ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ON MARCH 2,2005, I HAD A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE PERFORMED ON MY 2003 HONDA CRV EX ( 27000 MILES) AT SACCUCCI HONDA IN MIDDLETOWN ,RI . UPON NEXT STARTUP (FOUR DAYS LATER) , MY WIFE NOTICED A OIL & SMOKE SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW MILES. THE SMOKE WAS APPARENTLY FROM OIL DRIPPED ONTO THE TAIL PIPE. THE OIL ALSO DRIPPED ONTO MY GARAGE FLOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ( SEE ODI ID NUMBER 10090704). NOT SURE IF THIS IS FRESH OIL OR OLD OIL SPILT DURING CHANGE. DEALER IS CLEANING FRAME RAIL. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
FROM DAY 1 MY BRAKES DID NOT SEEM RIGHT. I HAD A VERY BAD VIBRATION IN MY BRAKES FROM PROBABLY 15,000 MI. AT APPROXIMATELY 17,000MI THE DEALER MACHINED OR TURNED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. NOW AGAIN AT 35,000MI THE VIBRATION IN MY BRAKES ARE BACK. DEALER WANTED TO MACHINE AND TURN THE ROTORS ONCE MORE, BUT WE ARGUED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL,A ND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THEM AT 35,600MI. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT MORE HONDA OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED HONDAS IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *JB

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
THE REAR CENTER PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE BLOCKS ACCESS TO THE REAR PASSENGER BUCKLE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA AMERICA TO CHANGE THIS DESIGN AND THE DEALER'S ANSWER WAS, "UNABLE TO RELOCATE BUCKLES FOR PROPER OPERATION." BASICALLY THE REAR PASSENGER HAS TO RIDE WITHOUT SEAT BELT PROTECTION IF THERE IS A REAR CENTER PASSENGER. *NM

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT, WITH WHAT I AND APPARENTLY HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA CONSIDER A SAFETY DEFECT WITH THE 2003 HONDA CRV. THE CENTER REAR HEADREST RESTRAINT IS OF THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR HEADREST ON THIS VEHICLE. WHAT THIS DOES IS PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR VIEW IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. IN ORDER FOR THE DRIVER TO HAVE A CLEAR VIEW FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, THE HEAD RESTRAINT MUST BE REMOVED THEREFORE DEFEATING ITS SAFETY PURPOSE FOR THE MIDDLE PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT. HONDA OBVIOUSLY REALIZED THIS , BECAUSE THE 2005 MODEL HAS A LOWER HEIGHT REAR SEAT MIDDLE PASSENGER HEAD RESTRAINT, AS IT SHOULD. AS A CONSUMER I BELIEVE THAT HONDA, SHOULD OFFER OWNER'S OF THIS VEHICLE, THE NEW UPDATED LOWER HEIGHT HEAD RESTRAINT FOR THE REAR SEAT MIDDLE PASSENGER AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *AK
