Was involved in a motor vehicle crash and airbags did not deploy properly

Jul 11, 2024

Crash: 1

Wanting it fixed , just got the car and looked it up and seen that it had a recall

Apr 14, 2023

The SRS light has come on in our 2001 Honda CR-V. Diagnostics at the dealership revealed that the control module is defective, and Honda does not cover its replacement. This is a safety issue, as the airbags will not deploy with the SRS light on. Honda should be responsible for this. Please issue a recall. It appears this issue has been occurring for several years.

Jan 21, 2022

The contact owned a 2001 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, another vehicle had run a stop sign and the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear driver side door of the other vehicle. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. No medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a gas station. The insurance company had not inspected the vehicle to deem it totaled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Prior to the failure, the vehicle had a NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V027000 (Air Bags) recall repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Crash: 1

NHTSA RECALL 20V-027. HONDA HAS NOT REMEDIED THE DEFECT WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE I FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. I FIRST CONTACTED HONDA ON 8-19-2020, AND THEY HAD ME TAKE THE CAR IN ON 10-24-2020 TO TAKE PICTURES. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO HAVE ME COME BACK IN TO DO THE REPAIR, BUT EACH TIME THAT I CALL TO CHECK, THEY SAY "WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE ARE READY." TODAY IS 1-20-2021.

HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN (03-038) FOR A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CYLINDER HEAD. IN SEARCHING ONLINE, MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS WITH CR-V'S MANUFACTURED IN 2001 HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE REMEDY (AS DEFINED BY HONDA) IS TO ADJUST THE VALVES TO SPECIFIC CLEARANCES DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, BUT THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT PASSED DOWN TO CUSTOMERS & MANY ARE FINDING THEMSELVES IN MY SAME SITUATION WITH THE ENTIRE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. A COSTLY REPAIR FOR A FAULTY PART. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS & IS UNWILLING TO COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

2001 HONDA CRV, AIR-CONDITIONER GETTING READY TO EXPLODE. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, BUT LIVE IN BALMY SAN DIEGO COUNTY, SO I'VE USED THE AIR CONDITIONER VERY LITTLE, PERHAPS 25 TIMES ALL TOLD OVER THE PAST NINE YEARS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, BABY MY CAR, AND GET ALL MAINTENANCE DONE LIKE CLOCKWORK OR SOONER. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, THE RARELY-USED AIR CONDITIONER STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE RACKET IMMEDIATELY ON STARTING IT. I STOPPED USING IT IMMEDIATELY, AND CHECK PERIODICALLY TO SEE IF IT'S STILL BROKEN. IT IS. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND WAS STUNNED TO FIND SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 1997-2001 CRV AIR CONDITIONERS EXPLODING, IMPLODING, OR OTHERWISE SELF-DESTRUCTING. I'VE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED VIA EMAIL AND VOICEMAIL THE LAW FIRM OF MAZIE SLATER KATZ & FREEMAN IN ROSELAND, NEW JERSEY WHO IS HANDLING A CLASS ACTION ON THIS VERY ISSUE, THE HONDA A/C DESIGN DEFECTS. BOTH ATTORNEYS MATTHEW MENDELSON AND KAREN KELSON ARE FAR, FAR TOO BUSY WITH THEIR BUSY DAYS TO RETURN VOICEMAILS AND EMAILS, SO I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE FEES OF THE CLASS ACTION, RATHER THAN PROVIDING ANY TANGIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS, MUCH LIKE HONDA ITSELF RESPONSE TO THIS PROBLEM: IGNORE IT. MAYBE IT WILL GO AWAY. I'M DISGUSTED WITH BOTH FIRMS AT THIS POINT. OTHERWISE MY CAR IS IN FINE SHAPE, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH IT AND IT'S VERY LIKELY THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. HOWEVER, THIS GLARING PROBLEM, WHEN IT RIPENS AS IT HAS FOR COUNTLESS OTHER HONDA DRIVERS, COULD DESTROY MY ENGINE, AND FRANKLY I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX IT. LIVING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, SUCH AN EVENT WOULD SHUT DOWN MY LIFE ACROSS THE BOARD. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF HONDA ACTUALLY DID WHAT ADULTS DO, TAKE CHARGE, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN DEFECTS WITH REGARD TO THIS COMPONENT, ISSUE AN APOLOGY, AND WE CAN ALL GET ON WITH OUR LIVES. AS FAR AS THE MAZIE KATZ LAW FIRM, I THINK THEIR ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. *TR

WITH OUT ANY WARNING THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AUTO REPAIR SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA. NEW MODELS ARE BEING REPLACED BUT NOT EARLIER MODELS. WHY IS HONDA NOT FORCED TO RECALL THESE WITH SO MANY CARS NEEDING COSTLY REPAIRS.? *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, AND A REPRESENTATIVE CONCLUDED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE.

OUR CAR HAD A BURNT VALVE LAST YEAR AT ABOUT 90000 MILES. WE BROUGHT IT TO A NAPA MACHINE SHOP AND HAD IT RE-MACHINED. ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE HAD IT REPAIRED AT OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY READJUSTED THE VALVES WHICH THEY SAID WERE WAY TOO TIGHT. THE CAR IS STALLING AGAIN AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THEY REFERENCED HONDA TECHNICAL BULLETIN 03-038. IN RESEARCHING THIS VIA GOOGLE, IT APPEARS HONDA FAILED TO ADVISE AMERICAN-BUT NOT EUROPEAN-CUSTOMERS OF A VALVE ADJUSTMENT NEED THAT RESULTS IN VALVES RECEDING INTO THE CYLINDER HEADS.

AC COMPRESSOR EXPLODED SENDING PIECES OF METAL RIGHT BY THE COOLING SYSTEM. WE HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR AND THE FAN KICKED IN AND THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED

Aug 18, 2016

MY 2001 HONDA CR-V AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR IMPLODED AND SENT SHARDS OF METAL INTO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THIS WAS WITHOUT WARNING, AS I JUST HAD MY AIR CONDITIONING SERVICED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA CR-VS AND THAT HONDA AMERICA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS MAJOR DEFECT. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE I LIVE IN ARIZONA, AND THE TEMPERATURE IS 108 DEGREES, WITH 113 PREDICTED FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS MAKES THE DEFECT VERY DANGEROUS. I AM PART OF A NON-PROFIT RESCUE GROUP AND REGULARLY TRANSPORT PETS; THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF IT HAPPENED WITH BABY KITTENS OR PUPPIES IN THE CAR. THE HONDA SERVICE SHOT SAID THEY TALKED WITH THE HONDA AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE AND THAT HE WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS, DESPITE IT BEING A WIDESPREAD DEFECT AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE IS A LAWSUIT PENDING FOR THIS DEFECT. THE REPAIR WAS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AND AGAIN, I JUST HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM SERVICED AT THE SAME HONDA SERVICE SHOP THAT I HAVE BEEN USING FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE WELL AND HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS. THE CR-V IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, PARTICULARLY FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN STATES WITH EXTREME HEAT. *TR

I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS MANDATORY FOR CARS TO INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. ON THE HONDA 2001 CRV IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IS A DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INDICATOR. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE INVESTIGATED OR EVEN RECALLED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CR-V. AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE AIR CONDITIONER. HE THEN HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND NOTICED FUMES RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAD RUPTURED TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HALF REMAINED. HE COLLECTED A FEW PIECES FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1,631. THE MANUFACTURER ASSIGNED HIM A CASE NUMBER SO THAT ONE OF THEIR ENGINEERS COULD IDENTIFY THE DEFECT. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS, NO ONE CALLED THE CONTACT BACK. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ASSIGNED HIS CASE TO ANOTHER ENGINEER, IN WHICH NOW THEY DO NOT FEEL IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY BELIEVE THAT THE CONTACT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR RUPTURING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR TEN DAYS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 102,000.

MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA CRV. ON AUGUST 2, 2003 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH OUR FAMILY (WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN) FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT FLAT. I USED THE JACK WITH THE CAR TO CHANGE THE TIRE. I FIRST LOOSENED THE LUG NUTS ON THE GROUND. I RAISED THE CAR WITH THE JACK. WHILE TAKING OFF THE TIRE - THE JACK COLLAPSED CAUSING THE CAR TO FALL. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND THANK GOD NOBODY GOT HURT! THE JACK WAS DAMAGED (IT IS TILTED TO ONE SIDE). WHEN I RAISED THE CAR IT WAS ON ASPHALT AND FLAT GROUND. I CONTACTED HONDA USA DIRECTLY PER MY DEALER'S INSTRUCTIONS. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS JACK WAS DESIGNED POORLY AND/OR WAS DEFECTIVE. HONDA REPLIED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD JUST BUY ANOTHER JACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I AM VERY TROUBLED BY THEIR LACK OF CONCERN. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ISSUE ME A NEW JACK UNDER THE WARRANTY AS THE CAR HAD 42,000 (6K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY). I FIND THIS TROUBLING TOO, HOW WOULD I KNOW THE JACK WAS DEFECTIVE UNTIL I USED IT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED ABOUT HONDA'S LACK OF CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY.*JB

IS THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT THE MATERIALS USED FOR HEADLIGHT LENSES ( AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL REFLECTORS ) BE ABLE TO REMAIN CLEAR FOR ANY PARTICULAR NUMBER OF YEARS/MILEAGE? SHOULD DEALERS/SERVICE SHOPS/SMOG CHECK SHOPS/LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES/ETC. MONITOR VEHICLES AND NOTIFY THE DRIVERS/OWNERS THAT THE LENSES HAVE DETERIORATED TO A DEGREE THAT THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD/MUST BE REPLACED? IF THERE ARE CERTIFICATION OF DURABILITY/MINIMUM USEFUL LIFETIME REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON EQUIPMENT/VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS; AND THESE LENSES ARE NOT MEETING THEM, SHOULD DEALERS ETC. BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH MORE DURABLE VERSIONS? A SUGGESTED INVESTIGATIVE STARTING POINT WOULD BE TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN HEADLIGHT LENSES AND THOSE OF OTHER VEHICLES YOU PASS ON THE ROADS. *TR

1. INITIALLY, THE REMOTE DOOR LOCK FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING A BUZZING NOISE, BUT IT STILL WORKED. 2. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE LEVER (PLASTIC WITH A HARD PLASTIC COATING) TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR BROKE OFF..AND CAUSED SEVERAL CUTS TO MY HAND...BUT...IT WAS STILL POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE STUB OF THE LEVER. 3. THE REMOTE DOOR ENTRY LOCK (TO THE DRIVER DOOR) STOPPED WORKING, BUT IT WAS STILL POSSIBLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY. 4. TODAY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITH THE KEY OR WITH THE REMAINS OF THE INTERIOR DOOR LEVER OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS THAT I CAN FIGURE OUT. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF SEVERAL COMPONENTS THAT SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THEY HAVE. *TR

Injuries: 1

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CR-V. WITHIN THE SPAN OF A FEW MONTHS, THE DOOR LOCKS ON ALL FOUR DOORS MALFUNCTIONED AND BROKE. THE LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR BROKE IN A POSITION THAT PREVENTS THE PASSENGER FROM BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. OUR DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $300 PER LOCK FOR REPAIR. WE HAVE NOT YET HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE LOCK FIXED DUE TO THE COST, SO THE LOCK IS STILL BROKEN. WE HAVE ALSO NOT YET HAD THE LOCK ON EITHER REAR DOOR REPLACED, ALSO DUE TO THE COST.*AK

STEERING

2 complaints

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CRV SE 4WD WITH 63K MILES. THREE YEARS AGO AT 30K MILES THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO MAKE SOME KIND OF RUBBING NOISE WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING. IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL TOUCHING METAL. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO POWAY HONDA DEALER BUT THEY REFUSED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS NOISE EVER SINCE. *TR

Oct 25, 2007

IN OWNER'S MANUAL IT STATES TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL SO THAT THE WHEEL POINTS TOWARD THE CHEST AND NOT TOWARD THE FACE DUE TO PROTECTION FROM THE AIRBAG, HOWEVER CONSUMER IS 5 FEET 6 INCHES TALL AND WOULD HAVE TO BE 3-4 INCHES TALLER IN ORDER TO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL POINT TOWARD HIS CHEST, A REP FROM AMERICAN HONDA SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE DEALER TO MODIFY THE SEAT, BUT THIS WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY. *SLC

SUBJECT: WINDOW GOES OFF TRACK & MALFUNCTION EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH & REGULATOR. FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR SO I'VE RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW MASTER POWER SWITCH & REGULATOR. THEN, I THOUGHT IT IS CAUSED BY WEAR & TEAR. THEREFORE, I REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS THINKING THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED: ON JANUARY 28, 2011, THE REGULATOR FOR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS REPLACED BY BRAND NEW PART. ON APRIL 16,11 BOUGHT BRAND NEW WINDOW MASTER POWER SWITCH & REPLACED THE OLD ONE A WEEK LATER. UP UNTIL YESTERDAY (09/30/11), THE DRIVER'S SIDE & THE TWO BACK WINDOWS WERE WORKING PROPERLY. BUT, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS STILL NOT WORKING. YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, AROUND 3.00 P. M., I PRESSED THE POWER SWITCH TO OPEN THE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, THEN I HEARD UNUSUAL SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WENT OFF TRACK. SINCE THEN EVERY THE WINDOW IS OFF TRACK.. THEN, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BY MANY PEOPLE. RIGHT NOW, TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME I'VE TO PAY FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM. BUT, I DISAGREE & I FEEL YOUR OFFICE SHOULD IMPOSE FOR RECALL & HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR ME. BELOW ARE SOME WEBSITES THAT I FOUND ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER: (1).

IT SEEMS THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND ONLY BRIGHT WHEN I USE MY HIGH BEAMS. MY HONDA SEEMS TO CUT OFF BY ITSELF AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT SEEMS NOT TO REPLICATE ITS ACTIONS FOR THEM. IT SEEMS THAT MY CAR WILL ACT AS IF IT IS STALLING SOMETIMES AND THEN WILL NOT TURN OVER. I HAVE HAD MY STARTER CHECKED AND THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE SO THE MECHANIC STATED. IT SEEMS THAT MY DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK AT THE NORMAL TIME THAT IT SHOULD TAKE TO DEFROST. IT TAKES AT LEAST 30 MINUTES TO CLEAR. I HAVE PROBLEMS IN THE REAR SEAT WITH PASSENGERS GETTING OUT OF THE LEFT PASSENGER SEAT BELT. IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK. AND THERE ARE NO OTHER ARTICLES IN THE SNAP TO CAUSE THAT. MY SRS AND ABS LIGHT SEEMS TO STAY ON FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED. THEN WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND APPLYING BREAKS IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO SLIDE, IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON 9-13-04. I HAVE TAKEN THE BRAKES TO GET CHECKED. AND THE MECHANIC HAS CLEARED THEM. I AM GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. AND JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS THAT HAVE COME ON MY CAR AND WHEN WILL I BE NOTIFIED OF THESE RECALLS.
