POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
THIS IS A 2007 HONDA CRV_EX-L. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE CRV. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT BUT IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. STARTED HAVE A NOISE PROBLEM WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THE DIFFERENTIAL LUBRICANT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $125. DEALER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH CAR HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY, BECAUSE IT WAS PAST 36 MONTH. SERVICE REP SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE ADVISORY POSTED INTERNALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SAID THE LUBRICANT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES, EVEN THOUGHT THE MANUAL SAY 60,000. NO NOTIFICATION WAS SENT TO OWNERS OF THIS ADVISORY. HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AND SERVICE REP DID NOT KNOW. *TR

EQUIPMENT
AIRCONDITIONER QUIT WORKING. THOUGHT WAS JUST LOW FREON-WAS SHRAPNAL IN MY VEHICLE FROM THE UNIT DISINTEGRATED. WAS TOLD LUCKY I DIDN'T DRIVE ANY FURTHER OR THE SHRAPNEL WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE ENGINE, SEIZED IT UP, POSSIBLY CRASHING IN THE PROCESS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HONDA KNOWS IS HAPPENING. IT COST ME ABOUT $1600.00 TO REPAIR, SOMEONE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AFTER LOSING THE AIRCONDITIONING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT FROM IT CRASHING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
ON FEBRUARY 20, WHILE DRIVING ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY OUR CAR SHIMMIED AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SIMULTANEOUSLY, MY WIFE HEARD A SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WE QUICKLY PULLED ONTO THE EXIT (JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO) INTO AN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOP THAT WAS RIGHT OFF THE EXIT RAMP. WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE REPAIR SHOP, THE CAR STALLED. A QUICK DIAGNOSIS BY THE REPAIR SHOP CONCLUDED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE THAT DAY AS THE SHOP WAS CLOSING IN 15 MINUTES. ON MONDAY, THE REPAIR SHOP REPORTED THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 2 HAD BLOWN OUT. TO ATTEMPT A FIX, THEY INSERTED A HELI-COIL AND PLUG BUT WERE STILL UNABLE TO GET THE PRESSURE ABOVE 40 P.S.I ON THE CYLINDER. A DEEPER DIAGNOSIS INDICATED SCOURING/SCARRING ON THE CYLINDER 2 BORE AS WELL AS THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSED BY THE SPARK PLUG DEBRIS. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY COST EFFECTIVE FIX FOR THIS WAS TO GET A REPLACEMENT ENGINE. TO GET ANOTHER OPINION, I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN THE BUFFALO AREA (RAY LAKS) AND THEY CONFIRMED OVER THE PHONE THAT SCARRING ON THE CYLINDER SLEEVE WOULD REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT ENGINE. THE PLUGS THAT WERE ON THE CAR WERE THE OEM FACTORY INSTALLED. I HAD PLANNED ON REPLACING THESE AT 110,000 MILES PER THE HONDA MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. MY CAR HAD 105,713 MILES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS AUTOMOBILE. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THE FAILURE OF THIS OEM COMPONENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

ON SEPT 7, 2010, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (WHO DRIVES THE VEHICLE AT COLLEGE) HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE THEN THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN BLOWING JUST HOT AIR.

WE HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED IN ONE DAY AT COST OF $757.00 AND MY DAUGHTER WAS BACK AT COLLEGE THE NEXT DAY. THE OLD PART IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED BUT THE MECHANIC WILL ONLY HOLD IT FOR ONE WEEK. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE SIDE VISIBILITY ON MY 2007 HONDA CRV IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OF THE NUMEROUS VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS. REGARDLESS OF HOW I SET THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, I HAVE NEARLY CAUSED COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THE 'BLIND SPOT.' BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF THIS DESIGN DEFICIENCY, I AM AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE WHEN CHANGING LANES, I USE MY SIGNAL, LOOK IN THE MIRROR, TURN MY HEAD AND THEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AGAIN. NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE OTHER VEHICLES. IF THERE IS SOME DEVICE THAT CAN BE ADDED TO THE CAR I WOULD SUGGEST DOING SO. *TR
