2012 HONDA CR-V Complaints

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATER OVER HEATED AND CAUGHT A TOTE BAG THAT WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT ON FIRE. ACCORDING TO THE USERS MANUAL THE BACK OF THE SEAT DOES NOT HAVE A HEATING ELEMENT DUE TO THE SIDE AIR BAG--MY CAR'S SEAT BACK DOES HEAT UP. IN FACT IT GETS VERY HOT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK WAS INSTALLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE--AND AS A RESULT I BELIEVE THAT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY IF NEEDED. HUGHES HONDA IN WARNER ROBINS GA CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND ARE INVESTIGATING. *TR

BOTH FRONT SEAT HEADRESTS ARE TOO FAR FORWARD CAUSING NECK PAIN. PEOPLE ARE TURNING THEM AROUND CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION IF ACCIDENT OCCURS. CORRECT NECK REST ANGLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 AT 65 MPH. I ACCIDENTALLY LIGHTLY BUMPED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT CHANGED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. MY SPEED DECREASED ABRUPTLY/UNEXPECTEDLY WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING 70 MPH AND ABOVE BEHIND AND BESIDE ME. IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND WHY IT WAS SLOWING DOWN. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS TOO CLOSE! THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE CITY, FLORIDA, DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER BUT SAID THAT THE OTHER HONDA CRV'S DO THE SAME THING. THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR SHIFT WHICH I THOUGHT YOU MUST DEPRESS TO CHANGE GEARS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE THIS BUTTON. *TR

I WAS TOLD ALL FOUR OF THE BRAKES WERE SHOT BURNT ETC AND PARTS WOULD COST $5,000.00. THEY SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I USED AN AFTER THE MARKET BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY ARE BLAMING BLUE OX. BLUE OX IS BLAMING HONDA. AMERICA HONDA HDQ WERE NOTIFIED BUT THEY SAID SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DEEMED IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT THEY CLOSED MY CASE.
