I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT OF AN OUTDOOR SHOPPING MALL, SUDDENLY THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. I SHIFTED TO L1 TO SEE HOW IT WOULD REACT. NO MOVEMENT. SHIFTED TO L2, STILL THE CAR DID NOT BUDGE AT ALL. FINALLY, I SHIFTED TO R, THEN, IT MOVED BACKWARD. I PUT THE SHIFT INTO D, AND THEN O.K. I REMEMBER, IN THE PAST, THE CAR HESITATED TO START OUT AFTER A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO MUCH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE REPLICATED TO DIAGNOSE IT. I TOLD THEM, I OR ANY ONE COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I TOLD THEM I AM BRINGING IN MY CAR TOMORROW. BUT I AM AFRAID IF THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS ON THE BUSY STREET ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER. I WILL APPRECIATE TO LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE HAD EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. IF NO ONE HAS REPORTED SO FAR, I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM REGISTERED ON YOUR DATA BASE. THANK YOU. *KB

HONDA 2006 CR-V TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DISCOVERING THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM BECAME SEVERE WITHIN 3 WEEKS. HONDA OVERCHARGED FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION RATHER THAN A NEW ONE. AFTER READING THE HONDA COMPLAINTS SITE, I DISCOVERED THAT HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REPLACED TRANSMISSIONS TOO. ALSO, THE REPAIR COST ME $2,358.81 AFTER HONDA SUPPOSEDLY CONTRIBUTED $1,500 TO THE REPAIR. THIS COST IS MORE THAN I WOULD HAVE PAID IF I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, INCLUDING MY TOYOTA CAMRY, WHICH HAD 279,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT WAS REAR ENDED AND TOTALED BY A FORD 150. *TR
MY 2006 HONDA CR-V HAS ONLY 71,000 MILES ON IT. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

313V143000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission
Apr 15, 2013
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 CR-V, Odyssey, and model year 2013 Acura RDX vehicles. During sub-freezing temperatures, the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Honda or Acura dealer. The dealer will install an updated brake shift interlock blocking mechanism free of charge. The recall began on May 13, 2013. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's campaign recall numbers are S96, S97, and S98.
11V395000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission:control Module (tcm/pcm/tecm)
Aug 4, 2011
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2010 ACCORD, 2007-2010 CR-V, AND 2005-2008 ELEMENT PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1, 2004, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 3, 2010. THE OUTER RACE OF THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING MAY BE BROKEN DURING CERTAIN DRIVING STYLES. A BROKEN OUTER RACE MAY CAUSE ABNORMAL NOISE, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT TO TURN ON, AND ALLOW CONTACT BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION IDLE GEAR AND AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR HOUSING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, BROKEN PIECES OF THE OUTER RACE OR BALL BEARING FROM THE SECONDARY SHAFT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE PARKING PAWL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER HAS PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE PARK POSITION. ENGINE STALL AND UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO PERSONS WITHIN THE PATH OF A ROLLING VEHICLE.
Remedy: HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 27, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009.
03V274000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission
Jul 29, 2003
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SHIFT CABLE LINKAGE COULD PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM SHIFTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO PARK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SHIFT CABLE LINKAGE FOR CORROSION. IF CORROSION CAUSES BINDING, THEY WILL REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A NEW CORROSION-RESISTANT CONTROL PIN. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON AUGUST 19, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
