| Honda crv check engine light has come on three times. dealer had done schedule maintainance including changing plugs. dealer has done all schedule maintainance and service manager stated they had adjusted valves at the 60k tune-up. at about 70k took auto to dealer for check engine light. they said lugs misfired, reset code. month later check engine light came on went off next day. dealer said ah, just drive it, if it comes on again bring it in. month later light comes on. now dealer said need a new head because of valve problem quoted $3350 price. told him no way was i paying that, he talked to honda rep and price is dropped to $1400. i am still getting ripped off. this will be the last honda i own.*ak | |||

| After 112,000 miles my 1999 honda cr-v check engine light came on. shortly thereafter the engine was running rough resulting in a burned exhaust valve and $1200 valve job. acording to honda maintenance schedule it is suggested the valve clearances be inspected at 105,000 mi. as this is such a critical item the honda should make the consumer painfully aware of this problem to avoid high cost repairs, especially since it is a very common problem. my research has found many people with the same burnt exhaust valve situation, some ocuuring before the scheduled maintenance required. bottom line - honda should pay for these repairs.*ak | |||

| Honda crv burned vavle. many crv owners of 1998 and 1999 have reported the same problem. honda mechanic had stated that this is a manufacturer defect. the valve was installed too tight causing friction and eventually burned the valve. honda corp. is not claming any responsiblity for this problem anymore. the cut off date that honda would have covered the repair cost was approximately 2 months ago from today 12/9/03 according to the mechanic at the glendale (ca) honda dealership. *la | |||

| With 57k miles and all recommended maintenance, my honda crv had a burnt exhaust valve on the #3 cylinder. in researching this problem, i found several similar complaints all referring to the #3 cylinder and the valve tightness from the factory. if honda realized this may be a problem, could they have not adjusted these valves during regular maintenance? i'm not happy in paying for a repair that honda could have prevented but didn't inform me that might happen. *ph | |||

| Consumer took vehicle to emissions test station, and was told that his failed the emissions test because it was misfiring. consumer stated that emission officials gave him a paper that stated the codes that made his vehicle not pass the test. consumer called the honda dealer, and asked them to give him the meaning of the codes. when they did, and he asked what they meant, he was told that basically they meant that engine was misfiring. consumer noticed that transmission was shifting weirdly, but he did not pay any attention to it. however, warranty expired. *ak | |||
