When checking washer fluid, I noticed the fluid was not visible, so I added the proper fluid. As nothing happened, I looked under car, & the washer solution was running out on the concrete floor, as I poured it into jug. Upon further examination, I found pieces of the tubing that had been chewed on, and in some areas, chewed completely through. One of these areas I was able to access via a plastic door, about 12 inches wide, by about 2 inches in height, located under the hood, in the center of the firewall, just below the windshield wipers. I found pieces of tubing in this area, also. Looking further, I found insulation that mice had moved from an unknown area, to make their nest. With some difficulty, I finally received a call from a honda rep, in california. After about 25 minutes of discussion, in a peaceful manner, I was not offered any solution to the mice problem, as I was trying to get honda to help me determine where the point of entry was located at, in the car body, that would allow mice to gain entry. As a former auto mechanic, & a structure aircraft mechanic, I planned to make the repair myself. (the insulation movement could be affecting the A/C & heating systems, also). Later, I found both of the wires to the left clearance light had been chewed completely through, wire & all. I later read on a web site, that the wiring insulation was made out of recycled food material, such as the husks from corn, or pods from mature dried beans!! I consider the windshield washer problem a safety hazard, for sure. Other mfg of asian cars could be using food grade wiring. If the mice can't be stopped, they could totally destroy these newer type cars, looking for shelter, with a built-in food supply. This should be considered a fire hazard, also, in my opinion, due to causing a short-circuit in the wiring systems.
Vehicle began resetting door locks whenever vehicle accelerated through 7 or 8 MPH from stop. After awhile, driver side front and back doors would not lock automatically and intermittently the driver door could not be manually locked (heavy resistance when trying to flip latch). On a less frequent basis, the passenger side rear door would not auto or manually lock. For last several months the door lock solenoids fire like a machine gun whenever the doors are manually or automatically locked. Some times they all lock, other times one or more of the doors won't. Tolerated for many months as dealer wouldn't fix under warranty even though only 1000 miles and a few days past 12mo/36k coverage and didn't want to pay dealer estimated fix at up to 800 dollars. Now starting to pick up grandchildren for after school care and need to fix. Seems this problem has enough complaints to warrant recall?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated that she attempted to enter the vehicle but the doors would not unlock. The doors eventually unlocked after repeated attempts. The contact also stated that the vehicle would intermittently experience a failure in which it would not shift out of park unless allowed to rest for a long period of time. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop and the battery was replaced. The failures continued to occur. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable.
The icons on the lock and unlock buttons of the key/transmitter wear off prematurely. Making it difficult to remotely open or close the doors. Both the dealer and manufacturer claim the key/transmitter are not covered by the 3yr/36,000 mile warranty.
In 2007, we purchased a 2007 honda crv to tow, four wheels down. We purchased the blue ox aventa lx, bx7445 tow bar class iv (10,000 lb for a 2 inch receiver) and the base plate bx2246 made for the 2007 honda cr-v\, we found that the front fascia of the honda had pulled away and upon further inspection, discovered the blue ox base plate had failed. I mean, totally failed, the metal (not the bolts) had ripped, this happened on both sides, where the base plate is attached (bolted) to the frame. The base plate, was now only being held (and also our vehicle) only by the safety cables.
To begin, I recently purchased directly from manly honda, in marin county, ca, earlier this jan/feb of 2007 a brand-new 2007 honda cr-v exl, $28k. A first-time car buyer, I had paid in full using my hard-earned money what I believed to be a reliable, dependable and trouble-free car. Alas, I began noticing some irregularities with the car soon thereafter. To name but a few, they are as follows: 1) a tapping sound in the back of my car; 2) a wet spot noted on the floor of my garage under the hood area; 3) intermittent inability to start the car whereby the battery light would come on; and 4) inability to accelerate, but sudden surge thereafter when driving. I brought my vehicle in to be serviced on monday, august 13, 2007. Later that afternoon I received a call from sf honda, the service dealer, to advise that: 1) the tapping sound in the back of my car is due to a welding defect. Having jacked up the car and removed all the back panels to the vehicle, they had determined that the defective weld or welds were located further within the vehicle and my car would need to be sent to an auto body shop to be further stripped apart to determine the number of defective welds in question. 2) a powder test performed on my engine had determined that it was a transmission leak and the entire transmission would need to be replaced. 3) they had yet to determine why my car would fail to start and the battery light appear; and 4) the sudden surging of my vehicle once I had stepped on the accelerator was due to the defective leak in the transmission. Upon hearing this, I was flabbergasted. Who would have thought that a brand-new car, a honda which is noted for its reliability, would encounter such problems? And at 3,158 miles? And simultaneously? What does this say about honda's quality assurance and manufacturing standards?
