2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

VEHICLE TIRES LOSING AIR DUE TO DEFECT IN SEAM OF RIM. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OF MY CAR'S TIRES AND RIMS. COSTCO AUTO REPAIR PERSONNEL ADVISED THAT THERE IS A HOLE IN THE SEAM (OF THE RIM) WHICH IS CAUSING AIR TO LEAK OUT OF THE TIRE. *TR

SERIOUS VIBRATIONS WHEN MAKING A SHARP LEFT OR RIGHT TURN ON HONDA CRV 2006 MODEL. BASED ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS AND HONDA DEALER IN FREMONT, IT IS BECAUSE OF THE BAD REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HONDA WARRANTY SAYS THAT THIS FLUID SHOULD BE REPLACED BETWEEN 60,000 - 90,000 MILES WHILE MY CRV HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I ASKED THE HONDA DEALER TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY DENIED. I WANT HONDA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

2005 CRV HAS HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM BURN OUT PROBLEM AS I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. THE HEADLIGHTS BURNS OUT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. BOTH SOMETIMES BOTH BURN OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS. SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT THAT I KNOW OF. SINCE 2006 HAVE REPLACE 6 BULBS. *TR

LED LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD OF MY 2005 HONDA CRV BEGAN FAILING APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO (MAY 2008) AND HAVE NOW BURNED OUT ON LEFT SIDE, OBSCURING TACHOMETER AND TEMP GAUGE AND 1/2 OF SPEEDOMETER. HONDA SERVICE IN NEW BRITAIN CT (SCHALLER) REFUSED TO FIX UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (LIGHT BULBS NOT COVERED). IT APPEARS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. HONDA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL ALL '05 CRVS FOR A GLOBAL FIX. *TR

LEFT FIRESTONE AUTO TO GET AN IL CHANGE ON UNIVERISTY BLVD AFTER OIL CHANGE, PROCEEDED ONTO UNIVERSITY BLVD, MADE A LEFT ONTO BROADHEAD ROAD(?), MADE A RIGHT INTO DOLLAR BANK PARKING LOT. PULLED UP TO ATM AND ATM WAS OUT OF SERVICE. DROVE AROUND THE BUILDING TO GO INTO THE BANK TO GET MONEY OUT INSTEAD. TURNED INTO PARKING SPOT FOUR, PUMPED GAS THEN BRAKE....CAR ACCELERATED AND I PUMPED ON BRAKES AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I HIT A POLE IN FRONT OF THE BANK, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND SMELLED OF BURNING OIL AND SMOKE. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND APPEARED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. *TR

LED LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD STOPPED WORKING. I CAN NO LONGER SEE MY SPEEDOMETER AT NIGHT, OR THE MILEAGE GAUGE. I RAISED THIS TO ATTENTION OF HONDA DEALERSHIP/REPAIR AND THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE--APPROXIMATELY $100. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. ALSO, AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS HAS REPEATEDLY BURNED OUT SINCE PURCHASE--I'VE REPLACED IT TWICE. *TR

THE FOLLOWING IS A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY VEH, WHICH I HOPE YOU CAN RESOLVE. CR.V 2005 VIN # [XXX] MAINTENANCE HISTORY: ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WERE PERFORMED BY HONDA OF NANUET. PROBLEM: APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE THE LED LIGHTS OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, STARTING FROM THE LEFT SIDE, BEGIN TO GO OUT. RESULTING THAT DURING NIGHT-TIME DRIVING I AM UNABLE TO SEE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND PART OF THE RPM GAUGE. DURING A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE I BROUGHT THIS SITUATION UP, TO THE SVC MGR WHO PROMPTLY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A COVERED ITEM. I MENTIONED THAT I WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MORE OF THE LED LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING; THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT CONTINUE TO WORK ARE THE ONES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SPEEDOMETER THAT LIGHT UP 120MPH THRU 140MPH. THIS SITUATION IN MY OPINION IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. AND MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. THE LEDS OBLIVIOUSLY WERE DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN NANUET. SINCE THIS SITUATION IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS- SINCE I DO USE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, I AM RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING THAT HONDA REPLACE THE LEDS LIGHTS AT NO COST TO ME. I SPOKE WITH MR SERGIO SALVADOR, CUST SVC ON 4/1/10 WHO SIMPLY STATED THAT I SHOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING EARLIER. I TOLD THAT I DID INFORMED THE DEALER SERVICE MGR TWO YEARS AFTER PURCHASE, OF THE PROBLEM AND MY CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY DRIVING AT NIGHT, I ALSO TOLD THAT THIS DEFECT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH SEVERE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES, AND FURTHER EMPHASIZED THAT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM 3 YEARS AGO BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. MR. SALVADOR STILL MAINTAINED THAT HONDA WOULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIR. I TOLD HIM THAT THE LED LIGHTS MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE ONSET. THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THEREFORE I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2005 HONDA CRV. THE UPPER REAR HINGE ON THE TRUNK (OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE) RUSTED COMPLETELY OFF AND THE DOOR FELL OFF THE UPPER HINGE, AND DAMAGED THE LOWER HINGE AS WELL FROM THE WEIGHT. IT FELL ONTO MY UPPER LEG SEVERELY BRUISING IT, AND I HAD TO MUSCLE THE DOOR BACK ON UNTIL IT COULD BE REPAIRED. ACCORDING TO AMERICAN HONDA AND MY CASE N012010-03-3101277 (GENE) RUST IS ONLY COVERED FOR 3 YEARS. I AM ASTOUNDED THAT THEY FEEL THIS KIND OF THING IS OK TO HAVE HAPPEN AND THAT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP RESOLVE THIS CLAIM. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED SO THAT THIS HINGE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS - THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT IT IS AT RISK FOR RUST BASED ON EXPOSURE. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T FALL OFF AN INJURE ANYONE OR FALL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING/

CAR HAD UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AFTER TURNING RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPACE AND JUMPED THE CURB AND CRASHED INTO AN APARTMENT HOUSE PATIO. *CN

2005 HONDA CRV-SE: I REPLACED DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP IN 2008. IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING, I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A HEADLAMP IN ANY CAR I'VE OWNED. (I BUY A NEW CAR EVERY 10 YEARS, AND I'VE OWNED CADILLAC, VOLKSWAGEN, MAZDA, AND PONTIAC PRIOR TO HONDA.) MY HONDA ALSO HAS A BURNED OUT DASH LIGHT AND I'VE REPLACED THE DOME LIGHT. *TR
