    There is a violent shaking feeling coming from the engine area along with a loud constant rattling sound coming from the same area. This happens when driving and when stationary. The dealership said it was a tensioner (?) arm and charged me $580. The sound persists and is worse when the air conditioner is running. Also the back seat passenger side lock makes a loud buzzing noise when locked or unlocked.

    The door lock actuators were under a previous recall for a defect on the part which expired in 2015 - sb 14-083 and 14-084. The problem could become a safety problems if someone gets in a car accident or has a car fire and either the driver or their passengers cannot get out of the vehicle quickly unless the driver unlocks the door for them and you have to quickly open the vehicle door before it locks on you again.

    I purchase honda crv 2008 2 years ago and my ac went and now only blows hot air. Honda deal says there was recall that expired 7 years after original purchase date that would have covered a damage ac compressor. There tons of complaints on this issue. My car has less then 100k and they won't honor it anymore. Very expensive to replace 1200k or more

    This is a complaint on the law. I keep getting harrassing recalls for a car that was sold abroad because the wi dmv shows me as th last registered owner. Honda will not stop mailing me because they say the law requires they repeatedly send notices to the last known registered owner. The dmv cannot do anything because i am the last known registered owner. The law should allow for me to remove my name voluntarily.

    Air conditioning failed ,according to recall notice, due to bad design. Auto has only 90,000 miles. Which is less than 100,000 miles as defined in recall notice. Can anything be done to fix the failure? Thanks

    The front and back passenger side door locks and make clicking sounds whether you are moving or still. When it locks you can not get out or in the vehicle. Back liftgate does the same thing. We have to crawl across the back seat to retrieve what is the very back. It happens if we are still or moving. The problem started a little over a year ago and has gotten worse.

    A/c clutch and coil is poorly designed. In the 2002-2009 honda cr-v there's no head shield or housing. Consequently, will disintegrate the compressor of the a/c system. In addition, when the a/c clutch explodes it will shoot shrapnel or pieces of metal. Again because of the poor design it's a matter of when not if this part will break or malfunction will may cause someone bodily harm. A service bulletin was issued…
