MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN 2002. MY HONDA CRV IS A 1999 THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL. I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION ON THE HONDA RECALL WEBSITE, THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.CONSEQUENCE: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. HONDA IS NOT THEREFORE CORRECTING THE CAUSE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH DEGRADATION, THEY ARE SIMPLY ADMITTING THAT IT WEARS OUT PREMATURELY AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD SO THEY ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT. IT HAS NOW BEEN 13 YEARS SINCE IT WAS REPLACED AND I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS WORN OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HONDA ON GRAND, I WAS TOLD THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH DID IN FACT NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THE CAR ALSO HAD A BAD CYLINDER AND THEY WANTED $798.00 TO FIX BOTH WITH TWO HOURS OF LABOR. THEY INSISTED THAT SINCE THE PART HAD BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL RECALL, THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. I AM DISPUTING THIS SINCE HONDA ADMITS THAT THE PART WEARS OUT FASTER DUE TO THE CONFIGURATION, I.E., HIGH ELECTRICAL CHARGE, AND THIS POSES A SAFETY RISK AS IT CAUSES THE CAR TO DIE OUT. THE CAR WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WHEN THE PART WAS REPLACED DURING THE ORIGINAL RECALL, AND THEY HAVE ALREADY SUBSTANTIATED THAT THE PART IS WORN OUT. IN ADDITION, HONDA CHARGES ALMOST $300 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT IT IS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET FOR $40.00, AND IT ONLY REQUIRED 30 MINUTES TO REPLACE. *JS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
GOOD MORNING: WE DON'T HAVE AN INCIDENT TO REPORT, HOWEVER, I'M WRITING TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF AN AIRBAG DEFECT IN OUR HONDA. I'VE CONTACTED (BY PHONE) HONDA AMERICA AND OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER WITH A PROMISE OF A RETURN CALL, BUT NONE YET. YOUR WEBSITE MENTIONED THAT THE VIN# SEARCH FOR RECALLS COVERS THE LAST 14 YEARS. WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE A VEHICLE OLDER THAN THAT? OUR CRV WAS PURCHASED OVER 15 YEARS AGO AND I'M ASSUMING IT HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ON HOW SAFE IT IS? IF NEED BE, I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BAGS BUT I NEED TO KNOW FIRST IF THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED POTENTIALLY FAULTY? CAN YOU HELP? MANY THANKS, *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STRUCTURE, EQUIPMENT
NOT A COMPLAINT. INFORMATION ONLY. MY 1999 HONDA CRV IS A GREAT CAR WITH ONLY MINIMAL NORMAL REPAIRS. DURING A PANIC STOP IN A 45 MPH SPEED ZONE I BROKE A BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND WAS WITHIN MILLIMETERS OF CREAMING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO A MECHANIC IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LINE HAD BEEN RUBBING ON THE FRAME AND BECAME WEAKENED AND HAD BROKEN UNDER THE EXTRA PRESSURE. WARNING: HAVE YOUR MECHANIC CHECK YOUR BRAKE LINES TO INSURE THEY ARE NOT RUBBING ON SOMETHING THAT WILL WEAKEN THEM AND CAUSE THEM TO FAIL WHEN YOU REALLY, REALLY NEED THEM. SIGNED: HAPPY HONDA OWNER. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CR-V WITH APPROXIMATELY 120K MILES ON IT. THE #4 CYLINDER HAS LOW COMPRESSION DUE TO A BURNED EXHAUST VALVE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL FAILS TO STATE THAT THE VALVES NEED TO BE CHECKED EVERY 15K MILES (HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE MISPRINT BUT FAILS TO ASSIST IN REPAIR COSTS). THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY LOW AND STALLS OCCASIONALLY, PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
1999 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE EXHIBITING BEHAVIOR OUTLINED IN RECALL BULLETIN 02-231, STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED IT APPEARED THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN 2002, BUT, THERE WERE SEVERAL QUESTIONS INVOLVED. HE STATED THE REPAIR ORDER DID NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE BEEN STARTED, BUT THE PARTS MAY HAVE BEEN ON HOLD. SECOND, THE SERVICE BULLETIN CALLED IN STEP 9 FOR A CENTER PUNCH COMPLETION MARK ABOVE THE EIGHTH CHARACTER OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENTS VIN. NO SUCH MARK EXISTED ON HIS VEHICLE. THIRD, OTHER SERVICE WORK WAS DONE ON THE SAME DAY AS THE RECALL, AND WOULD APPEAR TO LEAVE TOO LITTLE TIME TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK THE SAME DAY. AND IF THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS THE SAME DEFECT. *JB THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT APPEARED THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH HAD ALSO FAILED AS THE ORIGINAL RECALL PROBLEM, WHICH WAS DUE TO BURNT CONTACTS IN THE SWITCH FROM ARCING. UPDATED 04/29/10.*JB

THE TIRE THAT BLEW HAD NEVER BEEN USED. IT HAD BEEN MY SPARE AND HAD BEEN ON CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 WEEKS WHEN IT BLEW UP. ON LINE, I SEE THAT SAME TIRE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF BLOW OUTS. PROBABLY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE PURCHASED A 1998 HONDA CIVIC IN MARCH 1998. WHILE IT WAS IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD, THE AC UNIT WENT OUT WHICH WAS COVERED. MY HUSBAND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING CAUSED A METAL PART IN THE COMPRESSOR TO BREAK, CAUSING METAL FRAGMENTS TO CONTAMINATE THE AC SYSTEM. THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2-3 YEARS OLD AND THE TIME AND THE DEALER REPAIRED IT AT NO COST TO US. WE HAVE SINCE SOLD THIS VEHICLE. IN JULY OF 1999 WE PURCHASED A HONDA CR-V (EX) WHICH WE STILL OWN. WE ALSO PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ($75K COVERAGE) ON THIS VEHICLE. IN AUGUST OF 2003 (WITHIN 200 MILES OF WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED) AT 77K MILES, THE A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO COVERAGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL A/C REPAIR SHOPS AND MOST OF THEM QUOTED $1200-$1400. WE HAD THE AC REPAIRED BY A REPUTABLE AC REPAIR SHOP AT THE COST OF $1200. WE HAVE KEPT UP ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE AND INTENDED ON KEEPING IT FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS OR SO. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE COMPRESSOR MADE A TERRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE, AND SOMETHING APPEARED TO BREAK OFF. WE BROUGHT IT IN AND SURE ENOUGH, THE COMPRESSOR HAD GONE OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS TIME, THAT IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING (ROAD DEBRIS) CAUSES THIS PROBLEM AND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. WE ARE BEING QUOTED ANOTHER $1400-$1500 TO FIX THE A/C. WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD. MY HUSBAND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THIS TIME A TOYOTA) BECAUSE HE DRIVES 30 MILES ONE WAY AND THEN HAS TO DRIVE AROUND TO CUSTOMERS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE FOR MANY YEARS ABOUT A DEFECT IN THE AC SYSTEMS OR A DEFECT IN THE WAY THE AC SYSTEMS AND HAVE ACTED IN BAD FAITH BY NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
