2002 HONDA CR-V Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPROCHING A STOP, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ROCKED FORWARD SLIGHTLY. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE RELEASED, THE SEAT ROCKED BACKWARD SLIGHTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO KNOWN DEFECTS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS JUST QUIT WORKING - I CHECKED THE BULBS AND THEY WERE IN WORKING ORDER. THERE WAS A BURNING RUBBER TYPE SMELL LEADING UP TO THE HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS DO WORK. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING. HIGHBEAM WORK. FUSES AND RELAYS IN WORKING ORDER. *TR

LOW BEAMS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED. CHANGED OUT HEADLIGHTS AND SWITCHES; LOW BEAMS STILL DID NOT WORK. TOOK VEHICLE INTO HONDA ZIMMERMAN DEALERSHIP, EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT IT SEEMED ODD THAT BOTH LOW BEAMS WOULD GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I MENTIONED TO DEALERSHIP THAT THE NHTSA HAD RECEIVED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING REPORTED AND NO FORMAL RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND SET OF HEADLIGHTS REPLACED IN SIX MONTHS; AND THE LOW BEAMS STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR

PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2002. STARTING IN 2005, THE SEAT BELT WOULDN'T ENGAGE INTO THE BUCKLE. HAD TO FORCE AND FORCE THE BUCKLE IN FOR THE BUCKLE TO LOCK IN THE INSERT. RECENTLY, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THE SEAT BELT MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT BUT THERE IS NO WARRANTY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE SEAT BELT MAY IN FACT BE WARRANTED, BUT HONDA MADE NO MENTION OF THAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAMS FAILED, FORCING THE CONTACT TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE REPLACED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 182,100.

LOW BEAMS ON 2002 HONDA WENT OUT, HIGH BEAMS WORK. CHECKED BULBS ETC, CRV FORUMS STATE MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE RELATING TO CONNECTER MELTING UNDER STEERING COLUMN. *TR

MY WIFE AND I OWN AN 02 HONDA CR-V THAT HAS HEADLIGHT FAILURE PROBLEMS. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE NOTED AT DIFFERENT FORUMS CONCERNING THE STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AT THE DIMMER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. OUR HEADLIGHTS FAILED DURING NORMAL USE IN JUNE OF 2011. I TOOK MY STEERING COLUMN COVER OFF AND LOOKED AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DIMMER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND FOUND IT TO BE PARTIALLY MELTED. I CLEANED THE CONNECTIONS AND REINSTALLED THE CONNECTOR. THE REPAIR LASTED ONLY TEMPORARY (2 MONTHS) AND THEN THE LIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WIRING CONNECTOR IS THE ONLY COMPLETE REPAIR, BUT SINCE I HAVE HEARD THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION, I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY 02 HONDA SUFFERS THIS PROBLEM OF A FAULTY WIRING CONNECTOR FROM THE MANUFACTURER AT THE DIMMER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH.

CRV WITH 45,000 MILES MADE LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND A/C STOPPED WORKING. OCCUPANTS COULD HAVE SUFFOCATED DUE TO LACK OF AIR CONDITIONING IN CAR AS MEDICAL CONDITIONS PREVENTED OCCUPANTS FROM OPENING WINDOWS. *TR

THE AC STARTED TO MAKE BANGING NOISE, THEN CEASED TO WORK. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES, JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IN 90-100 DEGREE WEATHER THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS -- I FIND MYSELF FALLING ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL IN THE HEAT, EVEN WHEN WINDOWS ARE OPEN. I CAN'T AFFORD $2000+ FOR REPAIRS. APPARENTLY LOTS OF CR-V OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH AC COMPRESSOR. HONDA SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS VEHICLE AND PAY FOR ITS REPAIRS. *TR
