Problems with 2002 Honda CR-V ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Smoke started arising from the steering column while driving on a city street during the daytime. driver was not using lights at the time and was using normal occasional turn signals for a urban metropolitan area. the turn signal was evaluated and showed melting of the turn signal switch and the terminal harness. this is similar to what is described in nhtsa 12v-136 or 12v-486. honda america and honda dealerships said the 2002 honda cr-v was not included, because vin was not included in the recall. however, the model and year of the car were included and having the same problems described as previously mentioned recalls.

Driver's window works, but passenger and back seat windows wont work. i'm seeing many other people with hondas have the same problem! also, the windshield washer won't work.

The passenger side power window switch smoked and stopped working. there was a recall for this and i would like to know if the repair would be covered. the passenger window side is the only one affected.

Drivers side seat belt will not always click into lock. drivers side seat is very loose. malfunction light will not turn off.

This is for my honda crv 2002, we have enough trouble for this car from airbag to power windows and now is the ignition key thats losing contact, the car wont start after 5 or 6 times of trying to turn the key to start mode. i searched online and found that this is a known problem for this car. i called honda and they said that they're not aware of this issue. im writing this email to get some help from you to address this issue. i dont know why honda always play this game of not helping out the consumers right away, they always wait until someone gets hurt or die before they act on this kind of issue. this ignition switch is very dangerous, what if my car stall in the middle of the freeway? this is very very dangerous and scary... thanks for your help

While driving, i felt excessive smoke and heat coming from the power window master switch. i immediately took it to a mechanic and he told me that for some reason excessive heat was generated in the switch and this could have potentially melted the switch or could have caused a fire. i discovered honda crv year 2002-2006 have a "nhtsa campaign number: 12v486 , honda's campaign id: s61" for recall on power window master switch. but my specific vin number isn't covered under it. i contacted honda "product concerns" department as i experienced exactly the same what the nhtsa campaign number: 12v486000 is covering. i wanted honda to acknowledge my issue and initiate an engineering analysis for my vin# and provide me with their findings. but they told me they can register my complaint (#n012015-03-1601127) but they won't do anything as mine isn't identified in affected vehicles under campaign id 12v468. the regional manager of product concerns also told me that they don't know if any past work was done on my vehicle that caused this. i am the owner of this vehicle since march 2008 and did not get any work done on master switch and it worked fine until saturday, march 1, 2016. not only this, my complaint asks for an engineering analysis, a proper technical diagnosis to identify what if there is another batch manufactured at a different plant/vendor/country that is also potentially at risk as what campaign 12v486 was. we won't know until honda does the diagnosis but as of now, they seem to be least bothered. in texas,you cant live without windows when a/c isn't working. this vehicle is almost useless without windows. please initiate an engineering analysis with honda and have them look into it as my experience was exactly the same listed in campaign 12v486. smoke, excessive heat, risk of potential melt/fire. need your help to enforce quality and safety of vehicle owners. *tr

I just discovered that this vehicle had a recall for the master switch. i deliver mail with this vehicle. as i was driving from one mailbox to another the smell of something melting was overwhelming. the window on the passenger side was not rolling up anymore and i then realized something had gone wrong. as i never owned this vehicle during this recall i never received a notice. i ended up discovering what was wrong myself and replacing the switch. this vehicle no longer had a warranty. *tr

2002 honda cr-v. consumer writes in regards to vehicle electrical problems . *smd the consumer stated she would always put the keys in the seat, while at the gas station. the vehicle locked automatically if they keys were in the vehicle, but not in the ignition. the consumer stated she was locked out several times, just by laying the keys down. there was no signal or alert that the headlights were on, as she accidentally left them on. also, the interior light would never come on, when she opened the door, the headlights were replaced, the seat belt would not retract. the air bag light illuminated. the consumer received a recall notice, regarding the issue. the dealer informed the consumer, she would have to pay $100 diagnosis fee, to determine, why the light was still on. *jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. while driving 25 mph, the instrument panel flickered and the vehicle stalled. in addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 88,000.

We bought this car in march, 2013. now in 2014, we noticed the ac wasn't working we attempted to recharge it with freon, but i was told the compressor needed to be replaced. the compressor was replace, the condenser, lines, ex valve, even a sensor. pretty much all the ac system has been replace. now we have noticed that once the compressor is on. it causes the engine to stall while driving or making turns. it feels as if the compressor will cause the engine to turn off. as if not bad enough once the car is on park with ac on the compressor will shut-off and the ac will start blowing a humid-smelly air. once it does this, the compressor's emergency valve will open and flush some freon. it is a very serious safety hazard. i don't feel safe driving the car with my family in it. specially now that i've read about all the other recalls and complains. doing my research now (which is too late), i found that honda was sued due to this issue. ac compressor malfunction is to be found in 02-04 honda crvs. our crv has been back at the mechanic 3 times the last month, and yet the issue cant be resolve. the mechanic says it has to do with the way the system was design. alternator and compressor share the same band. i'm afraid and concerned that at somepoint both things will give-out while driving. *tr

As, i was backing our car out of our garage on the morning of 4/1/2014, i noticed a foul odor, looked down and saw smoke coming out of the master window switch (mws). my husband said he saw smoke also coming out of the speaker as well. i stopped the car and we all jumped out of the car thinking it might catch on fire! the smoke eventually subsided, although a terrible, toxic-like smell remained. we feel fortunate that at least that i was only backing our car out of the garage when the switch started smoking. if i had been driving on they freeway, i could have crashed. for a couple of weeks before this incident, the mws hadn't been working correctly: the front right passenger window could be unrolled from the mws but would not always roll back up from the driver's side switch. this had happened before and i had to pay to get a new mws installed on 3/4/2010. i am aware that there was a recall for this part and that our vin number wasn't included, however it obviously should have been! i was told by a service advisor at honda of escondido that if the mws gets wet, the moisture can cause the part to short out, overheat, and the grease gets really hot and smokes, smelling terribly. our switch did get wet from rain both times before the switch malfunctioned because the switch is in a car door, and when it rains, it's going to get wet! both the original mws that came with the car was faulty and the mws that i paid to replace it in 2010 was faulty as well. i do not feel safe with the new mws i've just had to buy to get installed again, because i fear the same thing will happen again. this part should obviously not be used in cars as it is potentially dangerous. the part should be recalled and replaced with a mws that will withstand moisture from rain and/or snow without malfunctioning. *js

Upon exiting parking garage, needed to lower front lh window with power window switch in order to swipe gate key pad. upon pushing the front drivers switch to lower front lh window a very strong smell (like something burning) was immediately noticed. window did lower, occupant was able to access keypad, passed thru gate and then proceeded to raise drivers window. pulled over to the side, raised engine hood to inspect if a fluid leak was visible and none noticed. proceeded to drive home and instructed my husband that i had a bad smell/odor emitting in the cabin. we next found that the front rh passenger window was not operative. after extensive internet searches, we pulled the front drivers side switch, popped the door bezel first, then took the 3 screws that holds switch to bezel. my wife walked up while i was disassembling and she said "that's it, that's the smell" !!!!!!!!!! i then proceeded to take off the window lock button and then the 3 screws holding back plate onto switch, and further disassembled. once i had the control board in hand i immediately noticed the "melting" of the drivers side window switch. it appears the front lh and front rh electronic mechanisms arced and melted. i have photos if interested. i ordered a new switch from honda dealer at a cost of $200. i also contacted honda customer relations and they recorded my complaint but would not help us in terms of compensating us (full or partial) for new switch. this vehicle was not part of the recall 2002-2006 for melting door switches, maybe it should of been. i would ask nhtsa to re-evaluate the initial recall and widen the scope of vehicles affected. clearly our situation shows that there are vehicles outside of the recall that are suspect. the risk of fire of a component that has been clearly described as "high risk" is not acceptable, to me, my family or others that own similar vehicles. *tr

2002 honda crv: i was making a turn from a stop light, into the freeway on ramp, and i heard a loud gear dragging sound from the engine compartment. i lost power steering and the car and it was pulling to the right. i immediately attempted to pull over just as i was ascending on to the on ramp, however the engine stalled and smoke was visible coming from the engine bay before i could safely pull over to the shoulder. i had to put the gear on neutral and push the car to the shoulder. it was nerve racking with my wife and two kids in the car. i noticed that fluid was leaking underneath the car. i inspected all the fluid levels and realized that it was from an air conditioner compressor failure, which caused the accessory belt to drag and stall the engine. the vehicle restarted but ac was not functional. *tr

The drivers side power window control is shorting out. the front passenger window would not go up all the way about a week ago it was manually fixed by my husband but the controller on driver's side was shorting out. there was a recall on certain crv's but we never got one and now our car is acting up just like the recall. when i called both the local honda dealership that we got the vehicle from and called directly to honda i was told that my vehicle didn't qualify since it was not recalled. i feel that since my car is doing what the recall said, it should be part of the recall repair since this is now a safety issue. could you please let me know how best to handle my car situation. i have been a loyal honda owner for years and really love my crv. i plan on sticking with honda because we have always been very satisfied. look forward to hearing back from someone on this matter. *tr

Door lock does not work with the remote or manual key. door locks sporadically move up and down with out touching door lock switches. i spent $300.00 on genuine honda parts and had my mechanic install a new actuator and lock mechanism, and the problem is exactly the same. i want to take the car to honda and ask for a total reimbursement and a final repair. i am surprised there has not been a recall on this particular problem because of the number of complaints about the key locks on these models. a local television station ( with a problem solving segment recently covered this problem.) can you please help me in any way? thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) *tr

I was wondering my 2002 honda crv isn't up for a recall for the power master window switch like the other 2002 honda crvs? while i was driving i smelled something burning and it was coming from the window switch and after looking up the recalls i found out my car could set on fire without it even being on! but when i type in my vin that specific recall doesn't come up but yet it is the same malfunction and it is obviously dangerous and i have been driving without being able to roll down any windows for going on nearly four years now it is ridiculous. i had to unplug the window switch harness for fear of fire and my life

Replaced my ac compressor for the second time in less then two years. *tr

I responded to a recall notice for the airbag inflator. i had noticed, immediately thereafter, that my horn and cruise control is inoperable. i contacted service advisor who asked to bring the car back in. she agreed that the mechanism for these inoperable parts is in "close proximity to the air bag inspection areas", for the recall. however, they claim they "... are not liable for the cable reel" and will charge to have it fixed. and just yesterday, in the process of getting my window fixed, the same dealership left out the moisture shield and disabled my door locks which are superficial issues that they somewhat resolved. however, i still do not have a working horn or cruise control because these were consequentially damaged after innocently responding to an airbag recall inspection. *tr

I started having problems with the driver's side door lock actuator. the remote key fob quit working and the key would get stuck while trying to open it manually. i notified garcia honda on 06/06/12 and they gave me an estimate of $210.00 plus tax. on 07/10/12 i had it repaired at another shop for $159.00 plus tax. i kept having problems and had it repaired again on 07/26/13 for $187.50 plus tax. i recently read that there is a class action suit for this problem because honda knew about the problem and never admitted it or notified the owners. also i noticed that i was never notified of 5 of the recalls for my vehicle: 1. seat belt pretensioner 11/26/01 - this was before i bought it, so i'm not sure if it was taken care of. 2. front seat anchorage 09/17/02 - i bought it on 10/24/03 and have always had problems with the driver's seat rocking back and forth. it feels wobbly and not secure. 3. metal particles in ignition 10/27/03 - i had just bought my car 3 days before and never received a recall for this problem. 4. curved tempered glass 12/11/07 - never received this recall either. 5. driver power window switch 10/5/12 - i remember having problems with my window at some point but i can't remember when. i never received this recall either. on 09/27/04 i was on the highway doing 80mph and the gas pedal disengaged and i had no control of the acceleration of the vehicle. i waited until i saw a rest area and pulled over. my boyfriend and son fixed a cable and we were able to get home. dealer said it wasn't related to the shift cable recall. i also received a recall for the driver's side air-bag in may 2011, had it checked on 7/21/11 and they said no replacement was needed. apparently they lied!! i have been driving around for 4 years with several safety hazards. i am very upset and frustrated and would like help with my complaints. thanks. *tr

On june 25, 2012, started engine and lowered driver-side power window. noticed smoke rising from the driver-side power window switch. contacted local honda dealership within 20 minutes. did *not* receive a recall notice (nhtsa campaign number: 12v-486) from honda motors (honda campaign recall number: s61) since the vehicle was manufactured in december 2001 (i.e., vehicle was manufactured before the february 19, 2002, through july 28, 2006 recall dates). *tr

The driver's side door actuator failed. i have to open the driver's door with a key and the remote doesn't work on the driver's side. the other doors lock with the remote but only after the driver's side door is locked by key. this has also affected the interior lights which don't light when the door is open. *tr

On may 5, 2012, the window control panel on the driver side of my 2002 crv sparked in flame and emitted smoke and fume that smelled like burnt plastic and toxic chemicals. i had to pull over on the freeway because the fume stunk up the interior of the car. my husband and daughter in the back passenger seats were terrified by the incident. i observed the flame burnt the plastic of the control panel and i was unable to use the automatic buttons to open/close the windows. i believe this is the second time my crv experienced this problem with the window control panel. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. while driving approximately 60 mph with the low beam headlights activated, the low beam headlights suddenly failed. the dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the failure could have been caused by the headlight switch. there was an investigation under nhtsa action number: ea11012 (exterior lighting:headlights:high/low beam dimmer switch electrical system:wiring:interior/under dash exterior lighting:headlights:switch) that could possibly have been related to the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 221,000. updated 01/04/12 *bf

Low beam on passenger side headlight browned out to almost no light. it has taken several light bulbs over past few years. upon my inspection, found harness plug for light bulb was charred and damaged. *tr

Both low beam head lights went off intermittently . and returned on within a short time later .this continued over a dozen times on each of two occasions.

While driving my low beam head lights went out and i could smell something burning i immediately pulled off on the shoulder of the highway at 1:30 am. the burning smell was coming from around my steering column. i checked my high beam head lights and they worked so that is how i got home. my husband got on line and checked for any recalls and found non just complaints about other people having the same issue. my husband checked where the burnt smell was coming from and found the issue and called the dealer ship and they said that we had to pay for it and gave us a crazy amount to fix it. my husband as handy as he is did a temporary fix on it. i hope honda fixes this issue before someone gets killed or hurt. *tr

Detected a burning smell, similar to an electrical smell like something melted. i did have the headlights on, but it was bright enough in the morning that i couldn't tell that they had failed. i stopped immediately and looked around the cabin, etc. for smoke. i didn't see anything, but i turned around and drove directly to the dealer. the dealer did diagnostic tests, etc and couldn't figure out the source of the burning smell other than it wasn't coming from the vents. i guess he didn't check the headlights. i am not pleased. after leaving the dealer during the daylight hours, i later detected on the evening of friday, oct 28, that the headlights were not working. i recently within two weeks ago had replaced one of the front headlight bulbs that had burnt out, so i figured that couldn't be the problem. i eventually checked the fuses and they looked fine. i swapped them out for replacement fuses, but it didn't make a difference. i went online and saw from online discussions that there is a headlight switch issue that the nhtsa is investigating at this time. the issue with my 2002 honda crv and it's low beam headlights surely seems to be part of the problem that's being investigated. i plan to contact the dealer on monday morning (oct 31) to get my issue looked at, again. but, it won't be during the nighttime hours or when it's precipitating, since it's illegal to drive without my low beams on during those times. updated 11/17/11 *bf according to the service invoice, the headlight switch had an electrical failure. updated 11/30/11 *tr

The low beams stopped working while driving and the plastic wire harness connector that plugs into the headlight switch started smoking and burned up. the headlight switch i can get through honda but i can't find the plastic wiring harness connector. it is not safe when your low beams both go out when driving cause the wire for the low beams burns up in the connector for no reason. updated 11/25/11 *bf updated 11/30/11 *tr

Both low beam headlights just quit working - i checked the bulbs and they were in working order. there was a burning rubber type smell leading up to the headlights not working. the high beam lights do work. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the low beam headlights would intermittently fail. the contact also stated that the steering column would become hot during the failure and she could smell a burning odor. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the wiring for the headlight switch was burned. the vehicle was being repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown. updated 12/20/11 *bf the dealer found the headlight bulb burned out and the wiring at the light switch was burnt and the connector was damaged. updated 12/23/11

On 8/1/2011, while driving our 2002 honda crv, i noticed a strange smell. when darkness fell, i realized that the low beams on my vehicle were not working, through the high beams and every other light on the vehicle worked. this has happened twice before - once in november of 2009, and once in march of 2010. when it happened previously, i first checked the bulbs and fuses. they were all fine. i then researched the issue on the internet, and looked into a wiring harness behind the steering wheel. i found a wiring harness that contained some corrosion between connectors that had melted somewhat. i scraped off the corrosion and applied some dielectric to inhibit future corrosion, and the lights came back on. i spoke with the service attendants at my local honda dealership (with pictures that i took of the offending harness), and after checking their computers, they told me that there was nothing on record regarding the issue. i have not yet made the (obviously temporary) repair for the most recent occurrence of this issue. i'm thinking that i may take it to the dealership service to see if they can come up with a more permanent solution. *tr.... updated 01/17/12 *bf

My wife and i own an 02 honda cr-v that has headlight failure problems. i have researched online and found that there is an issue noted at different forums concerning the steering column electrical connection at the dimmer/turn signal switch. our headlights failed during normal use in june of 2011. i took my steering column cover off and looked at the electrical connection to the dimmer/turn signal switch and found it to be partially melted. i cleaned the connections and reinstalled the connector. the repair lasted only temporary (2 months) and then the lights failed again. i have determined that the replacement of the wiring connector is the only complete repair, but since i have heard there is an investigation, i wanted to acknowledge that my 02 honda suffers this problem of a faulty wiring connector from the manufacturer at the dimmer/turn signal switch. updated 09/07/11*bf *tr updated 2/23/12 *cn

The connector to my headlight dimmer switch over heats, melts and causes my low beam headlights to not turn on. high beams still work. switch is damaged as a results. this is the second occurrence in the last 6 months. it is a safety issue. *tr
