I PURCHASED A HONDA FOR DURABILITY BUT APPARENTLY THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING FROM SEVERAL CONSUMERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

2. Steering, Nov 23, 2015

   POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION REPORTEDLY NEED REPLACEMENT, AND REALIGNMENT, DUE TO FLUID LINK. THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE, YEAR AND MAKE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS.

3. Air bags, Structure, Nov 22, 2015

4. Air bags, Oct 25, 2015

   MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG CODE 32-10 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT COST ME $638.26 TO REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST AND AM INQUIRING HOW MANY OTHER 2008 HONDA CRVS HAD THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE THE WRITTEN DIAGNOSTIC COMMENT AND REPLACEMENT RECEIPT.

5. Visibility/wiper, Oct 22, 2015

   APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO A CRACK STARTED IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT STARTED FROM THE TOP RUBBER GASKET & WAS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE WINDOW VISOR HOLDER. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE HAD THE WINDOW REPLACED BY SAFELIGHT WINDOW REPAIR COMPANY. NOW WE HAVE A CRACK STARTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD & RUNNING DOWN FROM THE TOP RUBBER GASKET & ALSO IN DIRECT ALIGNMENT WITH THE VISOR HOLDER. A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE MUST BE APPLIED TO SEAT THE VISOR BACK INTO THE HOLDER. BOTH CRACKS HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL WITH NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF DAMAGE BY A ROCK, ETC. BOTH TIMES THE VISORS HAD BEEN TURNED TO THE SIDE WINDOW TO BLOCK THE SUN.

6. Vehicle speed control, Oct 19, 2015, crash

   I HAD JUST MADE A SHARP TURN IN THE PARKING GARAGE TO PULL INTO MY PARKING SPOT. THE CAR ACCELERATED FROM ESSENTIALLY A DEAD STOP.

YOU COULD SMELL THE BURNING IN THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I STRUCK THE L FRONT BUMPER, BLEW THE DRIVERS TIRE, CRUMPLED IN THE FENDER AND DID INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. I WAS SEEN AND TREATED AT AN URGENT CLINIC THAT NIGHT FOR BACK PAIN. A CITY POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED SINCE IT OCCURRED ON HOSPITAL PROPERTY BUT IT WAS FILED WITH HOSPITAL POLICE. THE DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED AT A PROFESSIONAL BODY SHOP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ACCELERATION. SAID "IT MUST JUST BE A GLITCH....."

    I OWN A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I ATTEMPTED TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS. HOWEVER, THE LEFT SIDE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DID NOT LOCK. I THINK THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AS MY PASSENGERS. ALSO, KNOWING THAT MY CAR WAS LOCKED ALREADY BUT NOT, THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL DANGER OF BAD GUYS COMING INSIDE EITHER TO TAKE VALUABLE ITEMS OR DAMAGE MY CAR. I AM PLANNING TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT WONDERING IF THE CHARGES WOULD BE COVERED BY ANY SERVICE BULLETINS TO GIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE FOUR DIFFERENT FAILURE MODES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AC COMPRESSOR EXPLODED OR IMPLODED AND COULD HAVE LEFT SHARDS OF METAL ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS DRIVING ON.

    BOUGHT OUR 2008 CRV, BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. BROUGHT CAR FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT IN HIS YEARS OF WORKING THERE, THIS IS ON OF THE WORST LEAKS HE HAS SEEN. MY CAR IS DRIVEN IN THE SUBURBS, TO PICK UP KIDS AND NO LONG ROAD TRIPS. WE BOUGHT A HONDA SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DURABILITY AND NOW WE HAVE TO SHELL OUT $2000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK. I THINK WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF 2008 CRV MODELS ABOUT THEIR STEERING RACKS, HONDA SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE IT! I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT SOMETHING MIGHT FAIL WHEN WE ARE DRIVING. WHAT A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT, HONDA

    A/C STARTED BLOWING OUT WARM AIR. I CALLED LOCAL HONDA SERVICE AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL FOR MY VIN# BUT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR $115 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 7 YRS OR 100,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST TO REPLACE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND FIELD COIL IF NEEDED BUT MY VEHICLE HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IF THERE IS A DEFECT THEN HONDA SHOULD ADD TO RECALL SO THIS IS COVERED. I READ SOMETHING ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS FILED AND SETTLED ALREADY IN 2011/2012 FOR AC PROBLEMS WITH HONDA.

WENT AWAY FROM THE PHONE FOR A LITTLE BIT, THE DEALER CALLED BACK & LEFT A MESSAGE TO SAY MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL FOR AIR CONDITIONING AND I CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER CHECKING NUMEROUS SITES I'VE REALIZED MY ORIGINAL CONTENTION IS CORRECT, THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ENGINEERING FLAW FROM HONDA AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM AT LITTLE (MAYBE FOR COOLANT REFILL) TO NO CHARGE, JUST FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN.

    THE CUSHION MATERIAL IN THE FRONT SEATS IS DISINTEGRATING. EACH WEEK THERE IS MORE AND MORE FOAM DUST UNDER EACH OF THE FRONT SEATS ON THE DOOR SIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT USED OFTEN AS I AM SINGLE---MY MOTHER DOES SIT THERE(SHE WEIGHS 110 LBS). I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE CAR AND AT 137 LBS I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SEAT WAS SO POORLY CONSTRUCTED THAT THE FOAM, OR WHATEVER THE SEAT IS MADE OF, IS DISINTEGRATING ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMPROMISING THE SEAT CUSHION AIRBAG. I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT START DATE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING I BELIEVED THE DUST TO BE JUST THAT OR POSSIBLE DIRT/SAND FROM SHOES GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER INQUIRING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT HONDA DIRECTLY. I WILL BE CONTACTING THEM SOON IN AN ATTEMPT TO ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, I WANTED TO CONTACT YOU AS I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN. COULD THIS POTENTIALLY LEAD TO THE AIRBAGS INFLATING BECAUSE OF A LACK OF PADDING? NO LONGER WILL THE AIRBAGS BE CUSHIONED FROM ANY IMPACTS/BUMPS/WEIGHT-- NOT AS MUCH MATERIAL. AGAIN, I AM SURE THIS COULD LEAD TO A PROBLEM OF SAFETY IF IT COMPROMISES THE CUSHION AIRBAGS. THANK YOU

    AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH FAILURE ... REPAIR COST ~$750. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (NOW CLOSED). HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE GOOD FOR REPAIR COST!
