2012 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING---THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AND THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY SUBDIVISION ONTO THE MAIN STREET. THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING A CORNER AND WHILE TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT.---IT TOTALLY TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA SERVICE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT! THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON HIGHWAY 158-TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD--I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK OR KILLED---WHEN I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SAFE PLACE THE CAR TURNED OFF AGAIN FOR 10-15 MINUTES. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SENT A TOW TRUCK--HOPEFULLY THEY CAN REPAIR IT.---THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION TO HAVE HAPPEN--THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE TURN! IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING--AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON! THIS HAPPENED ON 7/10/17 AND 7/13/17

TRANSMISSION IS NOT GOOD TOO BAD

EVERY TIME I START A CAR I HEAR A GRINDING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN STOPS. THIS IS HOW IT SOUNDS LIKE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=KR20BAOXBO8 THIS HAPPENS TO HONDA CR-V'S AND ACCORDS WITH 2.4L 4 CYL. ENGINES. THE ISSUES KNOWN AS "VTC ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY" - HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM501009/SB-10041669-6712.PDF THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES ASSEMBLED BETWEEN 2010 - 2016 AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE. AS OF NOW HONDA IS NOT ADMITTING THAT THERE IS THE PROBLEM.

WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE HESITATES BEFORE ACCELERATING. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS CONDITION WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT.

I BOUGHT A USED CRV FROM THE DEALER IN MANCHESTER NH. IT IS NOT UNDER WARANTEE ANYMORE. THE VTC ACTUATOR IS BAD AND I NEED IT REPLACED. IT WAS RECALLED BY HONDA. THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS ONLY UP TO 60 K MILES. I BOUGHT IT WITH THAT MANY ON IT.

WIFE PULLED CAR INTO ATTACHED GARAGE, HAS STOPPED, NEEDED TO MOVE UP 1-2 FEET, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR SUDDENLY OVERPOWERED THE BRAKES, SMASHED A CABINET IN GARAGE, HIT INSIDE WALL, BROKE STUDS, AND MOVED OTHERS DAMAGE BOTH WALL IN GARAGE AND INSIDE HOME, THERE WERE MARKS ON GARAGE FLOOR PER INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID, NOT SKID MARKS INSTEAD IT WAS FROM FRONT WHEELS SPINNING AS IT PUSHED A CABINET INTO AND THROUGH 2 WALLS - TOOK TO DEALEER, HONDA CORPORATE WAS INVOLVED, BEFORE HONDA PEOPLE WE INVOLVED, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUALTION, (NOTE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED OTHER WAS PARKING IN OUTSIDE PARKING LOT, WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT BARELY) IT WAS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG, BY HONDA, CORPORATE, FACTORY REP NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO CALL US. WIFE WAS ACCIDENT FREE 50+ YEARS, SHE IS SHORT ABOUT 5 FOOT, DRIVES WITH RIGHT FOOT ONLY. THERE IS AN ENGINEER OR SOMEONE BACK IN 2012 ALREADY 136,000 REPORTED ACCIDENTS ACROSS ALL MAKES AND MODELS, SUV AND FOREIGN CARS WERE THE WORST, 92% WERE AT SLOW SPEED MOSTLY PARKING, THE ONE THING IN COMMON IS EVERYTHING IS ELECTRONIC, BATTERIES ARE SMALLER AND AT LOW SPEEDS ALL THE POWER BEING USED CAUSES A SPIKE TO THE COMPUTER, WHICH CONTROLS SPEED, NO CABLES OR RODS TO BE PUSHED ON GAS PEDAL ANYMORE, TO MAKE IT WORSE ANOTHER CAR SAME MODEL, YEAR, MAKE IN ON YOUR SITE AS ID 10794564 LOOK AT VIN # ALMOST IDENTICAL. WITH ALL THIS HAPPENING IT APPEARS THE MANUFACTURES ARE NOT BOTHERING TO FIND A COMMON CAUSE FOR THIS, SAVES THEM MONEY, BUT THE DAMAGES, INJURIES, AND DEATHS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND IN 10+ YEARS

3/31/12 CR-V PURCHASED 2/6//13 DEFECTIVE BATTER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTEE 1/12/14 RECALLED FOR SOFTWARE FOR BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 12/1/14 RECALLED FOR SOFTWARE FOR BATTERY LIFE 11/24/14 REPLACED BATTERY NOT UNDER WARRANTEE $139.84 5/5/17 REPLACED DEFECTIVE BATTERY UNDER BATTERY WARRANTEE 4 BATTERIES IN 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP THIS CAR IS NOT DEPENDABLE! ONE NEVER KNOWS WHEN IT MIGHT NOT START.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND HEAD LIGHT FREQUENT REPLACEMENY

POWER STEERING FAILED TWICE WITHIN 1 MILE (~3 MINUTES APART) OF STARTING CAR AND DRIVING 25MPH DOWN RESIDENTIAL STREET. IN BOTH INSTANCES CAR WAS GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. INDICATOR LIGHT RESET AFTER FIRST FAILURE AND RESTART THEN ~3 MINUTES LATER INDICATOR LIT AND POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. VSA MODULATOR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY THE DEALER (~4000 MILES AGO) TO REMEDY THIS RECURRENT ISSUE.

OUR HONDA CRV HAS A ROOF LEAK (BY THE ANTENNA) THAT HAS DAMAGED THE INSIDE HEADLINER THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TOTALLY REPLACED. THE LEAK IS PROBABLY CAUSING MILDEW GROW IN THE HEADLINER AND POSSIBLE ROOF CORROSION AS WELL. THIS MAKES US VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BREATHING AND HEALTH ISSUES IN GENERAL WHEN USING THE VEHICLE. WE ARE TOLD THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING / ASSEMBLY DEFECT AND HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE (YEARS), BUT WE JUST DISCOVERED IT IN APRIL 2017. UPDATED 08/23/17*LJ *CN

WHILE DRIVING CAR UP SLIGHT INCLINE, AND MINIMAL ACCELERATION, THE CAR VIBRATES, FEELING LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE CAR STUGGLES TO MOVE FORWARD REQUIRING MORE AGRESSIVE ACCELERATION TO STOP VIBRATION. THE VIBRATION HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS

THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON IN COLD WEATHER, USUALLY WHEN IT IS FIRST TURNED ON IN THE MORNING. I LIVE ON THE GULF COAST, SO IT REALLY DOESN'T EVEN GET THAT COLD DOWN HERE, BUT I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON MULTIPLE "COLD" MORNINGS (TEMPERATURES MAYBE IN THE 40S). I NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR, BUT IT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD.

THE BLUETOOTH COMPONENT HAS A HORRIBLE BACKGROUND NOISE. THE PERSON YOU'RE SPEAKING WITH IS UNABLE TO HEAR YOU. THIS TOTALLY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HANDS FREE DRIVING. THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAN BE FOUND WITH A BASIC GOOGLE SEARCH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN CONFIRMED TO ME DIRECTLY THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT AND PROBLEM, WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION TO. THEY STATED IT IS JUST PART THE TECHNOLOGY PROBLEMS WITH BLUETOOTH. I HAVE HAD BLUETOOTH EARBUDS IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM SO I FIND THAT REASONING UNACCEPTABLE.

2012 HONDA CR-V VTC ACTUATOR RECALL.....WHENEVER I START MY CAR I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. THE NOISE IS VERY ANNOYING IT MAKES LOUD LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED.

PROBLEM WITH COOLING SYSTEM. THE 2012-2016 CR-V MODELS HAVE ISSUES WITH THE HEATER CORE BECOMING CLOGGED, AND NOT GENERATING ENOUGH HEAT FOR PROPER DEFROSTING, DEFOGGING AND CABIN HEATING. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WIDE-SPREAD ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #14-063 (SEE ATTACHED) FOR FLUSHING OF COOLING SYSTEM, AT A COST TO THE CAR OWNER OF APPROXIMATELY $470.00. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY FACTORY-INSTALLED COOLANT (THIS IS NOT SCHEDULED TO BE REPLACED UNTIL 105K MILES). SINCE OUR CR-V STILL HAD THE FACTORY COOLANT AND ALL RELATED COMPONENTS, AND COULD BE SAFETY-RELATED DUE TO INEFFECTIVE DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING, SHOULD THESE BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL AT HONDA'S EXPENSE, AND THOSE OWNERS WHO PAID FOR THIS TO BE CORRECTED BE REIMBURSED?

PLEASE RESEARCH THIS ISSUE WITH 2012 HONDA CR-V'S AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE: THE VEHICLE SHAKES, VIBRATES OR WOBBLES WHEN ACCELERATING IN LOW GEARS. IT STOPS WHEN EASING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) BETWEEN THE 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS BY REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL OR ACCELERATING CAR QUICKLY TO HIGHER SPEED. THE ISSUE AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO SAFELY ACCELERATE TO PROPER SPEED. BEGINS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL CAR REACHES ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HOUR. OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF ROAD CONDITIONS BUT IS VERY PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AT THE HONDA OF THE AVENUES AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS RESOLVED. IT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED AND I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING SO I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO TAKE IT BACK. I AM UP TO DATE WITH ALL MY OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2012 HONDA CRV AS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE ARE COMPLAINING ONLINE. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL SERVICE.

CAR VIBRATES OR SHIMMIES AT LOW AND HIGH MPH HONDA SAYS THERE IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THIS IS NOT A RECALL. IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS IT WOULD NOT BE VERY SAFE ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2015

VERY LOUD RATTLE/GRINDING AT STARTUP. IT HAPPENS ALWAYS WHEN THE ENGIN COLD AND MORE FREQUENTLY JUST SITTING FOR AN HOUR. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT IS CAUSED BY THE VTC ACTUATOR. THEY HAVE A TSB BUT NO RECALL. EVENTUALLY A SERIOUS INJURY WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2013 AFTER IT WAS TAKEN TO HONDA. THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT, AFTER THAT THE WARRANTY RAN OUT.

I AM HAVING ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ED TO 3RD. WHAT I FEEL IS A SHUTTER AND IT SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE FLUID IS COLD. IT'S PRETTY INFREQUENT BUT IT'S THERE. AT 61K THE DEALER SAID "NO CODES, SO NO PROBLEM" AND SUGGESTED THAT A FLUID CHANGE IS NECESSARY. HE KIND OF MADE ME FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN NEGLIGENT, BUT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE CODE AND I KNOW IT USUALLY POPS UP ABOUT 60K. I USUALLY CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY 30K-35K MILES. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES SO ITS VERY COMMON. HONDA SAY THEY KNOW ABOUT IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO MAKE A REPAIR (TORQUE CONVERTER) ON WARRANTY BECAUSE I LOST IT AT 60K AND I HAVE 63K

THE VEHICLE SHAKES, VIBRATES OR WOBBLES WHEN ACCELERATING IN LOW GEARS. IT STOPS WHEN EASING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) BETWEEN THE 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS BY REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL OR ACCELERATING CAR QUICKLY TO HIGHER SPEED. THE ISSUE AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO SAFELY ACCELERATE TO PROPER SPEED. BEGINS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL CAR REACHES ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HOUR. OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF ROAD CONDITIONS BUT IS VERY PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE. *TR

THERE'S A GRINDING NOISE THAT FOLLOWS THE START OF THE ENGINE. THIS ISSUE BEGAN 2 YEARS AGO DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. TOOK IT TO HONDA TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RECREATE THE SOUND AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT'S NOW DOING IT ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO HONDA AGAIN, BUT I WILL WHEN I HAVE THE TIME AND MONEY TO FIX IT. INITIAL VIEWING OF THIS SITE SHOWS A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUE. HAVEN'T DONE ANY FURTHER RESEARCH TO SEE IF THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED OR HANDLED BY HOND. I WILL ONCE I FINISH THIS POST. HOPEFULLY, HONDA IS DOING OR WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.

AFTER OWNING FOR 5 YEARS, DURING WINTER MONTHS A LOUD RATTLE SOUNDED EACH AND EVERY TIME THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON. IT DID NOT MATTER IF ENGINE WAS COLD OR NOT. I TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID FOR $699 THEY WOULD TRY AND FIX BUT NO GUARANTEES AND COULD STILL EXIST. I SPOKE TO DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHO SAID IF I CONTINUED WITHOUT GETTING IT REPAIRED, IT COULD RUIN THE ENGINE. I CALLED THE CORP OFFICE TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT. I WAS FORCED TO SELL THE CAR. I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION

TSB 14-063 FAILURE OR PLUGGING OF THE HEATER CORE. NOT ALLOWING THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. IT IS 5 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THERE IS LITTLE/NO HEAT COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE VENTS, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE IS WARM. CONTINUALLY HAPPENING.

VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT. WITH HEATER CONTROL SET TO FULL HEAT AND ENGINE HOT DRIVER SIDE HEATER VENTS BLOW COLD AIR EVEN WHEN PASSENGER VENTS BLOW HOT AIR. RESULTS ARE POOR HEATING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS INEFFECTIVE DEFROSTING OF DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD. HONDA RECOGNIZES HEATER CORE FLAW AND RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT AS THE SOLUTION. NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AS MANY OWNERS REPORT IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLES.

HEATER IS BLOWING VERY COLD AIR (28 DEG) ON DRIVER SIDE, (130 DEG) ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CONDITION IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONERY, IT BECOMES MUCH COLDER WHEN IN MOTION. THERE WAS A TSB CREATED NOVEMBER 2014, REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN USING THE HEAT; THE DRIVER SIDE AIR VENTS HAVE COOL OR COLD AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS HOT AIR COMING FROM THE VENTS. THIS WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE BELOW ZERO TEMPS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE IS PLUGGED WHICH I FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH IS A COMPLAINT AMONG THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE 2012-2014 MODELS. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THIS ISSUE THROUGH A RECALL.

HONDA CRV HEAT STOPPED WORKING ON DRIVER SIDE AT 20000 MILES. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED HEATER CORE. THE CAR NOW HAS 60000 MILES AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN. HEATER CORE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. DID ONLINE RESEARCH AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN CRV HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND THE WEATHER TODAY WAS -5 DEGREES. I WAS UNABLE TO HEAT CAR WHICH CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS.

DRIVER SIDE HEATING AND AIR IS SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE ON ALL TEMPERATURE SETTINGS.

VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN STARTING IN COLD WEATHER

I WAS STOPPED AT A REDLIGHT WITH 4 CARS IN FRONT OF ME.MY CAR ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE & PUSHED ALL 4 CARS INTO EACH OTHER.LUCKY NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED .THIS HAS COST ME A LOT OF MONEY AND COULDN'T BE HELPED.HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS?

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE IN MOTION ~25MPH ON A CITY STREET. INDICATOR LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY FLASHED 2-3 TIMES AFTER POWER STEERING WAS LOST. COLLISION WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ALSO, THE DOORS WOULD RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES DISPLAYED FALSE READINGS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS COMPROMISED BY A CYBER-STALKER/HACKER FOR OVER 2 YEARS. THE RADIO STATION RANDOMLY CHANGES, THE COMPASS DISPLAY WAS INCORRECT, THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WOULD NOT OPERATE, AND THE CLOCK SWITCHED TO MILITARY TIME. *JS

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT PERIODICALLY WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT IT ALSO WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, SPEED OF CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS ANYWHERE 5-65 MPH. ALL FLUIDS ARE FULL IN THE CAR. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE ROADS HAVE BEEN NORMAL ( RAIN, DRY, HOT, COLD) . I HAVE GONE ON-LINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPENING AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPRESSING THE SAME CONCERNS WITH MO ONE TO HELP THEM. SOME HAD SAID THERE COULD BE A BUBBLE IN A HOSE CAUSING IT OR AN ISSUE WITH VSA ( ?) THIS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE

THE CAR IS A 2012 HONDA CR-V LX AWD. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE, HONDA TSB 14-063, LOW DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT. THE LOW DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT MAKES DRIVING IN THE SNOW DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HEAT TO ADEQUATELY DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL ALSO START TO ICE UP THE PASSENGER SIDE IS FINE. I MEASURED A 40 - 50 DEGREE F TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE FAR PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE VENTS USING A THERMOCOUPLE DISPLAY DEVICE. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY AND ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

VEHICLE FAILED TO START ONCE IN FIRST YEAR GRADUALLY INCREASED TO 1 WEEKLY. DEALER CHECK COULD FIND 0 TWICE-CAN'T FIND,CAN'T FIX. NOW W/60400 MI MUST JUMP FOR ANY START SINCE DEALER TESTED IT THIS WEEK. DLR WANTS TO DO FULL DIAGNOSTIC 2ND TIME AT MY EXPENSE. WASTE OF TIME GOING NOWHERE. HONDA INC SAYS WORK W/ DEALER WHICH SAYS CAN'T FIND PROBLEM AND IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. I CAN'T TRADE IT LIKE IT IS. HAVE HAD 9 NEW ACCORDS SINCE 1978 W/ NO MAJOR PROBLEMS. ESTABLISHED LOYALTY TO HONDA NOT CONSIDERED.IN MY CASE. DISAPPOINTED!

MY WIFE PULLED HER 2012 HONDA CR-V INTO A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY, PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, LEAVING THE ENGINE RUNNING. SHE EXITED THE CAR BRIEFLY THEN RETURNED, OPENING THE DOOR TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. STANDING OUTSIDE THE CAR BUT INSIDE THE OPEN DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SHE REACHED IN AND SWITCHED OFF THE IGNITION. THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD, KNOCKING HER TO THE GROUND, AND DRAGGING HER ABOUT 30 FEET DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ACROSS THE STREET. CAR CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT HIT THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET. A FIREMAN WHO ARRIVED FIRST ON THE SCENE VERIFIED THE CAR WAS STILL IN PARK. WIFE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE AND SUFFERED A BROKEN SHOULDER, SEVERE ROAD RASH INJURIES TO HER TORSO, AND OTHER BRUISES. THE CR-V DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS DAMAGE, NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE PROPERLY, AND HAS A PIECE OF BLACK PLASTIC MOLDING TORN AWAY FROM THE LOWER SECTION OF THE FRAME.

I HAVE A 2012 HONDA CRV - VIN: [XXX], WITH JUST A FEW MILES OVER 40,000 MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. TODAY, I TOOK IT TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC RAN ON IT. THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODES CAME UP: 71-21: "SHORT IN THE PASSENGERS FRONT AIRBAG OFF SWITCH" 43-22: "NO SIGNAL FROM THE LEFT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST)" B2-11: "NO SIGNAL FROM THE REAR SAFING SENSOR" ALTHOUGH, THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY RECALLS, IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF MY HONDA CRV, THERE OBVIOUSLY ARE ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. WHAT STEPS DO I NEED TO TAKE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER? I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY KIND OF RECALLS, NOR HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO FIND RESULTS, WHEN SEARCHING FOR RECALLS. PLEASE ADVISE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE GEAR SHIFT ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE MODE TO NEUTRAL OR "2" WITHOUT PRESSING THE GEAR RELEASE BUTTON. THIS CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND REMOVING A BOTTLED BEVERAGE AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS "BUMPED" WHILE DRIVING PUSHING THE HANDLE UP TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGH SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ACTUATOR (VSA) FAILED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. UNSURE WHAT IT MEANS, BUT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS I MAY HAVE A MALFUNCTION? I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS FOR THE 2012 HONDA CRV THOUGH. SHOULD I REPORT THIS TO MY DEALER AND/OR ARE THERE ANY RECALLS, THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF?

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SPEED ARE VERY INADEQUATE. WHEN SET TO THE FASTEST SPEED THE WIPERS DON'T WORK WELL. THE WIPERS TEND TO MOVE FASTER THE FASTER YOU ARE DRIVING. SITTING STILL WIPERS DON'T MOVE. WHEN IT IS RAINING HARD AND FAST THE WIPERS DO SUCH A POOR JOB IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE.

ENGINE RATTLES ON COLD START. TIES TO THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN 09-010 ISSUE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO SUBURBAN HONDA NOVI 7/18/2016 WHEN CAR MILEAGE WAS 59716. CAR WAS RETURNED INDICATING THIS ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. SERVICE BULETIN DATES BACK TO MARCH 17 2016. HOW DID SUBURBAN HONDA NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS THE ISSUE WHEN I FIRST REPORTED TO THEM ON 7/18/2016? TODAY 8/16/17 THIS ISSUE HAS COUMPONDED. EVERY TIME CAR IS STARTED AFTER KEPT IDLE OF MORE THAN AN HOUR THE RATTLE SOUND IS REAL LUD. LOCAL TECHNICIAN, PAUL'S AUTOMOTIVE SAID YESTERDAY, IT IS REAL IMPOARTANT IT BE LOOKED AT BY HONDA. SO TAKIN IT TO SUBURBAN HONDA TODAY 8/16/17.

ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START-UP - VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA DEALER (CRISWELL HONDA, GERMANTOWN MD) DOING THE MAINTENANCE SAYS THAT I HAVE GONE PAST THE WARRANTY. BUT I HAVE BEEN THERE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICE BEFORE AND MENTIONED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY DID NOT FIX IT OR EXPLAINED TO ME THE ISSUES. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $800 NOW FOR THIS. BASED ON CURRENT SEARCH IN GOOGLE, THIS IS WHAT I FIND. PLEASE HELP HONDA TSB NUMBER:A09-010.V4 NHTSA NUMBER:10087883TSB DATE:MARCH 17, 2016 FAILING COMPONENT: ENGINE (PWS) SUMMARY: SERVICE BULLETIN - REPLACE THE VTC ACTUATOR IF THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR 2 SECONDS DURING COLD START-UP.

COLD START -MAKE METAL TO METAL GRINDING SOUND. REPLACED STARTER WITH NO REMEDY.

OUR CAR STARTED VIBRATING DURING LIGHT ACCELERATION BETWEEN 20-30 MPH JUST OVER 40,000 MILES (WARRANTY). THIS VIBRATION IS VERY NOTICEABLE AROUND TOWN WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES! IF PUSHED HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN, FOR INSTANCE WHEN GOING ON THE FREEWAY. WE FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN #15-086 DATED AUGUST 18, 2016 THANKS TO OUR MECHANIC, CURRENTLY FEB. 2017. HOWEVER WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, WE WERE TOLD THAT HONDA HAS TAKEN THE SERVICE BULLETIN DOWN BECAUSE THEY FOUND THE RECOMMENDED SOFTWARE UPDATE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE A/T FLUID, WAS NOT FOUND TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SO HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND YET NO SOLUTION. SO HERE WE ARE STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT WE BOUGHT FOR THE HONDA BRAND AND YET IF WE WANT TO SELL IT, TEST DRIVING IT WILL REVEAL ITS MAJOR ISSUE AND WE WILL NOT GET BLUE BOOK VALUE FOR IT. BAD RETURN ON INVESTMENT. SO REALLY I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AROUND, VIBRATING ALL OVER TOWN, EVEN THOUGH MY FAMILY HAS NOW OUTGROWN IT, AND NOT BE ABLE TO UPGRADE FAIRLY TO A BIGGER CAR. I WANTED A PILOT, BUT HONDA'S LACK OF CONCERN OVER THIS APPARENT ISSUE DOES NOT INSTILL BUYERS TRUST IN THEM AGAIN. MORE LIKE BUYERS REMORSE.

REF: NHTSA ID #10084343 SURGE,VIBRATION OR JUDDER MAY BE FELT WHILE DRIVING UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 15-086 AND A15086) .HONDA CLAIMS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON RECALL LIST.VEHICLE STILL UNDER DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. DEALER WILL EVALUATE CONDITION ON JAN 9 2017 TO SEE IF WARRANTY WILL COVER SB 15.086. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RHINELANDER HONDA (1737 N STEVENS ST, RHINELANDER, WI 54501) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE BATTERY FAILED DUE TO AN AFTERMARKET PART THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY WAS NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERY WAS TAKEN TO AN INSTALLER OF THE AFTERMARKET STARTER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT PREVIOUSLY THE BATTERY FAILURE CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO PARK. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CONTACT WAS ALTERED BY THE CHILD OCCUPANT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED BACK. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE, BUT THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK TOO QUICKLY. THE CHILD OCCUPANT JUMPED OUT THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEIR RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THERE WERE THREE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM A HAIRLINE FRACTURE ON THE ARM. THE CONTACT ALSO WENT INTO EARLY LABOR DUE TO THE INCIDENT AND HAD AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION TO A CHILD BORN NINE WEEKS EARLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NEWBORN CHILD SUFFERED FROM DISABILITIES. THE CHILD OCCUPANT SUFFERED FROM A FOOT INJURY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V143000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE REASON FOR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY HONDA THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH HEATER CORES ON THESE CARS. HEATER WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME PLUGGED AND NOT WORK. HEAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER ON DRIVERS SIDE VENTS THAN PASSENGER SIDE. MY COMPLAINT IS WITHOUT HEAT TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD IN WINTER CONDITIONS IT WILL BECOME A VISIBILITY ISSUE DUE TO NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. HONDA IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, YET IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS THAT ARE OUT OF WARRANTY TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. I HAVE 46K MILES ON MY CAR AND AM HAVING HEATER CORE ISSUES? I NOTICED THE ISSUE EARLY ON AND IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. HAD I OF KNOWN WHAT IT WAS I WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA TSB NUMBER IS 14-063. TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL FROM PASSENGER SIDE TO DRIVER SIDE IN MY CAR IS 40+ DEGREES.
