2012 Cr-v was purchased on 4/9/16 with 36,000 miles. During the first winter a startup problem became obvious that was covered and repaired by Honda due to a recall for the faulty variable timing actuator. Vta was replaced on 3/2/17 with 41,000 miles (5000 miles later). During the winter of 2019 symptoms started to sporadically reappear. The same part is failing. A newer upgraded part was supposed to replace the original faulty part the first time. I am now told that Honda will charge me $1000 to replace this part again. Due to covid the car was barely driven and repair was secondary to other life circumstances. It has become noticeable once again this winter. . The same part should not be failing if it were remedied the first time. Am I to understand that I will have to replace this part every two years on my own dime because Honda is replacing the same faulty part? I would like Honda to replace the faulty part with one that is not guaranteed to fail again. Thank you.
Prior to accident, vehicle had no issues and was serviced routinely. There were 2 individuals in the car and accident took place on a two lane state road approximately 2 miles from residence. The weather was hot and sunny on the mid-afternoon of the accident. Driver noticed sputtering in the car and decided to u-turn to return to residence. As driver continued, sputtering worsened and somebody drove alongside and yelled that the vehicle appeared to be leaking gas. Very soon after, while car was driving at 5mph, the car had an explosion and flames came through the passenger window. Both driver and passenger were burned and medevac'd to local burn center. Passenger received severe 2nd and 3rd degree burns on upper half of body. Driver also received burns but not as severe. Each managed to exit vehicle before the being engulfed by flames. Vehicle is completely unrepairable and destroyed. Fire marshal report as further details on possible origins of the car fire.
Whenever I stop at a stop sign or light, upon re-starting (only if there is an incline in the street) the motor almost stops. I must pump the gas peddle, it seems, to cause fuel to enter. Then the car takes off too fast in the traffic. The mechanics at the dealer where I purchased the car cannot find (or experience) the problem. But there is definitely a malfunction--dangerous as well.
When making a hard left turn, there is a pause before accelerating.
At different times while driving there is a hesitation when I press on the gas. This is scary when trying to take off in traffic or when turning a corner. I have to press hard on he gas peddle a couple times to get the car to go. I've mentioned this to the dealer every time I take the car in for service but they can't find what is wrong. This happens with and without the eco engaged. . This happens when I'm driving on the road mostly but has happened a couple times on the expressway. It has happened since I purchased to vehicle in 2012 until now (12/08/17).
The listed vehicle above stalls or hesitates intermittently while driving and changing speeds.
