2012 HONDA CR-V Complaints

THIS INCIDENT CONCERNS THE HORN. IT IS A JOKE AND A DANGEROUS ON AT THAT. AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-20 OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA I WAS DRIVING ALONE SIDE A PICK-UP TRUCK TO MY RIGHT. MY FRONT BUMPER WAS ABOUT EVEN WITH THE TRUCK'S WINDOWS POST. THE TRUCK STARTED MOVING OVER INTO MY LANE AND SINCE THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR BESIDE ME (ON MY LEFT) I COULD NOT MOVE OVER SO I STARTED BLOWING THE HORN. I COULD BARELY HEAR IT SO I KNOW DRIVER OF THE TRUCK COULD NOT HEAR IT SO HE CONTINUED TO MOVE OVER INTO MY LANE. MY ONLY CHOICE WAS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND LET THE CAR TO MY LEFT PASS ME AND MOVE OVER BEHIND IT. I WAS MISSED BY INCHES BY THE CAR THAT WAS FOLLOWING THAT CAR. THAT DRIVER HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES VERY HARD SO AS NOT TO HIT ME. THE HORN NEEDS TO BE MUCH LOUDER THEN IT IS. *TR

IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WITH AND WITHOUT THE ECON BUTTON ON, THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS. TOOK IT TO HONDA AND ASKED THEM TO DRIVE TO WITNESS THE PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THEY DROVE IT. THE PROBLEM IS SOMEWHAT INTERMITTENT, SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR DRIVING JUST IN CASE IT MIGHT HAPPEN. THE DEALER TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE WITH ECON BUTTON IN CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THAT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CR-V APPROX 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY IN FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED AND COLLAPSED. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS CLOSE BY TO HAVE THE AUTO EXAMINED. I CONTACTED HONDA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE AND NEITHER HONDA OR THE DEALERSHIP HAD ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE WINDOW TO EXPLODE OTHER THAN A FOREIGN OBJECT HITTING THE WINDOW. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ACCORDING TO HONDA. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES AT THE TIME THE WINDOW EXPLODED. I WAS ALSO NOT NEAR A LARGE TRUCK OR A MOWING VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE THROWN UP DEBRIS THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE SIDE WINDOW. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NOT ANY UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM SUCH AS ANY PRESSURE ON THE WINDOW MECHANISM OR PROBLEMS RELATED TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES SUCH AS OUR AREA HAS BEEN HAVING. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUSED A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT AND OR A FATALITY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT INTO PARK. THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. VERY FRUSTRATED IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND I TRIED WIGGLING THE KEY. I COULD TURN CAR OFF BUT SO IT WASN'T RUNNING BUT IT WAS ON ENOUGH FOR AUDIO TO STAY ON. I DROVE AROUND HOPING I COULD RESET WHAT PROBLEM WAS BUT DID THE SAME THING WHEN I PARKED. I HAD TO LEAVE KEY IN IGNITION TILL THE BATTERY DIED, WHICH TOOK TILL THE NEXT DAY. WE PUT KEY IN AGAIN AFTER IT CAME OUT AND IT DID THE SAME THING AND GOT STUCK AGAIN AND GOT HOT WHEN WE DID GET IT OUT. WE JUMP STARTED CAR ENOUGH TO GET TO DEALERSHIP AND KEY DID SAME THING WHEN I PARKED IT THERE UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED AND THEN IT WAS ABLE TO COME OUT. THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID IN SERVICE PAPER THAT "THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS PINCHING THE WIRE FROM THE PARK PIN SWITCH CAUSING SHORT ELECTRICAL DIG" AND THEY SENT PICS AND INFORMATION TO TECH LINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED A VERY YELLOW LARGE SPIDER CRAWLING ACROSS MY DASHBOARD. I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD FINDING A NAPKIN TO KILL IT SO IT DIDN'T GET ON ME AS IT WAS MAKING IT'S WAY TO ME VERY QUICKLY FROM THE DASH TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL!!! THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER, ANOTHER SPIDER. (ME THINKING I DIDN'T GET THE FIRST ONE!?) THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER ANOTHER SPIDER AND THIS MORNING WHILE AT THE DUNKIN DONUTS DRIVE-THRU, ANOTHER SPIDER!!!!! ALL OF THESE I HAVE MANAGED TO KILL WHICH ONLY TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE A BUNCH OF SPIDERS IN MY DASHBOARD OR SOMETHING!!! THE ONE TODAY CAME OUT OF THE VENT JUST OVER THE A/C VENT DRIVERS SIDE!??!?! EACH TIME I SEE ONE, IT'S ON THE DASHBOARD INITIALLY AND THEN QUICKLY MOVES AROUND. THIS IS THE LAST THING I NEED AND I WANT THE CAR TORN APART TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM AND HAVE THEM REMOVED IMMEDIATELY! I'M FREAKING OUT! I AM WAITING ON CALL BACKS FROM BOTH HOLLMAN HONDA (THE DEALERSHIP WHICH HAS NEVER HEARD ABOUT ANY SPIDER ISSUES) AS WELL AS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. OF HONDA ITSELF TO OPEN A CASE ABOUT THIS MATTER. BEING THAT THEY ARE POISONOUS (MAZDA HAD A RECALL ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE EVIDENTLY ALTHOUGH HONDA ISN'T ISSUING A RECALL AT THE MOMENT). THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND I PAID CASH FOR IT OTHERWISE, I WOULD TRADE IT IN IF IT WERE A LEASE. I AM TERRIFIED OF SPIDERS AND THESE ARE POISONOUS!!!! HELP!! I CAN'T KEEP DRIVING THIS CAR! SCARED OUT OF MY MIND AND NEEDING A REMEDY FAST! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
