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. *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT 2007 CR-V HONDA DRIVERS DOOR LOCK MAY NOT LOCK OR CYCLE WHEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO SPRING BRANCH HONDA IN HOUSTON, TX FOR THE RECALL REPAIR; NOW THE LEFT REAR DOOR CYCLES LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING EVERYTIME YOU STOP/START, BUT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED-OFF NOR AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE LEFT DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION NOR AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH MY EIGHT YEAR OLD IS WEARING A SEATBELT I'M STILL AFRAID HE MAY OPEN THE DOOR ACCIDENTALLY AND FALL OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. *TR

NOTICED A WHINING SOUND WHILE DRIVING COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH POWER STEERING CONTROL PUMP PROBLEMS. ALSO NOTICED FLUID LEAK SPOTS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR WHEN PROBLEM FIRST STARTED. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT & WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS CORRODED AS WELL AS THE "TRANSMISSION" HOSE HAD RUSTED. WE FOUND IT VERY UNUSUAL THAT A POWER STEERING HOSE WOULD CORRODE GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE BOUGHT THE HONDA NEW AND IT HAD BEEN RECENTLY SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT THE COST OF OVER $500.00 LAST YEAR. THE HONDA DEALER FOUND LEAKING POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE AND ALSO REPLACED THE COOLER LINE WHICH WAS TOO RUSTED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $762.46!! WE DON'T KNOW IF HONDA USED INFERIOR QUALITY HOSES BUT IT SURE SEEMS LIKE IT BECAUSE I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY POWER STEERING HOSE FOR MY 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP TRUCK & HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM REMOTELY RELATED TO "CORROSION" OR "RUSTING" ACCORDING TO THE HONDA TECHNICIAN'S SERVICE REPORT. WE WERE ONE OF THOSE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DOOR ACTUATOR WHICH WILL BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECENT RECALL NOTICE WE RECEIVED LAST WEEK. THIS WOULD HAVE COST US $250.00 TO HAVE THE ACTUATOR PROBLEM FIXED IF WE HADN'T BEEN NOTIFIED!! *JS
