2003 HONDA CR-V Complaints

AFTER THE SHIFT CABLE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 03V 274000 WAS PERFORMED THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING. ALSO, WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT IDLED HIGH. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH FRONT BRAKES ON 2003 HONDA CRV.*MR THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. WHEN THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THE STATED IT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SUV AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALER DID REPLACE THE LOWER BRAKE PAD RETAINER CLIPS AS PER SERVICE BULLETIN. THE CONSUMER WAS OFFERED TO DRIVE ANOTHER 2003 CRV TO PROVE THE NOISY BRAKES WERE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER WASN'T HAPPY WITH THIS AND WOULD LIKE SOME SORT OF DISCOUNT OR THE DEALER TO PAY OFF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT WOULDN'T LATCH. CONSUMER HAD THE THROTTLE CABLE REPLACED TO ELIMINATE THE NOISE BUT TO NO AVAIL. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE NOISE WILL NEVER GO COMPLETELY AWAY. *PH *NLM

6 DAYS AFTER HAVING THROTTLE CABLE RECALL AND A/T SHIFT CABLE RECALL AND O/C, CAR BURST INTO FLAMES (TOTALED) WHILE DRIVING 20-25 MPH. HONDA SAYS NOT DEFECT? CAR HAD 8200 MILES ON ODOMETER. NO EVIDENCE THAT OIL FROM O/C CAUSED FIRE. HONDA INVESTIGATIONS HAS NO ANSWER. FIRE STARTED OR WAS FIRST EVIDENT IN DRIVERS WHEEL WELL AREA. *LA

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED AND VEHICLE COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF THEN ON AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE UNLOCKED. *PH *NLM

WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK THAT STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE. CONSUMER STATED "NO OBJECTS MADE CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAUSE OF THE CRACK WAS UNDETERMINED BY DEALERSHIP. *AK

WHEN THE "AUTO" INDICATOR LIGHT GOES OUT ON THE DASHBOARD POWER WINDOWS AND SUN ROOF STOP OPERATING. DRIVER HAS TO MANEUVER THE IGNITION SWITCH OR RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET THE WINDOWS AND SUN ROOF TO OPERATE. DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH 2003 HONDA CRV.*MR THE CONSUMER STATED TWO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE DEALER HE NOTED THINGS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT ISSUED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED AND FEELS UNSAFE ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. * CB

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE CONSUMER PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND STOPPED, HE CHECKED ALL THE TIRES AND THE NOTICED LEFT REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT AND WAS SHREDDED. THE STEEL BELT INSIDE OF TIRE WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SCHWABS, AND ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED.*AK *TS *JB

AUTO-REVERSE MECHANISM WORKS INTERMITTENTLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW. IT HAS POWER UP FEATURE (WHICH I THINK IS A BAD IDEA ALL-AROUND). IT IS SUPPOSED TO AUTO-REVERSE IF IT MEETS RESISTANCE ON THE WAY UP. IN MANY CASES, IT DOES NOT WORK AND WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE APPLIED AGAINST THE WINDOW, IT WANTS TO KEEP PUSHING UP VERY STRONGLY. THIS WOULD KILL A KID OR PET IF THEY GOT CAUGHT IN THERE. WANTED DEALER TO TURN IT OFF, BUT THEY SAID IT COULD NOT BE DONE. I WILL GO BACK TO HAVE THEM REPLACE UNIT, AS IT IS DANGEROUS. I AM SURE THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO ENSURE THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND CONSIDERS OFFERING A RECALL TO AVOID CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.*JB

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BRAKES MADE LOUD NOISE. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE TWICE, AND STATED IT WAS UNDER HONDA SPECIFICATIONS. *AK
