2008 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN TO GIVE OUT AND RATTLE WHEN TRYING TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. IT ALSO FAILED TO UNLOCK OR LOCK AND AT TIMES LOCKED AND UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN. LOCK WAS REPLACED. JUST RECENTLY, THE DRIVER DOOR DID THE SAME AND IT WAS ALSO REPLACED. NOW THE DRIVER REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. SOMETIMES THE DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY OR WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT QUICKLY RELOCKS. SAME RATTLING NOISE AS OTHER TWO DOORS. *TR

PREMATURELY WORN REAR BRAKE PADS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. ONE YEAR CHANGE FROM 6 MM (LEFT REAR-INNER PAD AND OUTER PAD), 6 MM (RIGHT REAR-INNER PAD AND OUTER PAD) TO 1 MM (LEFT REAR-INNER PAD AND OUTER PAD), 0 MM (RIGHT REAR-INNER PAD AND OUTER PAD). FRONT PADS REMAINED AT 8MM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND COULD NOT BE OPENED WITH THE KEY OR MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE DOOR ACTUATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE COMPUTER CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2007. IT IS A 2008 HONDA CR-V 5DR 2WD EX. A COUPLE/FEW YEARS BACK, THE LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME TWO, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE REAR DOOR. I WOULD PUSH THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY, AND THE OTHER 3 DOORS WOULD UNLOCK, BUT THOSE 2 WOULD NOT. I TRIED USING THE UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTONS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND AFTER HITTING THE LOCK BUTTON FIRST AND THEN UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD WORK AND THOSE 2 DOORS WOULD EVENTUALLY UNLOCK. AND THEN SOMETIMES ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WOULD START UNLOCKING AGAIN USING THE KEY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ANNOYANCE FOR THE PAST 2-3 YEARS. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. PROBABLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THEY FINALLY STOPPED COMPLETELY. THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AT ALL USING THE KEY OR THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE PASSENGER ONE, OF COURSE, I CAN MANUALLY UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE IF NEEDED. BUT THE REAR I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF OPENING THAT DOOR. COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!!! IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE PAIN TO NOT HAVE THAT STORAGE AREA. I HAVE HAD TO LOWER THE BACK SEATS TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE. IT ALSO CAUSED ME TO INCUR DAMAGE TO MY CAR THIS YEAR. I HAD A FLAT AND NEEDED THE SPARE TIRE. WELL, I HAD TO CLIMB THROUGH THE DOORS INTO THE BACK WHERE MY SPARE WAS, ONLY TO REALIZE YOU COULDN'T GET TO THE SPARE BECAUSE THE REAR DOOR WAS IN THE WAY. SO I HAD TO RIP THE BACK FLAP TO GET TO THE TIRE. SO THAT WILL COST ME MONEY TO FIX. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE DEALER TELLING ME EACH ACTUATOR WILL COST OVER $300 TO GET REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING TRYING TO FIND THIS ACTUATOR PART, I CAME ACROSS THE LAWSUIT AND MANY MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND PAY FOR FIXING THEIR PROBLEM!!! *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND 2008 CRV - MY FIRST I OWNED FOR 1-2 DAYS BEFORE RETURNING TO DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM THE FRONT END WAS NOT BALANCED CORRECTLY. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT. I REFUSED TO KEEP IT AND I RECEIVED A NEW CAR A WEEK LATER. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN I AM NOW ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES - EVEN THOUGH I ROTATE, ALIGN AND BALANCE REGULARLY AND I JUST REACHED 40,000 MILES ON MY CAR. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE I JUST FAILED MY STATE INSPECTION DUE TO A FAILED SEAL AND LEAK IN THE STEERING RACK AND PINION AREA. OF COURSE THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOW. HOWEVER, IT'S NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM - IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE - BUT NONETHELESS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE PART $1,200, BUT I MUST PAY FOR THE LABOR OF JUST UNDER $800.00 . UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT ALL THAT POSITIVE THE NEW PART THEY WILL BE PUTTING IN IS ANY BETTER THAN THE FAULTY ONE THAT IS ALREADY IN MY CAR! I HAVE ALREADY PUT THREE SETS OF TIRES ON THIS SECOND NEW CAR AND NOW I MUST PAY FOR YET ANOTHER FAULTY ISSUE. PERHAPS THE WHEEL BALANCE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE FAULTY STEERING AS THEY ARE CONNECTED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA WILL RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE CR-V?? MY NEXT CAR WILL NOT BE A HONDA! *TR

A/C SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING - BLOWING HOT AIR ON 100-DEGREE DAY DEALER FOUND THAT COMPRESSOR HAD FAILED, AND WILL REPLACE IT. *TR

LOCK ON RIGHT FRONT DOOR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. IT STARTED BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY ITSELF. NOW IT IS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND EVERY TIME I LOCK OR UNLOCK IT. I HAVE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT GETTING STUCK IN THE CAR WHEN IT DECIDED TO LOCK AND "NOT" UNLOCK. I HAVE BEEN ASSISTING A 92 YEAR OLD WOMEN. IMAGINE IF SHE WAS STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF A LOCKING PROBLEM OR IMAGINE A CHILD STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. THANK YOU!

I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE IN GARAGE WITH MY 2008 HONDA CRV. PUT BRAKE ON AND HEARD LOUD REVVING SOUND OF ENGINE (LIKE WHEN A CAR PEELS OUT FROM A STOP LIGHT). THE BRAKE DID NOTHING AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD WITH THE REVVING RIGHT INTO THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE GARAGE. IT HIT SO HARD IT MADE MY GLASSES FLY OFF MY FACE. IT BOUNCED OFF THE CONCRETE WALL ABOUT 3-4 FEET AND STOPPED. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME. AFTER THE CAR STOPPED, THERE WAS A REALLY BAD SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE CAR IMPACTED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT OF CENTER. FORTUNATELY, I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. THE SHOULDER STRAP JAMMED FROM THE IMPACT AND COULD NOT BE LOOSENED. AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND THE BAD SMELL INTENSIFIED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED, I WAS TOLD IT "WAS NOT DRIVABLE" BY THE HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS TOWED. THE DEALER WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR OR GO SMELL THE ODOR AS "IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND NEEDED TO HAVE THE BODY WORK DONE FIRST." I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SMELL FOR THE ODOR AFTER THE BODY WAS FIXED. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS RANDOMLY AND IT HAS BEEN RECURRING MORE OFTEN RECENTLY. IT NOW MAKES A TERRIBLE SOUND WHEN IT UNLOCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR; THE DRIVER HAS TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK AND THE PASSENGER HAS ONLY A SPLIT SECOND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNLOCKED DOOR BEFORE IT RELOCKS AGAIN. THERE WOULD BE NO WAY FOR THE PASSENGER TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE DOOR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR - REAR BRAKE PADS WORN OUT AT 25000 MILES. *KB

A FEW WEEKS BEFORE MY 36 MONTH WARRANTY WAS UP, MY DOOR ACTUATOR WENT OUT IN THE LEFT REAR DOOR. IT WAS REPLACED AND WORKED FINE UNTIL RECENTLY 18 MONTHS LATER IT SEEMS THE SAME DOOR ACTUATOR HAS GONE OUT. I AM TAKING IT IN TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $200 WHICH IS A BIT MUCH FOR A LIMITED INCOME. THE DOOR IS WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE IN THAT IT KEEPS CYCLING LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AS I'M DRIVING. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

FRONT-END COLLISION, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKS AND DOES NOT ALLOW REASONABLE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE PASSENGER. THIS PREMATURE LOCKING OCCURS WHILE THE PASSENGER IS SITTING NORMALLY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSES MY SPOUSE OR I TO REFRAIN FROM USING THE PASSENGER SAFETY/SEAT BELT. AGENCIES PROMOTE SAFETY AND MANDATORY USE BUT THE DESIGN CAUSES ONE TO NEGLECT WEARING IT AND I'M AN ADVOCATE FOR WEARING MY SEAT BELT IN MY 2008 HONDA CR-V UNLESS I'M IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALSO, DOES THIS LOCKING POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN ITSELF DURING A SUDDEN STOP FRONTAL COLLISION? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIR THE CONTACT HEARD THE GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

OUR 2008 HONDA CRV HAVE A PREMATURELY WORN OUT REAR BRAKE PADS. WHILE THE FRONT PADS ARE STILL 80% LEFT, THE REAR ONES WERE TOTALLY GONE AND DAMAGED THE ROTOR. THE DEALER WHERE I FIXED THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED THIS TO THE ACCORD SETTLEMENT HONDA HAS (HTTP://ACCORDSETTLEMENT.COM/). AFTER READING THE DETAILS OF THE SETTLEMENT, I BELIEVE THIS APPLIES TO MY CASE AS WELL. BUT UNFORTUNATELY HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DENIED IT. BUT WHAT ELSE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF THE REAR BREAK WITH 23000 MILES? HOW CAN THEY EXPLAIN THAT THE FRONT PADS (ALL ORIGINAL) STILL HAVE 80% LEFT? I BELIEVE HONDA USED THE SAME DEFECTIVE MATERIALS THAT THEY USED IN THE ACCORD. HOPEFULLY MORE COMPLAINTS WILL BE LOGGED FROM CRV DRIVERS TO BRING THIS TO THEIR ATTENTION. BUT NO MATTER WHAT, AFTER HAVING THREE DEFECTIVE HONDAS, THIS WILL BE THE LAST HONDA VEHICLES IN OUR FAMILY!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH WHEN THEY HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR BEARINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 34,000.

ON 4/24/2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15 PM MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING ON THE HWY IN ARKANSAS IN HER 2008 HONDA CR-V AT A SPEED OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. SHE HAD A COLLISION WITH A DEER AND HER AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. HER SEATBELT RESTRAINED HER FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SHE HAS HAD A HIT WITH A DEER AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE THIS TIME AND IS NOT OPERATIONAL DUE TO ENGINE AND BODY DAMAGE. SHE HAS SUFFERED BRUISING AND A STIFF NECK DUE TO THE IMPACT. THE ARKANSAS STATE POLICE WAS CONTACTED TO ASSIST HER, BUT THEY NEVER SHOWED. *TR

THE HONDA CRV LOCKS AND WILL NOT RELEASE IT TAKES SOME TIME PUSHING ON THE LOCKS AND SO FORTH TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE THE DOORS LOCK AND NOT RELEASE. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN PANIC COULD SET IN AND PEOPLE COULD BURN UP IN THE CAR. OR DIE TRYING TO GET OUT. MY DAUGHTER AND HER GRANDBABY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID FOR THEIR LIFE. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I SAY IT IS HEALTH AND SAFETY AND NO TIME LIMIT EXISTS FOR A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. *TR

ON MARCH 23, 2011, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN MVA IN NORTHERN CA. I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON HWY. 80 ON A DOWNGRADE. TRAFFIC HAD COME TO A STOP DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. IT HAD BEEN SNOWING AND I WAS TRAVELING AT 25 MPH IN SECOND GEAR. MY VEHICLE IS A HONDA 2008 CRV WITH AUTO 4WD. I TAPPED MY BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I TAPPED IT AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE. I APPLIED STEADY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THEY WERE NOT SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE CONCRETE DIVIDER TO STOP MY CAR. THERE WAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BUT FORTUNATELY, MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH MINOR INJURIES. I HAVE ALREADY NOTIFIED HONDA AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS RELEASED FROM THE BODY SHOP. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO BRAKE ISSUES IN THEIR DATA BASE FOR MY MODEL OF VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF MY INCIDENT WOULD BE REPORTED TO YOUR OFFICE. THEY SAID "NO, THEY DID NOT REPORT INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS SUCH AS MINE UNTIL THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTED TO THEM". THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WAS NOT GIVEN TO ME. I FIND THIS STRANGE. SO I DECIDED I WOULD REPORT THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU. MY VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION NEXT WEEK. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO HONDA CONDUCTING THEIR "INSPECTION". I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND AS THOUGH I DO NOT TRUST THAT HONDA WILL CONDUCT THEIR INVESTIGATION WITH INTEGRITY. PERHAPS IF TOYOTA HAD BEEN MORE FORTH COMING WITH THEIR PROBLEMS, I WOULD BE MORE TRUSTING. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID ON THAT MOUNTAIN SLOPE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. YOUR INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

POWER STEERING RACK LEAKING AND REQUIRED TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF RACK AND PINION STEERING RACK. TOLD THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BY DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED THE CAR.

HAVING VIBRATIONS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE , ESPECIALLY ON A DOWNGRADE GOING 60 PLUS MPH! TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE, THE FIRST I HAD TO PAY FOR RESURFACING ROTORS AND REUSING MY OLD PADS, BIG MISTAKE! NOW DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME SUGGESTS FOR ME TO PAY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, JUST CRAZY! I ONLY HAVE 22,000 MILES AND I'M STILL UNDER MY THREE YEAR OR 35,000 MILES WARRANTY! BIG [XXX]! SORRY! A 30,000 CAR AND NOT WILING TO PAY A 400.00 BILL , CHEAP ! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE VEHICLE DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT. THIS DRIFT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CROWN OF THE ROAD. IT DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT ON PERFECTLY FLAT ROADS. I THOUGHT THE WHEELS NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED, BUT AFTER THE FIRST WHEEL ALIGNMENT (AT THE HONDA DEALER IN TALLAHASSEE) THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND CONTINUED TO PERSIST AFTER SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS TO ALIGN THE WHEELS. THE DEALERSHIP CONSULTED WITH THE MANUFACTURER IN CALIFORNIA AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE RIGHT FRONT STRUT WAS REPLACED. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT BOTH IT AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALER CALLED IT "MEMORY STEER" AND SAID IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 CR-V. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BEING UNABLE TO ADJUST THE CAMBER ON THIS VEHICLE. I'VE NOTED NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY SEVEN TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. THE VEHICLE STILL DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. (THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT IN DES MOINES, IOWA AND NOW LIVE IN TALLAHASSEE, FL.). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FLUID WAS NOT COMING THROUGH THE HOSE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ATTACHMENT TO THE BODY OF THE ENGINE THAT HAD SNAPPED DUE TO A COLLISION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WIPER UNIT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR STATE INSPECTION AND COULD NOT PASS THE SMOG TESTING. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE SMOG TESTING DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC A YEAR PRIOR TO THE STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSA AND TPMS WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE, VSA AND TPMS WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT ( FRONT DRIVER SEAT ). *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN COLD/SNOWY CONDITIONS. WINDSHIELD WIPERS REST BELOW THE HEATED AREA OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO BECOME FROZEN AND UNABLE TO CONTOUR TO THE WINDSHIELD. EDGES OF THE CAR ARE TALLER THAN THE WINDSHIELD WHICH TRAPS ICE ON THE SIDE EDGES AS WELL AND ALSO DAMAGES THE WIPER BLADES, PREVENTING THEM FROM WORKING. ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE. DEALER UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM. THE ISSUE CAUSES VISIBILITY PROBLEMS AT A TIME WHEN VISIBILITY IS ALREADY BAD (SNOW STORM), THE ADDITION OF A FAILURE OF THE WIPERS TO CLEAR THE WINDOW ADDS TO THE ROAD HAZARD. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SAE J903A COVERS COLD WEATHER TESTING AND IF HONDA SUBMITTED PAPERWORK TO SHOW THAT THE WIPER SYSTEM MEETS THE SPECIFICATION. *TR

THE 2008 HONDA CRV HAS ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. ~3 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR, I WAS TOLD BY HONDA EXPRESS SERVICE THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW WHEN I WAS DOING OIL CHANGE. BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T IDENTIFY A LEAK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 6 YEARS OLD, THE LEAK FINALLY SHOWED UP, AND THE WHOLE RACK&PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE, THE FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. THE SLOW LEAK DOESN'T SHOW UP TILL A CERTAIN AMOUNT HAS BEEN GATHERED, WHICH MAKES IT A FIRE HAZARD NOT EASY TO IDENTIFY. DEALER SAYS IT'S A COMMON ISSUE, BUT HONDA NEVER ADMITTED IT, NOT TO SAY A RECALL ON THE PROBLEMATIC SEAL. *TR

2008 CRV WITH ABOUT 25,000 MILES HAS A TURN NOISE AT THE REAR END. IT WAS TOLD BY DEALER THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEED BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 CRV AND MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING TO KEEP THE DOORS OF THE VEHICLE LOCKED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME OR THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED AND THEY HAVE BURNED OUT AGAIN AND ARE LEAVING THE DOORS OF MY VEHICLE UNLOCKED AT SPEED. I PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON AND THEY LOCK ONLY TO UNLOCK SECONDS LATTER. THEY ONLY SEEM TO HAVE A SERVICE LIFE OF 20K-35K MILES! THIS MEAN EVERY TWO YEARS I HAVE ALL THE LOCKS IN MY CAR FAIL TO REMAIN LOCKED. I HAVE A AMERICAN CAR FROM 1996 AND THE ORIGINAL LOCKS STILL WORK FINE AND STAY LOCKED! *TR

THE CONTINENTAL TIRES HONDA PUTS ON THE CRV ARE POOR QUALITY. I WAS INFORMED BY HONDA'S MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES SOON LAST YEAR. I HAD TO REPLACE 4 OF THEM AT 39,000 MILES NOW. GOOD QUALITY TIRES SHOULD DRIVE MORE THAN 39,000 MILES. *KB

MY 19 YR. OLD DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 10-4-10 IN WHICH THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF HER 2008 HONDA CR-V EX-L APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN HIT "HEAD ON". HOWEVER, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN GOING NORTH AND A SOUTH BOUND DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT, SWERVED, AND TOOK OUT THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF HER CAR, SPUN HER AROUND AND THEN HIT ANOTHER ONE. I'M WRITING BECAUSE THE ONLY AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WERE THE PASSENGER WINDOW BAGS (FRONT AND REAR) AND THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG. THE "SENSORS" SHOULD HAVE SIGNALED THE "DRIVER SIDE" BAGS TO DEPLOY. SHE SUFFERED A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND WE CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT PART(S) OF THE VEHICLE HER HEAD STRUCK. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO "BREAK" THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM (IT WILL NOT RETREAT BACK). THE DRIVER SIDE APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN THE HARDEST HIT FROM THE IMPACT. THUS, IT'S EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING TO ME THAT THE "DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS" DID NOT DEPLOY. I'VE MADE THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY. NO ONE SEEMS TO THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL. SORRY! I THINK IT'S A HUGE DEAL! I RESEARCHED THE SAFETY STANDARDS OF THIS VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY BEFORE PURCHASING IT FOR HER AND SAFETY WAS THE #1 REASON I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR AUTOMOBILE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? *TR

HONDA CRV 2008 32,000 MILES NO HISTORY OF ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE. WHILE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ENGINE FAILED AND STOPPED VEHICLE. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT BOLT. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT WAS DUE TO ABUSE OF VEHICLE. THERE IS NO HISTORY OF ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

HYDRAULIC SOUNDING NOISE FROM BRAKE PEDAL WHEN CAR WAS STOPPED. DETERMINED TO BE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AT 40K MILES ON 2008 HONDA CR-V. DEALER WAS "VERY SURPRISED" AND SAID THEY SUBMITTED TO HONDA - AND THAT HONDA WOULD COVER ALL BUT $100 OF THE REPAIR. HONDA HAS NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS IN A COLLISION MY CAR HIT A CAR THAT HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH I WAS ABOUT THREE CAR LENGTHS FROM HER WHEN I SAW HER AND HIT MY BRAKES IMPACT POINT 12 FRONT CENTER(P)RIGHT FRONT CORNER(S) MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I RECEIVED SERIOUS BRUISING ON MY CHEST FROM THE SEAT BELT AND THE BELTS WERE FULLY OUT AND LOCKED. SHOULD MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE CHECKING THE AIRBAGS ACCORDING TO THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CRV IN 2010 BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DOOR LOCK AND THEN THE HATCH LOCK. WHEN I PUT THE REAR DOOR LOCK INTO CHILD SAFETY MODE AND TOOK IT OFF CHILD SAFETY MODE, THE DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK. IT KEPT LOCKING AND I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE LOCK BUTTON IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA CAR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES AND IT WOULD COST ME $380 TO REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGHT THE PART I WAS TOLD WAS ACTUALLY ONLY $80 DOLLARS. TO ME AND TO EVERYONE ELSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IF IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES. I REFUSED THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. LATER IN A FEW WEEKS, MY HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNLESS THE DEFECTIVE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS ALSO UNLOCKED. NOW, IT IS 2014 AND AS OF FRIDAY, 2/28/14, ALL MY LOCKS ARE NOW LOCKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I USED MY AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK ON MY KEY FOB. I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO MY CAR UNLESS I'M QUICK ABOUT IT BEFORE IT LOCKS ON ME AGAIN. THEN WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS, BEFORE I CAN EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, ALL THE LOCKS LOCK UP AGAIN WITHOUT MY HAVING DONE ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THESE DEFECTS. HERE IS THE LINK TO ARFC.ORG WHICH HAS A LIST OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVING THE SAME DEFECTIVE ISSUES: HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2008/HONDA/CR-V/LATCHES_LOCKS_LINKAGES/PROBLEM.ASPX. IS IT NECESSARY FOR HONDA DRIVER OR THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER GO TO THEIR GRAVE UNTIL THIS DEFECT IS ADDRESSED? I URGE THE NHTSA BOARD TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND TAKE ACTION TO MAKE HONDA SET A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT SO THAT HONDA CRV AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLE OWNERS ARE SAFER ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY LOCK THE PASSENGERS OUT OF OR INTO THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO RELEASE THE LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER BUT HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES, SOMETIMES FAIL TO LOCK OR UNLOCK, AND MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENS ON MULTIPLE DOORS IN MY HONDA CRV. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS A HUGE ANNOYANCE. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT IN THE ACTUATORS IS ABOUT $370 PER DOOR. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT. DO NOT BUY A HONDA CR-V. *TR

ONGOING PROBLEM FROM WHEN I PURCHASED THE CR-V IN 2010. MANY TIMES WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THERE IS AN LOUD, AUDIBLE CLUNKING AS THE GEARS GRIND. I'VE BEEN PARKED NEXT TO OTHER CR-V'S AND NOTICED THE SAME NOISE AS THE CR-V IS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO THE DOORS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND I HAD TO HAVE THE LOCK MECHANISMS ON ALL 4 PASSENGER DOORS REPLACED. LASTLY THERE IS AN ANNOYING WHISTLING NOISE IN THE DUCT WORK FOR THE HEAT AND A/C. I HAVE TO KEEP THE RECYCLE BUTTON ON TO SOMEWHAT DIMINISH IT.

2008 HONDA CR-V WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED. THE CAR WILL VEER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT AT ALL SPEEDS. FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS IN 27,000 MILES (CURRENT VEHICLE TOTAL MILEAGE). FOUR NEW TIRES AT 25,000 MILES (I LIVE IN SOUTH FLOIRDA WHERE THE ROADS ARE AS SMOOTH AS GLASS...). RECENT REPAIR RESULTED IN REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEK BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO FIX BY HONDA. COULD BE DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CRV WITH 18,000 MLS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I MIGHT ADD. HERE IS THE KICKER I HAD TO PAY FOR RESURFACING ROTORS AND SANDING DOWN PADS FOR $ 152 , BLAMING ME THAT THE BRAKES HAVE OVERHEATED AND THAT IS WHY IT NEEDED THE WORK. MY QUESTION IS HOW? THE COMPANY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER OR PROOF ME OF THAT SITUATION , I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE CASE! I TOLD THEM THAT ROTORS HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME I REALIZED IT, I FELT THIS PROBLEM ONLY WHEN I WAS GOING ON A DOWNGRADE GOING AT 80 MPH . IN THE CITY CAN NOT BE VERIFIED NO SYMPTOM OCCUR WHAT'S SO EVER. I FEEL THIS ROTORS ARE TO SMALL OR THE QUALITY ARE OF POOR QUALITY! I ALSO FOUND ON EDMOUNDS.COM A REVIEW, LITERALLY POINTING OUT THE BRAKES NOT AT OF HIGH STANDARDS! I'M SHOCKED THAT THIS ITEM HASN'T COME OUT FORWARD , ESPECIALLY ON SUCH A CRITICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE , ITS BRAKES! THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM SCOTT ROBINSON IN TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA . PLEASE HAVE THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED AND GET MY BRAKES FIXED THE RIGHT WAY! *TR

PASSENGER DOOR LOCK AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS AND CAN NOT MANUALLY BE UNLOCKED. TOOK TO DEALER AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, I WAS TOLD CARE WAS "JUST OUT OF WARRANTY". CAR IS NOW AT 75,000 MILES AND ALL 5 DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED. RESULTING IN MY KEYS BEING LOCKED INSIDE AT A CAR WASH BY THE EMPLOYEES. CURRENT CLASS ACTION SUIT IS PENDING. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT CHARGE ME NEARLY $325 FOR EACH DOOR LOCK REPAIR. HONDA SHOULD DO MORE TO PLEASE THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS, THERE WAS A LOUD, UNUSUAL NOISE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, HEARD AN UNUSUAL METAL TO METAL SOUND AND THE RPMS INCREASED BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70-75 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN UNUSUAL BURNING SMELL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,084. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,400.

VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY/VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-80ISH) AND SLIGHT PULL TO THE RIGHT. ROTATED TIRES. HAD TIRES BALANCED. PURCHASED NEW TIRES. ALL ACTIONS DID NOTHING TO REDUCE THE VIBRATION/PULLING ISSUES. *TR

2008 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER STATES WHILE IN REVERSE, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. *GR THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT AN ENGINE MOUNT STUD WAS BROKEN, A SIDE MOUNT WAS DISTORTED AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR PULLEY WAS TOUCHING THE ENGINE BEAM WHICH RESULTED IN SPARKS AND/OR AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE A/C MATTER APPEARED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE HAVING SHIFTED SOME FROM THE BROKEN STUD AND DISTORTED SIDE MOUNT. *JB

2008 HONDA CRV WHEEL ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS OWNER IN U.S. HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-CR-V/TCU5MEVBRLJO6CTIK THE CAR ALWAYS PULL TO THE RIGHT EVEN WITH 4 BRAND NEW TIRES, BOTH FRONT AND BACK ALIGNMENT DONE WITH CORRECT READING. I VISITED 3 TIMES TO HONDA DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AND I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS IN U.S. HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. HOPE I CAN STILL CONTROL IT, BUT I KNOW IT WILL DAMAGE MY 4 NEW TIRES WITHIN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK MALFUNCTIONED, LEAVING THE DOOR UNSECURED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHEN PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD CAUSED BY THE DOORS ATTEMPTING TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT HAD ALSO OCCURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE CAR SLID OFF THE ROAD IN A SNOW STORM. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE DITCH I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE ABOUT 50 FEET BEFORE STRIKING A TREE. IT NEVER SLOWED DOWN, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD). IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE AWD TOOK OVER AND CONTINUED TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL FROM THE SLIDE ON THE ICE. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH AT THE TIME WHEN I STARTED TO SLIDE ON ICE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS WENT INTO THE DITCH LINE, WHICH WAS ABOUT 12 INCHES DEEP. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WHEELS HIT THE DITCH THINKING IT WOULD SLOW THE VEHICLE SINCE THE WHEELS WERE NO LONGER ON THE ICY ROAD. AS I SAID EARLIER, AT THAT POINT I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN. I SUSPECT THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE AWD WHEN THIS SITUATION OCCURS. IT APPEARS THE AWD SOFTWARE CONTINUES TO GAIN STABILITY, AND PREVENTS THE BRAKES FROM STOPPING THE WHEELS. I ALSO READ A NOTICE FROM HONDA THAT SAYS WHEN A SITUATION LIKE THIS OCCURS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE DISABLED AND REGULAR BRAKING TAKES OVER. *TR
