THE HEADREST PUSHES FORWARD MUCH TOO FAR AND IS CAUSING PAIN AND TENSION ON MY WIFE'S NECK AND BACK. ALSO THERE IS NO LUMBAR SUPPORT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SHE IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE IN THIS CAR. WHEN WE CONTACTED HONDA WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO REMEDIES TO FIX THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS WE WOULD NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN UNLESS THEY CHANGED THESE ISSUES. WE JUST BOUGH THIS ONE AND ARE VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE LACK OF COMFORT AND THE INABILITY TO EVEN PURCHASE AN ALTERNATE HEADREST OR TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE A SEAT WITH MORE BACK SUPPORT. THE HEADREST AND SEAT SHOULD BE ADJUSTABLE TO FIT THE CONSUMER'S STATURE AND COMFORT LEVEL. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 CR-V EX WITH SUN ROOF FROM HONDA. THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN OVER 25 MILES PER HOURS WITH ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS OPEN. OVER 50 MILES PER HOURS THE NOISE IS SO BAD THAT THE CAR IS SHAKING AND THE EAR ARE HURTING. I BELIEVE IT CAN EASILY INJURE SOMEONE EAR AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NO ONE TELL ME I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE REAR WINDOWS OPEN EXCEPT IF I OPEN THE FRONT WINDOWS. I HAVE A CHILD OF 2 1/2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE WINDOWS ARE LOCK SO IT DOES NOT OPEN IT DUE TO THE RISK OF INJURE OF HIS EAR. HONDA SHOULD FIX THE ISSUES AND RECALL ALL THE MODEL WITH THE SUN ROOF. I JUST BOTH THE CAR AND FIND ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE 12-08-2008 BUT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT GO AWAY. I WHEN TO HONDA AND THEY TEST ANOTHER CR-V WITH THE SAME RESULT. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CRV ON FRIDAY JULY 25TH. TWO DAYS LATER, WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE BATTERY LIGHT, EXCLAMATION MARK, VEHICLE STABILITY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, AND ROLLED BACK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE DRIVE MODE. I TOOK THE CRV TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CLEANED THE ALTERNATOR TERMINALS, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOW CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. NOW THEY THINK THAT THE ENGINE AIR 'INTAKE' MAY BE THE PROBLEM. *TR

DEAR SIR: I RECENTLY PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 HONDA CRV AND AM LARGELY HAPPY WITH IT. HOWEVER, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT WHEN CHANGING LANES DUE TO WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE AN EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE BLIND SPOT THAT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY OF THE MIRRORS. EVEN TURNING MY HEAD AROUND IS NOT ALWAYS ADEQUATE, AND IS ITSELF DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND THEN DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO SOMEONE'S PLACE OF RESIDENCE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND ALL OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND THE HOUSE WAS MODERATELY DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FAILURE.

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CR-V WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELLER P225/65R17 102T ALL-SEASON TIRES. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT HAVE SLITS/GROOVES IN THE SURFACE FOR RAIN RUN OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTED SWAYING ERRATICALLY SIDE TO SIDE ON OTHER SURFACES IT HANDLES FINE. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE TECH INSPECTED AND TEST DROVE IT, BUT FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT WASN'T UNTIL LAST FRIDAY THAT ANOTHER PERSON EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING ON THE SAME STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH A 2008 CR-V WITH THESE TYPE OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES. THE HONDA TECH TEST DROVE THE CR-V WITH OTHER TYPE OF TIRES AND BRIDGESTONE AND DISCOVERED THE SWAYING OF THE VEHICLE ONLY HAPPENS WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELLAR. AT THIS POINT, THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THIS PARTICULAR DEALER HAS REALLY NOT ADDRESSED THAT THIS VEHICLE WITH THESE PARTICULAR TIRES ON THIS TYPE OF SURFACE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE NOR IS IT A PRIORITY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THESE UNSAFE TIRES FOR A WEEK NOW WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. *TR
Engine and engine cooling, Apr 27, 2008
AFTER DRIVING MY NEW HONDA CR-V FOR 4 WEEKS, 3 TO 4 TIMES A WEEK I BEGAN TO FEEL SICK. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE HEADACHES, NAUSEA, BURNING SENSATION IN MY SINUSES AND THROAT, OVER-ALL WEAKNESS. THIS CONTINUED FOR 5 WEEKS UNTIL I WAS SO SICK THAT I STAYED HOME IN BED FOR 3 DAYS IN MID MARCH. THEN WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AFTER RETURNING TO WORK I AGAIN GOT VERY SICK AND IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT I SUSPECTED THAT THE CAR WAS SOMEHOW THE CAUSE. I SAW MY GP DOCTOR, EXPLAINED MY SYMPTOMS AND HE CONFIRMED THAT THE CHEMICAL EMISSIONS COMING FROM THE NEW MATERIALS AND ADHESIVES IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR COULD BE THE CAUSE. AS LONG AS I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK AND DO SO WITH ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPEN I DO NOT GET SICK. I HAVE READ REPORTS THAT INDICATE THAT IT WILL TAKE 6-8 MONTHS BEFORE THE HARMFUL CHEMICAL LEVELS DROP TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. ALSO, THE REPORTS SAY THAT IF THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE SUN, THE HEAT INTENSIFIES THE TOXIC CHEMICAL LEVELS AND THAT THIS CAN LAST UP TO 3 YEARS. BECAUSE THIS HAS MADE ME SO VERY SICK I FELT THAT I SHOULD REPORT IT. *TR

2008 HONDA CRV LX - STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL AND WHEN CORRECTING THE WHEEL, IT OVER-CORRECTS ITSELF AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
