GOOD MORNING: WE DON'T HAVE AN INCIDENT TO REPORT, HOWEVER, I'M WRITING TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF AN AIRBAG DEFECT IN OUR HONDA. I'VE CONTACTED (BY PHONE) HONDA AMERICA AND OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER WITH A PROMISE OF A RETURN CALL, BUT NONE YET. YOUR WEBSITE MENTIONED THAT THE VIN# SEARCH FOR RECALLS COVERS THE LAST 14 YEARS. WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE A VEHICLE OLDER THAN THAT? OUR CRV WAS PURCHASED OVER 15 YEARS AGO AND I'M ASSUMING IT HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ON HOW SAFE IT IS? IF NEED BE, I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BAGS BUT I NEED TO KNOW FIRST IF THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED POTENTIALLY FAULTY? CAN YOU HELP? MANY THANKS, *TR

MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED SOMEONE AND HER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE HOOD COULD NOT EVEN BE CLOSED. SHE WAS NOT HURT AND WE LET IT GO..BUT NOW I WONDER IF THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SAFETY. WE STILL OWN THE CAR AND IT HAS IT'S ORIGINAL DAMAGE. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS OR HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED? *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AS I WAS GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

PICKED UP NEW CAR FROM OKLAHOMA DEALER, DROVE HOME, ONE HOUR LATER CAR WON'T START. DEALER PICKS UP CAR, FIXES BRINGS BACK TO US, SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUSE PANEL. SEVERAL YEARS LATER DRIVING DOWN BUSY FLORIDA INTERSTATE, CAR JUST DIES, AFTER APPROX. 10 MINUTES CAR FINALLY STARTS. TWO MONTHS LATER SAME THING HAPPENS ON SAME INTERSTATE, CAR TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER. TOLD IT WAS A SHORT CAUSED BY AFTER MARKET SUNROOF, NOT WISE TO CLAIM REPAIR THROUGH WARRANTY, COST OVER 500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. PRESENT DAY, ONCE AGAIN CAR HAS STARTED DYING AND TAKES SOME TIME BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER, THEY SAY VIN NOT ON RECALL LIST. NO PUNCH MARK ON ENGINE COMPARTMENT VIN. *TR

NOT A COMPLAINT. INFORMATION ONLY. MY 1999 HONDA CRV IS A GREAT CAR WITH ONLY MINIMAL NORMAL REPAIRS. DURING A PANIC STOP IN A 45 MPH SPEED ZONE I BROKE A BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND WAS WITHIN MILLIMETERS OF CREAMING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO A MECHANIC IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LINE HAD BEEN RUBBING ON THE FRAME AND BECAME WEAKENED AND HAD BROKEN UNDER THE EXTRA PRESSURE. WARNING: HAVE YOUR MECHANIC CHECK YOUR BRAKE LINES TO INSURE THEY ARE NOT RUBBING ON SOMETHING THAT WILL WEAKEN THEM AND CAUSE THEM TO FAIL WHEN YOU REALLY, REALLY NEED THEM. SIGNED: HAPPY HONDA OWNER. *TR

1999 HONDA CRV; STOPPED AT A SIGNAL; AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS STARTED GOING UP/DOWN REPEATEDLY; THEN ENGINE JUST DIED; I PUT CAR IN GEAR AND STARTED THE CAR; MECHANIC DETERMINED THE IGNITION WAS FAULTY; THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME IT HAPPENED; LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CR-V WITH APPROXIMATELY 120K MILES ON IT. THE #4 CYLINDER HAS LOW COMPRESSION DUE TO A BURNED EXHAUST VALVE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL FAILS TO STATE THAT THE VALVES NEED TO BE CHECKED EVERY 15K MILES (HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE MISPRINT BUT FAILS TO ASSIST IN REPAIR COSTS). THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY LOW AND STALLS OCCASIONALLY, PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. *TR
