2016 Honda HR-V complaints

VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITHOUT AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHEN VEHICLE IN FRONT ABRUPTLY STOPPED. DRIVER RECEIVED CONCUSSION FROM STRIKING STEERING WHEEL.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY SHOCKS ARE LEAKING AFTER LESS THAN THREE YEARS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT DO ANY IRREGULAR DRIVING. JUST TO AND FROM WORK ON PAVED STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

8/1/2020: AT 65 MPH THE ENGINE STARTED VIBRATING, WHEN ACCELERATED TO 75MPH ENGINE STALLS, RPM RAPIDLY INCREASED TO ~5000 AND COLLAPSED. LOST FORWARD MOMENTUM AND OUTPUT FROM THE ENGINE. MULTIPLE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, BREAK SYSTEM LIGHTS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ETC. CAME ON). VEHICLE WAS ON THE ACTIVE LANE, PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STEERED TO THE SHOULDER. UNABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN AFTER TURNING OFF AND ON. AFRAID THAT I WAS GOING TO LOSE AC IN THE 108F HEAT IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT TURN ON AGAIN SO I LEFT IT AT THAT UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVES.THE CAR HAD TO BE LEFT OVERNIGHT BECAUSE DEALERSHIP CLOSE SUNDAY. 8/2/2020: THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM SUPERSTITION HONDA REGARDING THE VEHICLE'S DIAGNOSIS. WAS INFORMED THAT THE DIAGNOSIS CODE OBSERVED WAS RELATED TO THE IGNITION START PUSH BUTTON THAT NEEDED REPLACING. I GAVE CONSENT TO THE SERVICE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION BUTTON. 8/3/2020: AFTER I WENT TO SUPERSTITION HONDA TO PICK UP THE CAR. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR ONTO HIGHWAY 60 AND GOT UP TO THE STATED SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH WHEN THE SAME SYMPTOMS APPEARED. VEHICLE STALLED AT SPEED, RPM RAPIDLY INCREASED TO ~5000 BEFORE COLLAPSING. I WAS IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AT THE AREA WHERE I CAME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY, THEREFORE I WAS STATIONARY PARTIALLY IN THE ACTIVE LANE.THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT GAVE ANY INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THE

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A BUSY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED AND DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE ANYMORE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR LIGHTS . SO WITH THE MOMENTUM LEFT IN THE CAR I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS WAS A VERY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND CARS WERE COMING FULL SPEED BEHIND ME. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH NO MAJOR INJURIES. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR HOME AND THEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY MADE ME PAY FOR LOOKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID . THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS AND DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS NO LONGER GOOD. IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THAT ALL MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN DONE AND MULTIPOINT INSPECTIONS UP TO DATE. I HAVE NOW DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION . VARIOUS HR-V FORUMS ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND HONDA IS NOT OWNING UP TO IT. MY CAR HAS $78K MILES AND ONLY OWNED IT FOR 3.5 YEARS. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME UP TO $8000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR SAFETY REASONS AND MAKE RIGHT TO THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA HR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE USING THE PUSH TO START/STOP BUTTON, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE NEEDED TO START AND SOMETIMES TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMART ENTRY SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT INFORMED THAT THE START/STOP SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND WAS AWAITING A CALL BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,961. *BF CONSUMER SAYS THAT LOCAL DEALER DID NOT CONTACT THEM. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVE'S IMPORT SERVICE, INC (MEDFORD, OR) ON 06/19/20 AND REPAIRED. *DL

(TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH METAL SHAVINGS, ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR: $6,800) MILEAGE 65,297 PURCHASED LESS THAN 4 YEARS AGO VIN: [XXX] MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING (NO LONGER ACCELERATED) AND HE WAS VERY LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE GALLATIN, TN HONDA, (THOUGH I PURCHASED IT ORIGINALLY IN LOUISVILLE, KY). I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY 2 SERVICE REPS (AND SPECIFICALLY SERVICE MANAGER, DALE GRATEHOUSE IN LOUISVILLE, KY) THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SPECIFIC MAKE AND MODEL (2016 HRV), AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS TO COME INTO THE SHOP IN THE 60-80,000 MILE RANGE NEEDING THIS EXACT REPAIR. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL REQUIRED AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS. I AM A LIFELONG HONDA OWNER. AT THIS POINT, MY MAIN CONCERN IS MAKING SURE THAT ANYONE WHO PURCHASED A 2016 HONDA HRV IS MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT TO PREVENT A HARMFUL OR POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC EVENT. BECAUSE IT IS CLEAR THAT HONDA IS NOT INTERESTED IN THEIR DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO WARN CUSTOMERS OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT, I PLAN TO PUT EVERY EFFORT FORTH/DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. IN CONTRAST TO HONDA'S MOST BASIC COURTESY TO ME, HONDA HAS NOW BEEN WARNED THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN AND THAT SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND/OR KILLED. AND NOW, I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO BE FORMALLY NOTIFIED. INFORMATION RED

SLOW LEAK NOTICED FROM TRANSMISSION PAN. HAPPENS VERY SLOWLY, OVER THOUSANDS OF MILES. TRANSMISSION FLUID SEEMS TO BE LOW, FREQUENTLY HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS ON THE HIGHWAY, OR ON HILLS/UNEVEN ROADS. *TR

FAULTY START/STOP SWITCH HAD TO REPLACE AT 48000 MILES ACTUALLY LESS THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF

2016 HONDA HR-V AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 68,982 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT MY COST. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ALL MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER INCLUDED A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. HONDA AND THE DEALER DID NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

3/6/2020 ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A VERY SUBTLE SOUND UPON ACCELERATION, THE SOUND ONLY OCCURRED WHILE IN MOTION AND APPEARED TO BECOME LESS OBVIOUS AFTER REACHING SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH. AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS (IN WHICH THE SOUND BECAME MORE OBVIOUS AND INCREASED IN INTENSITY) AND TAKING THE CAR THREE DIFFERENT PLACES INCLUDING THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP (NOT WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED DUE TO MOVING), I ULTIMATELY ENDED UP FINDING OUT MY TRANSMISSION IS "DESTROYED" AT UNDER 73,000 MILES. THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY AND IMMEDIATELY TAKEN 3/7/2020 TO THE NEAREST REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO HONDA DUE TO IT BEING A RELATIVELY NEW MODEL, AND THEY HAD NEVER WORKED ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO I HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WAS NOT ENTIRELY HELPFUL AND HAD TO CLARIFY DETAILS REGARDING WHAT THE MECHANIC SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR MANY TIMES, AS SHE WAS OFTEN INFLATING THE INFORMATION. THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED HAS BEEN EXHAUSTING AND DUE TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE RECEIVED AT HONDA, THE REPLACEMENT IS BEING COMPLETED BY A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST ELSEWHERE.

A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING WATER SWISHING IN MY TRUNK HATCH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN LOOK AT IT FOR $129 BUT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD SEAL. HE ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT HASN'T. I LOOKED ON THE HRV ONLINE FORUM AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY SAME THING. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT THEIR COST. IT COULD REALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HATCH OR THE TAIL LIGHT SAFETY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2016.

TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN IN THE CITY WHILE BEING DRIVEN

ON 2/12/20, WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR JERKED AND STARTED LOSING SPEED. ALL KINDS OF LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASH. I WAS NOT IN A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER SO I DROVE IT UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER SAFELY. I COULD ONLY GO 40 MPH AND THE CAR WAS JERKING. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. ONCE I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ALL FLASHING. I ENDED UP GETTING BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING TO A SHOPPING AREA CLOSE BY. HAD TO HAVE AAA TOW CAR TO MY HOUSE (45 MINUTES) AND THEN THE FOLLOWING MORNING, 11/13, HAVE THE DEALERSHIP TOW FROM MY HOUSE TO THE THEM (ANOTHER 45 MINUTES) . DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS, WHICH WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION COMING APART FROM THE INSIDE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN MARCH 2016 AND ONLY HAVE 101K MILES ON IT, IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE CONTRACT (75K). WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $6,340 TO FIX. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-999-5901) ON 2/13 AT 3:56 PM TO COMPLAIN AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION AS THIS WAS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. HAD THE WORST CUSTOMER PERSON EVER! (MISHA) SHE STATED SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS ASKING HONDA TO DO FOR ME AND THEN IMPLIED IT WAS MY FAULT NOTING SHE "TOOK" INTO CONSIDERATION MAINTENANCE DONE ON CAR, IF TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN CHANGED, MILEAGE AND NO RECALLS ON THE CAR. ALL OF THIS WAS BASED WITHOUT EVEN CALLING THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHI

VEHICLE SMART ENTRY INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN VERY INTERMITTENT, LIGHTING <1 TIME PER WEEK FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR, AND GOES AWAY WITH VEHICLE RESTART. TODAY THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY BATTERY, AND GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME WITH THE LIGHT ON, AND IT WILL NOT GO AWAY. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $150 TO SCAN THE CAR AND DISCOVER WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THERE WASN'T ACTUALLY A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW THAT THEY LIGHT WON'T SHUT OFF.

RIGHT REAR ROTOR HAD GROOVES IN IT AFTER ABOUT 22,000 MILES. BRAKE PADS HAVE A LOT OF MATERIAL LEFT. DON'T KNOW IF THE ROTOR OR THE PADS ARE THE PROBLEM.

DEFROST/ AC NOT BLOWING / HEATING NOT WORKING

2016 HRV ON THE THIRD TRANSMISSION - FIRST ONE FAILED IN LATE NOV 2018 AT 108K MILES, SECOND ONE FAILED IN APRIL 2019 AFTER ONLY 11K MILES. BOTH TIMES IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE - VERY DANGEROUS. DETAILS: ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE HRV WENT INTO LIMP MODE (WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 35-40MPH) AND FINALLY WENT INTO TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FROM THE SECOND FAILURE. THE FIRST TIME, IN NOVEMBER 2018, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON. THE HRV WAS TRAVELING UP A LARGE HILL AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN A STEADY SPEED. THAT'S WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE ENGINE REVVED REALLY HARD (I ASSUME BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL ON, SO I TAPPED THE BREAK TO RELEASE THE CC) AND THEN IT WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE, SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS, AND COASTED DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED BECAUSE I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 35 MPH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I GAVE UP REALIZING I COULD NOT DRIVE LIKE THAT AS IT WAS A DANGER TO BOTH MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BOTH ONTO AND OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC, THE HRV GOT TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF MY STREET AND WOULD GO NO FURTHER. HAD IT TOWED - AGAIN. THE SECOND FAILURE BEGAN ON THE INTERSTATE AS WELL. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE BEFORE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO AN ADVANCE AUTO AT A NEARBY EXIT AN

CVT FILL PLUG POPPED OUT ON ITS OWN; WAXY SMELL IN VEHICLE STARTING IN NOVEMBER, 2019 POST ROADTRIP FROM LOS ANGELES TO ARIZONA. HONDA DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS WAS NEGLECT ON BEHALF OF OIL CHANGE IN JUNE, 2019. ONLINE FORUMS (HTTPS://WWW.CIVICFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/321-TRANSMISSION/372757-CVT-FILL-PLUG.HTML) AND HONDA SERVICE EMPLOYEE STATES THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH HRVS AND CIVICS; OIL CHANGE COMPANY ALSO CONFIRMS THIS ANECDOTAL INFORMATION.

BELT IN CVT TRANSMISSION BROKE AT 80,000 MILES, REQUIRING COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WHEN IT OCCURRED, AND BEGAN JERKING LEFT AND RIGHT.

I NOTICED ONE DAY LEAVING FROM WORK THAT THE CAR WAS PULLING AS IF TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON A CITY STREET THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE/ROCK ANYTIME I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK MY TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLAT; ALL OF THE TIRES LOOKED GOOD SO I PROCEEDED TO START MY CAR AND TAKE OFF. AS I DID THIS, THEY CAR BEGAN SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATED AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. AGAIN, I PULLED OFF TO CHECK THE ENGINE THIS TIME TO SEE IF THERE WAS SMOKE. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR I TURNED IT ON HOWEVER IT WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. THERE, I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE TEAM THAT WHAT WAS BEING PRESENTED WAS SOMETHING THEY HAD NEVER SEEN. THEY HAD REMOVED PIECES OF TRANSMISSION (METAL SHARDS) FROM THE TRANSMISSION OIL. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE PLUG FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETED DEFORMED WITH METAL SHARDS PROTRUDING FROM IT. DUE TO MY TREMENDOUS UPKEEP WITH MY CAR, AS I AM CONSTANTLY MINDFUL OF WHEN TO HAVE IT SERVICED, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND NEITHER COULD THE MECHANICS AT HONDA DEALERSHIP.

DECEMBER 27, 2019 MY DAUGHTER CAITLYNN WAS DRIVING HER 2016 HRV LX ON IRA HICKS BLVD NEAR 341 EAST IN FT VALLEY GEORGIA. A SEMI-TRUCK PULLING A LOWBOY TRAILER WAS STOP AT A RAIL SPUR CROSSING WITH THE RAIL ARMS DOWN AND RED LIGHTS FLASHING. THE BRAKES FAIL CAUSING HER CAR TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF THE SEMI-TRUCK. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE CRASH. CAITLYNN SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES TO THE FACE AND NECK.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO REV AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS NO IN GEAR, NO POWER, IT BEGAN TO SLOW AND WHEN I STOPPED IT WOULD NOT CHANGE INTO ANY GEAR EXCEPT PARK. THE VEHICLE HAS 85,112 MILES

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 HONDA HRV AND STARTED TO LOSE POWER. WARNING LIGHTS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM AND ENGINE, ALONG WITH OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF AND TURN CAR ON AND WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WERE STILL ON, HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE THE CAR IN EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION. WHEN TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED, HE WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE CAR TO DRIVE. HONDA DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SPEED SENSOR CAME OUT, BUT IT WAS RULED OUT. ONLY THING WRONG, WAS A LOOSE BATTERY CABLE ON POSITIVE SIDE. CAR IS RUNNING FINE. HOWEVER TWO WEEKS LATER, I AM 150 MILES FROM HOME AND JUST GOT OFF FREEWAY, WHEN MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OVER AND LUCKILY CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND DID NOT REAR END ME. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM ABLE TO TURN CAR OFF AND ON. HOWEVER WILL NOT ENGAGED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION. I HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP (AGAIN). I WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY OUT AND ITS DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN MY TRANSMISSION OIL. I ONLY HAVE 101K MILES IN MY CAR HOWEVER IT IS NOT LONGER COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SO IT WILL COST ME $6,500 TO REPAIR. I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS ON HRV FORUMS FROM DRIVERS WHO OWN 2016-2017 HONDA HRV WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AND PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION.

IT FIRST STARTED OUT BY WHAT I THOUGHT WAS JUST A ISSUE WITH ME HAVING THREE NEW TIRES BC IT WOULD DRIVE AS IF IT WAS SCRUBBING. ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM A HAIR APPOINTMENT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR WENT FROM BEING IN DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND FLASHING WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SO FROM THAT MOMENT ON I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND HIT THE ELECTRICAL PARK BRAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. CRUNK BACK UP AND WAS ON MY WAY. SO TODAY 11/30 WHICH IS A WEEK LATER I WAS AT THE RED LIGHT STOPPED AND ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND GENTLY PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO. SO AFTER STILL LIGHTLY HITTING THE GAS PRAYING IT WOULD MOVE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD FOR ME TO PARK IT IN FRONT OF A STORE; I MADE IT DIRECTLY OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE STORE PARKING LOT. ONCE I GOT IT THERE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. I THEN RIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND REVERSE AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. ASSUMING IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT NONE OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DAHS CAME ON. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN OCCURING A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, THE MONITOR SHUTS OFF AND ON IN THE CAR AND GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL HONDA LINK SCREEN EVERY TIME IT RESTARTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHERE TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT ANYTHING HITTING IT FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARDS FOR NO REASON. WE PROCEEDED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR. WE HAD TO USE OUR INSURANCE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS AND ARE OUT $500. DEDUCTIBLE FOR WHAT WE FEEL IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT FREEWAY SPEED IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE NOISE LEVEL WHEN IT OCCURRED WAS EXTREMELY LOUD.

2016 HONDA HR-V WITH JUST OVER 18000 MILES HAS HAD OCCASIONAL START BUTTON PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES I AM REQUIRED TO PRESS IT A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS OR ENGINE STOPS. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 HR-VS...I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON THESE START/STOP BUTTONS.

2016 HONDA HRV - INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING (PUSH BUTTON START); KEY ICON REMAINS ILLUMINATED. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID IT MUST BE THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB (REPLACED REPEATEDLY WITH PROBLEM RECURRING) UNTIL FINALLY AT 49,000 MILES THEY SAID IT WAS SHOWING CODE B12C5 START/STOP SWITCH HAS FAILED. DIAGNOSIS $144 AND REPLACEMENT $302 TOTAL $446. IT TOOK 10 DAYS FROM DIAGNOSIS TO COMPLETED REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. THIS WAS BIG DEALERSHIP/SERVICE DEPT. SEEMS THEY WAITED TILL CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEN TOOK THEIR SWEET TIME GETTING THE PART WHILE I WAS WRINGING MY HANDS WONDERING IF THE CAR WOULD START WHENEVER I WENT SOMEWHERE. NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT VERY UNSAFE! PLEASE RECALL THIS PART -IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDAS.

THE KEYLESS IGNITION BUTTON ON A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD CAR FAILS TO START THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER BACKUP MANUAL KEY TO START THE ENGINE. THIS LEAVES A DRIVER HELPLESS AND STRANDED WITH NO VEHICLE STARTING OPTION.

A LIGHT WITH A KEY ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO APPEAR AT RANDOM AND THEN IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON. AT FIRST THE HRV WAS SLOW TO RESPOND TO THE START/STOP BUTTON AND THEN IT EITHER FAILED TO RESPOND OR WOULD NOT RESPOND WITHOUT MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE HRV WOULD NOT START AT TIMES OR IT COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. I CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN THE KEY AND THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE HRV IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THE START STOP SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR QUOTED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH SO THAT I COULD START AND TURN OFF MY CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION. GRATEFUL FOR THE FIX BUT AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE THIS SEEMS LIKE FAULTY/DEFECTIVE SWITCH ISSUE, PERHAPS ONE ALREADY KNOWN TO HONDA.

2016 HONDA HRV WITH 70,900 MILES SUDDENLY LOST POWER AT 55MPH ON HIGHWAY. ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO SHOULDER AND STOP.

2016 HONDA HRV HAS WATER IN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS AND IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER.

THE PUSH START BUTTON ON THE CAR ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THEN REAPPLY AN TRY AGAIN MULTIPLE TIME TO TRY AN GET THE CAR TO START, YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON ONCE AN TWICE REALLY FAST AN KEEP DOING IT OVER AN OVER TIL THE CAR FINALLY STARTS AN YOU HAVE TO DO IT OVER AN OVER AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.

MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE, MY CAR SCREEN FOR MY MILEAGE, GAS TANK HAND, AND ALL OF THAT ELECTRICAL STUFF WILL COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. WHEN IT SHOWS BACK UP MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL HAVE CRAZY LETTERS AND START FLASHING. THE ICON WITH THE KEY HAS RECENTLY POPPED UP ON MY DASH WHICH STANDS FOR SOMETHING BEING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.

WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THE RECALL PROCESS REGARDING 2016 HONDA HRV PUSH TO START BUTTON. MY PUSH START BUTTON STOPPED RESPONDING A FEW MONTHS BACK AND HAS NOT BEEN FUNCTIONAL DESPITE THE CAR BEING FAIRLY NEW. WE'LL HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED AND UPON LOOKING INTO IT ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AND MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE FAULTY.

THIS IS INDEED WHAT HAPPENED WHY I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNING MY CAR SAFETY AGAIN FOR THE CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS CAR I BOUGHT IN MONTH OF MAY TO JUNE OF YEAR 2016 THIS CAR HONDA HRV 2016 WAS A DISPLAY CAR HAS NO NICE FEATURES IN IT AT ALL ONLY DOOR CONTROLS WHICH ALREADY STOPPED WORKING ONCE THIS PASS WEEK MAKING THIS CAR VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BUT INITIALLY WHEN I BOUGHT CAR I NOTICED A DENT ON BACK CAR DOOR I JUST FOUND OUT CAR NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD AS NEW CAR WITH DENT ALREADY TO BE REPAIRED THE PRICE I NOTICED AS WELL OF TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS WAS WAY TOO HIGH HIGHEST PRICE I EVER SAW WAS EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT BELONGS COMMUNITY HONDA IS THE NAME OF THE DEALERSHIP OTHER IMPORTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WAS THE BRAKE PEDAL DAY TWO RETURN OF CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHEN I SAW ON TELEVISION THAT THIS MAN HAD FIVE DAYS TO RETURN CAR FOR FULL REFUND AND YET HONDA REFUSED TO LET ME RETURN THIS HONDA HRV YEAR 2016 ALSO I CALLED THE ONE RIGHT HUNDRED NUMBER THAT'S UNIVERSAL FOR HONDA AND THEY RELATED THE FRONT SEAT HAD SOME DANGEROUS MATERIAL THE WORD BEGAN WITH THE LETTER P NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES TO RETURN THIS CAR TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AT COMMUNITY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLAND PARK, ILLINOIS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS CAR IS A HAZARD ON THE ROADS PLEASE QUICKLY HELP ME GET THIS CAR SAFELY BACK TO THEM AND HAVE HONDA REFUND MY MONEY OF ALMOST FOURT

VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVING MOTION AT 50MPH THEN STARTED TO SLOWLY DECELERATE WHILE ON DRIVE. ACCELERATOR WAS INCREASED BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL WIRING DOWN. ALL INDICATORS LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. BRAKES SEEMED TO LOCK AND COULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED FROM IT SLOWLY WIRING DOWN. CAR STOPPED MOVING WHILE ON DRIVE AND WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE SPEED INDICATOR KEPT MOVING FROM 0 TO 120 YET THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS GOOD YET THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA HR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AAA ARRIVED AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONTO THE FLATBED OF THEIR TRUCK, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CORAL SPRINGS HONDA (LOCATED AT 9400 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, (954) 369-4679) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE DEALER SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CORAL SPRINGS HONDA WHERE A TEST DRIVE WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE REAR HATCH DOOR HAS WATER INSIDE OF IT. BOTH TAILLIGHTS HAVE CONDENSATION IN THEM AND YOU CAN HEAR WATER SLOSHING AROUND WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS HAVE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE WATER AND HONDA DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.

SYSTEM CONTROL IS BLINKING; CAR IS UNABLE TO START AND SHUT OFF ONCE PRESSING STARTER BUTTON. KEY BATTERIES HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT, BUT STILL OCCURS TO HAPPEN. IT TAKES ABOUT X8 PLUS TO START AND TURN OFF CAR.

I BOUGHT A 2016 WHITE HRV IN FEB. WITHIN A MONTH A GIANT SECTION OF PAINT PEELED RIGHT OFF THE ROOF. I WAS JUST READY TO PAY FOR IT. TOOK TO A PROFESSIONAL CAR PAINTER AND HE SAID "ID LOVE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY, BUT THIS IS A HONDA DEFECT AND THEY REALLY SHOULD FIX IT AND ITS GOING TO KEEP COMING OFF THE REST OF THE ROOF AND OTHER PLACES". THEN HE SAID HE KNEW THAT HONDA WAS HAVING PAINT PEELING ISSUES ESPECIALLY WHITE CARS. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE 2 VERY SMALL SECTIONS OF PEELED PAINT ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR UNDER THE WINDOW. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND FILED A CLAIM BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM CORPORATE.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 HRV IN JULY 2018, USED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD JUST GOTTEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL LIKE THEY RUSHED THROUGH THE INSPECTIONS TO GET IT SOLD AND OUT THE DOOR. 9 DAYS LATER, MY AIR CONDITIONING SEEMED TO NOT BE COOLING DOWN AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAD THEM CHECK IT, SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AND FIXED IT. 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY "HAD THE ENTIRE SERVICE TEAM UNDER THERE" AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SOMEHOW IT WAS FIXED WHEN I GOT IT BACK. 2 MONTHS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND, FED UP WITH THE FORD DEALER, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT AFTER GETTING IT UP ON A LIFT, IT LOOKED LIKE SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT CAUSED THE ISSUE AND IT MIGHT VOID MY WARRANTY! BUT THEY WERE GOING TO FIX IT AND SEE IF IT WOULD GO THROUGH, BUT I MIGHT NOT BE COVERED LATER. UPSET I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC FRIEND AND ASKED HIM TO PUT IT ON A LIFT AND TAKE PHOTOS OF ANY DAMAGES TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR NOT DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE IN INSPECTING AND REPORTING DAMAGES. HE PUTS IT UP AND SAYS THERE'S NOT A SCRATCH OR DENT ON IT, THE CAR IS IN CHERRY CONDITION AND HE'D DRIVE IT CROSS COUNTRY WITHOUT CONCERN. CALLED HONDA SERVICE AND HE SAID THEY'D REPLACED THE PART AND THAT THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN SPECIFICALLY TO THE PART SO THERE WAS NO MORE EVIDENCE, BUT THE PART HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY FORD AND I'VE HAD NO

I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD. WHEN THE ROAD IS WET, THE WHEELS COLLECT MUD AROUND THE REAR SURFACE WHILE DRIVING, THEN THE MUD SETTLES TO THE BOTTOM WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY, DRIES, AND THROWS THE WHEELS OUT OF BALANCE. SOMETIMES THE WHEELS ARE SO BADLY UNBALANCED THEY SHAKE VIOLENTLY ABOVE 50 MPH AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR NEW IN 2016. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE, WASH AND REMOUNT THE WHEELS. THEY DID IT FOR FREE TWICE BUT THEN INFORMED ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME EACH SUBSEQUENT TIME THIS SERVICE IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY A RECURRING PROBLEM AND HAS REQUIRED REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I STOPPED GOING TO THE DEALER, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM OR SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME, STATING THEIR WHEELS MEET ALL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. AS A FORMER AUTO MECHANIC, I BELIEVE UNBALANCED, SKIPPING WHEELS ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. SO, EVERY MONTH OR TWO, OR WHENEVER I NEED TO DO FREEWAY DRIVING, I HAVE TO JACK UP THE CAR, REMOVE THE WHEELS, POWER WASH THE DRY DIRT FROM THE BACK SIDES, AND REPLACE THEM TO ACHIEVE BALANCE AND GET THE VIBRATING AND BOUNCING TO STOP. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR OR HEARD OF A CAR WHERE THIS IS A REASONABLE MAINTENANCE EXPECTATION THAT A MFR. OR DEALER EXPECTS AN OWNER TO TAKE ON. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY FRU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA HR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SPEED SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO 35 MPH. DURING THE FAILURE, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED MORSE HONDA (3790 W. BLUE HERON BLVD, RIVIERA BEACH, FL) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED AND DISLODGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

CAR'S BREAKS REQUIRE HARD STEP TO FUNCTION AND SEEM TO "FAIL" WHEN BACKING UP IN THE MORNING. SEEMS TO FUNCTION NORMALLY DURING THE REST OF THE DAY. HAVE NOT TESTED FORWARD BREAKS IN MORNING SINCE WE ALWAYS BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR CALIPERS FAIL TO INCLUDE THE EPB UNIT. THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER FAILED AT APROX 48K ALONG WITH THE EPB UNIT. THE SECOND, LEFT REAR CALIPER FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AT APROX 58K WHICH GROUND DOWN THE NEW ROTOR AND BREAK PADS CAUSING THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ROTORS AND BREAK PADS. THESE PARTS SHO ULD NOT FAIL AT THIS LOW MILEAGE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2016, IT HAS 70K MILES ON IT, AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. LAST WEEK I WAS GOING ABOUT 40-50 MPH AND MY DASH SAID THE GEAR WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A FEW PLACES AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOTALLY SHOT.

MY HONDA HR-V STARTED LEAKING WATER WHILE PARKED. THE WATER THAT ENTERED THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSTANTIAL (SEE ATTACHED PICTURES). THE WATER LEAKAGE WAS DETERMINED A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR THAT THE DEALERSHIP HIRED AFTER FAILING TO DETECT THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH. THE WATER WAS LEAKING IN THROUGH A FAULTY SEAL IN THE WINDSHIELD ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR-BAG PLASTIC MOLDING AND GETTING BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE WATER CAUSED ELECTRICAL DAMAGE IN THE CAR THAT MADE LIGHTS AND RELAYS START TRIPPING OUT, EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY DIED. THE CAR WAS PARKED DURING THE INCIDENT AND I FOUND THE DAMAGE AFTER RAIN STORM. THE CARPETS ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BEING WATER DAMAGED AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO MOLD. THE RAINSTORM THAT CAME THROUGH WAS SIGNIFICANT, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN GOING ON WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE TO A LESSER EXTENT. DUE TO THE WAY THE WATER WAS GETTING INTO THE CAR IT COULD BE ALMOST UNDETECTABLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME SINCE ALL OF THE DAMAGE IS HIDDEN BY PLASTIC MOLDING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP, NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND NEVER HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY STOCK AS FAR AS THE AFFECTED PARTS GO.
