Honda Car Forum

All:

I just received another the recall for my new 03 CRV EX (I bought it on
August 1st). I just had the recall fix Shift cable two weeks ago, now I have
to make another appointment to the dealer for this. How can't Honda send
both of them the same time? Actually, both these problems were known before
I bought the car (but I did not know it).

Hai,

Don't complain...

There's a hundred thousand Canadians driving around in Dodge Caravans
and Plymouth Voyager vans with DEAD AIR BAGS and nobody's going out of
their way to notify them. They (the owners) think that the rear wiper
is pointing straight up so the 'soccer moms' will have a place to carry
their shopping list.

You're in good hands (mostly) with a Honda. :-)

I see that it's alright for Honda to make mistakes since other auto makers
make mistakes and they all suck. But Honda doesn't suck because they are
Honda and they can do no wrong even when they do wrong. Honda is the best
because Honda mistakes are not as bad as other manufacturers. I guess only
Honda is allowed to have problems with their cars because they are Honda.
Honda is the best.

The Odyssey had automatic side sliding doors that didn't shut right and many
people had to bring their minivans back to the dealership to have the
problem fixed, but since it's a Honda, it's okay. Honda has no real
problems, only other car makers have problems.

I think it is not correct. Honda makes mistakes just like others but less
and they are willing to recall it right away. I had a problem with GM
Oldsmobile Delta 88 before instead of recall the called it "Extended
Warranty" and never let owner know about it. I did not know so I did not
take to dealer for fix since it was not that bad only when it was cold. The
problem was getting worse and the "Extended Warranty" gone, it cost me $500.

I was just remarking to some coworkers that I had two recalls (mine sent at
same time) on my 2002 CRV, however I had no other complaints or problems.
Now as one who had many problems with every other car I've owned, I really
appreciate my CRV at 22000 miles. I do my own oil changes and that is all
I've done. Honda filters and 5-20W Valvoline or Castrol. The filters are
high but I do 4000 on oil changes. Great vehicle for trips, camping out west
(Kids are grown, were in our 50's).

At 22000 miles, you're really due to at least rotate your tires. Especially
with the AWD system.
You should grease the hinges, locks etc. Have a look at the brakes to clean
them up and make sure they wear out even.
It is also a good idea to get the car on a lift and inspect everything,
especially the CV joints booths.

DBollig,

If I had a nice new CRV, at 22,000 I'd change the 'Dual Pump Fluid',
ignoring what the manual says about the (first) interval. Very cheap
insurance from what I've seen an some of the forums.
