I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CRV WITH 18,000 MLS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I MIGHT ADD. HERE IS THE KICKER I HAD TO PAY FOR RESURFACING ROTORS AND SANDING DOWN PADS FOR $ 152 , BLAMING ME THAT THE BRAKES HAVE OVERHEATED AND THAT IS WHY IT NEEDED THE WORK. MY QUESTION IS HOW? THE COMPANY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER OR PROOF ME OF THAT SITUATION , I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE CASE! I TOLD THEM THAT ROTORS HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME I REALIZED IT, I FELT THIS PROBLEM ONLY WHEN I WAS GOING ON A DOWNGRADE GOING AT 80 MPH . IN THE CITY CAN NOT BE VERIFIED NO SYMPTOM OCCUR WHAT'S SO EVER. I FEEL THIS ROTORS ARE TO SMALL OR THE QUALITY ARE OF POOR QUALITY! I ALSO FOUND ON EDMOUNDS.COM A REVIEW, LITERALLY POINTING OUT THE BRAKES NOT AT OF HIGH STANDARDS! I'M SHOCKED THAT THIS ITEM HASN'T COME OUT FORWARD , ESPECIALLY ON SUCH A CRITICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE , ITS BRAKES! THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM SCOTT ROBINSON IN TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA . PLEASE HAVE THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED AND GET MY BRAKES FIXED THE RIGHT WAY! *TR

MY 19 YR. OLD DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 10-4-10 IN WHICH THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF HER 2008 HONDA CR-V EX-L APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN HIT "HEAD ON". HOWEVER, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN GOING NORTH AND A SOUTH BOUND DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT, SWERVED, AND TOOK OUT THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF HER CAR, SPUN HER AROUND AND THEN HIT ANOTHER ONE. I'M WRITING BECAUSE THE ONLY AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WERE THE PASSENGER WINDOW BAGS (FRONT AND REAR) AND THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG. THE "SENSORS" SHOULD HAVE SIGNALED THE "DRIVER SIDE" BAGS TO DEPLOY. SHE SUFFERED A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND WE CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT PART(S) OF THE VEHICLE HER HEAD STRUCK. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO "BREAK" THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM (IT WILL NOT RETREAT BACK). THE DRIVER SIDE APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN THE HARDEST HIT FROM THE IMPACT. THUS, IT'S EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING TO ME THAT THE "DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS" DID NOT DEPLOY. I'VE MADE THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY. NO ONE SEEMS TO THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL. SORRY! I THINK IT'S A HUGE DEAL! I RESEARCHED THE SAFETY STANDARDS OF THIS VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY BEFORE PURCHASING IT FOR HER AND SAFETY WAS THE #1 REASON I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR AUTOMOBILE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? *TR
