HONDA REPLACED BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT APRIL 2017. I WAS BROADSIDED, DRIVERS DOOR WAS IMPACTED. MY HEAD WENT HROUGH THE DRIVERS WINDOW. NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS INFLATED. THE BODY SHOP WAS DISTURBED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN IN PHYSICAL THERAPY SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE VA HAS BEEN SUPPLYING MEDICAL TREATMENT. HONDA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH THEY NEVER SAW THE CAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY WERE FAULTY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. WESTPORT HONDA WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR IS NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING IT AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR WITHOUT REVEALING THE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING INDICATING THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. THE INDICATOR IS OFF MOST OF THE TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO COME ON AND HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE ON. HONDA INDICATED TO ME THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TESTED AT MY EXPENSE. I AM DISABLED AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS DONE. OR ABLE TO TRAVEL TO SUCH A FACILITY.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR ACTUATOR IN 2015. THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE OTHER DOORS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS DOOR ACTUATOR AND CHECKED THE REST. THE BACK PASSENGERS DOOR WAS NOT STAYING LOCKED SO THEY REPLACED THAT ONE.I NOW HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WHERE YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK IT . I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY EXTENSION ANYMORE. I PAID $286.27 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I THINK IT'S VERY DANGEROUS NOT TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR DOOR, ESPECIALLY IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY. I AM HOPING FOR SOME REIMBURSEMENT FROM HONDA.

AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH FAN IS NOT ENGAGING WITH THE COMPRESSOR, AND BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. HONDA HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CLUTCH FAN AND COMPRESSOR THAT THEY KNOW ARE FAULTY PARTS, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE PARTS IN TIME TO GET THEM REPAIRED. MY CAR IS NOW PAST THE MILEAGE LISTED ON THE WARRANTY BY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE $1,100 FOR NEW PARTS AND LABOR. HONDA DEALER WANTS AMERICAN HONDA TO "SEND AN EMAIL" TO THE DEALER, UPON CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA, THEY WANT THE SERVICE MANAGER TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. IT IS A GAME OF "PASS THE BUCK". ALSO, I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR FOUR MONTHS LAST YEAR DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL SO I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. HONDAS ARE NOT INEXPENSIVE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE A HARD RECALL ON THESE AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEMS THAT ARE FAULTY, AND HONDA KNOWS IT.

DRIVER WAS PARKED/IDLING IN PARKING LOT WHEN LOUD EXPLOSION HAPPENED. DRIVER THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD REAR ENDED HER. TWO BYSTANDERS WERE CONCERNED AND CAME OVER TO CHECK ON DRIVER. THEY SAID NO ONE HAD HIT HER. THEY FOUND A FILTER, GASKET AND A PIECE OF INSULATION UNDER THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION DRIVER SAW THAT THE FRONT BUMPER HAD PARTIALLY BLOWN OUT FROM THE CAR, IT WAS DETACHED UNDER THE HOOD, UNDER THE GRILL AND AROUND THE WHEEL WELL. ALSO A LARGE CHUNK OF WHEEL WELL IS MISSING. CAR WAS TOWED TO DRIVER'S MECHANIC. MECHANIC DETERMINED THE A/C COMPRESSOR EXPLODED, SUBSEQUENTLY BLOWING SHRAPNEL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, RUINING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AS WELL AS CAUSING SAID BODY DAMAGE. MECHANIC ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE FILTER, GASKET AND SOCK HAD BLOWN OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR, THE BLAST FROM THE EXPLOSION WAS THE APPARENT CAUSE OF THE BODY DAMAGE. A COMPLETE REPORT FROM A BODY SHOP WILL BE OBTAINED TODAY. DRIVER WAS QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MASSIVE DAMAGE DONE AND HOW EASILY SOMEONE NEAR THE CAR AT THE TIME COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. DRIVER WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HER RESPONSE WOULD HAVE BEEN IF SHE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE TIME OF EXPLOSION. DRIVER IS A GRANDMA, SHE MEETS UP WITH HER DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER IN VERY SIMILAR SITUATIONS ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE 7 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN THE BLAST RADIUS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH HONDA TO WHICH THEY QUICKLY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AGAINST HONDA AND WON IN 2012 REGARDING EXPLODING A/C COMPRESSORS IN 2008 CRVS. HOWEVER HONDA WAS ABSOLVED OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAID VEHICLES AFTER 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THE CRV IN QUESTION HAS 120,000 MILES.

ON JUNE 23, 2017, AT ABOUT 8:10 A.M., I TURNED IN TO A DRY CLEANERS STORE AT 5702 EVERHARD ROAD, CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS. AS I WAS SLOWLY TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND APPLYING MY BRAKES, MY 2008 HONDA DR-V ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN, AT A SPEED SO FAST I COULD NOT STOP IT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD. THE CR-V TRAVELED ABOUT 20-25 FEET AND HIT A PILLAR OF THE BUILDING HEAD ON. THE CR-V HIT THE PILLAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT REBOUNDED BACK APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS CRUSHED IN AND THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG INFLATED. THE SUDDEN, UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION OF THE CR-V ON IT'S OWN CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME AND THE CR-V WOULD NOT STOP.

Other or unspecified, Oct 5, 2016
A/C CLUTCH AND COIL IS POORLY DESIGNED. IN THE 2002-2009 HONDA CR-V THERE'S NO HEAD SHIELD OR HOUSING. CONSEQUENTLY, WILL DISINTEGRATE THE COMPRESSOR OF THE A/C SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE A/C CLUTCH EXPLODES IT WILL SHOOT SHRAPNEL OR PIECES OF METAL. AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE POOR DESIGN IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN NOT IF THIS PART WILL BREAK OR MALFUNCTION WILL MAY CAUSE SOMEONE BODILY HARM. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BY HONDA: SERVICE ADVISORY/SERVICE BULLETIN #12-072. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT A RECALL, AND IN ORDER FOR THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND COIL TO BE REPLACE IN NEEDS TO BE FAULTY, AND IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA REFUSES TO COVER OR CHANGE THIS PART. THE OWNER THEN MUST PAY A HONDA DEALER TO CHECK THE CAR, THIS WILL COST $150. WHEN WILL CALL HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA AND ASK FOR "GOODWILL ASSISTANCE" THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL OVER THE TELEPHONE ARE BELLIGERENT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL WILL TELL YOU OVER THE TELEPHONE THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS DEFECT. THEREFORE, THE OWNER IS LEFT PAYING FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S DERELICT A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND COIL PART. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS MOTION ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY.

MY REAR PASSENGER LOCK WAS MAKING A STRANGE SOUND AT TIMES, SIMILAR TO THE SOUND OF THE RECALLED DOOR LOCKS TO THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS. ARRIVING TO MY PARKED CAR, THE UNLOCK FAILED WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY TO MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR (THE OTHER PASSENGER DOORS UNLOCKED). I TRIED TO USE THE BUTTON INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR TO UNLOCK IT, NO LUCK. THEN I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK AND IT WAS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION. THIS WAS THE SCARIEST AS I HAVE CHILDREN AND IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I AM AFRAID WE WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE CAR. LATER I DISCOVERED THE TRUNK WAS NOT OPENING EITHER. THE THREE OTHER DOORS/LOCKS WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL. IT BEGAN WORKING AGAIN A COUPLE DAYS LATER, BUT SOUNDS OFF AND MY CALL TO HONDA SERVICE CENTER HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THEY ALREADY RECALLED THE FRONT LOCKS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

TOOK IT IN TO DEALER WHO ADVISE THERE WAS RECALL ON DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ONLY FOR FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. RECALL DOES NOT PERTAIN TO THE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. PAID TOTAL $259.25 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT DEALER ON SEPT 14, 2016. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. FIRST TOOK CAR IN ON AUG 25, 2016 FOR TAKATA RECALL. I WAS ALSO ADVISED BY TECH THAT THEY HAD DONE CHECK ON HONDA SERVICE SAFETY RECALL 14-083 DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PUD. INVOICE 552018 8/25/2016 MY QUESTION IS WHY RECALL WAS FOR ONLY FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WHEN THE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM?? INVOICE 555643 9/14/2016
