TIRES
I HAVE FOUR GOODYEAR TIRES ON MY HONDA CRV THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PRODUCTION DATE STAMPED ON THE DOT CODE. THE CODE READS DOT MDMO ALHR. THERE IS NO DATE STAMPED ON THE TIRE FOLLOWING THE CODE. I PURCHASED THE TIRES S FEW YEARS AGO. MY QUESTION IS; WHAT CAN I DO NOW THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW OLD MY TIRES ARE? HAS GOODYEAR FILED TO COMPLY WITH YOUR MANDATE? WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED. REGARDS, CARLOS R. MUNOZ *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
AFTER DRIVING MY NEW HONDA CR-V FOR 4 WEEKS, 3 TO 4 TIMES A WEEK I BEGAN TO FEEL SICK. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE HEADACHES, NAUSEA, BURNING SENSATION IN MY SINUSES AND THROAT, OVER-ALL WEAKNESS. THIS CONTINUED FOR 5 WEEKS UNTIL I WAS SO SICK THAT I STAYED HOME IN BED FOR 3 DAYS IN MID MARCH. THEN WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AFTER RETURNING TO WORK I AGAIN GOT VERY SICK AND IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT I SUSPECTED THAT THE CAR WAS SOMEHOW THE CAUSE. I SAW MY GP DOCTOR, EXPLAINED MY SYMPTOMS AND HE CONFIRMED THAT THE CHEMICAL EMISSIONS COMING FROM THE NEW MATERIALS AND ADHESIVES IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR COULD BE THE CAUSE. AS LONG AS I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK AND DO SO WITH ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPEN I DO NOT GET SICK. I HAVE READ REPORTS THAT INDICATE THAT IT WILL TAKE 6-8 MONTHS BEFORE THE HARMFUL CHEMICAL LEVELS DROP TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. ALSO, THE REPORTS SAY THAT IF THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE SUN, THE HEAT INTENSIFIES THE TOXIC CHEMICAL LEVELS AND THAT THIS CAN LAST UP TO 3 YEARS. BECAUSE THIS HAS MADE ME SO VERY SICK I FELT THAT I SHOULD REPORT IT. *TR

STEERING
2008 HONDA CRV LX - STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL AND WHEN CORRECTING THE WHEEL, IT OVER-CORRECTS ITSELF AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE. IT DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE UNSAFE STEERING PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR NUMEROUS CRV OWNERS. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON MY 1998 HONDA CR-V. I HAD IT REPLACED, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SRS(SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AS A RESULT OF DETERMINING THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED. I CONTACTED A HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT AS LONG AS THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS OFF AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $90 TO HAVE IT TURNED OFF. I ALSO WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK (WITHOUT PROTECTION FROM THE SRS AND PERHAPS THE COMPUTER WOULD RECYCLE AND TURN THE SRS BACK ON. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING OF THE SRS SYSTEM AND THE COMPUTER, HONDA HAS FORCED ME TO EITHER DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT THE SAFETY THAT I BOUGHT, OR PAY A SERVICE CENTER TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM...ALL OVER A REAL SIMPLE REPAIR...REPLACING A BATTERY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO RESET THE CLOCK, RADIO, OR OTHER LESS ESSENTIAL ELECTRONICS, BUT THE AIR BAGS! HONDA IS FORCING ME TO SPEND MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE IN ORDER TO USE A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT I FEEL IS ESSENTIAL FOR DRIVING SAFETY. HONDA SHOULD ENABLE THIS SYSTEM FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. PLEASE HELP.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
HELLO I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CRV.. I HAVE 102K ON MY CAR. I HAVE HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP (HONDAPRO) AND THEY TOLD ME THAT PARTICULAR ENGINE HAS HAD PROBLEMS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE VALVES OVERTIGHTENING AND CAUSING THE HEAD TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. NO SYMPTOMS ACCRUE THEN THE CEL COMES ON WITH CODES OF MISFIRE, BY THAT TIME ITS TOO LATE. BURNT AND CRACKED VALVES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS THAT HAS OTHER OWNERS OF THE HONDA CRV THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO REPLACE THE HEAD THAT COSTS THE CONSUMER AT LEAST BETWEEN 3-5K TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE VALVES ON MINE ONCE AT ABOUT 87,327 MILES. I DON'T THINK THAT THE ENGINE HEAD IS A GOOD ONE WHEN ITS ONLY BEEN LESS THAT 15K MILES AND THE PROBLEMS COME BACK. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN GET DONE ABOUT THIS HEAD PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OCTOBER 2005 - LOW COMPRESSION, BURNED VALVES. HEAD MACHINED, VALVES REPLACED. ONLY 82,000 MILES. COMPLAINED TO HONDA AND THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR THE PARTS & LABOR, ALMOST $1,500. FAST FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 2008. SAME FAILURE, SAME VALVES, 162,000 MILES. COST NOW IS $4,000 BECAUSE THE HEAD CAN'T BE MACHINED A SECOND TIME. DEALER STATED HONDA RECOMMENDS VALVES BE ADJUSTED EVERY 30,000 MILES. OWNER'S MANUAL CONTRADICTS THAT - INSPECT/ADJUST VALVES ONLY IF NOISY AND AT 105,000 MILES. BECAUSE THE VALVES GET TIGHT, THEY DON'T GET NOISY. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HEAD ASSEMBLY. *TR
