Honda Cr-v Service Brakes, Hydraulic Foundation Components Disc Caliper Safety Report | June 06, 2006
Reported on June 06, 2006
| I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED HONDA VEHICLE, A 2002 HONDA CRV IN JUNE 2005. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES, BOTH FRONT & REAR PASSED PENNSYLVANIA INSPECTION BUT DID NOT PASS HONDA'S CERTIFIED INSPECTION SO THEY WERE REPLACED TO MAKE THE VEHICLE A CERTIFIED HONDA . (THEY WERE REPLACED ON 6/1/05) I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR, TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION ON 6/12/06 TO FIND OUT THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE DOWN TO A 1/B OR FAR BELOW PASSING - COMPLETELY GONE! I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE UNDER 7000 IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I CALLED THE ORIGINAL (AND ONLY OTHER OWNER) OF THE VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 1 YEAR OLD. HE WAS TOLD THAT HONDA KNEW THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE DESIGN THAT CAUSES THE REAR BRAKES TO WEAR EXTREMELY FAST IN THE 2002 & 2003 CRVS, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN STATES BECAUSE OF OUR WINTERS. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES NEED TO BE GREASED TO HELP PREVENT THIS- SOMETHING I WAS NOT TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MGR AT THE HONDA DEALER ABOUT THIS, HE SAID THEY SUGGEST IT BE DONE EVERY 7500 MILES. I HAVE NOT EVEN DRIVEN 7000 MILES ON THE CAR. IF HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKES, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL?? ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE BRAKES TO FAIL AND KILL SOMEONE BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING?? *JB | |
