEAR & MAKE WHICH SAID THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL GOING ON FOR THIS PROBLEM. CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, COULDN'T GET IN TILL JULY 13. WENT AWAY FROM THE PHONE FOR A LITTLE BIT, THE DEALER CALLED BACK & LEFT A MESSAGE TO SAY MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL FOR AIR CONDITIONING AND I CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER CHECKING NUMEROUS SITES I'VE REALIZED MY ORIGINAL CONTENTION IS CORRECT, THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ENGINEERING FLAW FROM HONDA AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM AT LITTLE (MAYBE FOR COOLANT REFILL) TO NO CHARGE, JUST FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN.

THE CUSHION MATERIAL IN THE FRONT SEATS IS DISINTEGRATING. EACH WEEK THERE IS MORE AND MORE FOAM DUST UNDER EACH OF THE FRONT SEATS ON THE DOOR SIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT USED OFTEN AS I AM SINGLE---MY MOTHER DOES SIT THERE(SHE WEIGHS 110 LBS). I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE CAR AND AT 137 LBS I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SEAT WAS SO POORLY CONSTRUCTED THAT THE FOAM, OR WHATEVER THE SEAT IS MADE OF, IS DISINTEGRATING ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMPROMISING THE SEAT CUSHION AIRBAG. I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT START DATE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING I BELIEVED THE DUST TO BE JUST THAT OR POSSIBLE DIRT/SAND FROM SHOES GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER INQUIRING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT HONDA DIRECTLY. I WILL BE CONTACTING THEM SOON IN AN ATTEMPT TO ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, I WANTED TO CONTACT YOU AS I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN. COULD THIS POTENTIALLY LEAD TO THE AIRBAGS INFLATING BECAUSE OF A LACK OF PADDING? NO LONGER WILL THE AIRBAGS BE CUSHIONED FROM ANY IMPACTS/BUMPS/WEIGHT-- NOT AS MUCH MATERIAL. AGAIN, I AM SURE THIS COULD LEAD TO A PROBLEM OF SAFETY IF IT COMPROMISES THE CUSHION AIRBAGS. THANK YOU

AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH FAILURE ... REPAIR COST ~$750. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (NOW CLOSED). HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE GOOD FOR REPAIR COST!
