WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT LOSES POWER, IT WILL JUST QUIT. THE RADIO, HEATER FAN, BRAKE LIGHTS STILL WORK. WHEN YOU FINALLY COAST TO A STOP AND TRY TO RE-START, IT IMMEDIATELY RE-STARTS AND RUNS OKAY. NOW IT FAILS TO START. I TURN THE KEY AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO START BUT STOPS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THIS CAR VIBRATES A LOT WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I DID NOT FIND OUT THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM UNTIL 3/15/2014. I HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY ALL SAID THAT THE REAR U-JOINT ON THE PROPELLER SHAFT IS BADLY DAMAGED. THIS U-JOINT IS NOT REPAIRABLE BY HONDA DESIGN BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF THE PROPELLER SHAFT. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA DEALER, THE ENTIRE SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1800. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE PROPELLER WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA. THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR MOSTLY LOCALLY ALL THESE YEARS. MY HUSBAND, [XXX], HAS MY PERMISSION TO ACT ON MY BEHALF IN THIS MATTER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT APPROX 147,000 MILES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. AFTER DETERMINING IT WAS NOT DUE TO LEAKING GAS CAP, RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. IT PRODUCED ERROR CODES OF P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304 AND P1399 (ALL MISFIRE CODES). TOOK IT TO A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MECHANIC WHERE THEY ALSO RAN THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTIC WITH SAME ERROR CODES. THE CHECKED THE VALVES RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE (DEFECT) WITH THE FIRST GEN CRV HEAD. HONDA HAS ADMITTED THE PROBLEM AND RE-DESIGNED THE HEAD FOR MY YEAR MODEL TO ELIMINATE THE VALUE PROBLEM. MY HEADS HAD ALREADY BEEN ADJUSTED AT 95K (AS RECOMMENDED BY THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPT) ALTHOUGH THE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT IS AT 105K MILES. WITH MINE REQUIRING ADJUSTMENT 10K MILES SOONER, THIS SHOULD BE A RED FLAG OF A PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE. BUT NOW THERE IS NO ROOM FOR FURTHER ADJUSTMENT; ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEAD WITH THE RE-DESIGNED HEAD. IN EARLIER YEARS (2006) HONDA WAS REPLACING AT NO COST THROUGH THEIR GOODWILL PROGRAM. THEY WON'T ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY - IN FACT, AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A HONDA GOODWILL PROGRAM. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROGRAM BECAUSE MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND THAT AMERICAN HONDA AND DENIED MY REQUEST! I HAD EVERY SINGLE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SERVICE PERFORMED AT OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP; ON TIME OR EARLY AS RECOMMENDED. THE ONLY TIME IT WAS EVER TAKEN SOMEWHERE ELSE WAS FOR A FEW OIL CHANGES AND THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE HONDA COULDN'T WORK ME IN ACCORDING TO MY WORK SCHEDULE. THE REASON I PURCHASED A HONDA IN FIRST PLACE WAS BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THAT ANY HONDA THAT WAS MAINTAINED PER THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE MANUAL SHOULD LAST 300-400K MILES. I DIDN'T EVEN GET HALF OF THAT! NEVER AGAIN - NO MORE HONDA'S FOR ME. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WE FOUND WHAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE THE PERFECT VEHICLE FOR HER A 2000 HONDA CRV WITH ONLY 37,500 MILES ON IT. AFTER LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE WE DECIDED TO PURCHASE IT DUE TO ITS GREAT CONDITION AND LACK OF USE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT. BUT THE PEOPLE WE DEALT WITH LOCALLY STATED IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO LACK OF DRIVING AND WOULD NEED ONLY A TUNE UP. WE PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON FRIDAY 8-20. I TUNED UP THE CRV WITH NEW PLATINUM PLUGS, NEW ROTOR, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, AND PLUG WIRES. THE TRUCK RAN A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I DECIDED TO BRING IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT FIRST THING MONDAY 8-23. THEY STATED IT MAY BE A VALVE ADJUSTMENT. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEMS WERE MUCH LARGER. A ROCKER ARM HAD BROKEN OFF AND WAS FLOATING IN THE ENGINE AND HAD DONE DAMAGE TO VALVES ETC. THE CRV WOULD NEED A TOP END REBUILD WITH HEAD ETC AT A COST OF $4400. WE PAID ONLY $4500 FOR THE VEHICLE. *TR
