VISIBILITY/WIPER
SIDE WINDOW ARE NO LONGER CLEAR. THEY APPEAR TO HAVE SOME BREAKDOWN IN THE GLASS COATING OR IN INNER LAYERS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO READ SIGNS OR CLEARLY DISTINGUISH OBJECTS THROUGH THE SIDE WINDOW GLASS, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME.

MY CR-V WILL STOP RUNNING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. I FOUND THAT OTHER CR-V'S HAD A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT MY CAR HAS.(A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS 200500 MILES IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND SERVICED REGULARLY AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT SEEMS THAT MY CAR HAVING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OF THE SAME YEAR IGNITION SWITCH RECALLS SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 55 M.P.H. THE CAR STALLS BECAUSE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. IT WILL KEEP DOING THE EXACT SAME THING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK NOW. IT STARTED OUT ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. *TR

I JUST USED THE TIRES 1,594 MILES ,(FOUR MONTHS LATER ) I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE OUTER SIDEWALL OF THE REAR RIGHT DRIVE SIDE OF THE TIRE.WHEN I CHECK I HAD A BIG HOLE IN THE OUTER SIDEWALL OF MY TIRE.THERE WERE NO NAILS,GLASS OR OTHER DEBRIS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE.THE STORE REPLACED THAT TIRE WITH A ECOPIA-EP422 PLUS,BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE A NEW MICHELIN-X TIRE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY HONDA CRV ON LONG TRIPS,NEITHER ON HIGHTHWAYS AT HIGH SPEED FOR FEAR OF THE TREAD INJURIES ON FROM CAUSING OF THE TIRES,BECAUSE WHEN MY TIRE BLOWOUT I WAS DRIVING AT 25MILES

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURED. I HAD STOPPED ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT WHEN I RESUMED DRIVING, MY CAR COULD NOT STOP WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN OR BRAKED. AS THE BRAKES ACCELARATED, AND I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME, I SWUNG TO A CURB AND LOST CONSCIOUSNESS TEMPORARY. AFTERWARDS, I SAW MYSELF SITTING DOWN SURROUNDED BY A CROWD. I CAME OUT AND SOON THE POLICE AND THE AMBULANCE CAME.I WAS CHECKED AND THE POLICE TOOK A REPORT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA'S DEALERSHIP FOR BRAKE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, FEARING THAT MY BRAKES WERE THE CULPRITS. HONDA EXAMINED BRAKES AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE, AND THAT THE UNINTENDED ACCELARATION WAS CAUSED BY MY FRONT MAT. I WAS THEN WARNED NEVER TO DRIVE WITTH THE MAT. I REPORTED TO THE AMERICAN HONDA, BUT IT IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

VEHICLE WILL STALL AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE IDLE.

TURN SIGNALS, RADIO, POWER STEERING ARE ALL DISABLED. HEADLIGHTS STAY ON, EMERGENCY FLASHERS STILL WORK, AND HEATER, IF ON, STILL WORKS AS WELL.
