2012 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

THE HEATER/DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE AS IT HAD IN THE PAST ON DECEMBER 6, 2013. PREVIOUS TO THAT DATE THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO COOL PROPERLY STARTING IN AUGUST, 2013. HAZY WHITE MATERIAL COATED THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD REQUIRING CONSTANT WIPING SO WE CEASED USING THE AIR. OVER A SEVERAL WEEK PERIOD IN FALL 2013 THE LEFT SIDE HEATER/DEFROSTER FAILED TO HEAT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FAILED REQUIRING US TO STOP THE CAR AND WIPE THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CABIN HEATER BLEW SOME HOT AIR AND SOME HOT AIR REACHED THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AT SCHAUMBURG HONDA LISTENED TO MY COMPLAINT AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES RETURNED TO TELL ME ALL OPERATIONS WERE NORMAL AND I NEEDED TO USE THE RECIRCULATION TO EQUALIZE CABIN TEMPERATURE. I IMMEDIATELY TRADED THE CAR SINCE THE WINDSHIELD WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST AND CABIN TO HEAT. SEARCH GOOGLE UNDER " HEATER ON CR-V DOESN'T WORK" TO SEE MULTIPLE STORIES OF SAME AN VIDEOS OF ATTEMPTS LIKE MINE TO WORK HEATER/DEFROSTER COMPLAINTS. *TR

UPON LEAVING WORK, WIFE HEARD A WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE SUNROOF, AS IF IT WAS OPEN. UPON SLIDING BACK THE COVER (SLIGHTLY), SHE NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED (WITH A BIG HOLE), AND BULGING OUTWARD OR TOWARD THE INTERIOR. SHE WAS NOT AROUND ANY OTHER VEHICLES SO IT IS UNLIKELY THE CAUSE WAS A BOUNCING ROCK OR PEBBLE. UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, THEY REFERRED US TO A LOCAL AUTO GLASS SHOP. UPON CALLING HONDA OF AMERICA, THEY REFERRED US TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. BY THE WAY, THE CAR IS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY. WHAT CAN WE DO? IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, SHOULDN'T IT? *TR

THIS CR-V SOMETIMES HESITATES TO CRANK. IT WILL CRANK AFTER THE 2ND TRY. IT ALSO HAS A VERY HIGH PITCH SOUND AT 55 MPH THAT IS VERY ANNOYING. *TR

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. REPLACED ONCE AND ONLY WORKED FOR ONE DAY. HONDA DEALERSHIP ORDERED A SECOND ONE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT WORK EITHER, THAT IT WAS AN AMERICAN HONDA ISSUE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NO USE TO REPLACE IT THAT IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

LOUD NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED.

GAVE THE GAS TO TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP AND THE CAR HAD NO REACTION. SEEMED LIKE THE ENGINE DIED OR STOPPED RUNNING. I HAD TO GIVE THE GAS HARDER AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT AND THE TIRES SKIDDED. THIS HESITATION LEFT MY CAR IN A DANGEROUS POSITION AS I WAS ENTERING A 55 MPH ROAD. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET ON THE ROAD UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME SINCE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 HONDA CRV EXL + NAVI 2WD AND LAST 3-4 YEARS I VISITED HONDA DEALERSHIPS MORE THAN 7 TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS CURRENTLY APPROXIMATELY 30K MILES AND HONDA PART # 44500-T0A-A00 WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY 3 TIMES. THERE IS STILL OIL LEAK FROM PASSENGER SITE INTERMEDIATE DRIVE HALF SHAFT BEARING. LAST TIME VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE LEAK CAME BACK AGAIN. HONDA REGIONAL MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. (NO HELP THERE...) THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY (AND ITS RUNNING OUT...) I CALLED LAST HONDA DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY REPLACE THE SAME PART AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL LEAK STOPS. AND FOR HOW LONG REPEAT THE SAME REPAIR? I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND KEEP REPAIRING WRONG THING. I WAS WONDERING IF IS THERE WAS SOMEONE AT "HELPFUL HONDA" THAT IS FAMILIAR WITH IT'S PRODUCTS DESIGN AND CAN DIAGNOSE WHERE THE OIL LEAK IS COMING FROM. THERE IS ALWAYS WET OIL RESIDUE UNDER MY SPLASH GUARD WHICH COULD BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD...I HAVE ALL 6-7 TIMES DEALER REPAIR WORK INVOICES AS A PROOF.

WHILE DRIVING, I SMELLED SOME BURNING, AND SAW WHITE SMOKES, SO PULLED OVER, AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, GOT OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER 30 SECONDS OR (POSSIBLY A FEW MINS), IT CAUGHT FIRE (ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD), AND PEOPLE AROUND US TRIED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE USING THEIR OWN FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO NO AVAIL. FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED WITHIN MINUTES , AND WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT FIRE. AT THIS TIME, INSURANCE DOES NOT SEEM REALLY INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT THE ROOT CAUSE. HONDA DEALER SAYS THEY ARE OUT OF THE MIX SINCE THEY DID NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE. HONDA AMERICA IS SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT LOOK INTO THIS AND SIMPLY WAIT FOR THE OUTCOME FROM INSURANCE INVESTIGATION. HONDA HAS A HISTORY OF RECALLS (CR-V) ASSOCIATED WITH FIRE HAZARDS SPECIFICALLY FROM 2002-2006, AND 2012 CR-V COULD BE DEFECTIVE AS WELL, BUT THEIR RESPONSES OVER THIS ACCIDENT IS SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS. SO I'M FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NHTSA, HOPING THAT SOMEONE IN THE AGENCY CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS FIRE INCIDENCE, AND HOPEFULLY, THIS CAN PREVENT "FATAL" DISASTERS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR FROM MARYLAND TO NEW YORK IN EXTREMELY RAINY CONDITIONS ON THE I95, THE SUV STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AFTER A LOUD NOISE. I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THE BRAKES PEDAL ALSO DID NOT MOVE. THE CAR BUCKLED AND ROCKED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. (NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON--WHY DIDN'T IT?) THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME WERE NOT ALERT. I READ THROUGH THE COMMENTS AND REALIZE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IS HONDA WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. I TOLD MY FAMILY TO SUE THEM IF IT HAPPENS TO ME. I HAVE STARTED DRIVING WITH MY IPAD VIDEO CAMERA ON. THIS IS MY BLACK BOX TO PROVE THAT THE HONDA CRV 2012 IS FAULTY. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING AFTER 2-3HRS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO HONDA, LONG ISLAND, NY. THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES AND SAID IT IS FINE. BUT, THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE SMOOTH ON THE ROAD. YOU CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS UNSAFE PROBLEM OF THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *TR

THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT ON THE 2013 I SAW POSTED WHICH IS..." THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING AND INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000. KMJ ..... ON MY 2012, IT HAS BEEN IN TO SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE- THEY REPLACED AN ACTUATOR FOR THE STARTER- BUT NOW ADMIT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT USUALLY OCCURS IN COLDER WEATHER AND IT IS A HECK OF A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING THAT CONTINUES AFTER THE KEY HAS BEEN RETURNED TO NORMAL.. FOR UP TO ABOUT 20 SECONDS. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ADMITS TO IT.. AND IS WORKING ON A FIX-- BUT THAT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO NOW- AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM WHAT TO DO... WE DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR TO START- AND WILL BE WORRIED MORE AS WINTER APPROACHES..THE PRIMARY REASON WE BUY HONDA'S TO BE DEPENDABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT DID STATE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING MORE THAN 2.5 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL WITHIN A 15 DAY SPAN. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,492.

DRIVER REPORTED HEARING LOUD POP FROM RIGHT SIDE (ASSUMED TO BE FRONT TIRE BLOWOUT). SHE DESCRIBED STEERING LOCKED UP AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL. LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE ON A CURVING 2 LANE ROAD. SHE DESCRIBES BRAKING WAS INEFFECTIVE, AND HER VEHICLE RIGHT FRONT CORNER HIT A VEHICLE IN OPPOSITE LANE, BOTH VEHICLES SPUN 180 AND CRV ENDED UP UPRIGHT IN A DITCH OFF THE ROAD. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION WAS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM VEHICLE. REAR RIGHT WHEEL BROKE FROM SUSPENSION. CAR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED PROPERLY, AND DRIVER WAS JUST BRUISED AND SCRAPED UP. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 ISSUES WITH TPMS (TIRE-PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM). VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AFTER TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE WHEN TPMS INDICATOR CAME ON 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM DEALERSHIP AFTER PURCHASE (SERVICE DEPT WAS CLOSED THE NEXT DAY). SECOND TIME WAS 3 DAYS AFTER SERVICE, TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT "PREVIOUS TECH DIDN'T ADJUST THE SPARE TIRE TPMS. THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE ERRORS". MONTHS LATER TIRES APPEARED TO BE LOW, BUT TPMS SYSTEM DIDN'T INDICATE ANYTHING, DRIVER WONDERED IF THE SERVICE TECHS DISABLED THE TPMS SYSTEM COMPLETELY? CAR WAS AT DEALER JAN 12, 2013 FOR DOOR LOCK RECALL. DESCRIBED TPMS ISSUES TO TECH, NOTHING REPORTED. CAR WAS DUE TO GO BACK TO SHOP A MONTH OR TWO AFTER THE ACCIDENT FOR 1 YEAR CHECK-UP. DRIVER STATES SHE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA.. THIS ONE JUST HAD TOO MANY PROBLEMS FROM THE START. *TR

I WAS APPLYING INTERMITTENT BRAKING TO MODULATE SPEED WHILE PROCEEDING EASTBOUND ON I-40 EAST OF BLACK MOUNTAIN, NC WHICH IS A RELATIVELY STEEP GRADE (APPROXIMATELY 6% FOR 5 MILES). WITH SUCCESSIVE APPLICATIONS I FELT PROGRESSIVELY INCREASING VIBRATIONS FROM THE FRONT END AND FEEDBACK THROUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL. TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE GRADE I SERIOUSLY QUESTIONED THE ABILITY OF THE BRAKES TO ADEQUATELY SLOW THE CAR AND HAD NO CONFIDENCE THAT I COULD STOP THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE/ADEQUATE DISTANCE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN MORE LEVEL, INTERSTATE CONDITIONS FOR ANOTHER 3.5 HOURS BUT DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. REPORTED TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS MID TO HIGH 80'S. I WAS CONSCIOUS OF MY BRAKE USE GIVEN THE CONDITIONS, AND DO NOT FEEL IT WAS EXCESSIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS PARTICULAR STRETCH OF ROAD BEFORE IN HIGHER TEMPERATURES, IN OTHER VEHICLES AND IN MORE SEVERE CONDITIONS WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. WITHIN A WEEK OF THIS INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND NO ABNORMALITIES WERE NOTED WITH THE BRAKES. SERVICE PERSONNEL ADVISED THAT MY EXPERIENCE WAS SIMPLY DUE TO THE CONDITIONS. I DISAGREE. IF BRAKES IN SERVICEABLE/GOOD CONDITION CANNOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE BRAKING PERFORMANCE UNDER THE CONDITIONS I DESCRIBED, THEN I FEEL THIS PARTICULAR COMPONENT IS INADEQUATE AND REPRESENTS A RISK TO THE OPERATOR AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. *TR

THIS IS ABOUT NHTSA RECALL 12V-338, AND TO REPORT HONDA'S FAILURE TO REMEDY A DEFECT WITHIN 60 DAYS OF FIRST CONTACT WITH THE DEALER (HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS, 1720 WEST STREET, ANNAPOLIS, MD 21401). WE BROUGHT OUR 2102 HONDA CR-V TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS ON MARCH 22, 2013 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S DOOR LATCHES AND INNER HANDLES UNDER RECALL 12V-338. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, SO THE PARTS WOULD BE SPECIAL ORDERED AND WE WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY CALL. WE WENT TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS ON JUNE 27, 2013 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL PARTS, WHICH WERE THEN IN STOCK, AND THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. WHEN WE ASKED WHY WE HAD NOT BEEN CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL PARTS, NO ONE OFFERED ANY RATIONAL EXPLANATION, MUCH LESS ANY APOLOGY. LATER THAT DAY, WE WERE UNABLE TO LOCK THE CR-V, THE CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF WHEN EITHER FRONT DOOR WAS OPENED, AND WE HAD TO TURN OFF THE ALARM BY PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE RETURNED TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. THUS, HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS MISSED YOUR 60 DAY REPAIR DEADLINE BY OVER 30 DAYS, AND THEN PERFORMED THE REPLACEMENT IN AN INCOMPETENT MANNER. IF WE HAD NOT GONE IN FOR THE OIL CHANGE, WE BELIEVE WE WOULD NEVER HAVE RECEIVED ANY CALL FROM THIS DEALER ABOUT COMPLETING THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WOULD ALSO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE IN ORDER TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY FOUR TIMES AND THE ALTERNATOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,400.

MY 2012 HONDA CR-V (AWD, EX TRIM) HAS, ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, LOCKED UP THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS (<25 MPH) OR PARKING LOTS. I AM LUCKY THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, BUT I FEAR IT MAY HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT. ON TODAY'S OCCASION (THE 5TH OUT OF 5, AT 6372 MILES), MY CAR WAS SITTING IN BRIGHT SUN ALL DAY, AND WHEN I DROVE IT A FEW MILES AND PARKED IN FRONT OF A STORE, I LOST POWER STEERING RIGHT AS I TURNED TO PARK. THE STEERING TENDED TO HARDEN UP AS I DROVE THROUGH THE PARKING LOT TO FIND MY SPOT. THE EPS INDICATOR ON THE DASH DID NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH MY STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TO WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO POSITION. ON PAGE 355 OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL, A NOTICE STATES THAT: "IF YOU REPEATEDLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AN EXTREMELY LOW SPEED, OR HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE FULL LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION FOR A WHILE, THE SYSTEM HEATS UP. THE SYSTEM GOES INTO A PROTECTIVE MODE, AND LIMITS ITS PERFORMANCE. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER TO OPERATE. ONCE THE SYSTEM COOLS DOWN, EPS IS RESTORED. REPEATED OPERATION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS CAN EVENTUALLY DAMAGE THE SYSTEM." WHAT KIND OF STEERING IS THIS? YOU TEND TO USE YOUR STEERING MOST WHEN IN PARKING LOTS OR TIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. IN CONCLUSION, NORMAL DRIVING HABITS WILL "EVENTUALLY DAMAGE THE SYSTEM." I DEMAND HONDA TO FULLY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REMAINING NEGATIVE EQUITY OF THE VEHICLE LEASE, AND PROVIDE ME A SAFE, PAID-IN-FULL RENTAL VEHICLE (NON-HONDA PLEASE) TO DRIVE UNTIL MY NEW MINI COUNTRYMAN ARRIVES FROM EUROPE IN A FEW WEEKS. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT A COMPANY KNOWN FOR "RELIABILITY" AND "DURABILITY" WOULD SKIMP ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF DRIVING: THE STEERING. *TR

WHENEVER I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, UPON RE-STARTING (ONLY IF THERE IS AN INCLINE IN THE STREET) THE MOTOR ALMOST STOPS. I MUST PUMP THE GAS PEDDLE, IT SEEMS, TO CAUSE FUEL TO ENTER. THEN THE CAR TAKES OFF TOO FAST IN THE TRAFFIC. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR CANNOT FIND (OR EXPERIENCE) THE PROBLEM. BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY A MALFUNCTION--DANGEROUS AS WELL.

When you start to drive and reach 30 mph Car will shutter if I let of gas and than Accelerate it will stop been doing this Since car reached over 30,000 miles

WHEN MAKING A HARD LEFT TURN, THERE IS A PAUSE BEFORE ACCELERATING

VEHICLE STALLED, AND WOULD NOT START. BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY HONDA, JANUARY 29, 2012, THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. FEB. 4, WOULD NOT START. *TR

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2012, I WAS DRIVING IN DARK AND RAINY CONDITIONS THIS MORNING, TAKING OUR SON TO SCHOOL. I HAD BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS ON, AND I WAS AMAZED THAT THE LIGHTS HARDLY LIT UP THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AT ALL. THE CAR WAS CLEAN AND THE LIGHT LENSES WERE NOT DIRTY AT ALL. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW POOR THE CAR'S FRONT LIGHTING WAS IN THESE CONDITIONS. NORMALLY, WHEN IT WASN'T RAINING, I THOUGHT THE CAR'S LIGHTS WERE SUFFICIENT. NOT GREAT, BUT SUFFICIENT. SINCE HONDA DOES NOT OFFER ANY HIGHER INTENSITY HEAD LIGHT BULBS, I WILL CHECK WITH AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS. HONDA IS KNOWN AS A VERY SAFETY CONSCIOUS CAR COMPANY. HAVING HEADLIGHTS THAT PERFORM SO POORLY IN THE RAIN SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT TO ME. MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TODAY HAVE MUCH BETTER AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS. CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THE 2012 HONDA CR-V EX-L, IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED HIGHER INTENSITY OR EVEN XENON HEADLIGHTS. *TR

SEAT BELTS ON VEHICLE HAVE INSUFFICIENT TENSION, FAIL TO RETRACT FULLY WHEN TAKEN OFF. SEAT BELT LATCHES THEN GET CAUGHT BETWEEN DOOR AND DOOR FRAME, THUS CAUSING DOOR TO CLOSE ON THEM AND RISK BENDING OR BREAKING THEM. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED AN INDENTATION IN ONE INSIDE DOOR FRAME WHERE THE "DOOR CLOSED" BUTTON CONTACTS, THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO THINK THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF THE BELT LATCHES BECOME BENT OR WEAKENED BY THE STRESS OF REPEATED DOOR CLOSINGS. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE HEAD LIGHTS ON THE HONDA CR-V. THE 2012 AND 2013 MODELS BOTH SUFFER FROM VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. WHILE THE BRIGHTNESS MAY BE ENOUGH TO PASS NTSB REGULATIONS; IN PRACTICE, THEY ARE MUCH MORE DIM THAN MOST IF NOT ALL MODERN VEHICLES. I AM A MEMBER ON MULTIPLE FORUMS SITES AND THERE ARE A GREAT DEAL OF CR-V OWNERS THAT FEEL THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE CR-V WHILE ADEQUATE; COULD BE MUCH BETTER AND ADD TO SAFETY. MANY OWNERS HAVE TAKEN TO REPLACING ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES IN FAVOR OF HID BALLASTS WHILE OTHERS HAVE TESTED VARIOUS BRANDS OF AFTER-MARKET BULBS. ON DARK ROADWAYS; THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT PRODUCED BY EITHER THE LOW OR HIGH BEAM TO FULLY ILLUMINATE THE PATH IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE CORNER LIGHTING IS POOR AT BEST. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP AND OFFER IT'S CUSTOMERS A BETTER LIGHTING OPTION FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT ROTORS WERE RESURFACED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS SUCCESSFULLY STARTED AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY JUMPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE RECHARGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COVERED THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,600. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE BATTERY WAS JUMP-STARTED AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE A NEW BATTERY AND SOFTWARE WAS INSTALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,718.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROOF WAS LEAKING AND MILDEW WAS PRESENT ON THE CEILING OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEAM HONDA (6363 SIEGEN LN, BATON ROUGE, LA 70809, (225) 298-4100) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS; HOWEVER, THEY COULD CLEAN THE LINER FOR THE ROOF AND PERFORM A WATER TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

WHILE GOING NORTH ON I-35, 2 MILES SOUTH OF AUSTIN, TEXAS A VERY LOUD NOISE WAS FELT AND HEARD. THE SUNROOF HAD CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF SMALL PIECES AND A LARGE HOLE FORMED AS I DROVE WITH GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME. THE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF HAD EDGES SLOPING UPWARDS INDICATING THE FORCE WENT OUT OF THE CAR BENDING THE GLASS OUTWARDS. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ANY OBJECT HIT THE SUNROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 64F DEGREES. I BELIEVE THE FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF GLASS IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SUNROOF. *TR

THE CAM ACTUATOR GEAR ASSEMBLY" PART #14310R44A01, ACT. ASSY., 46T VTC THIS PART RATTLES FOR A FEW SECONDS ON STARTUP. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING (ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER) SINCE THE CAR WAS ONE YEAR OLD (IT IS NOW 3 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS OLD).

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATER OVER HEATED AND CAUGHT A TOTE BAG THAT WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT ON FIRE. ACCORDING TO THE USERS MANUAL THE BACK OF THE SEAT DOES NOT HAVE A HEATING ELEMENT DUE TO THE SIDE AIR BAG--MY CAR'S SEAT BACK DOES HEAT UP. IN FACT IT GETS VERY HOT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK WAS INSTALLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE--AND AS A RESULT I BELIEVE THAT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY IF NEEDED. HUGHES HONDA IN WARNER ROBINS GA CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND ARE INVESTIGATING. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THAT AT CERTAIN TIMES, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS, WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE CAR ACCELERATES. DURING THIS HESITATION PERIOD, THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV, AND THE CAR JUST COASTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIME THIS PAST MONTH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM TRYING TO MERGE INTO FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION NOR FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME THEY REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA NATIONAL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 AT 65 MPH. I ACCIDENTALLY LIGHTLY BUMPED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT CHANGED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. MY SPEED DECREASED ABRUPTLY/UNEXPECTEDLY WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING 70 MPH AND ABOVE BEHIND AND BESIDE ME. IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND WHY IT WAS SLOWING DOWN. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS TOO CLOSE! THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE CITY, FLORIDA, DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER BUT SAID THAT THE OTHER HONDA CRV'S DO THE SAME THING. THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR SHIFT WHICH I THOUGHT YOU MUST DEPRESS TO CHANGE GEARS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE THIS BUTTON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH WITH THE DOORS LOCKED, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WAS STILL ABLE TO BE OPENED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A SETTING AVAILABLE THAT WOULD REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF THE SAME INFORMATION. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE SETTING BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR COULD STILL BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WITH THE DOORS LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

2012 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE GAS PEDAL.*SMD THE CONSUMER STATED, WHEN HE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD BOGGED DOWN. HE WOULD HAVE TO PUMP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM.

BOTH FRONT SEAT HEADRESTS ARE TOO FAR FORWARD CAUSING NECK PAIN. PEOPLE ARE TURNING THEM AROUND CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION IF ACCIDENT OCCURS. CORRECT NECK REST ANGLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A DEER AND THE DRIVERS AIR BAG AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 1,500.

SIRS WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 DOCUMENTED TIMES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A DISTRACTIVE DRIVING ISSUE THAT INVOLVES THE IN DASH NAVIGATION SYSTEM, BLUETOOTH AND GPS PAIRING. AFTER 2 YEARS OF VISITS TO VALENCIA HONDA, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIXED. I HIRED THE LAW FIRM OF PARKER STANSBURY TO INITIATE A " LEMON LAW" PROTECTION BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1793.22. AMERICAN HONDA HAS RESPONDED AND DENIED MY REQUEST FOR REPURCHASE OR REPLACE THE DEFECTED UNIT OR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. SINCE THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES DISTRACTIVE DRIVING ISSUES, IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT ONLY PUTTING OUR SAFETY AT RISK BUT THE SAFETY OF ALL OTHER 2012 HONDA CR-V OWNERS AT RISK THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECTIVE NAVIGATION SOFTWARE. THE ARROGANCE OF AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. I WILL BE REQUESTING AN ARBITRATION HEARING WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE OUR CONCERNS ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY CONCERN. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2012 HONDA CRV - POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AND POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATES. ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AFTER AN OCCURRENCE THE POWER STEERING AGAIN WORKS FINE FOR DAYS OR WEEKS UNTIL THE NEXT OCCURRENCE. WHILE THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME TO ATTEMPT REPAIR FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. NOTE THIS IS THE FIRST MODEL YEAR TO USE HONDA'S NEW MOTION-ADAPTIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS). *TR

THE HONDA HANDS FREE SYSTEM IS VERY DANGEROUS. YOU SAY A VOICE COMMAND, THEN SQUINT AT THE DASH SCREEN TO SEE WHAT IT SAYS. IT MAY TAKE 20 COMMANDS AND 20 TIMES YOU HAVE TO READ THE SCREEN TO GET TO THE PERSON YOU WANT TO CALL. IT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD 20 TIMES. IT IS MUCH WORSE THAN HOLDING THE PHONE. WITH A CLIP-ON THE VISOR HANDS FREE ADAPTOR, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SAY THE NAME, AND IT WOULD CALL. I HAVE WRITTEN HONDA ABOUT THIS BUT THEY HAVEN'T RESPONDED. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF INSPECTION OR APPROVAL FOR THESE HANDS-FREE DEVICES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE STEERING WIRE WAS LOOSE AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED LATER AS THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE SHOES WERE WEARING PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. *TR

WE TOOK A TRIP FROM GEORGIA TO MISSISSIPPI ON THE WEEKEND OF 28-30 SEPTEMBER. ON THE WAY BACK WE DROVE THROUGH EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES. ON THE EVENING OF OCT 1ST I RAISED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS WET AND THAT THERE WAS NO WEATHER STRIPPING ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE HOOD (MY ACCORD AND ODYSSEY HAS IT). THAT ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE WATER CAME IN FROM THE TOP AND NOT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LEAK. THEY LOOKED AT SEVERAL BRAND-NEW CR-VS AND NOTICED THAT THEY TOO DIDN'T HAVE ANY WEATHER STRIPPING ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE HOOD. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. WHEN DRIVING THROUGH HEAVY RAIN THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP WATER FROM ENTERING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING THE SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. I NOW HAVE A BRAND-NEW CR-V WITH UNSIGHTLY WATER STAINS ON THE ENGINE, FIREWALL, AND HOOD INSULATOR. *TR

FEB 2012 : PURCHASED MY 2012 HONDA CRV BECAUSE IT WAS FLAT TOWABLE. SEPT 1 :LEFT FOR A TWO MONTH TRIP TOWING SAID CAR AND USING THE BLUE OX PATRIOT BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER FOLLOWING ALL THE DIRECTIONS FOR BLUE OX AND HONDAS DIRECTIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE.WITH EXCEPTION OF THE BATTERY GOING DEAD EVERY 3-4 HRS OF DRIVING. OCT 6: THE BACK BRAKE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS SCRAPING.HONDA DEALER SAID THE PADS WERE RUBBING BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY REPLACEMENTS. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE OKAY TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. OCT 16: IN TEXAS THE BRAKES SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS METAL ON METAL. TOOK INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PAD WAS MISSING ON THE RIGHT REAR, THE CALIPER PINS WERE MISSING, ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED, AND THE PARKING BRAKE CALIPERS PINS WERE MISSING. EVERYTHING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR BOTH REAR BRAKES. CAR TEST DRIVEN, ALL BRAKES FINE. OCT 28: BACK HOME, BRAKES VIBRATING SO TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE BRAKES. I WAS TOLD ALL FOUR OF THE BRAKES WERE SHOT BURNT ETC AND PARTS WOULD COST $5,000.00. THEY SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I USED AN AFTER THE MARKET BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY ARE BLAMING BLUE OX. BLUE OX IS BLAMING HONDA. AMERICA HONDA HDQ WERE NOTIFIED BUT THEY SAID SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DEEMED IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT THEY CLOSED MY CASE. IM THE ONE STUCK WITH PAYING AS THE INSURANCE WONT COVER THIS EITHER. *TR

DUE TO RECALL LETTER OF INTERIOR FRONT DOOR LATCH AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH NOT PROPERLY LATCHED, BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA OF SERRAMONTE TO HAVE IT FIXED. AFTER RETRIEVING MY CAR, I TESTED THE DOOR LATCH WHILE DRIVING, THE DOOR CAN STILL BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. *TR

MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING OUR HONDA CRV 2012 HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY OFF RAMP. WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER RAN OVER SOME WIRE THAT WAS LEFT ON THE ROAD, THE DRIVER MADE A SUDDEN STOP. MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND HIT THE VEHICLE WITH OUR HONDA. THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE ON BOTH CARS. SINCE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SAFETY BELT IN OUR 2012 HONDA CRV DID NOT RESTRAIN MY WIFE FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL, SHE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. I HOPE OTHER OWNERS OF THE HONDA CRV 2012 DO NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF SITUATION HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. I WAS DRIVING, CAME TO A STOP AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO 25 MPH. THE CAR HESITATED UPON ACCELERATION AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. NORMALLY WHEN IT OCCURS IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER A STOP AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR CORNER. HOWEVER, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I REPORTED IT TO HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING IF THE DEALER THE CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS UNLIKELY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED IT CONTINUOUSLY EMITTED A THUMPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INFORMED THE BRAKES EXHIBITED RUST. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE DEFECT PERTAINED TO THE FRONT OR REAR BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

I PAID CASH FOR A NEW 2012 CR-V EX L WITH NAV. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THE CAR BROKE DOWN. I STOPPED FOR GAS AND IT WOULD NOT START. I AM A SINGLE FEMALE AND HAD TO WALK IN THE DARK TO WALMART, BUY JUMPER CABLES AND FLASH SOMEONE DOWN FOR A BOOST. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT HAS BROKEN DOWN SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I'VE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TOW TRUCK AND REPAIRS THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP AND IT BROKE DOWN WHILE AT THE DEALER. IT WOULD NOT START. WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THEY RAN SEVERAL TEST AND LIKE THE OTHER DEALER STATED THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LATER, IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. BEEN THERE FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HONDA TRIED TO START THE CAR YESTERDAY AND IT WOULD NOT START, COMPLETELY DEAD. THEY HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING (BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, RECALLS, ELECTORAL, ETC.) SEVERAL TIMES AND IT COMES BACK SAYING GOOD CONDITION. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND HONDA WON'T ADMIT IT OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WHENEVER I PLACED MY CAR ON PARKING AN THE E-BRAKE IF IT WAS ON A SLOPE THE CAR WOULD KEEP GOING AS IF IT WAS ON DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP THEY SAW THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT ALREADY WITH BARELY A COUPLE OF MILES FROM NEW. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW CRV IN SEPTEMBER 2012. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THAT AT CERTAIN TIMES, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE CAR ACCELERATES. DURING THIS HESITATIONS PERIOD THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV AND THE CAR JUST COASTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES THE PAST YEAR. THIS CREATES A MAJOR CONCERN WHEN I'M TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR PULL OUT FROM AN INTERSECTION. NOTE, MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND I'VE HAD THE ECON SWITCH IN BOTH ON AND OFF MODE AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN FEBRUARY 2013 AT WHICH TIME IT HAD 3,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER 2013 I HAD WORK DONE ON AN ACCORD I OWN AND I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR COPIES OF 6 REPORTS THRU SAFERCAR.GOV. THE ADVISOR DID NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSE. I NOW HAVE 8,000 MILES ON MY CRV. I RECENTLY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS REPORTED. IN MY OPINION THEY ARE WRONG AS THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING CAUSING THIS. AT LEAST I HAVE IT ON FILE WITH HONDA. *TR
