TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED FINE. RADIO WAS BLINKING AND HAD TO ENTER RADIO SECURITY CODE LIKE THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. DROVE CAR HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS MORNING CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN, FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCESS OF LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR WOULD START (NO BLINKING RADIO THOUGH). DROVE INTO WORK, STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, STARTED TO DRIVE (MOVED ABOUT 50 FEET) AND DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. GOOD SAMARITAN MESSED WITH IT AND MANAGED TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL SO IT COULD BE PUSHED TO SIDE OF ROAD. SAID THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN ENGAGED WHICH IS WHY IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK?

    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

NOW ITS APRIL 2011 AND HERE I AM AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS LOCKING THEN POPS OPEN AGAIN. IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. I AM AT HONDA AND IT IS GOING TO COST $238.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOOKS. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL OPEN TO CARJACKERS AS I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND, AND I HAVE NO CAPABILITY OF SECURING MY CAR AND THE ITEMS IN IT. THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FIRST AND THEN THEY MIGHT REFUND TO ME PART OF THE FEES.

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE LOGGED SAME ISSUE ONLINE. DEALERS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. HONDA OF AMERICA SAY THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT CLEARLY THERE IS SOME ISSUE IN THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZATION OR OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE RELATED TO IGNITION. SOME ONE NEED TO DIG IN TO THE ISSUE AND HAVE IT FIXED BY HONDA REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE.

  10. Electrical system, Mar 6, 2008

    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

    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

    TO BEGIN, I RECENTLY PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM MANLY HONDA, IN MARIN COUNTY, CA, EARLIER THIS JAN/FEB OF 2007 A BRAND-NEW 2007 HONDA CR-V EXL, $28K. A FIRST-TIME CAR BUYER, I HAD PAID IN FULL USING MY HARD-EARNED MONEY WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE A RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE AND TROUBLE-FREE CAR. ALAS, I BEGAN NOTICING SOME IRREGULARITIES WITH THE CAR SOON THEREAFTER. TO NAME BUT A FEW, THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1) A TAPPING SOUND IN THE BACK OF MY CAR; 2) A WET SPOT NOTED ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE UNDER THE HOOD AREA; 3) INTERMITTENT INABILITY TO START THE CAR WHEREBY THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON; AND 4) INABILITY TO ACCELERATE, BUT SUDDEN SURGE THEREAFTER WHEN DRIVING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED ON MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 2007. LATER THAT AFTERNOON I RECEIVED A CALL FROM SF HONDA, THE SERVICE DEALER, TO ADVISE THAT: 1) THE TAPPING SOUND IN THE BACK OF MY CAR IS DUE TO A WELDING DEFECT. HAVING JACKED UP THE CAR AND REMOVED ALL THE BACK PANELS TO THE VEHICLE, THEY HAD DETERMINED THAT THE DEFECTIVE WELD OR WELDS WERE LOCATED FURTHER WITHIN THE VEHICLE AND MY CAR WOULD NEED TO BE SENT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO BE FURTHER STRIPPED APART TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF DEFECTIVE WELDS IN QUESTION. 2) A POWDER TEST PERFORMED ON MY ENGINE HAD DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. 3) THEY HAD YET TO DETERMINE WHY MY CAR WOULD FAIL TO START AND THE BATTERY LIGHT APPEAR; AND 4) THE SUDDEN SURGING OF MY VEHICLE ONCE I HAD STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR WAS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION. UPON HEARING THIS, I WAS FLABBERGASTED. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A BRAND-NEW CAR, A HONDA WHICH IS NOTED FOR ITS RELIABILITY, WOULD ENCOUNTER SUCH PROBLEMS? AND AT 3,158 MILES? AND SIMULTANEOUSLY? WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT HONDA'S QUALITY ASSURANCE AND MANUFACTURING STANDARDS? *TR
