2008 Honda CR-V

THE A/C COMPRESSOR UNIT HAS FAILED AND HONDA KEPT THE RECALL QUIET NOW MY VEHICLE HAS GONE JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY COVERAGE REPAIR WINDOW THIS UNIT HAS A DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD HAVE GIVEN A NO LIMIT ON THE REPAIR LIKE THEY DID WITH THE WINDOW ACTUATOR I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT RECALL ONLY HAPPENED DUE TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

THE 2008 HONDA CR-V HAS ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW CAR AND RECENTLY BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR A DOOR-LOCK ACTUATOR RECALL AT DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN TEXAS AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A LEAK IN MY RACK AND PINION THAT CANNOT BE FIXED. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING/ RACK AND PINION SYSTEM WITH AN ALIGNMENT FOR ABOUT A COST OF $1500. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM/DEFECT WITH THE 2008 CR-V AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE MODEL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO A FIRE HAZARD. MY CAR MILEAGE IS ONLY 11, 637. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR IT TO HAVE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *TR

ME AND MY WIFE BOUGHT A 2008 HONDA CRVLX AND THE DEALERSHIP ON 4-15-2015 AND SAID THEY DID A INSPECTION ON THE HONDA THEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THE RACK AND PINION AND BOOT WAS BAD AND CAN CAUSE THE STEERING TO GO BAD TO ME AND ALOT OF OTHER REVIEWS I HAVE READ HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALSO MY WIFE DROVE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEW CALL AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL NO MATTER WHAT ABOUT THE RACK AND PINION GOING BAD AND IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD PROBABLY CAUSE A WRECK THANKS *TR

I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR FROM FLORIDA TO NY WITH MY DOG. WHILE TRAVELLING NORTH ON I95 I NOTICED SOME INTERMITTENT BUCKING, HARD SHIFTING, AND GOING INTO NEUTRAL. IT WAS INTERMITTENT SO I ASSUMED IT WAS SOME ANOMALY. AFTER STOPPING AT MY FAMILIES RESIDENCE IN YONKERS NY. I DROVE THE CAR TO RIVERDALE TO VISIT MY MOTHER. AFTER LEAVING THE NURSING HOME I PROCEEDED ON THE RETURN TRIP TO YONKERS. I WAS NORTHBOUND ON THE SPRAIN PARKWAY AND EXITED AT TUCKAHOE ROAD. THERE IS A FULL STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION. I WAS FULLY STOPPED LOOKED BOTH WAYS AN INCHED OUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ( THE VISIBILITY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE EASTBOUND DIRECTION IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF AN INCLINE AND THE ROAD HAS HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUME DURING THE DAY) I AM NOT CERTAIN IF THE CAR SLIPPED BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME FAILED TO MAKE A FULL STOP. I WAS HIT RATHER HARD IN THE REAR END. WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION CONCERN THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT OBEY THE STOP SIGN. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION AND REPAIR FACILITY. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN WAS ASSESSING DAMAGE HE PERFORMED A ROAD TEST AND FOUND THE CAR HESITATING AND SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND FOUND THEM TO HAVE A BURNING SMELL AND BE BLACK. I HAD ONLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND CHANGED IN JANUARY. AND PRIOR TO THAT LESS THAN 5 MONTHS EARLIER. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SUDDENLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. AT THAT MOMENT I NOTICED THAT THE METAL PART OF THE IGNITION KEY HAD SEPARATED FROM THE PLASTIC KEY FOB, AND THE PLASTIC PART, WITH THE REST OF MY KEYS ATTACHED, HAD DROPPED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATION, I SAW THAT THE SMALL SCREW THAT HOLDS THE PLASTIC AND METAL PARTS TOGETHER HAD PULLED THROUGH THE THIN SLIP OF PLASTIC TO WHICH IT WAS ATTACHED. THE ENGINE APPARENTLY TURNS OFF IF THE KEY FOB IS NOT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE IGNITION. THIS MECHANISM PRESUMABLY HAS ANTI-THEFT FUNCTIONS, WHILE ALSO PREVENTING ANYONE BUT HONDA FROM SELLING REPLICATE KEYS. IN THIS CASE IT HAD THE WHOLLY UNDESIRED EFFECT OF SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE OF A CAR IN MOTION. IN ORDER TO RE-START THE CAR, THE PARTS HAD TO BE PRECARIOUSLY JAMMED BACK TOGETHER, AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE FEAR THAT THEY WOULD AGAIN RE-SEPARATE AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR, BUT UNDER THIS APPARENTLY UNANTICIPATED FAILURE MODE, IF THE KEY FOB EXPERIENCES A SUDDEN STRUCTURAL FAILURE, THE ENGINE DOES TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS SITUATION REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE RISK THAT THE CAR WILL ABRUPTLY LOSE BOTH ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, OR IN TRAFFIC, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IT SEEMS REASONABLE FOR THE KEY FOB TO BE REQUIRED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT ONCE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, LOSS OF THE SIGNAL FROM THE FOB SHOULD NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. *TR

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WANTED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER ONE. I PUT CAR IN GEAR AND AS I STARTED OUT I HEARD THE ENGINE REV VERY LOUD AND CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED BRAKES AND PLACED THE CAR IN PARK. ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING HIGH. I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. CAR SEEMED TO BEHAVE NORMALLY AND I DROVE HOME (ABOUT 1 MILE). I CALLED A HONDA DEALER SERVICE NUMBER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL BACK BUT DID NOT. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE SERVICE AT ANOTHER DEALER (DCH HONDA OF PARAMUS). I SPOKE TO AN [XXX] WHO TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FOR ANY 2008 CRV'S. I WROTE AN E-MAIL TO HER TO DOCUMENT THE PHONE CONVERSATION THEN CALLED ANOTHER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
