| Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 honda crv that i bought brand new have been occurring since august of 2002. the car was bought in july of 2002. the odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in august. the fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. went out within 3-4 months. then major items which had to be replaced: differential, 2004(though still under warranty, honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007, driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, o2 sensor, 2009, driver's seat unstable since 2003, srs slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside. finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, i was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair. *tr | |||

| My daughter was driving my 2002 honda crv ex and lost control and rolled the car. it ended up lying on the drivers side and hit a guard rail which finally stopped it from sliding on it side along the freeway. the insurance company was sure that they will total the car. the ex model not only had front air bags but also side air bags. not a one of these went off. the drivers side of the car was very smashed and the drivers side window was broken out along with the windshield. her arm had glass clear down to the bone along with a 7 inch cut that is stitched in 3 levels. for as much trauma as the car took i feel it held together pretty good (top did not crush in except a little in the back ) and that she is lucky to be alive. i feel that at least though the front airbags and drivers side one should have gone off. airbags are not like a smoke detector that you can test, you rely on that they will work when you need them. *tr | |||

| The srs light came on so i contacted the dealer. they replaced the sensor. i haven't had anymore problems with it, but it was only 4 days ago. i have been reading other problems with the srs light and i am concerned that this is gonna be an ongoing problem. i am worried that the air bags won't deploy if i am in an accident. as for the brakes. i keep hearing a popping noise every time i back out of a parking space or the driveway. i have not contacted the dealer, but after reading other complaints, i am going to do this. i have always been a dedicated honda lover and i am disappointed to hear about all that is wrong with the vehicle i have purchased with my hard earned money. dt | |||

| While traveling on the highway, the right front tire blewout, causing the driver to lose control of her vehicle. the vehicle went into the median and became airborne (rolling over several times) about 4-5 more times on the ground, hit a semi-truck traveling on the opposite side of the road, finally coming to a rest. also, with the force of the impact on the sides of the vehicle, particularly the driver side, it would seem to be strong enough to activate the side airbags, yet the saftey feature did not perform, bridgestone dueler h/t. *scc | |||

| I was driving on the hutchinson river parkway in new york at moderate speed, everything was fine, and suddenly and completely lost steering. every ounce of my being was directed at trying to steer, to no avail. the car was like a bad carnival ride conducted by demons. i smashed into the guard rail on the right side of the highway, caromed off it, veered to the left and smashed into the concrete median jersey barrier on the left. i was absolutely certain i was about to die. thanks to the barrier and my seatbelt and airbags (i have side-impact airbags which did not deploy, only the front ones did - there was no passenger in my car), i did not go into oncoming traffic as i believed i was about to, walked away from my car and am sitting here writing to you now, quite banged up and bruised and with a fractured vertebra but miraculously alive. miraculously also, no other cars were involved. *** something failed in my car to cause this and i want to know what. there was either a tire or mechanical failure of some kind. (the tires still had decent tread on them.) my insurance company says the car and tires are so damaged from the impact that they can't tell what caused it and they show no interest in pursuing it. (it does not appear to have been a blowout.) i'm sure someone who knew how could investigate the car and find out what failed. it seems to me it should be of interest to honda and everyone else what went wrong here. i have notified american honda about the accident and was assigned a case number, but they have not gotten back to me. (p.s. the car has cruise control but i was not using it.) *la | |||
