UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT TO MAXIMUM THROTTLE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT, AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS WELL CLEAR OF THE PEDAL. PUSHING HARD ON THE BRAKE HAD LITTLE EFFECT. FINALLY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CITY ROAD WHERE TWO LANES IN OUR DIRECTION MERGE TO ONE. SPEED LIMIT 40 MPH; HEAVY TRAFFIC. NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLIDING WITH CAR AHEAD. CAR THEN TOWED TO HONDA DEALER, AND IS AWAITING EVALUATION BY DISTRICT MANAGER.

MY REAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN I PUSH THE DOOR LOCK FROM THE INTERIOR, USE THE KEY FROM THE EXTERIOR OR THE FOB. MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T UNLOCK AND NOW MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WON'T LOCK WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS OR UNLOCK WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOORS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL UP OR PUSH DOWN ON THE LOCK LEVER. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOESN'T UNLOCK 95% OF THE TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. OTHER'S HAVE COMPLAINED AND HAVE STATED THIS IS A RECALL. I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THE LOCK ACTUATOR. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS HAD ISSUES FOR OVER 6 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PREMATURE FAILURE WITH THE FRONT ARM BUSHINGS. THE DEALER (BROWN'S HONDA CITY, 7160 RITCHIE HWY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061, (410) 553-8014) STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL CAMPAIGN PERTAINING TO THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN THE SECOND RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. TWO YEARS AGAIN I HAD TO BRING IT IN FOR THE SAME RECALL, THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME AS IT TAKES TIME FOR ME TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS. IN THE PAST THE PARTS WERE NOT MADE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE RECALL HAD BEEN IN PLACE FOR ALMOST A YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED AND I HAD TO TRAVEL 2 HOURS TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED FOR THIS RECALL. NOW AGAIN ANOTHER RECALL ON THE SAME PART?

THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM BULB FAILS AFTER LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OF REPLACEMENT RECURRING ISSUE. I HAVE INSTALLED 2 DIFFERENT MANUFACTURES BULBS PLUS ONE OEM BULB WITH SAME FAILURE OCCURRING IN 3 MONTHS OR LESS AND LESS THAN 2K MILES. BULB HAS FAILED BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY MODE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FAIRFAX COUNTY PARKWAY (WESTBOUND BETWEEN GREENSPRING VILLAGE AND ROLLING RD) AT ABOUT 40 OR 45MPH, THE HOOD ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV OPENED BY ITSELF. IT FLEW OPEN AND OBSTRUCTED THE WINDOW. I HAD TO STOP IN A TRAVEL LANE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE SHOULDER AT LOW SPEED. I'M LUCKY I WASNT HURT AND DIDNT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD NOT OPENED THE HOOD IN WEEKS.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY WORKED (CONVENIENTLY WORKING WHEN TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP) DURING 2-5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. NOW IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, AND WINDOW IS STUCK UP.

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTING ACTING STRANGE - ACCELERATION WAS VERY WEAK, STEERING WAS HEAVY, AND WHEN I WAS STOPPED CAR WOULD NEARLY STALL. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH WAS ALARMING. I TOOK CAR INTO HONDA DEALER AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THEY SAID I NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO A GLITCH IN THE INITIAL SOFTWARE AND CHARGED ME $224 WHICH I WAS NOT HAPPY TO PAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THEIR CAR SOFTWARE SINCE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE AFFECTED THEIR CAR SOFTWARE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY, THREATENING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON BUT THEY FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BULBS WERE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
