NEW 2009 HONDA CR-V, WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES I STARTED GETTING BAD VIBRATIONS AND CAR VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND THEN TO THE LEFT. HONDA OF OCALA TRIED TO BALANCE AND ALIGN THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE VIBRATION. FELT LIKE TIRES HAD A BALD SPOT. AFTER 3 TRIES, THEY DECIDED TO EXAMINE THE TIRES (BRIDGESTONE / DUELLER HT'S) AND FOUND THAT 2 OF THE TIRES HAD BELTS THAT SEPARATED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES IF I HAD NOT PERSISTED. THEY REPLACED THE TIRES AND A RIM WITH SAME TIRES ONLY NEW ONES. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE VIBRATIONS AND THEY AGAIN THINK IT IS THE TIRES. CAR NOW HAS 2500 MILES AND IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH HONDA WHO JUST SAYS THE TIRES ARE NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, SOME WITH CRASHES AND SERIOUS INJURIES BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES. SOME HAVE REPORTED THAT THE SIDEWALLS EXPLODE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY NEW VEHICLE AND I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO STOP PUTTING THESE TIRES ON THEIR VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE ONES OUT THERE WITH DIFFERENT ONE. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA CRV IN FEB. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE REAR/SIDE VISIBILITY DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND VOICED MY CONCERN TO THE SALESWOMAN. SHE ASSURED ME THAT I "WOULD GET USED TO IT." WELL, I HAVEN'T! I HAVE SERIOUS VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN BACKING UP AND CHANGING LANES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. (I AM A VERY SAFE DRIVER AND HAVE NEVER BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRAFFIC VIOLATION OTHER THAN 1 SPEEDING TICKET OVER 30 YEARS AGO AND 1 PARKING TICKET THAT COULD NOT BE AVOIDED.) I BACKED INTO A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT IN MID APRIL, DAMAGING THE REAR RIGHT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE-IN THE BLIND SPOT. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE I WAS VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I CAME VERY CLOSE TO A WOMAN PUSHING A BABY IN A CART. I WAS HORRIFIED AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND AMERICAN HONDA-BOTH UNSUCCESSFULLY. I SPENT HOURS E-MAILING AND TALKING ON THE PHONE, ASKING FOR A SOLUTION FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM FROM BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. A MAN THAT I SPOKE WITH AT AMERICAN HONDA TOLD ME THAT THE DESIGN OF THE '09 CRV IS THE SAME AS THE '07 CRV WHICH HE OWNS. HE STATED THAT HE HAD PARTIALLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY ADDING SMALL ROUND CONCAVE MIRRORS LIKE THOSE USED FOR TRAILERS/RV'S, BUT DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT HE HAD SAID THIS. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I OWN A NEW, BUT DAMAGED, VEHICLE THAT HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WHICH CAUSES MAJOR BLIND ZONES. I FEAR THAT IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON ALL OF THESE CRV'S DRIVING AROUND, MORE PEOPLE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. I FEEL THAT AMERICAN HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW. FINALLY, TODAY THE ASSIST. MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE SENSORS PUT ON THE VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND REMARKED: "THEY'RE NOT CHEAP." UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
