2004 HONDA CR-V Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE SRS WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SRS SENSOR WAS NOT RESPONDING AND COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT TO FAIL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,200. UPDATED 12/26/13*LJ

THUNK NOISE FROM ENGINE ON PASSENGER SIDE. WORSE WITH TURNING, HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALER SAID "SOMETHING" WAS NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY, MUTTERING ABOUT ENGINE MOUNT. I WAS NOT GIVEN A SERVICE RECORD FOR THE REPAIR AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET ONE AFTER THE FACT. AT THE SAME TIME HEAR A GRINDING NOISE THAT WAS NOT RESOLVED. CR-V AT REPAIR SHOP NOW AND SAID IT LOOKS AS IF AIR COMPRESSOR, CLUTCH AND FANS FOR AC ARE NOT RIGHT. IF NOT RESOLVED WILL BLOW AND DAMAGE ENGINE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS AN ALARMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY MOVE TO INVESTIGATE OR INITIATE A RECALL? *JS

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA CR-V. I HAD MY AC ON AND IT BEGAN TO GRIND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MOTOR, BUT SOON REALIZED IT WAS MY AIR CONDITIONER UNIT. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. COST FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC - $106.00 COST TO FIX IT: $4000.00 DIAGNOSIS:A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED. ALL THE A/C PARTS ARE INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED WITH METAL FROM THE COMPRESSOR. NEEDS A/C KIT (C) AND CLUTCH AND COIL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING ONLINE AND MANY 2003 AND 2004 HONDA CRV'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL. I DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY TO SPEND, YET NEED AIR CONDITIONING. IS THIS FAIR FOR HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE AND COST THEIR FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS SO MUCH MONEY WHEN THIS PROBLEM DID EXIST IN THOSE YEAR MODELS? CAN YOU HELP? *TR

NOT AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONCERNED THAT THE SAME PART HAD TO BE REPLACED IN JULY 2011 AND AGAIN IN AUGUST 2013, AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DRIVER'S WINDOW BECOMES INOPERABLE. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. THE FUSE FOR THE HORN HAS BEEN CHECKED, AND IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVER FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, SIMILAR TO HONDA'S SEATBELT COVERAGE. *TR

THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT STAYED ON WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE HONDA DEALER ON 2/18/2013. THE DTC CODE READ BY THE TECHNICIAN WAS DTC 15-2 (FAULTY SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR CIRCUIT). THE OPDS UNIT (OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM) WAS REPLACED ON 2/25/2013. PER THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 06-009, THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS OUTSIDE THE VIN NUMBERS FOR THE 2004 CR-V'S ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IN THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. ON 6/6/2013 THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT AGAIN STAYED ON WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND WAS RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALERS. THE MILEAGE WAS 110,242. THE DTC CODE DETECTED WAS THE SAME CODE AS THE PREVIOUS VISIT, DTC 15-2. THE OPDS SENSOR WAS DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED ON 6/28/2013. SINCE THE LAST VISIT TO THE HONDA DEALER, THE SRS LIGHT HAS NOT STAYED ON PERMANENTLY. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN 2004. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V260000 (AIR BAGS). AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS LOCKED ON THEIR OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WAS ON. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD GOING 60 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD LIKE A EXPLOSION SOUND AND IT MADE US SCARED AND MADE US NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT WE HAVE PUT 3 COMPRESSORS TOTAL. 2 COMPRESSOR ALONE AND ANOTHER COMPRESSOR WITH THE WHOLE THINGS LIKE FANS, RADIATOR,FOR AIR CONDITIONER HOSE,ETC, EVERYTHING. VERY COSTLY AND REGARDLESS IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I THINK IF IT MAKES THAT EXPLOSION SOUND THAT STUFF COMES OUT TO THE AIR. HONDA ERRORS ARE COSTING THE CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIX AND REFUNDED IF POSSIBLE. I BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2006 AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE SO THAT HONDA FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS BLACK DEATH ISSUE THAT'S WHAT THE COMPLAINERS AND MECHANICS ARE CALLING IT. I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL WITH THIS ECONOMY ITS SUCH A HARDSHIP. AND LIVING IN FLORIDA THE HEAT IS UNBEARABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. *TR
