| Dealer was unable to hook up wiring harness on tow bar that goes up to the motor home. consumer feels it's unsafe to drive without tail lights on tow bar. also, if a vehicle weighs over 1000 pounds, in some states, item that is being towed must have brakes. brakes were not availble at time of purchase. *ak this vehicle was purchsed with a contract agreement to be able to tow behind a motorhome. the dealer was unable to complete the agreement. consumer was informed by the dealer that the rear lights were not working as required and the braking system was not wired. the wire system is required to activate when the tow vehicle brakes. the manager told consumer that honda would not spend any more time or money on a proper installation. *jg1 | |||

| Problem started approx 7500 miles. i was getting loud popping noises from front and rear brakes. occurred when backing up / moving forward ( changing directions while applying brakes.) every day got worse, you could hear noise from a distance of +100'. honda has a bulletin on this problem, however, they are down playing it. they state it is a 'clicking noise'. it is not a 'clicking noise', i have a loud popping, metal to metal noise. took to dealer several times. dealer determined it was 'defective brake pads' and my cr-v noise was louder than most. dealer replaced brake pads (dealer work order inv#w70499) you could see where the metal tips of the pads were banging back and forth against the caliper brackets. i met with american honda jul 02 2002. in so many words he said honda is still looking into the matter, since the 2002 model is totally new, it could be that the brake pads are too small or the calipers too big, something is definitely wrong. american honda rep. said they are very concerned about this matter, but at this time, replacing the brake pads are the only thing they can think of to do, hoping that the replacement pads are a fraction larger than the original pads. the dealer, american honda and i do not know if the problem has been solved. it is a noise not detected when the vehicle is first purchased, it occurs when you get some mileage on the brake pads. please advise more information and check into this defect before there is a serious problem. *ak | |||

| I own a 2002 honda cr-v which has a disk brake defect. all 4 disk brake calipers are developing corrosion inside of the pistions. the dealer replaced the rear pads and rotors because they had worn and frozen to the wear indicators after 13,000 miles. they stated that they were insufficiently lubricated from the factory and added more grease to take care of the binding condition. the front ones are now showing the same signs of failure after 15,000 miles. is there a way to persue that the dealer replace all 4 brake calipers due to the corrosion defect? my concern is that the pistons inside of the calipers are rusting through and may fail, causing accident/injury. | |||

| A few months after buying the cr-v i have noticed a strange clacking noise around the front wheels mainly when slowly bumping into speed-bumps or during some sudden low-speed braking. i have reported the strange sound twice to honda service personnel during maintenance service visits and they have told me that the sound is characteristic to this model without attempting to troubleshoot the issue or file it into the car service report. | |||

| When applying pressure to the brake pedal a clanking noise is heard. dealer has to replace the clips that hold the brake pads in place. *ak approximately two months after purchasing the vehicle consumer heard and felt a loud clunk noise in the brakes. dealership advised this was a normal characteristic of the brakes. now a year and a half later, they state there is a fix for the problem. now they use clips to hold the caliper pads in place to keep them from moving. consumer questioned if this was normal why is there fix for it. *ph | |||

| The srs light came on so i contacted the dealer. they replaced the sensor. i haven't had anymore problems with it, but it was only 4 days ago. i have been reading other problems with the srs light and i am concerned that this is gonna be an ongoing problem. i am worried that the air bags won't deploy if i am in an accident. as for the brakes. i keep hearing a popping noise every time i back out of a parking space or the driveway. i have not contacted the dealer, but after reading other complaints, i am going to do this. i have always been a dedicated honda lover and i am disappointed to hear about all that is wrong with the vehicle i have purchased with my hard earned money. dt | |||
