About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The Vechile Stability Assist (VSA) light came on and took it too my Honda mechanic and confirmed that the Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) module needs to be replaced and this disabled the VSA. Parts+labor over $2,600+ to fix. Called the Manufacturer (Honda) and told me that I would have too first get it fixed and then submit the bill to them and they may reimburse me some of the cost or nothing. Since the ABS component controls brake and stability this a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall. I looked on the web and in the United Kingdom and Canada that Honda has paid in full. In the US, Honda doesn't consider it a defect and thus won't reimburse the owner's for fixing the vehicle. Once again because this an safety issue I believe that Honda should recall these vehicles and cost should be covered by Honda
My car gets up to 2500 rpms and the check engine light comes on and the VSA warning light as well. The car jerks hard and the engine stutters and won't hardly go. it's done this to me twice and I had the ecu reset. The diagnostic comes up as the vsa system modulator. I have had my 6 and 9 year old granddaughters in the car with me. If I had been on the interstate in heavy traffic taking them to their doctor appointments, we would have been killed. The third time this thing went out I had to pull into the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit. I believe Honda knows about this problem and they should be made to replace the part for free. This is a major safety hazard and the part runs almost $2000 without the labor. I believe they want to drag their feet and not recall this part because it's so expensive. I don't want to die in my car and I can't afford to buy another one. Thanks.
I am the original owner of this Honda CRV. Air conditioning hasn't worked for years. I understand this is a common problem and I would like it fixed has there been a recall?
My rear door does not lock when I push the door lock from the interior, use the key from the exterior or the fob. My passenger side door won't unlock and now my driver's side door won't lock when I lock the doors or unlock when I unlock the doors. I have to manually pull up or push down on the lock lever. Passenger side door doesn't unlock 95% of the time. This is a safety issue. Other's have complained and have stated this is a recall. I do not see any recall notices for the lock actuator. The passenger side door has had issues for over 6 months.
I was driving and all of the sudden the car starting acting strange - acceleration was very weak, steering was heavy, and when I was stopped car would nearly stall. Engine light came on, which was alarming. I took car into Honda dealer and after doing some research they said I needed a software update due to a glitch in the initial software and charged me $224 which I was not happy to pay. This is clearly a defect in their car software since I didn't do anything that would have affected their car software. It could have been very dangerous had the loss of acceleration occurred on the freeway, threatening my safety and the safety of others.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay up. It constantly drops down and blocks my view. If I want to be able to see I either have to hold the visor up with one hand or lay my seat back more. Both of these situations are major safety hazards. There are numerous complaints about the same problem. Honda wants over $100 to replace one sun visor - a monopoly for them.
Honda CR-V leaks rainwater onto floors of vehicle. An inch of water in the passenger compartment makes it dangerous to operate pedals which become slippery from footware, water damage to fire extinguisher and other safety equipment stored on floor for times of emergency. Many, many complaints from other CR-V owners experiencing the same problem online. I dried out the carpet, it rained again and another inch of water inside the vehicle. If mildew/mold grows this becomes a serious health hazard jepordizing anyone riding in the vehicle, especially those with compramised immune systems.
The driver side sun visor swung down from the headliner while I was driving on the freeway a few months ago. Fortunately, I was driving straight on the 210 freeway. Ever since the incident, it would not stay up against the headliner.
The ac clutch compressor is out. This is affecting my health. I have researched this and apparently from 2002-2009 this is a common problem because of Honda placement of compressor and heat from engine. I have an 2003 with the same problem.. with the 2006 and its dark interior I cannot drive the vehicle without opening windows and this is not safe for many reasons.

The sunroof glass suddenly exploded while I was travelling South on I684 in westchester county NY. Fortunately, the sun shade was closed, and we were protected from the shattering glass.
During heavy rains, water will seep in under the carpets from somewhere forward and lower than the windshield. The water comes from under the dashboard, usually on the passenger side. It does not drip in, but rather soaks up from under the carpet. I personally have seen the water grow up to 2 inches in depth above the carpets. After some internet searching, similar problems were found in earlier models of CR-V. the issues found stemmed from faulty/old factory seals on items like the firewall and A/C vents. Please contact with more questions if this information is unclear or could be improved.
We recently purchased a brand new Honda CRV ex last April 22, 2006. I noticed last May 8, while driving the car, there was a continous warning sign that the hatch glass was opened. I stopped and checked but it was closed. I made sure that it was closed but the warning sign never stop. Then, last May 13, my husband noticed the same time and when we were at the parking lot and tried to lock it using the remote control, it didn't lock anymore. We double checked all the doors and closed them one by one, but the problem remained the same. On that same day, we decided to bring the car to colonial Honda (where we purchased) and they could not fix the problem and we were told we needed to bring it during weekdays. May 15, I drove the car to colonial Honda and had their service dept to check. What they were telling me that my expectation to the brand new car is so high and its only natural to encounter problem with brand new car. Thats the point I purchased a brand new car to release me from any problem and this car is only 3 weeks old. They even gave us a service small manual car, that makes me feel more disappointed to the whole thing. They were telling me that the problem with my car is a very small problem but the bottom line, its still a problem and they dont have any control of any slight problem because it was only made by man. Thats what they were telling me. A brand new car should be tested by quality control before release to the market? I received a very poor service from this company and the fact that they gave us a car without inspecting if everything was free from any problem.
