2013 HONDA CR-V Complaints

BACK DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. I ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE KEY FOB, WHICH HAS BATTERIES AND UNLOCKED THE OTHER DOORS. I THEN TRIED TO UNLOCK IT BY PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. I CONTINUED TO TRY ALL THE OTHER DOORS UNLOCK BUTTONS WITH NO LUCK. I AM UNABLE TO USE THE BACK PORTION OF THE VEHICLE SEEING AS I CAN'T GET TO IT. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES FROM PUTTING GROCERIES BACK THERE TO ACCESSING MY SPARE TIRE IF NEEDED.

THERE ARE TWO CONCERNS. 1. THE IGNITION KEY BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT, ALMOST BURNING TEMPERATURE WHEN HELD IN BARE HAND. THERE SEEMS NO CORRELATIONS TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN OR THE OUTSIDE CONDITIONS. THIA DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. 2. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF HAVE RECEIVED PAINFUL "STATIC ELECTRIC" SHOCKS WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN HAPPEN EVEN IN WARM WEATHER. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE SHOCKING AND THAT THE KEY GETTING HOT IS NOT A PROBLEM.

I NOTICED THAT HONDA CRV ARE BEING RECALLED. MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT WAS STALLING WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER HE SAYS THAT WAS NORMAL, STALLING WAS OK. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT DOES NOT TELL YOU WHEN IT IS ON, IT IS ALWAYS OFF AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS ON.

BAD ANGLE ON THE HEADREST AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. COSTING ME TIME OFF WORK AND PHYSICAL THERAPY. NOT VERY SAFE AFTER ALL IF YOU KEEP DRIVING WITH NECK AND BACK PAIN. DEFINITELY WILL SELL CAR ASAP SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THAT.

WHEN I START THE ENGINE IN THE MORNING (COLD), IT MAKES A WHIRRING/GRATING SOUND THAT LASTS JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS. IT DOESN'T MAKE THIS SOUND AGAIN ALL DAY, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 8+ HOURS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT.

WE TRADED IN A 2005 HONDA CRV FOR A 2013 HONDA CRV. THE 2005 WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT 70,000 MILES. THE 2013 STARTED WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE 2005 AFTER OWNING IT FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND VIBRATE BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM THE SAME WAYS I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM IN THE 2005 CRV. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD US IT WOULD HAVE TO GET WORSE. LAST MONTH IT GOT WORSE: IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT FOR UP TO 10 SECONDS THAT I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE WEEKS AND WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED WITH A TORQUE CONVERSION DEFECT. TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT HONDA MOTOR COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE SHAKING PROBLEM GOING BACK TO 2002. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY BULLETINS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAD A YOU TUBE VIDEO ABOUT IT. IT APPEARS NOW THAT THE 2005 CRV WE TRADED IN ACTUALLY HAD A TORQUE CONVERSION PROBLEM, NOT A BAD TRANSMISSION. I PAID AND EXTRA $18,000 FOR A CAR THAT I DIDN'T NEED. AT WHAT POINT DOES HONDA MOTORS INFORM THE CONSUMERS AND DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE? WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS WITHHOLDING OF CRUCIAL INFORMATION? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE WELDS ON THE STEEL RIMS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY CORRODE PRE MATURELY ARE CAUSE TIRE PRESSURE TO DROP. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS LESS THEN TWO YEARS OLD. HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY . IT'S NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY HONDA . THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS AT ANY TIME THIS DEFECTIVE WELD CAN BECOME WORSE AND CAUSE THE RIM TO COLLAPSE AND TIRE TO BLOW. WOULD YOU WANT TO DRIVE THIS AT HIGH SPEEDS? HONDA IS AN ARROGANT COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO BE HUMBLED AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS PROBLEMS. ALSO, ON THIS VEHICLE THE COMPASS DOES NOT FUNCTION. YOU'LL BE DRIVING EAST AND THE COMPASS SAYS SW. AGAIN HONDA SAYS NOT THERE PROBLEM. LASTLY, THE DIGITAL MPG GAUGE IS MISLEADING AND HIGHLY INACCURATE. IT OVERESTIMATES THE REAL MPG AND MISLEADS CUSTOMERS TO BELIEVE THERE GETTING BETTER MILEAGE. FRAUD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

CAR WOULD NOT START. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, THE ENGINE CRANKED SLOWLY, THEN THE STARTER ONLY CLICKED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED REGULARLY (20 MIN DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK) IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT. CAR WAS JUMP STARTED WITH ANOTHER CAR AND IT STARTED UP PROPERLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND IT SEEMS THAT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR 2012 CR-V ALSO APPLIED TO THE 2013 CR-V -- TSB 12-041. HOWEVER, WHEN I HAD SEARCHED THE LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE 2013 CR-V, THE ISSUE DIDN'T COME UP ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I THINK THIS SERVICE BULLETIN SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE 2013 CR-V AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ROTORS VIBRATED CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
