SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR SAFTEY SEATS IN THE BACK. THEY ARE SECURED BY OVER THE CHEST SEATBELTS. WHEN STOPPING SHORT, ONE OF THE SEATBELTS DISCONNECTED DIRECTLY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE MATERIAL ON THE BELT ITSELF DID NOT BREAK, JUST THE CONNECTION TO THE ROOF. THE SAFETY SEAT JUMPED FORWARD AND HIT THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE OTHER SEAT BELT ALSO WAS LOOSENED. UPON TAKING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REATTACHED THE BELTS TO THE CAR ROOF. I WONDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN, THEREFORE I WANT IT REPORTED SO THAT IN THE EVENT THERE IS A DEFECT IN ALL THE CARS, HONDA WILL REPAIR IT BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT 85,000 MILES, EXHAUST VALVES HAD TO BE REPLACED. SEVEN WERE WORN BY HEAT. ONE WAS CRACKED. INQUIRY WITH DEALERS AND FIRM WHICH ACTUALLY REPAIRS ENGINE VALVES SAID THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING A NUMBER OF CRV'S-WHICH HAVE RECESSED VALVES-WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE.*AK

TIRES
CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY HEARD A LOUD NOISE. CONSUMER THOUGHT SHE RAN OVER PIECES OF TIRE ON THE FREEWAY, BUT LATER LEARNED THAT ONE OF HER VEHICLE'S TIRES EXPLODED, AND THE TREAD WAS FROM THAT TIRE. CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. BUT SHE WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AT A REST AREA, WHICH ALLOWED HER TO PULL OVER. ALSO, A PASSING MOTORIST PULLED OVER TO HELP HER, AND CALLED FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL. THEY CHANGED THE TIRE, AND CONSUMER WAS ON HER WAY. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE, TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT, STRUCTURE
I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH VEHICLE: 1) ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH INTERRUPTS POWER STEERING. THIS OCCURS GENERALLY WITHIN THE FIRST MILE OF DRIVING, NOW DAILY. INITIALLY, PROBLEM OCCURRED AT RANDOM, ONCE OR TWICE PER MONTH. REGULAR SERVICE CHECKS REVEALED NO PROBLEM. THE CAR RUNS WITHOUT PROBLEMS ALL DAY ONCE THE INITIAL STALLING OF THE ENGINE HAS OCCURRED. CONSUMER INFORMATION HAS FOUND THIS TO BE AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BUT HONDA-AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RECALL OR PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL ON 1/17/2004. INSTEAD, HONDA CLAIMS THAT A SCHEDULED "VALVE ADJUSTMENT" WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ENGINE STALLING AND INTERRUPTION OF POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING, AND THE OCCURRENCE IS NOT PREDICTABLE - HOW CAN I BE SATISFIED WITH A "VALVE ADJUSTMENT" AND TAKE THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD? 2) ADVANCED TIRE WEAR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 AND I HAD TO REPLACE TIRES. FIRESTONE / BRIDGESTONE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE WEAR IS PREMATURE AND SOLD ME A NEW SET OF TIRES FOR A FAIR PRICE. HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALER MENTIONED THAT IT IS DRIVER/OWNER RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE TIRE PRESSURE AND ROTATE TIRES ACCORDING TO SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I HAVE ROTATED AND KEEP CORRECT PRESSURE IN TIRES AT ALL TIMES. 3) WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN (MORE NOTICEABLE WHILE MAKING A U-TURN) PRIMARILY FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, A LOUD HOWLING NOISE CAN BE HEARD. THE SAME FIRESTONE / BRIDGESTONE DEALER NOTICED THE SAME SOUNDS AND REFERRED ME TO THE HONDA DEALER. HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALER MENTIONED THAT A LUBE SERVICE IS NECESSARY TO TAKE THAT HOWLING NOISE AWAY FROM MY VEHICLE. FIRESTONE / BRIDGESTONE BELIEVE MORE THAN A LUBE JOB IS NEEDED. 4) REAR GLASS TRUNK LID LEAKS DURING CAR WASHES AND STRONG WINDY RAIN. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE CRV WILL HAVE THE MOTOR JUST STALL - EVEN WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT WILL ALSO STALL WHILE IDELING. SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO START, REQUIRES A JUMP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A MONTH. DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX.*AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AIR CONDITIONER FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE DEALER TRIED TWICE TO FIX IT, BUT FAILED. IT IS NOW GETTING A NEW EVAPORATOR, AMONG OTHER PARTS. AT FIRST, THE DEALER WANTED ME TO PAY OVER $700 TO REPLACE PARTS. AFTER SOME COMPLAINING, THEY AGREED TO ONLY CHARGE $270. THIS IS ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE'S HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONER. *AK
