2015 Honda Cr-V body problems

STRUCTURE:BODY

CHRONOLOGY OF CASCADING VEHICLE SAFETY FAILURES VIN [XXX] Vehicle 2015 Honda CR-V. 1 STRUCTURAL BODY FRAME DEFECT. Vehicle has a chronic upper body structural alignment defect allowing massive water intrusion to bypass factory headliner and moonroof seals. Multiple consecutive factory OEM headliners have been destroyed by water logging, proving the upper tracking architecture is permanently warped and cannot maintain an environmental seal. 2 ELECTRICAL FAILURE ENGINE STALL HAZARD. Saturated water tracking through the upper frame has migrated into primary engine bay electrical lines. This chronic moisture caused a severe short circuit that fried the vehicle alternator, voltage regulator, and primary battery requiring emergency replacement. This infrastructure breakdown creates an imminent safety risk of sudden loss of vehicle charging power and dangerous engine stalling while operating at highway speeds. 3 ADAS INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES. Moisture migration has breached the primary dashboard wire harnesses causing active continuous power dropouts and glitching across the center infotainment screen and main driver instrument display interface, blinding the operator to speedometers and critical crash avoidance alerts. 4 AIRBAG HAZARDS ACTIVE BIOHAZARD. Saturated water tracking down internal pillars runs directly over Side Curtain Airbag modules and electronic connectors, risking sensor corrosion. Cabin flooding has saturated seating foam, endangering electronic Occupant Classification Sensors OCS that regulate passenger airbag deployment forces. Unremediated moisture left toxic mold spores festering beneath the seating infrastructure, causing severe respiratory irritation to occupants. REPAIR STATUS. Unresolved safety defect. Repair networks failed to remediate structural hazards. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

MY BATTERY KEEPS RUNNING DOWN, EVEN AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED BY AAA. TOOK IT TO KINGSPORT HONDA AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE THAT WAS DRAWING DOWN THE BATTERY. THEY ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT TO MAKE SURE THEY PUT A METER ON IT. THE HANDEL HAS GOTTEN SO HOT IT HAS VISIBALY DAMAGED THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL. THEY ONLY WANT 795.00 TO REPLACE THE HANDLE. SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE

VIBRATION/SHUDDER/LOW RPM'S. NOTICED 2 DAYS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALER. DEALER WAS IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED. WAS TOLD TO CONTNUE DRIVING THE CAR, THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING. TOOK THE CAR BACK WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NO SOLUATION AT THIS TIME.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICHLE MONTH AGO. AROUND 1000 MILES ON ODOMETER NOW. VEHICHLE HAVE TERRIBLE VIBRATION WHEN STOP IN DRIVE GEAR AT STOP LIGHTS OR IN SLOW TRAFFIC. VIBRATION ARE STRONG AND MADE ME NAUXIOUS IN SLOW TRAFFIC ONE DAY. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER BUT THEY NOT ACCEPTING IT AS A PROBLEM BUT SAYING ITS A CHARACTRISTIC OF THIS VEHICHLE. THEY UPDATED THE ECM SOFTWARE BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE. I AM AFRAID THIS CAN GET WORSE AND RESULT INTO MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURE OR SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA SHOULD FIND THE FIX OR STOP SELLING

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V EX FWD A MONTH AGO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LITTLE OVER 600 MILES, I STARTED FEELING A SEVERE VIBRATION INTERMITTENTLY AT IDLE IN DRIVE MODE WHEN I STOP AT STOP SIGNS. THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY INCREASED NOW WHEN IT IS ABOUT 1000 MILES. JUST TO CHECK ITS SEVERITY I PLACED AN EMPTY PLASTIC BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I COULD HERE THE NOISE MADE BY THE BAG DUE TO VIBRATION. IT WAS AS IF LIKE MASSAGING ON MY BACK AND BACK OF HEAD. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY CHECKED AND TOLD ME THAT ITS A KNOW ISSUE WITH ALL 2015 MODELS AND NO FIX HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA ALSO AS PER THEIR SUGGESTION AND THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE BUT SAID NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY BODY THAT ACTUALLY REGULATES AUTO MAKERS TO NOT SELL VEHICLES HAVING ISSUES. IF THERE IS A KNOW ISSUE LIKE THIS HOW CAN THEY KEEP SELLING THE VEHICLES WITH ISSUES AND HOW DOES HONDA SALES PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE? ITS ALMOST END OF 2015 AND WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO DEVELOP A FIX?

UNUSUAL VIBRATION WHEN CAR STOPS AT RED LIGHT. IT IS SO DISTURBING THAT I FEEL NOT COMFORTABLE IN THE DRIVING SEAT. I AM STARTING TO HAVE NAUSEA AND MY BACK ACHES (PART TIED WITH THE SEAT, BECAUSE VIBRATION) IF I DRIVE IN TRAFFIC FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR AND I WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS A KNOWN ONE AND I FOUND IT LATER WHEN I STARTED GOOGLING. THIS IS A CASE OF BREACH OF TRUST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BUYERS IGNORANCE AND IS AGAINST THE FAIR SELLING PRACTICE. I CALLED UP HONDA ON THE VERY 1ST WEEK, MOST LIKELY ON THE 3RD DAY AND LODGED MY GRIEVANCE (CASE NO[XXX]). I HAD SPENT CLOSE TO $30000 ON THE CAR AND I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS [XXX]. I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BOTH BY HONDA AND THE HONDA DEALER. ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS NOW I AM DRIVING AND STILL HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS EFFECTING MY HEALTH... HONDA SAYS IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SAFETY HAZARD IN THE WEBSITE, BUT IT DOES HAS HEALTH HAZARDS WHICH HONDA CANNOT DENY. MY COMPLAINT IS GENUINE AND THE DEALER HAS ENDORSED IT AS WELL LATER SHAMELESSLY IMMEDIATELY IN THE VERY FIRST WEEK AFTER THE SELL WAS COMPLETED.

VIBRATION FELT AT 20-25 MPH AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND BY SOUND WITH THE VIBRATION BECOMING STRONGER AS THE MILEAGE INCREASES. DISCUSSIONS WITH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CONCERNING A REFUND HAVE NOT BEEN FRUITFUL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY RESULT IN A CRASH; BUT HONDA IS VERY SLOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CR-V EX-L BASED ON EXCELLENT REVIEWS FROM CONSUMER REPORTS AND EDMUNDS. I EXPECTED THE CAR TO BE PERFECT. HOWEVER, HONDA SOLD ME THE DEFECTED CAR WITHOUT ANY NOTICE EVEN THIS DEFECT WAS KNOWN FOR MONTHS. THE ISSUE IS A VIBRATION DURING IDLE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I STOP ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE PASSENGER SEAT STARTS TO SHAKE. IF I RELEASE BREAKS VIBRATIONS WILL GO AWAY. IT IS NOT NORMAL. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE (OR 600-700 MILES). THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT HONDA'S ENGINEERS WERE "WORKING ON IT", NO SOLUTION WAS FOUND YET AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR A FURTHER NOTICE. VISIBLE VIBRATIONS MEAN THAT THERE IS MECHANICAL RESONANCE IN THE CAR. AN EXAMPLE OF DESTRUCTION DUE TO MECHANICAL RESONANCE WOULD BE A COLLAPSE OF TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE. THUS, MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR CAN BE DAMAGED STRUCTURALLY. FOR EXAMPLE, FEW BOLTS MAY COME LOOSE AND THE CAR MAY DISINTEGRATE DURING THE DRIVE. THE PROBLEM COULD BE THAT A NEWLY INTRODUCED CVT TRANSMISSION IN HONDA CR-V 2015 DOESN'T GO ALONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THEY PRODUCE EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS THAT SPREAD THRU A CAR FRAME TO THE SEAT. PROBABLY, THE CAR WASN'T TESTED PROPERLY DURING DESIGN PROCESS. THUS, HONDA ENGINEERS OVERLOOKED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A VIDEO FILE OF VIBRATIONS BUT IT'S TOO BIG FOR UPLOAD. ANYWAY, YOU CAN SEE THIS ISSUE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SR-YQAJRRB8

ON MAY 2ND, 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE A WATER STAIN WAS NOTICED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE B PILLAR ROOF. PART OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT INCLUDED REMOVING THE STAIN THAT SEEMED TO BE FROM A PARTIALLY OPENED SUNROOF DURING SHIPPING. THE STAIN WAS REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. A SHORT TIME LATER ANOTHER WATER STAIN DEVELOPED IN THE SAME AREA. AGAIN THE STAIN WAS REMOVED AND THE VEHICLE CHECKED. AFTER THE CR-V'S THIRD VISIT TO THE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN "INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SEAL SEALER" WAS USED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. OUR HONDA HAD TO BE SENT TO AN OUTSIDE HONDA APPROVED BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ON DISCOVERING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WE NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF OUR "NEW" VEHICLE. GIVEN THE FACT IT HAD SUSTAINED WATER DAMAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES. WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WATER BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF METAL ROOF PANELS. IN TURN THAT COULD LEAD TO RUST, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE RELEASE OF THE SEAM SEALER THAT HELPS PROVIDE THE RIGIDITY NEEDED FOR ROLLOVER CRASHES. ALSO, THE CONCERN OF MOLD DEVELOPING IN THE ROOF AND CARPET. UPON HEARING OUR CONCERNS THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TRADE IN OUR WATER DAMAGED CR-V FOR A NEW ONE. WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES THIS CR-V ALSO DEVELOPED A ROOF LEAK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP AND BODY SHOP HAS HAD OUR CURRENT CR-V TWO WEEKS, TO FIX THE LEAKED CAUSED BY HONDA NOT USING ENOUGH SEALER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF PANELS AND RAIL STUDS.HONDA IS NOW USING OUR CR-V AS FIELD REPORT CASE STUDY TO SUBMIT TO HONDA ENGINEERS. WE WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OUT OF CONCERN FOR OTHER CR-V OWNERS. MANY OWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF MOLD DANGERS AND STRUCTURAL ROOF WEAKNESS.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2015 CRV A DAY AFTER OUR INITIAL PURCHASE IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT IDLE. SO BAD THAT IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IT CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO START TO FEEL SICK. HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT SAYS THAT IT ISN'T A SAFETY CONCERN AND IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY THE CAR VIBRATES AND FEELS AS IF MIGHT DIE WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. THE SAME THING THAT A MANUAL MIGHT DO IF LEFT IN GEAR WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. ADDITIONALLY THE SAME THING CAN OCCUR WHEN INITIALLY ACCELERATING. I FEEL THAT THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE THEY ARE DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER AND THE CRV COULD EVENTUALLY START STALLING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.
