I HAVE A 2002 CRV NOW WITH 139,000 THIS IS THE 4TH TIME MY AIR COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT ON THIS CAR AND HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT OUT WAS IN JULY 2003 AT 31842 MLS, JULY 2004 AT 46,997 MLS, MAY 2006 AT 99,384 AND NOW JUNE 2008 AT 139,000. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT WENT OUT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE 3RD TIME HONDA SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER 100K AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE EVEN KNOW THEY KNOW THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE COMPRESSORS IN 2002 AND 2003 CRV. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THIS IS IN CONNECTION WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. HEAD A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY. OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE COMPRESSOR SECTION. I TURNED OFF THE SWITCH TO THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE CLICKING NOISE STOPPED. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE COMPRESSOR BLEW UP WITH WHITE STEAM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY AND WAS TOLD THE COMPRESSOR WAS CRACKED AND THAT I NEED A NEW COMPRESSOR, REPLACED WITH THE CLUTCH, COIL FILTER TO THE TUNE OF $1502 PLUS TAX. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO CHECK ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A LOT OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINS DEALING WITH THE HONDA CRV 2003 AND 2004 SERIES. MINE IS 2003. ALTHOUGH THERE MANY OTHER LINKS, THE ONE I NOTED WAS TOPIX.COM. EVERYONE COMPLAINED ABOUT IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AND DIAGNOSTICS AND COST. AT THE MONET HONDA AMERICA HAS DECIDED TO SHARE THE REPAIR COST WITH ME WHICH I HAVE ACCEPTED. BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN OCCURRING ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE FILED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH YOU. THANKS *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO MY SUBDIVISION, BOTH OF MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR, NO CHANGE IN DRIVING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY TRIGGER THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 100 YARDS HOME. I SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES INCLUDING AIR BAG BURN TO LEFT UPPER ARM AND TEMPORARY LOSS OF HEARING TO THE LEFT EAR. I SUBSEQUENTLY DEVELOPED A HEADACHE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THE CAR EVALUATED BY A DEALERSHIP, BUT THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF TOWING AT THIS TIME. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CR-V 2 YEARS AGO. MY TRADE IN VEHICLE WAS A 1997 HONDA CR-V. SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT, AND SOMETIMES THE DOME LIGHT INSIDE THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BLOWING OUT ON AVERAGE, EVERY TWO MONTHS. DURING THE LAST YEAR OR 2 BEFORE TRADING THE 1997 CR-V, I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING ON THAT VEHICLE ALSO. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HENDRICKS HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC. I HAVE MOST OF MY SERVICE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, DONE AT THAT DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THAT THEY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I VISITED SUPERIOR HONDA RECENTLY IN ORANGEBURG SOUTH CAROLINA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER THERE TOLD ME THAT IN RECENT MONTHS, HE WAS AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE CR-V OWNER AND SEVERAL OWNERS OF CIVICS WHO HAVE COME BACK AND FORTH TO THEIR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT. HENDRICKS HONDA ADVISED AGAINST CONTACTING THE CORPORATION AND SAID IT WOULD LIKELY REFER THE MATTER BACK TO THEM. I COMMUTE TO WORK 120 MILES ROUND TRIP DAILY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS AND HIGHWAY PATROLMEN REGARDING ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS BEING OUT. I NOW CARRY COPIES OF THE SERVICE REQUESTS SHOWING THAT I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DURING MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOW THESE TO THE OFFICE AS PROOF THAT THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AND I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE IT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND/OR TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, OR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS, AND HAVE FOUND NONE. POST SCRIPT: THERE ARE NUMEROUS "INCIDENT DATES". THE ONE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT AN IGNITION PROBLEM ON A 98 HONDA CRV. MY CAR HAS 97,000 MILES ON IT. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE HONDA SHOULD HAVE INFORMED EVERY OWNER THAT THESE SWITCHES WERE FAILING ON ALMOST ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. THIS CAUSES YOUR CAR TO STALL RANDOMLY IN TRAFFIC. IT IS A HAZARD. WE OWNERS DESERVED TO KNOW THAT THIS IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAILING ON ALL THEIR CARS. I WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT BEFORE IT STALLED PERMANENTLY IN DOWNTOWN IRONWOOD IF I HAD BEEN INFORMED. IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR BUT THE SYMPTOMS ARE A MYSTERY TO ANY MECHANIC WHO HAS NOT READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND A WEB PAGE POSTED BY A KIND SOUL WHO EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ALL THESE HONDAS. HTTP://WWW.VISUALIMPRESSIONS.CA/SWITCH/ I HOPE YOU CAN KICK HONDA IN THE PANTS AND MAKE THEM INFORM THEIR OWNER AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY THEIR DEALERS. CAN YOU BELIEVE, THEIR DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED. *TR

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS, TIRES:VALVE
TODAY I HAD A 4TH VALVE STEM FAILURE THAT HAS OCCURRED ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV THAT I PURCHASED USED ON AUGUST 3, 2007. THE 1ST VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON AUGUST 3, 2007 ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE. THE 2ND VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 10,2007 ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. THE 3RD VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2008 ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AGAIN. THE 4TH VALVE STEM FAILURE OCCURRED ON JUNE 18, 2008 ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I FOUND OUT TODAY THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF SOME VALVE STEMS SURE TO FAILURE. I DO NOT KNOW THE ODDS OF ONE CAR HAVING FOUR VALVE STEM FAILURES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR, BUT I CAM GUESS THAT THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I OWN A 1999 HONDA CR-V. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 102,000 MILES. THE CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER, SHAKING WHILE IDLING AND CHUGGING LOUDLY DURING GEAR SHIFTING. ONE DAY THE ENGINE JUST DIED, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT I WAS DRIVING THROUGH. NO WARNING. I THEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC I TRUST. THEY FIRST HAD ME REPLACE THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. IT TOOK THEM TWO VISITS TO FINALLY REALIZE THE VALVES WERE BURNT AND THE HEAD NOW MUST BE REPLACED. AVERAGE COST TO REPLACE IS $3500 TO $4000. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AND IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR 1997 TO 2000 PLUS MODELS. THIS PROBLEM MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

TIRES
I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CR-V WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELLER P225/65R17 102T ALL-SEASON TIRES. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT HAVE SLITS/GROOVES IN THE SURFACE FOR RAIN RUN OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTED SWAYING ERRATICALLY SIDE TO SIDE ON OTHER SURFACES IT HANDLES FINE. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE TECH INSPECTED AND TEST DROVE IT, BUT FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT WASN'T UNTIL LAST FRIDAY THAT ANOTHER PERSON EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING ON THE SAME STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH A 2008 CR-V WITH THESE TYPE OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES. THE HONDA TECH TEST DROVE THE CR-V WITH OTHER TYPE OF TIRES AND BRIDGESTONE AND DISCOVERED THE SWAYING OF THE VEHICLE ONLY HAPPENS WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELLAR. AT THIS POINT, THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THIS PARTICULAR DEALER HAS REALLY NOT ADDRESSED THAT THIS VEHICLE WITH THESE PARTICULAR TIRES ON THIS TYPE OF SURFACE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE NOR IS IT A PRIORITY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THESE UNSAFE TIRES FOR A WEEK NOW WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. *TR
