2007 Honda CR-V Electrical System

AFTER UNLOCKING DOOR WITH SWITCH OR KEYFOB ALL DOORS WILL START TO LOCK THEMSELVES. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT. I'M CONCERNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH AND COULD BE A SHORT IN THE MICU MULTI-PLEX BODY CONTROL UNIT. FIRST RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH ($400) AND THEN THE OTHER PART IF THAT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET IN HER VEHICLE WITH THE LOCK SYSTEM. AFTER THE VEHICLE FINALLY UNLOCKED, SHE HAD ISSUES GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

IT STARTED ON THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. IT ALWAYS POPPED BACK UNLOCKED. EVERY TIME I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AFTER BEING STOPPED A LIGHT OR SLOWED DOWN FOR A SPEED BUMP, ETC. THE DOORS ALL TRIED TO RELOCK TO GET THAT ONE DOOR LOCKED, BUT IT WOULD JUST POP BACK OPEN AGAIN. THEN, IN THE LAST MONTH MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. NOW MY LOCKS HAVE GONE HAYWIRE. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF ALL THE DOORS WILL LOCK. WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THEM THEY AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK IN 2 SECONDS. I HAVE TO ALWAYS KEEP MY KEYS WITH ME FOR FEAR OF THEM GETTING LOCKED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I STUCK A SPARE UNDERNEATH THE CAR BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY MY 1 YR OLD GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH MY KEYS! TODAY MY LOCKS ARE MAKING AN UNEARTHLY GRINDING SOUND EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO LOCK WHICH COULD BE 20 TIMES JUST IN ONE TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE. I REALLY WOULD LIKE THE DEALER TO FIX THEIR OWN MISTAKE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE AS TIME WENT BY I NOTICED THAT WHEN I LOCKED THE DOORS IN A PARKED POSITION THE LEFT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED, AFTER PUTTING A PIECE OF NAIL FILE IN THE HANDLE IT WORKED FINE. AS OF YESTERDAY 6/23/13 IT STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE TRAVELING AND THE REMOTE KEY CONTROL WON'T WORK. HOWEVER YOU CAN LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY TRAVELING OR IN A PARKED POSITION. *TR

FOR SOME TIME NOW THE DOORS OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOCK AGAIN WHEN USING REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY. BUT NOW OCCASIONALLY THE PANIC BUTTON GOES OFF AND THE CAR HONKS AND FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AND WE WERE ALL ESSENTIALLY STRANDED UNTIL THE CAR SETTLED DOWN. IT IS EASY TO IMAGINE A MUCH MORE SERIOUS SCENARIO WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND THE CAR CANNOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THE LOCKS ARE INOPERABLE AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND TO DEACTIVATING THE PANIC BUTTON. *TR

MY FIRST INCIDENT THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST 2013 MY KEYLESS LOCK WOULD NOT LOCK MY CAR AND WOULD BEEP 3X WHEN I WENT TO LOCK IT. IT WOULD STILL STAY OPEN. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING MY DOOR IT WAS FINE BUT STILL DID IT OVER A 2 DAY PERIOD THEN IT STOPPED AND WAS FINE. TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH AND I PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY, TURN OFF MY CAR AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS AS USUAL, THEN IT LOCKED ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT. I USED MY KEY TO UNLOCK IT AND OPENED MY DOOR QUICKLY TO GET OUT. AS I EXITED MY CAR THE DOOR LOCKED ITSELF BEFORE I COULD EVEN CLOSE MY DOOR AND USE THE KEYLESS REMOTE. EVEN IF I MANUALLY UNLOCK MY DOOR IT WILL LOCK ITSELF IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AFTER. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2007 HONDA CRV. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN DEATH. LET ME REMIND YOU IT IS SEPTEMBER AND VERY HOT OUTSIDE AND HOTTER IN THE CAR. THIS COULD TRAP ME OR MY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID. *JB

THIS IS COMPLAINT FOR THE HONDA CR-V 2007 LX MODEL. THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK, AFTER LOCKING THE CAR. SO EVERY TIME I LOCK THE CAR, THE DOOR LOCK WOULD RE-OPEN.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR RE-LOCKS WITHIN 2 SECONDS OF BEING UNLOCKED BY REMOTE OR DOOR PANEL SWITCH. DOOR LOCK LEVER IS THEN STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION AND CANNOT BE MANUALLY OVER RIDDEN NOR CAN THE DOOR BE OPENED FROM INSIDE! BATTERY VOLTAGE IS OK. SAME SITUATION WHETHER ENGINE IS RUNNING OR NOT. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A POWER FAILURE, BUT IT MIGHT BE THAT THE DRIVER CAN NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR AND GET OUT AFTER A CRASH. NASTY SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

POWERS LOCKS BEGAN TO GET STUCK ON PASSENGER BACK DOOR. THEY WOULD RE-LOCK IMMEDIATELY UPON UNLOCKING. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS. AFTER THAT, THE LOCKS ON ALL DOORS STARTING LOCKING AND UN-LOCKING WHEN DRIVING SLOW, I.E., MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING THROUGH DEVELOPMENT, ANOTHER 2-3 MONTHS. IT NOW HAS STOPPED THAT AND MAKES A HORRIBLE LOUD GRINDING SOUND WHEN YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. I AM WORRIED THAT AT SOME THAT THE LOCKS WILL QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK CAUSING AUTOMATIC LOCKS TO TRY TO RE-LOCK EVERY TIME I RESUMED DRIVING AFTER A STOP LIGHT/SIGN. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK BUTTON, REMOTE, OR MANUALLY. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED, BUT OCCASIONALLY, THE DOOR WILL LOCK ITSELF AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN IT VIA REMOTE, DRIVER'S DOOR BUTTON, OR MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED OR UNLOCKED, PUTTING PASSENGERS AT RISK EITHER WAY. *JS

THE CAR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY 2-5 SECONDS AFTER IT IS PUT INTO GEAR. LATELY, THE LOCKS HAVE BEGUN TO UNLOCK AND RELOCK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION, I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR, EITHER MANUALLY, WITH THE KEY FAB OR WITH THE LOCK BUTTON. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO OPEN THE LOCK LEVER AND THE OTHER TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. I HAVE ALSO LOCKED MY CAR, WENT INTO A STORE, AND COME BACK TO THE DOORS BEING UNLOCKED. VERY UNSAFE. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIR. BESIDES A CHILD BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, I AM VERY VULNERABLE TO SOMEONE ENTERING INTO MY CAR AND WAITING FOR ME. I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT IS THE FIRST THEY HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN THAT BE? *TR

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. *TR

THIS THING HAPPENED OVER A YEAR & NOW IT EVEN WORSE. ALL LOCK SYS. WILL AUTO LOCK BY THEMSELVES AFTER I PRESSED UNLOCK FOR 2 SECONDS; WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD, ALL FOUR DOOR-LOCKS MAKE THE SOUND TOO LOUD WITH LOCK & UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES UNTIL I GET HOME. I REMEMBER ONE TIME; WHEN I TOOK A FLYER THAT STUCK ON MY WINDSHIELD BEFORE I DROVE HOME; SUDDENLY, MY DOOR HAD LOCKED BY THE WIND. THAT MADE ME CRAZY TO FIND THE WAY TO OPEN IT BECAUSE MY LITTLE BOY (10 MONTHS) WAS INSIDE & BEING LOCKED! I HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP FROM A LOCKSMITH. FOR 20 MINUTES STANDING OUTSIDE & SEE MY LITTLE BOY'S CRYING WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP HIM!!!!!! NOW : BOTH REAR DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED! WHENEVER I LOCK THEM BY THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. BUT MY FRONT DOORS ARE KEEP LOCKING AFTER TWO SECONDS . I'M SO WORRIED THAT SOME DAY PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT MY SECRET ( ABOUT DOORS NOT LOCKING) & MY CAR WILL BE GONE! I ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO FIX THAT ?? ALMOST $ 400.00 PER DOOR (AFTER TAX) ! HOW CAN I HANDLE THAT AMOUNT FOR THINGS TO BE FIX WHICH THEY ARE NOT MY FAULT! CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

BOTH OF THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SOME TIMES WHEN YOU TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, IN OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE CAR THE DOORS STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS CAUSING THE ALARM TO ARM ITSELF AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS WITH THE CONTROL REMOTE. SOME TIMES THE ALARM GETS ARMED WHILE WE ARE IN THE CAR AND IT WON?T START DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ACTUATORS. IN VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE DOORS REMAINED LOCKED WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAR. THE UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, EVEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE LOCK MANUALLY WONT WORK. THE ACTUATORS STAY LOCKED!!! I?M PRETTY SURE THE BACK DOORS WILL START FAILING TOO ANY TIME SOON. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO THIS PROBLEM RIGHT A WAY, OR MAYBE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR POOR PARTS QUALITY. *TR

MY DRIVER DOOR AND HOOD DOOR ARE UNABLE TO OPEN; TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER AND IT'S COSTING ME OVER $800 FOR THEM JUST TO BREAK THE DOOR PANEL AND THEN TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IT'S A SEPARATE BILL; THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND I FIND IT TO BE VERY UNSAFE. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND ACCELERATED THROUGH 6 OR 7 MPH. SO FAR IT IS JUST THE FRONT, RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR, BUT BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL ONLY BE GETTING WORSE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE I LIVE IN A CITY AND ANYONE COULD EASILY JUMP INTO THE CAR AND HIJACK THE VEHICLE. THIS PUTS EVERYONE IN DANGER OF BEING HARMED AND PUTS MY CAR AT GREAT RISK OF THEFT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT GOTTEN A RECALL WHEN IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I ONLY HAVE 34,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THERE IS NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR AND EVEN WHEN I DO IT STILL REOPENS ITSELF SOMETIMES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED. THESE CAR COMPANIES SHOULD NOT BE GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TOYOTA WAS NOT PENALIZED UNTIL PEOPLE STARTED DYING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A HONDA OWNER BECOMES THE VICTIM. *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE ON LEFT PASSENGER DOOR. DOOR WOULD LOCK UNCOMMANDED. ACTUATOR REPLACED AT OWNERS COST AND 1 WEEK AFTER FIRST ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT DRIVERS DOOR MASTER ACTUATOR FAILED WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW THE UNLOCK OF PASSENGER DOORS. PASSENGERS COULD NOT EGRESS CAR FROM THEIR DOORS. THIS CONDITION WOULD BE UNSAFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

BEFORE WE ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WE NOTICED A BURNING RUBBER SMELL RIGHT AFTER WE GOT MY HONDA CR-V. THOUGHT MAYBE THIS THE WAY IT SMELLS WHEN WE TRAVEL MOUNTAINS. WE LIVE IN A VERY MOUNTAINOUS AREA. FOUND OUT AFTER 83000 THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH PREMATURE FAILURE OF AC COMPRESSOR. SO THEN IT HAPPENS THE A C STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS OVER 107 DEGREES. I TOOK THE CAR THE NEAREST GARAGE, NO HONDA DEALERS COULD LOOK AT MY CAR FOR AT LEAST 1 WEEK. SO THE GARAGE I TOOK IT TOO SD THAT THEY NOTICED BLUE ON THE METAL OF THE COMPRESSOR HOUSING AND AROUND THE PULLEY. NO WEAR OR TEARING ON THE BELT THOUGH. THE GARAGE MECHANIC C SD THAT THE BLUE ON THE HOUSING MEANT THAT THE METAL ON THE HOUSING WAS GETTING REALLY HOT, WHICH WOULD ACCT OR THE SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER. I HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRED BECAUSE MY GARAGE CANNOT FIND AN AC COMPRESSOR IN NORTH AMERICA. SO LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS OR FIRES BUT TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON SEVERAL JAPANESE BRANDED CARS WHEN DRIVING AT DUSK. MANY NEWER VEHICLES (HONDA CRV-CIVIC, LEXUS RX-LS, NISSAN VERSA) WITH LED OR ELECTRO-FLUORESCENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ARE LIT ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT BE SET TO OPERATE ON AUTO ON LAMPS. THIS LEADS TO THE ASSUMPTION BY THE DRIVER THAT THE HEADLAMPS AND TAIL LAMPS ARE ON WHEN REALLY THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE. AFTER NOTICING THIS HAPPEN ON A LOT OF HONDA/TOYOTA/NISSAN CARS OF IN TRAFFIC, I WONDERED WHY THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED SUCH VEHICLES YET. WOULD THERE BE THE POSSIBILITY TO MAKE A REQUIREMENT FOR THESE AUTOMAKERS TO PLACE A WARNING LIGHT TO WARN THEM IN THESE SITUATIONS? IT SEEMS THAT AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN MAKES DON?T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM ALSO AFFECTS VEHICLES OF JAPANESE NAMEPLATES THAT HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS. THIS LOW INTENSITY BEAM ALSO GIVES THE DRIVER THE SENSE THAT THE LAMPS ARE ON, WHEN THEY ARE AT A LOW LEVEL, AND THE REAR TAIL LAMPS ARE ACTUALLY OFF. I HAVE SEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES, WITH DRLS AFTER DUSK WHEN IS IT NOT CLEAR TO THE DRIVER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. AFTER RENTING AN 08 NISSAN VERSA, I TOO HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE LIT CLUSTER INDICATED TO ME THAT MY LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT IN REALITY, I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH MY LIGHTS OFF, AND I REALIZED THIS 10 MINUTES AFTER THE FACT. AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO TELL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE BY TOGGLING THE SWITCH ON/OFF, BECAUSE THERE IS NO FEEDBACK FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHEN THESE LAMPS ARE ON OR OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND I HOPE RECALLS CAN BE EFFECTIVELY PROPOSED TO PREVENT INJURIES OR DEATHS FROM HAPPENING, AS I DO FEEL THAT THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE JAPANESE AUTOMAKERS HAVE OVERLOOKED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND SERIOUSNESS OF THIS MATTER. PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS ISSUE, AND HELP ME TRACK IT SO THAT IT DOES REACH THE CORRECT HANDS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER NEW CRV WITH OUR NEWBORN INFANT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 8PM. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR DIED AND THE DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. SHE TRIED STARTING IT AND IT CAUGHT AFTER A FEW TRIES. WHAT KIND OF CRAP VEHICLE IS HONDA PUTTING OUT? THIS IS OUR FIRST HONDA AND IT WILL BE THE LAST. WE CALLED BREWSTER HONDA AND THEY WERE VERY ACCOMMODATING BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN?T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE IS NO WAY MY WIFE AND BABY WILL GET IN THAT DEATH MOBILE AGAIN. OF COURSE HONDA USA HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. I GUESS THEY NEED A LAWSUIT AND SOME NEWS STATIONS TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. IT HAS ALSO BEEN IN SERVICE FOR RUNNING VERY ROUGH EVERY FEW WEEKS BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WITH THAT EITHER. IT WAS BOUGHT IN APRIL 2007 AND HAS 8500 MILES. *TR

WE PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CRV 2007 FOR MY DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE IN OCTOBER 2006 FROM ED VOYLES HONDA, MARIETTA, GA. IN APRIL OF 2007 MY DAUGHTER HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR AFTER IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN AND LEFT PARKED FOR A HOUR OR MORE. SHE HAD TO CRANK THE ENGINE FOR 10-20 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. WE DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM IN E-MAIL TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK THE CAR IN ON MORE THAN THREE OCCASIONS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. DURING JULY 2007 WE LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE WEEKS FOR THEM TO TRY AND RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE DEALERSHIP CONSULTED WITH THE HONDA TECH-LINE AND THEY COULD STILL NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. DURING THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING MORE THAN 15 TIMES TO DIFFERENT DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE. ON SUNDAY 10-14-2007 IN FRUSTRATION I GAVE MY CAR TO MY DAUGHTER TO TAKE BACK TO COLLEGE SINCE THE HONDA CRV WAS PROVING TO BE TOO UNRELIABLE. ON THE DAY I DROVE THE CRV AND SURE ENOUGH AFTER HAVING PARKED THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS IT TOOK ME 24 MINUTES OF CRANKING TO START THE CAR. ONCE THE CAR STARTED I DROVE FOR TWO MILES AND THEN IT JUST CUT-OUT. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION FOR 3 TERRIFYING MINUTES OF CRANKING THE ENGINE BEFORE IT STARTED AGAIN. WE HAVE NOW RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WE HAVE A RENTAL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE HONDA CRV 2007 HAS PROVED TO BE VERY UNRELIABLE AND AS A PARENT I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR. WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AND THINK THAT HONDA USA SHOULD NOW REMEDY THE SITUATION. IN OUR ESTIMATION THIS CAR IS A "LEMON" AND WE ARE NOW CONSIDERING OUR LEGAL OPTIONS UNDER THE GEORGIA LEMON LAW. BY ALL RIGHTS HONDA USA SHOULD REPLACE THIS VEHICLE WITH A NEW ONE. *JB
