Hi the problem with the vehicle is than the heater just work on the passenger side and driver side it just blow cold air i read looking into internet than is no just my car i found a couple complaint regarding de same problem this happen in stationary or been driven thank you *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda cr-v. while driving at an unknown speed, the sun roof shattered without warning. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician stated the sun roof needed to be replaced. no repairs were made to the vehicle. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 56,000.

On the driver side, cold air blows close to the driver side door. unable to make it warm. very uncomfortable in the winter. i see that this is happening to someone else. *tr

I was driving on the freeway with no cars around and i heard a loud sound like a gunshot then my sunroof exploded and glass showered down on me. when i reviewed the damage, the glass was pushed outwards and there was no sign something had impacted it. *tr

Driver side does not blow hot air, the car blows hot air on the passenger side but cold air on the driver side, its difficult to drive car in cold weather conditions due to this issue, as legs and hands become numb due to cold air blow on drivers side, which will potentially lead to pull over many times while driving or may lead t crash in the future, many 2012 crv models have this issue. a recall should be called and the issue fixed immediately, thanks *tr

Driving down the interstate, all windows rolled up. ac powered on and the passenger side window exploded. nothing hit window, nothing even in close to vehicle. very small child rides in this car. *tr

The heater/defroster failed to operate as it had in the past on december 6, 2013. previous to that date the air conditioner failed to cool properly starting in august, 2013. hazy white material coated the inside of the windshield requiring constant wiping so we ceased using the air. over a several week period in fall 2013 the left side heater/defroster failed to heat the left side of the car and the windshield defroster failed requiring us to stop the car and wipe the outside of the left side of the windshield. the right side of the cabin heater blew some hot air and some hot air reached the inside of the windshield. the dealer service manager at schaumburg honda listened to my complaint and after several minutes returned to tell me all operations were normal and i needed to use the recirculation to equalize cabin temperature. i immediately traded the car since the windshield was unable to defrost and cabin to heat. search google under " heater on cr-v doesn't work" to see multiple stories of same an videos of attempts like mine to work heater/defroster complaints. *tr

Upon leaving work, wife heard a wind noise coming from the sunroof, as if it was open. upon sliding back the cover (slightly), she noticed the glass was shattered (with a big hole), and bulging outward or toward the interior. she was not around any other vehicles so it is unlikely the cause was a bouncing rock or pebble. upon calling the dealership where the car was purchased, they referred us to a local auto glass shop. upon calling honda of america, they referred us to our insurance company. by the way, the car is still under full warranty. what can we do? it should be under warranty, shouldn't it? *tr

Sun visor will not stay up. replaced once and only worked for one day. honda dealership ordered a second one and we were told that it would not work either, that it was an american honda issue. we were told that it was no use to replace it that it would just happen again. *tr

While going north on i-35, 2 miles south of austin, texas a very loud noise was felt and heard. the sunroof had cracked into thousands of small pieces and a large hole formed as i drove with glass flying behind me. the hole in the center of the sunroof had edges sloping upwards indicating the force went out of the car bending the glass outwards. there is no evidence any object hit the sunroof from the outside. the outside temperature was 64f degrees. i believe the factory installed sunroof glass is defective causing a very unsafe driving condition. i have pictures of the sunroof. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 21012 honda crv. the contact stated that he rear lift gate window was struck by a rock and caused the wiper blade to separate from the window as the glass exploded and shattered into several pieces. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure and the current mileage was 115. ...updated 10/03/12 *bf updated 10/09/2012 *js

When i attempted to move the sun visor to block the sun coming in the drivers side window, it fell out of the overhead. i had to pull over and stop the car while holding the visor. with luck, i was on a rural road with no traffic. i was able to put it up in place and lock it into the clip to hold it. i contacted my local dealer and took it in to have them look at it. they said that they would order a new one. after a couple weeks when they didn't call, i called them and found out that the visor was on backorder. it took about five weeks before they got the new visor. i took the car in to have it fixed and after a couple of hours the service rep told me that the new part didn't work and that they didn't know why. they said that they were going to contact honda technical for a resolution, and they would have an answer in about two days. the next day i found out the passenger side sun visor was doing the same thing. when they didn't call, i called them and got the two day story again. after the third time that they didn't have an answer, i called honda's main customer service and registered a complaint. i got a complaint number and was told an investigator would contact me. she did, and we discussed the problem. the next morning the local honda dealer service manager called and wanted me to bring the car in, and they would give me a loaner. it took them about four more days to fix the problem. when i picked the car up i discussed what they had done to fix the visor, and found out that they had to get eight new units before they got two good ones. i feel that this is a safety hazard as the driver could easily become distracted and have an accident. honda must realize by now that their sun visors are a piece of junk. i suspected that when i first heard that the sun visors were on back order. you need to make them fix this problem before someone gets hurt. *tr
