1 Horn Assembly problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/27/2022

After attempting to start the vehicle after being parked for a short time the vehicle failed to start. The electronics, flashed, the horn seemed to work, and the brake pushed back when depressed to start. Pushback on the brake pedal was unexpected and extremly powerful. It was later determined that the vehicle battery had failed with no warning. This is the second time in just over four years that the mamufacturers battery has failed without any warning. *** had the battery failed (either time) while the vehicle was in montion the result could have been catestrophic with the possible loss of life or serious injury*** research online indicates that this is a systemic problem in this model year, however, the manufacturer has not contacted me to remedy the situation. There are apparently no recalls on this specific problem.

2 Horn Assembly problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 05/31/2019

American Honda motor CO. , inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2019 model year Cr-v vehicles. The metal core of the steering wheel may contain burrs, which can damage the cable reel sub-harness and cause a short-circuit. This can result in inoperative steering wheel-mounted control buttons (including the horn), illumination of the supplemental restraint system (srs) warning indicator, and/or an uncommanded deployment of the drivers airbag. Honda was unwilling to tell me about the safety concerns related to this recall or provide a loaner vehicle. They are not able to fix this issue until the end of August/early September.

3 Horn Assembly problem of the 2016 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 04/06/2016

The car operates on a keyless ignition, and uses push button start. The issue is, once the car is running, it will stay running without the computer fab key in the car. This is a safety hazard, I can leave the door open and walk out of the car with the key in hand and it stays running, a child or someone can get in the car and shift the gear lever causing serious injury. Also there was no warning when I left the car with the computer key in my pocket and no flashing of lights or blinking or horn noise. This is a violation of the NHTSA laws that no vehicle should be running once the key has left the car. Well this vehicle continues to run without the key in the car, this is very dangerous. The vehicle should shut off after the key has left the car. This push button start is cheap and can cause serious injury. The car should shutoff without the key in the car. I left the car with the door open and key in my pocket, the car failed to shut off because the push button has to be pressed to shut off. The car is suppose to shut off without the key in the car per NHTSA rules and regulations.

4 Horn Assembly problem of the 2015 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/16/2016

My wife and I purchased the 2015 Cr-v ex-l awd on January 5 2016 at staten island Honda. After only 11 days and 300 miles on vehicle as we were driving for a ski vacation I noticed a crackling noise when I would turn the steering wheel in either direction. I then noticed that none of the steering wheel controls worked or the radio. In addition to this my horn didnt work and my bluetooth would constantly say (htc is ok ) both my radio interface screens would always flash different maintenance malfunctions. My cellphone would also randomly connect and make calls. Then as I was driving to get gas off the NJ turnpike my horn started to go off non stop and I had to pull the horn fuse out from under the hood. I also noticed a very strong vibration when vehicle is idle and stopped at traffic lights on both driver and passenger side and now seems to be getting worse . Our vehicle was serviced from January 19-21 and the mechanic stated that they replaced the fuses and the cable reel and said the vibration was normal. I did some further research and there is a lawsuit against Honda in regards to the 2015 Cr-v vibration issue. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and feel that I was sold a $30k lemon . I have owned Hondas in the past with no issues but after this experience and Honda being aware of this issue and still sold these trucks the company has lost my trust. When going through my documents I noticed that I was missing alot of paperwork from my sales contract and I brought it to the attention of the sales representative. At first he said he gave us everything and then realized he didnt but didnt have access to the file room to give us the necessary documents. He stated he would get back to us and never did. So in all I would not recommend going to staten island Honda due to their incompetent sales staff and I hope Honda resolves all of these issues.

5 Horn Assembly problem of the 2008 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/01/2013

I parked the car in my garge, 6 days later, I could not open the doors using remote control key, then I opened the drive side door mechanically, and pressed the door-control button, no response, and pressed the horn, no response. Put the key to try to start the car, no response (even no noise). I checked and found ig main fuse was blowed out (not 100% sure, it is difficult to take out the fuse due to over tighted screw) using a charger to charge battery, and found powder window has response, but doors did not response, put the key to start, some lights came on in the panel, but not sound at all. How the ig fuse was blowed out during the parking, it must be happen when I pulled out my key 6 days ago when I parked my car. Check with all friends and google search, no clue what happen! I will ask the car to be towed a shop to check by a technician. I never do anything to change car wring, never install anything into the car.

6 Horn Assembly problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/02/2013

Several months ago, I noticed that the lock on the right front passenger's side door of my 2007 Honda Cr-v would engage and disengage while I was driving. The lock shifted every time I came to a stop sign or traffic light, then would continue to unlock and re-lock every time I went above/below 15 mph. When I put the car in park, however, the lock would re-engage and the car would remain locked. Now the lock on this door does not lock at all, regardless of whether the car is in motion. The lock also does not lock when the car is in park. The remote lock does not work, even though the horn beeps and the locks attempt to engage as if the vehicle doors were all locked and remain locked. This morning (July 1, 2013) the back rear passenger's side door began to have the same problem. I had previously mentioned this issue during a service appointment, at which time a Honda-certified technician at lehigh valley Honda told me that he had "never heard of this problem" and it would "probably just click back into place. " I later made mention of the same problem during my inspection two weeks ago, but they did not have time to investigate the issue that day. I just spoke with the same location and have an appointment for July 5 to see if they can "diagnose" the problem. The manager told me he didn't want to "diagnose this over the phone" but insist they give the vehicle a complete workup -- which I am fine with, so long as I am not being charged for labor. This seems like a very real safety issue, as door locks that become disengaged while the car is moving would put anyone in fear of having small children or pets in the back seat. I hope Honda sees it necessary to issue a recall and fix the actuator, which is what seems to be the chief complaint among over Cr-v owners.

7 Horn Assembly problem of the 2004 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/01/2013

The horn no longer works. The fuse for the horn has been checked, and is not the problem. This seems to be a safety issue that should be cover for the lifetime of the vehicle, similar to Honda's seatbelt coverage.

8 Horn Assembly problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/08/2013

When I use keyless entry or key entry, I have about 3 seconds before all locks in the vehicle lock back up. When I get out of the car, this also happens. This happens everytime I get in my car or get out of my car. I tried re-programming the keyless entry and this did not work. I have had my keys locked in my car and had to call a towing company to come unlock the car for me. Finally after months and months of this happening, I got into my car on 08/14/2013 using the keyless entry and once my locks locked up and I tried to start my car, the entire car shut down (lights, locks, horn, ignition, car engine. ) I had to use the manual restart located on my dash board to get the car to start back up. This all seems like a safety hazard.

9 Horn Assembly problem of the 2012 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/21/2012

This incident concerns the horn. It is a joke and a dangerous on at that. As I was driving on I-20 outside of atlanta I was driving alone side a pick-up truck to my right. My front bumper was about even with the truck's windows post. The truck started moving over into my lane and since there was another car beside me (on my left) I could not move over so I started blowing the horn. I could barely hear it so I know driver of the truck could not hear it so he continued to move over into my lane. My only choice was to apply the brakes and let the car to my left pass me and move over behind it. I was missed by inches by the car that was following that car. That driver had to apply the brakes very hard so as not to hit me. The horn needs to be much louder then it is.
