POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TWICE IN THE FIRST 6 WEEKS I HAVE REACHED FOR THE RADIO CONTROLS AND HAVE ACCIDENTLY GOTTEN THE SLEEVE OF MY COAT CAUGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFTER CAUSING ME TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS COULD FURTHER AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE. THIS COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES AS WELL AS DOING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THE CRV, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ONE. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE POOR AND HAZERDOUS DESIGN OF THE "CPILLAR MOUNTED REAR LIGHTS". BY MOST ACCOUNTS THE CRV IS A GREAT VEHICLE TO OWN. IT IS ANOTHER MATTER COMPLETELY IF YOU HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF FOLLOWING ONE IN TRAFFIC, AS I DID, IF YOU OWN A CAR. YOU SEE, THERE ARE NO REAR TAIL LIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS VEHICLE AND NOT EVEN A CYCLOPS LIGHT IN THE CENTER OF IT. INSTEAD, THERE IS A LOVELY TIRE PROUDLY DISPLAYING THE HONDA LOGO. THEIR WEBSITES EVEN BOAST ABOUT THAT NICE WRAP-AROUND LOOK IN THE BACK, THEY JUST DON'T TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WITH YOUR NAME ON IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED TO PUT IN LIGHTS ON THE BOTTOM SO LOWER RIDING VEHICLES CAN SEE THEM. IN A LOW CAR OR WITH A SUN VISOR DOWN, ONE CANNOT SEE ANY LIGHTS AT ALL WHERE ONE WOULD REASONABLY EXPECT THEM TO BE, INSTEAD THEY ARE AT THE TOP SIDES OF THE VEHICLE ON THE "OLDER" MODELS. THIS POOR, UNCONSCIONABLE, AND HAZERDOUS DESIGN IN THE NAME OF LOOKS MUST BE FIXED.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE VEHICLE STALLS SUDDENLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE AND IN IDLE, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STOP. SOMETIMES THERE IS AN INDICATION THAT IT WILL STALL BECAUSE MOMENTS BEFORE IT DOES THE RPM GUAGE WILL DROP TO ZERO AND GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE BUT THEN THE CAR WILL STALL. OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO HAVE A DIGANOSTIC DONE AT THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE AND THE COILS FROM A PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC. THE CAR RESTARTS AFTER STALLING BUT IT TAKES UP TO 5 TRYS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND IN TRAFFIC. *AK

THE SPARE TIRE INCLUDED WITH THE NEW VEHICLE WAS MOUNTED AND USED ON APPROXIMATELY 6/20/01. ON 6/29/01 THE TIRE TREAD BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE TREAD SEPARATION CAUSED VEHICLE BODY DAMAGE. TIRE WAS SUBMITTED TO MANUFACTURER FOR ADJUSTMENT. A PARALEGAL FOR THE MANUFACTURER STATED 'SORRY' AND DECLARED THAT AN 'IMPACT BREAK' WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR TREAD SEPARATION AND I WAS DENIED COMPENSATION FOR THE TIRE REPLACEMENT AND VEHICLE DAMAGE.
