The contact owns a 2004 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that a sensor for the catalytic converter also illuminated.

On February 20, while driving on the new york state thruway our car shimmied and then the engine light came on. Simultaneously, my wife heard a sound coming from the engine. We quickly pulled onto the exit (just south of buffalo) into an automobile repair shop that was right off the exit ramp. When we pulled into the repair shop, the car stalled. A quick diagnosis by the repair shop concluded that the issue was not repairable that day as the shop was closing in 15 minutes. On Monday, the repair shop reported that the spark plug in cylinder 2 had blown out. To attempt a fix, they inserted a heli-coil and plug but were still unable to get the pressure above 40 p. S. I on the cylinder. A deeper diagnosis indicated scouring/scarring on the cylinder 2 bore as well as the cylinder head caused by the spark plug debris. I was told the only cost effective fix for this was to get a replacement engine. To get another opinion, I contacted a local Honda dealer in the buffalo area (ray laks) and they confirmed over the phone that scarring on the cylinder sleeve would require a replacement engine. The plugs that were on the car were the oem factory installed. I had planned on replacing these at 110,000 miles per the Honda maintenance schedule. My car had 105,713 miles when the failure occurred. I am the original and only owner of this automobile. The fix was to replace the entire engine. The failure of this oem component at highway speeds could have resulted in serious injury or death.
Check engine light came on. Brought the car to the dealer. Was told the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced (sensor #1) at a cost of $498.
On may 29, 2004, I purchased a Honda Cr-v, 2004, vehicle from casey Honda in newport news. It is a four-wheel drive vehicle with automatic transmission. I had the vehicle for only two weeks and I only drove it 109 miles. The odometer right now shows 117 miles. On June 13, I was driving the vehicle in newport news, va when suddenly the engine stopped in the middle of the road, in front of the stop traffic light. There was a burning smell coming out of the hood and the check engine light came on. When I turn on the engine the tachometer show 1000 rpm, then 3000 rpm and then back again to 2000 rpm. Thus the tachometer shows an unstable running engine when the transmission is on the neutral or parking position. I was able to start the engine after a few minutes and get home which was fortunately only a mile away. On June 14, 2004 I contacted the casey Honda dealership and they sent their representative to tow away the vehicle. The odometer showed 117 miles. The same day the dealership serviceman, mr. Kevin, called me and told that the vehicle is not drivable and that they have to keep the vehicle for about a week until the parts will arrive and they will try to fix it. He told me that the causes of the problem are some defective parts that they need to replace.
