We had a direct deer hit on i81 north in grantville pa. the direct hit was taken on the driver's side of the vehicle at 65 mph in highway driving. the airbag only deployed on the passenger side not on the driver's side. this seemed very odd to us. either both air bags should have deployed or neither airbag should have deployed in this accident. pictures are attached. i reported this to american honda, but they refused to investigate it and i had to beg them for an email address to send the pictures to. given their attitude, i felt i needed to report this accident to nhtsa. my car was totaled by new jersey manufacturer's insurance co.

Our honda crv has a roof leak (by the antenna) that has damaged the inside headliner that it needs to be totally replaced. the leak is probably causing mildew grow in the headliner and possible roof corrosion as well. this makes us very concerned about breathing and health issues in general when using the vehicle. we are told this appears to be a manufacturing / assembly defect and have been going on for a while (years), but we just discovered it in april 2017. updated 08/23/17*lj *cn

Moonroof spontaneously shattered while vehicle was being driven. no impact with object and no known prior defect in moonroof.

When pulling into a parking spot in a parking structure, as i prepared to stop, the automobile, i think, inexplicably accelerated, crashing into the concrete barrier wall. the airbag deployed. to sum up, i think that my car accelerated by itself.

Passenger window on drivers side. will not always go up. it will go up if pulled up by hand while pushing the control button.

This is about nhtsa recall 12v-338, and to report honda's failure to remedy a defect within 60 days of first contact with the dealer (honda of annapolis, 1720 west street, annapolis, md 21401). we brought our 2102 honda cr-v to honda of annapolis on march 22, 2013 for the replacement of driver's and passenger's door latches and inner handles under recall 12v-338. the service advisor stated that no parts were available, so the parts would be special ordered and we would be called when the parts were in stock. we never received any call. we went to honda of annapolis on june 27, 2013 for an oil change and inquired about the recall parts, which were then in stock, and the recall work was performed. when we asked why we had not been called about the recall parts, no one offered any rational explanation, much less any apology. later that day, we were unable to lock the cr-v, the car alarm would go off when either front door was opened, and we had to turn off the alarm by putting the key in the ignition. we returned to honda of annapolis the following day to have these problems fixed. thus, honda of annapolis missed your 60 day repair deadline by over 30 days, and then performed the replacement in an incompetent manner. if we had not gone in for the oil change, we believe we would never have received any call from this dealer about completing the recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the roof was leaking and mildew was present on the ceiling of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to team honda (6363 siegen ln, baton rouge, la 70809, (225) 298-4100) and the contact was informed that there were no recalls; however, they could clean the liner for the roof and perform a water test. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 1,500.

We took a trip from georgia to mississippi on the weekend of 28-30 september. on the way back we drove through extremely heavy rain at times. on the evening of oct 1st i raised the hood to check the oil level. i noticed that the engine compartment was wet and that there was no weather stripping across the front of the hood (my accord and odyssey has it). that allowed water to enter the engine compartment. the water came in from the top and not the bottom of the engine. i took the vehicle to the local honda dealership to complain about the leak. they looked at several brand-new cr-vs and noticed that they too didn't have any weather stripping across the front of the hood. the dealer said there was nothing they could do about it. this is a design defect that needs to be corrected. when driving through heavy rain there is nothing to stop water from entering the engine compartment and possibly damaging the sensitive electronic components. i now have a brand-new cr-v with unsightly water stains on the engine, firewall, and hood insulator. *tr

Due to recall letter of interior front door latch and front passenger door latch not properly latched, brought the car to honda of serramonte to have it fixed. after retrieving my car, i tested the door latch while driving, the door can still be opened from the inside. *tr

My wife who was driving our honda crv 2012 had an accident on the freeway off ramp. when the car in front of her ran over some wire that was left on the road, the driver made a sudden stop. my wife was unable to stop in time and hit the vehicle with our honda. there was considerable damage on both cars. since the airbags did not deploy and the safety belt in our 2012 honda crv did not restrain my wife from hitting the steering wheel, she was seriously hurt. i hope other owners of the honda crv 2012 do not have this type of situation happen to them. *tr

Traveling 95 north pull over to check tire pressure, door open and driver fell out. car hit driver. car kept going cross the median to 95 south lane impact a hole full of water. *tr

While driving a few weeks ago i noticed a very yellow large spider crawling across my dashboard. i almost ran off the road finding a napkin to kill it so it didn't get on me as it was making it's way to me very quickly from the dash towards the steering wheel!!! then a couple days later, another spider. (me thinking i didn't get the first one!?) then a couple days later another spider and this morning while at the dunkin donuts drive-thru, another spider!!!!! all of these i have managed to kill which only tells me that there are a bunch of spiders in my dashboard or something!!! the one today came out of the vent just over the a/c vent drivers side!??!?! each time i see one, it's on the dashboard initially and then quickly moves around. this is the last thing i need and i want the car torn apart to find out where they are coming from and have them removed immediately! i'm freaking out! i am waiting on call backs from both hollman honda (the dealership which has never heard about any spider issues) as well as the customer service dept. of honda itself to open a case about this matter. being that they are poisonous (mazda had a recall about this very issue evidently although honda isn't issuing a recall at the moment). the car is brand new and i paid cash for it otherwise, i would trade it in if it were a lease. i am terrified of spiders and these are poisonous!!!! help!! i can't keep driving this car! scared out of my mind and needing a remedy fast!
