IN LATE AUGUST I PULLED INTO MY CHURCH PARKING LOT AS I DO EVERY SUNDAY. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK PEDAL AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. WHILE I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SHOT PAST THE PARKING SPACE HITTING A TREE. THE CAR BARELY MISSED A PARISHIONER WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND SIDE OF THE CAR WERE SMASHED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA COLLISION REPAIR SHOP. AMERICAN HONDA CAME OUT AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION AND THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME "IS NOT KNOWN TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE." THE DAMAGE WAS $5885. I WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE I LOVED THE CRV, BUT KNEW I COULD NOT CHANCE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE. THIS MEANT TRADING IT IN AT A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LOSS TO MY FAMILY. WE GOT NOWHERE TRYING TO GET AMERICAN HONDA TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN.

AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN FURTHER AND PARK THE CAR AND TURNING INTO THE SPOT, THE CAR ACCELERATED EVEN THOUGH I APPLIED MAXIMUM PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I SIDE SWIPED ONE CAR ON MY LEFT AND RAMMED THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY SPACE---MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT TO THE OTHER VEHICLE AND I FINALLY COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AS IT WAS STILL RUNNING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. BOTH INSTANCES WERE VERY SIMILAR AS I WAS PARKING THE CAR IN A SPACE AT LOW SPEED. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS VERY MINOR (OCCURRED IN MAR 2013) BUT THIS INSTANCE IS VERY MAJOR--SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND THE OTHER CARS--I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT GET HURT IN EITHER CASE--SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND MAYBE 2011 CR-VS.

WE PURCHASED A HONDA CERTIFIED VEHICLE IN JAN 2015. AFTER 4,000 MILES THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON PERIODICALLY. WE CHECKED THE OIL AND THE DIPSTICK WAS DRY. I ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL, IT STILL SHOWED ONLY HALF ON THE DIP STICK AND WE TOOK IT TO HONDA. THEY CHARGED US FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO A CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER TWO 1,000 MILES CONSUMPTION CHECKS, IT WAS BURNING A QUART OF OIL IN EACH CHECK. THE LAST CHECK, WE TOOK A PICTURE OF THE DIPSTICK AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT BEFORE WE TOOK IT TO HONDA. IT WAS A QUART LOW AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THAT IT WAS BARELY LOW. THEY LIED TO US. THEY ALSO TOLD US THIS IS NORMAL CONSUMPTION. WE CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYONE TO LISTEN TO US.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED: KEY FOB WOULD ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK DRIVERS DOOR. MANUAL KEY LOCK/UNLOCK ON OUTSIDE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK DRIVERS DOOR. ATTEMPTED TO LOCK/UNLOCK ALL DOORS USING BUTTON ON INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR: COULD ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK DRIVERS DOOR--NO AFFECT ON OTHER DOORS. TODAY, HONDA DEALER TESTED AND THEN REPLACED DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR: PROBLEM PERSISTED UNALTERED. THEN MORE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED: "DIAGNOSED TO FIND THE UNLOCK RELAY INSIDE THE MICU IS NOT PROVIDING POWER TO UNLOCK THE REMAINING DOORS. THE NOISY DRIVER FRONT ACTUATOR, OR ANY OF THE OTHER 3 MAY HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE IN THE RELAY. ORDERD THE UNDER HOOD FUSE RELAY BOX AND CUSTOMER WILL RETURN."

THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST, HOWEVER THE OWNER'S LITERATURE INDICATES IT HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS. ARE THE DEALER'S REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE TIRES WERE RENDERED UNUSABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENSEN TIRES AND THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT "ON" FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TURNED OFF THE NEXT DAY, BUT TURNED "ON" AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THIS DAY. I AM AT A LOST FOR THE REASON AND CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE IT TO HOT WEATHER.

OUR 2011 HONDA CRV IS USING 1.4QTS OF OIL PER 1,325 MILES. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3-4 TIMES CHECKING FOR LEAKS AND CRACKS AND FOUND NOTHING AND STATED THAT THIS WITHIN NORMAL HONDA RANGES IN OIL CONSUMPTION. THE DEALER FINALLY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND ASKED HONDA CORPORATE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE PISTONS AND RINGS UNDER THE 8 YEAR, 100,000 MILE EXTENEDED WARRANTY THAT HONDA HAS PURPOSED AS A "FIX." CORPORATE DENIED THE DEALER'S REQUEST TO FIX THE REPAIR UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CALLED CORPORATE MYSELF AND THE CASE MANAGER TOOK THE INFORMATION DOWN, BUT WAS DENIED AGAIN BY THE SAME EXECUTIVE THAT TALKED TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME RESPONSE. I QUESTIONED THE "WARRANTY" AND STATED THAT IF IT WAS A TRUE WARRANTY, THEY WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY CHOSE THE ROUTE OF IGNORING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE TO KEEP ADDING OIL AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE AND JUST PLAIN FRUSTRATING!
