2005 Honda CR-V Other / unspecified Problems

Passenger rear trailing arm broke off from body mount. Vehicle is still available for inspection. Coming to a stop sign and car came to an abrupt stop. Something had stopped the car before I even got to the stop sign. Coming down to the stop sign car began to lost steering and swayed back and forth. Car is in very good condition has 138,100 miles on it. But now it can,t be driven cant be fixed and be safe. Still books for $3200.00. Our family was left vulnerable to a horrible accident if going any faster when this happened. Broke down on a back road at 10:30 p.m. close to a stop sign. Had to be towed. A recall of the 2007 to 2011 CR-V. stated that this happens to those models. They didn't go back far enough on this recall and if I hadn't told people who still have the 2005- 2006 model they wouldn't have known and this could happen to them. Vehicle was inspected by insurance co. and Honda dealership and reported to Honda corp. Rust no coverage or repair for this vehicle. Mechanic looked at can't repair and make safe. Same problem as those vehicles recalled. But because it wasn't on the recall list there is nothing they can do about this vehicle. This left me, my loved ones vulnerable to a serious accident if I had been on a freeway let alone on any road going 50 and above in speed. No warnings what so ever that this could happen. No messages, no lamps no letters from Honda nothing.

THE TIRE WAS FLAT FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WE PULLED INTO A UHAUL LOCATION WHERE THEY FILLED AIR AND APPARENTLY NO AIR WAS LEAKING. HOWEVER, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO COSTCO TIRE CENTER SINCE THE MICHELINS WERE PURCHASED THERE AND THEY EXAMINED AND SAID THE RIMS WERE "DAMAGED". THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE FROM OUTSIDE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM, THE AIR LEAKS FROM THE INSIDE IN THE RIM AND THE TIRE HAS BEEN FLAT AGAIN. WE THOUGHT IT IS THE VALVE BUT EVEN AFTER VALVE REPLACEMENT, ITS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT WE HAD A VALVE CHANGED THEN TOO AND IT WORKED APPARENTLY. NOT SURE IF THE RIMS ARE NOT ACCURATELY MACHINED BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM. *TR

2006 HONDA CRV. HAVE REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR 4 TIMES, WAITING ON NUMBER 5. AFTER ANYWHERE FROM 2 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR THE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP IN PLACE. CREEPS BACK DOWN INSTANTLY AND CANNOT SEE OUT OF WINDSHIELD EVEN WITH VISOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY TOWARDS WINDSHIELD. OFFERS NO USE, AND WHEN TRYING TO USE IT OBSTRUCTS VIEW AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF VISORS ARE REQUIRED, THEN THIS ONE IS A FAILURE. HAVE NOTED OTHERS ON THE HONDA CRV OWNERS CLUB FORUM WITH SAME PROBLEM. HAVE ASKED THAT THEY ALSO FILE WITH NHTSA. TO BE CLEAR, WHEN STORED AWAY IN NORMAL POSITION IT STAYS IN PLACE, WHEN TRYING TO PULL IT DOWN AND PUSH TOWARDS WINDSHIELD WHEN SUN IS IN FACE, IT PUSHES TO WINDSHIELD THEN INSTANTLY FLOPS BACK DOWN TO POSITION WHERE IT OBSCURES THE VIEW OUT THE WINDSHIELD. REPLACEMENTS WORK FINE FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THEY HAVE WARRANTIED 3 TIMES, AND I HAVE HAD TO BUY TWICE AS IT WAS JUST OVER 1 YEAR BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. I HAVE AND OLD PART THAT WAS REPLACED WHEN I HAD TO PURCHASE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE KEPT THE OTHER PARTS, BUT HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR FIX. *TR

SERIOUS VIBRATIONS WHEN MAKING A SHARP LEFT OR RIGHT TURN ON HONDA CRV 2006 MODEL. BASED ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS AND HONDA DEALER IN FREMONT, IT IS BECAUSE OF THE BAD REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HONDA WARRANTY SAYS THAT THIS FLUID SHOULD BE REPLACED BETWEEN 60,000 - 90,000 MILES WHILE MY CRV HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I ASKED THE HONDA DEALER TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY DENIED. I WANT HONDA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
