I owned a 2003 honda cr-v that was purchased from the local honda dealer(honda windward) october 2003. on the 11th of this month of january 2004, while operating the vehicle, the car suffered a fire that totaled out the car. i managed to get out in time, suffering only a twisted knee.
Auto-reverse mechanism works intermittently on the driver side power window. it has power up feature (which i think is a bad idea all-around). it is supposed to auto-reverse if it meets resistance on the way up. in many cases, it does not work and with considerable force applied against the window, it wants to keep pushing up very strongly. this would kill a kid or pet if they got caught in there. wanted dealer to turn it off, but they said it could not be done. i will go back to have them replace unit, as it is dangerous. i am sure they will take care of it, but i want to file a complaint to ensure that honda is aware of the situation and considers offering a recall to avoid causing injury or death.*jb

I just recieved my first oil change at shockley honda in frederick maryland on my honda crv. after driving for about 2 miles my car started to smoke out the back. when i stopped the vehicle, flames shout the hood of my vehicle. the engine compartment was on fire. i called the fire department. the dealer did replace some of the burnt parts in the engine compartment but did not replace the wiring harness. had to buy a new crv because of this damage. i had substantial expenses not remimbursed by honda. *ak
