SUSPENSION
THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD DRAGGING SOUND WHEN I MADE A U-TURN TO THE LEFT ONLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THE THIRD TIME THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THE FRONT FENDER WAS PRESSING ON THE TIRES WHEN I TURNED. THE SOUND DISAPEARED FEW DAYS AND THEN RETURNED, BUT WAS MORE SUBTLE. IT'S A PAIN TO HEAR THAT SOUND AND NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IN ADDITION, THE LOUD CLICKING SOUND THAT THE TIRES MAKE WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES IS IRRITATING.*AK

SUSPENSION:REAR
REAR SUSPENSION ARM MOUNTING BUSHING IS INADEQUATE AND CAUSED THE ARMS FLAT END TO LOCK INTO THE ASPHALT WHEN IT BROKE FREE FROM ITS SPLIT PIN RESTRANTS WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VAULT AND FLIP OR RIP OFF THE REAR WHEEL ASSEMBILY. *AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MAY 19, 2003 AT 6:30PM - BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TIRE BLEW OUT; TIRE SEPARATED FROM TREAD AND FLEW BACK AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK REMAINING PARTS OF TIRE INTO FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE "I CAN WARRANTY OUT THE DAMAGED TIRE AS A DEFECT, BUT CANNOT REPLACE OTHER THREE TIRES - THEY LOOK FINE". I EXPLAINED THE OTHER TIRE WAS "FINE" UNTIL IT BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS SHOCKED THAT HE WAS WILLING TO WARRANTY THE DAMAGED TIRE AS A DEFECT, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE THE OTHER TIRES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE AND COMPARED IT TO OTHER BLOW OUTS WHICH HAVE CAUSED FATAL ACCIDENTS AND FOUND MY TIRE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE OTHER BLOW OUTS. THE POLICE OFFICER WHO SHOWED UP TO THE ACCIDENT DID NOT TAKE A REPORT BUT DID SAY THAT EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LAYING A SPIKE STRIP DOWN WOULD NOT CAUSE A BLOW OUT LIKE THIS AND SUSPECTED A DEFECT.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. WE USE TO GET ALMOST 320 MILES TO THE GALLON, WE ARE NOW DOWN TO 100 TO 180. THE CAR BUCKS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL. THE V-TEC DOES NOT WANT TO KICK IN ALL THE TIME ANYMORE. LOSS OF POWER. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THE A/C UNIT WENT OUT LAST JULY AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT SINCE. WE SPENT $100 ON SPARK PLUGS THAT WE WERE TOLD WOULD FIX THE FUEL PROBLEM, THAT HAS NOT CHANGED. WE ARE NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS WE HAVE TO FIND THEM OURSELVES. *JB

I OWN A HONDA CRV 2002 EX WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND ~12,000 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN IN OUR DRIVE WAY, THE EXACT SPOT. IT'S HARD TO START AFTERWARDS. SHE DOES START TO UNDO THE SEAT BELT RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR DIES. THIS IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. *JB

2002 HONDA CRV PURCHASED AT BRICKELL HONDA 12/02 IN MIAMI, FL. ON 3/6/2003, AS CAR WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY (PALMETTO EXPRESSWAY) DURING RUSH HOUR, THE CAR TURNED OFF, STEERING LOCKED. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T GET HIT BY OTHERS TRAVELING AT EVEN FASTER SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR, SAME EVENING TO BRAMAN HONDA, THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE FOLLOWING DAY IT WAS REPAIRED. SUPPOSEDLY, THE COMPUTER HAD NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I COULD HAVE DIED, CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MYSELF, THE CAR AND MANY OTHERS ON THE SAME ROAD THAT DAY. *NLM
