What owners wrote

On march 16, 2010, the main power window controls (located on drivers door), began having problems. I could no longer close the front right window from this control. I was able to open the front right window and was able to open and close the three remaining power windows. The power window switch on the front passenger door did work (to open and close that window). On march 23, 2010, I turned on the ignition for my crv as I got ready to go to work.

Driver's side window is malfunctioning. It gets stuck in the upright position, thus not closing the window. Several occasions, the window will stick and not disengage to roll back down. The vehicle was taken into to honda with the recall notice. The advisor did not read recall notice and told me that the window would be sealed. Two hours later, the window was stick stuck in the upright position not fixed. 12/15/2012, took the vehicle back into honda.
