2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

REGARDING 2006 HONDA CRV. PROBLEM - DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AUTO FUNCTION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. PROBLEM BEGAN PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE REACHING 30,000 MILES. WINDOW STOPS GOING UP AS IF IT HIT AN OBSTRUCTION. SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO DOWN AT ALL. DEALER WOULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER 10,000 MILES, BUT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD TOO MUCH PLAY IN IT. HONDA ALSO SUPPOSEDLY ISSUED A BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS REGARDING PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM WATER AND DEBRIS GETTING INTO THE WINDOW MECHANISMS. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 1996 HONDA ACCORD AND 20005 HONDA CRV. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH BOTH VEHICLES WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW IS THAT THE POWER LOCKS CLICKS UP AND DOWN FROM TIME TO TIME, EVEN AFTER LOCKING THE DOORS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES, BUT MAY BE I AM THE FIRST TO MENTION IT. HOWEVER, WITH THE DOORS LOCKS, IT PUTS YOUR SAFETY AND SECURITY AT RISK AND THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH EACH VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. *TR

PARKED IN A SPOT IN FRONT OF PARTY CITY, FOOT WAS ON BRAKE AND I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE BUILDING. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED BECAUSE I HIT A BRICK WALL I WENT TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. I REMOVED THE KEY. FORTUNATLEY NO ONE WAS INJURED, MY 2 GRANDSONS WERE IN THE BACK IN THEIR CAR SEATS AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. MY CAR IS GOING TO BE REPAIRED BY A HONDA DEALER AND I WILL STRESS WHAT HAPPENED BUT DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL PROBABLY SAY THAT I AM A CRAZY LADY AND MUST OF STEPPED ON THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I ABSOLUTELY KNOW THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ME. I ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO AUTO DRIVE. WHAT CAN I DO-THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE!

ABS PROBLEM - SACRED TO DRIVE WHEN IT SNOWS I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV AND HONDA ACCORD. THE PROBLEM IS MORE PROMINENT ON THE CRV. WHEN THERE IS SNOW ON THE ROAD, ABS KICKS IN AND THE CAR DOES NOT STOP WHEN BRAKING, EVEN WHEN THE SPEED IS ONLY 10MPH. THIS HAPPENS MORE IF COMING DOWN A GRADIENT. THE GRADIENT CAN BE VERY LITTLE. THIS REALLY SCARES ME AS I CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT. I NEVER HAD SUCH A PROBLEM WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD HONDA CIVIC, WHICH DIDN'T HAVE AN ABS SYSTEM.. I DO AGREE, THAT THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS ABOUT THIS. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WHY THE ABS HAS TO COME ONLINE EVEN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. ABS IN EFFECT ONLY INCREASES ACCIDENTS. WE WERE VERY LUCKY SO FAR, THAT WE NEVER HAD A CRASH, BUT WERE VERY CLOSE TO MAKE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) [XXX] I AM WRITING YOU FOR THE ACCIDENT IN SEPT. 12, 2009, I DROVE THE HONDA 2006 CRV SE IN THE LOCAL ROAD NAMED CONCORD FARM NORTH BOUND. BEFORE STOP SIGN, I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BRAKE, AS USUAL IT STOPPED BEFORE THE STOP SIGN, BUT THAT DAY IT DID NOT. AT THE MOMENT I REALIZED I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR, I WAS THINKING TO CROSS ROAD, BUT THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT I GOT HIT BY THE CAR WHO TRAVELED ON THE ROAD PERPENDICULAR TO MY DIRECTION. THIS ACCIDENT WAS CONSIDERED AS MY MISTAKE. SINCE I DID NOT HAVE COLLISION INSURANCE AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED WHICH IS THE BIG FINANCIAL LOSS (ACTUAL MARKET VALUE ESTIMATED IN $20K) IN MY LIFE. AT THE SAME TIME I SUFFERED THE BURNING ON ARM FROM THE AIRBAG POPUP AND FREQUENT NOISE ON EARS. UNTIL TODAY I STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH INSURANCE COMPANY ON MEDIAL COVERAGE. I AM THE CAREFUL DRIVER AND NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ACCIDENT CAUSED BY MYSELF. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY HAPPEN ON THE DAY AT THE TIME. AT THE BEGINNING I BLAME THE BRAKE, WHICH MIGHT BE WORE OUT SINCE I JUST HAVE TIRES REPLACED (THE LIFE TIME FOR THE TIRES SHOULD BE 6 YEARS OR OVER 70K MILES BUT ACTUALLY WORE OUT IN 3 YEARS AND 45K MILES). BUT THE TECHNICIAN NEVER WARNS ME FOR REPLACING BRAKES. AFTER I REPORTED MY SUSPICIOUS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY THEN THERE WAS A PHONE MESSAGE FROM SOME ONE DECLARED THE BRAKE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION (I ASSUME THE PHONE MESSAGE WAS FROM INSURANCE COMPANY). ANY WAY I HAVE TO ADMIT ALL ARE MY OWN BAD LUCK. RECENTLY I WATCHED THE NEWS AND LEARNED THAT TOYOTA HAS RECALL OVER A LOT OF MODELS FOR ACCELERATOR PROBLEM AND I NOTICED THAT BOTH THE ELECTRONIC AND MECHANIC COMPONENTS USED ON ACCELERATORS ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY CTS. WE KNEW IT TOOK TOYOTA ABOUT 8 YEARS TO EVENTUALLY ADMIT THEIR DESIGN PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE HONDA MIGHT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS TOYOTA. FROM A CUSTOMER POINT OF VIEW I WANT TO KNOW THE STATISTICS ON HONDA CRV ACCIDENT ON 2006 MODEL. *TR

2005 CR-V: THE LOW BEAMS BURN OUT CONSTANTLY AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. THE TWO BULBS BURN OUT VIRTUALLY BACK-TO-BACK WITHIN 10 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE WITH ONLY MY BRIGHTS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF THIS IN 150,000 MILES OF DRIVING...ONCE ON VACATION, NO LESS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO OTHER OWNERS OF SAME MODEL WITH SAME COMPLAINT. FOR THE RECORD, I OWNED A 2002 CR-V WHERE I RARELY REPLACED ANY BULBS IN 200,000 MILES! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND CREATES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN - PERHAPS THE DESIGNED VOLTAGE IS GREATER THAN THE BULBS CAN ACCEPT RESULTING IN FREQUENT BULB FAILURE FAR ABOVE (WHAT I BELIEVE) A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS WOULD DEEM WITHIN AN ACCEPTABLE MARGIN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE! *TR THE CONSUMER NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE PUT CONTINUOUSLY RECEIVES RECALL NOTICES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *JS

ON 2010 JANUARY 04 AT 15:00 I WAS DRIVING WEST IN MY 2005 HONDA CR-V ON THE NY STATE THRUWAY IN THE LEFT LANE, WHEN AT MILE MARKER 233.3 I RECEIVED A HEAD CONCUSSION FROM THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG, WHICH INFLATED BUT DID NOT DEFLATE. I WAS UNCONSCIOUS FOR SOME TIME, AND I DO NOT REMEMBER SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. MY CAR SUFFERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION, BUT NO OTHER PEOPLE OR VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND ARRANGED TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP IN ORISKANY, NY, AND I WAS TAKEN TO A MOTEL. TEN DAYS LATER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, AND THE DEFECTIVE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG WAS PRESERVED BY THE REPAIR SHOP. *TR
