2004 HONDA CR-V Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CR-V. WHEN INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY FOB FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

I FIRST HEARD A NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR UNDER THE HOOD, AND LATER I FELT MANY METALLIC PIECES BANGING INSIDE THE CAR AND FALLING OFF, WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. LATER WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANICS, I WAS TOLD THE AIR COMPRESSOR WAS EXPLODED, AND SOME OF THE METALLIC PIECES FROM THE EXPLOSION PARTIALLY CUT MY BELT. THE MECHANICS SAID IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE AIR COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER AND BELT, AND DO A COMPLETE FLUSH OF THE SYSTEM. THE WORST CASE, IF SOME SMALL PIECES RESIDUE INSIDE THE SYSTEM, IT COULD HURT THE ENGINE.

RECALL NOTICE ARRIVED 02/19/2016 FOR A RECALL DATED 06/15/2015. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED ON 07/02/2015 WHEN I SPOKE WITH THEM, OR ON 09/24/2015 OR ON 11/05/2015 WHEN I WAS AT APPLETREE HONDA FOR PREVIOUS RECALLS.

MY AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. AFTER THE LAST AIRBAG WAS REPLACED ON 2/12/2016, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE SRS OPDS UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE ($475). HE SAID THAT THIS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK PROPERLY. MY CONTENTION IS THAT IF THIS UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK, THEN THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER, EXACTLY LIKE THE AIRBAGS HAVE. I CALLED HONDA IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEREFORE MY RESPONSIBILITY. I DISAGREE. PLEASE REVIEW MY CASE AND LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU.

THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE TAKATA RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN JANUARY 2016. SINCE THE CAR ROLLED OVER WHEN SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY TAKING A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY, MAYBE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED BUT NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS WORKED EITHER (SEE PICTURES).
