2003 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THROTTLE BODY ISSUES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. *JB

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE COMPRESSOR. THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR, FLUSH THE SYSTEM, REPALCE THE DRYER AND THEN CHARGE THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 62500 MILES ON IT AND THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD LAST ALOT LONGER THAN THAT. IT WILL COST $756.24 TO REPAIR THE SYSTEM AND THAT IS IF THESE ARE THE ONLY PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM ASKING FOR THE REIMBURSMENT TO REAPAIR THE AIR CONDITIONER. *TT

SUDDEN ACCELERATION DUE TO GAS PEDAL GETTING "STUCK". ONCE A RED LIGHT TURNED GREEN VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO MOTION FROM COMPLETELY STOPPED POSITION. AFTER A FEW YARDS DRIVER HAD TO BRAKE NOT TO HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF IT, WHICH WAS GOING SLOWER THAN VEHICLE IN QUESTION. INSTEAD OF REDUCING SPEED, DRIVER FACED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT MADE THE VEHICLE CRASH INTO THE TRUCK. EVEN WITH THE IMPACT, THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED AND VEHICLE CRASHED AGAIN INTO THE SAME TRUCK. DRIVER REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REDUCING ITS SPEED BY APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THEREFORE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PARKING AND TURNED OFF. IN AN ATTEMPT TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN THE VEHICLE MADE A VERY LOUD ACCELERATED NOISE BUT DRIVER COULD NOT TAKE VEHICLE FROM PARKING POSITION AND NOTICED BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WERE STIFF. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. HONDA WAS CONTACTED AND REQUESTED TO GO SEE THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT IS TAKEN APART (IN ORDER TO FIND EVIDENCE), BUT ITS REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE ONLY THING THEY CAN DO IS TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE TO TRY TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM ONCE THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND SAFE TO BE DRIVEN AGAIN. BASICALLY, HONDA DOESN'T SHOW INTEREST IN INVESTIGATING FURTHER AND WILL WASH ITS HANDS IF PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPRODUCED, WHICH WILL LIKELY BE THE CASE, OR ELSE THE VEHICLE WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE REPAIR CENTER WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS AND TAKEN FOR SUCH "TEST DRIVE". SADLY, HONDA JUST LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR

WHILST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OUT OF NOWHERE THE HOOD FLIPPED UP OVER THE WINDSHIELD AND BLOCKED ALL VIEW. I ALMOST GOT INTO A HUGE ACCIDENT AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THE LEFT LANE. THE HOOD IS UNFIXABLE, THE ROOF IS DAMAGED WHERE THE HOOD IMPACTED AND THE ELECTRIC ON THE INSIDE SECTION OF THE ROOF NO LONGER WORK. THE HOOD HAD NOT BEEN OPENED FOR A WHILE AND WAS CLOSED CORRECTLY. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MODEL. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE AND IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $2000 IN REPAIRS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL WHEN HONDA HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM IN NEWER MODELS? THANK YOU *TR
