VISIBILITY
i purchased a 2010 honda cr v in november of 2009. in january the vehicle had around 2300 miles. my wife and i took a vacation and left the vehicle parked in her parent¿s private driveway. four days into our vacation, my father-in-law noticed that our driver¿s side window was "foggy looking". he got closer to the vehicle and noticed that the tempered glass window was spider-ed and pushed out toward the exterior of the vehicle. he took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the window. the dealer would not honor our warranty, but still replaced the window. i believe this was a manufacturing defect. i also believe this could be serious if it happens when someone is driving down the road and this defect occurs.

SEAT BELTS
i recently purchased a brand new 2010 honda cr-v ex-l on 29 may 2010. i didn't expect to have any problems with a brand new vehicle; however, i unfortunately discovered a very annoying problem with the front passenger¿s seat belt retractor. similar to the problem discussed in the honda service bulletin 05-073, ¿a squeak or rattle is heard from the seat belt retractors while driving over bumps or rough roads.¿ my problem comes from the front passenger seat and not the rear seats. i contacted the dealer i purchased the vehicle from, and they said the problem cannot be repaired. however, the service bulletin 05-073 states the issue was remedied by installing a rubber floor boot to insulate the retractors from the body.

EQUIPMENT
2010 honda crv exl ac popping sound. the 1st 2010 crv that we test drove had a random popping sound coming from behind the glove compartment when the ac was turned on. we asked the dealer for another car. this car seemed to be fine and we purchased it. after about driving it a 100 miles the popping noise started on this car too. when the ac is on i get random popping noise behind the ac controls / glove compartment. other times it will just pop when stopping it might be something that's assembled incorrectly, and makes a popping noise as a plastic parts expands or contracts as the a/c compressor cycles on/off. this could cause some parts to pop if they are binding from incorrect assembly or tolerances that are too tight. currently there are no service bulletins available that are addressing this problem. however i found several complaints that describe the exact same symptoms: http://www.hondasuv.com/members/showthread.php?t=50417 http://www.hondasuv.com/members/showthread.php?p=435971 http://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?p=79026 honda needs to address this issues asap and fix he vehicles.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
had 2 cracks on my 2010 honda cr-v windshield in 3 days. latest one happened when i was driving home and i heard a loud pop and felt debris on my hands and arms. there was no car in front of me and i just passed the vehicle head of an 18-wheeler on the other side of the road and suppose it was a rock that hit my windshield. it broke through the first layer of the windshield (created a hole about the size of a quarter) and shattered the second layer with several 6-8 inches of cracks going in all directions. the debris i felt were the broken pieces from shattered glass. some were quite large (with the biggest one i found a length of 1/2 in) and sharp. they were all over my shirt, laps, hands, and arms. when i tried to remove some on the seat, one piece pinched my finger although no cut was found.

extremely sluggish acceleration from low speeds and from a stop. it is awful to try to merge with traffic on entrances of interstates and highways and just crossing streets that require decent acceleration. this is a hazard to me and those coming on the main roads as well as vehicles following my entrance into traffic. we have connected honda customer service and the dealer. both have acknowledged there is a problem, but as of now have no corrections. we were told that the car is performing as designed. are they waiting until there are deaths associated with the performance of the 2010 crv like toyota did?

the 2010 cr-v has very sluggish acceleration from low speed and from a dead stop. we have a driveway that slopes down, and we have to floor the gas pedal to go up the drive way and even then it goes at a snail's pace. it is difficult to turn into traffic with out having to floor the gas pedal and even then, it can still be inconsistently sluggish (you never know how fast you start going or if you will start going). we have been in a number of near miss situations before we realized that since we can't judge whether the car will actually respond to the gas pedal, there can't be any cross traffic if we are going to pull out. i have contacted the dealer who acknowledges that there is a problem and that one of their service engineers has the cr-v and found the same thing, however, nothing is being done to mitigate the problem. is going to take traffic accidents and deaths before honda does something about this issue?

i own a 2010 honda crv, there is a noticeable hesitation in accelerations from a stop or slow speed. most apparent when attempting to make a left turn against oncoming traffic as the hesitation makes these turns dangerous. as with complaints 10361582 and 10361843 (and likely others), i have taken the car into the honda dealer whose assessment is that the car is performing per specification. i suspect it has something to do with honda increasing the compression ratio for 2010, but not properly tuning the timing for all situations, but i am not a mechanic so it's just an uneducated hunch.

my 2010 crv sometimes doesn't start the first time. this happened more frequently over the last 6 months. what happens is when starting the car there will be a "click sound" but not the sound of the starter.....turn the key to the off position and try again and the car starts normally. always starts normally on the second try. what i heard was a clear buzzing sound coming right from the steering column, near the ignition switch when the key was turned to the start position. no sounds from the engine at all. the sound was like an electrical buzz. after turning the key on and off three times, then the car started normally with no buzzing coming from the steering column. in searching the web, there are other crvs that report the same thing--abnormal sound at first start and then perfectly normal starts on the second try. this is the third time i took my crv to honda dealer for the same problem. first time, battery was replaces. second time, relay was replaced. no problem fixed. *js

SEAT BELTS
on the morning of may 17, 2013, my wife, daughter and i were flying out of town. my wife was in the passenger seat and our daughter in the rear seat. we had a normal drive up to the airport. we parked at express south parking inside the dfw airport to catch the shuttle to our terminal. while my wife and i came out of our car and put our luggage in the shuttle, my daughter did not get out of the car. when we checked on her, we found that she was stuck in her seat and could not get out. it was a big surprise for us to find someone stuck in the car seat who could not get out. although she had removed the belt from the buckle, she was stuck between the lap belt that was on her lap and the shoulder strap that had gone on her back side. she is of short height (5’1’’). we found that the belt was locked and it had become a noose around her waist. we tried very hard to pull the belt to free her but it was very tightly locked and could not be pulled. this created a situation where the belt became a noose. it became a panic situation for us seeing our child stuck in the car and unable to move. luckily, after a few minutes of trying, my wife realized that we had a pair of scissors in our luggage. we cut the belt to free her. although we were lucky that my did not suffer any injury, this problem with belts can lead to a potentially very serious safety situation. for example, in case of an accident or fire, the passenger would not be able to get out of the car this will have serious and deadly consequences.

the engine is consuming excessive oil. to my calculations (and through an abbreviated oil consumption test through dealer), the vehicle is burning 1/2 a quart of oil every 1000 miles (no leaks). before noticing between oil changes the car would go almost dry between changes. the oil light would flicker on and then go off, even though there was less than a quart of oil in the car. the dealer claims having to add 1/2 quart to 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles is considered normal consumption. honda of america claims the same. honda of america had no answer for me as to why the oil light did not remain on when car was running very low on oil. honda of america also has no answer as to why if this is considered normal consumption there is nothing in the maintenance manual to warn the consumer that they may want to check their oil between oil changes. they will take no ownership or responsibility for the situation.

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!

ENGINE
the 2010 honda cr-v was not driving properly, felt like the transmission was slipping/shaky. the oil light came on, so i took it to the dealer (less than 70,000 miles). it was almost out of oil, even though i had been properly maintaining service since buying the vehicle new in april, 2010. the honda dealer serviced the car. i went back shortly after service because we checked the oil and it was low again. they started 'oil consumption' tests. it was down a bit every 1,000 miles but they kept saying it was in the 'normal' range and that it is not unusual to need to add oil between oil changes (i have owned cars for 30+ years and this is the first car that ever need additional oil between changes). i kept taking it in for consumption issues. they would check the oil, top it off, and tell me it was 'normal'. the service person said the service manager presented it to the regional honda service, but they said it was 'normal' too. i started topping off the oil myself as the dealership is a bit of a drive and i wasn't getting anywhere with the complaints. at 86,000 miles, the check engine light came on. i took it to an acura dealership. they serviced the car and reset it. light came on again 3 weeks later. it needs a new catalytic converter @$1,100. bought honda care extended warranty at dealer with car, but it doesn't cover the part. honda is telling me the car is out of warranty and the honda care warranty is not a honda warranty, but 3rd party and they don't control it. i'm out $2,300 for the useless warranty and appealing to honda to replace the catalytic converter. i strongly believe there is a connection between the oil consumption (which the honda dealer said is not a problem with cr-vs) and the need for a new catalytic converter at 86,000 miles.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
at least 5 times now my 2010 honda crv-ex awd car has tried to take off on me while applying the brake to come to a stop. i wrote it off the first time thinking maybe my foot was still touching the gas pedal when i applied the brake. the next time it happened i looked down to make sure my foot was only on the brake. my car jumped forward, even with my foot on the brake. i threw it into neutral and the motor revved up to about 5500 rpms before it decided to stop. this has happened 3 times at a stop light and twice in a parking lot. i'm afraid to drive my own vehicle. i called the dealership and they said they had not heard of any problems similar to what i described and there were no recalls that would be related to this issue. help! what can i do besides take it to the dealership and have it not happen and tell me nothing is wrong.

AIR BAGS
the driver side air bag symbol lights up by itself and goes off by itself; sometimes it remains on for as long as 15 mins or as short as few mins. it is random and not reproducible on demand. there's nothing one can do on a highway if the airbag fails to deploy as one would expect. when i called the dealer, they wanted a diagnostic fee of $125 to find the problem, and if its not reproducible on demand it may take several tries. this is a manufacturing / design defect and honda should own and resolve this issue, as its not even a part that's subject to wear - like the tires/brakes, etc.
