"TAKATA RECALL" L WAITED ALMOST 4 MONTHS FOR THE PART TO COME IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO HONDA CORPORATE AND THE LOCAL DEALER. FIRST CALL WAS MARCH THEY SAID BY SUMMER THE PART WOULD BE IN. I CALLED IN JULY AND THEY SAID NOW IT WOULD NOT BE UNTIL FALL THAT IT COMES IN. I FINALLY HAD TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA AND WITHIN A WEEK THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THE PART WAS IN. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER BECAUSE THEY REQUIRED ME TO SIGN A PAPER SAYING I WOULD KEEP THE CAR PARKED AND NOT DRIVE IT, MY BREAK ROTORS FRONT AND REAR GOT VERY RUSTY. THE CAR SHAKES AND SHIMMIES WHEN BRAKING NOW. THE DEALER SAID THE ROTORS NEED RESURFACED. BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $420 TO DO THAT WORK. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR IT SINCE IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT I HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING, BUT TO CALL HONDA CORPORATE. I CALLED ONE WEEK AGO AND THEY SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL BACK. NO ONE HAS CALLED BACK . I NEED THE ROTORS FIXED NOW. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 30,000 MILES (ON AVERAGE APPROXIMATELY 5,500 MILES A YEAR). IT HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO UNUSUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS OF ANY TYPE. THE BRAKE ROTORS HAVE RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR HONDA CR-V MODEL YEARS 2007 - 2010. HONDA MADE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO CORRECT THE DEFECT ON SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP, CRISWELL HONDA IN GERMANTOWN, MD, CHARGED ME TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DEFECT. THE ROTORS HAVE NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO "WEAR AND TEAR" . MY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER HAVE INDICATED THAT HONDA IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS ESSENTIALLY INDIFFERENT TO THE DEFECT AND INSISTS UPON CHARGING THE CUSTOMER FOR THE REPAIR. BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT BRAKE DEFECT IT IS NOT AT ALL CLEAR THAT THE "REPAIR" WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE THE ROTOR RESURFACE INVOICE BUT THERE IS NO DISPUTE THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR A "REPAIR" THAT DID NOT FIX THE DEFECT. THERE MAY BE A TECHNICAL MEMO FROM HONDA TO DEALERSHIPS THAT REFERENCES THE PROBLEM. PLEASE CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA TO DISCUSS THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. IN APRIL 2013, I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. TO AVOID HITTING A SLOWING CAR, I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND TURNED THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO MOVE COMPLETELY BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE CAR ACCELERATED EXPONENTIALLY, AS IF OVERDRIVE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF OR CRUISE CONTROL HAD KICKED IN (CRUISE WAS NOT ON). THE CAR SPED UNCONTROLLABLY FIRST TOWARD THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND THEN TO THE LEFT WHILE I TURNED THE WHEEL TO STAY ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. THE SECOND EVENT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO A FRONT END PARKING SPACE AT AN OFFICE BUILDING. SPEED WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REGISTER ON THE ODOMETER. TAPPING THE BRAKE CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY, HEADING TOWARD A BRICK WALL ABOUT 8 FEET AWAY. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR AND AVOID THE WALL, BUT TOOK OUT ALL THE FRONT PLANTINGS, A LIGHT POLE AND A SMALL TREE, DOING ALMOST $3,000 DAMAGE TO MY CAR PLUS MORE FOR THE BUILDING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE. THEIR RESPONSE: WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BRING IT BACK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. FOR A WHILE I HAVE ACCEPTED THIS DIAGNOSIS, BUT ANOTHER OCCURRENCE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PROPERTY, TO ME OR TO OTHERS. I HAVE READ OF OTHER INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM PURSUING THIS MATTER WITH HONDA. THIS MUST BE FIXED! *TR
