Honda Cr-v Engine Safety Report | Sept 07, 2013
Reported on Sept 07, 2013
| 2002 HONDA CRV: I WAS MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP LIGHT, INTO THE FREEWAY ON RAMP, AND I HEARD A LOUD GEAR DRAGGING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE CAR AND IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER JUST AS I WAS ASCENDING ON TO THE ON RAMP, HOWEVER THE ENGINE STALLED AND SMOKE WAS VISIBLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR ON NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. IT WAS NERVE RACKING WITH MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. I NOTICED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I INSPECTED ALL THE FLUID LEVELS AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS FROM AN AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED THE ACCESSORY BELT TO DRAG AND STALL THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT AC WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. *TR | |
