2012 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOLLOWING USE OF ELECTRIC REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 30 DEGREES F, ACTIVE FREEZING DRIZZLE. STARTED THE ENGINE AND WITHOUT DELAY BEGAN DRIVING AND THEN TURNED ON REAR WINDOW ELECTRIC HEAT SWITCH TO IMPROVE REAR VISIBILITY, WHICH WORKED. I LEFT THE SWITCH ON UNTIL WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION ABOUT 8 TO 10 MINUTES LATER, PARKED THE CAR INSIDE A GARAGE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, EXITED, ALL VEHICLE WINDOWS SEEMED INTACT WHEN WE DEPARTED THE CAR. WE DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECT OR EXPERIENCE ANY IMPACT. WE WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE, THEN BY REMOTE CONTROL CLOSED THE GARAGE DOOR. NEXT MORNING I WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND DISCOVERED A LARGE HOLE IN THE REAR WINDOW, BROKEN GLASS THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR REAR OF THE CRV, ON THE FLOOR OF THE GARAGE AROUND THE REAR OF THE CAR, AND WHEN I OPENED THE OVERHEAD GARAGE DOOR, DISCOVERED BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER THE GROUND AS MUCH AS SIX FEET OUTSIDE THE GARAGE DOOR, AS THOUGH THE FORCEFUL WINDOW BREAKAGE HAD OCCURRED IN THE FEW MINUTES AFTER WE LEFT THE CAR AND BEFORE THE GARAGE DOOR HAD CLOSED. HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY DO NOT WORK ON WINDOW GLASS. THE COMMERCIAL WINDOW GLASS TECHNICIAN WHO REPLACED THE WINDOW STATED THAT THIS WINDOW HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT HEAT NOR DEFROST DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DUE TO HEATER CORE PROBLEM. IT'S GETTING WORSE EACH WINTER. I NOW NEED TO DRIVE WITH A BLANKET! ALSO, EXTREMELY LOUD GRINDING NOISE UPON COLD START. STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND IS REALLY CONCERNING.

FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR, GRINDING NOISE ON STARTING THE CAR EVERYDAY IN THE MORNINGS. DEALER HAVE A $600.00 ESTIMATE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND NOT COVERED UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

THE DRIVER SIDE DEFROSTER WILL NOT BLOW HOT AIR. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN ORDER TO HAVE PROPER VISIBILITY DURING WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN THE WEATHER SUDDENLY CHANGES WHILE DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD STARTS TO FROST OVER. THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER PERFORMED TSB 14-063 WHICH FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE WITH CLR AND FRESH WATER. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING EXTREMELY HOT AIR, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE IS COOL. THIS TSB WAS ISSUED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 FOR A 2012 VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY A HEATER CORE SHOULD NOT BE CLOGGED WITH CONTAMINANTS AFTER 2 YEARS WHILE RUNNING APPROVED HONDA ANTIFREEZE IN THE COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM. THE TSB ALSO EXPLAINS TO THE TECHNICIAN HOW TO CHECK FOR PROPER MOVEMENT OF THE MIXTURE DOOR FOR FRESH AIR. HONDA SAYS THAT THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO PAY FOR A HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT WITH A COST OF OVER $1200. IF THIS HAS BEEN A LONG-TERM WELL-KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA THEY SHOULD PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURERING ISSUE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH GREATLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY IN WINTER, WHICH CAN ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE IF THE WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE DEFROSTED. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR HOURS, THE DRIVER SIDE STILL BLOWS COOLER AIR UNLIKE THE PASSENGER SIDE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL WHEN IT LOCKED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND HESITATED TO MOVE. WHEN FUEL WAS ADDED, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AND DRIVE NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA KINGSPORT (LOCATED AT 2217 E STONE DR, KINGSPORT, TN 37660, (423) 358-2519) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CHANGED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PERFORMED AN UPDATE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO HONDA KINGSPORT AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,500.

THERE IS A BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL NOT KEEP IT CHARGED. THE ALTERNATOR HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED EARLY. BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON BECAUSE IT JUST CAN'T KEEP CHARGED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE CALLED ME FROM A PARKING LOT MILES AWAY FROM MY LOCATION WITH A DEAD BATTERY. I DON'T LIKE HER DRIVING WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MULTIPLE BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY A "FIX" FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT SOME ONLINE REPORT THAT IT DOES NOT WORK. I REALIZE HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO DO A RECALL UNLESS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE; HOWEVER, IF MY WIFE IS STRANDED SOMEWHERE BY HERSELF IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE RUNNING LIGHTS TURN OFF BY THEMSELF.

HEAT ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE DOES NOT BLOW OUT HOT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH THE 2012-2014 HONDA CR-V. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL. EXPECT MORE OUT OF A HONDA WITH 65,000 MILES! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DEFROSTER WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINDOW....

THE 2012 HONDA CRV HAS STARTED TO VIBRATE IN THE FRONT END. I HAVE HAD THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND TIRES CHECKED. NOTHING IS REPORTED FOUND AS AN ISSUE. IT STARTS TO VIBRATE AT RANDOM SPEEDS AND WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS IT STOPS. ONLY THEN CAN YOU RE-ENGAGE THE GAS PEDAL. I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY BECAUSE OF THIS.

1) WATER LEAKING IN THE TRUNK FROM THE TETHER COMPARTMENT AND GETTING BACK TRUNK WET 2) WATER LEAKS IN THE TRUNK AREA WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN THROUGH THE CAR WASH UNSURE IF THIS WOULD BE A WORKMANSHIP ISSUE

DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT WAS BLOWING SLIGHTLY WARM WHILE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HOT HAD TO PAY OVER300 TO GET THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED WHEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE MODELS WAS SOLD THIS WAY FROM A HONDA DEALER THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE WINDOW IS UNABLE TO CLEARLY DEFROST THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

AT 40 MPH VEHICLE RUMBLES. IT ALSO FEELS ROUGH RIDE, FEELS BUMPY ON A SMOOTH ROAD. ALSO GIVES AT IDLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THIS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME BUT IT HAS BEEN RESCINDED. ROSS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS

THIS CHRONIC ISSUE STARTED WITH A SLOW CRANK AND THEN A NO START AND AAA REPLACED THE BATTERY ON 3/6/16. TWO WEEKS AGO ON AUGUST 23RD THE CAR WOULD NOT START IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND THEN HAD AAA TEST THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE CHARGING SYSTEM, LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR AS IT WAS CHARGING THE BATTERY INTERMITTENTLY. THEY JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AT BILL PAGE HONDA. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN WARRANTY AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ON SEPTEMBER 6TH THE CAR HAD A SLOW CRANK AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 7TH THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO HONDA AND THEY ARE PRESENTLY INSISTING THAT THE ISSUE IS A DEAD BATTERY. HOWEVER, IF THE BATTERY WAS FINE TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO BE WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM, IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE CONCERN IS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT THE SYSTEM THAT REGULATES THE ALTERNATOR'S CHARGING OF THE BATTERY ITSELF. THE VEHICLE IS IN WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER BE IN WARRANTY WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN IF THE BATTERY IS JUST REPLACED (I AVERAGE ABOUT 2 YEARS ON A BATTERY). ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION AND ALL OTHER THINGS MUST BE RULED OUT BEFORE YOU CAN DETERMINE THE ACTUAL CAUSE.

RATTLE NOISE ON COLD START UP. VTC ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER 10;000 MILES. FROM MY READING AND SPEAKING TO SEVERAL AUTO MECHANICS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA OF AMERICA HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM ADEQUATELY. I THINK A RECALL OF THIS ENGINE OR AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE REQUIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED PAST 40 MPH, THE VIBRATION DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,800.

TAKATA RECALL...WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE @ 30MPH MY CAR STARTS TO MAKE THIS WEIRD NOISE ALMOST LIKE THE NOISE IS WHEN YOU VEAR OFF THE ROAD AND HIT THE BUMPS.I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2018 AND ASKED WHAT GAS WAS I USING AS SOON AS I MENTIONED WALMART AND RACETRAC HE STATED THATS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND I NEEDED TO BRING IT IN FOR A CHECKUP.I MADE SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS ON THEIR WEBSITE ,1 SAT APPOINTMENT THAT I HAD TO RESET TILANOTHER SAT APPOINTMENT THEN I GOT A CALL STATING THAT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING THEY NEEDED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN DURING THE WORK WEEK HOURS TO HAVE MORE TIME.NOTHING EVER MENTIONED ABOUT THE POWER TRAIN OF THE VEHICLE.AT THIS TIME I HAD ABOUT 72,000 MILES UNDER 80,000 I COULD NOT AFFORD THE FEE THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME AT THE TIME SO I CANCELED THE APPOINTMENT. NOW I HAVE THE MONEY TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER AND WHEN THIS NICE GUY PICKED UP THE PHONE HE LETS ME KNOW THEY ARE INDEED HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I NEED TO GET IT IN ASAP TO BE PUT ON THE COMPUTER FOR AN UPDATE THAT IS COVERED UNDER MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 80,000 MILE..ARE YOU SERIOUS!! OF COURSE I AM NOW AT 90,000 MILES.I INFORM HIM THAT I READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT THEY HAD THAT DONE AND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM,HE THEN SAID WELL THE 2ND PART WOULD BE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER OR YOU SERIOUS.....SO NOW THAT I AM OVER THE MILAGE FOR THE WARRANTY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS BUT HAD I BEEN TOLD THIS BACK IN AUGUST IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED.BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS BUT YET SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET..IS HONDA TRYING TO COVER THIS PROBLEM UP?

VTC ACTUATOR: LOUD RATTLING NOISE UPON COLD START-UP STARTED AT APPROX 75K MILES. CAR IS STATIONARY. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND GIVEN A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH EACH TIME. IN FACT DEALER TOLD ME IT MAY HAVE BEEN MY IMAGINATION BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SOUND IN SHOP. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES 2 MONTHS AGO. BECAUSE THE SOUND PERSISTED AND SEEMS LOUDER IN FACT, I LEFT MY CR-V AT DEALER'S OVERNIGHT, SOUND WAS HEARD AND DUPLICATED FIRST THING IN THE AM. THEN I GET A DIAGNOSIS OF THE VTC ACTUATOR FAILURE AT A REPLACEMENT COST OF $849. IN ADDITION, MY TIMING CHAIN COVER IS NOW MYSTERIOUSLY LEAKING OIL, COSTING $748 FOR REPAIR. I WONDER IF THE CONSTANT RATTLING OF THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL ACTUATOR AIDED IN THIS ISSUE. ACCORDING TO PUBLISHED TSB AND ONLINE COMPLAINTS, HONDA HAS KNOWN OF VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM/SAFETY ISSUE SINCE 2012 WHICH MEANS THE HONDA TECHNICIANS WERE AWARE PRIOR TO MY CONSTANT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT, MY WARRANTY EXPIRING, AND AN ENORMOUS COST FOR REPAIRS. ANYTHING LESS THAN AN OFFICIAL RECALL FORCING HONDA TO REPLACE PART FOR WORKING ONE AT NO COST TO VEHICLE OWNER IS A LACK OF INTEGRITY, DECEITFUL DEALINGS AND UNFAIR TO HONDA LOYAL CONSUMERS.*DT

PRIOR TO ACCIDENT, VEHICLE HAD NO ISSUES AND WAS SERVICED ROUTINELY. THERE WERE 2 INDIVIDUALS IN THE CAR AND ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON A TWO LANE STATE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES FROM RESIDENCE. THE WEATHER WAS HOT AND SUNNY ON THE MID-AFTERNOON OF THE ACCIDENT. DRIVER NOTICED SPUTTERING IN THE CAR AND DECIDED TO U-TURN TO RETURN TO RESIDENCE. AS DRIVER CONTINUED, SPUTTERING WORSENED AND SOMEBODY DROVE ALONGSIDE AND YELLED THAT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE LEAKING GAS. VERY SOON AFTER, WHILE CAR WAS DRIVING AT 5MPH, THE CAR HAD AN EXPLOSION AND FLAMES CAME THROUGH THE PASSENGER WINDOW. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE BURNED AND MEDEVAC'D TO LOCAL BURN CENTER. PASSENGER RECEIVED SEVERE 2ND AND 3RD DEGREE BURNS ON UPPER HALF OF BODY. DRIVER ALSO RECEIVED BURNS BUT NOT AS SEVERE. EACH MANAGED TO EXIT VEHICLE BEFORE THE BEING ENGULFED BY FLAMES. VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNREPAIRABLE AND DESTROYED. FIRE MARSHAL REPORT AS FURTHER DETAILS ON POSSIBLE ORIGINS OF THE CAR FIRE.

Details can be found in Service Bulletin 15-086. Shudder in vehicle steering wheel would make it harder to control. Metal shavings in ATF fluid from transmission grinding. Software update required to repair issue at the cost of owner.

HONDA 2012...BLACK DEATH. 78000 MILES. TOTAL FAILURE OF AC SYSTEM. MUST HAVE AC IN SUMMER. WHY HAS HONDA NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE OVER PAST NUMBER OF YEAR.S AND HONDA SAYS NOTHING IS BEING PAID BY THEM. YES, NOTHING COVERED. CONSUMER MUST PAY OVER $3,000 TO REPAIR.

BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM RECALL. BATTERY DEAD LEFT LIGHT ON 3 MINUTES, IGNITION OFF. NOTHING ELSE ON.

GRINDING NOISE UPON COLD START. THIS ISSUE STARTED AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO. DID NOT HAPPEN ON EVERY START. ASKED DEALERSHIP WHAT IT MIGHT BE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. OVER THE PAST YEAR, NOISE HAPPENS RELIGIOUSLY EVERY TIME THERE IS A COLD START. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR AND I AM NOW PAST MY WARRANTY. IT APPEARS THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED MARCH 2016. WHY HAS NO RECALL BEEN MADE SINCE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE?

ENGINE- PURCHASED CAR IN AUG 2013 IN WINTER THAT YEAR I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AT MORNING STARTS WHEN IT WAS COLD. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER SERVICE WHO SAID IT WAS PROBABLY VTC ACTUATOR. HAD TO BRING IT BACK AND LEAVE OVER NGHT SO THEY COULD HEAR IT IN AM. OF COURSE THE NIGHT I TOOK IT WASNT COLD ENOUGH NEXT AM TO MAKE NOISE. TOOK IT 3 OTHER TIMES SINCE ALL TO HONDA DEALER PLUS REPORTED IT EACH TIME I TOOK IN FOR SERVICE. NEVER ABLE TO HEAR NOISE BECAUSE TOO WARM. STILL MAKING NOISE TODAY, 5 YEARS LATER. WARRANTY EXPIRED. VERY AGGRAVATING. ELECTRICAL- BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 5 YEARS, THIS YEAR IT WAS IN JANURARY. SOMETHING IS DRAINING IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EVEN TURNED OFF AND NOT RUNNING. LIGHTS HAVE NEVER BEEN LEFT ON TO RUN BATTERY DOWN. EACH TIME I HAVE TO GET A NEW BATTERY THE SALES PERSON SAYS THE BATTERY IS TOO NEW TO BE DRAINED ALREADY AND THERE MUST BE SOMETHING DRAINING IT. HONDA DEALER SAYS THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE THERE WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT THE FIRST 2 TIMES I TOOK IT THERE THE THIRD TIME I DIDNT WASTE MY TIME GOING THERE.

INTERNAL FAILURE OF PASSENGER SIDE WEIGHT SENSOR CAUSING AIRBAG LIGHT TO BE ON IN HONDA CR-V. DEALER HAS STATED WITHOUT $1600 OF REPAIR TO WEIGHT SENSOR/SEAT FRAME, NONE OF THE CAR'S AIRBAGS WOULD BE OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAT 50,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOT EVEN A BUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENTER THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FOB FAILED TO ELECTRONICALLY OPEN THE DOOR. THE DEALER (LUNDGREN HONDA OF AUBURN, 163 WASHINGTON ST, AUBURN, MA 01501, (855) 230-0305) DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION IF THE KEY FOB AND A SECOND KEY NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. .*BF *JB

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I DEPRESS THE EX THE CAR VIBRATES , AND FEELS LIFE IF IT WILL CUT OF NO ONE CAN FINE THE PROBLEM AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS , AND NO CODES COME UP WHEN SCAN

WHILE DRIVE 40MPH, AN ABRUPT DECISION TO TURN INTO A BUSINESS DRIVEWAY WAS MADE. IN THE ACT OF REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE RPM IS REDUCED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. I EXPERIENCED A FAULT LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR THE STEERING EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) SYSTEM AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOMENTARILY LOCKED IN POSITION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN. IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY, I WOULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH THEM. WHILE TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM IN THE SAFETY OF A PARKING LOT, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE STEERING WILL TO LOCK UP REPEATEDLY WHILE NOT MOVING, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND A/C ON. EACH ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW RPM WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE RESULTED IN A FLASH OF EPS STEERING FAULT WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP PREVENTING ME FROM STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS INSTEAD OF JUST BECOMING HARD TO STEER. I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH CLEANING OF THE BATTERY TERMINALS.... THE EPS POWER STEERING REQUIRES A LOT OF ELECTRIC POWER. THE FUSE BOX HAS A 70AMP FUSE FEEDING POWER TO THE EPS. AT LOW RPM, THE ALTERNATOR WILL NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH POWER TO OPERATE EPS, SO THE POWER MUST COME FROM THE BATTERY. MY BATTERY WAS INSTALLED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DID NOT APPLY BATTERY CORROSION PROTECTOR TO THE TERMINALS IN NOVEMBER 2016. THE CORROSION THAT DEVELOPED CREATED A RESISTIVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PREVENTING THE HIGH CURRENT DRAW NEEDED FOR THE EPS FROM THE BATTERY. THIS CONDITION WILL ALSO HAPPEN IF THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY (ONE OF THE DIODES HAS FAILED) OR IF THE BATTERY DEVELOPS A FAILED CELL. HONDA SHOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE BY ALLOWING THE OPERATOR TO STILL USE THE STEERING WHEEL INSTEAD OF HAVING THE EPS SYSTEM LOCK THE WHEEL. THE FOLLOWING NHTSA COMPLAINTS MAY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. 10981511,11005158, 11065903,10979918,10910951

ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START UP. PER SERVICE BULLETIN THE VTC ACTUATOR IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH AN UPGRADED PART. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WILL NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AGAIN.

BAD VIBRATION IN POWER TRAIN WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY, AROUND 25-30 MPH AND AGAIN AROUND 42MPH.

WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING SEIZES, AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. ITS LIKE IF THE STEERING LOCKS UP. THE STEERING ICON APPEARS IN THE DASH UNTIL I STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN I TURN IT BACK ON, THE CAR IS NORMAL. I COULD'VE CRASHED ON THE FREEWAY!! THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALREADY.

WE HAD A DIRECT DEER HIT ON I81 NORTH IN GRANTVILLE PA. THE DIRECT HIT WAS TAKEN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT 65 MPH IN HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE AIRBAG ONLY DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS SEEMED VERY ODD TO US. EITHER BOTH AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED OR NEITHER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. PICTURES ARE ATTACHED. I REPORTED THIS TO AMERICAN HONDA, BUT THEY REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE IT AND I HAD TO BEG THEM FOR AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO SEND THE PICTURES TO. GIVEN THEIR ATTITUDE, I FELT I NEEDED TO REPORT THIS ACCIDENT TO NHTSA. MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY NEW JERSEY MANUFACTURER'S INSURANCE CO.

TAKATA RECALL, I KEEP HEARING THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ONE FOR MY AIR BAG.

THE DRIVERS'S SIDE HEATING VENTS PRODUCE LITTLE TO NO HEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT VENTS FUNCTION NORMALLY. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF BLOCKAGE IN THE HEATER CORE WHERE THE HEAT SHOULD BE ORIGINATING FROM. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES, EVEN AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FRO AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT, AND I DO WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE SETTLEMENT.

LOW HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR COMPARED TO PASSENGER SIDE CAUSED BY CLOG IN THE HEATER CORE. I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM/DEFECT. IT CAUSES SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER DEFROSTING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT DECREASES VISIBILITY IF SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE OVER 30 MINUTES TO LET THE CAR IDLE LONG ENOUGH TO DEFROST IN COLD WEATHER. NOT ONLY DOES IT WASTE GAS BUT IT IS NOW A FINEABLE OFFENSE TO LEAVE A CAR IDLING OUTSIDE YOUR HOME OR WORK WHERE I LIVE.

NO HEAT ON DRIVER SIDE VENTS. WILL NOT DEFROST DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD. VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR MY WIFE. HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED QUOTED $1,450 FOR REPAIR OF HEATER CORE ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 80,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. DEALERSHIP OFFERED NO HELP IN THE MATTER AND REFERRED ME TO CORPORATE. IF NO HELP FROM CORPORATE, THIS WILL BE THE LAST HONDA MY FAMILY WILL BUY. WE ARE, OR WERE A COMPLETE HONDA FAMILY AS EVERY MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY, (6) ALL DRIVE HONDA'S. HAS THEIR QUALITY OF VEHICLES DECLINED THIS MUCH. ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED!

EVERY MORNING FOR ALMOST OVER A YEAR I WOULD START MY 2012 HONDA CRY. IT WOULD RATTLE LIKE THE MUFFLER WAS LOOSE. I WOULD LAST UNTIL IT WAS WARM UP. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW LASTING LONGER. I HAD MY CAR SERVICE THIS SUMMER AND HAD MY TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER. THE NOISE NEVER DISAPPEARED. FOUND OUT THAT THE NOISE IS ACTUALLY VTC AND THERE US A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS. BUT, NOW MY CAR IS OVER THE MILES. WHAT CAN YOU HELP ME OUT WITH THIS? COMMUNICATION NUMBER: A09-010, DATE: 2017-02-25 CATEGORY: 060000 ENGINE (PWS) SUMMARY: SERVICE BULLETIN - AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. READ MORE AT: HTTPS://WWW.OBD-CODES.COM/TSB/2012/HONDA/CR_V/ COPYRIGHT OBD-CODES.COM

TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR DID NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO 20K MILES, THE REPLACEMENT ONES HAD 2 FLATS IN THEM. THE RUBBER IN OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR IS CRACKED, COMING OFF, INCLUDING AROUND THE DOORS, WINDOWS AND STEERING WHEEL. CAR IS PARKED AT MY HOUSE AND USED ON A 2 LANE ROAD ONLY. I BELIEVE THE RUBBER IS DEFECTIVE FROM HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. HONDA DEALER STATES IT'S BECAUSE OF THE SUN AND BECAUSE HAWAII IS HOT WEATHER-GIVE ME A BREAK-HAWAII WEATHER IS MILD YEAR ROUND.

TAKATA RECALL WITH NO ISSUES INVOLVED

CAR IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON CITY STREET, WHEN SUDDENLY ALL POWER IS LOST. ENGINE STILL RUNNING BUT NO POWER WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS LASTS FROM 5 TO 10 SECONDS. THEN SUDDENLY KICKS IN AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. TALKED TO HONDA ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAD AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON NOV 7 ON A BUSY CITY STREET. I WAS THE PASSENGER. MY HUSBAND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AT ABOUT THIRTY MPH OR LESS. THE POLE DIDN'T SPLIT BUT I SUSTAINED SERIOUS ENOUGH INJURIES TO BE MED-FLIGHTED TO A BOSTON DUE TO INTERNAL BLEEDING IN THE ABDOMEN AND A BROKEN WRIST , TWO CRUSHED FINGERS AND MULTIPLE RIGHT SIDE INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND HIT ME HARD. I ALSO HAD MY SEAT BELT ON PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT WHEN I CAME TO, MY SEAT BELT WASN'T SECURED. MY HUSBAND WAS THE DRIVER AND DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY INJURIES YET THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IN STEERING WHEEL NEVER CAME OUT NOR DID THE SEAT AIR BAG UPON IMPACT.

In the accident, side curtain airbags malfunctioned. They started to deploy but did not finish deploying. Pictures and incident report are available. The car was a total loss and was not returned to owner

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IN INTERVAL OF 4 YEARS OF PURCHASING THE CAR (BRAND NEW), WE HAVE INSULTED 4 BATTERIES. THE CONTINUES TO LEAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS STRANDED MANY TIMES. HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER , BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK.

CAR IS SHUDDERING WHEN I ACCELERATE-FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A PARTICULAR ROAD BUT CAR IS DOING IT ON MULTIPLE ROADS NOW AND MORE FREQUENTLY--ALMOST LIKE SKIPPING

DEFECTED AIRBAGS

EXPLODING SUN ROOF _ READ ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORT. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON SEPT.30 - OCT.1. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY A LOUD NOISE OCCURED AND AT THE TIME I THOUGHT SOMETHING FLEW UP FROM THE ROAD AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD.I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT UNTIL DRIVING HOME THE NEXT DAY ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I WAS HEARING A WHISTLING NOISE AND THEN AS I WAS PASSING A SEMI A VERY LOUD NOISE TOOK PLACE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED TWICE AND THE WHISTLING NOISE DISAPPEARED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION MY FRIEND AND I STARTED LOOKING THE CAR ALL OVER. WE FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT THE SUNROOF HAD BEEN HIT AND THAT THE LOUD NOISE WAS THE GLASS GIVING AWAY AND COMING OFF THE CAR. I DO DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED A SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING SUNROOF, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS THIS ALONG.

REAR BRAKE ROTORS SCORED EXTENSIVELY ON NEW VEHICLE AT 45,000 MILES. ONE PAD FROZEN IN PLACE AGAINST ROTOR. HAD ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. JUST EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM WITH NEW ROTORS AND PADS AFTER 19000 MILES. ONE PAD HAS 0% WEAR LEFT AND WAS FROZEN IN PLACE. ONE BRAKE CALIPER BOLT WAS INTERNALLY CORRODED. DEALER TECHNICIAN ATTEMPTED TO BLAME THE THREE MILES DRIVEN ON DIRT ROADS DAILY AS THE CULPRIT. CAR IS WASHED WITH UNDERBODY FLUSH ONCE PER WEEK. DOZENS OF OTHERS REPORT A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS. I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO EXCESSIVE NOISE COMING FROM REAR BRAKES. NEIGHBOR AND I REPLACED PADS AND CALIPER BOLTS. THE NEXT DAY I FELT SUFFICIENTLY COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND AGREED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR NO COST AND TO REFUND MY COST FOR PADS AND CALIPER BOLTS. SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THERE IS A DESIGN AND/OR MATERIAL FLAW WITH THE REAR BRAKES AND NOTED THE PROBLEM IS EVEN MORE FREQUENT IN THE CIVIC. INCLUDED PICTURE SHOWS CORRODED CALIPER BOLT.

THE VTC IS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE ON A COLD START UP. THIS STARTED OUT OF NOWHERE AND HAS NOT GONE AWAY. MY CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE AT HOME AND IS PARKED OUTSIDE AT WORK BUT WILL DO THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT.

GRINDING NOISE UPON COLD START. THIS ISSUE STARTED AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO. DID NOT HAPPEN ON EVERY START. ASKED DEALERSHIP WHAT IT MIGHT BE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. OVER THE PAST YEAR, NOISE HAPPENS RELIGIOUSLY EVERY TIME THERE IS A COLD START. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR AND I AM NOW PAST MY WARRANTY. IT APPEARS THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED MARCH 2016. WHY HAS NO RECALL BEEN MADE SINCE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE? CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT 3/ 2018 DID NOT INCLUDE THE CRV'S
