Door locks lock and unlock on their own. Standing outside or looking out of home window I can see and hear them going up and down. Also, the dome light flickers off and on while this is happening. Car was bought from a used car lot, and did not come with a remote key fob. The check-engine light has been reset twice but comes on and has stayed on while driving for 11 months so far. Cannot open back/hatch door with key, must use the latch inside the car. When turning tight left or right, the whole car shakes underneath. Otherwise, no problems.

I own a 1999 Honda Cr-v. The check engine light came on around 102,000 miles. The car began losing power, shaking while idling and chugging loudly during gear shifting. One day the engine just died, right in the middle of the parking lot I was driving through. No warning. I then took it to a mechanic I trust. They first had me replace the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires. It took them two visits to finally realize the valves were burnt and the head now must be replaced. Average cost to replace is $3500 to $4000. I have been researching this and it is a common complaint for 1997 to 2000 plus models. This problem must be stopped before someone is seriously injured.

1999 Honda crv engine dies without warning.

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.

Picked up new car from oklahoma dealer, drove home, one hour later car won't start. Dealer picks up car, fixes brings back to us, said it was something to do with fuse panel. Several years later driving down busy florida interstate, car just dies, after approx. 10 minutes car finally starts. Two months later same thing happens on same interstate, car towed to local dealer. Told it was a short caused by after market sunroof, not wise to claim repair through warranty, cost over 500. 00 dollars to fix. Present day, once again car has started dying and takes some time before it will restart. Contacted local dealer, they say VIN not on recall list. No punch mark on engine compartment VIN.
