2008 Honda CR-V

CAR WAS PARKED. WE WERE IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HEARD A POP. LOOKED AND THE SUNROOF WAS DEFORMED OUTWARD/SEVERE CURVATURE IN THE SUNROOF. LOOKED INSIDE FROM UNDERNEATH AND SUN ROOF WAS SHATTERED. NATURALLY WHEN DRIVING BACK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT CONTINUED TO BREAK AWAY UNTIL WE COULD DUCT TAPE IT AND DRIVE 400 MILES HOME. DEALERSHIP TRIED TO BLAME 'A ROCK' I CALLED B.S. ON THAT. GIVEN WE OWN THREE HONDA'S THEY FIXED IT ON WARRANTY.

WELL I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE REPAIRED AND THEN LAST YEAR I BELIEVE I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED ALSO, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SYMBOL IS SHOWING UP AGAIN ON MY CAR WHAT CAN I DO CAUSE THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSIS BUT IT IS SHOWING THE SYMBOL OF THE AIRBAG AS IT DID BEFORE SO THE AIRBAG SYMBOL COMES ON AND OFF SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON THE WHOLE DAY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT DOES NOTHING SO ITS BEING GOING ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY

RECENTLY MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY RACK AND PINON STEERING ON THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING. I WAS SURPRISED AS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND NOT ABUSED. IT ALSO HAS LESS THAN 90K ON IT. A SEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT NUMEROUS OTHER HONDA 2008 CR-V OWNERS HAVE NOTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL WHICH I BELIEVE WARRANTS A RECALL FOR HONDA TO REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE. FAILURE OF THIS PART WOULD LEAD TO SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. COMPLAINTS BY OTHER 2008 HONDA CRV OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2008/HONDA/CR-V/STEERING/PROBLEM.ASPX IS THIS ISSUE BEING ESCALATED TO A RECALL? STEERING FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY.

THE DIGITAL DASHBOARD HAS GONE HAYWIRE I CANNOT READ HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE HOW MANY MILES I CAN GO HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR WHEN MY OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND AT FIRST IT WAS PERIODIC IT WOULD ACT UP THEN IT WOULD RETURN TO THE FULL SCREEN FOR WEEKS MONTHS THEN IT WOULD ACT UP AGAIN AND THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING TIME AFTER TIME FINALLY IT HAS GONE COMPLETELY HAYWIRE AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING BECAUSE I CAN'T READ ANY OF THE GAUGES OTHER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE TACHOMETER THERE WERE NIGHTS WHEN I CAME HOME AND I PARK THE CAR AND THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY OUT I CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING STARTED IT UP THE DASHBOARD CAME UP FULL LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG AS SOON AS I STARTED DRIVING IT WENT HAYWIRE AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED AND BEEN IN TOUCH WITH AMERICAN HONDA THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS ISSUE I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE GOING BAD IN A VEHICLE IN RETURN THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I NEED TO REPLACE IT MYSELF THE COST WOULD BE $752 INCLUDING LABOR AND I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I CANNOT OR MY WIFE CANNOT OPERATE THIS VEHICLE SAFELY AND I BELIEVE IT'S HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A RECALL TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE, FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, AND THE REAR DOORS. THE DEALER (GREENWICH HONDA, 289 MASON ST, GREENWICH, CT 06830, (203) 622-0600) WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VSA AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED. THE CONTACT HAD TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR PULL OVER, SHIFT INTO PARK, AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR THE JERKING TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE CODES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.
