This was a honda recall for driver side airbag inflator kit .no charge to me the owner..another honda recall for the passenger airbag inflator kit was done on july 31 2013again no charge to me the owner..spring of 2008 i received a warranty extension for the occupant position detection system extending the warranty for 10 years.or 150000 miles..i have less than 35000 miles on car.my srs lite went on in early feb 2014 so i made an appointment with holman honda.they told me it was out of warranty.

The vehicle has pending airbag recalls (nhtsa recall number: 14v-351 and 14v-349) for the takata-brand air bag inflators since the end of 2014. I have been able to have the passenger side airbags replaced, but, after multiple calls to the dealer, i continue to be told that the driver?s side parts are on national back order. I find this unbelievable, as the reasons for these recalls have been grievous injury and even death to drivers.the honda dealership seems incredibly nonchalant about this issue. The inability to fix these life-threatening safety recalls by both honda and takata should be looked into by the authorities. Thank you.
The srs light came on so i contacted the dealer.they replaced the sensor.i haven't had anymore problems with it, but it was only 4 days ago.i have been reading other problems with the srs light and i am concerned that this is gonna be an ongoing problem.i am worried that the air bags won't deploy if i am in an accident.as for the brakes. I keep hearing a popping noise every time i back out of a parking space or the driveway.i have not contacted the dealer, but after reading other complaints, i am going to do this.i have always been a dedicated honda lover and i am disappointed to hear about all that is wrong with the vehicle i have purchased with my hard earned money.dt

I was traveling on 91 north, exit 14 in west springfield, ma on the road that lead to the mass turnpike. There was heavy traffic due to impending snowstorm the next day and thanksgiving. A car in the lane next to me slowed and put his right directional on. I slowed to allow him into my lane. He then changed his mind, canceled his directional and proceeded on toward rt. 5. For an instant, i glanced down at my lap and when i looked up the row of cars in front of me came to a complete stop and i crashed into the car in front of me. The passenger air bag was deployed but not the driver's bag. I had no passengers in my car.

My daughter was driving my 2002 honda crv ex and lost control and rolled the car.it ended up lying on the drivers side and hit a guard rail which finally stopped it from sliding on it side along the freeway. The insurance company was sure that they will total the car. The ex model not only had front air bags but also side air bags.not a one of these went off.the drivers side of the car was very smashed and the drivers side window was broken out along with the windshield.her arm had glass clear down to the bone along with a 7 inch cut that is stitched in 3 levels.for as much trauma as the car took i feel it held together pretty good (top did not crush in except a little in the back ) and that she is lucky to be alive. I feel that at least though the front airbags and drivers side one should have gone off.airbags are not like a smoke detector that you can test, you rely on that they will work when you need them.
The srs light on my instrument panel recently activated which i figured was a result of the recent air bag recall and would be rectified when the dealer replaced the air bag parts as part of the recall.unfortunately, after having both passenger and driver air bag recall work completed on 6/30/15, the srs light remains lit.cost of repair was estimated by dealer at $850 and apparently not covered by honda as part of the recall(!) even though i was told the srs system controls both the air bag and seat belt tensioning systems. Not sure how these units would wear out other than by internal failure since the air bags fortunately haven't ever been deployed- sure seems like it should be a no brainer recall item given the potential life safety danger the failure of this system poses.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.the contact stated that the air conditioning unit dispenses hot air.the dealer stated that the clutch on the air conditioning was burned.the contact also stated that the driver's seat is wobbly and not attached tightly and the air bag light automatically illuminates when it is bumped against.the dealer stated that a switch may be needed.the contact stated that when she removes the key from the ignition, the vehicle continues to move.she stated that none of the failures have been repaired by the dealer.the current and failure mileages were 71,825.
Dt the air bags sensor is not working properly, the srs light stays on.contacted honda, and they will not warranty it. Consumer hadto pay for the labor and rent a car, this started happening july 14th, 2005.

Honda issued a recall in 2014 but contact me only in january 2015 that the driver side air bag when deployed would propel parts and harm driver or passenger.went into dealer ( airport marina honda in los angeles )to have recall part replaced but they do not have parts.dealer said part is on backorder.contacted honda usa, the manufacturer and they tried to locate parts in their own inventory and other dealers in the area within 10 miles, to no avail.why is the company issuing recall and not prepared to handle the need. God forbid if ever i or anyone in my family get into an accident, it could be fatal.this is a safety issue and honda usa acts as if this is not urgent.
What has happened is that a safety recall has been ordered for my car's passenger side airbag and safercar has not posted it here!
My car was totaled but none of the airbags deployed. With such a huge damage which happened on a highway at high speed with two flips and hit a tree before it came to an upside down stationary position, the air bags should have deployed as a safety feature but none of them did. The photos of the wrecked car were attached.
Difficulty obtaining appointment to replace driver's side air bag per safety recall notice.the honda dealerships in my area are telling me the driver's side air bag is back ordered. I had an appointment to have this part replaced on march 2, 2015, however the day before my appointment the dealership phone to cancel and told me the part would be in the first week of april. No follow up phone call occurred, so i contacted the dealership today and was told the part will not be available until june. This may be true, however i want to verify this is, in fact, the case.
Had the recalls done and now the srs light will not go out. Have tried the reset and hooked up my code reader - code reader has no indication of a problem. Reset did not work. Concerned about safety and also do not want to take it to a dealer for a $100+ diagnostic if it is honda's fault. Seems a lot of owners are having this problem. Car starts and runs fine but the srs light remains on. Is there a warrentee with the safety systems.
While traveling on the highway, the right front tire blewout, causing the driver to lose control of her vehicle.the vehicle went into the median and became airborne (rolling over several times) about 4-5 more times on the ground, hit a semi-truck traveling on the opposite side of the road, finally coming to a rest.also, with the force of the impact on the sides of the vehicle, particularly the driver side, it would seem to be strong enough to activate the side airbags, yet the saftey feature did not perform, bridgestone dueler h/t. *scc
"takata inflators"airbag light symbol keeps coming on in dashboard while in motion
On monday july 26th 2004 a man drove through a red light as i was driving through my green light at about 30mph. I slammed on my brakes in my 2002 honda cr-v when i seen him run the light, i end up smashing into him, he was driving a silverado truck, much larger than my cr-v. My truck spun slightly and when i looked up not one airbag had deployed in my vehicle, i know that i had side, driverside, and passenger side airbags, that is why i bought the cr-v. I would find out later that the sensor was definatly hit. I took pictures. My insurance agencie decided not to total my vehicle, they are going to fix it. How am i to know they looked into the airbag issue at all? i have told them and they still did not list it on the repair listing. I don't want to take the vehicle back because i may not be as lucky next time if the airbags do not work properly.
I had been driving for approximately 30 minutes.as i drove along i-575 - a 4-lane highway - i noticed a kind of power surge from my engine.my speedometer registered 80 mph!i applied the brakes but was unable to slow the car more than 20-30 mph, and then it started to creep back up.i exited at that point, knowing i needed help.i was still going much too fast.i looked for a service station and not only was there none, within seconds i was faced with a red light with 4 lanes ofcross traffic (george busby parkway) - i couldn't stop the car!so i took it off the road in a controlled crash, going over the curb, 6 or so feet of grass, a huge hedge, and crashed into a very tall, mature crape myrtle.thank god the car finally stopped.i was fortunate the crape myrtle consisted of multiple trunks rather than being an oak or similar.the crape myrtle managed to dissipate the impact of my car and i only sustained a broken wrist.the air bag did not deploy.my insurance company is charging me with driving out of control!!!!
I was contacted by my local honda dealership notifying me of a recall on both my drivers and passengers side airbags.the honda dealership said that they had the airbags on order and would contact me when they were in.i have been contacted by honda a couple of times since them, only to hear that they do not have the parts yet.i received a letter today, july 17, 2015 from the automobile division of honda stating once again that my car's airbags are being recalled.i was pointed to this page due to the fact that it has been over 6 months since i was first contacted by my local dealership and they have yet to be able to deliver the service of servicing my airbags!

My 35 year old daughter was in a single auto accident in her 2002 honda crv on jan. 6 in wytheville, va returning from knoxville, tn to frederick, md. She blacked out and her car ran off the road, impacted a mile marker sign, struck an embankment and her car overturned four times. Her car was totaled but neither the front, nor side airbags deployed. The airbags were checked as part of the airbag inflator recall on july 27, 2011 at a honda dealer in knoxville, tn. She miraculously survived the accident but had a concussion and a severe laceration to her left ear. She was unconscious when the rescue team arrived and was airlifted to roanoke for medical care. Since the accident she has been suffering from post concussive syndrome (constant headaches, memory loss, insomnia, difficulty concentrating).according to a trucker who saw the accident she never hit her brakes and was traveling at 70 mph.she never received any notice from honda and was only made aware of the recall when taking her car in for other maintenance.while her injuries were not fatal, nor did she have any broken bones, she did suffer a concussion and has had headaches for three months.perhaps she would not have suffered the head injury had her airbags functioned properly.we have pictures of her car which can be provided.

Purchased the car in 2002.starting in 2005, the seat belt wouldn't engage into the buckle.had to force and force the buckle in for the buckle to lock in the insert.recently, the srs light came on.honda tells me that the seat belt must be replaced because the air bags may not deploy upon impact but there is no warranty.an independent mechanic tells me that the seat belt may in fact be warranted, but honda made no mention of that.
No accident occurred. Notified via dealership inspection that front airbag sensors faulty. Approximate cost of replacement $800.00. Possible failure of airbags deploying upon impact.feel since this is a required safety feature that manufacturer should be responsible for replacement.

Takata recalli received a recall notice x5c for my 2002 honda cr-v but honda has stated in 2 different phone calls that they do not have the resources to fix my car at this time. During both phone calls, the honda representatives told me not to have anyone ride in the passenger front seat.the nhtsa website lists the 2002 cr-v as one of the cars that should not be driven except to the dealer for repair.my dealer, mendenhall auto in juneau, ak, has advised me that my cr-v is part of phase 5 and that honda will not authorize repair of my vehicle at this time.based on the information from nhtsa and honda, my car is not safe to drive but neither honda nor the authorized dealer is willing to repair it.mendenhall auto stated it will probably be next summer before repair will be authorized.honda refused to give me a timeline estimate for repair, just repeatedly stating they would call me when more information is available.

"takata recall" my honda-crv was hit behind by a young lady in november 2016. She admitted her fault and her insurance company paid for the repair to the garage.the rear bumper was severely dented and it created some other mechanical problems and the garage owner fixed them.i do not haveknowledge about it. Emphatically, i should say: # 1. When this accident took place the air-bag did notdeploy. It is a big question ?# 2. The garage owner, during the repair days askedme to take the vehicle to another garage who did the 'wheel alignments." one of thepersons there told me " the excel is not good/defectiveand need to be fixed or replaced... Something like that as far as i can remember." i said that i can not afford to do that now and i brought the vehicle back.i told about it to my garage owner. He inspected it and said " can not see such a thing, but will see later." since then, i use the car with suspicious and scare to drive far away places. Never drive on free-ways. # 3. I got a dash board warning in september this year. The garage owner said that engine oil need to be changed and i did so on 09.26.2017. But still the light is on ? i think it says " maintenance required." why is the light is on even after oil change is done ? i do not drive the vehicle everyday as i can not afford gas money. We are state beneficiaries and the state has categorized us as low income family. Myself and three family members most of the time travel by bus. Therefore, i can not afford to pay for repairs and kindly help me to fix these issues at an early date. Thank you.
Air bag light came on and when i ran my "vin" number on your website, i found out there was a recall for this. Next i took my cr-v into norm reeves honda in irvine, ca. On 12/9/2019 for my 10:30 am appointment. After the passenger side airbag iinflator recall problem was resolved, i picked my cr-v up and went home. My cr-v had (115,230) miles on it at that point. My next air bag problem occurred on 8/18/2020 when my cr-v had (116,359) miles on it. Now i had the "side air bag off" light come on. It would come on and then go away and then come back on again eventually. At that point, i called up norm reeves honda in irvine again to schedule an appointment to have this checked out. On 8/25/2020 at (116,418) miles, i dropped off my cr-v for my 10:30 am appointment. I had an inkling that this new air bag light coming on might have had something to do with the original air bag recall that was taken care of. After the car had been checked out, i was told that all the "dtc's" were pulled and that the "side air bag off light" had nothing to do with the original air bag recall they took care of. On my way home, i noticed a new light had come on now, the (srs) light. It was then that i immediately turned around and went back to norm reeves to inform them of this.the service advisor told me that they had nothing to do with this light coming on and that sooner or later it would have come on, somewhere down the road in the future. I questioned this and frankly had a difficult time believing this! that "srs" light had never come on before since i've owned the car. Now that light is always on 100% of the time. The service advisor told me it's a computer related issue that's causing the problem and quoted me a price of approx. $1200 to get it repaired. I said to him, "are you serious?" and shook my head in disgust as i walked away. I think they pulled one over on me. Do you agree?

Nar 05/06/2003 mr the consumer was involved in an accident where severe damages occurred to the vehicle, the frame was bent, radiator was defective, and the air bags did not deploy.
I had the honda airbag recall done on 8/3/2015. While driving the car on 8/6/2015, the srs system off indicator light came on and then went off. This light was not a problem before the recall was done but now has us wondering what is the status of our restraint system.
While driving at 40-mph was involved in a front collision and neither of the air bags deployed, no air bag warning light appeared prior to the crash. Driver was wearing the seat belt.
Srs light on dash, diagnosed by dealer as srs control failure, $700 to replace. There was a service bulletinregarding a different part of the system, checked out ok, but seems like quite a coincidence that the bulletin and the failure were so close in time. It's hard to accept that a part costing so much and so critical to safety "just goes bad" for so many of us - complaints are circulating out in the internet and on the nhtsa site dating back to 1 -2 years. Mere mortals cannot tell what or whether there is actually anything wrong, only those who have the computer (those who stand to profit a lot) can know. It's the fox guarding the henhouse. Happily i haven't needed the airbags and seatbelt tightener, but this could happen any time. Is nhtsa sure there isn't a systemic problem here, that honda should be attending to?

I responded to a recall notice for the airbag inflator. I had noticed, immediately thereafter, that my horn and cruise control is inoperable. I contacted service advisor who asked to bring the car back in. She agreed that the mechanism for these inoperable parts is in "close proximity to the air bag inspection areas", for the recall. However, they claim they "... Are not liable for the cable reel" and will charge to have it fixed. And just yesterday, in the process of getting my window fixed, the same dealership left out the moisture shield and disabled my door locks which are superficial issues that they somewhat resolved. However, i still do not have a working horn or cruise control because these were consequentially damaged after innocently responding to an airbag recall inspection.

While driving about 45 mph on the highway another vehicle"t-boned";vehicleboth frontal air bags didn't deploy. Thepassenger was injured transported to the hospital.please fill in additional informationdealer is aware of the problem.
On two occasions the vehicle's air bag failed to deploy.once while driving between 40/45 mphthe vehicle skidded on a block of ice. As a result, the driver lost control ofvehicle and it rolled over several times coming to rest in a ditch.none of the air bags deployed.the consumer sustained a broken neck, loss of front teeth and a concussion.the vehicle was totaled.the second failure occurred when the driver over corrected the steering wheel and lost control of the vehicle.the vehicle flipped and rolled landing on it's roof.none of the air bags deployed.the consumer suffered another broken neck, major facial injuries, bruises and swelling.the vehicle was totaled.
The srs light came on in my 2002 honda crv which has only 35000 miles.i took it to the dealer who informed me that the srs must have went bad and it would cost $700 to fix.i asked if the light on could be caused by the frontpassenger seat belt locking up regularly which temporarily does not allow you to get enough seat belt to actually reach the buckle and the dealer said that might be the problem but i still would need to replace the whole srs system.i asked if this was a recall and he said not at this time.i now have checked the recalls and see that the seat belts as well as the air bags have been recalled and i have not been notified of eitherby the dealer and i would think this would be immediately corrected especially since the srs light came on which is directly related to both of these safety devices.
The driver airbag failed to deploy in my 2002 honda crv when my front end crashed into the side of a pick up truck that pulled out in front of me on the highway.i was going 45 before impact so after breaking, estimate 35-40 mph when i hit.my passenger airbag deployed. Again, my driver airbag did not deploy. Impact was hard enough to total the car. I fractured my sternum, a moderately serious injury that 2 doctors told me doesn't happen anymore due to airbags. My srs light came on 6 months ago. Knowing that was a safety warning we immediately took the car to a honda dealer. The diagnostics revealed a defective driver seat belt buckle, which they replaced.they then cleared the srs light and it has not come back on.i specifically asked about the airbag and they said those are fine.i've been to 3 law firms. They all said it appears that the dealer performed as the diagnostics dictated and that i just wasn't injured enough to take on honda.it would cost a firm roughly $100k over 2 years to file a lawsuit and "only" a fractured sternum and 4-6 weeks off work wouldn't pay out enough to cover attorneys fees.they all said a person needs to be paralyzed or dead to be worth tackling a big corporation.i called honda.they said sometimes only 1 airbag goes off depending on how the car is hit and while they care, they don't do investigations.i requested an airbag investigation from my insurance company.they noted that request as part of the subrogation process. From my perspective, if fractured sternum are an injury of the past because airbags prevent that injury, and the force of the impact was great enough to fracture my sternum, then the force of the full frontal impact was enough to trigger both airbags. It's fortunate i was only going 35-40 and not highway speeds or my husband would be able to file a lawsuit.how many other people are driving around thinking they are protected?i loved my crv . I'd like to get another, but i'm afraid.
Good afternoon,my name is [xxx] and i am submitting a complaint regarding the honda crv (year 2002).on 6/25/2004, i was rear ended while waiting on a metered freeway entrance ramp in milwaukee, wi.the other driver did not know that the ramp was metered and rear ended my vehicle between 40 - 50 mph; my car was then pushed into the vehicle in front of me.although it was a high speed collision on the front and rear, the airbag on my 2002 honda crv did not inflate.i hit my head on the steering wheel and had facial bruising and a large gash on my forehead requiring approximately 20 stitches.my car is totaled; the hood is crushed and the rear end was pushed in approximately 3 feet.i bought my crv new in 2002, partially on the assumption that it was a safe vehicle that would protect me in the event of a car accident.on friday, i called the dealership where my car is serviced (russ darrow honda in milwaukee, wi) to make certain that i had not missed any recalls, and they confirmed that my car was current with all recalls (there have been no airbag specific recalls for my year).if my airbag had inflated, i most likely would have walked away from the scene without any lasting reminders.many consumers consider a vehicle safety rating and airbag quality when choosing a new vehicle.since you cannot test airbags except in a lab environment or accident situation, consumers must rely on the trustworthiness of the manufacturer and hope that they work when required.i'd like to understand why my airbag did not inflate and i think it would be helpful for other consumers to also be aware of this situation... I see many other honda crvs on the road.i can be reached at [xxx] or via email at [xxx].thank you for your time.[xxx][xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I stopped the car and we all jumped out of the car thinking it might catch on fire! the smoke eventually subsided, although a terrible, toxic-like smell remained. We feel fortunate that at least that i was only backing our car out of the garage when the switch started smoking. If i had been driving on they freeway, i could have crashed.for a couple of weeks before this incident, the mws hadn't been working correctly: the front right passenger window could be unrolled from the mws but would not always roll back up from the driver's side switch. This had happened before and i had to pay to get a new mws installed on 3/4/2010.i am aware that there was a recall for this part and that our vin number wasn't included, however it obviously should have been! i was told by a service advisor at honda of escondido that if the mws gets wet, the moisture can cause the part to short out, overheat, and the grease gets really hot and smokes, smelling terribly. Our switch did get wet from rain both times before the switch malfunctioned because the switch is in a car door, and when it rains, it's going to get wet!both the original mws that came with the car was faulty and the mws that i paid to replace it in 2010 was faulty as well. I do not feel safe with the new mws i've just had to buy to get installed again, because i fear the same thing will happen again. This part should obviously not be used in cars as it is potentially dangerous. The part should be recalled and replaced with a mws that will withstand moisture from rain and/or snow without malfunctioning.
The a/c compressor has failed twice. The first time at 106101 miles in 2008 and the second time at 135567 miles on may 3, 2012. So it lasted just 29466 miles. This is unacceptable and upsetting. The new one is already starting to act up but at least it's under warranty since it has only been 3 weeks since it was installed. Honda needs to redesign the compressor so people can at least get a reliable replacement part. Honda should lose their reputation for building quality cars and i will never buy another one because of this.
The driver's side door actuator failed. I have to open the driver's door with a key and the remote doesn't work on the driver's side. The other doors lock with the remote but only after the driver's side door is locked by key. This has also affected the interior lights which don't light when the door is open.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, a grayish-white smoke began to emit from underneath the engine without warning.

The independent mechanic discovered that the serpentine belt had snapped in half which the mechanic linked to his defective air conditioner compressor. The contact initially emailed honda customer service about the defect and a representative called him back to inform him that a letter in regards to the failure would be sent to him. The contact had yet to receive the letter. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,137. *ln*dt consumer stated ac was repaired by the previous owner in 2007 with 56k miles. Not even a year later a class action lawsuit was filed.
2002 honda cr-v --- fire hazard in honda cr-v --- low beam headlights stop functioning... High beams and turn signals remain functional... Cause was found to be melted wires and burned / partially melted connector to switch in steering column... 1.5 years earlier the switch had to be replaced for same symptoms... Honda has issued recalls on other models with same type of lights but not on the honda cr-v... Small electrical fire must have occurred to cause the melting and black marks on the connector...
While driving my low beam head lights went out and i could smell something burning i immediately pulled off on the shoulder of the highway at 1:30 am. The burning smell was coming from around my steering column.i checked my high beam head lights and they worked so that is how i got home.my husband got on line and checked for any recalls and found non just complaints about other people having the same issue.my husband checked where the burnt smell was coming from and foundthe issue and called the dealer ship and they said that we had to pay for it and gave us a crazy amount to fix it.my husband as handy as he is did a temporary fix on it.i hope honda fixes this issue before someone gets killed or hurt.

2002 honda crv:i was making a turn from a stop light, into the freeway on ramp, and i heard a loud gear dragging sound from the engine compartment.i lost power steering and the car and it was pulling to the right.i immediately attempted to pull over just as i was ascending on to the on ramp, however the engine stalled and smoke was visible coming from the engine bay before i could safely pull over to the shoulder.i had to put the gear on neutral and push the car to the shoulder.it was nerve racking with my wife and two kids in the car.i noticed that fluid was leaking underneath the car.i inspected all the fluid levels and realized that it was from an air conditioner compressor failure, which caused the accessory belt to drag and stall the engine.the vehicle restarted but ac was not functional.
On june 25, 2012, started engine and lowered driver-side power window.noticed smoke rising from the driver-side power window switch.contacted local honda dealership within 20 minutes.did *not* receive a recall notice (nhtsa campaign number: 12v-486) from honda motors (honda campaign recall number: s61) since the vehicle was manufactured in december 2001 (i.e., vehicle was manufactured before the february 19, 2002, through july 28, 2006 recall dates).
Replaced my ac compressor for the second time in less then two years.
All interior gauges flicker and stop working (i.e., fuel, speedometer, odometer, engine temperature, dash lights) and some warning lights flicker (parking brake, maintenance required). It is now happening daily and lasts longer and longer.car also makes a scary "ticking" sound.honda dealer stated that instrument cluster has gone bad (shorted out?)

The connector to my headlight dimmer switch over heats, melts and causes my low beam headlights to not turn on.high beams still work.switch is damaged as a results.this is the second occurrence in the last 6 months.it is a safety issue.
Upon exiting parking garage, needed to lower front lh window with power window switch in order to swipe gate key pad. Upon pushing the front drivers switch to lower front lh window a very strong smell (like something burning) was immediately noticed. Window did lower, occupant was able to access keypad, passed thru gate and then proceeded to raise drivers window. Pulled over to the side, raised engine hood to inspect if a fluid leak was visible and none noticed. Proceeded to drive home and instructed my husband that i had a bad smell/odor emitting in the cabin. We next found that the front rh passenger window was not operative. After extensive internet searches, we pulled the front drivers side switch, popped the door bezel first, then took the 3 screws that holds switch to bezel. My wife walked up while i was disassembling and she said "that's it, that's the smell" !!!!!!!!!! i then proceeded to take off the window lock button and then the 3 screws holding back plate onto switch, and further disassembled. Once i had the control board in hand i immediately noticed the "melting" of the drivers side window switch. It appears the front lh and front rh electronic mechanisms arced and melted. I have photos if interested. I ordered a new switch from honda dealer at a cost of $200. I also contacted honda customer relations and they recorded my complaint but would not help us in terms of compensating us (full or partial) for new switch. This vehicle was not part of the recall 2002-2006 for melting door switches, maybe it should of been. I would ask nhtsa to re-evaluate the initial recall and widen the scope of vehicles affected. Clearly our situation shows that there are vehicles outside of the recall that are suspect. The risk of fire of a component that has been clearly described as "high risk" is not acceptable, to me, my family or others that own similar vehicles.
I wasoperating the vehicle as normal. Parked in a parking spot waiting for my partner with the vehicle turned off. While leaving i turned the vehicle on and when i went to roll down the right rear window using the drivers pwms the window would not move and the switch began to smoke. I cut the power and removed the fuses for the power window circuit to prevent further damage.did not take any photos of the smoke.there is a recall for the pwms catching fire in 2002-2006 honda cr-vs, when i contacted the local dealership about the problem they refused warranty service.
I had parked my car outside grocery store and went shopping. When came back i can smell something burning. By looking around, i found smoke coming out from power window switch panel on driver side. I haven't even inserted my keys. After that i lost the ability to turn up down passenger side window. Searching online shows 2002cr-v had the recall for same problem but my car wasn't included. Contacting honda and dealer says my car doesn't carry the faulty part but yet same thing happened to my car. I am scared if it's parked in garage and fire may start. Vehicle was not moving and no keys were in ignition. It was a scary situation.
Door lock does not work with the remote or manual key. Door locks sporadically move up and down with out touching door lock switches. I spent $300.00 on genuine honda parts and had my mechanic install a newactuator and lock mechanism, and the problem is exactly the same.i want to take the car tohonda andask for a total reimbursement and a final repair. I am surprised there has not been a recall on this particular problem because of the number of complaints about the key locks on these models. A local television station ( with a problem solving segment recently covered this problem.) can you please help me in any way? thank you [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

We bought this car in march, 2013. Now in 2014, we noticed the ac wasn't working we attempted to recharge it with freon, but i was told the compressor needed to be replaced. The compressor was replace, the condenser, lines, ex valve, even a sensor. Pretty much all the ac system has been replace. Now we have noticed that once the compressor is on. It causes the engine to stall while driving or making turns. It feels as if the compressor will cause the engine to turn off. As if not bad enough once the car is on park with ac on the compressor will shut-off and the ac will start blowing a humid-smelly air. Once it does this, the compressor's emergency valve will open and flush some freon. It is a very serious safety hazard. I don't feel safe driving the car with my family in it. Specially now that i've read about all the other recalls and complains. Doing my research now (which is too late), i found that honda was sued due to this issue. Ac compressor malfunction is to be found in 02-04 honda crvs. Our crv has been back at the mechanic 3 times the last month, and yet the issue cant be resolve. The mechanic says it has to do with the way the system was design. Alternator and compressor share the same band. I'm afraid and concerned that at somepoint both things will give-out while driving.
Multiple problems with low beam headlights going out - high beams continued to work in all instances.first incident 11/19/2007 replaced part of wiring harness due to the wiring harness had melted.9/20/2010 low beams went out again - replaced the headlight switch.3/7/11 low beams out again - replaced the headlamp switch.6/2/11 low beams out again - replaced the multiplex control module.12/2/11 low beams out again - in shop disconnected and connected wiring - low beams working.12/24/11 low beams went out.12/25/11 low beams came back on by themselves.1/4/2012 low beams out again - in shop checked connections.picked up car low beams working.1/5/2012 - low beams out again.approximately 3 other visits to a mechanic - connections unplugged and replugged to get low beams working again.also at least 5 other instances where the low beams went out and came back on before i could get the cr-v to a mechanic. 9/2011 motor trends magazine reports issue of low beams headlights going out on honda cr-v models 2002 - 2005.i have spent over $1000 trying to get this issue resolved.issue with wiring harness melting sounds very much like the recall that honda issued for the fit - 'wiring harnesses for the headlamp control switch - the connector could overheat and fail, rendering the low-beam lamps inoperable. Honda notes that high-beam headlamp functionality is not impeded by this issue.'
The low beams stopped working while driving and the plastic wire harness connector that plugs into the headlight switch started smokingand burned up.the headlight switch i can get through honda but i can't find the plastic wiring harness connector.it is not safe when your low beams both go out when driving cause the wire for the low beams burns up in the connector for no reason.

Smoke started arising from the steering column while driving on a city street during the daytime. Driver was not using lights at the time and was using normal occasional turn signals for a urban metropolitan area. The turn signal was evaluated and showed melting of the turn signal switch and the terminal harness. This is similar to what is described in nhtsa 12v-136 or 12v-486. Honda america and honda dealerships said the 2002 honda cr-v was not included, because vin was not included in the recall. However, the model and year of the car were included and having the same problems described as previously mentioned recalls.
Low beam on passenger side headlight browned out to almost no light. It has taken several light bulbs over past few years. Upon my inspection, found harness plug for light bulb was charred and damaged.

The drivers side power window control is shorting out.the front passenger window would not go up all the way about a week ago it was manually fixed by my husband but the controller on driver's side was shorting out.there was a recall on certain crv's but we never got one and now our car is acting up just like the recall.when i called both the local honda dealership that we got the vehicle from and called directly to honda i was told that my vehicle didn't qualify since it was not recalled. I feel that since my car is doing what the recall said, it should be part of the recall repair since this is now a safety issue.could you please let me know how best to handle my car situation.i have been a loyal honda owner for years and really love my crv.i plan onstickingwith honda because we have always been very satisfied.look forward to hearing back from someone on this matter.
I own a honda crv 2002 ex with automatic transmission and ~12,000 miles.my wife drives the car and it has stalled twice while slowing down to turn in our drive way, the exact spot.it's hard to start afterwards. She does start to undo the seat belt right before the car dies.this is not reproducible.this is dangerous and could cause a fatal accident.
Detected a burning smell, similar to an electrical smell like something melted. I did have the headlights on, but it was bright enough in the morning that i couldn't tell that they had failed.i stopped immediately and looked around the cabin, etc. For smoke. I didn't see anything, but i turned around and drove directly to the dealer.the dealer did diagnostic tests, etc and couldn't figure out the source of the burning smell other than it wasn't coming from the vents. I guess he didn't check the headlights. I am not pleased.after leaving the dealer during the daylight hours, i later detected on the evening of friday, oct 28, that the headlights were not working. I recently within two weeks ago had replaced one of the front headlight bulbs that had burnt out, so i figured that couldn't be the problem.i eventually checked the fuses and they looked fine. I swapped them out for replacement fuses, but it didn't make a difference.i went online and saw from online discussions that there is a headlight switch issue that the nhtsa is investigating at this time. The issue with my 2002 honda crv and it's low beam headlights surely seems to be part of the problem that's being investigated. I plan to contact the dealer on monday morning (oct 31) to get my issue looked at, again. But, it won't be during the nighttime hours or when it's precipitating, since it's illegal to drive without my low beams on during those times. Updated 11/17/11 according to the service invoice, the headlight switch had an electrical failure. Updated 11/30/11
I was wondering my 2002 honda crv isn't up for a recall for the power master window switch like the other 2002 honda crvs? while i was driving i smelled something burning and it was coming from the window switch and after looking up the recalls i found out my car could set on fire without it even being on! but when i type in my vin that specific recall doesn't come up but yet it is the same malfunction and it is obviously dangerous and i have been driving without being able to roll down any windows for going on nearly four years now it is ridiculous.i had to unplug the window switch harness for fear of fire and my life

2002 honda cr-v.consumer writes in regards to vehicleelectrical problems .the consumer stated she would always put the keys in the seat, while at the gas station. The vehicle locked automatically if they keys were in the vehicle, but not in the ignition. The consumer stated she was locked out several times, just by laying the keys down.there was no signal or alert that the headlights were on, as she accidentally left them on. Also, the interior light would never come on, when she opened the door, the headlights were replaced, the seat belt would not retract. The air bag light illuminated. The consumer received a recall notice, regarding the issue. The dealer informed the consumer, she would have to pay $100 diagnosis fee, to determine, why the light was still on.
While driving, i felt excessive smoke and heat coming from the power window master switch. I immediately took it to a mechanic and he told me that for some reason excessive heat was generated in the switch and this could have potentially melted the switch or could have caused a fire.i discovered honda crv year 2002-2006 have a "nhtsa campaign number: 12v486 , honda's campaign id: s61" for recall on power window master switch. But my specific vin number isn't covered under it. I contacted honda "product concerns" department as i experienced exactly the same what the nhtsa campaign number: 12v486000 is covering. I wanted honda to acknowledge my issue and initiate an engineering analysis for my vin# and provide me with their findings. But they told me they can register my complaint (#n012015-03-1601127) but they won't do anything as mine isn't identified in affected vehicles under campaign id 12v468. The regional manager of product concerns also told me that they don't know if any past work was done on my vehicle that caused this. I am the owner of this vehicle since march 2008 and did not get any work done on master switch and it worked fine until saturday, march 1, 2016. Not only this, my complaint asks for an engineering analysis, a proper technical diagnosis to identify what if there is another batch manufactured at a different plant/vendor/country that is also potentially at risk as what campaign 12v486 was. We won't know until honda does the diagnosis but as of now, they seem to be least bothered. In texas,you cant live without windows when a/c isn't working. This vehicle is almost useless without windows.please initiate an engineering analysis with honda and have them look into it as my experience was exactly the same listed in campaign 12v486. Smoke, excessive heat, risk of potential melt/fire. Need your help to enforce quality and safety of vehicle owners.
On may 5, 2012, the window control panel on the driver side of my 2002 crv sparked in flame and emitted smoke and fume that smelled like burnt plastic and toxic chemicals.i had to pull over on the freeway because the fume stunk up the interior of the car.my husband and daughter in the back passenger seats were terrified by the incident.i observed the flame burnt the plastic of the control panel and i was unable to use the automatic buttons to open/close the windows.i believe this is the second time my crv experienced this problem with the window control panel.

On 8/1/2011, while driving our 2002 honda crv, i noticed a strange smell. When darkness fell, i realized that the low beams on my vehicle were not working, through the high beams and every other light on the vehicle worked. This has happened twice before - once in november of 2009, and once in march of 2010. When it happened previously, i first checked the bulbs and fuses. They were all fine. I then researched the issue on the internet, and looked into a wiring harness behind the steering wheel. I found a wiring harness that contained some corrosion between connectors that had melted somewhat. I scraped off the corrosion and applied some dielectric to inhibit future corrosion, and the lights came back on. I spoke with the service attendants at my local honda dealership (with pictures that i took of the offending harness), and after checking their computers, they told me that there was nothing on record regarding the issue. I have not yet made the (obviously temporary) repair for the most recent occurrence of this issue. I'm thinking that i may take it to the dealership service to see if they can come up with a more permanent solution.....updated 01/17/12

Drivers side seat belt will not always click into lock. Drivers side seat is very loose. Malfunction light will not turn off.
I just discovered that this vehicle had a recall for the master switch. I deliver mail with this vehicle. As i was driving from one mailbox to another the smell of something melting was overwhelming. The window on the passenger side was not rolling up anymore and i then realized something had gone wrong. As i never owned this vehicle during this recall i never received a notice. I ended up discovering what was wrong myself and replacing the switch. This vehicle no longer had a warranty.
Driver's window works, but passenger and back seat windows wont work. I'm seeing many other people with hondas have the same problem! also, the windshield washer won't work.
Both low beam headlights just quit working - i checked the bulbs and they were in working order.there was a burning rubber type smell leading up to the headlights not working.the high beam lights do work.

My wife and i own an 02 honda cr-v that has headlight failure problems. I have researched online and found that there is an issue noted at different forums concerning the steering column electrical connection at the dimmer/turn signal switch. Our headlights failed during normal use in june of2011. I took my steering column cover off and looked at the electrical connection to the dimmer/turn signal switch and found it to be partially melted. I cleaned the connections and reinstalled the connector. The repair lasted only temporary (2 months) and then the lights failed again. I have determined that the replacement of the wiring connector is the only complete repair, but since i have heard there is an investigation, i wanted to acknowledge that my 02 honda suffers this problem of a faulty wiring connector from the manufacturer at the dimmer/turn signal switch.updated 09/07/11 updated 2/23/12
The passenger side power window switch smoked and stopped working. There was a recall for this and i would like to know if the repair would be covered. The passenger window side is the only one affected.
The srs light came on in my 2002 honda crv which has only 35000 miles.i took it to the dealer who informed me that the srs must have went bad and it would cost $700 to fix.i asked if the light on could be caused by the frontpassenger seat belt locking up regularly which temporarily does not allow you to get enough seat belt to actually reach the buckle and the dealer said that might be the problem but i still would need to replace the whole srs system.i asked if this was a recall and he said not at this time.i now have checked the recalls and see that the seat belts as well as the air bags have been recalled and i have not been notified of eitherby the dealer and i would think this would be immediately corrected especially since the srs light came on which is directly related to both of these safety devices.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the front passenger side window would not operate and failed to close. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the front passenger side power window switch failed and a burning odor was present coming from the switch. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.
2002 honda crv purchased at brickell honda 12/02 in miami, fl.on 3/6/2003, as car was traveling at approximately 50 mph on a busy highway (palmetto expressway) during rush hour, the car turned off, steering locked. Thankfully i was able to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. It was a miracle i didn't get hit by others traveling at even faster speeds. I took the car, same evening to braman honda, the closest dealership, where the following day it was repaired. Supposedly, the computer had not been programmed at the time of purchase. This is unacceptable and irresponsible. I could have died, caused significant damage to myself, the car and many others on the same road that day. *nlm
This is for my honda crv 2002, we have enough trouble for this car from airbag to power windows and now is the ignition key thats losing contact, the car wont start after 5 or 6 times of trying to turn the key to start mode.i searched online and found that this is a known problem for this car. I called honda and they said that they're not aware of this issue. Im writing this email to get somehelp from you to address this issue. I dont know why honda always play this game of not helping out the consumers right away, they always wait until someone gets hurt or die before they act on this kind of issue. This ignition switch is very dangerous, what if my car stall in the middle of the freeway? this is very very dangerous and scary... Thanks for your help
After starting the vehicle consumer heard a squeaking noise coming from the alternator.the dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
I responded to a recall notice for the airbag inflator. I had noticed, immediately thereafter, that my horn and cruise control is inoperable. I contacted service advisor who asked to bring the car back in. She agreed that the mechanism for these inoperable parts is in "close proximity to the air bag inspection areas", for the recall. However, they claim they "... Are not liable for the cable reel" and will charge to have it fixed. And just yesterday, in the process of getting my window fixed, the same dealership left out the moisture shield and disabled my door locks which are superficial issues that they somewhat resolved. However, i still do not have a working horn or cruise control because these were consequentially damaged after innocently responding to an airbag recall inspection.
The horn failed. A safety concern for us. Honda replaced a connector in the steering wheel.
Consumer was able to remove keys from the ignition with the vehicle in the drive gear. As a result, vehicle rolled down a hill while parked.dealership replacedmaster cylinder, but the problem recurred.
Consumer received a recall noticeforignition switch interlockfailure.however,no parts were available.
I had been having some problems with getting my key out of my ignition in my 2002 honda crv. Sometimes it would get stuck and not turn all the way off, i.e., the power would still be on but the engine was off. Recently the key would not come out of the ignition at all. I had to jiggle it and try to force turn it. I took it to my mechanic who had a locksmith work on the "tumblers". This solved the problem for about a week. Even with the work done, it happened again. I took it back to my mechanic and we had to replace the entire ignition lock system. The locksmith installed it and did not charge labor forthe second job. After reading some of the reports about this problem with honda crv's, i am now concerned that the problem may be with the gear shift.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the front driver side door failed to open manually. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the door lock cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred two years after the repair. In addition, the key failed to turn in the ignition and remained stuck. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence where a private mechanic diagnosed that the entire ignition cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000.
The reason for this report is that while driving on the interstate at approximately 55 miles per hour in the right hand lane.my engine just died as if the key was turned off.i coasted over to the shoulder of the interstate.it was very fortunate that i was not in a faster lane of this four lane interstate, as this could have very well caused a major accident.after i was stopped on the shoulder my ignition was still in the on position.i tried to restart my engine and it started so i proceeded on.i took it to my honda dealer and they stated that they had never heard of this happening before.they put it on the computer plus test drove it and said the could not find anything wrong.i am very concerned that this could happen again and possibly being involved in an accident.i checked an automotive website forum and noticed a few other people with this same vehicle had experienced the same problem.their dealers could not find anything wrong, either.has anyone reported this problem to the nhtsa before?dt
Consumer took key out ofignition and walked around to back to other side of vehicle and openeddoor on passenger's side, and vehicle begun to roll back.it rolled out of garage, down the driveway, across the street, and down an embankment, crashing into some trees.this created about 10,000.00 worth of damage tovehicle.
Ignition key on removal from switch is very hot on many occasions
Honda crv allowed the key to be removed from the ignition when it hadn't been placed fully in park, it was in reverse.the car then rolled into the street and was hit by a car with 2 persons.this situation has been reproduced.honda said there was a manufacturer defect on this part.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.the contact stated that the air conditioning unit dispenses hot air.the dealer stated that the clutch on the air conditioning was burned.the contact also stated that the driver's seat is wobbly and not attached tightly and the air bag light automatically illuminates when it is bumped against.the dealer stated that a switch may be needed.the contact stated that when she removes the key from the ignition, the vehicle continues to move.she stated that none of the failures have been repaired by the dealer.the current and failure mileages were 71,825.
Car skips and hesitates when accelerating between 35 & 50 mph.has caused 3 near accidents mainly due to being startled.vehicle is unreliable and unsafe.honda has replaced computer and oxygen sensor without improving the poor performance.honda now takes the official position of "this is a characteristic of this model".i have asked that they take me out of the vehicle and honda has refused.
While driving, engine will start to shake and then when trying to reaccelerate vehicle has difficulty in moving. Contacted dealer who noted that there was something wrong with computer in vehicle.

This is the 3rd recall on my 2002 honda cr-v.the 1st was for the power-train-automatic transmission, the 2nd for electrical system-ignition switch, and now it's for the cr-v a/t shift cable.the whole car seems faulty.what are my rights as a consumer?shouldn't they just give me a new car?*la
Ignition was accidentally to be turned off and the key removed with the automatic transmission still in drive on 2 occasions up to date.*la

Consumer contacted the dealer in regards to recall number 02v251000. Consumer is not sure if the recall work has been preformed on vehicle. Requesting someone from this agency to reconfirm that. Please provide further information. Ts
2002 honda cr-v.consumer states his vehicle rolled backwards after taking the key out of the ignition, because he did not properly shift it into park. He was not notified of a recall and on hondas website the status of his vehicle was that this issue was repaired and it was not.
The parts to peform ignition switch recall 02v120000 repairs have not been available to the dealership for 3 months.
I have a 2002 honda crv. On numerous occasions i have accidentally attempted to remove the key from the ignition with out the transmission being in park and have been successful. Not every time. I don't know the exact dates. Honda had a safety recallfor an interlock. I took the vehicle inand they advised interlock working at this time. After that on at least two occasions i removed the key without having in park. I returned to dealer again and again while at the dealer it did not fail. The dealer said they could not fix until failed while in their possession. I called honda customer service and they asked me to take it back to the dealer again. I asked what happened if it didnt fail at the dealer again. They said then they could not do anything. Since this is an intermittent problem, i think honda should take the necessary steps to correct it.

Dealer was unable to hook up wiring harness on tow bar that goes up to the motor home. Consumer feels it's unsafe to drive without tail lights on tow bar. Also, if a vehicle weighs over 1000 pounds, in some states, item that is being towed must have brakes. Brakes were not availble at time of purchase.this vehicle was purchsed with a contract agreement to be able to tow behind a motorhome.the dealer was unable to complete the agreement.consumer was informed by the dealer that the rear lights were not working as required and the braking system was not wired.the wire system is required to activate when the tow vehicle brakes.the manager told consumer that honda would not spend any more time or money on a proper installation.*jg1
Our 2002 honda crv was destroyed by fire.car was in the driveway of a private home. Car was turned off for 5-10 minutes.car started on fire and was destroyed.
Driving at 65 mph, my 2002 honda crv lost total control and uncontrollably jerked to right and left into the oncoming traffic lane and ended up spinning completely around.i had no control over the car whatsoever.the jerking and spinning stopped when the engine stopped.then when starting the car again it would not run in 2nd, 4th or 5th gears.in those gears the car jerked forward (at least it was in a straight direction). I drove in 1st and 3rd gears only.the honda mechanic in kalispell montana where i had the car towed to said that a fuse in the fuse box that had to with the "load" had come loose and therefore caused the malfunction.it could have been a deadly "malfunction."one fuse can cause such an experience must be an engineering flaw.*la
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 60 mph with the low beam headlights activated, the low beam headlights suddenly failed. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the failure could have been caused by the headlight switch. There was an investigation under nhtsa action number: ea11012 (exterior lighting:headlights:high/low beam dimmer switch electrical system:wiring:interior/under dash exterior lighting:headlights:switch) that could possibly have been related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 221,000. Updated 01/04/12
1) after a cold start, the dash gauges swing up and down very rapidly and the dash lights blink on and off very rapidly also. After 5-10 minutes it stops. 2) took the vehicle to a independent honda repair shop and they diagnosed the problem as a bad muitplex control unit. The repair shop called honda tech line, they asked if there was a fire? i guess there have been fires related to this problem. 3) parts have been ordered and the repair cost was $644.
"takata recall" my honda-crv was hit behind by a young lady in november 2016. She admitted her fault and her insurance company paid for the repair to the garage.the rear bumper was severely dented and it created some other mechanical problems and the garage owner fixed them.i do not haveknowledge about it. Emphatically, i should say: # 1. When this accident took place the air-bag did notdeploy. It is a big question ?# 2. The garage owner, during the repair days askedme to take the vehicle to another garage who did the 'wheel alignments." one of thepersons there told me " the excel is not good/defectiveand need to be fixed or replaced... Something like that as far as i can remember." i said that i can not afford to do that now and i brought the vehicle back.i told about it to my garage owner. He inspected it and said " can not see such a thing, but will see later." since then, i use the car with suspicious and scare to drive far away places. Never drive on free-ways. # 3. I got a dash board warning in september this year. The garage owner said that engine oil need to be changed and i did so on 09.26.2017. But still the light is on ? i think it says " maintenance required." why is the light is on even after oil change is done ? i do not drive the vehicle everyday as i can not afford gas money. We are state beneficiaries and the state has categorized us as low income family. Myself and three family members most of the time travel by bus. Therefore, i can not afford to pay for repairs and kindly help me to fix these issues at an early date. Thank you.
Car stalls when you brake to stop or if stopped will stall when you begin to accelerate. Also will stall when moving the drive indicator from drive to reverse or reverse to drive when stopped. Car stalls when making slow turns. Stalls are totally unpredictable. Honda states that it can't fix the problem without a fault code. Stalling is a serious issue that can cause an accident.
The ac compressor knocks as if it want to come off the engine. This happens while driving causing to jerk the car forward when it kicks in, then stops and kicks in again shortly there after. The car almost stalled out just because of this. The engine works hard at keeping the compressor from shutting the car down. One of these days it will come of the engine.
We bought this car in march, 2013. Now in 2014, we noticed the ac wasn't working we attempted to recharge it with freon, but i was told the compressor needed to be replaced. The compressor was replace, the condenser, lines, ex valve, even a sensor. Pretty much all the ac system has been replace. Now we have noticed that once the compressor is on. It causes the engine to stall while driving or making turns. It feels as if the compressor will cause the engine to turn off. As if not bad enough once the car is on park with ac on the compressor will shut-off and the ac will start blowing a humid-smelly air. Once it does this, the compressor's emergency valve will open and flush some freon. It is a very serious safety hazard. I don't feel safe driving the car with my family in it. Specially now that i've read about all the other recalls and complains. Doing my research now (which is too late), i found that honda was sued due to this issue. Ac compressor malfunction is to be found in 02-04 honda crvs. Our crv has been back at the mechanic 3 times the last month, and yet the issue cant be resolve. The mechanic says it has to do with the way the system was design. Alternator and compressor share the same band. I'm afraid and concerned that at somepoint both things will give-out while driving.
Car in driveway. Not driven for 3 days, just not needed but working. During day, car caught on fire. Fire inspectors was unable to determine the cause due to the extent of damage. They believed it could have been electrical. Fire concentrated in dash and engine area. Windshield blew during fire. Have owned this car since new, for 17 years. 140,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, a grayish-white smoke began to emit from underneath the engine without warning. As the vehicle began to smoke, the contact lost complete power steering also without warning. With excessive force, the contact was able to drive the vehicle into an independent mechanic as the contact heard a loud booming sound emit from the vehicle. The independent mechanic discovered that the serpentine belt had snapped in half which the mechanic linked to his defective air conditioner compressor. The contact initially emailed honda customer service about the defect and a representative called him back to inform him that a letter in regards to the failure would be sent to him. The contact had yet to receive the letter. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,137. *ln*dt consumer stated ac was repaired by the previous owner in 2007 with 56k miles. Not even a year later a class action lawsuit was filed.
2002 honda crv:i was making a turn from a stop light, into the freeway on ramp, and i heard a loud gear dragging sound from the engine compartment.i lost power steering and the car and it was pulling to the right.i immediately attempted to pull over just as i was ascending on to the on ramp, however the engine stalled and smoke was visible coming from the engine bay before i could safely pull over to the shoulder.i had to put the gear on neutral and push the car to the shoulder.it was nerve racking with my wife and two kids in the car.i noticed that fluid was leaking underneath the car.i inspected all the fluid levels and realized that it was from an air conditioner compressor failure, which caused the accessory belt to drag and stall the engine.the vehicle restarted but ac was not functional.
I am asking your assistance with a problem with my honda crv. I took my honda in for the airbag recall on september 1, 2015. Was told it was accomplished and drove home in the evening to discover that my honda had no oil in it. (the checklist provided by the service technician showed that my oil was fine.) not only is the abs light back on but my car has now developed a throttle issue. A copy of my september 17, 2015 letter to both the local honda dealer and their corporate offices follows.at least as much of it as your form allows. I have not had the courtesy of a response from either. September 17, 2015 "honda corporate offices via fax 310-783-3023 princeton honda via fax 609-683-1637 i am simply going to present the facts. I do not want any telephone calls. I will accept e-mail correspondence on the matter only. ([xxx]) on september 1st of this year, the airbag recalls for my crv were scheduled to be effected. I received a call that my car was ready at 8:30 in the morning. I picked my car up that evening after work. About 7 miles into my 12 mile trip home the engine bucked and i lost power. I was able to limp my way home where i promptly checked the oil and found to my chagrin that i there was no oil in the car. How the oil could have been fine (according to the inspection checklist) at 8 in the morning and then evaporate by 7 pm for my ride home raises many questions. The questions raised range from benign to malicious depending on the level of anxiety i am experiencing as i drive. I have been monitoring my oil consumption carefully and the car is not burning oil egregiously at present. I have never been able to afford the dealer maintenance prices but i have bought my car to over 244,000 miles with what care i could afford to give it. I had hoped for at least 300,000 miles, but i do not know how much other damage may have been caused by this event."parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Crv with 45,000 miles made loud grinding noise and a/c stopped working.occupants could have suffocated due to lack of air conditioning in car as medical conditions prevented occupants from opening windows.
We have a 2002 honda crv. The 1st air compressor locked up/blew up at approximately 70k miles. The extended warranty covered the replacement. Now the 2nd compressor has done the same thing. Extended warranty has expired. Cost is $2300. Have read that this year of crv has defective compressors. Honda america offered to pay 25% ($408) which is not adequate since this is our 2nd compressor and the product appears to be defective (as opposed to regular wear and tear).
Consumer complained that honda, crv dripped oil after the first oil change.there was a recall of a warning that after the first oil change there might be some oil leak,it was not for a 2002 model, ,but for a previous year.after last oil change consumer noticed a puddle of oil indriveway. He purchased this vehicle in may, 2002 and never received a recall notice on it.
I am filing a report due to oil that was leaked onto the exhaust system of my car and resulted in my car catching on fire. This damage has been attributed to oil filter gaskets that have not been properly removed. I have contacted honda, and they have only offered to provide me with a letter explaining that it is best to have my oil change at their dealership. I feel it is a manufacture defect to have a car model that is prone to oil filter gaskets sticking, only to result in oil leakages and finally car fires. Such practices are not only dangerous, but it is unethical to market a product to the public that poses such danger. Furthermore, not all honda buyers are notified. I bought my honda used, and never receive and such letters or updates, being unknowingly exposed to harm. I'm outraged.
A/c compressor exploded braking the shaft off of the compressor and sending shards of metal throughout the ac system.
Strange noise from engine then a/c blowing only hot air.took car to nearby goodyear service facility to check system.compressor had blown apart-several sizable chunks were recovered.apparently honda uses substandard metals in the compressors since this is a recurring problem.
Ac compressor seized and broke apart while driving on the highway.
Failure of the air conditioner compressor.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the air conditioner compressor failed causing the serpentine belt to become faulty. While driving 45 mph, the contact stated that the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. In 2005, the contact replaced the entire air condition system however, the vehicle continued to stall. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing but informed her that she would be responsible for payment. The manufacturer informed the contact that they would not be able to provide her with any additional assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The current and failure mileages were 176,000.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer and they stated that the timing chain was the cause of the failure, thus the engine needed to be replaced.secondly, because the contact did not follow the warranty agreement, they would not assume financial responsibility for any repairs.the vehicle has not been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 95,000.
2002 honda cr-v with 98,000 miles.driving down interstate with ac on. Stopped for gas. Got back on interstate and ac would not blow cold air; only hot air. Dealer says compressor blew apart and sent shards of metal through entire ac system. They say whole ac system needs replacing now for $3,800.
I referred what to me was burning brake smell to my dealer during 15,000 mile service; upon pick up of vehicle, service person informed me that origin of smell was actually oil leaking from filter onto exhaust system.*la
Engine light keeps coming on & then car will drive rough. I have taken it in 3 times already for same problem, they told me to make sure gas cap is on tight and not to over/under fill with gas i have been doing as told and the problem is still present for the 4th time. Car was purchased on august 2002.
The a/c compressor has failed twice. The first time at 106101 miles in 2008 and the second time at 135567 miles on may 3, 2012. So it lasted just 29466 miles. This is unacceptable and upsetting. The new one is already starting to act up but at least it's under warranty since it has only been 3 weeks since it was installed. Honda needs to redesign the compressor so people can at least get a reliable replacement part. Honda should lose their reputation for building quality cars and i will never buy another one because of this.
Air compressor in my 2002 honda crv exploded spreading debris throughout the system causing major damage. Honda paid for the parts.i had to pay $600 for labor.
Add me to the list of owners who suffered a catastrophic honda cr-v air compressor failure. It's a 2002 with 136k miles. It's in beautiful condition, well kept by previous owners. I was driving to work and i heard a tinny grinding sound. I pulled over and lifted the hood. Didn't see anything wrong. Continued driving, but noticed the ac was blowing warm air. I called bankston honda (the closest dealer to me in coppell, tx), who diagnosed the problem. They told me it would cost $3,100 to repair, but that i should call american honda and open a case with them, since they may agree to cover some of the cost. Apparently this is a widespread issue, one that honda appears to be ignoring for the time being (at least until they're hit with a class action lawsuit).with 100 degree weather, a wife and two children, there is no way we can survive with a car that doesn't have ac. We chose a 2002 honda cr-v based on incredibly consistent positive feedback (safety, reliability, value retention, etc.). So far this has been the only issue. Our family can't afford to pay $3,100 to repair the ac. We really need american honda to step up and at least pay for the parts.american honda have given me a case number (n012009-05-2601731) and asked that i write them to explain what happened so they can make a determination as to whether they'll cover any of the cost. I hope they at least pay for the necessary parts. If they come through, they'll cement their reputation and i'll continue to recommend honda to my friends and family. If they can't offer any help, i'll need to join the class action lawsuit to try to recoup some of the cost. This is clearly a wide spread problem, one that honda will eventually need to own up to.i encourage everyone to go to this url and file their info, if only to pressure american honda to do the right thing:http://www.honda-lawsuit.com/thanks,don montalvocoppell, tx2002 honda cr-v (136k miles).
Driver side airbag light on.was told need to replace the airbag.when ac was on, engine gave strange noise and went dead completely.restarted the engine, and turned ac off, things were ok.
Air compressor in my honda cr-v went out. Needs to be replaced.cost $3300.
I am the original owner of a 2002 honda cr-v which has an air conditioner failure at 86,000 miles.all components need to be replaced.it was first noticeable with a rattling noise under the hood - needs compressor, dryer, receiver, condenser etc replaced for around $1000-2200 at an independent mechanic.dealer is approx. $2500-3500 which i have not pinned down yet.am. Honda will do nothing.mileage should not be a factor here; honda manufactured a defective part and should pay the entire repair amount.i am sure if am. Honda rep. Was faced with same situation, he would be demanding payment as well.hope for definitive class action lawsuit.also, oxygen sensor needs to be replaced and door locks will no longer work therefore you cannot lock the car.have replaced tail lights 3x in a year and now honda says it needs a socket replacement.these are very expensive repairs on what should have been a reliable vehicle.
We own a 2002 honda . The air conditioning compressor and other parts involving the air conditioning went out in 2005 (oct) just after the warranty expired. We had it all replaced. They called it "goodwill" and we did not have to pay for it. Yesterday july 14, 2008 it appears to have gone out again, the same way as before.i went to an online board on edmonds and read up on all the complaints that they have had with the 2002-2004 (maybe later) compressors blowing up and shooting pieces of metal all over causing other parts to break.there is obviously a serious condition with hondas air conditioning compressors!they have not done a recall on them, but from what i hear some get them replaced for free (as did we) but only the first time, after that it costs them apx $3,000 to replace everything involved. This is happening too frequently to be normal. Some said it was every 40,000 miles. Ours went longer. Please help as we can not afford to replace it again and we live in hot country!
2002 - 2004 honda crv's have a history of problems with air conditioning. Specifically the unit disinegrating. This has happened to me twice at a cost of $3500. Auto web forums (for crv's) have received many complaints about this problem.
Failure of a/c compressor on 2002 honda cr/v ex.compressor froze while in traffic on busy street causing engine to stall.my wife had to coast, in the vehicle over to the side of the street and into an off-street parking lot.
Vehicle is 2002 honda cr-v with 44,300 milesa/c compressor had to be replaced at great expense.after reading all the posts online, it appears to be a defect that honda refuses to acknowledge.i want to join any class action lawsuits regarding this matter.
I have a honda cr-v 2002. On 09-22-2008 the a/c compressorexploded. I went on-line and checked this issue. It was a honda factory defect which cause a lot of compressor failure. I read a lot of honda customer reports from www.topix.com. In many cases honda paid from 80%-100% of cost. I called honda america (800) 999-1009 and opened case number # n 012008-09-2300147. My case person is a mr. Darrell harville and his boss is mrs. Holly muhammed. I have talk to them many times and told them that i know this on going defect issue with a/c compressors. I asked them to pay 100% cost because of honda factory defect. They offered pay $ 1800 and i have to pay $ 1200 to the ed morse hondadealership. I told them "no" because i am not paying for honda factory defect. I requested 4 times to talk to mrs. Holly muhammed (general manager) but she didn't responded to me yet. I live in south florida. It is 85-90 degrees and some time raining. I am having hard time without a/c. Please, help me with thissituation.thank you
On a trip to merced, ca.summer of 2008. My 2002 honda crv air condition compressor failed. It required replaced every part for entire a/c system. The system failed without any warning. Total cost $3500. I do think if compressor failed it should not ruin the entire. This is the clear case of defective designed system.
The ac air compressor clutch on my 2002 honda crv fell out while i was coming to a stop at a light. Fortunately, no one was hurt. I do not know if there was any other damage to the car from this incident especially any other internal components or parts. I took it to a honda dealer. They want to charge me over 1200 to install new one air compressor. I asked whether their was any recall on this part, they said no because it did not fall under emissions or safety. He also mentioned that since i'm not the original owner of the car and it has over 130,000 miles, warranty won't cover it. I'm going to get a second opinion from another auto mechanic.
My 2002 honda crv 4wd, 81000 miles, has a defected ac compressor that is locked up.american honda knows about the problem with ac compressors in the crv 2002-2005 models and will not issue a recall to fix the problem.
My 2002 honda crv with 61k miles suddenly began making a very loud sound which stopped when i turned off the air conditioning.i immediately drove to a nearby honda dealer.a service technical looked under the hood and told me that the a.c. Compressor has exploded.i was handed an estimate of $4001 to repair.i took it to 2 independent repair shops and was told that the compressor had "imploded" and "was grenaded".i don't have $4001 so i am continuing to drive without the a.c., hoping that nothing important was damaged that will put me in danger.
I have a 2002 honda crv with 60,000 miles and i was driving with my air conditioning running and came to a stop light. As soon as i pulled away the car starting making a very loud clanking noise. I pulled over to try to figure it out and realized that when i turned off the air it stopped. I drove by the honda dealership immediately and was told that the sound was from the failed air compressor that we about $1200-2500 to replace. I have called american honda motor company and they refused any goodwill assistance.
I was driving home from work on 7/17/08 and heard a low grumbling noise coming from my air conditioning vents in my 2002 honda crv. Thirty seconds later this sound stopped and about a minute later only hot air came out of the vents. I've taken the crv to a non honda repair shop and they advised replacing the air compressor, clutch, dryer and expansion coil for approx $1235. The honda delivership advised replacing the entire cooling system for $3350 and then offered a 30% discount ( good will ) dropping the repair cost to $2350.
My auto a/c was blowing hot air.mechanic determined the compressor was frozen and the clutch damaged.repairs were done at a cost of $1250.15.it appears to be an ongoing problem with cr-vs which honda refuses to acknowledge as a defective part.i have retained the defective compressor.
Air conditioner failed cost is 3000.00 to fix.
2002 crv ordered and bought new in 2004 and 2005 replaced whole air conditioning unit first time had to wait as parts were not available. In 2006 have to replace cooling fans as both not working. Honda helped with part of cost for first two repairs but this should not happenthis car is a lemon.
I have a 2002 honda cr-v that had 135,000 miles at the time the compressor imploded. American honda is aware of the issue. The compressor implodes, shooting shards of metal throughout the ac system, resulting in expensive replacement of parts other than the compressor. Essentially the entire ac system needs to be rebuilt at a cost in the neighborhood of $2500-3500 (my bill came to $3100). American honda refused to pick up the tab on any of the parts or labor associated with this repair. If you google "honda+air+compressor+failure" you will find many, many reports of this issue, all reported to american honda.
I purchased my 2002 honda cr-v ex new & have had all of the recommended services performed by my local honda dealer.around 7/12/2006, my a/c stopped working at 57,023 miles.the power switch made a strange clunking noise & the a/c failed to start right away.i immediately turned the switch off & back on.the fan came on, but only blew out hot air.i took it to my regular honda dealer & paid $153.40 to have them check the a/c system out.the diagnosis was the a/c system was dead & it would cost me another $1,600 to replace the compressor, coil set & clutch set.i shopped around & had another shop that only works on hondas and acuras do the same work recommended by my honda dealer at a cost of $1,203.52.they used genuine honda parts to make the repair & gave a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty.my car now has 95,000 miles.on 7/11/2009, my a/c was working fine when i parked my cr-v.the next afternoon, the a/c was only blowing warm air when i turned my car back on.i started looking on-line to see if there had been any recalls for this particular problem.that is when i realized i have a serious problem on my hands.there are numerous complaints for the same problem.on 7/30/2009, i called american honda to see if there were any recalls.they basically do not acknowledge any problem.because my car is out of warranty, they can't do anything for me.i explained this is the second time in 95,000 miles the a/c has gone out.he said they can't help me because i did not have the 1st repair done by my honda dealer, even though the mechanic who did the work was certifiedby macs & ase in refrigerant recycling & service procedures and used genuine honda parts.on 7/30/2009, i took my cr-v to my honda dealer to get an estimate.the compressor is dead again.the estimate is approx. $1,600 to fix it.the service mgr. Is going to try to work with his district manager to see if they can get american honda to help me.i am still waiting to hear.
The ac started to make banging noise, then ceased to work.this started at about 100,000 miles, just after the warranty expired. In 90-100 degree weather this is extremely dangerous -- i find myself falling asleep behind the wheel in the heat, even when windows are open.i can't afford $2000+ for repairs.apparently lots of cr-v owners are experiencing this problem with ac compressor.honda should be recalling this vehicle and pay for its repairs.
Nar 05/06/2003 mr the consumer was involved in an accident where severe damages occurred to the vehicle, the frame was bent, radiator was defective, and the air bags did not deploy.
2002 honda crv ex 4wd:at 45000 miles the oxygen sensor went out; one week later the entire a/c compressor body had 1 inch long crack and leaked.unbelievable.
I had the a/c compressor replaced at 31000 milesat the local dealer under warranty .then the compressor went out again around 4/30/05 at 68320 milesand talked to several mechs. Atdealers and they told me that honda told them to replace everythinghoses lines & etc.after they fixed mine the first time at 31000 miles now it is 37000 + later and having to get another compressor replacedi guess every 30000 miles they will need to be replacedthought honda was a better vehicle than that.cant get help from dealership yet. Sad thing is it's almost paid for guess i will fix it and then trade this car being honda isn't what they use to be very unhappy hope they get there problems fixed soon to many 02's a/c problems thanks m.p.
The engine stalled and would not move.cause was unknown. Dealer had been contacted.mr. Techinicians from japan were sent to inspect the vehicle.manufacturer also extended 5 year warranty on engine.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 65mph on the highway, the engine seized without warning and smoke erupted from underneath the front hood area.the vehicle shuddered and the contact managed to pull over.there was no evidence of an engine fire, but oil was pouring from underneath the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to a dealer for inspection who determined the motor failed and needed to be replaced.
The control system light came illuminated, according to the owners manual it meant the fuel cap was loose or there was a with the engine. Upon inspection of the vehicle the fuel cap was secured.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 50 mph the engine revved.the vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection.they determined the transmission was cracked and replaced the transmission, range sensor, range switch and oxygen sensor which remedied the problem.
The car stalls when coming to a stop.stalls when taking off from a stop.we use to get almost 320 miles to the gallon, we are now down to 100 to 180.the car bucks like it is not getting any fuel.the v-tec does not want to kick in all the time anymore.loss of power. It has been to the dealer on several occasions, when they cannot duplicate the problem.we have had all these problems since the a/c unit went out last july and the car has not been right since.we spent $100 on spark plugs that we were told would fix the fuel problem, that has not changed.we are not notified of any recalls we have to find them ourselves.
While driving at approx 45 mph, the engine in my 2002 honda cr-v ex lost power and stalled in the middle of the highway. I was able to restart the engine and get it to the side of the road where it stalled again. I tried to restart again butthe engine could not turn over. Had car towed to acura dealer where it was diagnosed that the spark plug could not be removed from cylinder #3 and the engine could not be turned over. The engine had seized. A complaint has been filed with honda and the car towed to a honda dealer for further investigation. Had i been traveling at high speed on a limited access road this would have been far more dangerous and might have resulted in severe injury or death.
While making a left turn the engine stalled. I lost all power to the vehicle. Was able to coast to side and restart car. Took to dealer and they advised they are aware of this problem happening to others and have no fix at this time. Honda looking into it if this occurred on the expressway i could have been killed. Dealer response is not acceptable vehicle unsafe to drive.dt
Consumer called complaining about having problems with the engine. Also stated that the vehicle will shout down on a full gas tank. Dealer was contacted and stated that don't know what the problem is. Ts
My car stalled in the middle of the road.i couldn'tstart it and had to towed it down to dealer.i was lucky that it did not happened in the highway.i can not imagine what will be happen if it stalls again it the middle of the high where every one drives so close and high speed.i drive about 150 miles every workday for my job and mostly inthe high way.i also travel at night.i am worried about my life and life of my family member.and i belief that it is a safety issue .i tried to talk to the companey and also wrote them a letter but it seems thery are not giving it any serious consideration for obvious economic reason. I hope you could help me.the dealer could not find anything to repair which makes it more difficult because whatever is the reason may be it is still there.
Vehicle stalls intermittantly right after take off from a stop. Dealer can not find a problem, mentioned it could be air getting into system. Ts
Air conditioner compressor had completely failed.a few days after the compressor failed, the serpentine belt snapped.the vehicle was in motion when the a/c went out with no warning.the vehicle made a tapping noise and smelled like burning rubber along with smoke coming out from the hood when the serpentine belt was found snapped. *scc
Air conditioner compressor failure. A safety concern in that this locks up the compressor pulley and possibly the entire engine belt. Replaced by honda.
The oxygen sensor on my 2002 honda crv failed to work and led to the check-engine light on. It failed at around 45,000 miles. According to the manufacture the oxygen sensor was not supposed to fail at this low miles.the replacement from honda dealer cost me $500.
Please provide fax number so that i may forward detailed description.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 50 mph the engine revved.the vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection.they determined the transmission was cracked and replaced the transmission, range sensor, range switch and oxygen sensor which remedied the problem.
Car skips and hesitates when accelerating between 35 & 50 mph.has caused 3 near accidents mainly due to being startled.vehicle is unreliable and unsafe.honda has replaced computer and oxygen sensor without improving the poor performance.honda now takes the official position of "this is a characteristic of this model".i have asked that they take me out of the vehicle and honda has refused.
Vehicle :2002 honda crvin november 2006 i took the car in to the dealer because the malfunction light stayed on. The car was running fine, no problems other than that indicator light staying on.the dealer replaced a sensor ($336.00).just after taking the car home, it began to stall out and would not accelerate and the same malfunction light came back on.i thought maybe i got some bad gas, but the problem continued to get worse.now the dealer tells me i need an oxygen-2 sensor replaced. (another $300.00 +) repair.
The engine stopped while traveling about 30 mph. There was no prior indication of any problems. I had the vehicle towed to power honda in valencia ca. It was determined the #1 exhause valve retainer was broken causing the valve to fall down and into the cylinder. Honda said i needed to replace the engine. Honda refuse any reimbursement because the vehclie had 74,000 miles and no extended warrenty. This appears to be a product defect that honda refuses to accept responsibility for. Honda engines should not fail within 30 months ownership or 74,000 miles.
On july 15th, the engine of our cr-v all of a sudden had an extra load on it.we shut off the ac and the extra load went away.the next day, about 140 miles into a trip the ac stopped working.we took the vehicle to two separate mechanics.the non-honda mechanic said that there wes a service bulletin on the ac stating that the complete ac system had to be replaced.the honda mechanic stated only thecompressor and the condenser had to be replaced.either one is extreme money.this seems to be a design flaw with the ac compressor such that when it fails it distributes metal throughout the ac system. Honda will not acknowledge any fault.
I'm the owner of a 2002 honda cr-v and have had problems with the a/c blowing hot air and now it's completely stopped.i'm reading hundreds of posts from other cr-v owners with the same problem and thousands of dollars in repairs.this is ridiculous. Honda needs to take responsibility. Not only is this consumer fraud, it is a safety issue.
I own a 2002 honda cr-v ex and its has 75,780 miles on it and today the air conditioner pump has failed. The pump has fragmented parts into the whole a/c system and will be a rather high repair rate from my local shop.
My 2002 honda cr-v with 70,000mi air conditioner clutch stopped working. This seems to be a trend with others honda cr-v owners.
We have a 2002 honda cr v with 102,000 miles on it. The air conditioner compressor exploded, contaminating the air conditioner system. I have learned that this is a regularly recurring problem with honda, but they refuse to correct the problem and refuse to help the consumer.
Air conditioner failure four times on 2002 honda crv.
Driving approx. 25 miles, 85 f.very loud noise from under the hood for about 15 seconds, loud pop, strange smell like something burning.a/c stopped working.checked under the hood, no visible signs of problem.a/c no longer works.
Ac compressor failed. Many complaints from others about this problem. Honda has defective parts.
Tomorrowi take my 2002 honda cr-v in for it's fifth air conditioner compressor. If it wasn't for the concern about visibility to defrost/defog the windshield in certain weather conditions, would not be shelling out another $1600 plus tax on this reliability highly overrated vehicle. Currently has only 166,600 miles on it. This time failure is being attributed to the condenser fan needing replacement also.at least this is the first time the compressor didn't just completely fail.buying it as a certified used vehicle only helped with the first replacement, so i guess it was worth it, but certainly didn't get the long term peace of mind expected for the extra cost.honda knows they have a problem but appear to not care to help owners cope with the exorbitant cost of owning this over priced vehicle.
I have a 2002 honda cr-v with 84,000 miles on it.this vehicle has been well maintained & has had all manufacturer recommended services completed and i have the records to prove it.the a/c compressor exploded last week circulating metal filings into the vehicle's system.this is a safety hazard because the engine could seize as a result of the presence of metal filings therefore not having any power brakes, power steering, etc.also, i cannot use the defrost which creates limited visibility in cooler temperatures which also creates a safety issue.this is a common, widely known problem often referred to as "honda black death".
[xxx][xxx]calhoun ga 30701my a/c compressor has went out again for the 3rd time. We have paid honda hennessy of woodstock a total of $6000.00 in the past 5 years for this. We bought this honda cr-v with only 3 miles. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Also my driver side seat reclines back and forth with out even using the latch. My door locks do not even work they have had to be pried open and i have to leave the key in the ignition switch or it won't start.

I called honda about my air condtioning system and did as they said. I brought my car to an accredited honda dealership and had it diagnosed (which i had to pay out of my own pocket). They quoted me $4,000. I contacted honda usa and after three month i finally heard back from them, i informed them that i was not the first to have this problem, that i had gone online and found that i was not the only honda owner who have had there air conditioning system break. The honda representative told me that they can not go by what i read on the internet. Which is true to a point but i think they had have many complaints about this problem already because the representative use the same description i have read about the air conditioning unit, which was "air conditioning unit has cracked causing shards of metal to plug up the unit, causing a complete replacement of the entire air conditioning unit. Honda usa quoted me $3,991 to fix my a/c with a deadline of 60 days to accept or they would recind the "discount" offer. I know a/c problems is not a safety issue but i feel that honda knew or knows about this problem and should recall or show there loyal owners that they care. Until such time i amnow a former honda customer.
2002 crv ordered and bought new in 2004 and 2005 replaced whole air conditioning unit first time had to wait as parts were not available. In 2006 have to replace cooling fans as both not working. Honda helped with part of cost for first two repairs but this should not happenthis car is a lemon.
I own a honda crv minivan and recently the compressor in the air conditioning system suddenly failed.the honda dealer said "it exploded and contaminated the whole ac system"and that the entire system needed to be replaced!a honda employee told me that he has come across this same problem with several crv's ac systems which had failed and that i should talk to honda usa customer service concerning the a/c problem.customer service told me it would cost $2,500 dollars for the new system, and refused to acknowledge that there was a problem with the systems when i suggested this appeared to be a manufacturers' defect.in the end, they gave me "a deal" and only(!) charged me $1,900 to replace the system, which i paid.i searched the internet and found dozens of a/c failures in the honda crv!i also spoke to a fellow employee who had a failure at 24,000 miles, and noted that among the internet searches many of the similar a/c problems occurred in crvs with very low mileage. One of the websites was edmunds.com ?? inside line forum at:http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/[email protected]@.ef026c3!keywords=allin%3amsgtext%20limit%3a.ef026c3%20ac&count=20 i can send for your review some of research which shows many examples of the same problem occurring at different mileages, but i'm sure you have better sources. In my view, honda should issue a recall, resolve this problem, and refund money for those expenses to all who had the same problem. It would also seem to me that an exploding compressor would be a safety problem, especially if the contamination were to breach the system! i'm filing this complaint to bring this problem to your attention, and would greatly appreciate your looking into this problem and ensuring that honda resolve it! i look forward to your assistance.
Heard a clunk type noise in engine area of car. Reportedthis to mechanic and he diagnosedthe compressor of the ac had locked up, the shaft had twisted off,& the outer clutch plate was missing . This was a 2002 honda cr-v with 62,212 miles with a repair bill of $1729.83. The car had not been abused or wrecked.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, a banging noise could be heard coming from the air conditioner. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics, where the technicians stated that the compressor was deteriorating internally and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.
I've had to replace the airconditioning in my 2002 honda crv twice since buying it new in dec. 2001.the first time i had it replaced at the dealer for over $2800 in 2004; i again had it replaced in may 2009 at a local shop for $1000.
Honda crv 2002 ac went out about 2 months ago. I was told the ac compressor need to be replace along with receiver drier and orifice tube.it will cost around $2500.00. Honda of america knows that have a problem with it.
On march of 2005 i heard a loud noise and my a/c stop blowing cold air, i took it to the mechanic and the entire a/c unit had to be replaced and could only be done with the original honda unit because no other fits the vehicle, it was replaced, on august 2005 the a/c stopped blowing cold air again and the clutch had to be replaced but was under guarantee, now september 2007 the a/c has is not blowing cold air and is making a thumping sound.
The air conditioner in my 2002 honda crv failed completely. I understand that there is a defect in the compressors. The factory has an updated unit. Honda has not recalled theair conditioners even though they are aware of this defect. This repair can run up to $3000.00 retail. This is not a clear safety issue unless the compressor failure causes the power steering pump to go.
Air conditioner system failure. A safety concern in that this locks up the compressor pulley and possibly the entire engine belt. Also, defroster not working properly. Replaced by honda.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated thatthe air conditioner would only blow hot air. The vehicle wastaken to both a local mechanic and an authorized dealer where the contact was advised to replace the air compressor. The vehicle was not repaired.the manufacturer was notified to report the failure. The failure and current mileages were approximately 138,000.
I have a 2002 honda crv. While i was driving last week it suddenly began making a loud racket under the hood and the a/c stopped putting out cold air. I turned off the a/c and the noise stopped. I took it to the dealership and they said the compressor, condensor and dryer must be replaced because it had exploded. This cost $1900 to repair. After reading on the internet i saw where several hondas have had this problem. It seems to be a manufacturer defect of some sort. I'm very disappointed that honda has not turned out to be as reliable a vehicle as i expected.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.the contact stated that the air conditioner malfunctioned due to a faulty a/c compressor.the contact did not take the vehicle to a dealer or mechanic.the contact called the manufacturer and the manufacturer stated that the air conditioner was not a safety related issue so there was nothing they could do to assist with repairs.the failure mileage was 97,000.
Normal day to day driving....air was cooling....we heard a loud noise from under the hood....no more cool air....air conditioner went completely out on my 2002 honda crv....total cost to repair was 1800.00....there is a known problem with the air conditioners but honda has not issued a recall....according to roebuck honda we did not have an extended warranty, we took the car to a honda certified repairman (who previously worked for roebuck honda) after getting a quote from roebuck honda....we contacted honda america for some type of reembursement since there is a known problem and the car is only 3 yrs old with less than 60,000 miles....we have been given the run around....enough of these complaints get issued maybe honda will do something for their consumers.
There was a loud rattling noise coming from my air conditioner. My husband took a look at it.when he turned the air conditioner on and went around to the front of the car.the ball bearings in my compressor failed and the compressor exploded.shards of metal flew from under the car. From the research i have done there have been a lot of honda crvs doing the same.if anyone was standing near the car at the time of explosion, they could have been hurt.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the air conditioner compressor failed causing the serpentine belt to become faulty. While driving 45 mph, the contact stated that the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. In 2005, the contact replaced the entire air condition system however, the vehicle continued to stall. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing but informed her that she would be responsible for payment. The manufacturer informed the contact that they would not be able to provide her with any additional assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The current and failure mileages were 176,000.
In 2006, the air conditioning compressor failed in our 2002 honda crv.the car had about 63,000 miles at the time.our honda dealer said the warranty had expired and the part was not covered by a recall.we purchased a new honda replacement compressor and had it installed at a local shop because honda's labor price was outrageous...over $3000!this repair cost us about $2500.in 2007, the compressor failed again at 78,000 miles.we checked with the honda dealer again, and were told that the part was not covered by a recall.they said there was metal pieces in the lines and the entire air conditioning system had to be replaced.it would cost $4000 to have the system replaced. Again, i purchased honda replacement parts and had a local shop install the new air conditioning system.this time i paid $3200, which included a discount on the labor rate because they had replaced the compressor before. We were without our crv for over two weeks during the hottest time of the year (temps above 100 f).this was a terrible inconvenience, and a financial burden.many other honda crv owners have had the same problem, so this is clearly a manufacturing defect.i suspect there is, or will be, a class action suit against honda.i haven't found a way to join the suit, but i am looking.something should be done about this problem.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph with the air conditioner activated when suddenly, warm air began to circulate throughout the vents. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the air conditioner compressor would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. Also, the check engine light has been coming on and going off, since the vehicle was purchased in 2002. The dealer informed the consumer there was a crack at the top of the fuel tank. Updated 07/17/14updated 03/10/16.

I was driving home in my 2002 honda cr-v ex when i heard a loud noise from my vehicle.a few yards further up the road, i heard a thunk. So i pulled over and looked underneath and in the road, but i didn't see anything.however, when i started driving again, the a/c was not working.the next morning as i was driving to the dealer to have them look at the vehicle, i heard a thud from underneath, looked in my review mirror, and saw a part spinning in the road.i picked up the part and took it to the dealer, where they confirmed it was the clutch from my a/c that just fell off as i was driving down the road.this is not a small part and could easily have caused me to blow a tire, caused engine damage or have caused someone else on the road swerve into danger.luckily, i was not going that fast and there was no one behind me.from the internet, i see that other people have had the same thing happen.parts falling off a vehicle in motion is a safety issue!the a/c failure spewed metal throughout the entire a/c system and it all had to be replaced.a/c is not just a comfort item as it is needed to defog windows.
Driving approx. 25 miles, 85 f.very loud noise from under the hood for about 15 seconds, loud pop, strange smell like something burning.a/c stopped working.checked under the hood, no visible signs of problem.a/c no longer works.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.while driving 50 mph, the contact heard a loud banging noise coming from the front of the vehicle.as a result, the air conditioner began to blow hot air.the dealer stated that the air conditioning needed to be replaced.as of september 14, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle.the current and failure mileages were 64,000.
Air conditioner compressor had completely failed.a few days after the compressor failed, the serpentine belt snapped.the vehicle was in motion when the a/c went out with no warning.the vehicle made a tapping noise and smelled like burning rubber along with smoke coming out from the hood when the serpentine belt was found snapped. *scc
2002 honda crv ex 4wd:at 45000 miles the oxygen sensor went out; one week later the entire a/c compressor body had 1 inch long crack and leaked.unbelievable.
In 2006 with 66000 miles and under normal driving conditions the air conditioning system started to give off burning smell which caused headaches and nausea before the system failed completely. A/c compressor was found to have failed and it was replaced.then in august 2013 with 95000 miles the unit failed again with the same issue and same toxic fumes.am concerned about the health impact of this especially due to the frequency of this failure.research has shown that this component is of inadequate design and honda lost a class action lawsuit due to frequent failures.this failure rate, while not impacting the safety of the car, does have potential health hazards for the occupants beyond reasonable risk.
While driving down the highway, i heard an odd, continuous noise that made me think that it was my ac. I immediately switched off the ac, but the noise continued briefly and then was followed by a loud bang from the engine compartment and the sound of something breaking loose and flapping around the engine compartment. When i could safely stop, i turned the ac back on. The fan ran but the air was not cold. When i called honda service, the representative told me he knew what the problem was as he had the same thing happened to him. He said the compressor clutch broke and because of the system design, the breakage sent metal shards throughout the ac system, requiring replacement of the entire ac unit except for a couple of hoses. He quoted $2900 for the repair. My vehicle has had the recommended service maintenance and had in fact been serviced just prior to the breakage. As failure seemed premature and the ac design flawed, i searched the internet for similar complaints. I found a discussion topic at edmunds.com devoted solely to this problem (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0d3fbb.f0d3fb5/0). As honda has offered a courtesy repair to some customers, they are obviously aware of the defective compressor.
The car stalls when coming to a stop.stalls when taking off from a stop.we use to get almost 320 miles to the gallon, we are now down to 100 to 180.the car bucks like it is not getting any fuel.the v-tec does not want to kick in all the time anymore.loss of power. It has been to the dealer on several occasions, when they cannot duplicate the problem.we have had all these problems since the a/c unit went out last july and the car has not been right since.we spent $100 on spark plugs that we were told would fix the fuel problem, that has not changed.we are not notified of any recalls we have to find them ourselves.
Low beam headlights suddenly and simultaneously burn out.
Both low beam headlights would not turn on tonight when i got into the car to drive home from work after dark. Fog lights also will not turn on. High beam headlights work. No blown fuses. Slight burning smell in passenger compartment. Both low beam headlights and both fog lights worked yesterday. Have not had this problem checked by dealer or mechanic yet. Left headlight was replaced two months ago, right headlight was replaced one month ago, both by local honda dealer. I bought this honda cr-v ex new in 2002 and have never had this problem before. I had the honda dealer add fog lights to this cr-v in 2004. Really was surprised to find that both low beams and both fog lights failed at the same time.updated 02/24/12

On 8/1/2011, while driving our 2002 honda crv, i noticed a strange smell. When darkness fell, i realized that the low beams on my vehicle were not working, through the high beams and every other light on the vehicle worked. This has happened twice before - once in november of 2009, and once in march of 2010. When it happened previously, i first checked the bulbs and fuses. They were all fine. I then researched the issue on the internet, and looked into a wiring harness behind the steering wheel. I found a wiring harness that contained some corrosion between connectors that had melted somewhat. I scraped off the corrosion and applied some dielectric to inhibit future corrosion, and the lights came back on. I spoke with the service attendants at my local honda dealership (with pictures that i took of the offending harness), and after checking their computers, they told me that there was nothing on record regarding the issue. I have not yet made the (obviously temporary) repair for the most recent occurrence of this issue. I'm thinking that i may take it to the dealership service to see if they can come up with a more permanent solution.....updated 01/17/12
Both low beam headlights just quit working - i checked the bulbs and they were in working order.there was a burning rubber type smell leading up to the headlights not working.the high beam lights do work.
While driving my low beam head lights went out and i could smell something burning i immediately pulled off on the shoulder of the highway at 1:30 am. The burning smell was coming from around my steering column.i checked my high beam head lights and they worked so that is how i got home.my husband got on line and checked for any recalls and found non just complaints about other people having the same issue.my husband checked where the burnt smell was coming from and foundthe issue and called the dealer ship and they said that we had to pay for it and gave us a crazy amount to fix it.my husband as handy as he is did a temporary fix on it.i hope honda fixes this issue before someone gets killed or hurt.
Headlight bulbs (low beam) burn out frequently.bulb life varies from 10 minutes to 14 months.i use about 5 bulbs a year on average.burn-outs occur on both driver-side and passenger-side.occasionally, both will burn out at the same time.honda dealer has been unable to find the problem.
Upon leaving my house last evening, i noticed that both of my low beam headlights quit working simultaneously.i came back home and initially checked the fuses forboth headlights, finding that both fuses were in working order.i then removed each headlight bulb from the casing to see if they had burned out.both bulbs appear to be perfectly fine with the coil inside the bulb being undamaged.i then check the headlight connectors and made sure that each was free of any material that may interrupt connection.i called my local honda dealership this morning and the service manager said it sounded like a bad headlight switch, which i am now going to have to pay $163.00 to replace.i will keep the faulty switch so that if the nhtsa would like to investigate i would be more than happy to send if it leads to a vehicle recall for this particular equipment failure.

Low beam headlights inoperative.there is a safety recall in place due to a known wiring issue.however, cause of failure is concurrent burnout of low beam filaments in both bulbs.this is highly unlikely unless there is a voltage surge of some sort.unknown whether this is related to the wiring recall, as the described failure mode in the current recall campaign would render the circuit open and not subject filaments to overvoltage.possibility of a second cause of headlight failure in this model.

I recently noticed that the vehicle lights were pulsating at a level that was barely detectable.just yesterday when i attempted to use the vehicle and turned on the lights only the running lights came on.i have no headlights either high or low beam.research has discovered that 2002-2004 honda crvs have had the identical issue due to overheating circuitry causing the light switch to catastrophically fail.
Smoke started arising from the steering column while driving on a city street during the daytime. Driver was not using lights at the time and was using normal occasional turn signals for a urban metropolitan area. The turn signal was evaluated and showed melting of the turn signal switch and the terminal harness. This is similar to what is described in nhtsa 12v-136 or 12v-486. Honda america and honda dealerships said the 2002 honda cr-v was not included, because vin was not included in the recall. However, the model and year of the car were included and having the same problems described as previously mentioned recalls.

We responded to a safety recall on our 2002 honda crv in 2013 to replace the combination light switch which might cause a fire or the lights to go out unexpectedly. Repairs were completed 30 oct 2013. In march 2017 the issues identified in the recall were exactly what happened. The switch started smoking and the lights went out. I notified the closest dealership to schedule the repairs for the items to be replaced. The dealer told me that yes this is the item covered by the recall but would not be covered and i would have to pay. This made no sense to me but as i had to drive 80 miles to return home i went ahead and paid. I contacted honda and explained the problem. They responded that the parts they had previously installed were now out of warranty and they would not cover the costs. It seems that even if replacement parts are used and the safety issue still happens as identified in the safety recall, they should cover the repair costs. They felt otherwise.
Low beams went out simultaneously.high beams still worked.changed out headlights and switches; low beams still did not work.took vehicle into honda zimmerman dealership, expressed concern that it seemed odd that both low beams would go out at the same time. I mentioned to dealership that the nhtsa had received similar complaints for the same year, make, and model.dealership said that they were not aware of anything reported and no formal recall had been issued.this will be the second set of headlights replaced in six months; and the low beams still do not work.
Low beam on passenger side headlight browned out to almost no light. It has taken several light bulbs over past few years. Upon my inspection, found harness plug for light bulb was charred and damaged.
My wife and i own an 02 honda cr-v that has headlight failure problems. I have researched online and found that there is an issue noted at different forums concerning the steering column electrical connection at the dimmer/turn signal switch. Our headlights failed during normal use in june of2011. I took my steering column cover off and looked at the electrical connection to the dimmer/turn signal switch and found it to be partially melted. I cleaned the connections and reinstalled the connector. The repair lasted only temporary (2 months) and then the lights failed again. I have determined that the replacement of the wiring connector is the only complete repair, but since i have heard there is an investigation, i wanted to acknowledge that my 02 honda suffers this problem of a faulty wiring connector from the manufacturer at the dimmer/turn signal switch.updated 09/07/11 updated 2/23/12
Ever since i have had my car the headlights burn out within 3-4 months. Change one, the other goes out. Averaging 2000.00 over the lifetime of owning my car. The front drivers seat's bolt broke...the service manager said it was bc of weight...i weigh 135# i had to pay to have my seat fixed. Not my fault!! my seat belt will not buckle until the 4-5 try..it keeps on bouncing out of the clicker.
The low beams stopped working while driving and the plastic wire harness connector that plugs into the headlight switch started smokingand burned up.the headlight switch i can get through honda but i can't find the plastic wiring harness connector.it is not safe when your low beams both go out when driving cause the wire for the low beams burns up in the connector for no reason.

Honda notes that high-beam headlamp functionality is not impeded by this issue.'

I have been having trouble with my low beam head lighting system this morning i have no low beam lights at all.in reviewing honda forums there is a lot of problems with the low beam lights and honda has recalled the civic's for this problem.i took my vehicle to darling's honda and the diagnosis is the switch and connector in the steering column has melted and this is the same system that is used in the civic but the cr-v's were not recalled and there is no plan on having that done.my only recourse is to pay out of pocket for honda's mistake.i would like to have honda reimburse me for my expense but darling's is not at liberty to do thati use my cr-v to deliver newspapers at 1 am and need to replace this on my own.

I turned off the light switch and the smell went away. In my investigation i found the following: date announced: february 24, 2004 vehicles affected: 440,000summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the low-beam terminal on the head light wire harness can overheat and could cause the low beams to fail without warning.consequence: an unexpected loss of low beams could result in a crash. Actions: dealers will inspect the head light switch and coupler for signs of heat damage. If heat damage is present, the dealer will replace the switch and coupler. If no heat damage is present, the dealer will replace the head light switch and one mating pin in the coupler. Owner notification began on april 5, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Both headlights went out simultaneously while driving.high beams still work.low beams work again after being out for about 5-10 minutes.it tends to happen after headlights have been on for roughly an hour of driving.a damaged connector was found in the steering column.updated 06/04/12
Upon leaving my house last evening, i noticed that both of my low beam headlights quit working simultaneously.i came back home and initially checked the fuses forboth headlights, finding that both fuses were in working order.i then removed each headlight bulb from the casing to see if they had burned out.both bulbs appear to be perfectly fine with the coil inside the bulb being undamaged.i then check the headlight connectors and made sure that each was free of any material that may interrupt connection.i called my local honda dealership this morning and the service manager said it sounded like a bad headlight switch, which i am now going to have to pay $163.00 to replace.i will keep the faulty switch so that if the nhtsa would like to investigate i would be more than happy to send if it leads to a vehicle recall for this particular equipment failure.
Detected a burning smell, similar to an electrical smell like something melted. I did have the headlights on, but it was bright enough in the morning that i couldn't tell that they had failed.i stopped immediately and looked around the cabin, etc. For smoke. I didn't see anything, but i turned around and drove directly to the dealer.the dealer did diagnostic tests, etc and couldn't figure out the source of the burning smell other than it wasn't coming from the vents. I guess he didn't check the headlights. I am not pleased.after leaving the dealer during the daylight hours, i later detected on the evening of friday, oct 28, that the headlights were not working. I recently within two weeks ago had replaced one of the front headlight bulbs that had burnt out, so i figured that couldn't be the problem.i eventually checked the fuses and they looked fine. I swapped them out for replacement fuses, but it didn't make a difference.i went online and saw from online discussions that there is a headlight switch issue that the nhtsa is investigating at this time. The issue with my 2002 honda crv and it's low beam headlights surely seems to be part of the problem that's being investigated. I plan to contact the dealer on monday morning (oct 31) to get my issue looked at, again. But, it won't be during the nighttime hours or when it's precipitating, since it's illegal to drive without my low beams on during those times. Updated 11/17/11 according to the service invoice, the headlight switch had an electrical failure. Updated 11/30/11
The contact owns a 2002 honda crv. The contact stated that after entering a residential garage, the low beam headlights failed. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the switch was defective and the connectors were found to be corroded. As a result, both components would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 158,000. Updated 04/10/12*lj
Dealer was unable to hook up wiring harness on tow bar that goes up to the motor home. Consumer feels it's unsafe to drive without tail lights on tow bar. Also, if a vehicle weighs over 1000 pounds, in some states, item that is being towed must have brakes. Brakes were not availble at time of purchase.this vehicle was purchsed with a contract agreement to be able to tow behind a motorhome.the dealer was unable to complete the agreement.consumer was informed by the dealer that the rear lights were not working as required and the braking system was not wired.the wire system is required to activate when the tow vehicle brakes.the manager told consumer that honda would not spend any more time or money on a proper installation.*jg1
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph with the air conditioner activated when suddenly, warm air began to circulate throughout the vents. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the air conditioner compressor would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. Also, the check engine light has been coming on and going off, since the vehicle was purchased in 2002. The dealer informed the consumer there was a crack at the top of the fuel tank. Updated 07/17/14updated 03/10/16.
My 2002 honda cr-v has a fuel filler defect which causes the "check engine" light to come on. Changes in temperature or other weather related factors causethe filler cap to loosen and the light comes on. Honda recommends manually tightening the cappast "several clicks" to ensure a tight seal after fueling. The cap loosens anyway accompanied by strong gasoline fumes from the loosened cap. Honda knows of the problem. They replaced the fuel cap twice and once gave me a $ 300 estimate to replace the plastic gas tank filler pipe which is apparently the root cause of the problem. Today was a warm day and the light was on all day as i drove. The issue is this: if the check engine light often comes on spuriously, a driver doesn't pay attention to what may be a legitimate warning for a serious engine problem that could have safety implications. In addition, the loose cap causes gasoline fumes to enter the passenger compartment. Have there been other complaints about the filler cap issue?
Engine light keeps coming on & then car will drive rough. I have taken it in 3 times already for same problem, they told me to make sure gas cap is on tight and not to over/under fill with gas i have been doing as told and the problem is still present for the 4th time. Car was purchased on august 2002.
My filler cap also loosens by itself and causes the check engine light to go on.i am on my 3rd cap and continue to have sporadic problems with it loosening on its own.when the check engine light goes on, i get out of the car and sure enough the cap is loose.it takes a couple of days for the computer to reset itself and the engine light to go off.very annoying.
I own a 2002 honda cr-v. The gas tank cap has caused my check engine light to come on several times in the past. Each time, i buy a new gas cap and the error goes away. I am on my 3rd gas cap and i'm getting a check engine light again. I will call honda to report this issue and to request a real "fix" to the problem. As stated by others, the check engine light is a warning to drivers. It's importance is watered down by spurious errors like this. Honda needs to address this.
My fuel gauge is not accurate:if the tank drops to half full, the gauge is unreliable and often registers more or less gas than there is.usually there is less gas than the gauge registers, but i've filled up the tank until the tank clicked, and the gauge still read 3/4 full.i've been browsing on some online forums, and this seems to be a common problem with the 2002 crv.on this site, it looks like 8 different people with 2002 honda crvs have posted the same complaint:http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tphioaurac0i3t5o3this is a safety hazard for me because i live in wi, where temperatures commonly reach below zero in the winter!i commute 50 minutes using a country road, and i could literally freeze if my gas gauge is unreliable, and i think that i have more gas than i have.(there are no public pay phones on my route, and there aren't always houses within walking distance.)this could, of course, also be a problem for anyone driving on the freeway who runs out of fuel due to a fault gauge/sending unit.i took it to a dealer in madison, wi, and the dealer said that the estimated cost was $450+ for parts and labor.help!do the right thing, honda, and issue a recall if this is a known problem. It does seem to be a flaw in the mass-produced component, not just individual quirk of one car/driver.
While driving, fuel pump was dislodged and came in contact with turning axle. Could have resulted in a fuel leak and vehicle fire. Contacted dealership.the bracket nearly cut through the plastic fuel canister.light contact with sand while driving vehicle on the beach displaced the fuel pump assembly rear ward into the rear axle.*jg
While driving away from a riverside campsite, tried to straddle some ruts on the access road.vehicle slipped into the ruts and bottomed out slightly, but i was still able to drive out and did not get stuck.the bracket directly behind the gas tank on the undercarriage, which holds fuel system related components, was almost ripped off by this minor contact.it is the lowest part of the undercarriage and very vulnerable to damage without any sort of protection.2 of 3 mounts were ripped loose, and the assembly was bent back to rub on the rear axle and hang down even lower. This problem was reported by other vr-v drivers who had to navigate deep snow and sand. Sensitive fuel system parts should not be vulnerable to damage in this way!vehicle is out of warranty.i will have a custom made skid plate and mounting bracket installed if honda doesn't offer to fix for free with a new, safer design.
Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 honda crv that i bought brand new have been occurring since august of 2002.the car was bought in july of 2002.the odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in august.the fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. Went out within 3-4 months.then major items which had to be replaced:differential, 2004(though still under warranty, honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007,driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, o2 sensor, 2009,driver's seat unstable since 2003,srs slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside.finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, i was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair.
In january of 2005 i ecnountered that my gas gauge intermittently does not go to full when i fill up the tank if the gas tank was 1/4 full or less. I brought the car into the honda dealership the first time and they could not find anything. I just got the car back yesterday, 3/23/2005, for the same problem and again nothing was done to fix the problem. My biggest concern is that the gauge will fail in the future with my daughter using this vehicle for college. I do not want her to run out of gas or have an accident on the highway if she runs out of gas due to a defective gas gauge reading problem.
The coated fuel line up near the fuel tank rusted from inside out yet the rest of the fuel line especially the part exposed to the road debris and salt was pristine condition.the fuel began spilling while driving and we noticed it when we went to park the car in the driveway - losing ~ 1 l/min..
When i turned ignition to start engine, the car suddenly started to rev erratically with rpm ranging up to 5k+. My foot was on the floor not on brake or gas pedal. Cruise control was off. Floor mat was far from gas pedall. The car was on park plus hand brake was on.my wife and i both were dumbfounded for couple of secs then i finally turned off the ignition.waited a couple of seconds and car restarted fine.incident did not recur.car was in garage.
Since i bought crv (used), in september 2011, my gas gauge has been inaccurate.
2002 honda cr-v.consumer writes in regards to vehicleelectrical problems .the consumer stated she would always put the keys in the seat, while at the gas station. The vehicle locked automatically if they keys were in the vehicle, but not in the ignition. The consumer stated she was locked out several times, just by laying the keys down.there was no signal or alert that the headlights were on, as she accidentally left them on. Also, the interior light would never come on, when she opened the door, the headlights were replaced, the seat belt would not retract. The air bag light illuminated. The consumer received a recall notice, regarding the issue. The dealer informed the consumer, she would have to pay $100 diagnosis fee, to determine, why the light was still on.
Door lock does not work with the remote or manual key. Door locks sporadically move up and down with out touching door lock switches. I spent $300.00 on genuine honda parts and had my mechanic install a newactuator and lock mechanism, and the problem is exactly the same.i want to take the car tohonda andask for a total reimbursement and a final repair. I am surprised there has not been a recall on this particular problem because of the number of complaints about the key locks on these models. A local television station ( with a problem solving segment recently covered this problem.) can you please help me in any way? thank you [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the front driver side door failed to open manually. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the door lock cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred two years after the repair. In addition, the key failed to turn in the ignition and remained stuck. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence where a private mechanic diagnosed that the entire ignition cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Purchased vehicle in 2008 driver's door lock would not would not unlock all doors. We were told that was normal. Now taking the honda cr-v in to find out dealer recommend replacing the driver's door lock cylinder and actuator at the cost of $400.00. This was a problem a purchase of truck.
In 2010 the locks on the two front doors and left rear passenger door stopped responding to the electronic signal at about the same time.all three actuators were replaced.the vehicle has not had extensive usage since then but in december 2013 problems developed again with the locks -with two new doors and one repeating door. The rear right passenger door lock, the trunk/hatch lock, and for a second time the driver's front door do not work correctly. The rear right passenger door has no external key lock and does not respond to the electronic signal. It must be locked and unlocked manually from the interior of the car using the lock button on that door.the driver's door responds to an electronic signal but a key cannot be inserted into the lock.the trunk lock does not respond to a signal and a key can only be inserted into the lock if the car is locked and then unlocked via the driver's side control button located on the door. It seems unusual that all three doors would begin experiencing difficulties at the same time - with one door that had already had an actuator replaced being one of the three problem doors. Why can the control lock button on the driver's door affect the ability to place a key in the trunk/hatch lock? hashonda issued a safety bulletin or recall on this issue?there seems to be a lot of lock concerns being posted on car forums concerning the crv lock issue.is this a safety issue?
Driving at dark, 60 mph, the hood of my cr-v flew open, breaking the windshield, denting and destroying the roof and hood and hinges.
Afriend told me the hood looked like it wasn't latched on my 2002 honda crv.i checked it and it was completely open.i could pick up the hood and look under it.i had not opened it since my oil change at the dealer a couple of months before.i'm the only driver and i always keep it locked so no one else could have gotten to the latch.i took it to the dealer and they say nothing is wrong with it.now i'm almost afraid to drive it.i had been on the freeway just before it was noticed.
We own a 2002 honda cr-v (vin [xxx]) with 30,000 miles on it. My wife - who is the primary driver of the car - filled up the windshield washer reservoir on monday (12/1/03) afternoon. This is routine; she checks the oil on occasion as well, and has done so with every vehicle we have ever owned. As she has done on many other occasions, she dropped the hood closed from the height of about a foot, and used two hands to try to pull up on it. There was no play. She visually checked the fender-hood fit on both sides and it was correctly positioned. A few hours later she was driving at fifty miles an hours when the hood popped fully open. Fortunately she was able to stop without further incident. We contacted the nearest honda dealer - bedard brothers of cheshire ma; they examined the vehicle and although the mechanic said he thought that there was excessive play in the latch mechanism, they refused to acknowledge any mechanical defect or design flaw. In other words, it was not their problem. I wrote a letter to honda but they stonewalled me by saying that the dealer had found no problems. I was told to take it to a different dealer, but this would mean wasting most of a day since there are no other dealers close by.moreover, i am not convinced that i will hear anything different from another dealer.i am convinced, however, that the hood was shut as securely as it was humanly possible to determine, and that there is a design flaw in the crv hood latch mechanism.

While i was driving my 2002 honda crv on the highway about 65 mile/hr, the hood was popped up suddenly without any warning sign.the hood even flipped over more than 90 degrees and hit the windshield.the hood smashed into windshield so powerfully, the windshield was totally damaged.the impact was so strong, all items inside the car was flying freely inside the car, such as sunglasses, garage garage door opener, parking decal.my eye was hit by garage door opener, i lost my left eyes vision temporary. The worst part is the whole front window view was blocked out entirely by the hood.my carlost control on highway with 65 miles speed for a few seconds, it was the most scary moment in my whole life.i was very lucky to get the car under control. It is either the defect part or inferior design to cause the hood to hit windshield.this problem shouldnt happen and it is very dangerous and fatal,i hope your office can take action asap to avoid any death due to this problem.

Car stalls when you brake to stop or if stopped will stall when you begin to accelerate. Also will stall when moving the drive indicator from drive to reverse or reverse to drive when stopped. Car stalls when making slow turns. Stalls are totally unpredictable. Honda states that it can't fix the problem without a fault code. Stalling is a serious issue that can cause an accident.
Concerned about the three safety recall notices on the vehicle. *la the recalls were concerning thethrottle cable, shift cable, and ignition switch key interlock.the consumer doesn't feel safe nor does she feel that she made the correct choice in purchasing the vehicle.*ph
Prior to turning over 50,000 miles, the transmission failed. While driving down the interstate, the vehicle shuddered and began making a whine. Pulled over immediately and heard the sound of metal pieces rolling around in the transmission no matter what gear vehicle was in. No warning light indication had occurred. Had the vehicle towed to honda dealer and mechanic stated that the torque converter had failed and the transmission needed to be replaced. Manufacture warranty had expired, estimated cost was 3500 for part and 700 for labor. I feel it should be covered by honda since a failure should not have occured this soon in the lifespan of the vehicle.
Ignition was accidentally to be turned off and the key removed with the automatic transmission still in drive on 2 occasions up to date.*la
Twice in the first 6 weeks i have reached for the radio controls and have accidently gotten the sleeve of my coat caught on the gear shifter causing me to shift into neutral from drive. My concern is if this could further and put the vehicle into reverse. This could cause and accident withinjuries as well as doing damage to the transmission.
This is the 3rd recall on my 2002 honda cr-v.the 1st was for the power-train-automatic transmission, the 2nd for electrical system-ignition switch, and now it's for the cr-v a/t shift cable.the whole car seems faulty.what are my rights as a consumer?shouldn't they just give me a new car?*la
My 2002 honda crv has only been serviced by honda dealerships.all maintanence has been performed according to their schedule, yet just after 50,000 miles the dealer says my transmission needs replacement.i was driving at 30 mph and accelerated to pass a car when the vehicle violently shuddered.i pulled over immediately to check the car and found no leaking fluid, no warning lights, but the sound of metal pieces rolling around the transmission when i depress the gas...even with the vehicle in "park."after so many recalls on this vehicle, not to mention other problems that ocurred and were repaired during the warranty, i do not feel confident in my purchase of this vehicle.if a transmission failure of this type were to occur at high speeds, loss of control could have resulted in a crash.thank goodness traffic was light when this happened!

Problems concerning with a/t shift cable.*mr consumer question whether or not dirt could cause the cable to slip, rather than the corrosion concept identified in the recall. Consumer believes the park gear should not have allowed her vehicle to move while in park. Consumer first experienced this failure when she pulled into her garage, and parked the vehicle. After she exited the vehicle, she seen it roll backwards. She jumped into the vehicle and applied the brakes. Unfortunately, the moving door jammed into the side of the garage. She pulled it away from the garage wall and parked it again in its original place. At this point she noticed the door and the garage sustained damage. In addition, consumer noted the garage has a little slope. The next day, the serviceman knew what had happened when the consumer went the get the door repaired. Consumer was told to order the parts and she did. The door had scratches, dents and damages to the vinyl molding. Consumer was informed by others to check for recalls. She did find that there was a recall for this defect.consumer was told to use the park brake until the recall was performed. She requested that honda absorb the cost to restore the vehicle in the "as new" state it was in since the damage was due to a mechanical failure.*ph

While i was shopping, my parked crv popped out of gear, going from park to neutral.it then rolled backwards into another parked vehicle.i left my crv in park, and it is impossible to have removed the key unless it was in park.honda readily agrees this to be the case.honda has torn my car apart, searching for the cause, and come up with nothing.subsequently, i have seen many news reports of honda's "popping" out of gear, and i am afraid.i drive a treacherous mountain/canyon road to and from work each day; i cannot afford to have this happen on that road, for all reports indicate that the driver loses control of the vehicle when it happens.i am thankful that my crv was parked when it popped out of gear.
The gear shifter became hard to shift at times, the consumer was told to make sure the brake was pressed hard enough when the gear was placed into park or being taken out of park.three weeks later the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle rolled while still in park, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the consumer was told the part was exposed to elements which caused it to rust.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. After parking the vehicle, it was impossible to shift the gear lever out of park.

I have a 2002 honda cr-v. I always have 2 car seats in the rear of it. Just yesterday, the seat belt buckle, the part that attaches to the floor, broke during a hard stop, sending one child into the rear of the drivers seat. The internal parts of the seat belt buckle is what came undone or broke. The child turned out to be fine, but just scared. This car is only 7.5 years old, and i don't believe this should be happening. I still remember the old days and cars whereas thebuckles were made of metal. Every buckle in this car is plastic! i'm a pretty good size guy and i just don't feel that my drivers side would hold me in if i was ever in a front end collision. What if that child hadhis window down? he could have been ejected out of it. A front end collision could've meant a broken neck or something? i haven't had a chance to see our honda dealer about this yet, but i feel it is something that needs to be addressed. Thank you for taking the time to check on this problem.
I purchased my 2002 honda cr-v used from a local honda dealer.the driver seat rocked back and forth from the date of my purchase in 2003.a mechanic at the honda dealer on a routine oil change said that it was broken, and that it would be a $300 plus repair.i haven't done it, because i figured for a car only having 20,000 miles on itshould be under warranty, and they should have caught it when it went through the "certified" warranty program.my seat belt on the driver seat won't lock, unless i repeatedly put the clip in and out, and then it will finally engage after 8 to 10 tries.again, it has been a problem since i purchased it, and i believe that it should have been taken care of in the "certified" warranty program.of course, now it is 10 years later, and i only have 80,000 miles on the car, and since these things were present when i purchased the car, i didn't realize that these issues should not have existed.it appears that these are issues that many other honda owners are experiencing as well, so that would suggest manufacturer defect.

Purchased the car in 2002.starting in 2005, the seat belt wouldn't engage into the buckle.had to force and force the buckle in for the buckle to lock in the insert.recently, the srs light came on.honda tells me that the seat belt must be replaced because the air bags may not deploy upon impact but there is no warranty.an independent mechanic tells me that the seat belt may in fact be warranted, but honda made no mention of that.
I have a 2002 honda crv with 60,000 miles and i was driving with my air conditioning running and came to a stop light. As soon as i pulled away the car starting making a very loud clanking noise. I pulled over to try to figure it out and realized that when i turned off the air it stopped. I drove by the honda dealership immediately and was told that the sound was from the failed air compressor that we about $1200-2500 to replace. I have called american honda motor company and they refused any goodwill assistance.
Ever since i have had my car the headlights burn out within 3-4 months. Change one, the other goes out. Averaging 2000.00 over the lifetime of owning my car. The front drivers seat's bolt broke...the service manager said it was bc of weight...i weigh 135# i had to pay to have my seat fixed. Not my fault!! my seat belt will not buckle until the 4-5 try..it keeps on bouncing out of the clicker.
Consumer was involved in an accident, and the seat belts failed to restrain him.
The srs light came on in my 2002 honda crv which has only 35000 miles.i took it to the dealer who informed me that the srs must have went bad and it would cost $700 to fix.i asked if the light on could be caused by the frontpassenger seat belt locking up regularly which temporarily does not allow you to get enough seat belt to actually reach the buckle and the dealer said that might be the problem but i still would need to replace the whole srs system.i asked if this was a recall and he said not at this time.i now have checked the recalls and see that the seat belts as well as the air bags have been recalled and i have not been notified of eitherby the dealer and i would think this would be immediately corrected especially since the srs light came on which is directly related to both of these safety devices.

The drivers seat is loose. It rocks back and forth when driving and when still. It is not solidly installed and can be shaken to the point where it looks like the seat can actually detach from its mounting. This is definitely a defect because there are many other people who are experiencing these same symptoms in their 2002 honda cr-vs.

I purchased a used crv in 2006 and notice that the drivers seat rocks back and forth.i was told at that time that there was nothing that they could do about it.i re-mentioned it every time i brought the car for service to no avail. I finally searched online and saw they offered a fix under a tsb but when i just brought it in they said that i would have to pay for the repair..which i cannot afford to do.i get whiplash every day as the seat rocks back and forth and feel that in an accident that the seat may not hold.

Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 honda crv that i bought brand new have been occurring since august of 2002.the car was bought in july of 2002.the odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in august.the fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. Went out within 3-4 months.then major items which had to be replaced:differential, 2004(though still under warranty, honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007,driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, o2 sensor, 2009,driver's seat unstable since 2003,srs slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside.finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, i was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair.
Dt*: the contact stated the driver's seat is loose at the base.there is a nhtsa recall, # 02v251000, regarding the seats. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the vin.the vehicle was taken to the local dealership for repair of the seat anchor.
I just bought this vehiclefew months ago. Noticed as soon as i sat in the driver seat, it was very loose and wobbly. The salesman informed me it had not been installed properly at the factory, and the bolts had came loose or broke, but the bolts do not line up with the holes in the seat to hold it in place. I read in the recalls, that this issue was only in 2 vehicles and they had been fixed. There are definitely more than 2 affected, including mine.
My 2002 honda crv's front drivers seat has been rocking or moving slightly as i drive around. I went to get my crv inspected in virginia as is required every year, but was rejected. He said the seat has to be fixed, it rocks. It seems to me if it failed to pass the virginia state inspection, then it is a safety hazard. I went on the honda owners club forum and saw that other owners had the same problem. I called the honda recall center, but there has been no recalls nor campaigns regarding loose/rocking driver seats. It must be a safety issue if it failed the state inspection. I'd like for honda to fix my seat so it does not rock with out charge. I have owned hondas for about 25 years, now.
I purchased my 2002 honda cr-v used from a local honda dealer.the driver seat rocked back and forth from the date of my purchase in 2003.a mechanic at the honda dealer on a routine oil change said that it was broken, and that it would be a $300 plus repair.i haven't done it, because i figured for a car only having 20,000 miles on itshould be under warranty, and they should have caught it when it went through the "certified" warranty program.my seat belt on the driver seat won't lock, unless i repeatedly put the clip in and out, and then it will finally engage after 8 to 10 tries.again, it has been a problem since i purchased it, and i believe that it should have been taken care of in the "certified" warranty program.of course, now it is 10 years later, and i only have 80,000 miles on the car, and since these things were present when i purchased the car, i didn't realize that these issues should not have existed.it appears that these are issues that many other honda owners are experiencing as well, so that would suggest manufacturer defect.
A state safety inspector advised that the driver's side seat is coming loose and could completely break loose in an accident. He said if it gets any looser it will not pass a safety inspection (virginia). I have owned cars for over forty years and have never heard of a car seat that wasn't secured to the body of the car for the life of the car. This specific defect, relating to honda crv's is broadly reported on the internet. Should a car seat potentially breaking loose in an accident not be subject to a recall?
Driver seat bushing, seat rocks since new, with in first month of owning dealer notified, they said the rocking was normal. Found nhtsa cmoain #02v251000, i was never notified.

Shortly after we purchased our honda 2002 cr-v in october 2014 we noticed the driver's seat was loose: it actually rocks a bit: and upon investigation found that the bolts securing it to the floor could not be tightened without removing the entire seat. The seat is still loose.more recently we learned that there had been a recall, nhtsa campaign id number: 02v251000. The defect can lead to the seat failing to remain anchored to the floor in a crash. The information on the nhtsa website says that only two [sic] vehicles were affected by the defect, and that the owners were notified by telephone.we would like to know whether the recall applies to our vehicle.how should we proceed?

The driver's seat rocks back and forth during normal driving when stopping or starting.additionally, i found a screw loosen under the seat area.
The driver's seat is loose, due to defective seat-track parts.this causes the seat to rock back and forth.in an accident, this could cause an exaggerated movement that the occupant would encounter, in my opinion. The seat rocks back and forth approximately 1/2 of an inch (estimate).i have removed the seat and discovered that metal bushings that are part of links that connect the upper seat track assembly to the lower seat track assembly are broken and worn, thus allowing too much play in the pivot bolts.the current mileage on the car is approx. 162000.this problem first started occurring around 50000 miles.when i went to get a state inspection last year, the inspector noticed it and said it should be fixed.that is what i am doing now.
The driver's side seat bracket failed and would allow movement as you drove. A safety concern for us. A $314.07 bracket was replaced.

I had been driving for approximately 30 minutes.as i drove along i-575 - a 4-lane highway - i noticed a kind of power surge from my engine.my speedometer registered 80 mph!i applied the brakes but was unable to slow the car more than 20-30 mph, and then it started to creep back up.i exited at that point, knowing i needed help.i was still going much too fast.i looked for a service station and not only was there none, within seconds i was faced with a red light with 4 lanes ofcross traffic (george busby parkway) - i couldn't stop the car!so i took it off the road in a controlled crash, going over the curb, 6 or so feet of grass, a huge hedge, and crashed into a very tall, mature crape myrtle.thank god the car finally stopped.i was fortunate the crape myrtle consisted of multiple trunks rather than being an oak or similar.the crape myrtle managed to dissipate the impact of my car and i only sustained a broken wrist.the air bag did not deploy.my insurance company is charging me with driving out of control!!!!

When backing up and pressing the brakes slightly there is a loud clunk noise. The noise can be heard from outside the vehicle and it appears to come from the front brakes.we took it into the dealer and they adjusted the brake clips, the noise was gone for about a day and then it returned.

While the engine is under load in a 2002 crv-ex honda, if the driver pulses the brake pedal twice rapidly there is dramatic brake failure.in a panic stop, if the driver presses on both the gas pedal and the brake pedal in this timing, there would be no braking power.if the driver suggested the brakes failed, there would be no other evidence to support the claim without performing this test as the brakes will thereafter perform normally.i have demonstrated the failure to honda mechanics with a privately owned car and they duplicated the occurrence in a dealer car.they have researched the honda technical databases and could not find any references to the brake failure or a way to fix it.
2002 honda crv - rotors need to be replaced very frequently due to warping which causes vibrations in the steering wheel when applying the brakes.my crv has had its rotors replaced four times and the vehicle has 90,000 miles.it is not driven in harsh conditions.
Abs light came on intermittently in 2002 honda crv.honda wanted $500 to replace abs control unit.i called honda customer service, and honda agreed to fix the problem for $100 deductible.

Dealer was unable to hook up wiring harness on tow bar that goes up to the motor home. Consumer feels it's unsafe to drive without tail lights on tow bar. Also, if a vehicle weighs over 1000 pounds, in some states, item that is being towed must have brakes. Brakes were not availble at time of purchase.this vehicle was purchsed with a contract agreement to be able to tow behind a motorhome.the dealer was unable to complete the agreement.consumer was informed by the dealer that the rear lights were not working as required and the braking system was not wired.the wire system is required to activate when the tow vehicle brakes.the manager told consumer that honda would not spend any more time or money on a proper installation.*jg1
Problem started approx 7500 miles.i was getting loud popping noises from front and rear brakes.occurred when backing up / moving forward ( changing directions while applyingbrakes.) every day got worse, you could hear noise from a distance of +100'.honda has a bulletin on this problem, however, they are down playing it.they state it is a 'clicking noise'.it is not a 'clicking noise', i have a loud popping, metal to metal noise. Took to dealer several times.dealer determined it was 'defective brake pads' and my cr-v noise was louder than most. Dealer replaced brake pads (dealer work order inv#w70499) you could seewhere the metal tips of the pads were banging back and forth against the caliper brackets. I met with american honda jul 02 2002.in so many words he said honda is still looking into the matter, since the 2002 model is totally new, it could be that the brake pads are too small or the calipers too big,something is definitely wrong.american honda rep. Said they are very concerned about this matter, but at this time, replacing the brake pads are the only thing they can think of to do, hoping that the replacement pads are a fraction larger than the original pads. The dealer, american hondaand i do not know if the problem has been solved.it is a noise not detected when the vehicle is first purchased, it occurs when you get some mileage on the brake pads.please advise more information andcheck into this defect before there is a serious problem.
Calipers locked up causing replacement of complete brake system. Calipers, pads and rotors on all four wheels. 17,000 original miles at time of incident.
I own a 2002 honda cr-v which has a disk brake defect.all 4 disk brake calipers are developing corrosion inside of the pistions.the dealer replaced the rear pads and rotors because they had worn and frozen to the wear indicators after 13,000 miles.they stated that they were "insufficiently lubricated" from the factory and added more grease to take care of the binding condition.the front ones are now showing the same signs of failure after 15,000 miles.is there a way to persue that the dealer replace all 4 brake calipers due to the corrosion defect?my concern is that the pistons inside of the calipers are rusting through and may fail, causing accident/injury.
I purchased a "certified honda" vehicle, a 2002 honda crv in june 2005. I was told that the brakes, both front & rear passed pennsylvania inspection but did not pass honda's certified inspection so they were replaced to make the vehicle a "certified honda". (they were replaced on 6/1/05) i have had the vehicle for 1 year, took it for inspection on 6/12/06 to find out that the rear brakes are down to a 1/b or far below passing - completely gone! i have driven the vehicle under 7000 in the year that i have owned it. I called the original (and only other owner) of the vehicle. He told me that he had the same problem when the vehicle was under 1 year old. He was told that honda knew that there is some kind of defect in the design that causes the rear brakes to wear extremely fast in the 2002 & 2003 crvs, especially in the northern states because of our winters. He was told that the brakes need to be greased to help prevent this- something i was not told when i purchased the vehicle. When i asked the service mgr at the honda dealer about this, he said they suggest it be done every 7500 miles. I have not even driven 7000 miles on the car. If honda is aware of this problem with the rear brakes, why hasn't there been a recall?? are they waiting for the brakes to fail and kill someone before they do something??

When applying pressure to the brake pedal a "clanking" noise is heard. Dealer has to replace the clips that hold the brake pads in place. Approximately two months after purchasing the vehicle consumer heard and felt a loud clunk noise in the brakes. Dealership advised this was a "normal characteristic" of the brakes. Now a year and a half later, they state there is a "fix" for the problem. Now they use clips to hold the caliper pads in place to keep them from moving. Consumer questioned if this was normal why is there fix for it.*ph
A few months after buying the cr-v i have noticed a strange clacking noise around the front wheels mainly when slowly bumping into speed-bumps or during some sudden low-speed braking. I have reported the strange sound twice to honda service personnel during maintenance service visits and they have told me that the sound is characteristic to this model without attempting to troubleshoot the issue or file it into the car service report.

2002 honda crv:i was making a turn from a stop light, into the freeway on ramp, and i heard a loud gear dragging sound from the engine compartment.i lost power steering and the car and it was pulling to the right.i immediately attempted to pull over just as i was ascending on to the on ramp, however the engine stalled and smoke was visible coming from the engine bay before i could safely pull over to the shoulder.i had to put the gear on neutral and push the car to the shoulder.it was nerve racking with my wife and two kids in the car.i noticed that fluid was leaking underneath the car.i inspected all the fluid levels and realized that it was from an air conditioner compressor failure, which caused the accessory belt to drag and stall the engine.the vehicle restarted but ac was not functional.
This is to describe a safety issue we discovered with the 2002 honda.we experienced an incident while driving the vehicle the steering wheel suddenly locked up and forced the car to drive into a guard rail.the vehicle was totaled and my wife is now left with shoulder and back problems.it happened only days after a local honda dealer had serviced the vehicle to resolve the takata airbag recall.the car was being driven down an off-ramp and suddenly the steering locked up in a hard right turn which forced the vehicle into a concrete guard rail.the car is now totaled and we were without sufficient insurance to replace the vehicle.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
I am 2nd owner of this 2002 honda crv-ex made in great britain for our left hand drive (right side of road) american market.current mileage is approximately 149,500. Recent 4 wheel alignment to correct front tire wear and return to manufacturer specifications has resulted in violent pull/torque steer to right upon acceleration. Driving at cruising speed requires steering car to left to control constant pull to right.this is not a road crown issue. I see from my own internet searches that this is a very common issue for numerous years of this vehicle, but i have not yet found any complaints on file here. Many consumer stories found elsewhere document that a honda dealer won't even consider assisting this problem if the vehicle is out of warranty (like mine...).even so, many other stories have the dealer saying that there is nothing that can be done if the alignment meets the vehicle's published alignment specifications. I am trying to get a copy of a honda tsb that might address this problem, but access to honda manufacturer websites is blocked on accessing tsb's and even this usgov service appears to require paying for such critical information.i will keep looking and hope that there is a definitive correction to this dangerous vehicle behavior and i hope nhtsa will take honda to task on this issue for many crv owners.i suggest nhtsa do its own google search for this problem as a starting point. Thanx!!
While drivingover 60 mph steering whee pulled towards the right, making it difficult to control vehicle.
We bought this car in march, 2013. Now in 2014, we noticed the ac wasn't working we attempted to recharge it with freon, but i was told the compressor needed to be replaced. The compressor was replace, the condenser, lines, ex valve, even a sensor. Pretty much all the ac system has been replace. Now we have noticed that once the compressor is on. It causes the engine to stall while driving or making turns. It feels as if the compressor will cause the engine to turn off. As if not bad enough once the car is on park with ac on the compressor will shut-off and the ac will start blowing a humid-smelly air. Once it does this, the compressor's emergency valve will open and flush some freon. It is a very serious safety hazard. I don't feel safe driving the car with my family in it. Specially now that i've read about all the other recalls and complains. Doing my research now (which is too late), i found that honda was sued due to this issue. Ac compressor malfunction is to be found in 02-04 honda crvs. Our crv has been back at the mechanic 3 times the last month, and yet the issue cant be resolve. The mechanic says it has to do with the way the system was design. Alternator and compressor share the same band. I'm afraid and concerned that at somepoint both things will give-out while driving.
While driving the vehicle at any speed, th steering wheel will pull right or left. Dealer has inspected the vehicle and could not duplicate or correct the problem. Please provide further information. Ts
Dear nhtsa i don't know how to approach you with this because i have never done anything like this before. I am leasing a 2002 crv honda and have been very happy with it until today.while i was coming through my apartment complexa loud crack came from under the vehicle on the passenger side.the vehicle jolted to a stop and i got out of the car to look around the area of where the noise came from. The passenger side wheel appeared to look like it had separated from the axel or something. Then i looked further under the vehicle and saw that and arm or rod to the wheel had broke in half. There was an additional piece that broke as well that appears to take part in the securing of the arm or rod. I am reporting this because i fee there is a huge safety hazard regarding lives who presently own vehicle to as well as myself i amfortunate that i was only going between ten to fifteen miles per hour and was not on the freeway at a faster speed which would have resulted in a fatality or even more fatalities depending on the traffic at the time.
Problems with mice in passenger compartment.consumer has caught a total of 8 mice.*mrthe consumer had run off the road and almost rolled over due to a mouse running across the consumers lap.the consumer previously caught 8 mice on the glue boards in the consumers passenger compartment.the consumer requested the dealer to fix the problem but they refused.*scc
Driving at dark, 60 mph, the hood of my cr-v flew open, breaking the windshield, denting and destroying the roof and hood and hinges.
Last night around 8pm my husband and i were leaving a clients house in leesport. We were going south on rt 183. We were driving appoximatly 20 mph. With no warning at all, a big deer jumped and slammed into the drivers side. Hitting the front side of the vehicle.we pulled off of the road immediately. The fluid from radiator was leaking out.
Car in driveway. Not driven for 3 days, just not needed but working. During day, car caught on fire. Fire inspectors was unable to determine the cause due to the extent of damage. They believed it could have been electrical. Fire concentrated in dash and engine area. Windshield blew during fire. Have owned this car since new, for 17 years. 140,000 miles.
2002 honda cr-v driver side door does not open with remote or from inside with electric switch.door can only be open manually.this creates safety issues both when approaching the car from outside and inside if one gets trapped.
I was driving down a highway in annapolis, maryland at 55 mph and the entire sunroof of my 2002 honda crv suddenly shattered into thousands of tiny glass fragments that showered down upon my daughter (in the front passenger seat) and i.nothing had fallen onto it from above, and there were no prior cracks or defects in the glass.there was a loud noise as this occurred, suggesting the double pane glass simply "exploded".
The vehicle started to emit loud popping noises form the brakes in any direction the vehicle was moving.the dealership explains this a as normal.also the rear tailgate glass wouldn't lock.*jg

One stabilizer link is broken while the other is loose.
Dt:terrible vibration when foot is on the brakes anduponstopping at a stop sign or in traffic. Tookvehicle to the dealership 3 times, it has been checked, and they couldn't find thecause of the problem. The tires were rotated yearly.vibration is in the steering wheel, and is mostly affected when stopping. The dealer has taken vehiclefor a test drive, and put it on the machine. But they still can't figure it out. Itcauses the driver's hands to fall asleep when the car is stopped.consumer has tried to have this corrected, but it's still not working.
From the time i bought my crv i notice that the steering wheel pull to the right at all time. I send it back 3 times at the honda dealer and they check the alignment and it is perfect, they switches the tires and it still the same, they told me that it is natural to all crv due to the tork drive system design. The last time i send it back to my dealer he drives it and told me that there is nothing wrong with my car.i took a video with me and show it many time to the manager of honda, the crv pull to the right and the manager told me that i am not the only one who complain about it.i could not trust to drive this dangerous car with my 9 month old son.
The right front lower control arm broke during driving. The car body collapsed on the front right side and it was extremely difficult to maneuver the vehicle to safety. The 2006 honda cr-v was recalled for the exact same issue! please be wary, there is a possible manufacturer defect here.

Honda has instructed their tech reps to adjust the alignment, it still pulls to the right.honda insists that this is due to pitch in the road.it is not consistent with test vehicles i have driven.
Crv noticeably & continuously pulls to the right when driving at constant or various speeds& road conditions. This problem has been occurring since i took delivery of the vehicle. This 'pull' is not the initial torque pull that is common to frontwheel drive vehicles. The honda dealer recognizes problem & using solutions made by honda tech line could not fix problem after several service attempts. Although crv has been aligned to honda specs (3 times), had the front tires switched & eventually had all 4 tires replaced, the car still pulls to the right in 3-4 seconds. The honda spec is 6 seconds.this car is unsafe to drive because i have to always firmly pull on the left side of steering wheel to keep the car in its driving lane. Honda has stated to me that the car is safe to drive but sensitive to road crown.
Rear suspension arm fell off of the vehicle as i was backing up. If i had been traveling at any road or highway speed feel i would have been seriously hurt or killed. The rubber bushing that holds the arm is held up by 2 pins which are attached to the unibody by one bolt each and as the rubber moves it loosened the retaning pins which bent due to the looseness of the bolts and that they are not one solid through pin. As the rubber starts to age i believe many of these cr-v's will be responsible for a multitude of injuries and deaths. I have digital pictures of the failure, i also have recorded conversations with my honda rep. I also have the old parts if you would like to examine them.my honda rep, who was rude and condescending, first told me that honda would fix the cr-v and less than a week later said that i should contact my insurance company. When farmers insurance adjuster looked at the cr-v i was told that there was no external damage and that it was equipment failure.i am concerned that other people will be hurt due to this very stealth design flaw.
While driving the right front lower control arm suddenly broke. The car body collapsed on the right front side and was only maneuvered to safety with extreme difficulty.
The car started making a loud dragging sound when i made a u-turn to the left only. I have taken the car to the dealer several times and the third time they were finally able to figure out the problem.the mechanics said that the front fender was pressing on the tires when i turned.the sound disapeared few days and then returned, but was more subtle. It's a pain to hear that sound and not know what's wrong with it.in addition, the loud clicking sound that the tires make when i step on the brakes is irritating.
While driving 55 mph steering wheel vibrated. This caused the vehicle to wander from side to side.consumerdrovevehicle to the dealer for analysis, and mechanic noticed that both frontal tires needed to be replaced, and a wheel alignment was necessary.
The contact owns a 2002 honda crv.while driving 55 mph, the tire detached from the vehicle.the contact's vehicle struck another vehicle as a result.the vehicle was towed to his residence where he noticed that a spring rod failed and caused the tire to fold.there were no injuries.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vin was unknown.the failure and current mileages were 100,000.
Creaking/popping noise when turning into parking area, driveway,backing in/out, occurs at low speeds - took to dealer - they heard noise, however, could not find a solution to correct the problem -with our description, an independent ase mechanic said could be broken bushing, metal to metal. He also said even if you sprayed with silicone, it would not do any good.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.while driving 15 mph, without warning, the front axle of her vehicle broke.honda advised the contact that she would have to pay $6,000 for the damage since there were no related recalls.the failure mileage was 43,197 and the current mileage was 43,000.
Rear suspension arm mounting bushing is inadequate and caused the arms flat end to lock into the asphalt when it broke free from its split pin restrants while i was backing up. Had i been traveling at any speed this failure would have most likely caused the vehicle to vault and flip or rip off the rear wheel assembily.
Left rear tire blew out on highway at 70mph, driver lost control of vehicle and it flipped and rolled multiple times.passenger air bag deployed (no passenger in vehicle) but driver air bag failed to deploy.driver had broken bones, cuts and abrasions.deployment of driver air bag would likely have reduced injuries to driver.
While traveling on the highway, the right front tire blewout, causing the driver to lose control of her vehicle.the vehicle went into the median and became airborne (rolling over several times) about 4-5 more times on the ground, hit a semi-truck traveling on the opposite side of the road, finally coming to a rest.also, with the force of the impact on the sides of the vehicle, particularly the driver side, it would seem to be strong enough to activate the side airbags, yet the saftey feature did not perform, bridgestone dueler h/t. *scc
While driving at highway speed.consumer heard a loud noise. Driver pulled over, and noticed the rear passenger side tire center was completely gone.

Sun visor detaches on drivers side for no apparent reason.all 3 times visor was replaced by various honda dealers (we moved since 1s t occurence) at no charge.it did not cause an accident, but could have if visor detached while drivng at a higher speed or in traffic, as the visor pops off and hits the driver.

While passing another vehicle driving under the speed limit (25 mph in a 45 mph zone). I accelerated to pass, my car began to speed faster and faster without me being able to control or stop the vehicle.both feet were slammed on the brake pedal but we reached 70mph, but i couldn't stop the car. I pulled the emergency brake and yet the car continued. We rode on both the brake pedal and emergency brake for at least a mile. It only slowed down a little, but i was able to drive on the shoulder and luckily didn't come to any stop signs or traffic lights.i was finally able to stop my vehicle n front of a restaurant by turning the ignition off, while still moving. With the car finally stopped, i put the car in park and immediately checked to make sure there was nothing obstructing the pedal causing it to accelerate.there was nothing. Nothing appeared obviously wrong under the hood, except a strong burning smell from the brakes. I turned the ignition on while in park and the speedometer went to 140 mph, the rpms red lined (without pushing the break or gas pedal). I turned the car off immediately. We then put the car in neutral and rolled it into the restaurants parking lot. I called aaa to have a tow truck bring the vehicle to a local mechanic.luckily, i was able to stop the vehicle before any person was injured, killed or damaged property.the mechanic contacted me and recommended that he not touch it and to have honda pick it up and take it back to the dealership for their mechanics look at it in case it was a manufacturer's defect.i went to the honda dealer in person and spoke to the service manager, he was visibly alarmed by the events that happened on sunday.he said that he would check the vehicle for any issues.dealer picked up the vehicle from mechanic.the honda dealer said they looked at the cr-v and couldn't find anything.

There was a loud rattling noise coming from my air conditioner. My husband took a look at it.when he turned the air conditioner on and went around to the front of the car.the ball bearings in my compressor failed and the compressor exploded.shards of metal flew from under the car. From the research i have done there have been a lot of honda crvs doing the same.if anyone was standing near the car at the time of explosion, they could have been hurt.
Ignition cylinder. If key is removed it will not allow you to turn the key to start the car when re-inserted. This problem has left my family stranded. Thankfully after an hour of playing with the key i was able to get it started..cannot remove key until i have the money to fix it, hence not being able to lock the doors which is a huge security issue.
I called honda about my air condtioning system and did as they said. I brought my car to an accredited honda dealership and had it diagnosed (which i had to pay out of my own pocket). They quoted me $4,000. I contacted honda usa and after three month i finally heard back from them, i informed them that i was not the first to have this problem, that i had gone online and found that i was not the only honda owner who have had there air conditioning system break. The honda representative told me that they can not go by what i read on the internet. Which is true to a point but i think they had have many complaints about this problem already because the representative use the same description i have read about the air conditioning unit, which was "air conditioning unit has cracked causing shards of metal to plug up the unit, causing a complete replacement of the entire air conditioning unit. Honda usa quoted me $3,991 to fix my a/c with a deadline of 60 days to accept or they would recind the "discount" offer. I know a/c problems is not a safety issue but i feel that honda knew or knows about this problem and should recall or show there loyal owners that they care. Until such time i amnow a former honda customer.
When breaking to a stop the car suddenly accelerates. It has happened to me three times in 20,000 miles.

The vehicle did not slow when applying the brakes upon approaching a stop sign. The drivers foot was off the gas pedal and on the brake pedal, but the vehicle continued to power forward. Not sure if the brakes were at fault, the driver stopped vehicle by putting the auto transmission into park to avoid going past the stop sign, entering a county highway and being broadsided by oncoming traffic. The engine speed then rose to about 5000 rpm, though the vehicle was at rest, in park, and the accelerator pedal was not being touched. A witness sought to lend some help and suggested that the continually racing engine was perhaps due to a stuck throttle, though a quick look under the hood did not reveal any obvious problem. After several minutes of the engine racing at about 5000 rpm while in park, the driver turned off the ignition and then restarted the engine. The engine continued to race. Only after the third or fourth cycle of turning the engine off and on, and pumping and jiggling the accelerator pedal, did the engine rpms return to normal, allowing the vehicle to be driven to a nearby honda dealer. The next day, the service department returned the vehicle to the driver saying that they inspected the throttle cable and cruise control, test drove it for 3 miles, but could not find any problems. The behavior of this 2002 honda cr-v seems very similar to that outlined by odi id numbers 10073104, 10127008, 10048024, 10083184 & 10055124.

I responded to a recall notice for the airbag inflator. I had noticed, immediately thereafter, that my horn and cruise control is inoperable. I contacted service advisor who asked to bring the car back in. She agreed that the mechanism for these inoperable parts is in "close proximity to the air bag inspection areas", for the recall. However, they claim they "... Are not liable for the cable reel" and will charge to have it fixed. And just yesterday, in the process of getting my window fixed, the same dealership left out the moisture shield and disabled my door locks which are superficial issues that they somewhat resolved. However, i still do not have a working horn or cruise control because these were consequentially damaged after innocently responding to an airbag recall inspection.
While pulling into traffic from a state highway onto an interstate the accelerator stuck wide open. Before i could assess the problem my speed had reached 80 mph. Using the brakes did nothing. I was only able to gain control and slow the vehicle down by tapping on the accelerator pedal several times. In researching cr-v's i found that the probable cause is a broken cruise control cable.note: this has occurred 3 additional times.note: the cruise control was not activated while this problem occurred.
I had been driving for approximately 30 minutes.as i drove along i-575 - a 4-lane highway - i noticed a kind of power surge from my engine.my speedometer registered 80 mph!i applied the brakes but was unable to slow the car more than 20-30 mph, and then it started to creep back up.i exited at that point, knowing i needed help.i was still going much too fast.i looked for a service station and not only was there none, within seconds i was faced with a red light with 4 lanes ofcross traffic (george busby parkway) - i couldn't stop the car!so i took it off the road in a controlled crash, going over the curb, 6 or so feet of grass, a huge hedge, and crashed into a very tall, mature crape myrtle.thank god the car finally stopped.i was fortunate the crape myrtle consisted of multiple trunks rather than being an oak or similar.the crape myrtle managed to dissipate the impact of my car and i only sustained a broken wrist.the air bag did not deploy.my insurance company is charging me with driving out of control!!!!
Vehicle was being driven on highway.when attempting to exit the vehicle would not decellerate.engine continued at over 5000 rpm.vehicle could not be stopped with the brake.the gas pedal offerend no control over the vehicle.vehicle had to be put into neutral to allow the brake to stop the vehicle.once the driver managed to stop the vehicle and turn it off, if the vehicle was restarted it immediately accelerated up to 5000 rpm again.vehicle had to be towed to dealership.this vas a life threatening situation.
The contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v.while driving 70 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle would not stop accelerating.the contact deactivated the cruise control, but the vehicle continued to accelerate.the vehicle had to be turned off in order for the acceleration to stop.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.the contact did not notice any prior issues with the vehicle.the current and failure mileages were 97,000. Updated 8/10/09 the consumer stated throttle cable frayed and there was no explanation provided. Updated 08/13/09.
While pressing on the brake pedal to slow, the vehicle did not stop.when the consumer's foot wasremovedfrom brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated without the consumer placing his/her foot on the accelerator.the dealership indicated that this failure was caused by the throttle cable.*sc
Consumer receivedrecall notificationsfor the throttle cable andtransmission shift cable. When consumertookvehicle to the dealership for recall repairs,dealershipinformed him that the partswere not available.
The cruise control system failed. A safety concern for us. Honda replaced a connector in the steering wheel.

Tomorrowi take my 2002 honda cr-v in for it's fifth air conditioner compressor. If it wasn't for the concern about visibility to defrost/defog the windshield in certain weather conditions, would not be shelling out another $1600 plus tax on this reliability highly overrated vehicle. Currently has only 166,600 miles on it. This time failure is being attributed to the condenser fan needing replacement also.at least this is the first time the compressor didn't just completely fail.buying it as a certified used vehicle only helped with the first replacement, so i guess it was worth it, but certainly didn't get the long term peace of mind expected for the extra cost.honda knows they have a problem but appear to not care to help owners cope with the exorbitant cost of owning this over priced vehicle.
I have a 2002 honda cr-v with 84,000 miles on it.this vehicle has been well maintained & has had all manufacturer recommended services completed and i have the records to prove it.the a/c compressor exploded last week circulating metal filings into the vehicle's system.this is a safety hazard because the engine could seize as a result of the presence of metal filings therefore not having any power brakes, power steering, etc.also, i cannot use the defrost which creates limited visibility in cooler temperatures which also creates a safety issue.this is a common, widely known problem often referred to as "honda black death".

Air conditioner system failure. A safety concern in that this locks up the compressor pulley and possibly the entire engine belt. Also, defroster not working properly. Replaced by honda.

The drivers side power window control is shorting out.the front passenger window would not go up all the way about a week ago it was manually fixed by my husband but the controller on driver's side was shorting out.there was a recall on certain crv's but we never got one and now our car is acting up just like the recall.when i called both the local honda dealership that we got the vehicle from and called directly to honda i was told that my vehicle didn't qualify since it was not recalled. I feel that since my car is doing what the recall said, it should be part of the recall repair since this is now a safety issue.could you please let me know how best to handle my car situation.i have been a loyal honda owner for years and really love my crv.i plan onstickingwith honda because we have always been very satisfied.look forward to hearing back from someone on this matter.

My 2002 honda cr-v has had a cracked windshield twice in two years. The impact point was nearly the same in both cases - lower left corner. The first case occurred on i-95. The impact point was nearly invisible to the eye. I went to two dealers who each found the point by tracing the now huge crack with the tip of a pen. It could be found. Both denied warranty coverage. The second case occurred on rt 1 approaching the trenton train stn exit from pennsylvania. This time i looked on the internet to see if their was a known problem with cr-v windows. It appears there is. A problem honda has acknowledged with a little advertised, goodwill warranty. I will follow up. I am wondering if the dealers were aware of this policy, but denied anyway. It was suggested i document my issue through your web site.
A crack appeared on the lower right hand side (passenger side) of my windshield this morning.there is no evidence of an impact site.
There should be a rubber flap of some kind to close of the large opening in the wheel well area where the steering rods come through to the wheel.this large opening lets water, mud, snow & slush spray up into the engine compartment covering the engine, battery, brake and power steering fluid containers so that they are always dirty and hard to check for the correct levels.i brought this to the attention of my dealer shortly after purchasing this vehicle, but they said this is the way it was designed and there was nothing they could do about it.i think this is a bad design, i made rubber flaps and installed them myself, they helped 100%.i will not buy another honda in 2005 unless this is remedied. *la
"takata recall" my honda-crv was hit behind by a young lady in november 2016. She admitted her fault and her insurance company paid for the repair to the garage.the rear bumper was severely dented and it created some other mechanical problems and the garage owner fixed them.i do not haveknowledge about it. Emphatically, i should say: # 1. When this accident took place the air-bag did notdeploy. It is a big question ?# 2. The garage owner, during the repair days askedme to take the vehicle to another garage who did the 'wheel alignments." one of thepersons there told me " the excel is not good/defectiveand need to be fixed or replaced... Something like that as far as i can remember." i said that i can not afford to do that now and i brought the vehicle back.i told about it to my garage owner. He inspected it and said " can not see such a thing, but will see later." since then, i use the car with suspicious and scare to drive far away places. Never drive on free-ways. # 3. I got a dash board warning in september this year. The garage owner said that engine oil need to be changed and i did so on 09.26.2017. But still the light is on ? i think it says " maintenance required." why is the light is on even after oil change is done ? i do not drive the vehicle everyday as i can not afford gas money. We are state beneficiaries and the state has categorized us as low income family. Myself and three family members most of the time travel by bus. Therefore, i can not afford to pay for repairs and kindly help me to fix these issues at an early date. Thank you.
