2009 Honda CR-V

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR- MY DOORS WOULD NOT AUTO LOCK ANY LONGER WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE. THE AUTO SYSTEM CONTINUED TO TRY AUTO LOCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING CLICKING BACK ON AND OFF TRYING TO GET THE DOORS TO LOCK WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. ALSO MY DOORS WOULD NO LONGER LOCK WITH THE KEY REMOTE. MY VIN NUMBER FELL OUTSIDE THE RANGE FOR 2009 CR-V'S WITH THE SAME REPORTED PROBLEM COVERED IN THE SVC BULLENTINE #14-083 FOR REPLACING THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I BELIEVE OTHER VEHICLES ARE EFFECTED LIKE MINE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT ACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA CR-V IN FLORIDA IN JANUARY FOR MY DAUGHTER, JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING RELEASED. SHE HAD TO RETURN TO SCHOOL IN TEXAS WITHOUT THE CAR SINCE IT WAS UNSAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR FOR HER IN TEXAS BECAUSE THE HONDA IS IN FLORIDA. I HAVE NO MEANS TO GET THE HONDA TO A TEXAS DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. SO WE ARE STUCK WITH AN UNDRIVEABLE CAR, AND MY DAUGHTER HAS NO TRANSPORTATION. WE WERE TOLD THE AIRBAG COULD NOT BE REPLACED UNTIL "SUMMER". IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THERE WAS ONE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM WHIPLASH, NECK STRAIN, LOWER TO MIDDLE BACK PAIN, LOWER RIB PAIN, AND SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE VEHICLE BEING INVOLVED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,075.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY,RT 24, 7.3 MILE MARKER(?),SOME ONE CUT US OFF AND MY WIFE WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND TURNED TO THE RIGHT. WE GOT HIT MY ANOTHER CAR IN THE REAR OR SIDE.WE ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY WITH THE DRIVER SIDE ON THE GROUND. THE PASSENGER CURTAIN AIR BAGS INFLATED ALONG WITH OTHER PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS.THE ONLY AIR BAG TO INFLATE ON DRIVERS SIDE THAT WAS ON THE GROUND WAS THE ONE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. WE HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR,WHICH WAS ON THE TOP NOW. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTED (WE SMELLED SMOKE) AND WE COULD NOT OPEN THE MOON ROOF. WHY DIDN'T THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS INFLATE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE? THIS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND. THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS AGAINST THE GROUND. IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS.MY GRAND CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME AND SEEM TO BE OK.MY WIFE HIT HER HEAD,WITH BRUISES ON LEFT SIDE ON BODY AND I RECEIVED A BAD CUT ON MY LEFT HAND. MY LEFT SHOULDER HURTS TO. AGAIN,WHY DIDN'T THE DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOY???? POLICE CRASH REPORT B130201600374A,NJ STATE PLOICE,

WE HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THIS CAR AT LEAST 9 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 2010. TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE BULBS JUST BURNT OUT AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY IN THE DARK. WE HAVE PURCHASES OEM, AFTERMARKET, LONG LIFE ETC WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE CAR WAS MOVING THIS TIME WHEN THE LIGHTS BURNED OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS MOSTLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 100 MILES A DAY, WHICH IS WHERE MY WIFE WAS TODAY, AT APROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE 2002-2004 CR-V HAD A RECALL AND THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THERE IS ZERO RESOLUTION. EVERY DEALERSHIP I CALL SAY THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING THE INFORMATION OUT ON THE WEB. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

THE BACK HATCH DOOR DOES NOT OPEN EVEN IF THE OPEN BUTTON ON THE KEYCHAIN REMOTE IS PRESSED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF TIMES. EVEN THE BUTTON ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT OPEN THE HATCH DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR IS TO PRY OFF A SMALL PANEL ON THE INSIDE OF THE HATCH DOOR AND PRESS A LEVER. THERE IS NO EXTERNAL WAY OF OPENING THE BACK HATCH DOOR. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE HATCH DOOR IS THE ONLY WAY OUT. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE A TOOL OR MAYBE TIME TO PRY OFF THE INSIDE PANEL TO ACCESS THE LEVER TO OPEN THE HATCH DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY/ACCIDENT. ANYONE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE HATCH DOOR MANUALLY. OF COURSE, NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO SEE IF THE HATCH DOOR WOULD OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK STICKS AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT UNLOCK AND CAN'T EVEN UNLOCK MANUALLY. THEY DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR IS PERMANENTLY STUCK CLOSED, CAN'T UNLOCK MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. BACK HATCH IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED CAN'T OPEN AT ALL BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK MANUALLY. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT HOW AM I TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR SAFELY AND QUICKLY. JUST RUN ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CAR UNTIL A DOOR OPENS? WHAT ABOUT MY DOG THAT I USUALLY HAVE IN THE BACK, HOW DO I GET HIM OUT? WHAT IF THE CAR IS ON FIRE OR IF THE CAR IS FLIPPED ON THE SIDE WITH THE WORKING LOCKS? IT'S CRAZY TO ME SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS IN MY VEHICLE YEAR YET THEY LEFT US OUT OF THE SETTLEMENT TO REPLACE THE LOCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH AND MAKING SHARP TURNS, THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWERING STEERING RACK NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I APPLIED MY BRAKES APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT LOW SPEED. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD ALMOST NO BRAKES. I KEPT MY FOOT ON IT AND WHEN IT GOT AS FAR AS I COULD PUSH IT MY ENGINE ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH RPMS. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I HAD A TOW TRUCK COME AND PICK IT UP.
