HONDA CR-V 1999 DOESN'T SHIFT INTO 2 GEAR OR 3RD LIKE IT USE TO. SERPENTINE BELTS GO OUT QUICK. THE A/C ISN'T COOL OR COOL ENOUGH AND IT'S BEEN CHECKED. THE 'D' DRIVE SYMBOL DOESN'T APPEAR ANYMORE LIKE A FUSE BLEW OUT OR SOMETHING. AT TIMES IT'LL APPEAR AS THOUGH MY E BRAKE IS ON WHEN IT'S NOT. WHEN THE A/C IS ON, THE VEHICLE RATTLES AND OR JUMPS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. I BELIEVE IT'S A WIRING ISSUE AS WELL.

APRIL 5, 2003 IT WAS ABOUT 9:00 PM. I HAD JUST PAID MY TOLL ON THE NEW JERSEY SIDE OF THE RIVER. I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE BEN FRANKLIN BRIDGE TOWARDS PHILADELPHIA. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH AND WAS IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE IN ORDER TO TAKE THE EXIT OFF TO THE RIGHT TO GET ONTO SOUTH I-95. THIS EXIT RAMP IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE ON THE PENNSYLVANIA SIDE OF THE DELAWARE RIVER. AS I WAS NEARING THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE, MY 1999 HONDA CRV SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH SUCH HIGH RPMS THAT IT SURGED FORWARD AT AN EXTREMELY RAPID RATE. IT TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN SO FAST THAT NOT EVEN THE BRAKES WOULD OR COULD SLOW IT DOWN. I ACTIVELY APPLIED MY BRAKES BUT TO MY HORROR, MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR. THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING UNCONTROLLABLY. I EVEN PULLED UP ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRIED TO MANEUVER MY CAR AS I WAS TRAVELING AT A RAPID PACE THROUGH THE TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT STOP MY CAR UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER. THIS HORRIFIC ACCIDENT TOTALED MY CAR AND RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF A WOMAN IN ANOTHER CAR. MY INJURIES KEPT ME IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK. A TAXI DRIVER HAD SOME INJURIES. HE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED. THE HONDA CRV WAS TOTALLED AND THE CAR IS BEING KEPT IN STORAGE, PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ON A DUAL HIGHWAY AT APPROX 55 MPH, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR COMING INTO A REDUCED SPEED AREA AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT A FAST PACE AND HIGH SPEED. I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO APPROX 45 MPH AND JAMMED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ROAR. I DID NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF UNTIL ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. I KNEW NO ONE WOULD BELEIVE ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER MAINTENANCE AND SALES PERSONNEL WITTINESSED THE STARTING OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE AGAIN CONTINUING TO ROAR AT AROUNG 8,000 RPMS IMMEDIATELY ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICAN AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO MECHANICAL REASON FOR THIS INCIDENT. THE CAR STOPPED ROARING AS FAST AS IT STARTED. NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH MY CAR, THE DEALER DOES NOT EVEN WANT AS A TRADE IN DUE TO THIER FEAR. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THE MATTER. HONDAS TECHNICAL PERSONNAL STILL HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
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 & remedy
Consequence: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. AN IMPROPERLY ROUTED UNDER DASH WIRE HARNESS COULD BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A BLOWN FUSE. IF THIS OCCURS, OPERATION OF A CRITICAL COMPONENT CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMPS, TAIL LAMPS, THE ANTI-LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES, AND BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF LIGHTING OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN BAD WEATHER, COULD BE HAZARDOUS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 70MM PROTECTIVE, CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBE OVER THE WIRE HARNESS, IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE STOP SWITCH. IF ANY WIRE OR WIRES ARE DAMAGED, THEY WILL BE REPAIRED.
