I have dumped around 6k into this car and the issues span several different mechanics and a towing company. I stopped into a Firestone tire where they sold me new tires, struts, brakes, and a lifetime alignment. They didn’t do the alignment which destroy the 70k miles tires in 10k at which point they told me it was my fault for not getting an alignment. I said you charged me for the lifetime alignment. They took no ownership and after I got infuriated with the lack of support they banned me from calling any Firestone. Corporate won’t call me back. Fast forward and my car started doing the death wobble. I bought a new rack, pressure line, and oil pan as the pan was leaking. I guess when they did the oil change at Firestone they used an impact wrench and it was leaking from the oil bolt. I purchase the oil pan, gaskets, and oil. I posted up in a parking lot and jacked the car up. For one reason or another I couldn’t finish it on my own so I had a company c&s towing tow the car to Juan Carlos’ garage. C&s towing dragged the car in the flat bed breaking a range of things from a motor mount to a possible cv axle. The car is popping and is non functioning now. I got the car to Juan Carlos’s garage a week later after spending $500 in towing. Mr Carlos told me he only accepted cash and upon further questioning him while filming him he openly stated he accepted card. When I asked him why he profile me he had no response. The car is running worse than ever after it came back from Juan Carlos’s garage. The timing cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. The oil cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. He broke off a bolt in the timing cover and it looks like there is an entire bracket missing from the side where the timing cover is. The car is making terrible noise and the transmission is slipping now. I am very unsure why or how I have paid these people to work on my car. When it just gets worse. I got a credit card with Firestone and they won’t call me back to speak

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND IT OFTEN SHUDDERS WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR WITH LOW RPMS. IF YOU GIVE IT MORE GAS IT STOPS SHUDDERING. NONETHELESS SHIFTING IS REALLY POOR FOR A BRAND WITH A GOOD REPUTATION.

NOTICED A WHINING SOUND WHILE DRIVING COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH POWER STEERING CONTROL PUMP PROBLEMS. ALSO NOTICED FLUID LEAK SPOTS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR WHEN PROBLEM FIRST STARTED. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT & WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS CORRODED AS WELL AS THE "TRANSMISSION" HOSE HAD RUSTED. WE FOUND IT VERY UNUSUAL THAT A POWER STEERING HOSE WOULD CORRODE GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE BOUGHT THE HONDA NEW AND IT HAD BEEN RECENTLY SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT THE COST OF OVER $500.00 LAST YEAR. THE HONDA DEALER FOUND LEAKING POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE AND ALSO REPLACED THE COOLER LINE WHICH WAS TOO RUSTED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $762.46!! WE DON'T KNOW IF HONDA USED INFERIOR QUALITY HOSES BUT IT SURE SEEMS LIKE IT BECAUSE I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY POWER STEERING HOSE FOR MY 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP TRUCK & HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM REMOTELY RELATED TO "CORROSION" OR "RUSTING" ACCORDING TO THE HONDA TECHNICIAN'S SERVICE REPORT. WE WERE ONE OF THOSE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DOOR ACTUATOR WHICH WILL BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECENT RECALL NOTICE WE RECEIVED LAST WEEK. THIS WOULD HAVE COST US $250.00 TO HAVE THE ACTUATOR PROBLEM FIXED IF WE HADN'T BEEN NOTIFIED!! *JS

AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE GROCERY STORE, I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED ALMOST HITTING THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR (AND MY BRAKES ARE FAIRLY NEW)! ALMOST SCARED ME TO DEATH! I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR GETS SERVICED REGULARLY BY THE DEALER. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE FOR FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND NEXT TIME SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR WORSE. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV PROBLEMS WITH DOOR LOCKS. THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND CAN'T BE RELOCKED. AT FIRST IT WAS THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK, GOT THAT FIXED @ HONDA AND COST ABOUT $300 BACK IN OCT 2010 @ 38500 OD MI. NOW, THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM! USING REMOTE KEYLESS OR DRIVER'S MASTER DOOR LOCK BUTTON, ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT CONSTANTLY MAKES GRINDING SOUNDS AND LOCK CLICKING ON BUT DOES NOT LOCK!!.. TRIED TO LOCK MANUALLY, BUT KEY DOES NOT WORK, AFRAID TO FORCE IT AND HAVE IT BREAK IN THE LOCK. SAFETY ISSUE AND AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE (UNABLE TO SECURE PROPERTY). I HEAR THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH HONDAS CRV AND OTHER MODELS, DATING BACK QUITE A FEW YEARS AND MAKES SENSE IF HONDA CONTRACTING THE SAME VENDORS! QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE? THE RECENT RECALL FOR 2012 HONDAS AND ACURAS FOR DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKS!! IF USING SAME VENDOR - SAME PROBLEM - AND WHY ONLY 2012 IF OLDER CARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS? RECALL SHOULD BE FOR OLDER CARS AS WELL! ***THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE POWERTRAIN @ 66000 OD MI. - RECENTLY NOTICED THAT AT SPEEDS OF 10 - 15 MPH ( AFTER EVERY STOP) CAR SLUGGISH AS IF ABOUT TO LOSE POWER (DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE) RECALL ISSUES! *TR
