| Vehicle fire regarding 2003 honda crv. *mr there was overheating of the electrical components that caused the fire. the consumers wife was locked in the burning vehicle. the locks remained activated and would not open from the inside or the outside, even though the ignition was off. the entire vehicle had become filled with heavy black smoke along with the instrument panel warning lights flashing. the consumer was informed that the damage found was consistent with a high resistance condition occurring in the crankshaft sensor oil control solenoid circuit wiring resulting in electrical overheating, resulting in a fire. minor heat and fire damage was sustained to the right front area of the engine starting near the crankshaft pulley extending upwards towards the valve cover area. upon examination of the fuse/relay center located in the passenger compartment revealed a 15 amp fuse protecting the ecu circuit was blown consistent with a component and or electrical failure within this circuit. *sc according to the technical report, the fire began in the engine compartment and was considered an accident not a manufacturer defect.*jb | |||

| Auto-reverse mechanism works intermittently on the driver side power window. it has power up feature (which i think is a bad idea all-around). it is supposed to auto-reverse if it meets resistance on the way up. in many cases, it does not work and with considerable force applied against the window, it wants to keep pushing up very strongly. this would kill a kid or pet if they got caught in there. wanted dealer to turn it off, but they said it could not be done. i will go back to have them replace unit, as it is dangerous. i am sure they will take care of it, but i want to file a complaint to ensure that honda is aware of the situation and considers offering a recall to avoid causing injury or death.*jb | |||
