ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
LOUD RATTLING NOISE FROM ENGINE UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE; HAD CR-V TOWED TO LIA HONDA IN ENFIELD, CT; LIA SAID EITHER ENGINE FIRE OR MISFIRED SPARK PLUG - COULDN'T TELL FOR SURE, BUT THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND THAT I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE IT; MACHINE SHOP IS INVESTIGATING TO DETERMINE IF CYLINDER HEAD, WHICH WAS MELTED, CAN BE REPAIRED, OR IF REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED; CHECKING FOR ADDITIONAL ENGINE DAMAGE; INVESTIGATION BY LIA IS UNDERWAY - SO UNSURE HOW THIS WILL END. *TR

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
THE SEAT BELT LOCKED IN AN OPEN POSITION UPON IMPACT, CAUSING MY FATHER INJURY TO HIS CHEST AS HE WAS IMPACTED UPON THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY; THE FORCEFUL COLLISION CAUSED THE FRAME IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. THIS VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I ASKED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS LOCATED AT THREE (3) DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. THEY IGNORED MY REQUEST. THE COMPLAINT NUMBER THAT I WAS ASSIGNED BY AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION IS #N012007-07-2300426. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR COLLISION AND THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE TOTAL DAMAGE TO MY 2007 HONDA CR-V WAS WELL OVER $8,000. I WAS REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE CAR I WAS PUSHED INTO AND ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE CAR THAT REAR-ENDED ME. THE REAR END DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS OVER $3,000 AND THE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS OVER $5,000. THIS WAS A VERY LOW SPEED COLLISION ON A LOCAL STREET AND EVEN THE COLLISION SHOP MANAGER WAS STUNNED AT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT END. THE COMPRESSOR OF THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR BY THIS MINOR COLLISION AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY AUTO INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR THIS. THE COLLISION SHOP MANAGER SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT - HE ASKED ME IF THIS WAS A HIGH SPEED COLLISION (IT WAS NOT), THEN ASKED ME IF THE CAR I WAS PUSHED INTO HAD A TRAILER HITCH STICKING OUT (IT HAD NOTHING STICKING OUT). I NOW AM READING NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS BY PEOPLE ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR IN THIS CAR IN WHICH THE DEALER STATED THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS DAMAGED BY A "PEBBLE" FROM THE ROAD. BASED ON THESE COMPLAINTS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE, I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE 2007 HONDA CR-V'S AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR, CAUSING THE CONSUMERS TO HAVE TO ENDURE HUGE COSTS TO REPLACE THIS COMPRESSOR BECAUSE OF SUCH MINOR THINGS AS PEBBLES STRIKING THE PART AND LOW SPEED MINOR FENDER BENDERS!!! *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
WITH 62,000 MILES ON MY 2002 CR-V, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. HAVING HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 2000 ACCORD AND A 2000 ACURA TL I KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM I A FAILED SENSOR SYSTEM AND THE COST WILL APPROACH $700. HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SRS AND I CONSIDER IT AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA CONTINUES TO STONEWALL THE PROBLEM AND SIMPLY DENIES THE PROBLEM IS THEIRS. YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO CLOUT TO MAKE THEM DO ANYTHING SO THE ONLY ANSWER IS TO STOP BUYING HONDA PRODUCTS. I HEREBY PROMISE TO NEVER BY ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE ACURA WITH A TOYOTA AVALON, AND THE ACCORD WITH A TOYOTA CAMRY. I WILL REPLACE THE CR-V WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN A HONDA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE THE ENGINE IS UNDER LOAD IN A 2002 CRV-EX HONDA, IF THE DRIVER PULSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE RAPIDLY THERE IS DRAMATIC BRAKE FAILURE. IN A PANIC STOP, IF THE DRIVER PRESSES ON BOTH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THIS TIMING, THERE WOULD BE NO BRAKING POWER. IF THE DRIVER SUGGESTED THE BRAKES FAILED, THERE WOULD BE NO OTHER EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM WITHOUT PERFORMING THIS TEST AS THE BRAKES WILL THEREAFTER PERFORM NORMALLY. I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE FAILURE TO HONDA MECHANICS WITH A PRIVATELY OWNED CAR AND THEY DUPLICATED THE OCCURRENCE IN A DEALER CAR. THEY HAVE RESEARCHED THE HONDA TECHNICAL DATABASES AND COULD NOT FIND ANY REFERENCES TO THE BRAKE FAILURE OR A WAY TO FIX IT. *TR
