| We had a 2006 honda crv. in a 2 week period we experienced 2 rear wheel blow outs. the first occurred on a city road after driving on the toll way. it was a sidewall blowout. the second occurred about 2 weeks later while driving on the toll way. my wife was driving when she experienced a left rear tire blow out. it caused the vehicle to spin out of control, hit a semi, and roll over several times. my wife suffered serious injuries and is still unable to be out of bed for more than a short time. the car was a total loss. as of this time, no results are in as to the cause of the sidewall blowouts. *jb | |||

| 2006 honda cr-v exterior spare tire carrier safety problem. my vehicle recently required the spare tire be removed from the vehicle to replace a road hazard damaged tire. on removing the spare tire cover, it was noticed that only two of the three tire lugs that support the tire were in place. the vehicle came with three tire lugs for the spare, as this was noticed when a different spare tire cover was installed within the first month of vehicle ownership. the damaged tire was replaced with a new tire and the serviceman went to place this new tire on the exterior spare tire carrier. he sheared off one more of the lugs and stated that he had not applied excessive force to have this happen. he also mentioned that this was the second lug now missing and that the spare tire should not be placed on the exterior spare tire carrier with only a single lug to carry the weight of the spare tire. the spare tire was placed in the interior rear storage area. i was given the sheared off lug, which i still have in my possession, should it be required to determine if structural failure was the result by examination of a metallurgist. contacting the dealer where the vehicle was purchased (honda of bowie, md), the dealership would not correct the problem, at no cost to me, as a latent defect, as they stated it was beyond the normal warranty period. they questioned whether the vehicle had been serviced according to the service manual. i responded that the spare tire carrier lugs are not a serviceable item (except to tighten the lugs to retain the tire) and that the lugs should last the life of the vehicle. i was referred to the next honda level of appeal, where i am still awaiting a resolution. i feel this is a safety problem in that the spare tire can possibly fall off the vehicle if the spare tire lugs fail, and would like to have this documented for other cr-v owners to help with similar problems. *tr | |||

| Today i had a 4th valve stem failure that has occurred on my 2006 honda crv that i purchased used on august 3, 2007. the 1st valve stem failure occurred on august 3, 2007 on the rear right tire. the 2nd valve stem failure occurred on october 10,2007 on the front right tire. the 3rd valve stem failure occurred on february 6, 2008 on the right rear tire again. the 4th valve stem failure occurred on june 18, 2008 on the left front tire. i found out today through an internet search that there has been a recall of some valve stems sure to failure. i do not know the odds of one car having four valve stem failures in less than one year, but i cam guess that this is highly unusual. *tr | |||
