2002 HONDA CR-V Complaints

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT IS DIM, REPLACED HEADLIGHT BULB AND IT IS STILL DIM. *NLM

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD DRAGGING SOUND WHEN I MADE A U-TURN TO THE LEFT ONLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THE THIRD TIME THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THE FRONT FENDER WAS PRESSING ON THE TIRES WHEN I TURNED. THE SOUND DISAPEARED FEW DAYS AND THEN RETURNED, BUT WAS MORE SUBTLE. IT'S A PAIN TO HEAR THAT SOUND AND NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IN ADDITION, THE LOUD CLICKING SOUND THAT THE TIRES MAKE WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES IS IRRITATING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, AND WITHOUT WARNING THE LEFT REAR SIDE TIRE BLEWOUT, WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. SIZE#P20570R15 . DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THERE WERE 3 SPLITS FROM THE EDGE OF WHEEL THE MOUNTS TOWARD THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE. *TS *JB

THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME HARD TO SHIFT AT TIMES, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD TO MAKE SURE THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED HARD ENOUGH WHEN THE GEAR WAS PLACED INTO PARK OR BEING TAKEN OUT OF PARK. THREE WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED WHILE STILL IN PARK, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PART WAS EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS WHICH CAUSED IT TO RUST. *AK *TS *JB

REAR SUSPENSION ARM MOUNTING BUSHING IS INADEQUATE AND CAUSED THE ARMS FLAT END TO LOCK INTO THE ASPHALT WHEN IT BROKE FREE FROM ITS SPLIT PIN RESTRANTS WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VAULT AND FLIP OR RIP OFF THE REAR WHEEL ASSEMBILY. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH MICE IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CONSUMER HAS CAUGHT A TOTAL OF 8 MICE. *MR THE CONSUMER HAD RUN OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST ROLLED OVER DUE TO A MOUSE RUNNING ACROSS THE CONSUMERS LAP. THE CONSUMER PREVIOUSLY CAUGHT 8 MICE ON THE GLUE BOARDS IN THE CONSUMERS PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSED. *SCC *JB

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ANOTHER VEHICLE JUMPED IN FRONT OF CONSUMER CAUSING HIM TO APPLY BRAKES. THE OTHER VEHICLE HIT HIM FROM THE SIDE. FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. DEALER WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITION PROBLEM.

MAY 19, 2003 AT 6:30PM - BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TIRE BLEW OUT; TIRE SEPARATED FROM TREAD AND FLEW BACK AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK REMAINING PARTS OF TIRE INTO FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE "I CAN WARRANTY OUT THE DAMAGED TIRE AS A DEFECT, BUT CANNOT REPLACE OTHER THREE TIRES - THEY LOOK FINE". I EXPLAINED THE OTHER TIRE WAS "FINE" UNTIL IT BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS SHOCKED THAT HE WAS WILLING TO WARRANTY THE DAMAGED TIRE AS A DEFECT, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE THE OTHER TIRES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE AND COMPARED IT TO OTHER BLOW OUTS WHICH HAVE CAUSED FATAL ACCIDENTS AND FOUND MY TIRE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE OTHER BLOW OUTS. THE POLICE OFFICER WHO SHOWED UP TO THE ACCIDENT DID NOT TAKE A REPORT BUT DID SAY THAT EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LAYING A SPIKE STRIP DOWN WOULD NOT CAUSE A BLOW OUT LIKE THIS AND SUSPECTED A DEFECT.*JB

THE CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. WE USE TO GET ALMOST 320 MILES TO THE GALLON, WE ARE NOW DOWN TO 100 TO 180. THE CAR BUCKS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL. THE V-TEC DOES NOT WANT TO KICK IN ALL THE TIME ANYMORE. LOSS OF POWER. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THE A/C UNIT WENT OUT LAST JULY AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT SINCE. WE SPENT $100 ON SPARK PLUGS THAT WE WERE TOLD WOULD FIX THE FUEL PROBLEM, THAT HAS NOT CHANGED. WE ARE NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS WE HAVE TO FIND THEM OURSELVES. *JB

NAR 05/06/2003 MR THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE SEVERE DAMAGES OCCURRED TO THE VEHICLE, THE FRAME WAS BENT, RADIATOR WAS DEFECTIVE, AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *CB
