The contact owns a 2014 Honda C-RV. The contact stated that it was two components (upper control arm) that seemed to be a part of his steering, one on each side, that appeared to be rusted.

BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 2018. SECOND I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT VEHICLE STARTED TO HAVE A VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT BACK 4 DAYS LATER BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION AND BURNING SMELL WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES. I HAD TO GET A NEW AXEL REPLACED ON THE CAR. AFTER I HAD TO RETURN CAR AGAIN A WEEK LATER FOR THE EXACT SAME VIBRATIONS. YET SINCE THEN THE CAR STILL SHAKES, AFTER BRINGING IT TO NUMEROUS MECHANICS THE CAR STILL SHAKES. I JUST BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE AGAIN WHY EXACTLY IT IS STILL SHAKING. I HAD TO GET A NEW DIFFERENTIA FOR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I RETURNED IT AGAIN A WEEK LATER FOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SEE IF THAT WILL WORK AND STILL PERSISTS TO SHAKE.

DURING COLD WEATHER, WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING, IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE, NOT SURE IF IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. ANY TIME I SPEED UP THE CAR FROM 20 PMPH TO 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A NOISE SIMILAR TO AMBULANCE NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY YET AND THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL, I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS, PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH, I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL QUICKLY TO ENTER A PARKING PLACE WHEN THE POWER STEERING TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. I TRIED TO DUPLICATE THIS EVENT BUT IT DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS.

THE DESIGN IS DETRIMENTAL TO A SHORT PERSON'S (62 INCH & UNDER) SAFETY. THE STARRING DOES NOT GO DOWN FAR ENOUGH FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE ROAD. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT IS TILTED AWAY FROM STARRING WHEEL. THE HEADLIGHT BEAM ENDS BEFORE THE DRIVER CAN SEE THE ROAD. I COMPLAINED BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO EVEN CHECK. IF THE STARRING WHEEL CAN BE PUSHED FURTHER DOWN AND THE LENGTH OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAM COULD BE EXTENDED FURTHER THE DRIVER WOULD NOT SEE A DARK ROAD AHEAD OF HIM/HER. IT IS A CRASH WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE REVIEW THIS . I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. HONDA, AS USUAL, DOES NOT ADMIT AND FIX THE SAFETY ISSUES BROUGHT TO THEM.

I BOUGHT AT 2014 CRV END OF SEPT/OCT OF 2013. UPON THE FIRST SNOW FALL I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS. THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING ANY TRACTION, IT WAS SLIDING AROUND GOING DOWN HILLS AND UPON TRYING TO DRIVE UP HILLS IT WOULD STOP WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO GO UP. IT WOULD STOP AND WHEELS WOULD SPIN, THE REAR END SPUN TO THE SIDE AND I COULD NOT GET ANYWHERE. THE AMBER AWD LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED, COMBINATION OF BOTH SCENARIOS. I FINALLY GOT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN DEEMED DEFECTIVE (OVERHEATING ISSUE TO POINT OF ALMOST GLOWING AND FLUID OVERHEATED). THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS THAT IF THE CAR WAS PUT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TO AID SLOWING DOWN ON A HILL, EVEN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CAR SPED UP GOING DOWN THE HILL IN FIRST GEAR TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH EVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON, WHICH WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ENGAGING AND NOT EVEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CAR BEHAVED THE SAME EVEN IF ON FLAT GROUND THAT HAD EVEN A DUSTING OF SNOW OR EVEN A LITTLE GRAVEL. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A COURTESY 2014 SAME YEAR AS MINE, IT DROVE MUCH BETTER AND MUCH SAFER THAN MINE PERFORMED AFTER THE FIRST 2 DAYS. I FEEL THE CAR HAS MORE ISSUES THAN JUST THE DIFFERENTIAL AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LAST 1-2 WEEKS THE CAR HAS HAD NO CONTROL IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN DRY ROADS. IT HAS ALMOST WRECKED MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO THESE ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE IS 3.5 MONTHS OLD AND HAD UNDER 10,000 MILES ON IT AND ALL OF THIS HAS GONE WRONG SINCE THE BEGINNING. *TR

ACCELERATING UP TO TRAVEL SPEED ON A HIGHWAY THE WHEELS START SHIMMING WE COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. TALKING TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY WHERE AWARE OF THIS AND THAT SNOW & ICE CAN PACK INTO THE RIMS CAUSING THE WHEELS TO BE UNBALANCED. I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT THINK ITS SAFE FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TO CLEAN THE WHEELS. *TR
