MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN FAILING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO. I'VE XHANGED A MULTITUDE OF LIGHTS, HAD THE COMBINATION SWITCH CLEANED 3 TIMES AND FINALLY PUT IN A NEW SWITCH, ALL WITH NO RESULTS. SO I FOUND A RECALL EA11012 AND HONDA SAYS IT'S NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR CRV'S. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND IS A SAFETY AND FIRE ISSUE.

THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE TILT STEERING WHEEL NOT STAY IN A LOCKED POSITION. MINE WILL NOT LONGER STAY IN THE LOCK POSITION AT ALL. IT REMAINS IN THE DROPPED DOWN UNLOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT IS ALSO A HAZARD WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AS YOU CAN CATCH YOUR LEG WITH IT AND POSSIBLE INJURE YOUR LEG.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE AIR BAGS FOR 2002-2006 CRVS WERE BEING RECALLED SO I CALLED NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE IN IRVINE, CA IN APRIL 2015 TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. AT THE TIME NORM REEVES IRVINE STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY CAME IN FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM SINCE (NOW END OF AUGUST 2015) WHICH IS ABOUT 4 MONTHS SINCE I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PUT MY NAME ON A WAITING LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:15V320000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ON MAY 7, 2015 MY HONDA DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG INFLATOR FOR MY CRV AS PART OF A RECALL FOR FAULTY AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL AIRBAG INFLATORS IN HONDA CRV'S. BY JULY 27 THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN IT MIGHT ARRIVE. A RECALL LETTER ARRIVED ON JULY 27 SO I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON JULY 27 AND MICHAEL SAID SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY JULY 28. NO SURPRISE, NO PHONE CALL WAS RECEIVED. THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG FOR A POTENTIALLY FATAL ISSUE.
