Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 honda crv that i bought brand new have been occurring since august of 2002. the car was bought in july of 2002. the odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in august. the fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. went out within 3-4 months. then major items which had to be replaced: differential, 2004(though still under warranty, honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007, driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, o2 sensor, 2009, driver's seat unstable since 2003, srs slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside. finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, i was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair. *tr
In january of 2005 i ecnountered that my gas gauge intermittently does not go to full when i fill up the tank if the gas tank was 1/4 full or less. i brought the car into the honda dealership the first time and they could not find anything. i just got the car back yesterday, 3/23/2005, for the same problem and again nothing was done to fix the problem. my biggest concern is that the gauge will fail in the future with my daughter using this vehicle for college. i do not want her to run out of gas or have an accident on the highway if she runs out of gas due to a defective gas gauge reading problem.*ak
