See attached document for complaint

I took my 2009 Honda CRV in for a recall. In salt belt states where de-icing agents are used to maintain the roadway, the de-icing agents, along with mud and dirt, could enter the rear frame through the rear frame drainage points. This could cause the rear trailing arm to come off. The dealership ended up attaching a bracket that is supposed to keep me safe. My problem is that the bracket is attached to a highly corroded area of my vehicle (as shown in the attached pictures) When I brought this up they only stated that as long as the one bolt was able to be replaced then that is all they are required to do. I feel that the bracket should at least be attached to solid metal. Also, now I have to have the bracket removed again so I can get the frame repaired (even though the recall specifically says the corrosion was caused by a design flaw that allows salt and dirt to get into the inner frame through rear frame drainage points). I feel that there should be more criteria to this recall than just one bolt because they are sending cars back on the road that are still unsafe.

2009 HONDA CR-V- I recently received a recall notice from Honda regarding a problem with a rear frame member of my 2009 CR-V. I am all too familiar with this problem since it happened to me around two years ago. At the time of its failure I was advised by the service station that towed it that was a non-repairable situation. I therefore had it towed to my West Winfield home where I would later sell it as "junk". There seemed little use (and added expense) to have it towed to a Honda dealer since it was beyond repair. Upon receiving the recent notice I reached out to Honda who wanted little to do with my situation since I no longer owned the vehicle. I sought to at least seek some form of com­pensation, somewhere between the value of the vehicle and the amount I received as salvage (approx. $1100). While they've assigned a case number to me, they have not offered to provide any kind of relief in any shape or form. I am reaching out to you for some guidance on how to best proceed. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.

Received recall notice to have vehicle repaired. Scheduled vehicle with local dealer for repair. Took vehicle to dealer on 6/14/2023 for recall repair. Dealer informed me during visit, they had to send a picture/video of what they encountered to American Honda and wait for them to decide how to repair. A little while later during same visit, dealer informed me American Honda instructed them not to repair and tell me to go home and park the car and American Honda will call me. American Honda has not called me and the vehicle not repaired of the recall. I must drive the vehicle for my work. I would like them to fix, replace my vehicle and immediately if they think it is a safety concern.

The rear wheel on the left driver side detached from the frame while driving on the hwy and lost control. Luckily I could pull off and drive into the ditch. The frame is rusted enough that auto shop says that the repairs aren't worth it because the entire back frame is rusted and will just happen on the other side. No sounds beforehand to indicate their would be a malfunction. The control arm was detached from the rusting but other components broke from the frame rusting and wheel coming loose on the hwy. It will be inspected further.

ON 1/28/2017 MY DAUGHTER'S 2009 HONDA CRV CAUGHT ON FIRE IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND BURNED UNTIL IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. IT ONLY HAD 87,000 MILES ON IT AND SEEMED TO BE RUNNING PERFECTLY THAT DAY. I HAD DRIVEN HER CAR FOR ONE HOUR (A 44 MILE TRIP), RETURNED HOME, TURNED OFF THE CAR, TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER, ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS HEARD A CAR ALARM, WE LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SAW FLAMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIREMEN SAID THAT IT STARTED NEAR THE BATTERY AREA, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY PROBLEM WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON AND IT WAS RUNNING GREAT. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AS I COULD HAVE PARKED THE CAR IN OUR GARAGE OR IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT HOME ON THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE, WHICH IS ISOLATED.

I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA CRV IN FEB. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE REAR/SIDE VISIBILITY DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND VOICED MY CONCERN TO THE SALESWOMAN. SHE ASSURED ME THAT I "WOULD GET USED TO IT." WELL, I HAVEN'T! I HAVE SERIOUS VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN BACKING UP AND CHANGING LANES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. (I AM A VERY SAFE DRIVER AND HAVE NEVER BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRAFFIC VIOLATION OTHER THAN 1 SPEEDING TICKET OVER 30 YEARS AGO AND 1 PARKING TICKET THAT COULD NOT BE AVOIDED.) I BACKED INTO A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT IN MID APRIL, DAMAGING THE REAR RIGHT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE-IN THE BLIND SPOT. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE I WAS VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I CAME VERY CLOSE TO A WOMAN PUSHING A BABY IN A CART. I WAS HORRIFIED AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND AMERICAN HONDA-BOTH UNSUCCESSFULLY. I SPENT HOURS E-MAILING AND TALKING ON THE PHONE, ASKING FOR A SOLUTION FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM FROM BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. A MAN THAT I SPOKE WITH AT AMERICAN HONDA TOLD ME THAT THE DESIGN OF THE '09 CRV IS THE SAME AS THE '07 CRV WHICH HE OWNS. HE STATED THAT HE HAD PARTIALLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY ADDING SMALL ROUND CONCAVE MIRRORS LIKE THOSE USED FOR TRAILERS/RV'S, BUT DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT HE HAD SAID THIS. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I OWN A NEW, BUT DAMAGED, VEHICLE THAT HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WHICH CAUSES MAJOR BLIND ZONES. I FEAR THAT IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON ALL OF THESE CRV'S DRIVING AROUND, MORE PEOPLE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. I FEEL THAT AMERICAN HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW. FINALLY, TODAY THE ASSIST. MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE SENSORS PUT ON THE VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND REMARKED: "THEY'RE NOT CHEAP." UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
