2012 HONDA CR-V Complaints

[XXX] REPORTS HIGH BEAMS MUCH LOWER INTENSITY THAN LOW BEAMS. THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AHEAD AT ANY SPEED. MUST USE LOW BEAMS ONLY. SAFETY HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHENEVER I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, UPON RE-STARTING (ONLY IF THERE IS AN INCLINE IN THE STREET) THE MOTOR ALMOST STOPS. I MUST PUMP THE GAS PEDDLE, IT SEEMS, TO CAUSE FUEL TO ENTER. THEN THE CAR TAKES OFF TOO FAST IN THE TRAFFIC. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR CANNOT FIND (OR EXPERIENCE) THE PROBLEM. BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY A MALFUNCTION--DANGEROUS AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS GOING IN MY GARAGE. ICE AT FRONT OF GARAGE. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND I ENDED UP IN MY GARAGE WALL, DAMAGING MY CAR AND KITCHEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL IN MY NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY AND HIT THE GARAGE DOOR. ...UPDATED 04/21/15*BF

THIS CR-V SOMETIMES HESITATES TO CRANK. IT WILL CRANK AFTER THE 2ND TRY. IT ALSO HAS A VERY HIGH PITCH SOUND AT 55 MPH THAT IS VERY ANNOYING. *TR

THE HIGH BEAMS LIGHTS IN MY HONDA ARE A SAFETY HAZARD, THEY AREN'T BRIGHT AND DON'T LIGHT THE ROAD UP AT ALL. ITS SO BAD THAT EVEN IF YOU LEAVE THE HIGH BEAMS ON THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE THEY ARE ON. I CANT BELIEVE HONDA WOULD ALLOW SOMETHING THIS UNSAFE TO GO TO THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO NUMEROUS HONDA DEALERS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY RECALLS OR SAFETY BULLETINS PERTAINING TO HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2012 HONDA. THIS NEEDS TO COME TO A HEAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT BY THIS HORRIBLE DESIGN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS CHAT BOARDS ONLINE DISCUSSING THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING. WHY SHOULD WE AS CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SUFFER FROM THIS POOR DESIGN TACTIC. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN COME OF THIS SOON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER JUMPSTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATED TO THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,666.

I. HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. I ONLY DRIVE OCCASIONALLY AT NIGHT. THE HIGH BEAM POINTS TOO HIGH AND THE LOW BEAM TOO LOW. I ASKED REP IN SERVICE DEPT. AT DON JACOBS, LEXINGTON, KY AND HE ADVISED THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SET AT FACTORY. THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO ADJUST THEM. I DON'T THINK HE EVEN MADE OUT A REPORT. BUT THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, HONDA SHOULD HAVE A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM. 2. BATTERY. LOCAL TEMPS HAVE BEEN -/+ ZERO OUTSIDE. MY HONDA IS PARKED IN GARAGE AND TEMPS IN THIS COLD WEATHER IN MY GARAGE IS 34 DEGREES, AVERAGE.. MY HONDA "GROANS" WHEN STARTING, BUT SO FAR HAS MANAGED TO GET STARTED. I HAVE NOT MENTIONED THIS TO DON JACOBS AS I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY WOULD PROBABLY SAY "IT WAS SET AT FACTORY".

WINDOW SWITCH ON DRIVERS SIDE FOR FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK AND THE WINDOW IS HARDLY USED. *TR

SEAT BELTS ON VEHICLE HAVE INSUFFICIENT TENSION, FAIL TO RETRACT FULLY WHEN TAKEN OFF. SEAT BELT LATCHES THEN GET CAUGHT BETWEEN DOOR AND DOOR FRAME, THUS CAUSING DOOR TO CLOSE ON THEM AND RISK BENDING OR BREAKING THEM. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED AN INDENTATION IN ONE INSIDE DOOR FRAME WHERE THE "DOOR CLOSED" BUTTON CONTACTS, THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO THINK THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF THE BELT LATCHES BECOME BENT OR WEAKENED BY THE STRESS OF REPEATED DOOR CLOSINGS. *TR
