2011 Honda CR-V Electrical System

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING CORE FAILED TO WORK, THERE WAS AIR BLOWING UNDER THE DASHBOARD, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR, AND A FILM WAS PRESENT ON THE WINDOWS THAT IMPACTED THE CONTACTS VISIBILITY EACH TIME THE VENT CONTROLS WERE USED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ANTI-FREEZE WAS ENTERING THE CABIN AND THE VAPORS CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,300.

ON 15 NOVEMBER 2014 AT 9:09PM MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAVE A GARMIN GPS HOOKED INTO MY COMPUTER AND THIS UNIT CAN READ THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES. THE CODE FOR THIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCURRENCE WAS A (P2422). THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS IS THAT THIS CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 91K MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE 6TH (YES SIXTH) TIME FOR THIS FAILURE. THIS CODE HAS TO DO WITH THE EMISSIONS/FUEL SYSTEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO BE RESOLVED AND IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I AM AGAIN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS OCCURRENCE BUT AM RUNNING OUT OF WARRANTY AND PATIENCE. THIS CAR HAS ALSO BEEN THROUGH 4 BATTERIES, A WATER PUMP, FUEL PUMP AND ALL POWER STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED. THE MESSAGE ASSOCIATED WITH CODE P2422 IS "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM VENT VALVE STUCK CLOSED". IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE FIGHTING THESE ISSUES THAT CAN GIVE ME ANY INSIGHT?? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ABRUPTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN THREE TIMES BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE MEDIAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE RECHARGED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 HONDA CRV BRAND NEW FROM OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL LAST MONTH. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHENEVER I CAME TO A STOP OR SLOWED DOWN BELOW 10 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATED, MY DOORS WOULD MAKE THE LOCKING SOUND EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALREADY LOCKED. IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AS I SLOW DOWN/STOP AND THEN ACCELERATE. THEN TODAY (3/4/2014) THE PROBLEM ESCALATED. I CAME OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE AND COULDN'T UNLOCK THE CARGO DOOR WITH MY KEY FOB. I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR DIDN'T UNLOCK AS WELL. I PRESSED THE BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEY WOULDN'T UNLOCK. THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT PASSENGER AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOORS DID UNLOCK. SO THEN I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER DOOR ARMREST BUT THE CARGO DOOR AND THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR STILL DIDN'T UNLOCK. I HAD TO PUT MY GROCERIES IN THROUGH THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR SINCE THE CARGO DOOR DOESN'T HAVE A WAY TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE, NOR MANUALLY WITH A KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE. IF THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE, THIS CAN POSE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHAT IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY AND YOUR CAR DOESN'T UNLOCK? I JUST DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT COULD BE FIXED. A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS OF DOOR LOCK FAILURES ON CRV'S. SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS (AT LEAST 2007-2011). I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT HONDA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND SERIOUS PROBLEM! I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE APPROXIMATE COST TO REPLACE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. THIS ISN'T A CHEAP FIX! THEY WOULD CHARGE $180 LABOR FOR EACH DOOR THEY WOULD NEED TO FIX ON TOP OF THE COST OF EACH DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WHICH RANGES FROM $59 TO $75 EACH, DEPENDING ON WHICH DOOR THE PART IS FOR. I WOULD NEED 2, POSSIBLY 3, REPLACED SO THAT WOULD BE ABOUT $500 TO ALMOST $750. *TR

ON SUNDAY MARCH 30 I WAS COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE AND I WENT TO MY CAR TO PUT MY THINGS AWAY BUT WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN MY CAR WITH MY KEY FOB IT WOULD OPEN SO I KEPT TRYING FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I DECIDED TO USE THE ACTUAL KEY ITSELF TO UNLOCK AND EVEN THEN IT ONLY OPEN ONE DOOR. ALSO WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE LOCKS MANUALLY WITH THE BUTTONS IN THE INSIDE THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. LATER THAT DAY I TRIED OPENING ALL THE DOORS WITH MY KEY BUT BY THE TIME I GET TO THE NEXT ONE IT LOCKS BY ITSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE MANUALLY OR BY USING THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORTED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL COMPARTMENT, UNDER THE HOOD AND FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL, UNDER THE DASH BOARD AREA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. *TR

STATIC ELECTRICAL SHOCKING WHEN EXISTING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE SECOND DAY OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. STATIC ELECTRICITY SHOCK IS MORE PAINFUL THEN ORDINARY STATIC SHOCK. VISITED THE DEALER, STATED THAT HAPPENS WITH THE CLOTH SEATS AND NO REAL REMEDY FOR THE STATIC ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS. SUGGESTED I BUY ANTI STATIC SPRAY FOR THE SEATS. ANTI STATIC SPRAY HELPS THE SHOCK TO A LESSER DEGREE, BUT DOES NOT LAST LONG. PAINFUL SHOCKS COME BACK QUICKLY AFTER ANTISTATIC SPRAY NO LONGER WORKING. DURING THE RAIN SEASON, THE SHOCKS WERE LESS, BUT THE DRY SEASON IS BACK AND THE SHOCKS ARE BECOMING UNBEARABLE. CONCERN WITH INTENSE SHOCKS IF THEY MAY PLACE A PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER DEFIBRILLATOR IMPLANT IN DANGER. *TR

DEAD BATTERY IN 4 MONTHS. *TR
