ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WITH 57K MILES AND ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE, MY HONDA CRV HAD A BURNT EXHAUST VALVE ON THE #3 CYLINDER. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL REFERRING TO THE #3 CYLINDER AND THE VALVE TIGHTNESS FROM THE FACTORY. IF HONDA REALIZED THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM, COULD THEY HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THESE VALVES DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE? I'M NOT HAPPY IN PAYING FOR A REPAIR THAT HONDA COULD HAVE PREVENTED BUT DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. *PH

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AIR CONDITIONER FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE DEALER TRIED TWICE TO FIX IT, BUT FAILED. IT IS NOW GETTING A NEW EVAPORATOR, AMONG OTHER PARTS. AT FIRST, THE DEALER WANTED ME TO PAY OVER $700 TO REPLACE PARTS. AFTER SOME COMPLAINING, THEY AGREED TO ONLY CHARGE $270. THIS IS ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE'S HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONER. *AK

SUSPENSION:REAR
REAR SUSPENSION ARM MOUNTING BUSHING IS INADEQUATE AND CAUSED THE ARMS FLAT END TO LOCK INTO THE ASPHALT WHEN IT BROKE FREE FROM ITS SPLIT PIN RESTRANTS WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VAULT AND FLIP OR RIP OFF THE REAR WHEEL ASSEMBILY. *AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS MANDATORY FOR CARS TO INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. ON THE HONDA 2001 CRV IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IS A DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INDICATOR. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE INVESTIGATED OR EVEN RECALLED. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I GOT A 2003 HONDA CR-V, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IT'S MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. I WENT TO THE DEALER SO THEY CAN CHECK IT BUT ONE OF THE GUYS SHOWED ME A DIAGRAM OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HE SAID THAT IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH CR-V AND CIVIC. THEY CAN PUT GREASE ON IT BUT AFTER A WHILE YOU WILL HEAR THAT CLICKING SOUND AGAIN. FOR ME THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THEY CALL IT "SLIDING DISC BRAKES". *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, OF MY 1999 HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 86,520 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SHIFTING SLUGGISHLY EVEN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, I JUST DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT WAS NOT NORMAL UNTIL I HAD A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. I HAD THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE MY CR-V REGULARLY. THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS A NOISE WHEN THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED IN HEAVY SNOW IN DECEMBER OF 2000. THE DEALER "REPLACED CVT FLUID PER TRANSMISSION NOISE" ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE. THE CR-V HAD 26,375 MILES AT THAT SERVICE INVOICE DATE. THE FLUIDS WERE CHANGED AGAIN AT 30,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 65,000 MILES AND FLUIDS WERE CHANGED. AT 72,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLUIDS WERE CHANGED AGAIN! FINALLY AT 86,495 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND FLUIDS WERE CHANGED BUT AT 86,520 THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HARDLY SHIFT TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND A USED TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. DOES HONDA STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND OFFER ANY PAYMENT OR EXTENDED WARRANTY? I AM IN SHOCK THAT MY HONDA WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH SO FEW MILES, AFTER ALL THE GREAT REPORTS I READ BEFORE BUYING A HONDA! *NLM

AIR BAGS
THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT TURNED ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS NOT FRONTAL IMPACT AND/OR IMPACT WHATSOEVER SO THEREFORE I SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE SRS SYSTEM ITSELF BUT NO COOPERATION WAS OFFERED FROM THE DEALER AND/OR HONDA. A PERSONAL FRIEND ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT HE DID NOT REPORT IT AS MAY BE THE CASE WITH MANY INDIVIDUALS. THIS CONCERNS ME AND THEREFORE I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND TIME. *AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MAY 19, 2003 AT 6:30PM - BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TIRE BLEW OUT; TIRE SEPARATED FROM TREAD AND FLEW BACK AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK REMAINING PARTS OF TIRE INTO FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE "I CAN WARRANTY OUT THE DAMAGED TIRE AS A DEFECT, BUT CANNOT REPLACE OTHER THREE TIRES - THEY LOOK FINE". I EXPLAINED THE OTHER TIRE WAS "FINE" UNTIL IT BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS SHOCKED THAT HE WAS WILLING TO WARRANTY THE DAMAGED TIRE AS A DEFECT, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE THE OTHER TIRES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE AND COMPARED IT TO OTHER BLOW OUTS WHICH HAVE CAUSED FATAL ACCIDENTS AND FOUND MY TIRE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE OTHER BLOW OUTS. THE POLICE OFFICER WHO SHOWED UP TO THE ACCIDENT DID NOT TAKE A REPORT BUT DID SAY THAT EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LAYING A SPIKE STRIP DOWN WOULD NOT CAUSE A BLOW OUT LIKE THIS AND SUSPECTED A DEFECT.*JB
