EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THE CRV, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ONE. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE POOR AND HAZERDOUS DESIGN OF THE "CPILLAR MOUNTED REAR LIGHTS". BY MOST ACCOUNTS THE CRV IS A GREAT VEHICLE TO OWN. IT IS ANOTHER MATTER COMPLETELY IF YOU HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF FOLLOWING ONE IN TRAFFIC, AS I DID, IF YOU OWN A CAR. YOU SEE, THERE ARE NO REAR TAIL LIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS VEHICLE AND NOT EVEN A CYCLOPS LIGHT IN THE CENTER OF IT. INSTEAD, THERE IS A LOVELY TIRE PROUDLY DISPLAYING THE HONDA LOGO. THEIR WEBSITES EVEN BOAST ABOUT THAT NICE WRAP-AROUND LOOK IN THE BACK, THEY JUST DON'T TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WITH YOUR NAME ON IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED TO PUT IN LIGHTS ON THE BOTTOM SO LOWER RIDING VEHICLES CAN SEE THEM. IN A LOW CAR OR WITH A SUN VISOR DOWN, ONE CANNOT SEE ANY LIGHTS AT ALL WHERE ONE WOULD REASONABLY EXPECT THEM TO BE, INSTEAD THEY ARE AT THE TOP SIDES OF THE VEHICLE ON THE "OLDER" MODELS. THIS POOR, UNCONSCIONABLE, AND HAZERDOUS DESIGN IN THE NAME OF LOOKS MUST BE FIXED.*AK

TIRES
ON DEC 18, 2000 ABOUT 5:00PM MY WIFE GEETA RASTOGI WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. SHE WAS WAITING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON MD HIGHWAY 28 IN ROCKVILLE TO TURN LEFT ON TO DARNESTOWNE RD. WHEN TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED FOR HER TO MOVE AND TURN LEFT, SHE HEARD A BIG BLAST AND HER FRONT LEFT WHEEL JUMPED THE CURVE. SHE WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY DROVE TO A SAFE PLACE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND FOUND THAT HER LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD BLOWN A 2"X4" PIECE. A MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE WOMAN AND A CITIZEN HELPED GEETA TO REPLACE THE TIRE WITH FULL SIZE SPARE. WE BOUGHT A NEW TIRE OF SAME TYPE AND SIZE FROM A LOCAL OLSON TIRE STORE NEXT DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF NHTSA HAS RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. THANKS. *AK (TIRESIZE: 205/70R/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205/70R/15 )
