Ignition locked
Ignition cylinder. if key is removed it will not allow you to turn the key to start the car when re-inserted. this problem has left my family stranded. thankfully after an hour of playing with the key i was able to get it started.. cannot remove key until i have the money to fix it, hence not being able to lock the doors which is a huge security issue.
While passing another vehicle driving under the speed limit (25 mph in a 45 mph zone). i accelerated to pass, my car began to speed faster and faster without me being able to control or stop the vehicle. both feet were slammed on the brake pedal but we reached 70mph, but i couldn't stop the car. i pulled the emergency brake and yet the car continued. we rode on both the brake pedal and emergency brake for at least a mile. it only slowed down a little, but i was able to drive on the shoulder and luckily didn't come to any stop signs or traffic lights. i was finally able to stop my vehicle n front of a restaurant by turning the ignition off, while still moving. with the car finally stopped, i put the car in park and immediately checked to make sure there was nothing obstructing the pedal causing it to accelerate. there was nothing. nothing appeared obviously wrong under the hood, except a strong burning smell from the brakes. i turned the ignition on while in park and the speedometer went to 140 mph, the rpms red lined (without pushing the break or gas pedal). i turned the car off immediately. we then put the car in neutral and rolled it into the restaurants parking lot. i called aaa to have a tow truck bring the vehicle to a local mechanic. luckily, i was able to stop the vehicle before any person was injured, killed or damaged property. the mechanic contacted me and recommended that he not touch it and to have honda pick it up and take it back to the dealership for their mechanics look at it in case it was a manufacturer's defect. i went to the honda dealer in person and spoke to the service manager, he was visibly alarmed by the events that happened on sunday. he said that he would check the vehicle for any issues. dealer picked up the vehicle from mechanic. the honda dealer said they looked at the cr-v and couldn't find anything.

The ac compressor stopped working throwing the belts out of the car. this happen 6 years and 4 years ago twice.
Have to manually lock and unlock the driver's side door. also key will not go into the lock. have to unlock the passenger side and manually unlock the driver's side door.
Three bolts hold on the clutch master cylinder cover.one bolt head head was sheared/blown off upon depressing the clutch pedal when starting the car. brake fluid leaked out. clutch was inoperable and power braking diminished. the clutch master cylinder was replaced and 11 months later the same incident occurred. the bolt head position that was blown/sheared off was the same in both incidents.
The ac compressor literally exploded, causing other damage.
I called honda about my air condtioning system and did as they said. i brought my car to an accredited honda dealership and had it diagnosed (which i had to pay out of my own pocket). they quoted me $4,000. i contacted honda usa and after three month i finally heard back from them, i informed them that i was not the first to have this problem, that i had gone online and found that i was not the only honda owner who have had there air conditioning system break. the honda representative told me that they can not go by what i read on the internet. which is true to a point but i think they had have many complaints about this problem already because the representative use the same description i have read about the air conditioning unit, which was "air conditioning unit has cracked causing shards of metal to plug up the unit, causing a complete replacement of the entire air conditioning unit. honda usa quoted me $3,991 to fix my a/c with a deadline of 60 days to accept or they would recind the "discount" offer. i know a/c problems is not a safety issue but i feel that honda knew or knows about this problem and should recall or show there loyal owners that they care. until such time i am now a former honda customer. *kb
My 2002 honda cr-v gas cap kept coming loose. we went back to honda a bought a new gas cap, but within weeks that too kept coming loose. i just brought my car in to honda because of a failure with the drivers door actuator and switch and the check engine light is now on and i was told that the reason the cap kept coming loose and the light is on was because i needed the replace the filler neck. this repair was going to be over $300.00. since i had just spent a lot to fix the door and switch, i decided to wait until i could afford it. in the meantime, i am tightening the cap daily so that the smell of gasoline goes away.
Air conditioner failed on my 2002 honda crv. upon turning the a/c dial on, a very loud grinding/knocking sound was heard by the engine comparment and killed the engine off.
Srs light on in dashboard lights, what is that for and how do i fix it?
There was a loud rattling noise coming from my air conditioner. my husband took a look at it. when he turned the air conditioner on and went around to the front of the car. the ball bearings in my compressor failed and the compressor exploded. shards of metal flew from under the car. from the research i have done there have been a lot of honda crvs doing the same. if anyone was standing near the car at the time of explosion, they could have been hurt. *jb

Me 2002 honda crv has a defect in a motor mount. the dealer said this is not a safety issue. it is annoying; when i drive on bumpy roads, there is a "thunking" sound. i have reported this to american honda. i 've talked to my dealer several times. they cannot repair without approval from honda.
