TIRES:TREAD/BELT
FRIDAY EVENING WHILE DRIVING IN 5:00 PM TRAFFIC I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE IN MY 2002 HONDA CRV. IT WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK TIRE WHICH HAD THE BLOWOUT. THE CAR IS ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 26,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS NOT HURT NOR WAS THE CAR DAMAGED. THE TIRE IS A BRIDGESTONE, I APOLOGIZE THAT I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT MODEL, AND IS THE STANDARD TIRE PUT ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO ME NEW OFF THE HONDA LOT. ON SATURDAY MORNING I WENT TO A TIRE SHOP TO GET A NEW TIRE AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD SEVERE TREAD SEPARATION ON THE OTHER 3 TIRES. THE SPARE HAD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE NO SEPARATION. THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE SHOWED SIGNS OF SEVERE SEPARATION, THAT EVEN A NOVICE LIKE MYSELF COULD NOTICE. THE GENTLEMEN AT THE TIRE SHOP SAID THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAVING TREAD SEPARATION COULD POSSIBLY BE A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, IN AUGUST 2003 I HAD A 20,000 MILE CHECK UP AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALER, WHICH INCLUDED TIRE ROTATION AND INSPECTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE TIRE. IN SEPTEMBER 2003 I RETURNED TO THE SAME HONDA DEALER TO GET THE TIRES BALANCED. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT BUT EVEN MORE CONCERNED THAT THE MECHANICS DID NOT NOTICE THE TREAD SEPARATION. I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PASS ALONG THIS BIT OF INFORMATION. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
OUR 1999 HONDA CR-V LX REQUIRED BOTH FRONT AXLES REPLACED AT 40,900 MILES. NO EXPLANATION FROM THE DEALER AS TO HOW BOTH FRONT AXLES WOULD FAIL (THEY WERE BENT), LET ALONE AT 40,000+ MILES. OUR OWN MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND ADVISED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BUT WOULD NOT ELABORATE FURTHER. NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA AND WHEN AGAIN PRESSED THE DEALER ADVISED, 'WE MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING.' THE WAS NO SUCH IMPACT AND IF IN FACT WE DID "HIT" SOMETHING THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL AND OR BODY DAMAGE AS A RESULT. *LA

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:ACCESSORY SCISSOR/SCREW/BOTTLE JACK/LIFT
MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA CRV. ON AUGUST 2, 2003 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH OUR FAMILY (WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN) FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT FLAT. I USED THE JACK WITH THE CAR TO CHANGE THE TIRE. I FIRST LOOSENED THE LUG NUTS ON THE GROUND. I RAISED THE CAR WITH THE JACK. WHILE TAKING OFF THE TIRE - THE JACK COLLAPSED CAUSING THE CAR TO FALL. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND THANK GOD NOBODY GOT HURT! THE JACK WAS DAMAGED (IT IS TILTED TO ONE SIDE). WHEN I RAISED THE CAR IT WAS ON ASPHALT AND FLAT GROUND. I CONTACTED HONDA USA DIRECTLY PER MY DEALER'S INSTRUCTIONS. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS JACK WAS DESIGNED POORLY AND/OR WAS DEFECTIVE. HONDA REPLIED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD JUST BUY ANOTHER JACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I AM VERY TROUBLED BY THEIR LACK OF CONCERN. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ISSUE ME A NEW JACK UNDER THE WARRANTY AS THE CAR HAD 42,000 (6K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY). I FIND THIS TROUBLING TOO, HOW WOULD I KNOW THE JACK WAS DEFECTIVE UNTIL I USED IT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED ABOUT HONDA'S LACK OF CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY.*JB
