2016 Honda HR-V

WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THE RECALL PROCESS REGARDING 2016 HONDA HRV PUSH TO START BUTTON. MY PUSH START BUTTON STOPPED RESPONDING A FEW MONTHS BACK AND HAS NOT BEEN FUNCTIONAL DESPITE THE CAR BEING FAIRLY NEW. WE'LL HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED AND UPON LOOKING INTO IT ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AND MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE FAULTY.

I BOUGHT A 2016 WHITE HRV IN FEB. WITHIN A MONTH A GIANT SECTION OF PAINT PEELED RIGHT OFF THE ROOF. I WAS JUST READY TO PAY FOR IT. TOOK TO A PROFESSIONAL CAR PAINTER AND HE SAID "ID LOVE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY, BUT THIS IS A HONDA DEFECT AND THEY REALLY SHOULD FIX IT AND ITS GOING TO KEEP COMING OFF THE REST OF THE ROOF AND OTHER PLACES". THEN HE SAID HE KNEW THAT HONDA WAS HAVING PAINT PEELING ISSUES ESPECIALLY WHITE CARS. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE 2 VERY SMALL SECTIONS OF PEELED PAINT ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR UNDER THE WINDOW. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND FILED A CLAIM BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM CORPORATE.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 HRV IN JULY 2018, USED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD JUST GOTTEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL LIKE THEY RUSHED THROUGH THE INSPECTIONS TO GET IT SOLD AND OUT THE DOOR. 9 DAYS LATER, MY AIR CONDITIONING SEEMED TO NOT BE COOLING DOWN AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAD THEM CHECK IT, SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AND FIXED IT. 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY "HAD THE ENTIRE SERVICE TEAM UNDER THERE" AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SOMEHOW IT WAS FIXED WHEN I GOT IT BACK. 2 MONTHS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND, FED UP WITH THE FORD DEALER, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT AFTER GETTING IT UP ON A LIFT, IT LOOKED LIKE SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT CAUSED THE ISSUE AND IT MIGHT VOID MY WARRANTY! BUT THEY WERE GOING TO FIX IT AND SEE IF IT WOULD GO THROUGH, BUT I MIGHT NOT BE COVERED LATER. UPSET I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC FRIEND AND ASKED HIM TO PUT IT ON A LIFT AND TAKE PHOTOS OF ANY DAMAGES TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR NOT DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE IN INSPECTING AND REPORTING DAMAGES. HE PUTS IT UP AND SAYS THERE'S NOT A SCRATCH OR DENT ON IT, THE CAR IS IN CHERRY CONDITION AND HE'D DRIVE IT CROSS COUNTRY WITHOUT CONCERN. CALLED HONDA SERVICE AND HE SAID THEY'D REPLACED THE PART AND THAT THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN SPECIFICALLY TO THE PART SO THERE WAS NO MORE EVIDENCE, BUT THE PART HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY FORD AND I'VE HAD NO ACCIDENTS SINCE OWNING IT SO I'M MAD THAT THEY LIED TO GET MORE MONEY FROM ME. IT'S BEEN FINE NOW FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS BUT I'M PRAYING IT HOLDS UP IN FL SUMMER.

AIR CONDITIONER, I HAVE HAD MY BRAND NEW 2016 HONDA HR-V SINCE FEBRUARY 2016, I USED MY AC FOR 2 SEASONS A TOTAL OF 6 MONTHS AND THIS SUMMER IT BARELY GOT COLD, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND IT NEEDS TO BE CHARGED SO WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA THEY TOLD ME SINCE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT CHARGED. SO I ASKED THEM WHAT DOES IT ONLY LAST 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT NEEDS TO BE CHARGED THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON HOW LONG IT WOULD STAY CHARGED. I HAVE SEEN WHERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON LINE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS CAR.

UNDER SLOW SPEED ABOUT 10 MPH CAR WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN BUFFALO,NY IN LATE NOVEMBER AND SLID ON ICE INTO A CURB(PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL) AND RECOVERED. 3 WEEKS PASSED NOTICED THAT THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IN CAR WAS READING ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO -40 DEGREES AND THEN THE DISPLAY WOULD DISAPPEAR. ALSO DEFROSTER WAS RUNNING INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID THAT TEMPERATURE SENSOR ATTACHED IN THE WHEEL AREA WAS DAMAGED ALONG WITH THE WIRES BEING CORRODED THAT WERE ATTACHED TO THE SENSOR. DEALER STATED THAT THIS COULD CAUSES A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS LATER LIKE THE DEFROSTER SHUTTING DOWN ALONG WITH ANY KIND OF CIRCULATION. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN WINTER. ALSO, THEY NOTED THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO, MIND YOU IF YOU SLID INTO TO ANYTHING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PART COULD HAVE BEEN PLACED IN A SAFER SPOT TO AVOID THIS KIND OF DAMAGE. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THIS KIND OF PART SO VULNERABLE TO THE ENVIROMENT.

FOR SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH, CAR VIOLENTLY VIBRATED. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY, SAME THING HAPPENED AT SAME SPEED, SO I CALLED AND DEMANDED THEY PICK UP MY CAR AND BRING ME A RENTAL. LEARNED THE PROPELLER SHAFT HAD ONLY ONE BOLT HALF WAY HOLDING IT IN PLACE. ONLY TWO BOLTS OF 4 WERE EVER INSTALLED.

I PURCHASED MY HR-V (EX-L WITH NAVIGATION) IN MAY 2015 AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA SERVICE THAT MY HR-V NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THAT THERE IS NOT ONE AVAILABLE YET (IT HAS NOW BEEN 1 YEAR). WHEN I AM DRIVING, AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, THE ENTIRE DISPLAY SCREEN GOES BLACK / SHUTS DOWN AND REBOOTS TO THE HONDA SCREEN. I HAVE NO NAVIGATION, RADIO, BLUETOOTH PHONE CONNECTION OR ANY DISPLAY WHATSOEVER. WHEN THE SCREEN COMES BACK ON, IT HAS REMEMBERED MY DESTINATION MOST TIMES AND ASKS IF I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO THE DESTINATION, BUT THIS IS VERY UNSETTLING TO SAY THE LEAST, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM IN AN UNFAMILIAR AREA. ALSO, THE RADIO FREEZES UP AND WONT PLAY ANY SOUND - USING XM RADIO, IPOD, AM OR FM, NOTHING COMES OUT OF THE SPEAKERS UNTIL I "JAR" IT BY PUTTING A CD INTO THE SLOT, THEN I GET TO HEAR THE CD. THIS PROCESS OF THE RADIO FREEZE ENDS UP LOCKING UP MY IPOD AND LEAVES IT UNABLE TO RECONNECT UNTIL THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DIES AND I RECHARGE IT AND START OVER THE NEXT DAY. MY MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS WHEN THE ENTIRE SCREEN SHUTS DOWN / REBOOTS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THERE NOT BEING ANY AVAILABLE FIX FOR THIS AS FAR AS MY HONDA DEALER IS TELLING ME.
