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 drivers side door is the only key hole available to unlock or lock the car. This key hole is jammed at a diagonal angle and will not accept a key in any way. Thus, whatever state the car is currently in (locked in my case) is the state that it will stay. No professional has checked it out. It is easily inspectable. There were no warnings by the car that this would happen, however, within 24 hrs before the door lock was jammed, the car wouldn't stay locked and would unlock and release the trunk door on its own while unattended.
The contact owns a 2013 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump in the road and the steering wheel became unstable. The vehicle was driven to the local service center who diagnosed that the rear driver-??s side lower control arm on the front suspension mount had separated from the unibody frame due to corrosion. The contact was informed that the entire unibody frame needed to be replaced to repair the control arm. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 158,000.
Continuous problem with rear hatch not opening when cold outside; I live in mich. Thus have cold winters; no problem when warm. Problem started in 2017. I pd to have it replaced 12/28/17; fail again 12/10/18 dealer replaced as under warranty; failed again 12/10/19 out of warranty(frm 12/28/17)- so Honda won't fix. In reviewing internet the latch problem is an issue with many other consumers when cold O/S. filed a complaint with Honda - then pandemic hit--just now reopening complaint- case#10291529- & as this appears to have been a constant complaint frm many others; Honda has issued a service bulletin 16-063 to address the problem and supposedly have a redesigned latch. But it only cover vehicles under warranty. Thus I will have to pay to get the new improved part, when the original and replacement part were1 bad in the past.. not being able to get into the rear/truck of your car is a safely hazard in the winter-rear truck is where you keep the spare tire, emerg. Supplies, etc. (& store items /groceries, luggage, etc )
Honda paint is stripping right off the body. Honda paint is fading and losing metallic finish. Honda paint has other recalls but not my make and model.
Drivers door lock makes a loud, grinding sound when the door is locked. Unable to lock the vehicle. Door lock actuator replaced, lasted one day, problem came back. Rear left door lock does not open or close using the remote. It must be manually opened or closed.
Driver's door lock makes a loud rattle upon locking, sounds like a machine gun. Rear left door can only be manually locked or unlocked, does not work with the remote or will not lock or unlock automatically.
Door locks on 2013 Honda CRV are not working. Sometimes they work soooo well...I can't even unlock the door !!!! and sometimes they don't work at all. In the process of replacing actuators, ,,,have replaced 4 of 5 doors. Each replacement is about $200-$250. I learned through research that recall was in effect for CRV from 2007-2011. Obviously, Honda hasn't solved the problem.
When the weather is cold, my cargo lift will not open. I have taken my vehicle in to the local dealership and they pretty much thought I was crazy. Even my husband can't get the lift to open when the weather is cold.
I got into my car and because the weather was nice, I turned off the air conditioner and lowered the back windows. I entered the interstate highway, and when my speed reached 40 mph, a loud roar came from the back of the car and the back started shaking and vibrating. I was scared and pulled off the road. I thought the suspension or the wheels/tires had failed. I made a visual inspection and could see no problem. A Honda dealer was near, so I slowly drove to their service bay. When I told my problem to a woman at the service desk she immediately told me that it was a compression problem that all of these vehicles had when the back windows were down. I asked if the salespersons were supposed to tell the customer about this problem and she said no.
On 2/10/2014, around 8:50 am est I was alone and driving to the office when my car skidded and I lost control. Due to the momentum the car had gained, it went into a free spin. Though this car is equipped with AWD and ABS, it still could not correct the skid and went out of control. It dashed against a tree on the pathway from the passenger side. This impact resulted in driver side air bags to deploy, however it exploded instead of inflating. This incident has resulted in injuries to my hand, neck and back. Recently I have heard recalls from Honda related to faulty air bags, however did not find any open recalls for my vehicle...updated 02/25/15 updated 9/22/2017
I was involved in an accident in philadelphia, pa on January 18, 2015 due to ice on highways. I slid into one car and got hit by another car. My car is currently in a repair shop. I received a call that the car can be fixed, however I need to know how safe is the car since I received so much damage to the car and the air bags never deployed.
When entering a highway on-ramp in making the turn all doors were suddenly unlocked and the front courtesy lights in the passenger compartment came on. This has now happened about 10 times when cornering.
