2012 HONDA CR-V Complaints

ON THE DRIVER SIDE, COLD AIR BLOWS CLOSE TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. UNABLE TO MAKE IT WARM. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE WINTER. I SEE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE DEER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO CARS AROUND AND I HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT THEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHOWERED DOWN ON ME. WHEN I REVIEWED THE DAMAGE, THE GLASS WAS PUSHED OUTWARDS AND THERE WAS NO SIGN SOMETHING HAD IMPACTED IT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR, THE CAR BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT COLD AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE, ITS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE CAR IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS DUE TO THIS ISSUE, AS LEGS AND HANDS BECOME NUMB DUE TO COLD AIR BLOW ON DRIVERS SIDE, WHICH WILL POTENTIALLY LEAD TO PULL OVER MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING OR MAY LEAD T CRASH IN THE FUTURE, MANY 2012 CRV MODELS HAVE THIS ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE CALLED AND THE ISSUE FIXED IMMEDIATELY, THANKS *TR

I WENT TO PARK IN A DIAGONAL, ON STREET PARKING SPOT, AND APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP. THE CAR INSTEAD ACCELERATED, JUMPED THE CURB AND PROCEEDED INTO AN ADJOINING PARKING LOT. I TURNED HARD RIGHT TO AVOID VEHICLES AND STRUCK THE RETAINING WALL AT THE BACK OF THE LOT WITH MY LEFT FRONT QUARTER PANEL. THIS IMPACT STEEPENED THE TURN AND SHOT ME BACK OUT OF THE LOT AND ONTO THE STREET. I PROCEEDED UP THE STREET, THE CAR ACCELERATING ALL THE TIME. I TRIED TO DETERMINE IF I WAS ACCIDENTALLY STEPPING ON THE GAS, AND FELT I WAS INDEED ON THE BRAKE. MY CAR PROCEEDED RAPIDLY UP THE STREET, OVER 1/10TH MILE IN DISTANCE. IN A PANIC TO TRY AND STOP THE CAR I STOMPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH LOCKED UP THE REAR WHEELS. MY REAR TIRES WERE IN A SKID FOR OVER 150 FEET, WHICH PRODUCED A SIDEWAYS SKID, THE CAR TURNING RIGHT AND SLAMMING BROADSIDE INTO A PARK VEHICLE WHICH STOPPED ME. I FEEL THIS IS A CASE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, AND HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF OTHER SUCH INCIDENTS IN LATE MODEL CRVS. *TR

I AM WRITING TO SEE THE ISSUE I AM FACING WITH MY CAR IS A SAFETY CONCERN OR NOT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY INDICATED ALL OF THEIR HONDA CRV 2012 MODELS ARE DESIGNED THE SAME WAY TO PROTECT THE INTERIOR ELECTRIC MECHANISM OF THE CAR. I HAVE A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN IT IS RAINING OR THERE IS MOISTURE ON THE SIDE WINDOWS (ALL FOUR SIDES INCLUDING DRIVER SIDE) OF MY HONDA CRV. SO WHEN IT RAINS OR THERE IS MOISTURE ON THE SIDE WINDOW WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING THEIR OVERNIGHT, I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY TO WIPE OFF ANY WATER DROPLETS OR MOISTURE BY SLIDING MY SIDE WINDOW DOWN. I HAVE TESTED MANY OTHER CARS. ALL OF THEM SQUEEZES OFF THE WATER ON THE WINDOW BY JUST SLIDING THE WINDOW. MY HONDA CRV DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO DO THAT. I BROUGHT THIS TO ATTENTION BACK IN 2012 TO HONDA. I WAS ADVISED TO ALWAYS TO PROPERLY WIPE OFF MY WINDOWS WITH A CLEAN CLOTH BEFORE DRIVING. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE I HAVE CLEAR VISIBILITY BEFORE STARTING TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2011. MY QUESTION WAS WHAT IF IT RAINING HEAVY AND I AM DRIVING. THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO SEE CARS BEHIND ME USING MY SIDE-VIEW MIRROR. I SLIDE MY WINDOW TO HAVE A CLEAR VISIBILITY AND CLOSE MY WINDOW BACK AGAIN. AGAIN THEIR A NEED TO DO SO? SHOULD I KEEP DOING THESE OVER AND OVER? *TR

GAVE THE GAS TO TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP AND THE CAR HAD NO REACTION. SEEMED LIKE THE ENGINE DIED OR STOPPED RUNNING. I HAD TO GIVE THE GAS HARDER AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT AND THE TIRES SKIDDED. THIS HESITATION LEFT MY CAR IN A DANGEROUS POSITION AS I WAS ENTERING A 55 MPH ROAD. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET ON THE ROAD UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME SINCE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2012 CRV EX IN DEC 2012. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES IN MY CAR AC DIED, VIBRATIONS, BATTERY DIED WHILE DRIVING. THE FOLLOWING IS THE MAJOR INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED IN MY CAR. WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40 MILES, THE STEERING OF THE CAR STOPPED RESPONDING AND STARTED RESPONDING AFTER FEW SEC AND THEN WENT BAD. I STOPPED MY CAR CAUTIOUSLY, MISSED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND TRIED TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH. AFTER 10 MINS AND LOT OF HONKS FROM OTHER CAR IT STARTED RESPONDING. WHILE THIS THING WAS GOING ON MY WIFE TOOK THE VIDEO. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SLOWLY DRIVING AND THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE IN THE CAR AND I CAN TAKE THIS AWAY. SCARED TO DEATH, I ASKED DEALER THAT I WILL NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK AND SENT HIM THE VIDEO OF MY CAR BY UPLOADING IT ON YOU TUBE. AS SOON AS THEY SAW THE VIDEO, AS USUAL IT BECAME A SAFETY CONCERNS AND HE THEN DID NOT WANT ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THEY FOUND SOME ISSUE AND FIXED IT AFTER KEEPING THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. NO ISSUES WITH THE STEERING SINCE THEN BUT MY AC DIED SUDDENLY NOW. I TOOK MY CAR OVER 15 TIMES TO DEALERSHIP IN 1 YEAR OF NEW PURCHASE. OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID "THIS IS WHAT WARRANTY IS FOR". GOOD GOING HONDA. I AM NEVER GOING TO BUY ANY CAR IN FUTURE FROM THEM. THEY BELIEVE THEIR PRODUCT IS BERY GOOD AND SO THEY DO NOT DEAL PROPERLY WITH ANY PROBLEM THEY HAVE IN THE CARS. I STILL HAVE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, I CAN SHARE THAT IF IT IS OF SOME USE TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS WITH MY 2012 HONDA CRV. IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE ONLY THING I COULD REALLY DO IS STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT, THE STEERING WORKED FINE AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER IN INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN, TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THEY COULD SEE FROM THE TWO CODES THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY CONTACTED HONDA, WHO INDICATED IT COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY CONNECTION SO THEY CHECKED/REPLACED THE GROUNDING WIRE TO THE BATTERY AND ALSO CHECKED ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS. I PREVIOUSLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE NEW VEHICLE. I HAD TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING EVEN IN THE GARAGE. I HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN THEY DETERMINED I HAD A BAD BATTERY. AFTER THEY REPLACE THE BATTERY, I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING AGAIN. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE PREVIOUS BATTERY ISSUE AND THE STEERING ISSUE COULD BE RELATED I HAVE ONLY BEEN DRIVING IT A FEW DAYS, BUT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN AS YET. IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY HONDA DEALER AND UPDATE THIS COMPLAINT. HAVING STEERING FAILURE IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT. *TR

THE LISTED VEHICLE ABOVE STALLS OR HESITATES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND CHANGING SPEEDS. *TR
