2009 Honda CR-V complaints

THE DOOR LOCK ON MY 2009 CRV DOES NOT WORK, NEITHER MANUALLY NOR WITH THE ELECTRONIC "FOB". I CANNOT GET INTO THE CAR. I WENT ONLINE ON EDMUNDS CAR FORUM AND NOTED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV. PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE THE CAR OWNER LOCKED OUTSIDE HIS/HER CAR IN THE FREEZING COLD WITH NO ACCESS TO A PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE INVOLVED THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK AND THE TAILGATE LOCK. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LOCK THE DOORS WITH EITHER THE KEY FOB OR THE INTERIOR BUTTON LOCK,NEITHER DOOR WOULD LOCK. AFTER OPERATING THE CAR AND STOPPING ,THE DOORS WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY LOCK THEN. *TR

I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE HONDA DOOR ACTUATOR SITUATION. IT IS EVIDENT THAT HONDA HAS NEGLIGENTLY OMITTED A VAST MAJORITY OF AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THEIR RECENT LIABILITY LAWSUIT RECALL. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS ON MY 2009 CRV DOOR LOCKS SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2009 AND AM AGAIN EXPERIENCING CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND NUMEROUS OTHER COMMENTS FROM SEVERAL SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS OF 2009 CRV OWNERS, HONDA HAS NEGLIGENTLY AND PURPOSEFULLY OMITTED A VAST MAJORITY OF VEHICLES IN THEIR RECALL IN AN ATTEMPT TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THEIR LIABILITY. *TR

I PARKED MY 2009 HONDA CRV IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I PUT IT ON A CHARGER, AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO CHECK IT 2 HOURS LATER I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS OF OFF. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE BATTERY WAS STILL DEAD, BUT THE LIGHTS STILL ON. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THERE SEEM TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY WOULD THE LIGHTS GO ON,. ON THEIR OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAL PLUG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK ITSELF WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE OR ELSEWHERE. IT HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN BUT THIS PARTICULAR TIME I UNLOCKED IT WITH THE KEY FOB AND WALKED TO THE MAILBOX (ABOUT 60 FT) AND BACK AND IT WAS LOCKED. IT HAS DONE THIS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, TOO. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT UNLOCKING BY ITSELF BUT THAT WOULD REALLY CONCERN ME. IT LOCKS ALL DOORS NORMALLY WHEN I FIRST PICK UP SPEED. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED SINCE NEW. *TR

THE LOCKING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I START THE CAR AND ENGAGE THE GEARS THE CAR DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOCK BY ITSELF BUT THEY DO NOT LOCK AS A RESULT IF I DO NOT LOCK THEM MANUALLY ALL THE FOUR DOORS REMAINS UNLOCKED. MY REMOTE ALSO IS UNABLE TO LOCK IT OPENS THE DOOR BUT DOES NOT LOCK AND HENCE I HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY. *TR

DRIVERS VEHICLE WAS TOTALED THE DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELTS BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN WHEN THE FRONT END WAS DEMOLISHED...UPDATED 11/12/14 *BF UPDATED 7/28/2015*JS *TR

ON MY LAST 2 VISITS TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, I HAVE BEEN TALKED WITH ABOUT REPLACING MY TIRES. THE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND ARE THE CONTINENTAL 4X4 CONTACT M&S 225165R 17 102T. I HAVE 18,00 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS KEPT IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE "SOFT" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $633.60 PLUS. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE I THOUGHT TIRES LASTED A LOT LONGER THAN 18,000. I THOUGHT TIRES LASTED 50,000 TO 65,00 MILES IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES THAT ARE ON MY CAR. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TIRES. DO THESE ORIGINAL TIRES HAVE PREMATURE OR UNEVEN WEAR, IN WHICH CASE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE. *TR

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY BEING DEAD. SIX TIMES I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY OR HAVE IT TOWED IN TO BE SERVICED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE THIRD THRU FIVE TIME I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY IN MY GARAGE, AFTER BUYING A CHARGING UNIT. THE SIX TIME I HAD IT TOWED IN FROM MY GARAGE TO THE DEALER. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE A/C RELAY AND I ASKED THAT IT BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER YEARS BUT NOT WITH THE 2009. I ALSO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10/23/2019 BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. I PAID $90.94 TO HAVE THE A/C RELAY REPLACED AND SO FAR THE CAR IS STARTING. I THINK THE COST OF $90.94 SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY HONDA OR MY ADVANTAGE WARRANTY. *TR

UPON TURNING ENGINE ON AND EVEN WHEN THE FAN/AC IS TURNED OFF AND #35 FUSE REMOVED, AC LINE IS COLD AND LOUD SOUND COMING FROM AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ALONG WITH SMOKE. *TR

EXITING THE SMALL TO MODERATE SIZED PARKING LOT I WAS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. THIS IS A T INTERSECTION WHERE ONE MUST TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I SLOWLY ACCELERATED TO TURN LEFT WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED IMMEDIATELY TO ABOUT 50 MPH WHILE I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION, I MANAGED TO TURN LEFT. DESPITE VIGOROUSLY BRAKING, THE CAR CONTINUED AT WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN INCREDIBLE SPEED, IT FELT LIKE AN ACCELERATING RACE CAR.

MY 2009 HONDA CRV LOCKS, MALFUNCTION, WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IT PARKED AND NO ONE IS IN THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS EVEN LOCKED US IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO MY CAR DOORS WILL NOT ALL UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOBS. THE REAR DOOR AND TRUNK WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR MAKING SLOW TURNS, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK AND OR UNLOCK AS I AM DRIVING. WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALER AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THEM FIX THIS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF ONE HAS SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

THIS INVOLVES MY TIRES ON MY 09 HONDA CRV. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER - TWO YEARS AGO, JULY 9,2011 I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICING AND TIRE ROTATION AND WAS ADVISED MY TIRES (ORIGINAL YOKOHAMA) WERE CHOPPY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER AT THE TIME ONLY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT WITH THE SAME TIRES WHICH I REFUSED AS I FELT THEY WORE PREMATURELY AND REPLACED THEM AT A TIRE DEALER WITH COOPERS. NOW, TWO YEARS ALMOST TO THE DAY, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCING AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES ARE CHOPPY AND NEED REPLACEMENT AGAIN, THIS TIME 92,000. IS THIS A DEFECT? I ALWAYS SERVICE MY CAR AND NEED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS - THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE. THANK YOU- *TR

PROBLEM WITH DOOR LOCK. MAKING NOISE WHILE START DRIVING -BACK DOOR NOT LOCKING. I DID FIND OUT THAT HONDA HAVE SOME ISSUE WITH POWER DOORS. WENT TO DEALER TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS THE RECALL. EVEN WHEN SO MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE PROBLEMS -HONDA NOT FACING PROBLEM. *TR

DASH DIGITAL READOUT FOR GAS, ,MILEAGE, TEMP ETC STARTED BLINKING ON AND OFF AND EVEN DISAPPEAR AND THEN BLINK OFF AND ON. MECHANIC SAYS REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF MICU UNIT AT A COST OF $600. VEHICLE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY CAR BACKWARDS. MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE SPEED OF MY CAR. I WAS ALSO UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING, THEN WITHIN DAYS, THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED CYCLING CONSTANTLY WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. ALSO, THE REAR HATCH WOULD ALSO NOT UNLOCK. AT TIMES THE REMOTE WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE INNER DOOR HANDLE, AS THE ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

DRIVER DOOR UNLOCKS WHENEVER THE CAR MAKES A RIGHT TURN. DOME LIGHT GOES ON. DOOR RE-LOCKS WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING, UNLOCKS AGAIN WHEN TURNING. IN CITY TRAFFIC, DOOR UNLOCKS AND RELOCKS CONSTANTLY. (MAKING NORMAL UNLOCKING/LOCKING CLICKING SOUND). I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE IT - SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND TRIED TO SEND ME AWAY. I REQUESTED THAT THEIR MECHANIC RIDE WITH ME FOR ONE MORE TEST...THE DOOR UNLOCKED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT. IT LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THREE MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT 250 YARDS. THE MECHANIC THEN AGREED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HONDA SEEMS TO BE IN DENIAL. *TR

THE LOCKING SYSTEM ON MY 2009 HONDA CRV HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE FRONT AND BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY ITSELF, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WILL MAKE SQUEAKING NOISES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL WHETHER IT IS TURNED OFF OR RUNNING. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES AND IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR A SMALL CHILD TO OPEN THE DOOR AND FALL OUT. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER SAID THAT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY CONCERN AND RECALL HAS HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN PLACE. THEY ALSO SAID SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY IT WOULD COST $400 PER DOOR TO FIX THE LOCKING PROBLEM. BASICALLY THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN TO HONDA THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME MY TWO-YEAR OLD CAN BE LOCKED IN THE CAR WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO GET HER OUT OR EVEN WORSE OPENING THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA DRIVER MY ENTIRE LIFE (7 CARS TOTAL) AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THEM UNTIL NOW. THIS IS A VERY BAD MOVE ON THEIR PART AND HAVE LOST A VERY LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK AT ALL. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WOULD ONLY LOCK MANUALLY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER REGARDING THE LOCKING SYSTEM AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FOR THE LOCKING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE ANY REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,356.

THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN I HAVE MY CELL PHONE PLUGGED INTO THE CAR CHARGER. IT STAYS ON UNTIL I UNPLUG THE PHONE FROM THE CHARGER. THIS IS ONGOING AND NOT JUST A ONE TIME INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND THE TPMS SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL WITH NO PROBLEM. *TR

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TO FRONT WINDSHIELD FROZE, OUTSIDE TEMP IN TEENS TO TWENTIES. ABLE TO DEFROST BY POURING HOT WATER ON NOZZLES BUT REFREEZES WITHIN MINUTES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WASHER FLUID RATED TO -20 BEING USED. OCCURS EVEN WITH ALCOHOL ADDED TO FLUID. DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN WINTRY AREAS!! *TR

HIT A CAR WITH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. IMPACT CAUSED MY HEAD TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR WHICH I HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND A CAT SCAN WAS PERFORMED. AFTER THE INITIAL FRONT IMPACT, ANOTHER CAR CRASHED INTO MY REAR, AGAIN NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

ICE BUILD UP ON THE WINDSHIELD OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OCCURS WHENEVER THERE IS SNOW OR FREEZING RAIN. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. EVEN WITH THE DEFROSTER ON THE HIGHEST SETTING THIS OCCURS. I BOUGHT AN AWD VEHICLE AS I LIVE IN VERMONT SO EXPECTED A DEFROSTER THAT WOULD PERFORM UNDER FREEZING CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE, THE ICE BUILD UP ON THE WINDSHIELD AFFECTS VISIBILITY SO GREATLY THAT I HAVE TO STOP DRIVING AND TRY TO BREAK UP ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND WIPERS. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DO DURING BAD WEATHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 1 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 35 MPH CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY HOWEVER, CHEMICALS WERE SEEN COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND THE FOOTWELL. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUFFERED LUNG IRRITATION DUE TO THE AIR BAG CHEMICALS THAT EMITTED FROM THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE ACTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS AWAITING THE RESULTS OF THE INSPECTION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000. THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, FORCING HER TO STOP TO AVOID A HEAD-ON-COLLISION AND SHE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

A RATTLING NOISE ERUPTED FROM UNDERNEATH MY 2009 CRV, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE HEAT SHIELDS MOUNTS ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE RUSTED THROUGH AT THE MOUNTS AND WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IN ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2010. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELDS WERE BEING HELD ON BY RADIATOR HOSE CLAMPS. THIS MEANS THAT IN JUST ONE YEAR THE MOUNTS TO THE HEAT SHIED WERE ALREADY RUSTED THROUGH. I PURCHASED THIS FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL AND NOT COVERED THROUGH THE RUST WARRANTY. HEAT SHIELDS ARE THERE FOR A REASON AND IN ORDER TO PREVENT FIRES. *TR

MY 2009 CRV HAD APPROX 38,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT, MY HUSBANDS 2011 CIVIC HAS APPROX 30,000 MILES AND HIS POWER STEERING PUMP JUST WENT OUT ALSO. IS THERE SOME SORT OF PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S AND THIS PART? HAVE OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS? *TR

VEHICLE ALWAYS PULLS TO THE RIGHT. HAD A ALIGNMENT DONE AND STILL PULLS. SUSPECTED DEFECTIVE TIRE AND CHANGED IT AND STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO PARK MY VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO EJECT IT FROM THE IGNITION. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER, HONDA SAYS THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEELS IN ORDER TO EJECT THE KEY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS, VERY FRUSTRATING, PARKING AND REPARKING UNTIL I CAN GET THE KEY OUT, AND APPARENTLY IT'S MY PROBLEM, NOT HONDAS! *TR

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2009 CR-V EX AND HAD ISSUES WITH TPMS LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAD TPMS SENSORS REPLACED AND TPMS BOX.

NEVER HAD BACK PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. SEATS ARE VERY FIRM, EVEN ADDING ADDITIONAL CUSHION OR BLANKET DOES NOT HELP. BOTTOM OF SEAT IS AT AN INCLINE, AND IT PUTS STRAIN ON KNEES / LEGS. NO ADJUSTMENT TO STRAIGHTEN SEAT LEVEL FROM INCLINE ON THE LX. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND HONDA AND THEY BOTH SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE. HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING SEATS FOR THE HONDA ACCORD & CIVIC & CRV AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. SEATS ARE CAUSING BACK / LEG ISSUES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED/REDESIGNED AND REPLACED BY HONDA.

TIRES SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE ALSO, WE WILL BE NEEDING TO REPLACE THEM SOON WITH ONLY 26K MILES, AND 3 YEARS OLD. HONDA SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. BAD TREAD ON THE TIRES, OURS ARE BRIDGESTONE. *TR
