2002 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

WHEN BACKING UP AND PRESSING THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY THERE IS A LOUD CLUNK NOISE. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS TO COME FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE CLIPS, THE NOISE WAS GONE FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN IT RETURNED.

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RESTRAIN HIM.*JB

EVERY TIME THERE IS A SUDDEN STOP OR ROUGH STOP, THE VEHICLE STARS SPINNING AROUND. DEALER WAS CONTACTED.

HONDA CRV ALLOWED THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN IT HADN'T BEEN PLACED FULLY IN PARK, IT WAS IN REVERSE. THE CAR THEN ROLLED INTO THE STREET AND WAS HIT BY A CAR WITH 2 PERSONS. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN REPRODUCED. HONDA SAID THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THIS PART.

THE CONSUMER WAS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING . SHE WAS BROADSIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND SEATBELT CAME OPEN AND SHE WAS INJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.TS *DT

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED, TH STEERING WHEEL WILL PULL RIGHT OR LEFT. DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTANTLY RIGHT AFTER TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. DEALER CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM, MENTIONED IT COULD BE AIR GETTING INTO SYSTEM. TS

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE ENGINE STALLED. I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE AND RESTART CAR. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING TO OTHERS AND HAVE NO FIX AT THIS TIME. HONDA LOOKING INTO IT IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE EXPRESSWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. DEALER RESPONSE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DT

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.*JB

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. I HAVEN'T HAD ANYMORE PROBLEMS WITH IT, BUT IT WAS ONLY 4 DAYS AGO. I HAVE BEEN READING OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GONNA BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. AS FOR THE BRAKES. I KEEP HEARING A POPPING NOISE EVERY TIME I BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER, BUT AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, I AM GOING TO DO THIS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DEDICATED HONDA LOVER AND I AM DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR ABOUT ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED WITH MY HARD EARNED MONEY. DT

THE DRIVER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY IN MY 2002 HONDA CRV WHEN MY FRONT END CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A PICK UP TRUCK THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING 45 BEFORE IMPACT SO AFTER BREAKING, ESTIMATE 35-40 MPH WHEN I HIT. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AGAIN, MY DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR. I FRACTURED MY STERNUM, A MODERATELY SERIOUS INJURY THAT 2 DOCTORS TOLD ME DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE DUE TO AIRBAGS. MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON 6 MONTHS AGO. KNOWING THAT WAS A SAFETY WARNING WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE, WHICH THEY REPLACED. THEY THEN CLEARED THE SRS LIGHT AND IT HAS NOT COME BACK ON. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND THEY SAID THOSE ARE FINE. I'VE BEEN TO 3 LAW FIRMS. THEY ALL SAID IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED AS THE DIAGNOSTICS DICTATED AND THAT I JUST WASN'T INJURED ENOUGH TO TAKE ON HONDA. IT WOULD COST A FIRM ROUGHLY $100K OVER 2 YEARS TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND "ONLY" A FRACTURED STERNUM AND 4-6 WEEKS OFF WORK WOULDN'T PAY OUT ENOUGH TO COVER ATTORNEYS FEES. THEY ALL SAID A PERSON NEEDS TO BE PARALYZED OR DEAD TO BE WORTH TACKLING A BIG CORPORATION. I CALLED HONDA. THEY SAID SOMETIMES ONLY 1 AIRBAG GOES OFF DEPENDING ON HOW THE CAR IS HIT AND WHILE THEY CARE, THEY DON'T DO INVESTIGATIONS. I REQUESTED AN AIRBAG INVESTIGATION FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY NOTED THAT REQUEST AS PART OF THE SUBROGATION PROCESS. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IF FRACTURED STERNUM ARE AN INJURY OF THE PAST BECAUSE AIRBAGS PREVENT THAT INJURY, AND THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO FRACTURE MY STERNUM, THEN THE FORCE OF THE FULL FRONTAL IMPACT WAS ENOUGH TO TRIGGER BOTH AIRBAGS. IT'S FORTUNATE I WAS ONLY GOING 35-40 AND NOT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR MY HUSBAND WOULD BE ABLE TO FILE A LAWSUIT. HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND THINKING THEY ARE PROTECTED? I LOVED MY CRV . I'D LIKE TO GET ANOTHER, BUT I'M AFRAID. *TR

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN HIT IN THE FRONT CENTER OF THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURIES TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED TS

THE REASON FOR THIS REPORT IS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. MY ENGINE JUST DIED AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. I COASTED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT IN A FASTER LANE OF THIS FOUR LANE INTERSTATE, AS THIS COULD HAVE VERY WELL CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER I WAS STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER MY IGNITION WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. I TRIED TO RESTART MY ENGINE AND IT STARTED SO I PROCEEDED ON. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER PLUS TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND POSSIBLY BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED AN AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITE FORUM AND NOTICED A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR DEALERS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, EITHER. HAS ANYONE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA BEFORE? DT

THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. DEALER HAD BEEN CONTACTED. MR. TECHINICIANS FROM JAPAN WERE SENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER ALSO EXTENDED 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON ENGINE. *TT *JB

AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILURE. A SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT THIS LOCKS UP THE COMPRESSOR PULLEY AND POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE BELT. REPLACED BY HONDA.*AK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR LEVER OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FORCE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCING POPPING NOISES COMING FROM BRAKE SYSTEM, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THIS NOISE WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE NEW DIGITAL BRAKING SYSTEM. MR *NLM

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEWOUT, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE MEDIAN AND BECAME AIRBORNE (ROLLING OVER SEVERAL TIMES) ABOUT 4-5 MORE TIMES ON THE GROUND, HIT A SEMI-TRUCK TRAVELING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FINALLY COMING TO A REST. ALSO, WITH THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT ON THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY THE DRIVER SIDE, IT WOULD SEEM TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE SIDE AIRBAGS, YET THE SAFTEY FEATURE DID NOT PERFORM, BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T. *SCC

ORIGINAL TIRES ON A HONDA CRV 2002 P20570R15. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE LEFT REAR TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT. NLMVEHICLE IS A HONDA TRUCK CRV 2002. JLG

TAKATA RECALL REIMBURSEMENT

REAR SUSPENSION ARM MOUNTING BUSHING IS INADEQUATE AND CAUSED THE ARMS FLAT END TO LOCK INTO THE ASPHALT WHEN IT BROKE FREE FROM ITS SPLIT PIN RESTRANTS WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VAULT AND FLIP OR RIP OFF THE REAR WHEEL ASSEMBILY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL PUMP WAS DISLODGED AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH TURNING AXLE. COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FUEL LEAK AND VEHICLE FIRE. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP.*AKTHE BRACKET NEARLY CUT THROUGH THE PLASTIC FUEL CANISTER. LIGHT CONTACT WITH SAND WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE BEACH DISPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY REAR WARD INTO THE REAR AXLE. *JG

HONDA HAS INSTRUCTED THEIR TECH REPS TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT, IT STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. HONDA INSISTS THAT THIS IS DUE TO PITCH IN THE ROAD. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH TEST VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN.*AK

WHILE I WAS SHOPPING, MY PARKED CRV POPPED OUT OF GEAR, GOING FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL. IT THEN ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. I LEFT MY CRV IN PARK, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE REMOVED THE KEY UNLESS IT WAS IN PARK. HONDA READILY AGREES THIS TO BE THE CASE. HONDA HAS TORN MY CAR APART, SEARCHING FOR THE CAUSE, AND COME UP WITH NOTHING. SUBSEQUENTLY, I HAVE SEEN MANY NEWS REPORTS OF HONDA'S "POPPING" OUT OF GEAR, AND I AM AFRAID. I DRIVE A TREACHEROUS MOUNTAIN/CANYON ROAD TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY; I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN ON THAT ROAD, FOR ALL REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENS. I AM THANKFUL THAT MY CRV WAS PARKED WHEN IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR.

CRV NOTICEABLY & CONTINUOUSLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHEN DRIVING AT CONSTANT OR VARIOUS SPEEDS & ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS 'PULL' IS NOT THE INITIAL TORQUE PULL THAT IS COMMON TO FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES. THE HONDA DEALER RECOGNIZES PROBLEM & USING SOLUTIONS MADE BY HONDA TECH LINE COULD NOT FIX PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL SERVICE ATTEMPTS. ALTHOUGH CRV HAS BEEN ALIGNED TO HONDA SPECS (3 TIMES), HAD THE FRONT TIRES SWITCHED & EVENTUALLY HAD ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED, THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT IN 3-4 SECONDS. THE HONDA SPEC IS 6 SECONDS. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE I HAVE TO ALWAYS FIRMLY PULL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR IN ITS DRIVING LANE. HONDA HAS STATED TO ME THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT SENSITIVE TO ROAD CROWN.*AK

DRIVER SEAT BUSHING, SEAT ROCKS SINCE NEW, WITH IN FIRST MONTH OF OWNING DEALER NOTIFIED, THEY SAID THE ROCKING WAS NORMAL. FOUND NHTSA CMOAIN #02V251000, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.

WHILE DRIVING SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, WHICH INDICATES THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE, IT SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN. HAD VEHICLE SERVICED, BUT PROBLEM REOCCURRED. *AK.

FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT MY CRV I NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL PULL TO THE RIGHT AT ALL TIME. I SEND IT BACK 3 TIMES AT THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AND IT IS PERFECT, THEY SWITCHES THE TIRES AND IT STILL THE SAME, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NATURAL TO ALL CRV DUE TO THE TORK DRIVE SYSTEM DESIGN. THE LAST TIME I SEND IT BACK TO MY DEALER HE DRIVES IT AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I TOOK A VIDEO WITH ME AND SHOW IT MANY TIME TO THE MANAGER OF HONDA, THE CRV PULL TO THE RIGHT AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. I COULD NOT TRUST TO DRIVE THIS DANGEROUS CAR WITH MY 9 MONTH OLD SON. *AK

WHILE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH STEERING WHEE PULLED TOWARDS THE RIGHT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND WALKED AROUND TO BACK TO OTHER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND OPENED DOOR ON PASSENGER'S SIDE, AND VEHICLE BEGUN TO ROLL BACK. IT ROLLED OUT OF GARAGE, DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET, AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, CRASHING INTO SOME TREES. THIS CREATED ABOUT 10,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE.*AK

MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULDN'T START IT AND HAD TO TOWED IT DOWN TO DEALER. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT HAPPENED IN THE HIGHWAY. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT WILL BE HAPPEN IF IT STALLS AGAIN IT THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WHERE EVERY ONE DRIVES SO CLOSE AND HIGH SPEED. I DRIVE ABOUT 150 MILES EVERY WORKDAY FOR MY JOB AND MOSTLY IN THE HIGH WAY. I ALSO TRAVEL AT NIGHT. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY LIFE AND LIFE OF MY FAMILY MEMBER. AND I BELIEF THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE .I TRIED TO TALK TO THE COMPANEY AND ALSO WROTE THEM A LETTER BUT IT SEEMS THERY ARE NOT GIVING IT ANY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR OBVIOUS ECONOMIC REASON. I HOPE YOU COULD HELP ME. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING TO REPAIR WHICH MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE WHATEVER IS THE REASON MAY BE IT IS STILL THERE.*AK

ME 2002 HONDA CRV HAS A DEFECT IN A MOTOR MOUNT. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS ANNOYING; WHEN I DRIVE ON BUMPY ROADS, THERE IS A "THUNKING" SOUND. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO AMERICAN HONDA. I 'VE TALKED TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY CANNOT REPAIR WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM HONDA.

PROBLEM STARTED APPROX 7500 MILES. I WAS GETTING LOUD POPPING NOISES FROM FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. OCCURRED WHEN BACKING UP / MOVING FORWARD ( CHANGING DIRECTIONS WHILE APPLYING BRAKES.) EVERY DAY GOT WORSE, YOU COULD HEAR NOISE FROM A DISTANCE OF +100'. HONDA HAS A BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THEY ARE DOWN PLAYING IT. THEY STATE IT IS A 'CLICKING NOISE'. IT IS NOT A 'CLICKING NOISE', I HAVE A LOUD POPPING, METAL TO METAL NOISE. TOOK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS 'DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS' AND MY CR-V NOISE WAS LOUDER THAN MOST. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE PADS (DEALER WORK ORDER INV#W70499) YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE METAL TIPS OF THE PADS WERE BANGING BACK AND FORTH AGAINST THE CALIPER BRACKETS. I MET WITH AMERICAN HONDA JUL 02 2002. IN SO MANY WORDS HE SAID HONDA IS STILL LOOKING INTO THE MATTER, SINCE THE 2002 MODEL IS TOTALLY NEW, IT COULD BE THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE TOO SMALL OR THE CALIPERS TOO BIG, SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG. AMERICAN HONDA REP. SAID THEY ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MATTER, BUT AT THIS TIME, REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS ARE THE ONLY THING THEY CAN THINK OF TO DO, HOPING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PADS ARE A FRACTION LARGER THAN THE ORIGINAL PADS. THE DEALER, AMERICAN HONDA AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED. IT IS A NOISE NOT DETECTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST PURCHASED, IT OCCURS WHEN YOU GET SOME MILEAGE ON THE BRAKE PADS. PLEASE ADVISE MORE INFORMATION AND CHECK INTO THIS DEFECT BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *AK

I OWN A HONDA CRV 2002 EX WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND ~12,000 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN IN OUR DRIVE WAY, THE EXACT SPOT. IT'S HARD TO START AFTERWARDS. SHE DOES START TO UNDO THE SEAT BELT RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR DIES. THIS IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. *JB

TIRE BLEWOUT WHILE GOING 70 MPH.*AK CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS NOT EQUIPMENT FAILURE. *TT

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 HONDA CRV ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65 MILE/HR, THE HOOD WAS POPPED UP SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGN. THE HOOD EVEN FLIPPED OVER MORE THAN 90 DEGREES AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE HOOD SMASHED INTO WINDSHIELD SO POWERFULLY, THE WINDSHIELD WAS TOTALLY DAMAGED. THE IMPACT WAS SO STRONG, ALL ITEMS INSIDE THE CAR WAS FLYING FREELY INSIDE THE CAR, SUCH AS SUNGLASSES, GARAGE GARAGE DOOR OPENER, PARKING DECAL. MY EYE WAS HIT BY GARAGE DOOR OPENER, I LOST MY LEFT EYES VISION TEMPORARY. THE WORST PART IS THE WHOLE FRONT WINDOW VIEW WAS BLOCKED OUT ENTIRELY BY THE HOOD. MY CAR LOST CONTROL ON HIGHWAY WITH 65 MILES SPEED FOR A FEW SECONDS, IT WAS THE MOST SCARY MOMENT IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. IT IS EITHER THE DEFECT PART OR INFERIOR DESIGN TO CAUSE THE HOOD TO HIT WINDSHIELD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULDNT HAPPEN AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FATAL, I HOPE YOUR OFFICE CAN TAKE ACTION ASAP TO AVOID ANY DEATH DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CR-V ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 65 MILE/HR, THE HOOD WAS POPED UP SUDDENDLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE HOOD EVEN FLIPPED OVER ENTIRELY AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD.

BESIDES, THE WHOLE WINDOW VIEW WAS BLOCKED OUT ENTIRELY BY HOOD, CAR WAS LOST CONTROL ON HIGHWAY WITH 65 MILE/HR FOR A FEW SECONDS.*AK

DEALER WAS UNABLE TO HOOK UP WIRING HARNESS ON TOW BAR THAT GOES UP TO THE MOTOR HOME. CONSUMER FEELS IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT TAIL LIGHTS ON TOW BAR. ALSO, IF A VEHICLE WEIGHS OVER 1000 POUNDS, IN SOME STATES, ITEM THAT IS BEING TOWED MUST HAVE BRAKES. BRAKES WERE NOT AVAILBLE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. *AK THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHSED WITH A CONTRACT AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO TOW BEHIND A MOTORHOME. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE AGREEMENT. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE REAR LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AS REQUIRED AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT WIRED. THE WIRE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE TOW VEHICLE BRAKES. THE MANAGER TOLD CONSUMER THAT HONDA WOULD NOT SPEND ANY MORE TIME OR MONEY ON A PROPER INSTALLATION. *JG1

CREAKING/POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING AREA, DRIVEWAY,BACKING IN/OUT, OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS - TOOK TO DEALER - THEY HEARD NOISE, HOWEVER, COULD NOT FIND A SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM - WITH OUR DESCRIPTION, AN INDEPENDENT ASE MECHANIC SAID COULD BE BROKEN BUSHING, METAL TO METAL. HE ALSO SAID EVEN IF YOU SPRAYED WITH SILICONE, IT WOULD NOT DO ANY GOOD.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE WILL START TO SHAKE AND THEN WHEN TRYING TO REACCELERATE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY IN MOVING. CONTACTED DEALER WHO NOTED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH COMPUTER IN VEHICLE.*AK *YH

THERE SHOULD BE A RUBBER FLAP OF SOME KIND TO CLOSE OF THE LARGE OPENING IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA WHERE THE STEERING RODS COME THROUGH TO THE WHEEL. THIS LARGE OPENING LETS WATER, MUD, SNOW & SLUSH SPRAY UP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COVERING THE ENGINE, BATTERY, BRAKE AND POWER STEERING FLUID CONTAINERS SO THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS DIRTY AND HARD TO CHECK FOR THE CORRECT LEVELS. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF MY DEALER SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, BUT THEY SAID THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS IS A BAD DESIGN, I MADE RUBBER FLAPS AND INSTALLED THEM MYSELF, THEY HELPED 100%. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN 2005 UNLESS THIS IS REMEDIED. *LA

THE SRS LIGHT WILL COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHILE THE CONSUMER IS DRIVING, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTED THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELTS IN THE VEHICLE. NLM

ENGINE SURGES WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN DIIES. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CAR SKIPS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 35 & 50 MPH. HAS CAUSED 3 NEAR ACCIDENTS MAINLY DUE TO BEING STARTLED. VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. HONDA HAS REPLACED COMPUTER AND OXYGEN SENSOR WITHOUT IMPROVING THE POOR PERFORMANCE. HONDA NOW TAKES THE OFFICIAL POSITION OF "THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS MODEL". I HAVE ASKED THAT THEY TAKE ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HONDA HAS REFUSED.

SRS SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON.THIS INDICATES IF VEHICLE IS IN A CRASH, AIR BAGS WILL BE INOPERATIVE. DEALER CONTACTED. CANNOT FIX PROBLEM.*AK

THE CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. WE USE TO GET ALMOST 320 MILES TO THE GALLON, WE ARE NOW DOWN TO 100 TO 180. THE CAR BUCKS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL. THE V-TEC DOES NOT WANT TO KICK IN ALL THE TIME ANYMORE. LOSS OF POWER. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THE A/C UNIT WENT OUT LAST JULY AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT SINCE. WE SPENT $100 ON SPARK PLUGS THAT WE WERE TOLD WOULD FIX THE FUEL PROBLEM, THAT HAS NOT CHANGED. WE ARE NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS WE HAVE TO FIND THEM OURSELVES. *JB

DRIVING AT 65 MPH, MY 2002 HONDA CRV LOST TOTAL CONTROL AND UNCONTROLLABLY JERKED TO RIGHT AND LEFT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND ENDED UP SPINNING COMPLETELY AROUND. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE JERKING AND SPINNING STOPPED WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. THEN WHEN STARTING THE CAR AGAIN IT WOULD NOT RUN IN 2ND, 4TH OR 5TH GEARS. IN THOSE GEARS THE CAR JERKED FORWARD (AT LEAST IT WAS IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION). I DROVE IN 1ST AND 3RD GEARS ONLY. THE HONDA MECHANIC IN KALISPELL MONTANA WHERE I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SAID THAT A FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX THAT HAD TO WITH THE "LOAD" HAD COME LOOSE AND THEREFORE CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY "MALFUNCTION." ONE FUSE CAN CAUSE SUCH AN EXPERIENCE MUST BE AN ENGINEERING FLAW. *LA

CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW HOW CAN SHE VERIFY IF THE NECESSARY RECALL REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE TO HER VEHICLE PRIOR TO HER PURCHASING IT.*MR *NM
