2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

AS I WAS PARKING MY CAR, IT SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LURCHED FORWARD FULL THROTTLE OUT OF CONTROL OVER THE PARKING BARRIER AND CURB AND THROUGH A STOREFRONT WINDOW. I TRIED TO STOP IT AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME, BUT I COULD NOT, AND IT LODGED ITSELF INTO A DRYWALL COUNTER AND SIDE WALL.(IT WAS LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A 600 POUND SAFE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTER, WHICH PROBABLY STOPPED THE CAR) I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND YELLED FOR HELP. I WAS COVERED IN GLASS AND INJURED MY SHOULDER, NECK, UPPER BACK AND RIGHT LEG. I HAD JUST HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 6 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS. MY CAR WAS MAINTAINED THERE REGULARLY. IT IS FORTUNATE NOBODY WAS KILLED. THE INCIDENT WAS CAUGHT ON THE SECURITY TAPE. *TR

MY LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. AT ONE POINT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IN THE EVENING. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A LOCAL VENDOR (NOT THE DEALER). INITIALLY, THEY DID SOME ELECTRICAL WORK, STATING THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM, BUT HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE BULBS 4 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. HONDA INFORMS ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THEIR HEADLIGHT RECALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2010 AND ONCE AGAIN THE PASSENGER BULB WENT OUT TODAY. WILL HAVE TO TAKE INTO REPAIR SHOP TO SEE IF THEY CAN SOMEHOW FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

3:30AM - AS I WAS SLEEPING, I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. AS I LOOKED OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW, I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS ON FIRE IN DRIVEWAY. I RAN OUTSIDE AND CR-V WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CALLED 911, FIRE DEPT ARRIVED AND PUT FIRE OUT. CHESTER COUNTY FIRE MARSHALL ARRIVED @4:30AM, NOTHING SUSPICIOUS NOTED. CAR AND CONTENTS WERE A TOTAL LOSS. DRIVEWAY WAS RUINED, BUT FORTUNATELY NO OTHER STRUCTURES WERE INVOLVED. *TR

I KEPT LOOSING AIR IN MY TIRES. WENT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND THEY SAID I HAD A CRACKED WHEEL. QUITE A FEW HONDA CRV'S COMING IN WITH THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED 288.00 FOR 1 WHEEL. TALKED TO THE MANAGER ABOUT A RECALL, HE SAID NO BUT HE WOULD GIVE THE WHEEL TO ME AT COST. 188.00. THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE I ASK ABOUT THE OTHER WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE AND HE SAID JUST WAIT FOR THEM TO CRACK AND THEN REPLACE THEM. COULDN'T RELAX DRIVING MY VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE WONDER IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TRADED MY VEHICLE IN ON A NEW VW, BUT WORRY ABOUT THE PERSON WHO MAY BUY IT, AND ALL THE OTHER CRV'S WITH DEFECTIVE WHEELS ON THE ROAD. I LOVED MY HONDA AND IT LOOKED LIKE A NEW CAR AND WAS PAID FOR. *TR
