MY DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK WHILE DRIVING. WHILE MY PASSENGER BACK DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. I HAD BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL COST MONEY TO FIX. SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE REAR DIFF. FLUID EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS UNDER THE 30K WARRANTY THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME 350$ TO FIX IT. ALSO THE LEATHER ON BOTH FRONT DOORS STARTED PEELING UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR IT.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR: I CAN UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB AND THEY WILL RE-LOCK THEMSELVES WITHIN 2 SECONDS. FEW DAYS AGO I WENT INTO PHARMACY AND LEFT MY 8 YEAR OLD NIECE IN THE CAR TO PICK UP FEW THINGS. CAME BACK OUT IN ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES AND SHE WAS CRYING HER EYES OUT YELLING AND SCREAMING. I ASKED HER WHAT HAPPENED AS I ENTERED THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. SHE COULDN'T SPEAK FOR FEW MINUTES BECAUSE OF TEARS. SHE TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR AND SHE GOT SCARED. ENTIRE FAMILY IS HONDA AND ACURA LOYAL CUSTOMERS. MY FAMILY HAD ENOUGH HONDA PROBLEMS WITH THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD BRAKES MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES AFTER REPLACING BRAKE PADS 2 TIMES. 2003 ACURA TL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. REPLACING 2007 CRV DIFFERENTIAL FLUIDS NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOW A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS. I HAD ENOUGH. GOOD BYE HONDA!

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.

MY HONDA CRV 2007 VEHICLE DID A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF HALF THE VEHICLE LENGTH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, THEY WOULD BE DEAD. IN LIGHT OF ALL THE TOYOTA PRESS, I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. I DID HAVE A FLOOR MAT IN PLACE, WAS IT CAUGHT IN THE GAS PEDAL? HAVE THEIR BEEN ANY REPORT OF TROUBLE WITH THE HONDA CRV? THIS OCCURRED ONCE ONLY AND I DID REMOVE FLOOR MATS. THIS OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2009. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AS IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND STILL CONCERNS ME..

IN 2007, WE PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV TO TOW, FOUR WHEELS DOWN. WE PURCHASED THE BLUE OX AVENTA LX, BX7445 TOW BAR CLASS IV (10,000 LB FOR A 2 INCH RECEIVER) AND THE BASE PLATE BX2246 MADE FOR THE 2007 HONDA CR-V\, WE FOUND THAT THE FRONT FASCIA OF THE HONDA HAD PULLED AWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THE BLUE OX BASE PLATE HAD FAILED. I MEAN, TOTALLY FAILED, THE METAL (NOT THE BOLTS) HAD RIPPED, THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES, WHERE THE BASE PLATE IS ATTACHED (BOLTED) TO THE FRAME. THE BASE PLATE, WAS NOW ONLY BEING HELD (AND ALSO OUR VEHICLE) ONLY BY THE SAFETY CABLES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR COLLISION AND THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE TOTAL DAMAGE TO MY 2007 HONDA CR-V WAS WELL OVER $8,000. I WAS REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE CAR I WAS PUSHED INTO AND ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE CAR THAT REAR-ENDED ME. THE REAR END DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS OVER $3,000 AND THE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS OVER $5,000. THIS WAS A VERY LOW SPEED COLLISION ON A LOCAL STREET AND EVEN THE COLLISION SHOP MANAGER WAS STUNNED AT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT END. THE COMPRESSOR OF THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR BY THIS MINOR COLLISION AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY AUTO INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR THIS. THE COLLISION SHOP MANAGER SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT - HE ASKED ME IF THIS WAS A HIGH SPEED COLLISION (IT WAS NOT), THEN ASKED ME IF THE CAR I WAS PUSHED INTO HAD A TRAILER HITCH STICKING OUT (IT HAD NOTHING STICKING OUT). I NOW AM READING NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS BY PEOPLE ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR IN THIS CAR IN WHICH THE DEALER STATED THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS DAMAGED BY A "PEBBLE" FROM THE ROAD. BASED ON THESE COMPLAINTS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE, I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE 2007 HONDA CR-V'S AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR, CAUSING THE CONSUMERS TO HAVE TO ENDURE HUGE COSTS TO REPLACE THIS COMPRESSOR BECAUSE OF SUCH MINOR THINGS AS PEBBLES STRIKING THE PART AND LOW SPEED MINOR FENDER BENDERS!!!

TOOK CAR TO DEALER WITH WARM AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING. DEALER STATED THAT CONDENSER HAD A HOLE FROM ROAD DEBRIS; REPAIR COSTS WAS $765. SUBSEQUENT SEARCH OF HONDA FORUMS REVEALED ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FREQUENT AIR CONDITIONER FAILURES, AND EXACT SAME LINE FROM DEALER ABOUT ROAD DEBRIS. AIR CONDITIONING FAILURE IN THE DEEP SOUTH WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM IN A 9 MONTH OLD CAR WITH 20,000 MILES. REPEATED FAILURES IN DIFFERENT MODELS WAS INDICATIVE OF POOR QUALITY, AND LEAKING COOLANT WAS A DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE.

I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV WITH 2 MILES ON IT THREE WEEKS AGO, THE OTHER DAY MY A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOOK IT IN. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE A/C CONDENSER AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ,AND THE COST WOULD BE $800 . ACCORDING TO THEM A ROCK OR SOME ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGED I. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS, IT WAS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR AND COULD AFFORD CAR PAYMENTS AND CAR REPAIRS. AFTER MAKING A FEW CALLS TO THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER THEY AGREED TO FIX IT, ONLY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP DEPOSITED MY CHECK EARLY AND IT BOUNCED. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS SO I CALLED 1-800-999-1009 AND SPOKE TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND ITWAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. HER AND THE SERVICE ECHNICIAN AT TAMPA HONDALAND BOTH TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO BUY OR HAVE MADE SOME KIND OF COVER M TO PROTECT THE A/C CONDENSER SO THAT IT HOPEFULLY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN....WHAT? THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DONE BY HONDA OR THEY SHOULD WARRANTY THIS IF IT HAPPENED TO CONSUMERS. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ME.
