• Recall 2019323 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Note: this is a new recall campaign that includes vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced under a previous recall or had a replacement airbag installed. The previous recall provided an interim (short-term) repair. Interim repair parts must be replaced with the final repair parts provided in this recall. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective action: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver and/or passenger-front airbag inflator. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2019117 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the driver-front airbag inflator. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

• Air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20150224

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe14-016 in june 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in florida or puerto rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of pe14-016, odi determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at odis insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included florida, puerto rico, hawaii, and the u.S. Virgin islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to takata for testing.Takatas initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from florida.Accordingly odi requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the gulf states and other coastal areas.Takatas testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During pe14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during pe14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically california and north carolina.Accordingly, odi requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.Odis investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

  This investigation was prompted by preliminary evaluation (pe) 11-017, and was based on reports from consumers alleging that both low beam headlights stopped illuminating simultaneously.Some complainants also reported that the combination switch (switch) that controls the headlights and turn signals, and/or its electrical wiring harness connector were damaged by overheating.Odis pe information request letter asked honda for certain data on model years (my) 2002-2006 cr-v, 2003-2008 pilot, 2003-2008 element, 2001-2005 civic, and 2000-2001 s 2000 vehicles.Analysis of complaint and honda data show that a complete low beam headlight circuit failure occurs in models with 2-bulb headlight systems (i.E., a single bulb on each side for high and low beam).Models with 2-bulb systems include my 2002-2004 cr-v, 2003-2005 pilot, 2001-2003 civic, and 2003-2008 element.Models with 4-bulb headlight systems (i.E., two bulbs on each side, one for high and one for low beam) have different electrical circuits for the headlights and do not experience the same failure mechanism as the 2-bulb system.My 2000-2001 s 2000 models with 2-bulb high intensity discharge headlights also have different electrical circuits for the headlights and do not experience the same failure mechanism.Honda introduced the 4-bulb headlight system in cr-v in my 2005, in pilot in my 2006, and in civic in my 2004.On march 29, 2012 honda submitted a defect information report (dir) to recall 554,428 vehicles, including my 2002-2004 cr-v and my 2003 pilot.In the dir, honda stated that tension from the combination switch wiring harness to the electrical terminal for the low beam headlight circuit could cause a small amount of motion as the combination switch was operated.This motion, over time, can wear the surface of the terminal creating copper oxide, increasing electrical resistance, which may cause the terminal to melt within the harness connector.Odi continued its investigation, and on august 31, 2012 honda submitted another dir to recall an additional 820,789 vehicles.This report included the my 2002 civic vehicles which were not subject to a prior safety recall (04v-086) for headlights, all of my 2003 civic, and my 2004-2005 pilot.Hondas dir advised that operation of the turn signal switch lever at high speed and/or with heavy force can cause movement between the combination switch body and the sub-harness wiring connector.This can cause wear and continued movement can create copper oxide, increasing electrical resistance, and potentially causing the terminal to melt within the harness connector. Please see both dirs at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/recalls/ under safety recall 12v-136 for complete details.Honda also provided additional information on the element model, stating that it was not recalled due to its very low failure rate.Honda sold 301,497 element vehicles in the united states and received 17 reports, while odi received one report (see voq 10395219).Hondas technical explanation for the low rate, which was submitted under request for confidentiality, is that the headlight switch, as installed in the element, reacts differently to the forces applied to it as compared to the recalled models.See attachment for additional information.

• Drivers power window master switch investigation as of 20110411

  This investigation was prompted by preliminary evaluation (pe) 10-047 and was based on reports from consumers alleging that smoke and/or fire, as defined in 49 cfr § 579.4, had occurred inside of the drivers door.The subject vehicles, model year (my) 2006 cr-v, were manufactured at two different assembly plants.The vehicles manufactured in japan (sayama plant) were produced with a power window master switch (pwms) supplied by the thai toyo denso company, ltd. (denso).The vehicles manufactured in the united kingdom (uk, swindon, england plant) were produced with a pwms supplied by the omron corporation (omron).Honda provided 45 reports on the subject vehicles responsive to this investigation.Of this number, 24 reports concerned japan-built vehicles, 19 reports on uk-built vehicles, and two reports without a vehicle identification number which could not be identified by assembly plant. Four of hondas reports were duplicative of odi reports.Odi received nine reports on the subject vehicles:five on japan-built and four on uk-built vehicles, and one additional report on a my 2005 uk built vehicle.The odi reports can be reviewed at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification (odi) numbers: 10343884, 10307287, 10321646, 10375324, 10386750, 10425406, 10437807, 10439880, 10469350, and 10406979.In most cases, it was reported that the pwms and/or its electrical wiring harness had sustained heat related damage requiring replacement of the affected component(s).However, in three of the cases involving an omron pwms (uk built), a fire breached the drivers door panel and spread into the vehicle interior.Two of the three vehicles were determined to be a total loss by insurance companies, and one was repaired.All three fires occurred as the vehicles were parked with the ignition switch turned off.On september 6, 2011 honda submitted a defect information report (dir) to recall 80,111 subject vehicles built in japan.In its dir, honda explained that the denso pwms assembly has switches made of a resin material that can allow residues to accumulate over time.Residue from silicone based cleaning products used near the pwms can adhere to the electrical contacts of the switch and repeated operation of the switch may accelerate wear of the electrical contact.Silicone particles that have accumulated between the power source and the ground in the switch can become heated when electrical power is supplied to the circuit.If this occurs, the resin material of the switch can carbonize and form an electrically conductive path which causes the resin material to heat up.As a result, the switch may melt and produce smoke.In the worst case, the switch cover may burn.Odi notes that this recall was limited to my 2006 because the pwms subject to the recall (p/n 3750-s9a-c05za) was made of a new resin material introduced during my 2006 production.Odi continued its investigation with respect to uk built vehicles with the omron pmws.On october 4, 2012 honda submitted an additional dir to recall 268,655 my 2002-2006 cr-v vehicles.Hondas dir stated that water or other fluids can enter the omron pwms assembly and over time cause electrical resistance in the switch.Increased resistance can result in overheating and melting of the switch, which could potentially cause a fire.Please see both dirs at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/recalls/ under safety recalls 11v456 and 12v486 for further details of the recalls.

• Underhood fires investigation as of 20040909

  In documents provided during ea04-027, honda identified a mechanism which causes the rubber seal (gasket) of the original equipment (oe) oil filter to adhere to the engine block of the subject vehicles.If an adhered seal remains when the oe filter is removed and a new filter is installed, a "double gasket" condition results.A subsequent rupture of the extraneous seal can result in oil contacting nearby exhaust system surfaces and a fire may occur.Throughout its discussions with odi, honda has maintained that it is the servicing technician¿s responsibility to inspect for and remove the seal prior to installing a new filter.Odi¿s analysis found that seal adhesion, in conjunction with technician error and exhaust component location, resulted in a high rate of subject vehicle oil filter fires compared to earlier models and peers.Vehicles that have not had the oe filter disturbed are not at risk.Service replacement filter seals, which are manufactured by a different supplier, do not exhibit the seal adhesion condition.Therefore, if the initial oil change is done properly, the elevated fire risk is eliminated for the remainder of the vehicle¿s life.Based on average mileage accumulation and oil service interval, odi estimates that more than two thirds of the subject vehicles have received their initial oil change and are no longer at an elevated risk.Honda changed the design of the filter seal to prevent the adhesion condition and introduced the new seal at both cr-v assembly plants in december 2004.In a december 8, 2004 letter to odi, honda committed to send a notification to subject vehicle owners advising of the fire risk if an oil change is improperly performed.The letter discusses measures consumers can take to ensure the first oil change is done properly.Letter mailings commenced on december 10, 2004.Owners who have recently had their first oil change performed and are unsure if it was done correctly can have it inspected by a honda dealer at no charge; if an improper filter installation is detected, a free remedy will be provided by the dealer.Unsold subject vehicles in dealer stock (~20,000 units) will have the oe filter replaced with a service component prior to retail.The injury noted above occurred when a consumer slipped on oil that leaked from their vehicle.Recent report trends indicate that honda¿s efforts to improve oil filter service proficiency at their dealerships have been effective.See the ea04-027 summary report for further details on this investigation.

Honda is not honoring their commitment to make service available for the recalls on this vehicle, which includes the takata airbag. I am attempting to make an appointment at my local honda dealer paragon honda in woodside, ny on 6/28. There are no service appointments available through the end of december. I had the same problem about two years ago when i attempted to speak to a person at the dealership. They have made this impossible. Because i live in nyc it is not reasonable to commute to the next closest dealer because that would require bridges and tolls. This is unaccaptable.

The air conditioner began making a loud noise under the hood then it began making a rattling noise. When i turned it on it blew warm air. Now i don’t get the noise only warm air. I took 2004 honda cr-v to the shop to get checked out. I rec’d an estimate of $1,800. This vehicle’s a/c compressor motor is directly under the motor making it difficult to remove/repair/replace. The clutch engaging the compressor is not working ** due to the heat of the motor. Honda: this is a very poor placement for an a/c compressor.

Power windows do not work

Power windows do not work

Well my key is in the ignition i cannot lift or lower the passenger or rear passenger windows without blowing fuses. I have tried replacing fuses countless times the same issue happens. I have read and talk to mechanics that it is a master switch issue. A recall from honda is out for this current issue of the master switch: nhtsa # 20v-768. But for some reason my vin number is not associated with this recall. If you can please review this and get back to me because i need this issue fixed i cannot roll any of my windows down without blowing fuses i'm afraid it can cause overheating or fire i need this fixed. Also the car can be stationary in motion on the highway as long as the key is in the ignition on run the fuses will blow. Thank you

I just saw a recall on some 2004 honda crv models about the window switch. Mine went faulty a couple years ago and i cannot use 1 window. The dealer said it was the switch then, but it was somewhere around $1000 to fix so i decided to just not use the window. I just saw the recall and checked my vin which says itsnot affected. How do i get this fixed? Thank you.

While drive up a hill the rpm's where to high an wouldn't respond to braking

Today while driving on the highway my cr-v accelerated by itself and wouldn't stop even when pressing on the brakes. I had to press the brake to the floor to go towards the exit. I even turned the car off and on but immediately revved as if i was pressing the gas. Wouldn't switch out of park. I googled and my vehicle is not the only one to do this. Is this a known issue to honda?

Is there a recall on the ac compressor?

Honda refused to correct the door locking system for 2002 to 2006. There was a recall for only to 2007 to 2009 which have the same kind of problem. For second times, i was stuck because the driver door locked and cannot open and then forced myself to exit through the passenger door. My major concern for my safety reason in case if into accident or else. Honda dealer wants over a thousand dollars to replace parts for both front doors. I am not sure about rear doors but i learned some crv has a problem with all door locks. I was deeply discouraged your agency did not do with this situation with 2002-2006 crv. I spoke with a representative. He said due to an old car high mileage vehicle will not pay for the replacement parts and labor. I told him regardless of age or mileage but my point is my safety issue. He suggested me to junk my vehicle and buy a new one will resolve my situation. I am retired and have a fixed income from social security which i cannot afford to buy a new car. My vehicle is running very good. There are a lot of people frustrated with this safety-related issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the front driver's side door lock, power steering, and ignition switch malfunctioned. Wolfchase honda (2982 n germantown pkwy, bartlett, tn 38133, (901) 255-3700) stated that the door locks needed replacement, but there was no guarantee that this would remedy the failure. In addition, the power steering was leaking fluid, but the dealer did not know if it was the steering pump or hose. The dealer stated that they would have to disassemble the power steering to diagnose the failure. The contact was informed that the power steering may last until march. The contact also had difficulty placing all four keys in the ignition. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 160,000.

The driver's side seatbelt does not retract well. Other seatbelts may be affected as well. The driver's side visor has not been damaged but does not stay up. It is a safety hazard.

Door remote will not open door - defective actuators

The 04 honda cr-v is located on st croix in the us virgin islands. I have been trying to get the airbag replaced for two years. At present, there are no dealers on island so honda kindly suggested that the car be repaired in puerto rico or fl!!! Am i supposed to ship to via air or sea? Sad...

Tl* the contact owned a 2004 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle was involved in a rear end collision with a semi-truck. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed destroyed. The contact suffered a contusion and moderate headaches, which required medical attention. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 250,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the low beam headlamps failed to operated without warning. Stokes honda (8650 rivers ave, north charleston, sc 29406) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted and the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 12v136000(exterior lighting), but the vin was excluded. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The door locks do not operate properly. You have to use the key in the drivers door to manually open it. The interior door lock switch will only unlock the front passenger door. You have to climb around inside the vehicle to open rear doors. To lock the doors you have to walk around to each door and open it to manually lock them to secure vehicle or crawl back through the vehicles interior to lock the doors. The remote can only open the front passenger lock even though you hear noises occurring trying to unlock the other doors. The remote is useless. This is not just an inconvenience but is a serious safety issue.

Takata recall

Stirring is locked. Key won't turn. This happened 11082017. I was at a shell service station. Car was in proper park position and should have started. Mechanic couldn't start it either. Problem being investigated. Car has 172k.Lucky there was a mechanic.Went to fill up gas tank.

We were leaving a parking lot when we had to pull over and get out of the car. A very strong electric smell and smoke was coming from drivers side window area. We were all outside the car on a very busy city street because of this incident. After a while the smoke cleared and i went back into the vehicle to see if it would function. The rear windows were no longer functioning. Had a friend take the family home and drove the car myself home and parked it away from the house. Looked it up on the internet and found that a recall for the drivers side power window switch ( 12v486000 10/05/2012 2002 to 2005 crv )was made including 2004 crv models for this very issue. Contacted honda support to find out why we were not notified. According to honda support, our model is not covered because we have a different vin than the same year models that were recalled for the very same issue. This is a serious driving and fire hazzard!. I am very dissapointed this is not something they take serious. We are original owners and have never received notice of this issue. They say it is my expense because my vin is not one included in the recall for this very same issue of the very same year and model. Had to pay thousands for our air conditioner to be completely replaced shortly after we bought the car because of a later recalled issue with it that also was not covered at the time. Used to be honda believers, but this kind of treatment is not sitting well.

Since 2015 and still today my car has been making a very loud whooping noise when the a/c is turned on. It has progressively turned louder, and over the last month or so, the a/c works on and off but never with the force it used to. The problem has always occurred when the vehicle is running and with the a/c on.

(tamara inflators) i was sent a recall and took my car in to the dealership. My car was returned in two hours. The nest dat the same srs indicator was displayed on the dash as i began to drive after the issue should have been repaired or replaced.

I along with other honda crv users are looking to file a complaint to have a possible recall issued to honda. I have tried contacting corporate and they act like they've never heard of the issue. The issue is the fact that the air compressor found on the cr-v has the issue of 'imploding'; the internals completely shattering, forcing debris throughout your ac system, plaguing all of the associated components and causing the compressor to seize or 'lock up'. This debris will find itself lodged in these parts and a simple flush just won't do. Replacing only the ac compressor and drier is not sufficient enough to have reliable ac once again. I am just to the point of even scared to drive my car anymore and honda will not help with the issue. Even doing a simple google search of honda crv compressor failure you ill find hundreds of articles stating there is an issue of crv's from 2002-2006. I feel as if something needs to be done. Even if they just add a shield from the compressor to the engine. Please help if you can; even if you could just investigate it. Thank you so much in advance

While driving on the freeway at approximately 55 mph, i heard a bumping noise coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. I pulled over and found the steel belt had separated from the front passenger tire (fisk classic p205/70r15 95s m+s.) immediately noticed was the steel belt separation caused damage to the front passenger tire wheel well. I was advised not to drive the vehicle due to the fact the steel belt separation may have caused damage to other parts of the under body on the vehicle. I had the vehicle towed home.

Upon buying this car repairs started immediately starting with full brake system and now both ball joints, power steering return line, timing chain and tensioner. This car is only 13 years old and in my theory these items should have lasted a lot longer.

The safety restraint system (srs) dashboard light comes on when the car is started and remains on the entire time the car engine running including the time the car is being driven.

My window came down on its own today and there was smoke and a very strong burning smell. I had a mechanic look at the driver side front window and he stated the insides were melted because some wires were burning. I read online that this has been a problem for these vehicles.

Car caught fire while parked. I did not receive a recall or warning notice. The electrical cables from driver door looks melted and fire spread quickly. Firefighters had to be called and they had to wet the car and disconnect the battery. This mode vehicle and year shows 5 open recalls, but when i search by vin# it shows no open recalls. I was lucky not to be driving the car.

No " takata recall?" for my 2004 honda crv w/ faulty driver + passenger airbags?! This car should definately be on that recall list but is not!! Why? ! I purchased my 2004 only 9 months ago from a dealer. I was traveling on a highway approaching a red light going approx 35- 40 mph when my 2004 honda crv hit the rear of another car. My driver airbag never opened to protect me yet my passenger airbag inflated!? Ironically, i was alone with no passengers! Both front airbags failed me & were faulty! I feel this is a major safety hazard and i was lucky to get out of my car alive! I don't know if fault lies wholly with honda and/or takaka or w/ the dealer who sold me this car? Unfortunately, i now own an $8000 "totaled" crv sitting in a junkyard and i'm w/o transportation to my job!

Right front lower control arm separation. Happened during low speed operation. I am the repair technician who did the repair. I am submitting this on behalf of the owner and because of my own concern. Researching the internet, another owner of a 2004 cr-v experienced the same issue. This issue may be related to the following: nhtsa campaign number: 12v124000. The issue may involve earlier models. I have the defective item available for inspection.

Faulty door locks causing the need to manually use the key and in the case of the rear doors - the inability to unlock from the outside. Issue started with one door lock (driver rear) and now has started on the drivers door. This is a permanent default as it now does not function.

During test drive the vehicle stalled upon braking. Thus leading to 3rd party inspection request. Upon receipt of photos and estimate for safety repairs notice a counter offer was sent to the dealer to which they declined to repair or reduce the vehicle. I have concern that the vehicle will return to the lot and an unknowing buyer will be at risk.

The driver and passenger side door locks have failed. I cannot lock my car with the key on either side. I can only open from the inside. I'm resorting to keeping my driver's side door unlocked (a very dangerous thing). I first was unable to open the driver's side and days later, the passenger side also stopped working.

I first heard a noise from the front of the car under the hood, and later i felt many metallic pieces banging inside the car and falling off, when i was driving on a city street. Later when i took it to the mechanics, i was told the air compressor was exploded, and some of the metallic pieces from the explosion partially cut my belt. The mechanics said it is necessary to replace the entire air compressor, condenser and belt, and do a complete flush of the system. The worst case, if some small pieces residue inside the system, it could hurt the engine.

Takata recall: i had to pay labor costs to have the replacement air bags installed. I also did not receive a loan vehicle while my car was in the shop all day being repaired. I was told i could rent one of their vehicles. The airbag was replaced prior to it being deployed because of crash or accident.

Recall notice arrived 02/19/2016 for a recall dated 06/15/2015. Why was i not notified on 07/02/2015 when i spoke with them, or on 09/24/2015 or on 11/05/2015 when i was at appletree honda for previous recalls.

My airbags have been replaced as part of the takata recall. After the last airbag was replaced on 2/12/2016, the service advisor told me that the srs opds unit was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced at my expense ($475). He said that this needed to be replaced in order for the airbags to work properly. My contention is that if this unit needs to be replaced for the airbags to work, then this is a safety issue that should be covered by the manufacturer, exactly like the airbags have. I called honda is out of warranty and therefore my responsibility. I disagree. Please review my case and let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

The car was in an accident and none of the airbags deployed. This vehicle was brought to a dealership for the takata recall in november 2015 and the accident occurred in january 2016. Since the car rolled over when slowing down quickly taking a turn on the highway, maybe the driver's side airbag shouldn't have deployed but none of the side airbags worked either (see pictures).

Passenger window got stuck about a week ago and delayed in rolling back up. Once it rolled up i set the window lock button so it wouldn't accidentally happen again while having wet weather. Yesterday, 1st sunny day, had rolled driver and front passenger windows down. Parked and rolled up windows. When got back into car 10 minutes later, noticed bad smell and yellow smoke coming from main window control panel on door before even turning the ignition on. Had to pull the fuse for the windows to stop it from smoking. This is the second time this has happened since i bought it off the lot. Replaced part on may 21, 2011 and paid out of pocket. Again honda is asking me to pay for inspecting and replacing of this problem. I should not have to pay for this! I return tomorrow night to pick up my car. *js

On 7/27 i received recall notice (15v-320) from honda. I immediately (7/27, 1:26 pm) contacted sussman honda (215-657-7050) at 1543 easton rd., abington pa 19001, to make an appointment. I was given a 10:00 am appointment for aug 4, 2015. I was assured they had the necessary parts. When i arrived, i was turned away at the service entrance because, "they had just ran out of the parts". I was dismayed. I had expected that the parts would be reserved for my appointment. This incident wasted my time, energy, money and gasoline,and put me at additional risk for the dangers described in the recall notice. The service assistant took my name and phone number and assured me i would be contacted when parts became available, but gave no indication as to a time frame when that would happen. I expect that in the future, parts targeted for a specific customer (me, in this case) will be reserved for my appointment and this negative experience will not be repeated.

Not a complaint but i had my passenger airbag replaced june 26, 2015. Received a new recall in july 2015 but was told it did not apply that it was covered in the june 2015 repairs. Just need to verify if the recall is a recall of the recall. Confused yet?

My honda crv is within the year range for a recall of the driver side airbag. To date, i have not received any recall notice from honda......At all. I am concerned about this and came to your website to find out if my vehicle is definitely one that needs to be recalled for replacement of the airbag apparatus. As far as i can tell, it is.....So i am wondering why no recall notice has come to me? What am i to do? The potential effects of this faulty part seem devastating from what i am reading.....Please advise what is my best course of action.

Driver's side sun visor will not stay in position. Drops down constantly. Will not stay up nor pushed forward against windshield. The owners forum has tons of crv owners with this problem. I contacted honda and was told they do not guarantee that part! This is a major safety hazard. Honda knows it has issue with it's visors however will not issue a recall for the problem.

I have been waiting for the airbag recall parts since january, 2015. I was not notified by honda of the recall. Fortunately, it was covered in the news and i was able to check using my vin. I feel the vehicle is not safe to drive, but the dealer is not able to tell me when the parts will be available. *tr

I have been trying unsuccessfully to have my air bags replaced since receiving notice of the recall. I called the dealer where i normally receive service on march 30, 2015 and was told the parts were on back order and they expected to have the parts in within 30 days. When i did not hear further from the dealer (landmark honda of alexandria,va), i called again on april 27, 2015 and was told that the parts are trickling in due to high demand and that they were calling owners and repairing vehicles as the parts came in. I inquired if there was a process for determining the order in which owners were being called such as a first come first served process or a waiting list. The service representative said that information was not available. I live in camp springs, md and i have a road trip planned for minneapolis, mn which is scheduled for may 10 to may 27, 2015. I thought that my car would've been serviced in time for this trip. Clearly, i am concerned for the safety of my passengers and myself. I just read about the one day workshop which was convened on april 28, 2015 and i can tell you, that honda is not doing enough to provide parts for timely repairs and to ensure the safety of their owners. *tr

Summary: while driving, the master power window switch overheated and began to emit a strong burning odor. Afterwards the left rear window failed to operate. Since i initially did not know where the odor was coming from, i went to the dealer the next day to see if they could find the source of the odor but they couldn't. After sniffing around, i found the source of odor, the master power window switch. I had the dealer remove the fuse for safety reasons. The dealer said the window regulator had failed but i suspect the failed switch burnt out the window motor. I was worry that the car would catch on fire. *tr

Having received our recall notice to replace the front driver and passenger air bag from the manufacturer, we contacted our local dealer today, 3/24/2015. We were denied information or deferred for questions regarding inflators used for the "side-impact" air bags which are built into the driver and front passenger seats (which may burst and cause injury to back, shoulder or spine). We were told parts may not be available for 4 weeks, up to 2 months. This seems unreasonable for an issue that may result in occupant death from a safety device designed to save lives. *tr

While driving from southern california to northern california, the ac was working just fine when a high pitched squeal started coming from the engine. Lifting my foot off the gas seemed to help and the noise went away, but the noise came back, and a thumping sound started to come through and a small pop happened, sending some sort of black canister shooting out from under my car and onto the freeway.

Not knowing what else to do, i put the car in neutral and pulled to the side of the road. The excessive revving and rpms continued for about 30 seconds before suddenly going to 0.

I was driving through my area at or near 15 mph. When the car suddenly accelerated on its own to a speed of 30-35 mph. The brake pedal felt very stiff and was difficult to hold the car at 30 mph with constant braking. There was no traffic and the incident occurred not far from my home, so i proceeded back home. The car would not decelerate. I have a very long driveway that i pulled into, put the car in neutral, turned off the key and pulled the emergency brake. There was a loud grinding noise as the engine wound down. I immediately contacted the dealership where the car was purchased and told them what happened. They sent a tow vehicle to pick up the car since it was not safe to drive it to them. They said they drove the car multiple times and performed diagnostic tests on the vehicle finding no problems after having the car for three days. The invoice however showed identical mileage in and out of their facility when it was picked up jan. 2, 2014. On feb. 11, 2014, i was in traffic stopped at a red light, my right foot pressing on the brake pedal. Without warning the engine revved, the brake pedal stiffened and the car lurched forward hitting the rear of the vehicle in front of me, doing damage to both vehicles. Both the dealership and honda of america have been notified and a claim has been filed. Research shows that this is not an unheard of complaint or occurrence for this make, model, year vehicle as evidence buy complaints to you. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained by the dealership and i am the original owner and only driver. This is my first accident in over 50 yrs of being a licensed driver. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda cr-v. The contact was driving 50 mph when the srs warning lamp illuminated.

Suddenly, when braking, the pedal went almost all the way to the floor and braking was effected by using the emergency brake. After some trouble shooting determined that it was the brake proportioning valve and brake lines that had gotten so rusty here in vermont and due to its designed exposure that they failed.All at once, not gradually. The agency that repaired my damage said that a 2003 crv failed the state inspection due to rusty frame damage. The nhtsa should specify that brake lines and fittings should be made of stainless or brass. I have heard stories from many saying that they had to replace brake lines. *tr

Ac compressor stopped working. Honda dealer said the compressor is cracked. *tr

I have a 2004 honda cr-v. I had my ac on and it began to grind. At first i thought it was my motor, but soon realized it was my air conditioner unit. I took it to the honda dealership, and they checked it out. Cost for the diagnostic - $106.00 cost to fix it: $4000.00 diagnosis:a/c compressor failed. All the a/c parts are internally contaminated with metal from the compressor. Needs a/c kit (c) and clutch and coil. I have been checking online and many 2003 and 2004 honda crv's have had this problem, but no recall. I don't have that money to spend, yet need air conditioning. Is this fair for honda to ignore this issue and cost their faithful customers so much money when this problem did exist in those year models? Can you help? *tr

Thunk noise from engine on passenger side. Worse with turning, happened intermittently at all speeds. Dealer said "something" was not tightened properly, muttering about engine mount. I was not given a service record for the repair and am in the process of trying to get one after the fact. At the same time hear a grinding noise that was not resolved. Cr-v at repair shop now and said it looks as if air compressor, clutch and fans for ac are not right. If not resolved will blow and damage engine. I have searched and found this is an alarmingly common problem. Is there any move to investigate or initiate a recall? *js

Not an accident. Just concerned that the same part had to be replaced in july 2011 and again in august 2013, and am concerned that this may be a safety issue, as the driver's window becomes inoperable. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda cr-v. While the vehicle was parked, the rear passenger door and tailgate door locks would not engage and the vehicle failed to start.

The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

The horn no longer works. The fuse for the horn has been checked, and is not the problem. This seems to be a safety issue that should be cover for the lifetime of the vehicle, similar to honda's seatbelt coverage. *tr

I was traveling at approx 55 to 60 mph on the fwy. I started to slow down when i saw 2 cars that were at a dead stop in my lane way ahead of me, they just sat there so i hit my brakes harder & my brakes locked up. My car then went out of control and i tried my best to control it. I did manage to keep my car from rolling. My car was going back and forth on 2 wheels on the drivers side and the passengers side. I was also spinning and fishtailing and the back end of my cr-v (passenger side) hit the back end of the driver side of a sedan in the #3 or #4 lane. That impact sent my cr-v straight into the cement center divider of the freeway. I hit the center divider head on and went up and it felt like i was going to go over it onto the other side of the freeway but my cr-v came back down right in front of the center divider with the smashed up bumper facing the center divider. My cr-v hit the center divider hard enough for my body to bend the steering wheel back. Not one of my 4 air bags went off. I had this cr-v in the honda dealer 14 days earlier to repair the airbag recall (i have all of the paperwork detailing this) i have pictures of the injuries from hitting and bending the steering wheel. I also chipped 3 teeth. I have pictures of the airbag sensor and the bent metal around it. The chp officers, tow truck driver, the person that i hit and the body shop personnel all have the same question that do; the airbag should have gone off, why didn't it and why was i injured? I could have been killed. Honda has had several problems with this year and model of cr-v, yet they do nothing about them. The seat belts, & the airbags definitely malfunctioned. I have had 2 other similar problems with the brakes locking up on me and i think that there may be a problem with the brakes or wheels. This car needs to be looked at. I have never had any problems w/any of my 4 hondas past. *tr

The srs dashboard light stayed on while operating the vehicle. The vehicle went into the honda dealer on 2/18/2013. The dtc code read by the technician was dtc 15-2 (faulty side airbag indicator circuit). The opds unit (occupant position detection system) was replaced on 2/25/2013.

2004 honda crv. Consumer writes in regards to recall notices concerning low beam headlight circuit and airbag inflator. *tgw the consumer scheduled an appointment for the two recalls notices he received in the mail. However, when he arrived at the dealer, he was informed the vehicle was no longer under warranty and they could not perform the work needed at no charge. The dealer stated honda would not absorb the cost for the air bag recall, but they would instead. The air bag recall, was performed but the headlights campaign was not. The consumer believed the reason for honda not taking responsibility for the recalls, was because the vehicle had been in a previous accident and was deemed totaled, because the air bags had deployed. The consumer stated he repaired the vehicle with oem honda parts and repaired it back to oem specifications.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda crv. The contact was driving 45 mph and crashed into a deer. The frontal air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed.

2004 honda cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to a potential failure of the power window master switch. *smd the consumer stated he received a recall notice regarding the power windows. He immediately contact the dealer and made an appointment. The consumer stated his vehicle was at the dealer for 9.5 hours, and when he received the vehicle back, it was after dark, so he didn't notice until the next morning, that the power window master switch unit was loose, not sealed properly and was elevated out of its normal housing by 3.8 inch. It was not sealed within the door as securely as before the recall was performed. The consumer returned to the dealer, but the switch still appeared improperly sealed and bulged up from the door housing. The service manager stated the recall required that the power master switch box be stuffed with insulation and then the power master switch unit needed to be forced back into the box to prevent waster from leaking inside. He also stated that the reason for the recall was because water could cause the wires of the power master switch unit to short-circuit potentially causing a fire and he further stated the power master switch unit would not fit as it did before the recall. The consumer stated stuffing the power master switch unit housing with insulation and forcing it back into position so that it was not sealed as securely as it was before the recall was not safe. The switch unit is now more prone to water exposure, short-circuit an fire. The consumer stated honda should have replaced the entire power master switch insulated in its box as a single waterproof-sealed unit.

There is a problem with my seat belts. The local dealership says they are working as designed. I find it hard to believe that honda would agree seat belts that do not recoil while they are on you driving and seat belts that keep you from breathing are designed that way. The dealership said they cannot do anything. They are how they are. The vehicle was purchased new in january 2004. It has never been in an accident. The front seat bets intermittently do not recoil while driving and almost always after releasing them to exit the vehicle. They are progressively getting worse especially while driving. The concern is if there is an accident they might not engage. Sometimes i cannot get them to engage by manually pulling on them while in the car. The rear seat belts have always been extremely touchy. Not having any kids and rarely having back seat passengers this problem wasn't noticed. Recently i rode in the back seat and even slightly breathing would make the belts re-track to the point you can not even breathe out. Again the local dealership said there is nothing wrong with them. Wrote to honda 9/28/2012 requesting they replace the seat belts and currently waiting for a response. *tr

While decelerating on a highway exit ramp, i heard a large whirring noise coming from the right side of the engine compartment. Then a large bang from the engine compartment followed by a thumping noise which started in the engine compartment and ended bouncing underneath the body over several seconds. Stopped the car and looked underneath and on the road, but could not find any belts or material. Took the car into a honda dealership who informed me that the ac was completely destroyed. The estimate to fix was over $4300 for the complete system which over $3000 was in parts. They informed me the banging noise was the compressor clutch locking then flying apart sending pieces through out the engine compartment. There was no mention of a thorough inspection of the rest of the engine or body for damage from the flying debris of the broken compressor clutch. The dealer indicated the alin honda class action lawsuit was not settled and could not give estimates of possible payments. *tr

Master power window switch on driver's door started to burn and i could see smoke coming out of the switch. The result was a melted switch. I have a japan made 2004 honda cr-v with vin # starting with jhlrdxxxxxxxxxxxx.

My air conditioner condenser exploded. I turned on the air conditioner and at first hot air was coming through..Then nothing. Took it to the honda dealer in manassas and they informed me that the air conditioner condenser exploded and there were small metal pieces throughout the line. They wanted over $4000 to repair it. They later counter offered to fix it for $2600. After i did research i found that this was a common problem for crv's 2002-2004. I was told not to drive the car because the condenser could lock up and cause other problems. I don't understand why i have to pay for something that is clearing a damage and defective piece of machinery that was installed by honda. This is my car that i need so that i can continue to serve my community as a volunteer and as a substitute teacher. *tr

As i was driving, without warning i heard a loud "metalic" noise that sounded as though i had run over something. As i was seeking a place to turn off of the road, the sound stopped for a few seconds then returned. At that time, i lost my power steering and had difficulty pulling off to a side road that i found several hundred feet from where the incident occurred. When i got out of the car, i noted that there was a chunk of metal protruding from the bottom of the car near the passenger side front tire. When the car was finally towed to a honda dealer, i was told that the air conditioner compressor had exploded! I understand wearable parts breaking but exploding! I was within a mile of approaching an on-ramp to a 3-lane highway and shudder to think of what would have happened had the explosion occurred on the interstate! Beyond the inconvenience and cost (approaching $2,000), this type of catasrophic incident is extremely dangerous. The explosion caused me to lose full control of my vehicle and most definitely could have caused a very serious accident. *tt

My a/c system blow out hot air about 7day ago. Went to the honda dealership, the service told me the condenser and the compressor of the a/c system stop working. It would cost 3000 to fix. *tr

For the last 3 years we have had three (3) main issues with this vehicle, 1) air bag srs light has been on, 2) the front passenger window will not roll down and 3) the air conditioning system has not operated. From the begining i have checked on recalls/ campaigns for these items and the only recall we received for this vehicle vin # was the air bag recall (btw we took it in for the recal and the srs light is still on). When you look on honda's website to check for recalls no other issues come up with my vin#, yet if you look the vehicle up by the model and year, a whole list of "campaigns" come up under this vehicle. My vehcile has had the same problems as the said make and models for years. I filed a complaint with honda america (case # 04205532) this morning and spoke with "serinity" of the product concern section of honda america and basiclly she is telling me because my particilar vehcile was manufactured in japan (vin # starting with a "j") that no recalls apply to me. But yet i am having the same issues with my vehicle of the same model and year. Honda basically has stated that they cannot offer any help on this matter. Please note, there are other safety "campaigns" that i never got notices, such as wiring harnessess. I took my vehicle into a non-dealer mechanic for air-conditioning services and they stated to me 2 + years ago that this vehicle is known to have a major defect in the ac clutch on the ac pump was designed too close to the engine and thus heats up and shatters into many pieces and flows though the whole ac system thus requiring that the whole ac system is required to be replaced (honda service bulletin # 12-072). Honda has issued a campaign increasing the ac system warranty to 10 years/ 100,000 miles, but again this does not apply to my vehicle, yet i have the same exact issues on my vehicle. Please help on this matter.

While driving at night my low beams stopped working and i could smell smoke. It was very dangerous to just all of the sudden have your lights go out. I couldn't see and others couldn't see me. I turned off the light switch, and the smoke smell dissipated. My high beams still worked. I got online after the incident and realized that i was not alone with this exact type of problem. The problem has been isolated by several other cr-v owners as an electrical problem involving the wiring harness that plugs into the headlight/turn signal switch. In addition, i found an article stating that the nhtsa has opened an investigation of this problem (nhtsa recall campaign number ea11012) . A call to a honda dealership resulted in a very expensive quote to replace the whole harness (several hundreds of dollars). I feel that this particular problem is a safety hazard, and that honda should issue a recall to fix the problem. Updated 12/19/11 *bf *tr

Low beam headlights suddenly went out, both at same time. Replaced with new bulbs, still no low beams. High beams work and fuses ok (high beams are on same fuse as lows). Measured zero voltage at bulb connection for low beams. Major safety issue. I have seen on the forums many owners of 2002-2004 experiencing the exact same issue. It is related to wiring at the headlight switch in the steering column connection overheating. The parts used in these vehicles are the exact parts involved in a recall for civics for the exact same reason. Why not for cr-v's? *tr

On 5/24/2011, as i was driving on a city street, my 2004 honda model cr-v ex-l, with a loud noise came to an abrupt stop. I later learned that the lower control arm of the right passenger side had broken off and caused the front right axle to snap off and the tire became detached from the body of the car. The insurance company geico, had the adjuster looking at the car, on 5/25/2011 and he determined there had been no collision, no unrelated damage to cause this serious problem. The cr-v was towed to the same dealership where i have had the car serviced , i have all my records. In 2010, i went to firestone to have an oil change, all other services were done at honda. The honda inspector looked at the car and determined there was no defect, the car was old and this was the result for such damage to the car. I reported my complaint to honda, complaint # [xxx]. Now i have to pay a good deal of the repairs myself, since my extended warranty had expired. My insurance company will cover the axle and the labor costs. Every honda representative, i spoke to, tells me that the car is old, and this sort of damage is to be expected. At the time that the honda inspector, saw the car, he asked me if anyone else had worked on the car, i said no because, i had always used the honda dealership service department to service my car; later on, i found that in july 2010, i did have an oil change at a firestone service center for an oil change. I am very concerned about driving this vehicle again, and the fact that all the honda representatives tell me that my car is old, and it is to be expected. The car had at the time of the incident a total of 62,342. Miles on it. I should also report that this vehicle had to have 4 sets of tires changed from date of purchase to 2009. Again, the honda service representative at the same location, told me that suv's require frequent tire changes. The master cylinder of this car has also had to be replaced.

Both low beam headlights failed simultaneously. Subsequently repaired at a honda dealer. Repair required a new hi/lo beam switch and connector/wiring harness. I requested old parts and upon inspection, one of the metal connector pins (male and female) was discolored (black) due to heating with some distortion and discoloration of the connector block due to heating. Attached wire also discolored due to heating. *tr

I own a 2004 honda crv and have had problems with the seat belts for over 20,000 miles. Both front seat belts lock when they should not and will not retract until they have been unfastened and pulled all the way out and re-inserted into the buckle. At which point it happens again, and again. I have brought the car to the dealership at least 4 times with the same complaint and all they do is lubricate the belts and say they "cannot re-produce the problem." i also called american honda company to file a complaint, and they will not do anything if the dealership can't re-produce the problem. Which is bull, as i brought the service writer out and showed him exactly what happens. Now the srs light is on the dash indicating there is a problem with either the seat belt tensioners and/or air bags. I am hoping when i bring it in again this week they will actually replace the seat belts. Not only is there supposed to be a lifetime warranty on the seat belts, but it is a very obvious safety issue that neither american honda or the dealership is willing to address unless there is not a proven problem with the tensioners, the dealer gets stuck paying the labor to fix the problem. How many people have to get hurt before the srs light is lit, indicating seat belt tensioner failure, before the problem is addressed? (it took over 20k miles before my srs light came on to indicate the problem i knew existed). *tr

2004 honda cr-v. Consumer states problem with a/c unit blowing warm air.*tgw the consumer was informed the air compressor was bad. *jb

The gas overflows when filling the tank. It literally fountains out of the tank. The gas runs down the side of the car onto the tires and brakes. I am very concerned about the risk of fire when that gas hits hot brakes. I see several other complaints about the same problem on various websites, including honda's site. I bought the car new in 2004. I had no problem for a year. Then suddenly the gas overflowed one day when filling the tank. I took the vehicle to the dealership immediately. They couldn't replicate the problem and said there was nothing they could do. Over the next four or five years the gas overflowed sporadically, probably 3 or 4 times over five years. I almost always use marathon gas. I don't overfill the tank. When the pump clicks off, i typically wait a second, and then remove the nozzle. I will put the nozzle back on the pump and then turn to put the gas cap on, and sporadically, i find the gas literally fountaining out of the tank. In june or july 2009, it happened again on a very hot day and i was extremely concerned. I drove immediately to the dealership again and this time they informed me that a valve, integral to the gas tank, had gone bad and that the entire tank would have to be replaced. That was done. All was fine for the next 20 months. But just last week, the same problem happened again. I am very, very concerned about a possible fireball happening because the gasoline fountains out of the tank, runs down the side of the car, hitting the tires and brakes, and then pools onto the ground. I've had probably a half liter of gasoline fountain out like that. Please look at the other complaints that have been filed. This is truly a safety hazard. I am beginning to think it would be safer for me to have my child outside of the car when refueling this vehicle. It's truly scary when it happens. Thank you very much for looking into this problem. I am waiting for honda's resolution and repair now. *tr

Both lowbeam headlights both stopped working at the same time. I replaced both bulbs but they still did not work. No fuses had burnt out, so started to research. After checking online, i opened the plastic casing to the steering column, and found that the switch had burned and the plastic melted. This is obviously defective wiring on the part of honda, otherwise the fuse for the headlights would have burned out before the switch could have. I find this to be a very important safety issue as this is the primary vehicle for my wife and infant son. Updated 12/12/11 *bf updated 12/13/11 *tr

I have a 2004 honda cr-v ex with almost 69k miles. I have always maintained my car to the gills and just yesterday my a/c compressor blew up, leaving metal shards all through my ac lines. The pulley and clutch (ac clutch) were also destroyed, leaving me with a 2100 dollar estimate. I have done a lot of research online about this issue and it seems that it is happening a lot in the 2002-2004 models. I have also read that they knew the part was faulty and still continued to install it. This is not normal wear and tear and the part has since been redesigned. I have only gotten an estimate, i refuse to pay for this damage when it is clearly honda's fault. There has been a class action lawsuit filed against this problem and if i can find a way to add my name, i will do it. Lack of ac can lead to heatstroke and other health problems. Also, the ac is needed in the winter for the defroster, and i can clearly see a foggy windshield leading to accidents. Honda needs to address this issue as soon as possible and own up to the fact that this part/problem needs to be recalled. *tr

My a/c compressor exploded at around 47,000 miles sending shards of metal throughout the entire cooling/heating system. I was told it would cost about $3000 to repair. That is not a case of normal wear and tear. The part is faulty. It exploded. Honda says it's not their fault, sometimes parts wear out. *tr

Stepped on the accelerator to pass another vehicle and throttle stuck at full speed. Pumped accelerator to no avail. Applied emergency brake and, literally, stood with both feet on the brakes. Engine still raced at full speed, and i was having difficulty controlling the vehicle. River on my right and oncoming traffic on my left. Saw a large, open yard and drove the car at high speed into the yard and turned off the key. When turning the engine back on, it still raced at full throttle with the transmission in park and the accelerator pedal not depressed. Had car towed home and evaluated by independent (not honda) mechanic. His diagnosis was "carbon buildup in the throttle body." emergency brake and regular brakes completely ruined during this incident and in need of replacement. Two grandchildren in vehicle with me. Everyone terrified, but no one hurt or injured. Repairs quoted as very expensive, plus the cost of new brakes. Did not want to ever drive this car again and disposed of it forthwith. Routine google search uncovered similar incidents with the 2004 and other year crv's.

I was driving my 2004 honda crv when someone ran a red light. I hit the gas as hard as i could and the car kept accelerating to red lining even after i took my foot off the gas pedal. I hit the brakes and they seemed to be trying to work buy they didn't stop the car or even slow me down. I put the car in neutral and tried to turn the key and it would not turn. I iwas almost hit twice as i had to go through a light. I headed to a empty building. I figured i would have to crash myself to keep from killing anyone. When i turned towards the building i was able to turn the key off and the brakes worked finally. The car still red lined in park. The car had to be towed and they had to fix the cover over the throttle. It had slipped down and the throttle caught on it. Towing number is 330-995-2385 honda told me no recall on 2004's but heard about the honda 2005 hybrid and that was actually what i went through. Gas stuck and no breaks, it was the most frightening thing i ever went through. It also happened to the mechanic who test the car and then fixed it. I ask honda to report it and they told me to report it to american honda but i decided after the way they acted to report it to you. I could been killed or killed several families. *tr

While driving, car began making loud whining noise. Then a loud bang, and some big piece of metal fell off the car onto the road. Air conditioner stopped blowing cold.

My 2004 honda cr-v's air conditioning stopped working on the afternoon of 9/24/10. The air blowing out seemed to be warm. I made an appointment at a local service station to inspect the a/c for the following morning, 9/25/10. The mechanic removed the lower panel a/c compressor and showed me a hole that was caused by the a/c compressor "exploding" outward. There were a few metal shard pieces left in the plastic panel that covers that area of the vehicle. The mechanic said that he had heard of this happening but had never seen it. According to the mechanic, his parts supplier said that they hear of this often. Both believe there is a manufacturing issue with the compressors. Due to the way that the a/c system in the honda is set up, the entire thing needed to be replaced. Fortunately my mechanic was generous with his costs and labor charges. It cost $1313.52 to fix. I checked online for a recall and called honda america. There is no current recall but i found an online discussion thread with better than 900 comments of folks who all had similar issues with their honda cr-v a/c compressors. Ihttp://www.Topix.Com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tu0okfjgv9v3f3fgl/p49 it appears that the dealerships are charging around $3000 to fix this issue. I should mention that i had purchased an extended warranty but my car has 160,000 miles on it. This issue seems to occur at various mileages. In some cases, the metal shards that blow off of the compressor can either slice into the tires or make a hole in the oil pan. I guess i was "lucky" it didn't do more damage. *tr

We purchased the vehicle as a honda certified vehicle in oct 2007, with 47,250 miles. On sept 7, 2010, while driving on the freeway, my 19 year old daughter (who drives the vehicle at college) heard a loud bang and the then the air conditioner began blowing just hot air. Upon hearing the circumstances, i told my daughter to drive the vehicle home from college. We took the vehicle to our independent auto repair shop where he diagnose the problem as a blown a/c compressor. We had the repairs completed in one day at cost of $757.00 and my daughter was back at college the next day. The old part is available if needed but the mechanic will only hold it for one week. *tr

Just pulled off freeway when i heard a whistling noise and then a loud kathunk. The air conditioner immediately stopped pumping cold air. Went to honda dealership and was told that there had been a catastrophic failure of the air conditioning system. They admitted it was a known honda problem but stated that honda wasn't doing anything about it. Quoted me $1,200 and said i was lucky that it hadn't contaminated the entire system. *tr

On my 2004 honda crv that i have meticulously cared for, started hearing clunking noises, then the a/c was not working. The airport honda dealer (knoxville, tn) said i needed to replace 2 fans for $460 (using non-honda parts) and i had to get a rental car for 3 days for another $131. Someone told me that a/c problems are common on crvs. My car is way past warranty. But i thought hondas were such good cars. I think if this is a common problem, then they should fix the problem for low or no cost. *tr

2004 honda crv - air conditioning compressor stopped working. Made loud popping noise. When i opened the hood you could smell smoke. I noticed sparks and smoke coming from the ac compressor. I bought this crv new in 2004 and had not had any problems prior to this. The honda dealer that i purchased this from says that it will cost $2400 to fix it as it basically needs an entire new ac installed. I searched the web to see if anyone else had this problem, and noticed that it is widespread. Will honda do a recall for this issue? I'm very concerned, as i also have a 2005 crv that i purchased new in 2005 for my wife and see that it is very possible that this could happen to that vehicle. *tr

2004 crv: after several hours of problem-free driving on freeway, we heard a loud popping noise and some clunking/rattling noises coming from beneath the car (sounded like we ran over something and it was bouncing around underneath but there was nothing in the road). Sound ceased for a few seconds and then a few more clunks/rattles before sound ceased again. Then we noticed that the air conditioner was no longer working. All indicators were on, fan was blowing, but air was not cooled. Something similar happened several years ago (approximately 2005-2006) while our car was still under warranty, although it was a more gradual failure, not quite as catastrophic as this event. Dealer mentioned something about metal shards getting blown into the air compressor and fixed it under warranty. We had no idea at the time this was a common problem or that it might re-occur. Car was just serviced and has ~60k on it. Given that there are hundreds of identical complaints about this problem, honda should be held accountable before someone gets seriously hurt. This is unacceptable. We have reported to honda of north america and are waiting to hear from the case manager. Dealer wants to charge us to inspect and evaluate car. If this happens to you, make honda pay up! Don't let the dealers intimidate you and make you think it's your responsibility. *tr

Hot air blowing from ac vents. Thought it must just be low on freon. Looked online and discovered thousands of people with the same vehicle are having the same problem. The compressor blows and causes hundreds if not thousands of $'s to be fixed. Currently the car is at a body shop who told me i got lucky and the repairs would only amount to $835 because the part alone is $550. Contacted honda america and they basically laughed at me and said good luck. Very irritated, but after the report of so many honda's being recalled in the paper yesterday i see why they haven't yet recalled them for this issue. Although i wasn't stranded like some people report engine locking down from this because when the compressor broke it broke their timing belt and radiators, it is still very frustrating and not safe to drive in extreme heat with no warning your air will be out and how much it costs to have it fixed. *tr

The air conditioner clutch froze and nearly stopped engine. Now we have no air conditioning or window defrosting. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda cr-v. While traveling 55 mph, the srs warning light illuminated.

Airconditioner quit working. Thought was just low freon-was shrapnal in my vehicle from the unit disintegrated. Was told lucky i didn't drive any further or the shrapnel would have gotten into the engine, seized it up, possibly crashing in the process. This is something that honda knows is happening. It cost me about $1600.00 to repair, someone is going to continue to drive after losing the airconditioning because they can't afford to fix it and someone is going to get hurt from it crashing. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 honda crv. While driving 2 mph in reverse, she hear a loud banging noise in the engine. Prior to the noise, the air conditioner functioned as if the heat was on.

The dealer stated that she needed a compressor and air conditioner. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer who confirmed that the compressor had malfunctioned. The vehicle was repaired for $2,646.23. The failure mileage was 133,612 and the current mileage was 133,652.

The vehicle was unable to be driven and was towed to a local repair shop where the contact was informed about the compressor failure. The vehicle was repaired but failed again. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The vehicle was on the road going 60 mph when all of a sudden heard like a explosion sound and it made us scared and made us nervous to drive it we have put 3 compressors total. 2 compressor alone and another compressor with the whole things like fans, radiator,for air conditioner hose,etc, everything. Very costly and regardless it has the same problem not working. I don't know if its a safety issue but it should be because i think if it makes that explosion sound that stuff comes out to the air. Honda errors are costing the consumers a lot of money it should be a recall and fix and refunded if possible. I brought this car in 2006 and will not purchase another one. Please if anything can be done so that honda find a solution to this black death issue that's what the complainers and mechanics are calling it. I would be so grateful with this economy its such a hardship. And living in florida the heat is unbearable. Thank you for your time and effort. *tr

I bought two 2004 crv's new in 12/2004. Air conditioner compressors is not blow cold air any more. The job cost $4470 for fixing only this problem. Sounds crazy price. Dealer -they would not admit to me that this has been a widespread problem usa nationwide . Honda should be investigated in my opinion. I think this problem should also handled by "nhtsa" . Vehicle had less than 80,000 miles. If honda does not address the issue i would consider buying my next car from a different company. Never honda car again in my life. Honda america headquarter company should issue recall on honda crv 2004 because many people have the same problem on the air conditioning compressor. I believe that the air conditioning compressor is defective products. Because they are many complaint on internet. *tr

I was driving slowly in the summer when i smelled a burning smell of smoke in my vehicle. Within 5 minutes my air conditioner began to blow hot air. I took my vehicle to a reputable mechanic for inspection. They showed me with the vehicle in the air that there was a hole in the condensing unit of my vehicle. When i asked what could have caused it,they stated that the hole was blown in the unit from the inside out. I took my vehicle to a honda dealership for inspection after that. The mechanics there said that i must have run into a piece of metal. Then, off the record, they stated that many other owners had their ac's go out in the same way and that honda would probably be recalling them. I researched it a little at the time and got no-where with honda. Honda stated since my vehicle was out of warranty, they would do nothing. At the time i gave up...However, with additional replacements that i have had to make that are un-characteristic and untimely for a honda, and with additional inspections by both honda and non-mechanics...I was told that my entire engine assembly was put in sideways by design and that design causes multiple issues with multiple components. I actually had one reputable garage refuse to continue to work on my car because it was so poorly designed and difficult to work on. Sadly, i will never buy a honda again. And i have had 5 honda's prior to this one, bought this one new, and would have been happy enough had honda owned up to the problems. *tr

I have a 2010 honda crv the ac compressor failed at 60k and destroyed the entire ac system the estimated cost of repair is $2500. I live in atlanta and can not own a car without ac. I have been reading on line and this seems to be a common problem with the vehicle. The compressor belt is driven by the engine and if the compressor locks up the engine will stall. If this happen in traffic on the highway this will certainly cause an accident. Honda needs to recall their compressors and replace them with a re-designed unit. If you scan the web you will finds hundreds of similar stories regarding the honda crv compressors. *tr

The lever which locks the steering wheel in the up or down position does not stay in the locked position. It slowly loosens, even while driving. This is scary, especially if i'm making a turn when the wheels moves. I think that this should be a safety recall. I've never had a car do this. *tr

While driving to portland, or. From wa heard a loud squeal from the front of the engine. Turns out the a/c compressor is burned out at 84k miles. Honda said it was my problem and not a safety concern. The one serpentine belt drives the water pump, power steering pump, alternator and the a/c compressor at the bottom of the engine. The portland dealer would not advise me to drive it at all. If the belt burns off do to the a/c compressor seizure the power steering pump would stop possibly causing a serious accident. *tr

After 5 years of problem free driving, my crv started making a loud rattling sound after driving for about 10 minutes.

They told me the compressor had "seized" and that metal particles had been forced throughout the entire ac system. The repairs for this were quoted at $2650. I then saw on the internet where there were 678 posts of the same problem in different year crv's and that honda had reimbursed a few of them. I feel like this must be a very prevalent problem with crv's and there should be some sort of reimbursement, because a car without ac is pretty much worthless. *tr

The air conditioning compressor on my 2004 honda crv internally disintegrated causing damage to the complete system according to my local honda dealer. The service department told me this is a wide spread problem with the crv's. *tr

Air conditioning failure on 2004 honda crv. Working fine, suddenly stopped cooling. Told i had to replace compressor and other parts as it imploded was the word used. Metal, etc all in system. The service manager denied this was a common problem. The cost of the repair will be around $2400. It seems clear this is a well documented issue. *tr
