Honda Cr-v Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Safety Report | Jan 26, 2005
Reported on Jan 26, 2005
| THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO POWER HONDA IN VALENCIA CA. IT WAS DETERMINED THE #1 EXHAUSE VALVE RETAINER WAS BROKEN CAUSING THE VALVE TO FALL DOWN AND INTO THE CYLINDER. HONDA SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. HONDA REFUSE ANY REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THE VEHCLIE HAD 74,000 MILES AND NO EXTENDED WARRENTY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. HONDA ENGINES SHOULD NOT FAIL WITHIN 30 MONTHS OWNERSHIP OR 74,000 MILES. *AK | |
