As I was driving, without warning I heard a loud "metalic" noise that sounded as though I had run over something. As I was seeking a place to turn off of the road, the sound stopped for a few seconds then returned. At that time, I lost my power steering and had difficulty pulling off to a side road that I found several hundred feet from where the incident occurred. When I got out of the car, I noted that there was a chunk of metal protruding from the bottom of the car near the passenger side front tire. When the car was finally towed to a Honda dealer, I was told that the air conditioner compressor had exploded! I understand wearable parts breaking but exploding! I was within a mile of approaching an on-ramp to a 3-lane highway and shudder to think of what would have happened had the explosion occurred on the interstate! beyond the inconvenience and cost (approaching $2,000), this type of catasrophic incident is extremely dangerous. The explosion caused me to lose full control of my vehicle and most definitely could have caused a very serious accident.
The engine suddenly accelerated in a parking garage. The brakes slowed the car on the first acceleration, but almost immediately the engine again revved-- to a shrill, loud sound like that of a jet engine. Result : car rammed into a support pillar in the garage; airbag deployed, and I was wearing my seat belt. Car may be totaled, still awaiting estimate from insurance. I spent 4 days in the hospital for surgery on my broken arm, multiple bruises and swollen face, and will not be able to drive for 3-4 months.
Every time the right front passenger door is unlocked either by the switch or manually, it immediately re-locks itself making it almost impossible to open the door. To open the door, you must know to be holding on the handle and pull it in the split second after you activate the un-lock button. This could be extremely dangerous in a situation where the passenger had to get out of the car immediately as in case of a fire, submersion in water or after a wreck. I am frightened to think what would happen in one of these cases and a child or unsuspecting adult were in the vehicle and could not get out. Of course, there are many other scenarios where the passenger would have to get out in a hurry and this defective locking mechanism would prevent their escape.
At approx 147,000 miles, check engine light came one. After determining it was not due to leaking gas cap, ran a diagnostic on it. It produced error codes of p0300, p0301, p0302, p0303, p0304 and p1399 (all misfire codes). Took it to a highly recommended mechanic where they also ran their own diagnostic with same error codes. The checked the valves right away because there is a known issue (defect) with the first gen crv head. Honda has admitted the problem and re-designed the head for my year model to eliminate the value problem. My heads had already been adjusted at 95k (as recommended by the Honda dealer service dept) although the recommended adjustment is at 105k miles. With mine requiring adjustment 10k miles sooner, this should be a red flag of a problem with my engine. But now there is no room for further adjustment; only solution is to replace the head with the re-designed head. In earlier years (2006) Honda was replacing at no cost through their goodwill program. They won't assist me in any way - in fact, american Honda customer service told me there was no such thing as a Honda goodwill program. I found out about the program because my dealership told me about it and that american Honda and denied my request! I had every single required maintenance service performed at our local Honda dealership; on time or early as recommended. The only time it was ever taken somewhere else was for a few oil changes and that was only because Honda couldn't work me in according to my work schedule. The reason I purchased a Honda in first place was because we were told that any Honda that was maintained per the recommended service manual should last 300-400k miles. I didn't even get half of that! never again - no more Honda's for me.
I was driving out of a parking lot of an outdoor shopping mall, suddenly the car did not move at all. I shifted to l1 to see how it would react. No movement. Shifted to l2, still the car did not budge at all. Finally, I shifted to r, then, it moved backward. I put the shift into d, and then o. K. I remember, in the past, the car hesitated to start out after a stop at intersections. I contacted the local dealer. They say they cannot do much because the problem has to be replicated to diagnose it. I told them, I or any one could replicate the problem. Anyway, I told them I am bringing in my car tomorrow. But I am afraid if the same problem happens on the busy sreet on my way to the dealer. I will appreciate to let me know if any one had experienced the problem. If no one has reported so far, I would like this problem registered on your data base. Thank you.
I purchased a new 2010 Honda Cr-v and it is used regularly. The tire pressure has been low on several occassions due to nail in the tire or just low pressure. However, never has the sensor activated for this or made me aware that there is a low tire pressure issue. The car is regularly brought to be serviced at the Honda center. I have two sets of tires on the vehicle that have worn in different condition.
The air conditioner stopped working. I took it to a repair shop and they found a hole in the bottom of the compressor. They will have to replace the compressor, flush the system, repalce the dryer and then charge the system. The vehicle only had 62500 miles on it and the compressor should last alot longer than that. It will cost $756. 24 to repair the system and that is if these are the only parts that need to be replaced. I am asking for the reimbursment to reapair the air conditioner.
I was driving about 30 mph and heard a loud bang coming from the front of the car. The air conditioning started to blow hot air . I pulled over and found upon opening the hood that oil from the a/c compressor had been forced out of the compressor on to the engine. I brought the Honda crv to my service station immediately. Upon their inspection, they found that the a/c compressor had exploded,sending refrigerant oil and pieces of the compressor housing down to the ground under the front tire. The repairs needed were a new a/c compressor,condensor,a/c hoses,expansion valve at a cost of twelve hundred dollars.
On wed. Sept. 7, 2011, I was driving to work when the gas pedal on my 2003 Honda crv got stuck. I tried to brake at the stoplight, but the car would not brake. I had to go into survival mode, tried shifting the gears, and somehow got the vehicle turned off. It scared me half to death. I was also stuck in the middle of traffic and could not pull over to the side of the road, so I had the fear that someone might hit my vehicle from behind. I immediately called aaa and had them send a police officer for safety reasons. My car was towed to my mechanic who discovered that the throttle body assembly was broken, and needed to be replaced. Besides being a safety issue, this repair cost me aprox. $1,196. 53. I have to say that even though it¿s been replaced, I am very leery of driving the vehicle. The mechanic and the Honda dealership, where I purchased my car originally, say that this type of malfunction should not occur. About two years or so ago, the differential went out on this car as well. It had to be repaired and Honda paid for half of that repair, after I contacted the customer service dept. This was also a part that shouldn¿t have had to be repaired. I contacted Honda corporation and I was told that, "Honda would not assist me with this problem. ".
Crv with 45,000 miles made loud grinding noise and a/c stopped working. Occupants could have suffocated due to lack of air conditioning in car as medical conditions prevented occupants from opening windows.
Ac compressor locked twice in 1 year.
During heavy rains, water will seep in under the carpets from somewhere forward and lower than the windshield. The water comes from under the dashboard, usually on the passenger side. It does not drip in, but rather soaks up from under the carpet. I personally have seen the water grow up to 2 inches in depth above the carpets. After some internet searching, similar problems were found in earlier models of Cr-v. The issues found stemmed from faulty/old factory seals on items like the firewall and a/c vents. Please contact with more questions if this information is unclear or could be improved.
I have had this vehicle sinse 2006. Never had any issues until this year when the abs and vsa light came on. At first there was no issue but it got to the point that even after replacing several sensors the lights would stay on and the vehicle's cruise control could not set. It also had a lag between braking to when the vehicle would stop. Finally the engine seased in the middle of the road when my daughter was driving it. We replaced the engine to the tune of 2000. 00 and now only a few weeks later the vsa light is back on.
The door locking system does not work. From the driver or passenger side door-lock open or lock any doors in the car. The remote door keys do not work at all. The door locking mechanism seems to be completely broken. This is the 2nd Honda Cr-v which I have seen this from. This becomes a safety hazard if the door mechanism is not working correctly.
While driving on the interstate highway, my a/c stopped blowing cold air. Took it to Honda dealership and firestone autocare. I was told the compressor has busted. The total repair was quoted at us$1300. This seems to be a common problem for Honda crvs and I am surprise that there has been no recalls yet. It is very disappointing and disgusting that in the time of the economy we are forced to bear the cost of a manufacturing defect. Honda seems to give you a run around excuse. I live in chicago where 9 months out of 12 months you do not need an a/c. This is my 4th summer and adding the math, the a/c lasted just a little over 9 months. Please give this.
The air conditioner (ac) stopped working. I then took the car to my mechanic who told me that the compressor locked up and destroyed many components in the system. He quoted me about $2,000 to fix the issue. I then took the car to Honda dealer and they told the repair cost would be $3500. I live in the dallas, texas area and we have been experiencing triple digit temperature. This is a car my wife uses. We have two little kids. Not having a working ac is a life threatening situation. I contacted Honda USA for help and they told me since the car was not under warranty there wasn't anything they can do for me. I explained to them that there was a serious design flaw with the system. They would not agree even though there are countless postings on the web about this particular issue. Honda should be forced to issue a recall for this defective system. In hot climates, not having an ac is a serious safety issue. Now, I am stuck! where am I going to get $3500 to fix this issue. This problem has made the car completely useless. I am between a rock and a hard place. Honda should not get away with this because this company is endangering the lives of so many people.
Driving at 5 mph after leaving home I heard a grinding noise. It sounded like it came from the cabin fan (the air conditioner was on). I turned off fan and noise stopped. At traffic light tried fan without the air conditioner and engine stalled. Engine did not restart until I turned off fan. Problem was identified as failure of air conditioner compressor and a frozen air conditioner clutch. Other than the noise there was no warning of failure. Car was serviced 2 months and 800 miles before incident. Idling at a stop light at the time of failure resulted in stalled engine. If car was moving there would have been a loss of control as power steering and brakes would have been affected. If failure happened at higher speed I think I would have experienced catastrophic failure of the engine or compressor clutch (and shrapnel in the engine compartment or on the road and likely loss of control). Here was no early indication or warning of component failure. Although damage was isolated to compressor, if I had reacted slower or had the speed been higher there would have been high likelihood of additional damage or injury.
A/c compressor imploded and damaged the entire system as a replacement cost of $3400. 00.
The ac compressor literally exploded, causing other damage.
The door lock actuators fail without warning. When trying to exit the vehicle the actuator is stuck in the locked position and could prevent emergency exit of the vehicle. It is very difficult for an adult to manually overide the lock and impossible for a child. One actuator failure causes multiple doors not to function correctly. The Honda dealer will not fix under warranty.
When cruising along at a constant speed and trying to accelerate to pass a car, the Cr-v does not downshift to an appropriate lower gear. The car actually slows down as the accelerator pedal is further depressed. The motor bogs down. If the accelerator pedal is pressed down abnormally far, the car may then drop into a lower gear. When driving up a hill and additional power is needed the same symptoms occur. The transmission does not always downshift and the engine bogs down with minimal power. These are both intermittent problems. There is a Honda TSB 10-077 which may address the issue. It can be potentially dangerous as the engine has very little power when this occurs.
On 5/24/2011, as I was driving on a city street, my 2004 Honda model Cr-v ex-l, with a loud noise came to an abrupt stop. I later learned that the lower control arm of the right passenger side had broken off and caused the front right axle to snap off and the tire became detached from the body of the car. The insurance company geico, had the adjuster looking at the car, on 5/25/2011 and he determined there had been no collision, no unrelated damage to cause this serious problem. The Cr-v was towed to the same dealership where I have had the car serviced , I have all my records. In 2010, I went to firestone to have an oil change, all other services were done at Honda. The Honda inspector looked at the car and determined there was no defect, the car was old and this was the result for such damage to the car. I reported my complaint to Honda, complaint # n012011-06-1400157. Now I have to pay a good deal of the repairs myself, since my extended warranty had expired. My insurance company will cover the axle and the labor costs. Every Honda representative, I spoke to, tells me that the car is old, and this sort of damage is to be expected. At the time that the Honda inspector, saw the car, he asked me if anyone else had worked on the car, I said no because, I had always used the Honda dealership service department to service my car; later on, I found that in July 2010, I did have an oil change at a firestone service center for an oil change. I am very concerned about driving this vehicle again, and the fact that all the Honda representatives tell me that my car is old, and it is to be expected. The car had at the time of the incident a total of 62,342. Miles on it. I should also report that this vehicle had to have 4 sets of tires changed from date of purchase to 2009. Again, the Honda service representative at the same location, told me that SUV's require frequent tire changes. The master cylinder of this car has also had to be replaced.
I called Honda about my air condtioning system and did as they said. I brought my car to an accredited Honda dealership and had it diagnosed (which I had to pay out of my own pocket). They quoted me $4,000. I contacted Honda USA and after three month I finally heard back from them, I informed them that I was not the first to have this problem, that I had gone online and found that I was not the only Honda owner who have had there air conditioning system break. The Honda representive told me that they can not go by what I read on the internet. Which is true to a point but I think they had have many complaints about this problem already because the representive use the same description I have read about the air conditioning unit, which was "air conditioning unit has cracked causing shards of metal to plug up the unit, causing a complete replacement of the entire air conditioning unit. Honda USA quoted me $3,991 to fix my a/c with a deadline of 60 days to accept or they would recend the "discount" offer. I know a/c problems is not a safety issue but I feel that Honda knew or knows about this problem and should recall or show there loyal owners that they care. Until such time I am now a former Honda customer.
I have a 2004 Honda Cr-v ex with almost 69k miles. I have always maintained my car to the gills and just yesterday my ac compressor blew up, leaving metal shards all through my ac lines. The pulley and clutch (ac clutch) were also destroyed, leaving me with a 2100 dollar estimate. I have done a lot of research online about this issue and it seems that it is happening a lot in the 2002-2004 models. I have also read that they knew the part was faulty and still continued to install it. This is not normal wear and tear and the part has since been redesigned. I have only gotten an estimate, I refuse to pay for this damage when it is clearly Honda's fault. There has been a class action lawsuit filed against this problem and if I can find a way to add my name, I will do it. Lack of ac can lead to heatstroke and other health problems. Also, the ac is needed in the winter for the defroster, and I can clearly see a foggy windshield leading to accidents. Honda needs to address this issue as soon as possible and own up to the fact that this part/problem needs to be recalled.
I was driving down a highway in annapolis, maryland at 55 mph and the entire sunroof of my 2002 Honda crv suddenly shattered into thousands of tiny glass fragments that showered down upon my daughter (in the front passenger seat) and I. Nothing had fallen onto it from above, and there were no prior cracks or defects in the glass. There was a loud noise as this occurred, suggesting the double pane glass simply "exploded".
At approx; 75000 miles the right front door lock started making a very loud chattering noise when you used your key remote to unlock or to lock. When the vehicle reached 10 mph during excellerating and decellerating this would also happen. Now the driver side rear passenger door lock is doing the same thing. I'm afraid to let a child ride in the back seat or the front passenger seat. I was checking online for anything about this problem and came across a interesting web site that your dept; needs to look at. There are many other Cr-v owners with this same complaint. Edmunds. Com>suvs>. Honda Cr-v>Honda power door locks. This forum has some pretty consistent complaints about the Honda Cr-v door locks and there relevent safety.
My 2002 Honda Cr-v gas cap kept coming loose. We went back to Honda a bought a new gas cap, but within weeks that too kept coming loose. I just brought my car in to Honda because of a failure with the drivers door actuator and switch and the check engine light is now on and I was told that the reason the cap kept coming loose and the light is on was because I needed the replace the filler neck. This repair was going to be over $300. 00. Since I had just spent a lot to fix the door and switch, I decided to wait until I could afford it. In the meantime, I am tightening the cap daily so that the smell of gasoline goes away.
The ac started to make banging noise, then ceased to work. This started at about 100,000 miles, just after the warrantee expired. In 90-100 degree weather this is extremely dangerous -- I find myself falling asleep behind the wheel in the heat, even when windows are open. I can't afford $2000+ for repairs. Apparently lots of Cr-v owners are experiencing this problem with ac compressor. Honda should be recalling this vehicle and pay for its repairs.
Ac compressor has failed. Vehicle model and manufacturer have a long history with this particular issue. There is no recall in process. Manufacturing defect causes expensive repairs for replacing entire ac system at cost of $4000, and each time ac fails, it requires a recharge with r type freon - which means the r freon has escaped into the atmosphere. There is lawyer investigating class action - matthew r. Mendelsohn, esq. . Mazie slater katz & freeman, llc. There are many Honda crv forums discussing this particular issue. Honda negates to accept responsibility and repair costs.
Driving first in the morning on highway (downhill), dthe driveline vibrates at 60 mph and above. It felt like engine is not running fast enough to catch up the transmission speed. And fithe gear is engaged at 40-50 mph, and does not downshifted to 4th or lower gear. It underpowers the car.
Car had unintended sudden acceleration after turning right into a parking space and jumped the curb and crashed into an apartment house patio.
Vehicle began resetting door locks whenever vehicle accelerated through 7 or 8 mph from stop. After awhile, driver side front and back doors would not lock automatically and intermittently the driver door could not be manually locked (heavy resistance when trying to flip latch). On a less frequent basis, the passenger side rear door would not auto or manually lock. For last several months the door lock solenoids fire like a machine gun whenever the doors are manually or automatically locked. Some times they all lock, other times one or more of the doors won't. Tolerated for many months as dealer wouldn't fix under warranty even though only 1000 miles and a few days past 12mo/36k coverage and didn't want to pay dealer estimated fix at up to 800 dollars. Now starting to pick up grandchildren for after school care and need to fix. Seems this problem has enough complaints to warrant recall?.
I own a 2004 Honda Cr-v. While driving approximately 70 mph, the air conditioner compressor exploded. The vehicle was taken to Honda service center and I was informed about the compressor failure. The vehicle was repaired the failure mileage was approximately 65,000. The repair coasted about $ 1800.
My 2001 Honda Cr-v air conditioning compressor imploded and sent shards of metal into the air conditioning system. This was without warning, as I just had my air conditioning serviced by the Honda dealership a month ago. I have discovered that this is a widespread problem with Honda Cr-vs and that Honda America has not addressed this major defect. I am especially concerned because I live in arizona, and the temperature is 108 degrees, with 113 predicted for the weekend. This makes the defect very dangerous. I am part of a non-profit rescue group and regularly transport pets; this could have been deadly if it happened with baby kittens or puppies in the car. The Honda service shot said they talked with the Honda America representative and that he would not cover any of the repairs, despite it being a widespread defect and despite the fact that there is a lawsuit pending for this defect. The repair was extremely expensive, and again, I just had the air conditioning system serviced at the same Honda service shop that I have been using for the past 5 years. I have maintained this vehicle well and have all service records. The Cr-v is a dangerous vehicle because of this defect, particularly for people living in states with extreme heat.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda Cr-v. Page 307 of the contact's vehicle owners manual, entitled "tire chain", states that in inclement weather conditions, the tire chains can be placed on the front driver's side tires to assist with driving. After the contact placed the chains on the vehicle, the electronic monitoring system activates braking and traction. The failure sporadically causes a loss of control that frequently results in 180 degree turns. The failure occurred during relatively low speeds and was noticed while driving 10 mph. The dealer stated that if something was wrong, a warning indicator should illuminate on the instrument control panel. The contact stated that there were no warning indicators illuminated prior to or during the failures. The manufacturer did not assist. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 26,000.
Our insured took their 2006 Honda crv for maintenance. One week later after oil change & differential service - auto caught on fire while in travel. Insured auto fire originated at right front under hood.
Air conditioner compressor on 2001 Honda crv exploded cracking case.
Air conditioner failed on my 2002 Honda crv. Upon turning the a/c dial on, a very loud grinding/knocking sound was heard by the engine comparment and killed the engine off.
My air conditioning was not working well. I took my car to the Honda dealership and they said I needed to have the ac clutch pulley replaced. Calling around, other car repair shops said that if I didn't get it replaced immediately there could be a catastrophic failure. Honda then investigated further & found out that I needed to have the entire ac system replaced because the ac compressor went bad. Looking online, this is a common issue for Honda Cr-vs. There are multiple websites/blogs discussing the issue and also a class action lawsuit. Honda should recall the ac compressor to fix the issue.
The contact owns a 2007 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that there were sightings of mouse droppings in her vehicle, which was kept in a farm shed. The following day, she caught a mouse with a mouse trap. There had been no failure or physical damage to date. The current and failure mileages were 10,000.
2005 Honda Cr-v. Rear differential. Manual states replace rd fluid every 90k, but dealer continues to claim must be done every 10k. Who to believe? not sure of the consequences. My complaint to the dealer was front end noise on hard turns and that was their diagnosis. How could the fluid break down that soon? none of my previous vehicles ever had the problem.
Condenser from air conditioner failed due to stone hitting it.
I have less than 30,000 miles and my a/c is not working. . . . And ofcourse the deals tells me it will cost me $700 to replace. I told him that the reason I bought a Honda is its reputation. . . If an american car does not have these problems why should I pay more for a Honda and pay more for maintainence. I told them it is a design flaw. . . It is 4x4 so they expect you not to ride on tough roads??? it seems that this problem is very common on new Honda cars, SUV's and vans. If Honda expects a f$x$ to ride on tough roads does it mean that your a/c should not work because a small peble gets in? Honda should be asked to fix the problem for free. . . It is a design flaw. Well. . . If it gets really hot do they expect you not to use the a/c? are we supposed to fry in heat? pay or you fry. . . Nice money making machine that Honda has found. I hope they are not allowed to do business in the united states if they do not have good business practice. We should all join in and fight for Honda to correct their bad design. They should be responsible.
Honda cvr 2007. This car has no ash tray or lighter. Where do they think we are going to put out lighted cigarettes????????? they are charging over $80. 00 to install a lighter. This is another direct attempt to control smoking. Public beware. . . Those burning butts are going to get tossed out the window. . . Fire!.
Air conditioner went out at 36,000 miles no warning. Cost $1500. My extended warranty covered part but not all. Shredded metal all through out the air conditioner. Had to wait 7 hours for a repair as dealer 50 miles away Honda crv 2003.
The position of the turn signal at the top of the Honda Cr-v and the clear lens has resulted in me being hit 3 times in the rear in the 1 1/2 years I have owned this vehicle. The last incident, the person who hit me insisted that I did not have my turn signal on even when he stood behind the vehicle and looked at it -- it was only when pedestrians told him that the signal was on did he finally realize that he just had a hard time seeing it. The first incident the woman said she didn't see the turn signal. In all 3 cases, the accidents occurred on a sunny day. I am constantly being sworn at and yelled at to turn on my turn signal and I get out and look and it is indeed on. The position of the signal at the very top of the vehicle is higher than any other vehicle on the road -- not in a position that people routinely look for a turn signal. In addition, the clear lens make it very difficult to see the turn signal on sunny days-- I have purposely driven behind 2005 Cr-vs (the only year that Honda had clear lens on the turn signals) and can understand why people have a problem seeing the signal. I called Honda and expressed my concern about my safety in this car because the position of the turn signal so high on the car and the clear lens -- I was told that it was the design of the Cr-v and they got approval for the design so they were not going to do anything to improve the safety. I asked them why the clear lens were used for only 2005 thinking that other had problems with the clear lens so they switched back to the yellow lens in 2006 but they denied this. They even refused to switch out the clear lens for the yellow lens that they have used for every other year of this vehicle. I wish someone would look into this by driving behind 2005 Cr-vs on sunny days and checking out the turn signals.
There was a loud rattling noise coming from my air conditioner. My husband took a look at it. When he turned the air conditioner on and went around to the front of the car. The ball bearings in my compressor failed and the compressor exploded. Shards of metal flew from under the car. From the research I have done there have been a lot of Honda crvs doing the same. If anyone was standing near the car at the time of explosion, they could have been hurt.
We recently purchased a brand new Honda crv ex last April 22, 2006. I noticed last may 8, while driving the car, there was a continous warning sign that the hatch glass was opened. I stopped and checked but it was closed. I made sure that it was closed but the warning sign never stop. Then, last may 13, my husband noticed the same time and when we were at the parking lot and tried to lock it using the remote control, it didn't lock anymore. We double checked all the doors and closed them one by one, but the problem remained the same. On that same day, we decided to bring the car to colonial Honda (where we purchased) and they could not fix the problem and we were told we needed to bring it during weekdays. May 15, I drove the car to colonial Honda and had their service dept to check. What they were telling me that my expectation to the brand new car is so high and its only natural to encounter problem with brand new car. Thats the point I purchased a brand new car to release me from any problem and this car is only 3 weeks old. They even gave us a service small manual car, that makes me feel more disappointed to the whole thing. They were telling me that the problem with my car is a very small problem but the bottom line, its still a problem and they dont have any control of any slight problem because it was only made by man. Thats what they were telling me. A brand new car should be tested by quality control before release to the market? I received a very poor service from this company and the fact that they gave us a car without inspecting if everything was free from any problem.
Without any prior problem or indication of a problem, something dropped off the bottom of my car into the road. At that exact moment, the air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. I took the car to have it repaired only to find out that the a/c compressor had blown (and the clutch had fallen off). I have since found out that this is a very frequent occurrence with second generation Honda Cr-v's. I am in the process of working with american Honda motors as well as my dealership to have it repaired. Honda knows of this problem, and the part was redesigned for the 2004 model. This part needs a recall! how many people have to complain before there is a formal recall?.
Air bag sensor under right front seat not working properly. This was found when the dealership insisted I call in my insurance company to look at dampness in the car. I haven't had any resolution to the dampness/mold/mildew issue and no one has addressed the air bag sensor, other than a verbal notification from my insurance company. I've followed what the dealership has suggested in regards to the dampness/mold/mildew - removed the mats (right front was wet underneath with mold), keep the a/c on exterior circulation when the car is closed up & had the car detailed. . . None of which has solved the problem. They want me to guarantee payment of over $4000 to have the carpet removed, car 'dried' out & carpet replaced.
Normal intown driving, air conditioner compressor "blew up"-metal from front side of compressor blown out.
Water leaking from somewhere under the dashboard/glove compartment during rain or car wash.
First oil change at dealership on my 2005 Honda crv at 3500 miles. Flames bursting out the following day, with oil spraying all over. No injuries. Towed to dealer to fix. Oxygen sensors needed replacing. Apparently, this defect has been known about for a couple years, but dealer still flubbed the oil change.
Concerns involving Honda crv's that bursting into flames after oil changes. The consumer heard on the news that the 2003-2004 Honda crv's were bursting into flames and was concerned that this may happen to her vehicle.
One month ago I purchased a 2004 Honda Cr-v. This afternoon on my way home from work, I went to hit the brake pedal when I discovered something had fallen over the brake pedal. Honda has put a piece of plastic under the dash for some reason and devised some rinky dink way to hold it in place. The latch was still in the locked position but it had vibrated to the side and came loose, falling on the brake pedal and almost causing an accident. Fortunately I was not following to close so I had time to stop before rear ending the car in front of me, but just barely. I was not able to pull over to remove the piece of plastic for several more miles and once again, came close to rear ending someone because this piece of plastic had fallen over the brake pedal. I think you need to take a look at this and have Honda fix this before someone has a really bad accident.

I was wondering if it was mandatory for cars to indicate whether or not all doors are closed on their dashboards. On the Honda 2001 crv it is impossible to tell is a door is securely shut because there is no indicator. This I believe is a safety hazard and I would like it to be investigated or even recalled.
Sun visor detaches on drivers side for no apparent reason. All 3 times visor was replaced by various Honda dealers (we moved since 1s t occurence) at no charge. It did not cause an accident, but could have if visor detached while drivng at a higher speed or in traffic, as the visor pops off and hits the driver.
