MY 2012 CR-V HAS CUSTOMIZABLE AUTO DOOR LOCK FUNCTION. IT HAS COUPLE OPTION. 1. WITH VEHICLE SPEED, 2. SHIFT FROM P. PROBLEM WITH OPTION 2. I SELECT OPTION 2. BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MORE SECURE SAFETY. NOT LESS THE SECURE SAFETY. WHEN I WAS ESCAPING FROM CLOSE ROAD, I NEED TO DRIVE BACK. I STARTED ENGINE AND OPEN DRIVER DOOR TO MAKE SURE MY REAR TIRE IS GOING RIGHT WAY. CHANGED GEAR P TO R. AND DOOR DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. I GUESS THERE IS PROTECTION FOR WHEN DRIVER DOOR OPEN AND ENGINE RUNNING, DOOR DIDN'T LOCK ITSELF. I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I ESCAPE FROM THERE AND CLOSE DOOR AND CHANGE GEAR R TO D. AND DRIVE UP TO 40 MPH. AND DOOR IS STILL UNLOCK. THIS IS AN ERROR. THEY CAN NOT ADVERTISE THEY HAVE AUTO LOCK FUNCTION FOR SAFETY. THE FUNCTION GIVE PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND FOR HAVE MORE...

I PAID CASH FOR A NEW 2012 CR-V EX L WITH NAV. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THE CAR BROKE DOWN. I STOPPED FOR GAS AND IT WOULD NOT START.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT HAS BROKEN DOWN SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I'VE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TOW TRUCK AND REPAIRS THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP AND IT BROKE DOWN WHILE AT THE DEALER. IT WOULD NOT START.

CARS AWD ORANGE LIGHTS WERE ON, ON COLD DAYS (6TH AND 7TH JANUARY, 2014, EST). OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS BETWEEN -5F TO -10F (AS INDICATED BY CARS DASH). I DO NOT HAVE A GARAGE. FELT CARS FRONT WHEELS WERE THE ONLY ONES GETTING POWER. I DON'T THINK AWD WAS WORKING. *TR

VEHICLE DID NOT START ON A COLD MORNING (TUESDAY 07TH JANUARY, 2014, 9:30 AM EST). OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND -10F (AS INDICATED BY CARS DASH). I DO NOT HAVE A GARAGE. SO CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE. I CLEARED SNOW ON TOP OF CAR AND I TRIED STARTING, BUT IT WONT START. I GAVE THE STARTER, 10-12 MINUTES RECOVERY TIME BETWEEN TRYING SUBSEQUENT STARTS. BUT, CAR WOULD MAKE CLICKING NOISE. GEICO EMERGENCY ROADSIDE WAS BACKED UP AND THEY SAID IT WILL TAKE 6 HOURS TO SEND SOME ONE. I HAD TO GET IT JUMP STARTED LATER THAT EVENING. ADDITIONAL FACTS: (I USE THE CAR EVERYDAY. I DID NOT LEAVE ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE/LIGHTS ON ON THE ABOVE DAY). *TR

I HAVE HAD 3 BATTERIES IN MY CR-V SINCE PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A BAD CELL (CAR WOULD REQUIRE A JUMP AFTER SITTING 3-5 DAYS WITHOUT BEING STARTED). JUST HAD IT IN THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA THAT CERTAIN CR-V'S WITH CERTAIN VIN'S NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE (PGM-F1) THAT REGULATES BATTERY CHARGING/DISCHARGE. I REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IS A DEFINITE HASSLE AND WONDER WHY HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A GENERAL RECALL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I AM ALSO UNSURE IF THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED, AND WOULD NOT START. BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY HONDA, JANUARY 29, 2012, THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. FEB. 4, WOULD NOT START. *TR
