2014 Honda Crosstour

ON SEPTEMBER 3,2018 WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 81 S AT EXIT 39 IN SMYTHCOUNTY VIRGINIA, AS THIS DRIVER ACCELERATED UP TO SPEED, SAID VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED BY THE DRIVER. THIS OCCURED AS THE VEHICLE SURPASSED 25MPH. THIS DRIVER NOTICED THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY CRUISE CONTROL AND IMMEDIATLEY ATTEMPTED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS WERE TURNED OFF THE ACCELERATION WAS NOT ALTERED; THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT RAMP WAS TAKEN, THIS DRIVER USED THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO DECELERATE TO THE SPEED IN WHICH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGED. THIS DRIVER THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION OFF, HOPING THE POWERING DOWN OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SERVE TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE. THIS DRIVER THEN TURNED TOWARD HOME, ONLY TO ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEM. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN SLOWED TO THE SPEED OF AUTOMATIC DISSENGAGEMENT, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THIS DRIVERS RESIDENCE AT A SPEED OF 25MPH OR LOWER TO KEEP THE CRUISE CONTROL FROM ACTIVATING.

THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER ON 3/19/2018 AND GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND GOT MY TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED( AND THEY WERE FINE) WHILE RUNNING MY CAR THROUGH THE CAR WASH THEY CRACKED A WHEEL VALVE, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK ON 4/3/18 BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER WHEEL VALVE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TIRES HAD DRY ROTTED

WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2014. THE BATTERY PREMATURELY FAILED FIRST AND NOW WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STARTER NOT ENGAGING. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START AND IT HAS DONE THIS ON THREE DIFFERENT OUT OF STATE ROAD TRIPS. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM AT THE MOMENT. THE CAR HAS 55000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY.

THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CROSSTOUR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM AND VISUAL DISPLAY FEATURE, WHICH DID NOT FUCTION PROPERLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT ONLY THE ORGINAL WINDSHIELD GLASS BE USED FOR REPLACEMENT RATHER THAN AN AFTERMARKET WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD EXHIBITED A CRACK. THE INSURNACE COMPANY AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SYSTEM DID NOT FUNCTON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS RECALIBRATED DUE TO THE AFTERMARKET GLASS. THE MANUFACTURER'S ORIGNAL WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTUER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON DARK NARROW ROADS, THERE IS LITTLE OR NO VISIBILITY ON MY RIGHT SIDE UNLESS I TURN ON HIGH BEAMS--WHICH I CAN'T DO IF THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE OTHER LANE. IF I GO UP AN INCLINE, I SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DARK SHADE THAT LOWERS TO THE POINT THAT I CAN SEE JUST A LITTLE AT THE BOTTOM. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DEALER'S GARAGE AT NIGHT, WHERE I FACE A ROW OF TALL TREES, THERE IS A DISTINCT SEPARATION OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS ACROSS THE TREES, WHICH THE DEALER SAID IS EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD BE. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN I EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE A CURB, DITCH, ETC. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY EYES THE FIRST TIME WHEN ALONE, BUT SINCE THEN, TWO PASSENGERS WITNESSED THE SAME THING. IF THIS "IS AS IT SHOULD BE", IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW. AS FOR THE SEAT AND VISIBILITY ISSUES, I AM SHORT AND THE SEAT IS RAISED TO ITS MAXIMUM. THAT AND THE LITTLE LEDGE OUTSIDE THE WINDSHIELD OFTEN HINDERS MY VIEW OF CURBS, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING LIT EXITS WITH CURBS ON BOTH SIDES. AS A RESULT, I HAVE JUMPED CURBS A NUMBER OF TIMES. I HAVE BEEN SITTING ON CUSHIONS BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T HELP MUCH--PLUS IT AFFECTS MY ALIGNMENT WITH THE LUMBAR SUPPORT.
