MY HONDA CRV HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION ON ACCELERATION THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE COMPUTER SAFETY FEATURE THAT KEEPS THE ENGINE FROM ACCELERATING OR RUNNING AWAY WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIS FEATURE HAS A FEW SECOND DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN ROADS WHERE YOU NEED TO TOUCH THE BRAKES AND THEN ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SONS HONDA, MCDONOUGH, GA TWICE AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO ANSWER ON HOW TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HONDA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT HEAD ANYTHING FROM THEM. *TR

LEAVING FOR 4 HOUR VACATION DRIVE; AS WE WERE ABOUT 60 MILES FROM HOME THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LOW-TIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF AT A SAFE SPOT, EXAMINE THE TIRES, CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE VACATION ENDED THERE AS WE TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE. THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE DAY ONE! ORIGINALLY I SUSPECTED THE PRE-DELIVERY TIRE CHECK AND CALIBRATION WAS MISSED SO I PERFORMED IT MYSELF. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO HONDA WHO FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE CONDITION STATING WE ARE WORKING ON A RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER 12/2013. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE UNTIL I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE AND CALLED HONDA USA AGAIN WHO MAGICALLY SAID WE HAVE A FIX. BACK TO DEALER WHO INSTALLED A VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS 6/2014. LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN 8/19/2014 AS STATED ABOVE. CALLED HONDA USA, TOOK TO DEALER TODAY FOR VSA REPAIR KIT FIT USA 13-040. THIS SEEMS FISHY AS IT IS A REPAIR KIT FOR A HONDA FIT NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR A CRV. TIME WILL TELL BUT WE CAN NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AS I AM HANDICAPPED! *TR
Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 6, 2014
SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP THE NEW CR-V IT HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC OR AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY, 3-4 TIMES A DAY. I WILL BE MOVING AT A MODERATE SPEED, 15 TO 40 MPH, AND WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR GENTLY, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN!! IF I PRESS HARDER, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT ACCELERATES RAPIDLY! THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER 10608235 BUT OCCURS ONLY WHEN I AM ALREADY MOVING. I'VE TAKEN THE CRV TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND THEY TEST DRIVE IT BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN SO THEY SAY IT MUST BE "NORMAL". IT ISN'T. IT'S DANGEROUS! SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS HOW THIS VEHICLE WORKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

WANT TO REPORT THE SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFICIENCY IN THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR NEWLY PURCHASED '14 HONDA CRV. ON LOW BEAM, THE RANGE OF LIGHTING IS LIMITED TO DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFINED CUT-OFF LINE. ON HIGH BEAM, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND REPORTED THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND WAS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY INDICATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FIXED AND THAT IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS GOING TO RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF NOT RESOLVED SOON. *TR

Exterior lighting, Aug 2, 2014
WITH GREATER EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE MY LAST REPORT, I AM WRITING TO REITERATE HOW EXTREMELY DEFICIENT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE. IN UNLIT, RURAL AREAS, THE LOW BEAMS ARE INADEQUATE AND REQUIRE THE USE OF FOG LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME FOR INCREASED ILLUMINATION. WHEN THE HIGH-BEAMS ARE ENGAGED (FOG-LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY GO OUT), NEAR-FIELD ILLUMINATION VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARS. I HAVE WRITTEN DIRECTLY TO THE CEO OF AMERICAN HONDA, AND INCLUDED PRINT-OUTS OF NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS CONCERN WHICH ARE WIDELY POSTED ON THE INTERNET. I SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. INSTRUCTING ME TO TAKE THIS UP WITH A DEALER. I HAVE NOW DONE SO AND THE DEALER REPORTS THIS PERFORMANCE IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS CAR. I IMPLORE YOUR AGENCY TO UNDERTAKE AN INVESTIGATION SO THAT TRAGEDIES TO NOT HAVE TO OCCUR FIRST BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN BY THE COMPANY. IN THE MEANTIME, I FIND MYSELF ADJUSTING TRAVEL PLANS AND DRIVING TIMES FOR THE SAKE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. *TR

THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO 10615142 FILED EARLIER. THE TPMS ON MY CR-V DOES NOT WORK. HONDA CAN NOT KEEP IT OPERATING EVEN AFTER 6-8 SHOP REPAIRS. WHILE THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS, I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THE "ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM". AND. THE "ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM". ARE ALSO INOPERABLE!!! THEY WOULD SEEM TO USE SAME "INPUTS" AS TPMS ???? THIS MAY BE FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS!!!
Tires, Equipment adaptive/mobility, Jul 21, 2014
THE TPMS LIGHT TURNS ON REPEATEDLY. APPROX 6-8 TRIPS BACK TO TAMERON HONDA. THEY ARE WILLING, AND HAVE DONE SOMETHING "NEW" ON EACH VISIT. NOW HAS 4500 MILES AND THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. BACK TO SHOP FOR NEW TRIALS. HONDA MUST HAVE SOME PRETTY WEAK ENGINEERS TO NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. ( NEARLY 50 COMPLAINTS AT THIS SITE ). WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. .? IS THERE A FAILURE ON A TIRE OR. THE NAGGING LIGHT AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATE THAT THE TOP EDGE OF THE FRONT DOORS WERE EXTREMELY SHARP AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO SUSTAIN A LACERATION TO THE HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ALTER THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Jul 16, 2014, crash
ON JUNE 21, 2014 AT APPROX 9:34 AM, AS I WAS COMING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE TO TURN LEFT, AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PAD, SLIGHTLY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL *& MY CAR SHOT LIKE A BULLET! IT WAS GOING SO FAST IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO CONTROL IT (IT WAS FASTER THAN BEING ON THE HIGHWAY); I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PADS & THE CAR WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. I MANAGED TO MAKE ANOTHER LEFT (AS STRAIGHT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE BLDG) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT AN UNKNOWN ACCELERATED SPEED. AS I TURNED LEFT, GOING AROUND VEHICLES, I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE PAD & THE CAR SHOT EVEN FASTER THAN BEFORE! I WENT THROUGH THE FENCE & INTO A SEDAN THAT WAS PARKED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARKING LOT, MY VEHICLE JUMPED & LANDED ON THE DRIVER SIDE PARALLEL TO THE SEDAN. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, DEFLATED, I TOOK OFF MY SEATBELT, WENT TO OPEN THE DOORS BUT THE DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN. I WAS FRANTIC, THE CAR WAS SMOKING, RED & GREEN LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED EXITING VIA THE SUNROOF; THAT WORKED, THAT'S HOW I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE (WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF PEOPLE PASSING BY). I HAD JUST LEASED THIS VEHICLE ON TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2014; IT WAS A HONDA CRV 2014. SINCE THEN I'VE FOUND SOME ARTICLES ONLINE WHERE INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXPERIENCED ALMOST THE SAME FRIGHTENING SITUATION THAT I ENCOUNTERED (GOOGLE ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING IN HONDA CRV). I'M BEYOND SCARED TO RIDE IN A CAR OR A TAXI; I'M NOT SURE WHEN I WOULD EVER WANT TO GET IN A CAR AGAIN. I'M EVEN AFRAID OF CROSSING THE STREET WHEN THERE'S HONDA AT A STOPLIGHT. I CAN HARDLY SLEEP BECAUSE THE EVENTS KEEP PLAYING IN MY HEAD; I'M PARANOID! I'M STILL EXPERIENCING ACHES AND PAINS FROM THE ACCIDENT, NO BROKEN BONES HOWEVER. I'M SEEKING TO SUE HONDA FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ENDING OF MY LIFE, DUE TO THEIR PRODUCT DEFECT. CAN YOU HELP ME? CAN YOU REFER TO ME A PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY THAT WOULD PURSUE A SUIT? *TR

MY HONDA CRV 2014 - FROM A STOP IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE, NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN IT JUMPS AHEAD. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. I AM AFRAID TO GO ON A HIGHWAY RAMP WHEN YOU HAVE TO REACT QUICKLY TO ADVANCE ONTO THE ROAD. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN I STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS THEN IT JUMPS AHEAD. I COULD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME!! I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALER IN TENAFLY, N.J. TWO TIMES. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED. *TR

JUNE 26, 2014 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING EAST DOWN HIGHWAY 55 AT AROUND 8A.M. ON JUNE 23, 2014. A DEER CAME OUT QUICKLY FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR AND HIT OUR NEW HONDA CR-V. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS QUITE CAVED IN AND MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I WAS IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. MY HUSBAND'S AIRBAG DID NOT. HE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH HIS SHOULDER. WE WERE QUITE SHOOK UP AND SORE AFTERWARD. THE OFFICER THAT CAME TO FILE THE REPORT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS SURPRISED THAT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AND THAT IN ORDER TO MOVE THE CR-V HE SUGGESTED WE TOW IN CASE THE AIRBAG WOULD STILL GO OFF. THIS SITUATION HAS MADE US QUITE NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. WE WOULD APPRECIATE HONDA INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS EQUIPPED PROPERLY SHOULD WE BE IN A COLLISION. AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE THAT IS NOT THE CASE. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN NEXT, SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. SINCERELY, *TR

THIS LETTER IS TO REPORT MY DISSATISFACTION WITH MY 2014 HONDA CRVS DRIVER SIDE, OUTSIDE, REARVIEW MIRROR. AT THE LEAST, THE DISTORTION OF THIS DESIGN IS A DISTRACTION, AT THE WORST IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO QUICKLY DETERMINE WHAT IS BEING REFLECTED IN THIS MIRROR. PLEASE OFFER A REPLACEMENT MIRROR WITHOUT THE SPLIT DESIGNED REFLECTING SURFACE. *TR

SINCE MAY 27TH THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 4-5 DAYS A WEEK. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I UTILIZED THE MANUAL TO CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM, BUT THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED ALL OF THE TIRES, CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM, AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY. ANOTHER 5 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THE RAN A CHECK THROUGH THE ENTIRE COMPUTER TIRE SYSTEM AND TEST DROVE IT, SO THEY SAY, BUT WHILE HEADING HOME THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I AM SO SICK OF THIS. ITS VERY ANNOYING. THIS MALFUNCTION CAN BE SAFETY CONCERN IN THE LONG RUN. AFTER A WHILE, HOW DOES THE OWNER DETERMINE WHETHER THE SYSTEM IS ACCURATELY OR FALSELY REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES. MY CRV CURRENTLY HAS 1800 MILES ON IT. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME AND ASK THAT THE SENSOR BE REPLACED. *TR

2014 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT, WITH HIS NEW VEHICLE, THE TPMS INDICATOR CAME ON. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SYSTEM WAS RESET. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM (TO NO AVAIL), HE WAS INFORMED THE CONDITION WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN SOME MODELS AND HONDA ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF IT.

GREETINGS - THIS IS TO REPORT MULTIPLE INCIDENTS / A PERMANENT CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS BEING GROSSLY INADEQUATE. THE INCIDENT INDICATED HERE WAS FIRST OF MANY OCCURRENCE WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS, ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. MOST EGREGIOUS IS THAT WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ENGAGED , THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF NEAR -FIELD LUMINANCE. THIS IS GREATLY EXACERBATED IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND UNDOUBTEDLY A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS AND IN THE SAME OR WORSE CONDITIONS MANY TIMES WITH VEHICLES I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED WITH FAR LESS PROBLEMATIC VISIBILITY. REGULAR LOW-BEAM ACTIVITY IS INADEQUATE AS WELL ON UNLIT OR LOW-LIT ROADS. ON MAY 26TH I WAS IN RURAL AREA THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN FOR 15 YEARS FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER DARK IN THIS VEHICLE. THE LACK OF VISIBILITY WAS SHOCKING. THE FEAR OF A DEER OR OTHER ANIMAL CROSSING THE VEHICLE'S PATH UNSEEN WAS GO TREMENDOUS CONCERN. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DEMANDED. *TR

THE EXTERIOR LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WORK NORMALLY AS EXPECTED WHEN SWITCH IS IN LOW BEAM POSITION. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE SELECTED. THE VISIBILITY PROVIDED BY THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS DISAPPEARS WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE SELECTED. THE VISIBILITY ON THE HIGH BEAM SETTING IS GREAT 300 FEET FORWARD OF THE CAR BUT MINIMAL TO NONE 50 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON TURNPIKES WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH. THE VISIBILITY ON HIGH BEAM SELECTION IS SO POOR IT FORCED ME TO USE ONLY LOW BEAMS TO SEE THE ROAD AND OBJECTS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. THIS ELIMINATED THE POSSIBILITY OF SEEING ANIMALS OR OTHER DANGERS DOWN THE ROAD THAT ARE NORMALLY VISIBLE ON THE HIGH BEAM SETTING. IT SEEMS LIKE THE LOW BEAMS ARE TURNED OFF WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE SELECTED IF SO THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT AFFECTS SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ADD MORE LIGHT TO THE LIGHT ALREADY BEING PROVIDED BY LOW THE BEAMS. THIS VEHICLE TAKES LIGHT AWAY ON THE HIGH BEAM SETTING. I HOPE NHTSA ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM VERY SOON WITH HONDA MOTOR CORP. *TR
