1999 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CR-V AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT NEW. GEARS DON'T SHIFT RIGHT, WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR, I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AND STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THE MAJOR THING IS THE CLEAR COAT PAINT KEEPS PEELING ALOT OF LITTLE PLACES, 2 AREAS ARE BIG & IT'S GETTING THE ACTUAL PAINT AND RUSTING. I DID PURCHASE (WAS DUMB) THE FINISHING TOUCH SYSTEM THAT GET'S DONE ONCE A YEAR (I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY DO) AND THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM.*AK

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CRV AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN NOT GOING INTO GEAR LIKE IT SHOULD, AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CRV TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT HAVE TO GIVE IT TIME TO CHANGE GEAR. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CRV IT WASN'T DOING THAT SO WHY IS IT DOING IT NOW. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. *AK

WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, DRIVER LEANED FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT FULLY RECLINED WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IMPACTS ABILITY TO CONTROL VEHICLE, AND VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT SEAT IMPACTED THE CHILD SEATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER.*AK

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

THE TIRE BLEW OUT, AND THE TREAD CAME OFF, WHICH LEFT THE CONSUMER TO DRIVE ON THE RIM. CONSUMER DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND THE TIRES ONLY HAD 6000 MILES ON THEM. *TT PH *JB

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, OF MY 1999 HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 86,520 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SHIFTING SLUGGISHLY EVEN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, I JUST DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT WAS NOT NORMAL UNTIL I HAD A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. I HAD THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE MY CR-V REGULARLY. THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS A NOISE WHEN THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED IN HEAVY SNOW IN DECEMBER OF 2000. THE DEALER "REPLACED CVT FLUID PER TRANSMISSION NOISE" ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE. THE CR-V HAD 26,375 MILES AT THAT SERVICE INVOICE DATE. THE FLUIDS WERE CHANGED AGAIN AT 30,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 65,000 MILES AND FLUIDS WERE CHANGED. AT 72,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLUIDS WERE CHANGED AGAIN! FINALLY AT 86,495 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND FLUIDS WERE CHANGED BUT AT 86,520 THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HARDLY SHIFT TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND A USED TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. DOES HONDA STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND OFFER ANY PAYMENT OR EXTENDED WARRANTY? I AM IN SHOCK THAT MY HONDA WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH SO FEW MILES, AFTER ALL THE GREAT REPORTS I READ BEFORE BUYING A HONDA! *NLM

THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT TURNED ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS NOT FRONTAL IMPACT AND/OR IMPACT WHATSOEVER SO THEREFORE I SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE SRS SYSTEM ITSELF BUT NO COOPERATION WAS OFFERED FROM THE DEALER AND/OR HONDA. A PERSONAL FRIEND ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT HE DID NOT REPORT IT AS MAY BE THE CASE WITH MANY INDIVIDUALS. THIS CONCERNS ME AND THEREFORE I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND TIME. *AK

#3 EXHAUST VALVE BURNED AND CHIPPED ON MY 1999 CRV. 98,000 MILES, PERFECT SERVICE HISTORY. UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON EVENT ON THIS MODEL. ENGINE REBUILD REQUIRED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *JB
