2013 Honda CR-V complaints

MY MECHANIC FROM FOUR STARS AUTO CARE, LONG ISLAND, N.Y. HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CR-V 2013 TIMING CAMSHAFT WHICH IS CAUSING THE GRINDING SOUND WHEN I START THE CAR (THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE OIL HAS DRAINED FROM THE CAMSHAFT AND IS NOT LUBRICATED ' WHICH CAUSED THE GRINDING SOUND). USUALLY, THIS HAPPENS IF THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN STARTED FOR MORE THAN 3 OR 4 HOURS. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE VTC ACTUATOR IN THE CAR THAT IS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. I JUST SPOKE TO A LADY 'NICOLE' FROM HONDA CITY, 3859 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756 WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE VTC ACTUATOR IN THE 2013 CR-VS BUT DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER WHEN HONDA WILL HAVE THE VTC REPLACEMENT. SHE SAID, 'HONDA IS WORKING ON A NEW VTC, BUT DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM AVAILABLE.' SHE ALSO SAID THAT, THEY STOPPED REPLACING THE CURRENT VTC MODEL AND THERE IS A DEFECT.' ALL I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY WILL STILL REPLACE THIS WHEN MY CAR GOES OUT OF WARRANTY IN A FEW THOUSAND MILES? I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A LONG TERM EFFECT OF THE GRINDING NOISE TO THE CAMSHAFT OR THE ENGINE AND ALSO THE PASSERBY'S WHO LOOKED AT MY CR-V AFTER I START MY CAR. I AM GOING TO CONTACT HONDA DIRECTLY' I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWERS AND THE SERVICE. I WILL DEFINITELY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA IF THERE IS SATISFACTION TO THIS SOLUTION.

VTC ACTUATOR IS FAILING CAUSING A GRINDING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED AND ADMITTED TO A DEFECTIVE PART. CONTINUED TO SELL CARS KNOWING THE PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE. 2014-2015 HONDAS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA REPORTS IT IS NOT DOING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OR ANY COMPONENTS. THEY ARE OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE IN THE MATTER.

2013 HONDA CRV WITH 27,000 MILES HAS BEEN MAKING GRINDING NOISES WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER. THIS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND WAS NOT HAPPENING EACH TIME. IT SEEMS TEMPERATURE RELATED. WE CALLED OUR DEALER WHO SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS KNOWN BY HONDA AND THAT HONDA WAS WORKING ON IT AND WE WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE DEALER ONCE HONDA HAD A SOLUTION. THEY SEEMED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND ADMITTED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD CALLED WITH EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINT. FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA. IN THE MEANTIME, BECAUSE OIL IS NOT GETTING TO THIS PART IN THE STARTER, WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS PART IS BEING WORN DOWN. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY HONDA YET IT APPEARS NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT WOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTACT OUR DEALER HERE IN BEND, OREGON, SO THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR CONCERN DOCUMENTED AND ON THE TABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,500....UPDATED 02/03/16 *BF GRINDING NOISE DURING COLD START UP UPDATED 4/23/18*JB *CN

PREVIOUSLY REPORTED KNOWN HONDA PROBLEM WITH VTC ACTUATOR AT COLD START UP. NOTIFIED DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. APPEARS HONDA IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET REGARDING A RESOLUTION. AS THIS CAN AFFECT THE LONG TERM RELIABILITY OF THE POWER TRAIN THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

WENT TO 802 HONDA BERLIN VERMONT FOR 30,000MILE SERVICE THEY INFORMED ME I NEEDED REAR BRAKES,I SAID REPAIRE THEM.I HAVE OWNED TWO OTHEIR HONDA CRV. AN NEAVER REPLACED BRAKES BEFORE 45000 MILES.$439.21.

I WAS STRUCK BY A DEER ON THE DRIVERS FRONT FENDER CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55MPH GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD ON A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE DEER RAN INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT END.

ENGINE GRINDING NOISE WHEN CROSSING UP AND DOWN STRUCTURES LIKE BRIDGES. ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY WHILE TAKING EXITS. AT A TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO DIE. THIS GRINDING NOISE IS DISTURBING MY CONFIDENCE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY.

WE PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA CRV AND WOUND UP RETURNING THE VEHICLE THAT DAY WITH ONLY 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR. WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY, MY HUSBAND WAS BEHIND US IN OUR OTHER CAR. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE GAS PEDAL BASICALLY LOST POWER. IT FELT AS IF THE RESISTANCE BEHIND THE PEDAL JUST DISAPPEARED (ACCELERATOR HESITANCY ALSO HAPPENED AT A LEFT TURN GOING 5 MPH). AT THAT MOMENT THE CAR LOST POWER...SEVERAL SECONDS LATER, THE PEDAL RESUMED ITS NORMAL FEEL AND POWER RESUMED...IT DID THIS 3 TIMES. RIGHT AT THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS, I HEARD A TRIPLE CLICK (SOUNDED LIKE THE CLICKS YOU GET WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON AFTER BATTERY DRAIN). SO, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, LOSS OF POWER, POWER, LOSS OF POWER, POWER, LOSS OF POWER, POWER. I IMMEDIATELY GOT INTO THE RIGHT LANE THINKING THE CAR WAS GOING TO DIE ON ME AND EXPECTING TO HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. MY HUSBAND WATCHED THE WHOLE THING IN OUR TRUCK SO HE HAD A GOOD VIEW. HE SAW 3 EXPULSIONS OF BLUISH EXHAUST COME OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE AND SAW THE CAR SLOW DOWN AT EACH OF THE POWER LOSS EVENTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS HAPPENING NO ONLY TO THIS CAR, BUT THE FORESTER AND RAV4 AND OTHERS. SERVICE WAS SO RELIANT ON THEIR COMPUTER READ OUT, WHICH SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, THAT WE DID NOT HAVE FAITH THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND FIND A SOLUTION. SO WE CANCELLED THE SALE. IT IS ASHAME THAT THE NHTS HAS ONLY REQUIRED MAT CHANGES AS RECALLS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMPUTER PROGRAMMING ERRO

AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN THE CAR IS ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING UPHILL THE CAR ROLLS BACK BY AT LEAST 10 MILES AND PICK UP AGAIN AND STALLS AGAIN. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NOR MAL FOR THE CAR TO STALL. I NEVER ACCEPTED THAT EXPLANATION, THE CAR NEEDS TOP BE RECALLED ALONG WITH THE OTHER CARS. THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

VERY LITTLE NIGHT DRIVING DONE AND 6 MOS. SPENT IN FLORIDA. DEFECTIVE LIGHTS DISCOVERED SOMETIME 2013. CAN ONLY SEE 20 FEET OF ROAD AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING. DEALER SAID SPECS. OK AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT. CALLED HONDA AND THEY RECOMMENDED TAKING TO ANOTHER DEALER STATING THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE.

WHEN I TURN ON ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT ANY 1-2 HOUR GAP, I HEAR A CRANKY ENGINE SOUND AFTER THE IGNITION. I FOUND THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN 2013 MODEL. MY CLOSE FRIEND RETURNED HIS HONDA CRV AFTER A YEAR AS IT SOUNDED LOUD IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS OF MONTANA. IN MY CASE IT WAS NOT SOUNDING EVERYTIME TILL NOW. I NOTIFIED THAT TO MY CAR DEALER WHEN I TOOK THIS VEHICLE FROM BOB ROHRMAN. THESE DAYS IT HAS BECOME A DAILY ROUTINE, THAT SOUND IS HAPPENING EACH TIME YOU IGNITE ENGINE AFTER A GAP OF SAY 1-2 HOURS. MY BRAKES WERE ALWAYS NOISY SINCE DAY ONE OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO NOTIFIED TO THE DEALER HOWEVER I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO WET CONDITIONS. HOWEVER IT IS A REGULAR THING. MY CAR IS JUST 7880 MILES AND WELL KEPT, WHY IS THE BRAKE SO NOISY INCLUDING ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ENGINE NOW. PLEASE PROVIDE A RESOLUTION OR I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REQUEST FOR REFUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A HANGING WIRE AND THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COVER FOR THE AXLE WAS HANGING AND THE ELECTRONIC ALL WHEEL DRIVE SENSOR CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE DURING COLD STARTS FROM THE ENGINE THAT CONTINUED WELL INTO THE SUMMER. I REPORTED IT TO MY HONDA DEALER (BILL PAGE/FALLS CHURCH, VA) AND REFERRED TO THE WELL DOCUMENTED VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BASED ON VIDEO AND AUDIO SIMILARITIES IN THE NOISES I WAS HEARING. THE DEALER BEING AWARE OF THE PROBLEM REFRAINED FROM ANY INVESTIGATION OR CORRECTION UNTIL THEY RECEIVED A CORRECTIVE SOLUTION FROM HONDA. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AMERICA AND THE DEALER LATER IN 2015 AFTER MY HONDA DEALER TECHNICIAN REPTD NO SOLUTION HAS COME FROM HONDA. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA REGARDING MY COMPLAINT SUGGESTING THE VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM IS LIMITED TO ALASKA AND I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO INVESTIGATE. AS A RESULT TO A SWITCH TO SYNTHETIC OIL AT THE DEALER THE NOISE SEEMS TO HAVE GONE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM HAS NOT DAMAGED THE ENGINE OR WON'T REAPPEAR IF I DECIDE TO RETURN TO CONVENTIONAL OIL. THE OFFICIAL POSITION BY HONDA VS. THE DEALER SEEMS TO PROMOTE A STAND-OFF TO COMPENSATE FOR A LACK OF A FULLY RELIABLE SOLUTION IN THAT THE DEALER IS TOLD NOT TO INITIATE REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM UNTIL A SOLUTION IS DISTRIBUTED BY HONDA WHILE HONDA CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNIVERSAL AND IS TRYING TO MINIMIZE ITS SCOPE; LEAVING CONSUMERS IN THE MIDDLE TRYING TO MAKE THEIR CRVS OR OTHER MODEL HONDAS RELIABLE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL CONTINUE PURSUIT OF A FIX WITH HONDA AMERICA BUT FEEL NHTS

I GOT INTO MY CAR AND BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS NICE, I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND LOWERED THE BACK WINDOWS. I ENTERED THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN MY SPEED REACHED 40 MPH, A LOUD ROAR CAME FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THE BACK STARTED SHAKING AND VIBRATING. I WAS SCARED AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I THOUGHT THE SUSPENSION OR THE WHEELS/TIRES HAD FAILED. I MADE A VISUAL INSPECTION AND COULD SEE NO PROBLEM. A HONDA DEALER WAS NEAR, SO I SLOWLY DROVE TO THEIR SERVICE BAY. WHEN I TOLD MY PROBLEM TO A WOMAN AT THE SERVICE DESK SHE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMPRESSION PROBLEM THAT ALL OF THESE VEHICLES HAD WHEN THE BACK WINDOWS WERE DOWN. I ASKED IF THE SALESPERSONS WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHE SAID NO.

THE REAR LIFTGATE AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WHEN I USED THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE REAR LIFTGATE DID OPEN AFTER THE THIRD TRY WITH THE REMOTE KEY FOB. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN BY EITHER THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. I ENGAGED AND DISENGAGED THE REAR SEAT CHILD LOCK SEVERAL TIMES AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT OPEN. UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ *CN

BACK DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. I ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE KEY FOB, WHICH HAS BATTERIES AND UNLOCKED THE OTHER DOORS. I THEN TRIED TO UNLOCK IT BY PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. I CONTINUED TO TRY ALL THE OTHER DOORS UNLOCK BUTTONS WITH NO LUCK. I AM UNABLE TO USE THE BACK PORTION OF THE VEHICLE SEEING AS I CAN'T GET TO IT. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES FROM PUTTING GROCERIES BACK THERE TO ACCESSING MY SPARE TIRE IF NEEDED.

THERE ARE TWO CONCERNS. 1. THE IGNITION KEY BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT, ALMOST BURNING TEMPERATURE WHEN HELD IN BARE HAND. THERE SEEMS NO CORRELATIONS TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN OR THE OUTSIDE CONDITIONS. THIA DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. 2. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF HAVE RECEIVED PAINFUL "STATIC ELECTRIC" SHOCKS WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN HAPPEN EVEN IN WARM WEATHER. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE SHOCKING AND THAT THE KEY GETTING HOT IS NOT A PROBLEM.

I NOTICED THAT HONDA CRV ARE BEING RECALLED. MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT WAS STALLING WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER HE SAYS THAT WAS NORMAL, STALLING WAS OK. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT DOES NOT TELL YOU WHEN IT IS ON, IT IS ALWAYS OFF AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS ON.

BAD ANGLE ON THE HEADREST AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. COSTING ME TIME OFF WORK AND PHYSICAL THERAPY. NOT VERY SAFE AFTER ALL IF YOU KEEP DRIVING WITH NECK AND BACK PAIN. DEFINITELY WILL SELL CAR ASAP SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THAT.

WHEN I START THE ENGINE IN THE MORNING (COLD), IT MAKES A WHIRRING/GRATING SOUND THAT LASTS JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS. IT DOESN'T MAKE THIS SOUND AGAIN ALL DAY, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 8+ HOURS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT.

WE TRADED IN A 2005 HONDA CRV FOR A 2013 HONDA CRV. THE 2005 WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT 70,000 MILES. THE 2013 STARTED WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE 2005 AFTER OWNING IT FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND VIBRATE BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM THE SAME WAYS I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM IN THE 2005 CRV. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD US IT WOULD HAVE TO GET WORSE. LAST MONTH IT GOT WORSE: IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT FOR UP TO 10 SECONDS THAT I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE WEEKS AND WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED WITH A TORQUE CONVERSION DEFECT. TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT HONDA MOTOR COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE SHAKING PROBLEM GOING BACK TO 2002. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY BULLETINS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAD A YOU TUBE VIDEO ABOUT IT. IT APPEARS NOW THAT THE 2005 CRV WE TRADED IN ACTUALLY HAD A TORQUE CONVERSION PROBLEM, NOT A BAD TRANSMISSION. I PAID AND EXTRA $18,000 FOR A CAR THAT I DIDN'T NEED. AT WHAT POINT DOES HONDA MOTORS INFORM THE CONSUMERS AND DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE? WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS WITHHOLDING OF CRUCIAL INFORMATION? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE WELDS ON THE STEEL RIMS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY CORRODE PRE MATURELY ARE CAUSE TIRE PRESSURE TO DROP. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS LESS THEN TWO YEARS OLD. HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY . IT'S NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY HONDA . THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS AT ANY TIME THIS DEFECTIVE WELD CAN BECOME WORSE AND CAUSE THE RIM TO COLLAPSE AND TIRE TO BLOW. WOULD YOU WANT TO DRIVE THIS AT HIGH SPEEDS? HONDA IS AN ARROGANT COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO BE HUMBLED AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS PROBLEMS. ALSO, ON THIS VEHICLE THE COMPASS DOES NOT FUNCTION. YOU'LL BE DRIVING EAST AND THE COMPASS SAYS SW. AGAIN HONDA SAYS NOT THERE PROBLEM. LASTLY, THE DIGITAL MPG GAUGE IS MISLEADING AND HIGHLY INACCURATE. IT OVERESTIMATES THE REAL MPG AND MISLEADS CUSTOMERS TO BELIEVE THERE GETTING BETTER MILEAGE. FRAUD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

CAR WOULD NOT START. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, THE ENGINE CRANKED SLOWLY, THEN THE STARTER ONLY CLICKED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED REGULARLY (20 MIN DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK) IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT. CAR WAS JUMP STARTED WITH ANOTHER CAR AND IT STARTED UP PROPERLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND IT SEEMS THAT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR 2012 CR-V ALSO APPLIED TO THE 2013 CR-V -- TSB 12-041. HOWEVER, WHEN I HAD SEARCHED THE LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE 2013 CR-V, THE ISSUE DIDN'T COME UP ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I THINK THIS SERVICE BULLETIN SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE 2013 CR-V AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ROTORS VIBRATED CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WE WERE DRIVING ON I-81, HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN LEFT LANE FOR TRAFFIC. ACCELERATOR FAILED WHEN WE TRIED TO RESUME SPEED. "ECON" MODE ON. NOT SURE HOW MUCH WE HAD SLOWED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RETURN TO HIGHWAY SPEED. IT WAS 3 - 5 SECONDS OR MORE BEFORE ACCELERATOR "UNLOCKED." SAME RESPONSE IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 13 TIMES. DIFFERENT SPEEDS, SLOW CITY ROADS OR INTERSTATES, GOING STRAIGHT OR IN A TURN, ALWAYS UNEXPECTED, MOSTLY WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME BUT SOMETIMES AFTER A MUCH LONGER INTERVAL. WEATHER ALWAYS GOOD. LAST EVENT WAS ON APRIL 25, 2015 (LAST WEEK) WITH MILEAGE AT 7,000. HAVE NOT USED ECON MODE SINCE JUNE 11, 2014. DEALER HAS FAILED TO FIND ANY MALFUNCTIONING PARTS OR SYSTEMS DURING THE 4 SEPARATE TIMES WE BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO BE CHECKED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE TALKED TO AMERICAN HONDA, GIVEN THEM A DETAILED DIARY OF EACH ACCELERATION FAILURE EVENT, AND THEY HAVE GIVEN US A CASE NUMBER. WE WORRY THAT OUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS MAY COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN WE NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY, AND WE HAVE ALREADY HAD DRIVERS AROUND US REACT IN DANGEROUS WAYS, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY WE HADN'T PICKED UP SPEED. *TR

AS I REPORTED LAST YEAR, THERE IS A VTC ACTUATOR DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE TEMPS FALL BELOW FREEZING AND IN SOME CASES EVEN ABOVE FREEZING MAINLY DUE TO LACK OF OIL PRESSURE AND THE ACTUATOR NOT LOCKING CORRECTLY. WELL, ANOTHER WINTER HAS COME AND GONE AND THERE IS STILL NO HINT OF A FIX FROM HONDA. THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO DAMAGE OCCURRING BUT ANY TIME I HEAR METAL ON METAL I BEG TO DIFFER. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT I AM LOOKING AT OPTIONS SUCH AS TRADING THE VEHICLE IN AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SERIOUS DAMAGE IS BEING DONE EACH WINTER WITH METAL ON METAL GRINDING. HONDA SURE HAS LOST THEIR PRESTIGIOUS CLAIM OF RELIABILITY IN MY EYES. SADLY THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA PRODUCT AS THEY DON'T SEEM TO ADDRESS CUSTOMER CONCERNS IN ANY KIND OF TIMELY MANNER. *TR

A RODENT BUILT A NEST IN THE BLOWER MOTOR OF OUR 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE RODENT NEST AFFECTED THE OPERATION OF THE MOTOR, AND CAUSED RODENT CONTAMINATED AIR TO BE CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. THIS HEALTH HAZARD COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY INSTALLING SCREENING THAT WOULD PREVENT RODENTS FROM ENTERING THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE SCREENING IS TECHNOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE FOR HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, LTD. ("HONDA"). IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, HONDA REFUSES TO COVER, UNDER WARRANTY, SERVICE AND REPAIRS FOR BLOWER MOTOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY INFILTRATING RODENTS DESPITE THE DESIGN DEFECT. AFTER REVIEWING COMPLAINTS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS THAT HAVE BEEN SIMILARLY AFFECTING BY THE DESIGN DEFECT, AND BY HONDA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES FOR THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY, A GRINDING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR BRAKES AND THEN THE GRINDING NOISE WOULD CEASE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE GRINDING NOISE WAS PRESENT THE FIRST THREE TIMES THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEN THE NOISE WOULD STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY RUST BUILD UP BEHIND THE REAR ROTORS. THE ROTORS WERE CLEANED AND THE FAILURE WAS SOLVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,900.

REAR BRAKES STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN FIRST TIME APPLIED EACH MORNING. SLOWLY CONDITION KEPT GETTING WORSE, BUT AFTER NO MORE THAN THREE APPLICATIONS OF BRAKES, CONDITION CEASES FOR THAT DAY ONLY TO RE APPEAR THE NEXT DAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT JUST BE A COLD WEATHER CONDITION. HOWEVER, HAVING JUST RETURNED FROM SOUTHERN FLORIDA FOR SIX WEEKS WITH THE CONDITION CONTINUING, I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER UPON MY RETURN ON MARCH 12, 2015. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A NORMAL SERVICE CONDITION CAUSED BY RUST BUILD UP BEHIND THE ROTORS AND NEEDED TO CLEAN THE BRAKES EVERY 20,000 MILES. I TOLD THEM I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS CARS IN THE LAST 60 YEARS PUTTING OVER 100 K MILES ON SEVERAL AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS CONDITION. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION HOTLINE AND THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THIS TO BE A SERVICE CONDITION. *TR

ON 2/10/2014, AROUND 8:50 AM EST I WAS ALONE AND DRIVING TO THE OFFICE WHEN MY CAR SKIDDED AND I LOST CONTROL. DUE TO THE MOMENTUM THE CAR HAD GAINED, IT WENT INTO A FREE SPIN. THOUGH THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AWD AND ABS, IT STILL COULD NOT CORRECT THE SKID AND WENT OUT OF CONTROL. IT DASHED AGAINST A TREE ON THE PATHWAY FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IMPACT RESULTED IN DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY, HOWEVER IT EXPLODED INSTEAD OF INFLATING. THIS INCIDENT HAS RESULTED IN INJURIES TO MY HAND, NECK AND BACK. RECENTLY I HAVE HEARD RECALLS FROM HONDA RELATED TO FAULTY AIR BAGS, HOWEVER DID NOT FIND ANY OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE...UPDATED 02/25/15 *BF UPDATED 9/22/2017*CN

CR-V STALLS WHEN FOR 3-5 SECONDS WHEN COMPLETING CORNERS. APPEARS TRANSMISSION IS SEARCHING FOR GEARS. DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON TO TRAFFIC. HONDA DEALER AND REGIONAL REP AARE AWARE OF PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO FIX.VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE IN COLDER WEATHER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING METAL NOISE. THE FAILURE RECURRED UPON INITIAL START-UP IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAD A TIRE THAT KEPT LOOSING AIR. THIS WENT ON FOR OVER A MONTH. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRE CHECKED FOR A PROBLEM. THE GUY LOOKING AT MY TIRE CAME BACK AND SAID I HAD LITTLE HOLES ALL THE WAY AROUND CENTER TREAD OF MY TIRE. HE TOLD ME THAT IF THAT ONE WAS DRY ROTTED THEN POSSIBLE SOME OF THE OTHERS WERE ALSO. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SET. UPON PULLING OFF THE OTHER TIRES I HAD TWO MORE TIRES LIKE THAT IN THE SAME CONDITION. I AM JUST THANKFUL THIS WAS CAUGHT BEFORE I HAD A WRECK. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE A LOT. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE A SET OF TIRES AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

GRINDING SOUND UPON START. PROBABLY THE VTC ACTUATOR. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN PHILADELPHIA, PA ON JANUARY 18, 2015 DUE TO ICE ON HIGHWAYS. I SLID INTO ONE CAR AND GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN A REPAIR SHOP. I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE CAR CAN BE FIXED, HOWEVER I NEED TO KNOW HOW SAFE IS THE CAR SINCE I RECEIVED SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

I HAD LEFT MY OFFICE ABOUT 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO PULLING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH IN THE PARKING LOT, LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPACE. I SAW ONE AND SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE TO BARELY MOVING, AND WAS EASING INTO THE PARKING SPACE WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE. JUST AS THE CAR STOPPED AND I WAS GETTING READY TO PUT IT INTO PARK, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT A TREE ABOUT 5 FEET IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE AT FULL FORCE. IT WAS LIKE THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOTALLY STUNNED. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS SMASHED IN AND RADIATOR FLUID WAS COMING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I WAS NOT TALKING ON THE PHONE; I WAS NOT DRINKING OR EATING ANYTHING IN THE CAR; I DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE RADIO TURNED ON. I WAS NOT IN AN EMOTIONAL STATE; I AM NOT PSYCHOTIC, HOMICIDAL ,OR SUICIDAL. I HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS I HAD JUST MADE A SLOW LEFT TURN INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND WAS BARELY MOVING, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET TO RESEARCH ANYTHING LIKE THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER HONDA CRV'S, AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENCES CITED INVOLVING THE 2011 AND 2013 MODELS. IT HAPPENS IN VERY COLD WEATHER (FREEZING OR BELOW) , WHILE THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. IT WAS IN THE LOW 30'S AT THE TIME AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. LUCKILY, THE TREE STOPPED MY FORWARD MOTION, OR I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP DRIVING THRU THE PLATE GLASS WINDOW OF THE UPS STORE. OTHER

AT A 10 MPH COAST I START TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE, THE RPM DOES NOT CHANGE WITH MOVEMENT OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAVE TO ROCK THE PEDAL TWO TO THREE TIMES TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND AND ACCELERATE WITH THE TRAFFIC. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER ON 2 OCCASIONS HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETECT AND CORRECT I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT FROM THE REAR TWICE. THE HONDA DEALER'S EXPLANATION IS THE TRANSMISSION IS WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER TO TELL IT TO " UP OR DOWNSHIFT. " IF THAT WERE THE CASE, THE RPM WOULD CHANGE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED . . *TR

BATTERY WAS GOING DEAD PERIODICALLY. THOUGHT I WAS LEAVING A LIGHT ON OR DOOR OPEN. TOLD THE HONDA DEALER TO CHECK THE BATTERY WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY NEVER CHECKED IT. DIDNT EVEN PUT THAT I ASKED TO CHECK IT. OUT OF WARRANTY BATTERY WENT DEAD. DID A CHECK AT AUTOZONE THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTENATOR. CHANGED ALTENATOR STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. VOLTAGE REGULATOR. THE VOLTS ONLY STAY UP WHEN I KEEP THE HEADLIGHTS ON. ( MORE TO THIS STORY ABOUT MY BAD DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE BUT DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT) *JS

WHEN PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT RELEASED, THERE WAS NO BRAKE LIGHT AND NO BEEPER SOUNDS (ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, I CHECKED LATER). *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR BOOKER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE THE REMOVAL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS IN 2013 HONDA CR-V (ATTN: CONSTITUENT SERVICES). *SMD THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE ALL OF THE AIR BAGS REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE. *JB

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN COLD (50 DEGREES F OR LOWER) OR FALLING TEMPERATURES, WITH A COLD ENGINE (NOT RUN FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS), I HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A CRANKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AFTER THE ENGINE STARTS. THE CRANKING SOUND LASTS LESS THAN A SECOND AND SOUNDS LIKE SEVERE VIBRATION OF A PART WITH SCREWS/COMPONENTS THAT HAVE COME LOOSE. I'VE RECORDED THE SOUND AND HAVE THE FILE AVAILABLE. THE SOUND DOES NOT OCCUR WITH A WARM ENGINE. *TR

AT WORK, FINISHED MY SHIFT, MOVE CAR TO EXIT, TURN CAR OFF WENT IN SWIPE MY CARD GET IN CAR PUT KEY IN TO START AND CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER, ALL LIGHTS LIGHTS ON IN CAR, WINDOWS WORKS BUT BATTERY WOULDN'T START...THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AT WORK, I HAD TO JUMP START, ENGINE STARTS UP AT FIRST TURN OVER...MY CAR HAVE A VERY RATTLES SOUND WHEN I PUT KEY IN TO START AT ALL TIMES, IS LIKE I EXCEED THE TURNING POINT BUT I DON'T. I TURNED KEY NATURALLY TO START BUT STARTER STILL RATTLES...I BELIEVED IT'S A STARTER PROBLEM AND IT'S SCARING ME, MY CAR IS JUST ONE YEAR OLD, I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR SEPTEMBER OF 2013... *TR

DURING WINTER MONTHS AT FREEZING AND BELOW PART # 110153 VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL, VTC ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONS. AT THE FIRST START UP THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE (METAL UPON METAL). THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE ORIGINATING DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY IN CRV-S WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS AT OR FREEZING THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE ENGINE WON'T FREEZE UP NOR WILL THERE BE ANY DAMAGE TO THE POWER TRAIN? THE PART IN QUESTION IS UNABLE (AT LOW TEMPERATURES) TO PUSH OIL UP INTO THE ENGINE UPON INITIAL COLD START-UP IN THE MORNINGS . THIS WAS HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME BY THE DEALER. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS AT THE STORE WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART ON 11 NOVEMBER, 2014 (AND WITHIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS IT FAILED) I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO DO SO. I LIVED WITH THIS ALL OF LAST WINTER AND NOW THIS WINTER AS WELL OR SO IT APPEARS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON SEVERAL 2013 HONDA CR-V'S SOLD IN STATES WHERE THE CLIMATE IS FREEZING OR BELOW. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT A FIX WAS IN THE WORKS BY HONDA. WELL A FIX HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS NOW SINCE AT LEAST FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR 2014 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO CALL HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS. THE DEALER WIPED THEIR HANDS OF THE SITUATION. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE ( AND POSSIBLY CAUSE IT TO FREEZE UP WHILE ON THE ROAD) POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD/ACCIDENT. LAST, (AND L

ON 9/23/14 30000 MILE CHECK UP PERFORMED AT DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ON 10/14/14 IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR ON INTERSTATE 4; VEHICLE HICCUPED AND LOST POWER; ABLE TO GO TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC; TURNED VEHICLE OFF THEN ON AGAIN; VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT HESITATION. DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT; THEY CHECKED IT OUT; SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG; HOWEVER, THEY RAN A COMPUTER UPDATE FOR THE ALTERNATING SYSTEM STATING THAT THEY "THINK" PROBLEM IS SOLVED. CONTACTED HONDA REGIONAL; THEY AUTHORIZED AN INSPECTION AT A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 11/12/14. I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THEY COULD FIND NO REASON THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER; AT THAT POINT, HONDA REGIONAL TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ANSWER. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM INDEPENDENCE HONDA IN BLOOMSBURG, PA. IT WAS A SATURDAY CLOSE TO CLOSING TIME. THE SALESMAN AND HIS BOSS WERE EAGER TO MAKE THE SALE, AND SAID IF YOU SIGN THE PAPERS TODAY, NAME YOUR PRICE. ALL ALONG KNOWING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE/DEFECT! I NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS, MADE THE DEAL AND PAID IN FULL. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I COMPLAINED ABOUT A RATTLE AND TOLD THEM TO ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY FIXED THE RATTLE AND SAID THE HEADLIGHTS WERE WITHIN SPECS OR SPECIFICATIONS! I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO THEM! STILL DIDN'T LIKE THE INSUFFICIENT VISIBILITY SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THIS MECHANIC SAID THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT HONDA'S HEADLIGHTS. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. THE SAME DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER. HE SAID, "WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON, THE LOW BEAMS ARE OFF, THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS." HE ALSO SAID, "THE LIGHTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ON A GMC VEHICLE." AGAIN WAS TOLD - "GET USED TO IT!" MY COMPLAINT - THE HEADLIGHTS DON'T PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! IT IS A DEFECT THAT IS NOT BEING CORRECTED. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT RECOURSE IS AVAILABLE FOR ME TO GET PROPER HEADLIGHTS? HONDA IS GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER! *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEGALLY TURN RIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE BUT SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATOR FAILED TO RESPOND, LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR A APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 SECONDS, WHILE OTHER VEHICLES WERE APPROACHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY RESPONDED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY TRIP. THIS EVENT HAS OCCASIONALLY OCCURRED SINCE THEN. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REPRESENTATIVE, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SINCE NO WARNING LIGHT OR INDICATOR HAS REVEALED ANY FAILURE CODE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE PARKING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED THROUGH A GARAGE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING. HAVE BEEN THROUGH 3 SETS IN 10 MONTHS! TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA, AND THEY BLAME THE CONSUMER'S IMPROPER INSTALLATION AS A CAUSE. WE HAD AUTO ZONE HELP US INSTALL THEM EACH TIME. BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE DAY 1 THAT THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY DIM AND COME BACK UP. HONDA BLAMES THE CARS "SMALL BATTERY" AS THE REASONING BEHIND IT. THEN IF IT'S THEIR "BATTERY" THAT'S CAUSING IT THEN MAKE THE SPACE BIGGER! ALSO, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAVE NOTICED THE CAR LAGS WHEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR. HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE COLLISIONS. YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE, BUT IT DELAYS. WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK TURN. HONDA SAYS "IT'S NORMAL, ALL CARS DO IT". THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLS ISSUED FOR THESE! THESE THINGS ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES! I'VE REVIEWED MULTIPLE PEOPLE STATING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR HONDA'S, AND YET HONDA REFUSES TO HELP THEIR CONSUMERS AND STILL CONTINUES TO PRODUCE FAULTY AND DANGEROUS CARS. *TR
