MY GEAR SHIFTER MOVES FORWARD WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE SIDE RELEASE WITH MINIMAL FORCE. I AM CONCERNED THAT A CHILD OR SOMEONE REACHING ACROSS CONSOLE COULD PUT THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR. THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WHEN I PRESSED THE SHIFTER INADVERTENTLY WITH MINIMAL FORCE,. MY VEHICLE REPORT STATES THAT THERE ARE NO UNREPAIRED ITEMS WHEN I CHECKED NHTSA WHICH PROMPTED MY REPORT,

ONE COLD WINTER MORNING, MY ENGINE LIGHT, POWER TRAIN AND STEERING WHEEL WARNING SIGNS ALL TURNED ON. I HAD CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS STILL 40% FULL. I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR WAS MOVING SLOW NOT MORE THAN 20MPH. ALSO THE GAS GALLON INDICATOR WENT FROM 36MPG TO 20MPG. IT IS BURNING WAY MORE GAS THAN IT WAS. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR HONDA CR-V MODEL. I KNOW IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING THE CAR AROUND ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR MOVES SLOWER THAN IT USUALLY DOES. IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING IT AT ALL TILL WE GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH REAR HATCH NOT OPENING WHEN COLD OUTSIDE; I LIVE IN MICH. THUS HAVE COLD WINTERS; NO PROBLEM WHEN WARM. PROBLEM STARTED IN 2017. I PD TO HAVE IT REPLACED 12/28/17; FAIL AGAIN 12/10/18 DEALER REPLACED AS UNDER WARRANTY; FAILED AGAIN 12/10/19 OUT OF WARRANTY(FRM 12/28/17)- SO HONDA WON'T FIX. IN REVIEWING INTERNET THE LATCH PROBLEM IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WHEN COLD O/S. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA - THEN PANDEMIC HIT--JUST NOW REOPENING COMPLAINT- CASE#10291529- & AS THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A CONSTANT COMPLAINT FRM MANY OTHERS; HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-063 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY HAVE A REDESIGNED LATCH. BUT IT ONLY COVER VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THUS I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE NEW IMPROVED PART, WHEN THE ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT PART WERE1 BAD IN THE PAST.. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO THE REAR/TRUCK OF YOUR CAR IS A SAFELY HAZARD IN THE WINTER-REAR TRUCK IS WHERE YOU KEEP THE SPARE TIRE, EMERG. SUPPLIES,ETC. (& STORE ITEMS /GROCERIES,LUGGAGE,ETC )

HONDA PAINT IS STRIPPING RIGHT OFF THE BODY. HONDA PAINT IS FADING AND LOSING METALLIC FINISH. HONDA PAINT HAS OTHER RECALLS BUT NOT MY MAKE AND MODEL.

AS LIKE OTHER REPORTS MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A LARGE RATTLING SOUND FOR YEARS AND IT'S GETTING WORSE AND FROM WHAT I'VE LOOKED UP IT CAN BE VERY BAD AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO OUR CARS AND DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR A DEFECT. I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME VTC ACTUATOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH CAR BEGINS TO JERK AND VIBRATE. HAVE TO INCREASE SPEED TO MAKE IT STOP.1

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SHAKES UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS.

WHEN STARTING COLD, AS SITTING OVERNIGHT, TURN KEY ,GRINDING NOISE FROM ENGINE, ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS
