| There is two problems with my 2003 honda cr-v. when car has sat overnight or when the air conditioner was on full and the car was off when we went to start the car it sounded like the main starter had been corroded not allowing the car to start it's not the battery nor the alternator and whats keeping the starter from starting the car only has 92,000 miles. the bigger safety issue is that the tilt steering is not locking allowing it to stay loose while driving, this is a big issue when in motion and cannot find a solution. my two requests are why is the starter going bad so early and why wont the tilt lock into place? | |||

| Steering wheel locking mechanism is defective and drops unexpectedtly in my 03 honda crv. reported this problem to honda corp and i am awaiting to see if it will be covered by them. when i called the dealer back i was told this was not the first time he had seen this problem. i feel this safety concern is not being addressed by honda corp promptly and i am not allowing my wife and small child to drive the vehicle. the repair will cost a thousand dollars to fix, my expense i was told. when this problem with the tilt wheel locking system fails - this is a accident waiting to happen - especially at high speeds in a suv. | |||
