2001 HONDA CR-V Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY HONDA CRV EX AT APROX 50 MPH I REAR-ENDED A SMALL LIGHT WEIGHT TRUCK TRAVELING APROX 35 MPH. IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO AVOID THE COLLISION I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND TURNED THE WHEEL OF MY CRV HARD TO THE RIGHT. THE RUBBER BUMPER OF THE TRUCK AND MY FRONT LEFT LIGHTS AND HOOD TOOK THE IMPACT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE AIRBAG IN MY CRV DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SEVERELY INJURED MY RIGHT SHOULDER, NECK AND BACK. I ALSO INJURED MY RIGHT FOOT. KNEE AND HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER IS SAYING THAT MY CRV NEEDED TO BE HIT DIRECTLY ON THE RUBBER BUMPER IN ORDER TO DEPLOY; SO THE EXISTING AIRBAG IS FINE AND WILL NOT BE REPLACED. THE BODY SHOP CONCURS THOUGH THE FIREMEN AT THE SEEN DISCONNECTED THE AIRBAG WHILE THE EMTS WERE REMOVING ME FROM THE VEHICLE STATING THAT SINCE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT, IT COULD, IN FACT DEPLOY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE WITHOUT PROVOCATION. AFTER DISCUSSING THE SITUATION WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO'VE OWNED AND OPERATED BODY SHOPS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, THEY AND I FEEL THAT THE EXISTING AIRBAG IS SOMEHOW DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT UNTIL NOW. *TR

1. INITIALLY, THE REMOTE DOOR LOCK FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING A BUZZING NOISE, BUT IT STILL WORKED. 2. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE LEVER (PLASTIC WITH A HARD PLASTIC COATING) TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR BROKE OFF..AND CAUSED SEVERAL CUTS TO MY HAND...BUT...IT WAS STILL POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE STUB OF THE LEVER. 3. THE REMOTE DOOR ENTRY LOCK (TO THE DRIVER DOOR) STOPPED WORKING, BUT IT WAS STILL POSSIBLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY. 4. TODAY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITH THE KEY OR WITH THE REMAINS OF THE INTERIOR DOOR LEVER OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS THAT I CAN FIGURE OUT. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF SEVERAL COMPONENTS THAT SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THEY HAVE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TO MY 2001 HONDA CR-V. IDENTIFIED AS A MISFIRE IN CYL #1, AND LOW COMPRESSION IN THAT CYLINDER. THE HEAD WAS REMOVED, AND ONE OF THE EXHAUST VALVES IN THE #1 CYLINDER WAS BURNED. THE VALVE CLEARANCE ON THAT CYLINDER WAS ZERO. A "VALVE JOB" WAS DONE AND THE ENGINE WAS REASSEMBLED. COST WAS $1450. *TR

2001 HONDA CRV STARTED TO HAVE A ROUGH IDLE FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A TUNE UP AT A LOCAL DEALER AND PROBLEM TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. RECENTLY THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE HONDA DEALER EVALUATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVES. I HAD THE DEALER CONDUCT A VALVE ADJUSTMENT AND THEY REPORTED THAT COMPRESSION ON THE #3 CYLINDER ONLY REPORTED 45 PSI AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE CYLINDER HEAD AT A COST OF $4500 DOLLARS. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA CRV AND HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM NOR OFFERED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2001 HONDA CRV. REQUEST THE NHTSB CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AND FAILED TO HOLD THE SET SPEED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AUTOMATICALLY ABOVE 45 MPH.

A/C COMPRESSOR FOR A 2001 HONDA CR-V. FIRST WENT OUT IN JULY 2007; END RESULT WAS THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTS AND HONDA AMERICA FOOTED THE BILL FOR LABOR BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL CR-VS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2008 AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. A FAULTY COMPRESSOR IS ABSURD AFTER 1 YEAR OF SERVICE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CR-V. AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE AIR CONDITIONER. HE THEN HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND NOTICED FUMES RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAD RUPTURED TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HALF REMAINED. HE COLLECTED A FEW PIECES FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1,631. THE MANUFACTURER ASSIGNED HIM A CASE NUMBER SO THAT ONE OF THEIR ENGINEERS COULD IDENTIFY THE DEFECT. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS, NO ONE CALLED THE CONTACT BACK. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ASSIGNED HIS CASE TO ANOTHER ENGINEER, IN WHICH NOW THEY DO NOT FEEL IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY BELIEVE THAT THE CONTACT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR RUPTURING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR TEN DAYS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 102,000.
