In may, 2014, the right rear power window quit working and would not go back up after having it completely down. I toggled the window switch a few times and the window eventually went back up, so I thought it was just a glitch. We live in arizona where the summertime is very hot, so the window was never used again due to air conditioning. The window was used recently because the weather has cooled down from the summer heat. This time, toggling the switch did not work and the window stayed in the down position completely. I took the Honda Cr-v to a local Honda dealership which diagnosed the issue as a faulty master power window switch. I've researched and discovered there have been numerous issues with faulty master power window switches on several different Honda models. There are several recalls affecting just under one million automobiles manufactured and there is a potential fire hazard according to Honda. The company's recall statement says, "water, rain, or other liquid may enter the driver's window and reach the master power window switch, resulting in impaired function of the switch. . . Switch is damaged as a result of the liquid intrusion, it may result in failure of the switch and overheating. . . An overheating switch may cause smoke, melting or, potentially, fire. " the national highway traffic safety administration opened an investigation into a fire hazard with the master power switch on the Honda Cr-vs. Also, chris naughton, a Honda spokesman, said one person died in south africa in a fire attributed to the problem. It is apparent Honda still has not properly corrected the master power window switch issue. Please continue your investigation of this issue. Honda's engineers need to re-design the switch; it¿s housing, and replace all potential faulty master switches to ensure consumers¿ safety from fire/death and financial responsibility.

On Sunday March 30 I was coming out of the grocery store and I went to my car to put my things away but when I tried to open my car with my key fob it would open so I kept trying for a few minutes until I decided to use the actual key itself to unlock and even then it only open one door. Also when I tried to open the locks manually with the buttons in the inside that didn't work either. Later that day I tried opening all the doors with my key but by the time I get to the next one it locks by itself.

The low tire pressure sensor comes every month or two sine November 2011. I purchased the vehicle new in January 2011. I have taken it to the Honda dealer at least 5 times and get different reasons such as tire pressure is low, tire was repaired due to a nail , we couldn't find nothing wrong and we just reset it, and since you were driving in cold temperatures the light has a tendency to one. However, I took the car in just to weeks ago and was told that the tire pressures were low and somebody at work must have been deflating my tires which I find burden. Three days after this reset the light came on again. It just seem that they aren't willing to check the problem out thoroughly because I have 32kplus miles. I m willing to file a class action if possible.

Static electrical shocking when existing the vehicle after the second day of owning the vehicle. Static electricity shock is more painful then ordinary static shock. Visited the dealer, stated that happens with the cloth seats and no real remedy for the static electricity problems. Suggested I buy anti static spray for the seats. Anti static spray helps the shock to a lesser degree, but does not last long. Painful shocks come back quickly after antistatic spray no longer working. During the rain season, the shocks were less, but the dry season is back and the shocks are becoming unbearable. Concern with intense shocks if they may place a person with a pacemaker defibrillator implant in danger.
