2001 Honda CR-V

2001 HONDA CRV DOES NOT MEET THE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR PROPERLY INSTALLING MY BOOSTER CAR SEATS AS IT IS MISSING THE LATCH ANCHORING SYSTEM TO PROPERLY HOOK THE BOOSTER SEAT. AFTER TALKING TO THE HONDA DEALER WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE CAR SHOULD HAVE COME WITH IT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO SHOW ME WHERE IT WAS AND SAID THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE LATCH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH A WEBASTO SUNROOF, MODEL SERIES 700, SERIAL NUMBER 506817. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY BLEW OFF. THE GLASS DELAMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SUNROOF BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CR-V. AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE AIR CONDITIONER. HE THEN HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND NOTICED FUMES RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAD RUPTURED TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HALF REMAINED. HE COLLECTED A FEW PIECES FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1,631. THE MANUFACTURER ASSIGNED HIM A CASE NUMBER SO THAT ONE OF THEIR ENGINEERS COULD IDENTIFY THE DEFECT. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS, NO ONE CALLED THE CONTACT BACK. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ASSIGNED HIS CASE TO ANOTHER ENGINEER, IN WHICH NOW THEY DO NOT FEEL IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY BELIEVE THAT THE CONTACT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR RUPTURING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR TEN DAYS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 102,000.

MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA CRV. ON AUGUST 2, 2003 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH OUR FAMILY (WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN) FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT FLAT. I USED THE JACK WITH THE CAR TO CHANGE THE TIRE. I FIRST LOOSENED THE LUG NUTS ON THE GROUND. I RAISED THE CAR WITH THE JACK. WHILE TAKING OFF THE TIRE - THE JACK COLLAPSED CAUSING THE CAR TO FALL. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND THANK GOD NOBODY GOT HURT! THE JACK WAS DAMAGED (IT IS TILTED TO ONE SIDE). WHEN I RAISED THE CAR IT WAS ON ASPHALT AND FLAT GROUND. I CONTACTED HONDA USA DIRECTLY PER MY DEALER'S INSTRUCTIONS. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS JACK WAS DESIGNED POORLY AND/OR WAS DEFECTIVE. HONDA REPLIED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD JUST BUY ANOTHER JACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I AM VERY TROUBLED BY THEIR LACK OF CONCERN. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ISSUE ME A NEW JACK UNDER THE WARRANTY AS THE CAR HAD 42,000 (6K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY). I FIND THIS TROUBLING TOO, HOW WOULD I KNOW THE JACK WAS DEFECTIVE UNTIL I USED IT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED ABOUT HONDA'S LACK OF CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY.*JB
