1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2015

I am asking your assistance with a problem with my Honda crv. I took my Honda in for the airbag recall on September 1, 2015. Was told it was accomplished and drove home in the evening to discover that my Honda had no oil in it. (the checklist provided by the service technician showed that my oil was fine. ) not only is the abs light back on but my car has now developed a throttle issue. A copy of my September 17, 2015 letter to both the local Honda dealer and their corporate offices follows. At least as much of it as your form allows. I have not had the courtesy of a response from either. September 17, 2015 "Honda corporate offices via fax 310-783-3023 princeton Honda via fax 609-683-1637 I am simply going to present the facts. I do not want any telephone calls. I will accept e-mail correspondence on the matter only. (pua5@comcast. Net) on September 1st of this year, the airbag recalls for my crv were scheduled to be effected. I received a call that my car was ready at 8:30 in the morning. I picked my car up that evening after work. About 7 miles into my 12 mile trip home the engine bucked and I lost power. I was able to limp my way home where I promptly checked the oil and found to my chagrin that I there was no oil in the car. How the oil could have been fine (according to the inspection checklist) at 8 in the morning and then evaporate by 7 pm for my ride home raises many questions. The questions raised range from benign to malicious depending on the level of anxiety I am experiencing as I drive. I have been monitoring my oil consumption carefully and the car is not burning oil egregiously at present. I have never been able to afford the dealer maintenance prices but I have bought my car to over 244,000 miles with what care I could afford to give it. I had hoped for at least 300,000 miles, but I do not know how much other damage may have been caused by this event. ".

2 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2009

Add me to the list of owners who suffered a catastrophic Honda Cr-v air compressor failure. It's a 2002 with 136k miles. It's in beautiful condition, well kept by previous owners. I was driving to work and I heard a tinny grinding sound. I pulled over and lifted the hood. Didn't see anything wrong. Continued driving, but noticed the ac was blowing warm air. I called bankston Honda (the closest dealer to me in coppell, TX), who diagnosed the problem. They told me it would cost $3,100 to repair, but that I should call american Honda and open a case with them, since they may agree to cover some of the cost. Apparently this is a widespread issue, one that Honda appears to be ignoring for the time being (at least until they're hit with a class action lawsuit). With 100 degree weather, a wife and two children, there is no way we can survive with a car that doesn't have ac. We chose a 2002 Honda Cr-v based on incredibly consistent positive feedback (safety, reliability, value retention, etc. ). So far this has been the only issue. Our family can't afford to pay $3,100 to repair the ac. We really need american Honda to step up and at least pay for the parts. American Honda have given me a case number (n012009-05-2601731) and asked that I write them to explain what happened so they can make a determination as to whether they'll cover any of the cost. I hope they at least pay for the necessary parts. If they come through, they'll cement their reputation and I'll continue to recommend Honda to my friends and family. If they can't offer any help, I'll need to join the class action lawsuit to try to recoup some of the cost. This is clearly a wide spread problem, one that Honda will eventually need to own up to. .
