1998 Honda CR-V

SEE THIS LINK FOR FULL DETAIL: HTTP://WWW.VISUALIMPRESSIONS.CA/SWITCH/ MY CAR CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING ON THE FREEWAY--REPEATEDLY. AFTER MUCH FALSE REPAIR AND FRUSTRATION, I FOUND ABOVE LINK DESCRIBING FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THAT HONDA APPARENTLY KNOWS ABOUT BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT. I CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID NO RECALL.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1998 HONDA CR-V. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY HONDA THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS NOT CONTACTED REGARDING THE RECALL. I JUST HAPPENED TO SEE THAT THERE IS ONE THAT EXPIRES ON NOVEMBER 1, 2015. I AM ASKING THAT I BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURERS FAILED TO NOTIFY ME.

I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAIN DUE TO I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR ONTO THE DEALERSHIP AUG 7, 2014 DUE TO MY CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I JUST REPLACE THE BATTERY 07/26/2013 I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR ONTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THEY KEEP IT OVERNIGHT AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP AFTER 5 DAYS IT WILL STALL AGAIN, I AM TRYING TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER IN DIAMOND HONDA GLENDALE AND THEY SAID MANAGER IS ON VACATION. I CALLED CORPORATE OVER HONDA IN TORRANCE CA. ACCORDING TO THE CASE MANAGER WHO WILL HANDLING MY CASE THEY WILL DO FURTHER INVESTIGATION. IN MY EXPERIENCE I HAVE NEVER BEEN NEGLECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECK ON THE SYSTEM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. BUT I KEEP TELLING THEM TO CHECK IT CAREFULLY WHAT IF SOMETHING I GOT INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT. WOULD I JUST BE A PART OF NHTSA STATISTICS WHEN FATALITY RESULTS. MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND MY IMPRESSION I HAVE THE CAR MAYBE IT IS THE CAR ITSELF. IT WILL NOT SHOW YET IN THE SYSTEM, BECAUSE I AM NOT YET FILLING A FORMAL COMPLAIN. I AM ADDRESSING YOU THIS ISSUES DUE TO PREVENT FURTHER ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. I CANT BATTLE THIS DEALERSHIP BY MYSELF I JUST NEED YOU HELPED AND LETTING THEM KNOW OR HONDA CORPORATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN MY CAR. THANK YOU *TR

I'M SORRY, I DON'T WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT, ONLY TO MAKE A GENERAL PLEA. IT'S CRITICAL TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF CYCLISTS ON OUR ROADS. PLEASE INCLUDE, IN ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE PLANNING EFFORTS, MEASURES FOR BETTER DATA COLLECTING & REPORTING OF ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES, AS WELL AS A ROBUST, MANDATORY EDUCATION PLAN FOR MOTORISTS AND CYCLISTS, AND PLANS FOR IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT BIKE RIDING AND CYCLE COMMUTING NATIONWIDE. THANK YOU! *TR

THIS LETTER IS A FOLLOW-UP TO HONDA REGARDING A LETTER I HAD SUBMITTED ON FEBRUARY 26, 2014. JUNE 10, 2014 I WAS CONTACTED BY A HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING THE LETTER OUTLINED BELOW AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FROM HONDA DESPITE SAFETY CONCERNS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH IGNITION/IGNITERS WITH HONDA CRVS (ESPECIALLY THE 98 CRV WHICH INCLUDED A RECALL IN 2002 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE) AND THAT I CAN GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $200 PLUS LABOR (FOR A KNOWN DEFECT). I HAD THIS WORK DONE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES AS THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WILL RESTART AFTER SITS. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT NOT ONLY DO I DRIVE ON OPEN HIGHWAYS BUT MY DAUGHTER DRIVES AS WELL. IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT EVENTS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES, I WOULD ASK THAT MY SITUATION BE GIVEN ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION. *TR
