UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2002 HONDA CR-V GAS CAP KEPT COMING LOOSE. WE WENT BACK TO HONDA A BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP, BUT WITHIN WEEKS THAT TOO KEPT COMING LOOSE. I JUST BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HONDA BECAUSE OF A FAILURE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR ACTUATOR AND SWITCH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON THE CAP KEPT COMING LOOSE AND THE LIGHT IS ON WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED THE REPLACE THE FILLER NECK. THIS REPAIR WAS GOING TO BE OVER $300.00. SINCE I HAD JUST SPENT A LOT TO FIX THE DOOR AND SWITCH, I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I COULD AFFORD IT. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM TIGHTENING THE CAP DAILY SO THAT THE SMELL OF GASOLINE GOES AWAY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND I PULLED OVER AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRING. I TURNED OFF THE LIGHT SWITCH AND THE SMELL WENT AWAY. IN MY INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE FOLLOWING: DATE ANNOUNCED: FEBRUARY 24, 2004 VEHICLES AFFECTED: 440,000 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE LOW-BEAM TERMINAL ON THE HEAD LIGHT WIRE HARNESS CAN OVERHEAT AND COULD CAUSE THE LOW BEAMS TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING.CONSEQUENCE: AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF LOW BEAMS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. ACTIONS: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH AND COUPLER FOR SIGNS OF HEAT DAMAGE. IF HEAT DAMAGE IS PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE SWITCH AND COUPLER. IF NO HEAT DAMAGE IS PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH AND ONE MATING PIN IN THE COUPLER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009. FOR DETAILED INFORMATION & SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, SEE THE OFFICIAL NHTSA PAGE CONCERNING RECALL #04V086000 I AM HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AS I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE WIRING CONNECTOR AND IT WAS BURNT. THE COST FOR REPAIR IS IN EXCESS OF $700.00 AND THIS IS IN MY OPINION A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT. *TR UPDATED 05/02/11 *BF UPDATED 05/04/11

EQUIPMENT
ON JULY 15TH, THE ENGINE OF OUR CR-V ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD AN EXTRA LOAD ON IT. WE SHUT OFF THE AC AND THE EXTRA LOAD WENT AWAY. THE NEXT DAY, ABOUT 140 MILES INTO A TRIP THE AC STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS. THE NON-HONDA MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WES A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE AC STATING THAT THE COMPLETE AC SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HONDA MECHANIC STATED ONLY THE COMPRESSOR AND THE CONDENSER HAD TO BE REPLACED. EITHER ONE IS EXTREME MONEY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE AC COMPRESSOR SUCH THAT WHEN IT FAILS IT DISTRIBUTES METAL THROUGHOUT THE AC SYSTEM. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA CR-V WHICH HAS AN AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AT 86,000 MILES. ALL COMPONENTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS FIRST NOTICEABLE WITH A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD - NEEDS COMPRESSOR, DRYER, RECEIVER, CONDENSER ETC REPLACED FOR AROUND $1000-2200 AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. DEALER IS APPROX. $2500-3500 WHICH I HAVE NOT PINNED DOWN YET. AM. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING. MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR HERE; HONDA MANUFACTURED A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD PAY THE ENTIRE REPAIR AMOUNT. I AM SURE IF AM. HONDA REP. WAS FACED WITH SAME SITUATION, HE WOULD BE DEMANDING PAYMENT AS WELL. HOPE FOR DEFINITIVE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALSO, OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DOOR LOCKS WILL NO LONGER WORK THEREFORE YOU CANNOT LOCK THE CAR. HAVE REPLACED TAIL LIGHTS 3X IN A YEAR AND NOW HONDA SAYS IT NEEDS A SOCKET REPLACEMENT. THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RELIABLE VEHICLE. *TR
