APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY WITH MY WIFE AND 6 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES SUDDENLY ENGAGED CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THE VSA WARNING LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER PRESSING AND PULLING THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO RELEASE. TODAY I RECEIVED A FRANTIC CALL FROM MY WIFE BECAUSE AS SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCKED UP WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND CAUSED THE CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE SHE IS UNDERSTANDABLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND READ OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR PILOT MODEL AND HAS RECALLED OVER 183,000 VEHICLES BUT HAS YET TO RECOGNIZE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE CRV MODEL. THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE TO BRAKE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OBVIOUSLY POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. HONDA NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT IS NOT LIMITED TO THEIR PILOT MODEL, BUT TO ALL MODELS WHICH THEY MANUFACTURE THAT SHARE THE SAME OR SIMILAR COMPONENTS AS THE PILOT MODEL INCLUDING THEIR CRV AND OTHER MODELS.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON FREEWAY AND FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND VEHICLE SLOW DOWN. STEPPED HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. THEN MANAGED TO GET THE CAR UP AN EXIT RAMP AT WHICH POINT THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. HAULED THE CAR TO A DEALER WHO SAID THE BRAKES WERE "CONTAMINATED" AND ALL PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED, INCLUDING THE ABS MODULE FOR $6,300. AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR INDICATED THERE WAS A FIRMWARE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS MODULE AND READOUTS FOR THE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS(OBD SCANNER). INDEPENDANT REPAIR SHOPS SAY THE DEALER IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE EQUIPMENT TO DEAL WITH THE ABS SYSTEM.

THE VEHICLE HAD ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. IT LOST ITS ABS AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL. IT DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO US SINCE THE ROAD WAS NOT THAT CROWDED. AFTER THAT WE ALWAYS HAD TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE. GOT INSPECTED AT HONDA SHOWROOM AND THEY FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY MODULATOR WAS NOT WORKING AND IT WOULD COST $2000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

THE BACK PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL HAD A "HOT" SMELL COMING FROM IT. HONDA SERVICE DETERMINED I HAD A BRAKE PAD THAT HAD GOTTEN STUCK. BRAKE PAD WAS REPLACED, AS WELL AS FIXING THE ROTOR. THE SMELL CONTINUED. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY CANNOT FIND ONE THING "RUBBING" THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS "HOT" SMELL. THEY ARE STUMPED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL, WONDERING IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO WEAR OUT OR CATCH ON FIRE. MANY INTERNET BLOGS HAVE SHOWN MANY, MANY HONDA OWNERS TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. NO OTHER TIRES/WHEEL WELLS SMELL HOT - SOME OWNERS BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEXT TO THE TIRE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CRV AND WAS ALMOST RUN OVER BY IT TODAY. IT APPEARS THERE MIGHT BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I HAD PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I LEFT IT ON SO THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WHILE I WAS UNLOADING THE CAR AND PUTTING THINGS IN THE GARAGE (THIS PROCESS TOOK APPROX. 5 MINUTES). I THEN WENT TO THE BACK SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND GOT MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. I THEN SHUT THE BACK DOOR AND OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GRAB THE CAR KEYS WHICH WERE IN THE IGNITION. I TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK WARDS DRAGGING ME WITH IT...AS I WAS STUCK BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I WAS HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND AND SCRAMBLING TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS IN PARK...IT WAS AND THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER IT JUMPED UP ON THE CURB, BACKED INTO SEVERAL TREES AND HIT A STREET SIGN. MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK? I WAS HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND AS THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS AND I DOUBLED CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN PARK AS I WAS GETTING DRAGGED WITH THE CAR. ALTHOUGH MY LEG IS NOW BADLY BRUISED AND MY BUMPER IS MESSED UP; ALL IN ALL I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY LUCKY. HAD MY DAUGHTER STARTED WALKING BEHIND THE CAR VS. WALKING TOWARDS THE GARAGE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I'M NOW TERRIFIED OF MY CAR.. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT HONDA CORPORATE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND RESULT IN A FAR WORSE OUTCOME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE AND THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE OIL DIFFERENTIAL AND SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL BE CHANGED EVERY THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND MILES. THIS CORRECTED THE FAILURE TEMPORARILY, BUT THE GRINDING NOISE RECURRED A WEEK LATER AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT AGAIN. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,804 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE BUMPER COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE RADIATOR WAS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLATCH. THE PASSENGER IN THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS UNINJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING SOUND WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, BUT THERE WAS NO FAILURE AT THAT TIME.

PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CRV FROM BOB BARBOUR HONDA IN GREENVILLE NC. IN JULY. AFTER 2,300 MILES THE REAR PARKING BRAKE WAS DESTROYED. HONDA REFUSED TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY CLAIMING THAT IT WAS TOWED WITH THE BRAKE ON. IT WAS NOT, AS I CHECKED THE BRAKE LIGHT AND FOOT PEDAL WHEN I LEFT. AFTER REPLACING ALL THE BRAKE PADS, ROTOR AND BEARINGS IT WAS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT AND THEY DETERMINED THE CABLE WAS BAD. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THAT WAS THE CAUSE OR EFFECT, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT SURE. THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL. TO ME THIS WAS EXCULPATE, AND MY DEALER WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, BUT ONE PERSON AT NORTH AMERICAN HONDA WOULD NOT CHANGE HER MIND. THE APPEAL PROCESS IS A JOKE. I MADE SURE THEY GAVE ME ALL THE PARTS BACK. I WAS LUCKY MY CAR DID NOT CATCH FIRE. *TR
