TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WE PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CRV IN JULY OF 2005, WHICH CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T 684 215/65R16 98T TIRES. DEALERSHIP HAS INSPECTED THE CAR EVERY YR. SINCE THEN. AT INSPECTION IN SEPT. OF 2007, THERE WERE 13,180 MILES ON THE 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH THE ORIGINAL TIRES. NO PROBLEM INDICATED BY SERVICEMAN WITH TIRES AT THAT TIME. OVER CHRISTMAS OF 2007, 3 MOS. LATER, MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND SAT IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED A LOUD NOISE FROM THE AREA OF THE TIRES. NEXT DAY HUSBAND TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT. INSTEAD, DEALER SET APPT. FOR TUES. JAN. 8, 2007. IN BETWEEN THOSE 2 TIMES, VEHICLE HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT JIFFY LUBE. THE SERVICEMAN AT THE JIF. LUBE STATED FRONT TIRES WERE WORN AND NEEDED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT--INTERESTING SINCE ALL OTHER DEALERSHIP OIL CHANGES PERFORMED MENTIONED NO TIRE WEAR. AT THE APPT. ON JAN.8, 2008 [VALLEY HONDA, 4221 WILLIAM PENN HIGHWAY, MONROEVILLE, PA 15146--PH:412-373-3000] A MECHANIC INSPECTED THE TIRES ON VEHICLE, WHICH NOW HAD 15,730 MILES ON THEM, THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE STEEL BELTS INSIDE OF THE BACK TIRES WERE BROKEN! HE ASKED ABOUT THE USE OF THE VEHICLE FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES TO WHICH I RESPONDED NO ON ALL ACCOUNTS. IN ADDITION, IF WE HAD HIT A HOLE HARD ENOUGH TO BREAK THE STEEL BELTS IN BOTH OF THE BACK TIRES, ONE WOULD THINK THE CAR WOULD BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT, WHICH IT IS NOT. NO EXPLANATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS TO WHY THE FRONT TIRES WERE SO BADLY WORN AND NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES WAS NEVER NOTICED BY THEIR SERVICEMEN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED "THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THOSE TIRES" BUT, OFFERED TO SELL US 4 BRAND NEW YAMAHA TIRES AT $89.41 + $13.50 FOR INSTALLATION PER TIRE, PLUS TAX, PLUS A FEE TO DISPOSE OF THE OLD TIRES. SO FAR THESE TIRES HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT WE ARE SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE PARKWAY, TURNPIKE, FREEWAY, OR ANY HIGH SPEED ROAD FOR FEAR OF A TIRE FAILURE THAT MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT & INJURY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
THE BRAKE ROTOR ON MY HONDA CRV 2005 IS DEFECTIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE STEEL IS NOT CARBONATED EVENLY AND THERE A SOME PIECES THAT DO NOT WEAR OFF. THOSE PEACES ARE BEATING ON THE BREAK PADS AND ARE THE REASON FOR A SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK CAR TO HONDA, BUT WAS GIVEN SOME ABSURD DIAGNOSES, I.E. REAR DISKS HAVE RUST MARKS ON THEM, DUE TO LOW MILEAGE. FYI: MY CAR HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT. I SPOKE WITH THE MANAGEMENT, BUT THEY REFUSED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT IT. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE DEFECT FOR YOUR REVIEW. YOU CAN VIEW THEM BY CLICKING ON THE FOLLOWING 4 LINKS.

TIRES:SIDEWALL
DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND PULLED OFF TO EAT. WHEN I PULLED INTO TIE RESTAURANT THE CAR HANDLED FUNNY SO I CHECKED THE TIRES WHEN I GOT OUT BUT THEY SEEMED OK. I CAME OUT FROM EATING AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS TOTALLY FLAT. ON INSPECTION THE SIDEWALL WAS BLOWN OUT ABOUT 2-3 INCHES IN A JAGGED PATTERN. LATER LOOKING AT THE TIRE AT HOME THERE APPEARED TO BE ANOTHER CRACK IN THE TIRE. I CALLED BRIDGESTONE TO REPLACE THE TIRE AFTER MY BRIDGESTONE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE AND IT WAS DISCONTINUED. THEY STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. ALSO THEY STATED THAT THIS TIRE WAS NOT THE TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE HONDA CR-V ORIGINALLY. THEY WERE NOT EVEN ABLE TO FIND THE TIRE IN THEIR SYSTEM. I FIND THIS CURIOUS. *JB

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AIR BAG SENSOR UNDER RIGHT FRONT SEAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS WAS FOUND WHEN THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED I CALL IN MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO LOOK AT DAMPNESS IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY RESOLUTION TO THE DAMPNESS/MOLD/MILDEW ISSUE AND NO ONE HAS ADDRESSED THE AIR BAG SENSOR, OTHER THAN A VERBAL NOTIFICATION FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I'VE FOLLOWED WHAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS SUGGESTED IN REGARDS TO THE DAMPNESS/MOLD/MILDEW - REMOVED THE MATS (RIGHT FRONT WAS WET UNDERNEATH WITH MOLD), KEEP THE A/C ON EXTERIOR CIRCULATION WHEN THE CAR IS CLOSED UP & HAD THE CAR DETAILED...NONE OF WHICH HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THEY WANT ME TO GUARANTEE PAYMENT OF OVER $4000 TO HAVE THE CARPET REMOVED, CAR 'DRIED' OUT & CARPET REPLACED. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY ABS AND VSA LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND YOU WOULD HEAR THE BRAKE MAKING RATTLING NOISE. THEN THE LIGHT WOULD SHUT OFF AND IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR A FEW HOURS. THE LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE LAST TIME AND STAYED ON. ALSO THE BRAKE WENT ALL THOUGH WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WASN'T CONTROLLABLE. THE CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP CT AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT IT NEEDED A NEW YAW SENSOR. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT BACK FIXED IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I SUGGEST THAT ANYONE WHO HAS THESE ISSUES CALL YOUR DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM RUN THE COMPUTER DIAG. TEST ON THE CAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE CT DEALERSHIP SAID THAT SOME OF THE EARLIER '05'S NEEDED NEW MODULARS, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM... *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I HAVE A 2005 HONDA CRV PURCHASED NEW FROM JEFF WYLER HONDA IN FLORENCE, KY. TWICE NOW, MY IGNITION HAS SIMPLY SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ONCE THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY (IN 2006) AND AGAIN THIS WEEK (2007) ON A BUSY ROAD. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THE GREEN KEY ICON IN THE DASH FLASHES. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF TRAFFIC, SHIFT INTO PARK AND RESTART. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY, BUT IT'S A REALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING 65 MPH AND YOUR CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR. NOW I HAVE NEARLY 60,000. OTHERWISE, THE CRV IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDA CRV IGNITION SWITCHES IN 2002, AND THE DESCRIPTION SOUNDED IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING. I THINK THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE A YEAR AGO, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY SUSPECTED IT WAS CELL PHONE INTERFERENCE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IF SO, THAT'S A BIG FLAW BECAUSE...WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CELL PHONE IN THEIR PURSE IN THE CAR?
