 At 72,000 miles my crv blew 2 head gaskets thus requiring an engine overhaul. the dealer informed me that they have been getting a few vehicles with the same problem. however, problems are not under warranty. *ak at 144,000 miles it required a catalyctic converter because it clogged.. however, i was noticing a weird sound under the car at 130,000. and before that it did not feel as powerful when going up inclines. my mechanic said that they are getting a lot of vehicles of the same model with the catalictic converter problem and as a matter of fact he had one crv this past week in which he had to change the converter. unfortunately, where i reside emmisions inspection is not required. maybe, if we did, the problem with the catalyctic converter would had been noticed if it had failed the emmissions test. please help!

 My wife purchased a 2001 honda crv. on august 2, 2003 while driving the car with our family (wife and 2 small children) front passenger tire went flat. i used the jack with the car to change the tire. i first loosened the lug nuts on the ground. i raised the car with the jack. while taking off the tire - the jack collapsed causing the car to fall. this was dangerous and thank god nobody got hurt! the jack was damaged (it is tilted to one side). when i raised the car it was on asphalt and flat ground. i contacted honda usa directly per my dealer's instructions. i am worried that this jack was designed poorly and/or was defective. honda replied that they would not do anything. their response was that i should just buy another jack from them. this is a very dangerous issue. i am very troubled by their lack of concern. they would not even issue me a new jack under the warranty as the car had 42,000 (6k miles over the warranty). i find this troubling too, how would i know the jack was defective until i used it. this was the first time i used it. i am very disappointed and concerned about honda's lack of care and responsibility.*jb
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

 Consumer was driving in the city, there was a loud pop that came from the driver's side floor board near the gas and brake pedals. the driver immediately saw flames coming from under the hood and pulled over. another driver traveling behind told the consumer there was a trail of gas leaking under the vehicle prior to stopping. the vehicle was totaled.*ak consumer smelled gas before fire ignited. a passerby put most of the fire out before the fire dept. arrived. *ph *jb
OTHER
06/11/20031
 I was wondering if it was mandatory for cars to indicate whether or not all doors are closed on their dashboards. on the honda 2001 crv it is impossible to tell is a door is securely shut because there is no indicator. this i believe is a safety hazard and i would like it to be investigated or even recalled. *jb
POWER TRAIN - CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
05/01/2001
 My problem is that when you prepare to come to a stop, press the clutch and brake, the car will die. no warning at all. the rpm's will just dive to 0 and it dies. when it first began, i kept a detail log of weather, length of trip, everything i could think of and each time it died, it blew another idea out of the water. nothing seemed to coordinate from time to time. i have had it in about 4 times total into two different honda dealers and niether of them have been able to duplicate the stall. therefore, they can't find nor fix the problem.*ak
03/09/2001302/01/2001
 The back tire locked up in a curve and caused a head on collision. i feel this problem came from a clutch failure. what further supports my theory is the fact that the clutch assembly fell apart and the timing chain was broken. the back tire had temporarily halted as i made it through the clutches on 2 occasions prior to my crash.

STEERING - WHEEL AND HANDLE BAR
105/06/2001
 In owner's manual it states to adjust the steering wheel so that the wheel points toward the chest and not toward the face due to protection from the airbag, however consumer is 5 feet 6 inches tall and would have to be 3-4 inches taller in order to have the steering wheel point toward his chest, a rep from american honda suggested to have the dealer to modify the seat, but this would void the warranty. *slc

 I have owned a 2001 crv honda 4wd or real time for less than one year this is the first full winter in rural northern michigan with this automobile and let me add this winter was mild compared to most. i have had two rollovers with this automobile within the last 8weeks the first in december and the second in feb 02 at first i did except the rollover with road conditions and all but after the second i cannot, i have learned now that this so called suv is sold and was sold to me as a 4wd all time but it is infact not. i have learned also why i would just loose control it is a automatic spin and roll and you have no control this is because the real time 4wd is not 4wd the four wheel drive kicks in when sensors detect that the front wheels are spinning,losing traction, then the crv revert to front wheel drive the more the front wheels slip, the more the rear wheels kick in which causes you to spin out of control, this has happend on black ice twice no speeding tickets and no at fault tickets for the driver if that tells you anything. i am 32 and have to had a accident in 13years my insurance has doubled, this has caused injuries and it is hard to bring myself to drive without crying. i am so scared they are going to fix and give me this car back i cannot put myself or my children it this death trap. this suv is not fit for a rural areas or any kind of driving other than on dry warm pavement only.*ak
