“My Honda crv 2006 has the same problem as the recall. The driver side window switch does not operate and I do not see my VIN number on the recall list. I do not understand the same problem same recall and not on the recall list. I understand this is a dangerous situation and may cause a fire. Can you please help me. Thank you in advance.”
NHTSA complaint #11399957, filed 2021-03, 160,000 miles“I have had previous issues with the srs system where the passenger side seat belt buckle had to be replaced, I recently had the drivers side airbag replaced due to recall. Now the srs light is on again and Honda refuses to repair or diagnose without me paying $80 to diagnose. I've also had issues with the drivers side headlights burning out at least 6 times a year to which Honda could never find a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10732298, filed 2015-07, 105,404 miles“Car begins to accelerate when in park or when my foot is not on the accelerator. Car also reads several codes relating to vsa, vtec, etc however when I bring it to get checked, new codes pop up relating to similar issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11181171, filed 2019-02, 188,033 miles“Driver's side master switch for power window stopped working. I believe it is due to water damage/leakage through the window into the door panel due to fogging at the window corner when vehicle gets wet. There was a similar recall for this that was fixed in 2011 with a previous owner but seems to be recurring issue and in line with current recall p9d. When I search my vehicle no active recalls pop up but I believe my vehicle should qualify for this recall. This issue is occurring while stopped and while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11399763, filed 2021-03, 279,950 miles“The driver's side window on my 2006 Honda crv will not open due to an electrical issue or short. The window mechanisim is frozen and does not work. This is a potential safety hazard, and I am concerned. I noticed that Honda has issued a recall for this specific issue and for the model year of my vehicle. However, for some reason, my Honda crv is not a part of the recall. This makes no sense since I am experiencing the exact issue with my crv that the recall notice indicated. I should be eligible for this recall/repair, and I would like to request an investigation.”
