2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS DUE TO UNEXPLAINED FAILURE. I HAVE NEEDED TO REPLACE BULBS ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO SIX MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE TO BE RECALLED FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH

SINCE 12/9/2007, I HAVE HAD 22 LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT H1 BULBS BURN OUT. I HAVE READ POSTS BY HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2005 HONDA CR-V OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BURNING OUT. I SEE THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2002-2004 HONDA CR-V FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS SHOULD ALSO BE CORRECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN RATE OF SPEED, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITH EXTREME FORCE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A FRACTURED RIGHT EYE SOCKET, LACERATIONS TO THE RIGHT CHEEK BONE, WHIPLASH, AND ALSO SUSTAINED FURTHER INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT INSPECTED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: (AIR BAGS), WHICH WAS RECEIVED AFTER THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. THE RECALL WAS UNABLE TO BE PERFORMED BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRED YEARS BEFORE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. MA 08/06/15 UPDATED 8/14/15 *JS

SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER AND HAD A FRONT END COLLISION INTO A TREE. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED CAUSING SEVER DAMAGE TO THE FACE. HAD TO HAVE RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY ON THE RIGHT EYE SOCKET. WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED INDEPENDENTLY TO THE RIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, AND THE TORQUE STEER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ALSO, WHILE BRAKING, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

UNDER ACCELERATION,... AND ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION,... THE 2005 CR-V... "TORQUE-STEERS"... TO THE RIGHT! THE HARDER THE ACCELERATION,... THE HARDER IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT!... IF THIS CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY A PERSON THAT WAS NOT PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THEIR DRIVING... THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE AN ACCIDENT!... THE CAR WOULD GO TO THE RIGHT AND GO OFF THE ROAD,.. OR HIT ANYTHING THAT WAS TO THEIR RIGHT!.. I.E. ANOTHER CAR, PEDESTRIAN,... TREE,... ETC. THIS PROBLEM MAY VERY WELL HAVE EXISTED FROM DAY ONE,... HOWEVER IT HAS VIRTUALLY ALWAYS BEEN DRIVEN... "GENTLY"... FOR BEST FUEL MILEAGE.. IT WAS ONLY AFTER A MECHANIC REPLACED A FAULTY "ANTI-LOCK BRAKING-SYSTEM MODULE" THAT THIS WAS DISCOVERED. AFTER THE ABS MODULE WAS REPLACED, IT WAS TEST-DRIVEN. (I.E.) ACCELERATE, THEN BRAKE,... REPEAT. UNDER THIS HARDER THAN NORMAL ACCELERATION, THE TORQUE-STEER WAS DISCOVERED. NOTE: (1.) VEHICLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS GOOD... (2.) TIRES ARE ALL PROPERLY INFLATED... (3.) AT A CONSTANT/ STEADY SPEED,... AND DURING BRAKING... THE CAR ALWAYS GOES STRAIGHT! (4.) IT ONLY PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT DURING ACCELERATION... THE GREATER THE ACCELERATION... THE HARDER IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT! (5.) THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT.. ATTACKED ANY CURBS,... HIT ANY SERIOUS POTHOLES... ETC.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN A MONTH FOR THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (CLOVIS CA HONDA NORTH 559-297-1000) TO FIX MY AIR BAG. THEY SAY THE PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM AS OF MAY 19, 2015. I HAVE CALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE SAY PARTS HAVE NOT COME IN.

IT WAS REPORTED LAST SUMMER (2014) THAT MANY HONDA VEHICLES WERE BEING RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAGS. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE NEWS REPORT AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2005 HONDA CR-V WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, EARLIER THIS YEAR I ENTERED MY CAR'S VIN IN AN ONLINE SEARCH AND WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. HONDA NEVER TO THIS DATE SENT ME A LETTER TO INFORM ME. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL. THEY DID NOT SENT ME A LETTER BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING SENT IN PHASES. I WAS TOLD THAT AN AIRBAG FOR MY CAR WOULD BE SENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP BY EARLY APRIL. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP NEVER RECEIVED IT AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG IS ON ORDER. HONDA CORPORATE OFFERED ME A FREE LOANER CAR SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MY CURRENT CAR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A LOANER CAR FOR MONTHS. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD GET TO THE PEOPLE DRIVING LOANER CARS BEFORE OTHER DRIVERS. THEY DO NOT EXPECT TO SERVICE MY CAR BEFORE THE SUMMER. I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS PROCESS: NEVER RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER & THE TIME IT IS TAKING TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED.

REGARDING THE HONDA AIRBAG RECALL: #1. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA, ALTHOUGH WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER ON THEIR RECALL WEBSITE, IT SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL. #2. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON HOLD WHEN I CALL THE LISTED HONDA NUMBER (888-234-2138). I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM MY CASE MANAGER, WHOSE NAME APPARENTLY IS "ONYE." WHEN I ASK TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, I AM PLACED ON HOLD INDEFINITELY, OR THEY TAKE A MESSAGE BUT NEVER RETURN MY CALL. MY CASE NUMBER IS N032015-04-1601-1863. IF YOU COULD ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU. I WOULD JUST LIKE A CALL BACK FROM A CASE MANAGER FROM HONDA WHO CAN HELP GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED 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 MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
