SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
THE REAR CENTER PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE BLOCKS ACCESS TO THE REAR PASSENGER BUCKLE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA AMERICA TO CHANGE THIS DESIGN AND THE DEALER'S ANSWER WAS, "UNABLE TO RELOCATE BUCKLES FOR PROPER OPERATION." BASICALLY THE REAR PASSENGER HAS TO RIDE WITHOUT SEAT BELT PROTECTION IF THERE IS A REAR CENTER PASSENGER. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
NOTICE OF 2004 HONDA CR-V WITH OIL LEAKS CATCHING ON FIRE AFTER FIRST OIL CHANGE. WITH LETTER OF WARNING IN HAND FROM HONDA, I TOOK MY CR-V TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE. I ASKED TO SEE THE GASKET AND THE SERVICE TECH SHOWED IT TO ME. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A LARGE (SIZE OF A SHEET OF PAPER) SPILL OF OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AUG 04 AND THE OIL CHANGE HAPPENED IN JAN 17, 05. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS OIL LEAKAGE BEFORE THE OIL CHANGE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A TYPICAL LEAK AFTER THE CHANGE AND TO BRING IT IN. THE CAR IS STILL LEAKING OIL ON JAN 19. MY APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE OIL LEAK IS AFTER 5PM ON JAN 19. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER MY FIRST OIL CHANGE OF MY 2004 HONDA CR-V I NOTICED THE OIL LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING THE CR-V HOME,BECAUSE I HAD ASKED THE ASST. SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE OIL CHANGE FIRES AND HE SAID THAT WAS NO LONGER A PROBLEM, I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH MY CR-V. ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED A WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD VENTS, I QUICKLY PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO THE CHECKERED FLAG SERVICE ENTRANCE AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. CALLING THE ASST. SERVICE MANAGER OVER TO SHOW HIM THE VEHICLE SMOKE WAS COMMONS OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE COMPLETE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED IN OIL. I ASKED TO WATCH AS THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS PUT IT ON THE LIFT (AFTER THEY HAD REPLACED 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE ENGINE). THE SERVICE TECH. THEN SHOWED ME THE DOUBLE OIL RING GASKETS ON THE OIL FILTER. I ASKED HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN? I HAD RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AND THE ONLY NEGATIVE REMARKS I COULD FIND WERE ABOUT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. I HAD PURPOSELY NOT HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE FOR THIS REASON. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FAILSAFES A SYSTEM NEEDS, BUT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS WAY TO MANY. TO ADD FURTHER INSULT I RECEIVED AN ALERT FROM HONDA REQUESTING THAT I GIVE THE SERVICE TECH A NOTICE TO RETURN THE OLD OIL GASKET TO THE CUSTOMER, DOES HONDA EVEN TRACK THAT THIS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME? *NM

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT, WITH WHAT I AND APPARENTLY HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA CONSIDER A SAFETY DEFECT WITH THE 2003 HONDA CRV. THE CENTER REAR HEADREST RESTRAINT IS OF THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR HEADREST ON THIS VEHICLE. WHAT THIS DOES IS PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR VIEW IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. IN ORDER FOR THE DRIVER TO HAVE A CLEAR VIEW FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, THE HEAD RESTRAINT MUST BE REMOVED THEREFORE DEFEATING ITS SAFETY PURPOSE FOR THE MIDDLE PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT. HONDA OBVIOUSLY REALIZED THIS , BECAUSE THE 2005 MODEL HAS A LOWER HEIGHT REAR SEAT MIDDLE PASSENGER HEAD RESTRAINT, AS IT SHOULD. AS A CONSUMER I BELIEVE THAT HONDA, SHOULD OFFER OWNER'S OF THIS VEHICLE, THE NEW UPDATED LOWER HEIGHT HEAD RESTRAINT FOR THE REAR SEAT MIDDLE PASSENGER AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
DURNING THE FIRST OIL CHANGE , THE ORIGINAL OIL FILTER GASKET STUCK TO THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS CREATED A DOUBLE GASKET . THE NEXT MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS GASKET FAILED , SPRAYING OIL UNDER PERSURE ALL OVER THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE AND VERY HOT CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE OIL BURSTED INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE BALL WENT INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, AND THIS STOPPED THE OIL THAT WAS FEEDING THE FIRE. THE FIRE QUICKLY BURNED ITSELF OUT. HAD I NOT BEEN IN A DRIVING SITUATION WHERE I COULD QUICKLY PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF THE CRV , THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER. THERE IS NOW EVIDENCE OF A FIRE INSIDE MY BRAND NEW ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I HAD A DIFFERENT BRAND , OTHER THEN HONDA,OIL FILTER PUT ON.*AK
