2002 HONDA CR-V Complaints

IN 2006 WITH 66000 MILES AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STARTED TO GIVE OFF BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED HEADACHES AND NAUSEA BEFORE THE SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. A/C COMPRESSOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEN IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 95000 MILES THE UNIT FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME TOXIC FUMES. AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH IMPACT OF THIS ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS COMPONENT IS OF INADEQUATE DESIGN AND HONDA LOST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO FREQUENT FAILURES. THIS FAILURE RATE, WHILE NOT IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF THE CAR, DOES HAVE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS FOR THE OCCUPANTS BEYOND REASONABLE RISK. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HEARD A LOUD BANG COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE VEHICLE JUST AS THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW CONTROL IS SHORTING OUT. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP ALL THE WAY ABOUT A WEEK AGO IT WAS MANUALLY FIXED BY MY HUSBAND BUT THE CONTROLLER ON DRIVER'S SIDE WAS SHORTING OUT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN CRV'S BUT WE NEVER GOT ONE AND NOW OUR CAR IS ACTING UP JUST LIKE THE RECALL. WHEN I CALLED BOTH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT WE GOT THE VEHICLE FROM AND CALLED DIRECTLY TO HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY SINCE IT WAS NOT RECALLED. I FEEL THAT SINCE MY CAR IS DOING WHAT THE RECALL SAID, IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL REPAIR SINCE THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW BEST TO HANDLE MY CAR SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA OWNER FOR YEARS AND REALLY LOVE MY CRV. I PLAN ON STICKING WITH HONDA BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY SATISFIED. LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM SOMEONE ON THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BUTTONS WERE MELTED AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE LIGHTS WERE PULSATING AT A LEVEL THAT WAS BARELY DETECTABLE. JUST YESTERDAY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS ONLY THE RUNNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS EITHER HIGH OR LOW BEAM. RESEARCH HAS DISCOVERED THAT 2002-2004 HONDA CRVS HAVE HAD THE IDENTICAL ISSUE DUE TO OVERHEATING CIRCUITRY CAUSING THE LIGHT SWITCH TO CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL. *TR

2002 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WASN'T WILLING TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, OR EVEN SUPPLY MONEY FOR GAS, TIME AND MILEAGE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. I HAVE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITH A KEY AND THE REMOTE DOESN'T WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE OTHER DOORS LOCK WITH THE REMOTE BUT ONLY AFTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKED BY KEY. THIS HAS ALSO AFFECTED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHICH DON'T LIGHT WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. *TR

DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUAL KEY. DOOR LOCKS SPORADICALLY MOVE UP AND DOWN WITH OUT TOUCHING DOOR LOCK SWITCHES. I SPENT $300.00 ON GENUINE HONDA PARTS AND HAD MY MECHANIC INSTALL A NEW ACTUATOR AND LOCK MECHANISM, AND THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME. I WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO HONDA AND ASK FOR A TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT AND A FINAL REPAIR. I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE KEY LOCKS ON THESE MODELS. A LOCAL TELEVISION STATION ( WITH A PROBLEM SOLVING SEGMENT RECENTLY COVERED THIS PROBLEM.) CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY? THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TR

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT A SAFETY RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED FOR MY CAR'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND SAFERCAR HAS NOT POSTED IT HERE! *TR
