2002 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I OWN A HONDA CRV 2002 EX WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND ~12,000 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN IN OUR DRIVE WAY, THE EXACT SPOT. IT'S HARD TO START AFTERWARDS. SHE DOES START TO UNDO THE SEAT BELT RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR DIES. THIS IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. *JB

THE DEALER NOTICED CORROSION ON THE FRONT AND REAR GUIDE PINS AND CALIPERS WHICH CAUSED BRAKE PROBLEMS. *NLM.

THE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ILLUMINATED, ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL IT MEANT THE FUEL CAP WAS LOOSE OR THERE WAS A WITH THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE THE FUEL CAP WAS SECURED. *JB

2002 HONDA CRV PURCHASED AT BRICKELL HONDA 12/02 IN MIAMI, FL. ON 3/6/2003, AS CAR WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY (PALMETTO EXPRESSWAY) DURING RUSH HOUR, THE CAR TURNED OFF, STEERING LOCKED. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T GET HIT BY OTHERS TRAVELING AT EVEN FASTER SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR, SAME EVENING TO BRAMAN HONDA, THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE FOLLOWING DAY IT WAS REPAIRED. SUPPOSEDLY, THE COMPUTER HAD NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I COULD HAVE DIED, CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MYSELF, THE CAR AND MANY OTHERS ON THE SAME ROAD THAT DAY. *NLM

EVERY TIME THERE IS A SUDDEN STOP OR ROUGH STOP, THE VEHICLE STARS SPINNING AROUND. DEALER WAS CONTACTED.

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO EMIT LOUD POPPING NOISES FORM THE BRAKES IN ANY DIRECTION THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINS THIS A AS NORMAL. ALSO THE REAR TAILGATE GLASS WOULDN'T LOCK. *JG

WHEN BACKING UP AND PRESSING THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY THERE IS A LOUD CLUNK NOISE. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS TO COME FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE CLIPS, THE NOISE WAS GONE FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN IT RETURNED.

ME 2002 HONDA CRV HAS A DEFECT IN A MOTOR MOUNT. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS ANNOYING; WHEN I DRIVE ON BUMPY ROADS, THERE IS A "THUNKING" SOUND. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO AMERICAN HONDA. I 'VE TALKED TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY CANNOT REPAIR WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM HONDA.

HONDA CRV ALLOWED THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN IT HADN'T BEEN PLACED FULLY IN PARK, IT WAS IN REVERSE. THE CAR THEN ROLLED INTO THE STREET AND WAS HIT BY A CAR WITH 2 PERSONS. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN REPRODUCED. HONDA SAID THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THIS PART.

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RESTRAIN HIM.*JB
