WHEELS
THERE SHOULD BE A RUBBER FLAP OF SOME KIND TO CLOSE OF THE LARGE OPENING IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA WHERE THE STEERING RODS COME THROUGH TO THE WHEEL. THIS LARGE OPENING LETS WATER, MUD, SNOW & SLUSH SPRAY UP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COVERING THE ENGINE, BATTERY, BRAKE AND POWER STEERING FLUID CONTAINERS SO THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS DIRTY AND HARD TO CHECK FOR THE CORRECT LEVELS. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF MY DEALER SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, BUT THEY SAID THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS IS A BAD DESIGN, I MADE RUBBER FLAPS AND INSTALLED THEM MYSELF, THEY HELPED 100%. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN 2005 UNLESS THIS IS REMEDIED. *LA

THIS IS THE 3RD RECALL ON MY 2002 HONDA CR-V. THE 1ST WAS FOR THE POWER-TRAIN-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE 2ND FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM-IGNITION SWITCH, AND NOW IT'S FOR THE CR-V A/T SHIFT CABLE. THE WHOLE CAR SEEMS FAULTY. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER? SHOULDN'T THEY JUST GIVE ME A NEW CAR? *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
DRIVING AT 65 MPH, MY 2002 HONDA CRV LOST TOTAL CONTROL AND UNCONTROLLABLY JERKED TO RIGHT AND LEFT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND ENDED UP SPINNING COMPLETELY AROUND. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE JERKING AND SPINNING STOPPED WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. THEN WHEN STARTING THE CAR AGAIN IT WOULD NOT RUN IN 2ND, 4TH OR 5TH GEARS. IN THOSE GEARS THE CAR JERKED FORWARD (AT LEAST IT WAS IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION). I DROVE IN 1ST AND 3RD GEARS ONLY. THE HONDA MECHANIC IN KALISPELL MONTANA WHERE I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SAID THAT A FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX THAT HAD TO WITH THE "LOAD" HAD COME LOOSE AND THEREFORE CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY "MALFUNCTION." ONE FUSE CAN CAUSE SUCH AN EXPERIENCE MUST BE AN ENGINEERING FLAW. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
PROBLEMS CONCERNING WITH A/T SHIFT CABLE.*MR CONSUMER QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT DIRT COULD CAUSE THE CABLE TO SLIP, RATHER THAN THE CORROSION CONCEPT IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL. CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PARK GEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED HER VEHICLE TO MOVE WHILE IN PARK. CONSUMER FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE WHEN SHE PULLED INTO HER GARAGE, AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. AFTER SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE, SHE SEEN IT ROLL BACKWARDS. SHE JUMPED INTO THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOVING DOOR JAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE. SHE PULLED IT AWAY FROM THE GARAGE WALL AND PARKED IT AGAIN IN ITS ORIGINAL PLACE. AT THIS POINT SHE NOTICED THE DOOR AND THE GARAGE SUSTAINED DAMAGE. IN ADDITION, CONSUMER NOTED THE GARAGE HAS A LITTLE SLOPE. THE NEXT DAY, THE SERVICEMAN KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT THE GET THE DOOR REPAIRED. CONSUMER WAS TOLD TO ORDER THE PARTS AND SHE DID. THE DOOR HAD SCRATCHES, DENTS AND DAMAGES TO THE VINYL MOLDING. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY OTHERS TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. SHE DID FIND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. CONSUMER WAS TOLD TO USE THE PARK BRAKE UNTIL THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. SHE REQUESTED THAT HONDA ABSORB THE COST TO RESTORE THE VEHICLE IN THE "AS NEW" STATE IT WAS IN SINCE THE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO A MECHANICAL FAILURE. *PH

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
