2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2019. THANK GOODNESS IT HAS BEEN A MILD WINTER BECAUSE THE HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS COLD. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING MY HEATER AND THE INABILITY TO DEFROST MY WINDOW DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM. TSB 14-063

AS OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED, WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, IDLI NG (AT STOPS), THE WHOLE BODY/ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ARE VIBRATING REALLY HARD. SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL TO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) 15-046, DRIVING MODE 1: THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, BUT IN GEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN/ LIGHT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ROUGHLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRAMAN HONDA OF PALM BEACH 5200 LAKE WORTH RD, GREENACRES, FL 33463 (561) 790-8570 WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

WHEN THE GEAR IS IN DRIVING MODE, D, MY VEHICLE STARTS VIBRATING SO MUCH THAT ALL PASSENGERS CAN FEEL IT. ACCORDING TO HONDA, IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO 2015 CRV (HTTP://OWNERS.HONDA.COM/VEHICLE-INFORMATION/CR-V-2015-VIBRATION-SETTLEMENT.HTML). HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2016 CRV. ACCORDING TO HONDA, MY PROBLEM IS VERY OBVIOUS AT DRIVING MODE 1, WHICH MEANS THAT VIBRATIONS MAY BE PRESENT WHEN STOPPED WITH VEHICLE IN GEAR, FOR EXAMPLE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME, AND IT COMES MORE SERIOUS NOWADAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT STAND STILL AND WHEN SHIFTING GEARS FROM PARK, IT STALLED TWICE WITH AN HOUR. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER MOON TOWNSHIP HONDA LOCATED AT 5802 UNIVERSITY BLVD, MOON, PA 15108, (412) 269-4100, WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL CRASH ON THE FREEWAY AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CAR WAS TOTALED WITH EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE IN WHICH BOTH DOORS COULD NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY DUE TO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. I AM STILL AWAITING THE POLICE REPORT. MY NOSE WAS BRUISED AND HAD LACERATIONS.

YESTERDAY NOVEMBER 7,2019 I WAS DRIVING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WAS CAME IN OFF AND ON CONSTANTLY, NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M CONCERN AND WORRY AS SAFETY .MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED IN MAY THIS YEAR. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE HAS AN EFFECT ON THE SWITCH THAT OPENS THE REAR HATCH ON THE CAR. IF THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE 30'S IT WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL THE CARS HEATER WARMS THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR SUFFICIENTLY.THIS IS AN ELECTRIC SWITCH THAT MAY BE DEPRESSED ON EITHER SIDE. PRESSURE ON THE SWITCH IS NOT A FACTOR. I HAVE HELD THE SWITCH FOR 30 TO 60 SECONDS ON A COLD MORNING WITH NO RESULTS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS EVEN IN A GARAGE. TEMPERATURE SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY FACTOR. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO RELEASE THE HATCH LATCH OTHER THAN THE PRESSURE SWITCH ON THE REAR GATE. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW AND CONTINUES TO DATE.I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON BLOGS FROM CRV OWNERS WITH NO SOLUTION FROM DEALERS.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT IDLE WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND CAR GETS TO AROUND 600 RPMS AFTER VEHICLE IS WARM. YOU CAN INCREASE IDLE SPEED AND VIBRATION IS NOT FELT. VERY ANNOYING FOR A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE. DON'T AGREE THIS SHOULD BE A NORMAL IDLE VIBRATION CONDITION. FIRST NOTICED THIS CONDITION IN JANUARY 2019 AND ASKED DEALER TO CHECK OUT THIS ISSUE. AT THE TIME MY CAR HAD 30,377 MILES. SINCE THEN THIS ISSUE IS WORSE. HONDA SHOULD HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR KEEPS GOING/STAYING ON EVEN THOUGH TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER COST TO FIND PROBLEM AND REPAIR IT. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT REPORTED BY MANY USERS.
