INVOLVING A 2008 HONDA CRV, NEW; PURCHASED IN TEXAS/REG. IN TEXAS. 8/19/09 DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR THE VSA LIGHT AND SYMBOL CAME ON, I FELT THE BRAKES OR TIRES GRABBING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE; IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAITED, "CAUSE: M99, CODES P0102, P0141 P0340, CLEARED LIGHT AND TEST DROVE. 9/14/09,ONE MONTH LATER THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY; THE TIRES OR BRAKES GRABBED AGAIN RESULTING IN MY HAVING TO PULL OFF TO ALLOW THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO PASS UNTIL IT WAS SAFE TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY SLOWLY. I WENT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING 9/15/09. "CAUSE: F, M99 SEE NOTES 16 W93, 9814 HAD SAME CODES AS BEFORE; PERFORMED AVAILABLE SOFTWARE UPDATE AND TEST DROVE. IF CODES COME BACK AGAIN WILL NEED NEW ECU." THAT EVENING, STARTED THE CAR UP TO GO TO WORK, THE LIGHTS CAME ON, VSA, VSA SYMBOL AND ENGINE LIGHT; I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE ECU. WHEN I CAME OUT FROM WORK AND STARTED THE CAR THE SAME LIGHTS WERE ON PLUS THE BATTERY LIGHT. ON 9/16/09 I WENT TO THE DEALER, "CAUSE: E M99 REPLACED ECU AND TEST DROVE 16 W93, 1 913931 ECU.

2008 HONDA CR-V CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES TWICE EACH TIME AROUND 20K MILES - THE TIRES WERE WORN UNEVENLY EVEN THOUGH I HAD THEM ROTATED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. BROUGHT INTO MILE HIGH HONDA IN DENVER TO CHECK ALIGNMENT, EACH TIME THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG AND IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY 20K MILES. I ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT WHEN DRIVING. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE WHEN THE CAR HAD 9K MILES ON IT.. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND 1/2 AND ISSUE REMAINS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT FOR SOME REASON THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX. THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT. PERIOD. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE BEFORE THEY WILL ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

WHERE TO START. I BOUGHT MY NEW 2008 HONDA CRV IN JANUARY OF 2008. IN FEBRUARY I HAS A LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT AND BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE FOR A TIRE CHECK. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES, BUT THEY PUT AIR IN THEM. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITHOUT FAIL ABOUT 6 TIMES IN ADDITION TO MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS. I HAVE HAD MY SERVICES AT EACH SERVICE INDICATOR AND PERFORMED ALL OF THE INDICATED CODES. TIRE ROTATIONS AT EACH SERVICE BY A HONDA DEALER. AT MY SECOND SERVICE ON 1/30/09, 16,000MILES MY TIRES WERE MARKED AS 6/32 WEAR TREAD REMAINING. AT MY THIRD AND MOST RECENT SERVICE 9/5/09 THE TIRES WERE MARKED AS 4/32 REMAINING, AND I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES AT LESS, THIS IS WITH 26,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED BRIDGSTONE/FIRESTONE REGARDING THE SHORT LIFE OF THE TIRES AND THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT IT IS HONDA THAT IS BUYING POORLY MADE "CHEAP" TIRES AND PUTTING THEM ON THEIR NEW VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANTY THEM FOR MILEAGE. THEN HONDA MAKES OUT LIKE BANDITS FOR SELLING YOU NEW TIRES IN 18,000 TO 32,000 MILES WITH AN ADDED COST FOR MOUNTING AND 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT JUST ABOUT $800.00. THE HONDA SERVICE TECH SEEMED TO GET SOME HUMOR IN TELLING ME THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES AT 26,000 MILES AND WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AS FAR AS PROVIDING ME A PRICE FOR THE SAME EXACT PIECES OF CRAP THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE, PLUS MOUNTING AND BALANCING FEE, PLUS A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT FEE. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT FROM HONDA. I TOO WAS LOOKING FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS GOOD IN THE SNOW WE SEE IN NEW ENGLAND WINTERS AND HAD GOOD GAS MILEAGE. WHAT A SCAM HONDA HAS GOING! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE APRIL 2008 THAT I'VE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE REVVED AT A HIGH IDLE SPEED LIKE I WAS FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR EXCEPT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN WHEN I'M COASTING WITHOUT MY FOOT ON ANY PEDALS AND THE CAR MAY ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE HIGH REVVING STOPPED. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID SOMETIMES THE ACCELERATOR VALVE STICKS AND THEY SPRAYED LUBRICANT ON IT. *TR

I EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE "CUPPING" ON THE REAR TIRES OF MY NEW 2008 HONDA CR-V AWD. THE TIRES BEGAN TO MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A SLIGHT BOUNCING RIDE AT ABOUT 22,000 MILES AND BOTH ISSUES BECAME INTOLERABLE AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES, AND YOU COULD FEEL THE EXTREME CUPPING OF THE TIRES WHEN RUBBING YOUR HAND OVER THE TREAD. I HAD THE DEALER ROTATE THE TIRES WITH EVERY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, AND THE CUPPING PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH THE CONTI 4 X 4 TIRES, AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE WELL BEFORE A REASONABLE LIFE EXPECTANCY. THE HONDA DEALER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY WARRANTY ASSISTANCE OR DISCOUNT, STATING THAT THEY WOULD DO A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT ON THE VEHICLE - AT MY EXPENSE - AND SELL ME 4 NEW TIRES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND ALLEGING THAT THE AWD VEHICLES (FWD'S ARE OK) ARE LEAVING THE FACTORY WITH IMPROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE REAR CAMBER AND IT IS CAUSING THE PREMATURE WEAR OF THE FACTORY TIRES. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NATIONAL TIRE SHOP AND PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES AND HAD THEM PERFORM A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT ON THE VEHICLE....THE COMPUTER READ-OUT THAT THEY PROVIDED ME SHOWED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE ALIGNED IN EXTREME OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE EMPLOYEES AT THE TIRE SHOP ALLEGED THAT THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SEE LOTS OF 2007 AND 2008 HONDA CRV'S IN THEIR SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM FOR WHICH HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. TIRE CUPPING IS NOT ONLY A NUISANCE BECAUSE OF THE RUMBLING NOISE THAT GETS LOUDER AT FREEWAY SPEEDS - IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE FOR BRAKING AND TRACTION BECAUSE OF HOW IT AFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF TREAD SURFACE CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY. IMMEDIATELY UPON LEAVING THE TIRE SHOP, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AND THE VEHICLE RIDE IS QUIET AND GREAT. I COST ME OVER $800 FOR NEW TIRES AND A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. *TR

EXCESSIVE WEARING OF REAR TIRES ON HONDA CRV. "CUPPING" HAS OCCURRED ON REAR TIRES @ 16K MILES. ACCORDING TO DEALER, THIS OCCURS WHEN TIRES AREN'T ROTATED EVERY 3K MILES. I KNOW I REQUESTED AND BELIEVED THE DEALER HAD ROTATED MY TIRES @ 5K INTERVALS, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS OF THIS.????? IF THIS IS THE CASE, WHY AREN'T THE OTHER TWO TIRES "CUPPING"? THEY HAVE 7500 MILES ON THEM SINCE THEY WERE ROTATED TO THE REAR POSITION.THE "CUPPED" TIRES WERE MOVED FRONT TO "ALLEVIATE" THE CONDITION AND ALLOW THEM TO WEAR IN, ACCORDING TO DEALER. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THE CONDITION HAS WORSENED! THEY CLAIM THERE ISN'T ANY DEFECTS ON THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS CONDITION?? I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN CARS FOR 43 YRS. AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION!! I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM IN WHICH HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. WE HAD PURCHASED A USED CRV IN THE PAST, FOR OUR DAUGHTER AND HAVE HAD TO BEG, PLEAD AND BATTLE THEM TO HONOR THEIR "MULTI POINT CHECKS & PRE-CERTIFICATION" CLAIMS AND WARRANTY!

I OWN A 2008 HONDA CRV. RECENTLY I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT A SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I FEEL IT IS HAZARDOUS TO OTHERS AND MYSELF WHILE I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE LOW BEAMS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH THE LOW BEAMS AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND MYSELF. HONDA RECOMMENDED I TAKE MY CRV TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID AND ADJUSTED THEM, HOWEVER I STILL AM NOT ABLE TO SEE WELL AND THE ADJUSTMENT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS ALL THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS IS THE WAY THE HEADLIGHTS ARE MANUFACTURED AND IT IS THE BEST THEY WILL BE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT SINCE I HAVE CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY DEALERSHIP. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO PLAN MY LIFE AROUND NOT DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS SO DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ALSO, I HAVE ASKED OTHER PEOPLE RIDING IN MY CAR AT NIGHT IF THEY FEEL IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH THE LOW BEAMS AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED MY CONCLUSION THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ONE PASSENGER TOLD ME IT CAUSES HER ANXIETY TO RIDE WITH ME WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH THE LOW BEAMS. I HOPE HONDA CAN FIX THIS ISSUE WITH ME SO I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

HI, WE PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA CRV IN AUGUST, 2008. WE HAVE BEEN READING COMPLAINTS ON THE 2008 CRV DURING WINTER (THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I ENCOUNTERED LAST WINTER). IT SLIDES EASILY AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DOESN'T WORK WELL DURING WINTER. IT DOESN'T WORK WELL TOO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A PARKING THAT SLOPES UP WITH ABOUT 6 INCHES OF SNOW. I WAS IN A HURRY TO GO TO WORK BUT I GOT TOWED THE FIRST TIME WHEN MY 2008 CRV WAS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD BECAUSE IT COULD NOT GO FORWARD WHEN IT WAS IN THE PARKING THAT SLOPES UP EVEN IF I ALREADY PLOWED THE SNOW. IT COULD ONLY REVERSE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO GO FORWARD. WHEN I WAS TOWED THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY A HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE IN IL. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE A NUMBER OF TIMES DURING WINTER EVEN IF I DRIVE SLOW WHICH NEVER HAPPENED ON MY OLD HYUNDAI. SO, I TRIED TO BE VERY VERY SLOW ON WINTER BECAUSE I WAS REALLY SCARED. I DON'T TRUST MY CRV DURING WINTER. THE VEHICLE IS NOT RECOMMENDABLE TO BUYERS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS DURING WINTER. HONDA MIGHT BE SUED BY COMPLAINANTS IF SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS DURING ACCIDENTS. MY FORMER BOSS LOVED THE LOOKS OF MY CRV AND PLANNED TO PURCHASE THE SAME BUT I SAID IT IS NOT RECOMMENDABLE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS DURING WINTER. I RELAYED TO HER THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD DURING WINTER. SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED AND DECIDED TO BUY A NISSAN. I DON'T WANT TO RECOMMEND THE 2008 MODEL TO SOMEBODY AND LATER ON WILL FIND OUT AND EXPERIENCE THE SAME AND THEN BLAME ME FOR RECOMMENDING IT TO THEM. I AM SORRY ABOUT THIS BUT THESE ARE FACTS THAT HONDA SHOULD KNOW. I ALREADY REPORTED THIS TO THEM BUT AS I SAID I WAS ONLY TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I STILL BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE 2008 MODELS FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYBODY. I LOVE MY CRV BUT NOT DURING WINTER. 2008 HONDA CRV OWNER. *TR

WHILE AT THIS SHOP, OUR MECHANIC PULLED ALL FOUR WHEELS, AND INFORMED US THAT ALL THE WHEELS STUDS, 20 IN TOTAL, WERE BENT OUTWARD, IN A CIRCUMFERENTIAL PATTERN. WE WERE THEN ADVISED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA, AS THIS WAS CERTAINLY DUE TO SOME TYPE OF PRODUCT DEFECT. DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION WE HAD, AT OUR EXPENSE, THE CRV TOWED TO LEHIGH VALLEY HONDA FOR INSPECTION, AND WE ASSUMED, A WARRANTY REPAIR. IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE, WHEN LEHIGH VALLEY HONDAS' SERVICE ADVISOR INSINUATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THAT WE HAD SOMEHOW THROUGH OUR OWN CARELESSNESS, DAMAGED THIS VEHICLE. HE THEN DETERMINED THAT SINCE HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH DAMAGE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN OUR MISUSE OF THE CRV THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE AND THUS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE HONDA WARRANTY. I SHOULD POINT OUT AT THIS POINT, THAT THE INSPECTION WAS THOROUGH ENOUGH TO OBSERVE THAT THERE WERE THREE BROKEN STUDS, & FIFTEEN DAMAGED ONES. REFER TO ATTACHED REPORT. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHERE THE ADDITIONAL BROKEN STUD WAS, AND WHY ONLY 18 OUT OF A TOTAL 20 STUDS WERE DETERMINED TO BE BENT. WE HAVE IN OUR POSSESSION, THE 18 BENT STUDS, WHICH WERE REPLACED BY OUR REPAIR SHOP. FURTHER, THEY REFUSED TO RELEASE COPIES OF PICTURES THEY ALLEGEDLY TOOK TO MY HUSBAND WHEN HE REQUESTED SAME. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SUGGESTS THAT EITHER THE WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE, OR PERHAPS THE TIRES. HE HAS, AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE, REPLACED ALL 20 WHEEL STUDS AND BEARINGS WITH GENUINE HONDA PARTS. HE HAS INFORMED ME THAT WE MUST BRING IT IN AT 1,000, 3,000, 6,0000 ETC. INTERVALS, AS HE BELIEVES THAT THERE IS SOMETHING INTRINSICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT THE BENT STUD SITUATION WILL REOCCUR.*TR UPDATED 04/12/10.*JB

CONTINENTAL OEM TIRE ON HONDA CRV CAUSES VEHICLE TO SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL ON SNOW COVERED ROADS AND CONSTANTLY LOSE TRACTION IN REAR. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE POORLY DESIGNED LOW RATED TIRES. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING THE CRV NOW. (2) HONDA DEALERS INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR POSSIBLE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM AND BOTH DEALERS CONFIRMED THAT VSA WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. DEALER #2 STATED THAT HE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER CRV OWNERS BECAUSE OF THE TIRES. LOOKING AT TIRE REVIEWS ON LINE THE CONTINENTAL CONTACT 4 X 4 IS RATED AS A VERY POOR TIRE THAT WEARS OUT VERY QUICKLY AND WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AS I HAVE STATED. EVEN THE AUTHORIZED CONTINENTAL DEALER IN MY AREA SAYS THE TIRES ARE POOR QUALITY AND HAS RARELY SEEN THEM MAKE 20,000 MILES. HONDA WON'T ADMIT THEY MADE A POOR CHOICE PUTTING THIS UNSAFE CHEAP TIRE ON THE CRV. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES AT 5000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 8000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HONDA AMERICA WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY NO HELP WILL ONLY REFER YOU TO THE TIRE DEALER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THEIR CHOICE TO PUT THIS UNSAFE TIRE ON THE CRV AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. HONDAS SUGGESTION WAS THAT I RUN CHAINS. OUR WINTERS HERE IN NORTHWEST PA RUN FROM NOVEMBER TO MARCH. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE OTHER THAN THE US MAIL VEHICLES AND PLOW TRUCKS THAT RUN CHAINS. WHAT A STUPID SUGGESTION. I BOUGHT THE CRV 4 WD FOR PEACE OF MIND, FUEL ECONOMY AND SAFETY. HONDA NEEDS TO BE AWARE THAT THEY CAN'T PUT PEOPLE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF SOMEONES DECISION TO PUT LOW GRADE TIRES ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

Seat belts, Jan 23, 2009, crash
I HAD AN ACCIDENT DEC 9, 2008 IN MY 2008 HONDA CR-V. I TOOK IT TO THE BODY SHOP THE NEXT DAY. THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE TAKEN 10 DAYS. THE BODY SHOP FOUND THAT THE SEATBELT JAMMED & DIDN'T DEPLOY LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE, SO NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BUCKLE. THE BUCKLE IS A CONTROLLED PART, HAS TO BE ORDERED BY VIN# & WAS ON BACK ORDER, THEY WILL NOT OVERNIGHT IT EITHER. IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO COME IN (ON EMERGENCY ORDER), MY BODY SHOP WOULD NOT LET ME HAVE IT BACK TIL THE SEATBELT WORKED. FINALLY GOT THE SEATBELT BUCKLE IN & SOMETHING WAS STILL WRONG. MY BODY SHOP GUY TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER (TRICKETT HONDA IN NASHVILLE, TN) & LEFT IT. THE HONDA DEALER SAID THE SRS BOX HAD TO BE REPLACED, SAID IT WAS PART OF A RECALL, SO HAD TO ORDER THE SRS BOX & WAIT FOR IT. HONDA WASN'T GOING TO RELEASE THE NEW SRS BOX'S TILL JAN. 16TH. THEN WHEN THE SRS WAS REPLACED IT INDICATED THE PASSENGER FRONT SEATBELT BUCKLE WAS BAD, PART OF THE RECALL. HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK FOR IT TO COME IN ON EMERGENCY ORDER. FINALLY GOT MY HONDA BACK ON JAN 22, 2009. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR A RENTAL 30 DAYS & THEN I HAD TO PAY FOR 15 DAYS. NOW I AM TRYING TO GET HONDA OF AMERICA TO PAY FOR THE 15 DAYS I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL. A FRIENDS BROTHER WORKS FOR HONDA IN KY& ALSO SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE THE SEATBELTS WERE JAMMING. YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL POSTED ANYWHERE FOR THIS. MY CASE MANAGER AT HONDA OF AMERICA (ANTONIO "TONY' GONZALES) SAID THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY CAR. I ASKED HIM FOR HIS SUPERVISOR WHEN I WASN'T GETTING ANYWHERE, HE SAID I COULDN'T TALK TO HIS SUPERVISOR, NOT PART OF THE PROCEDURE. I HAD TO GO OFF ON HIM TO GET HIM TO REFER IT TO A SENIOR CASE MANAGER. THEN HE FINALLY SAID I COULD FAX HIM MY PAID CAR RENTAL BILL & HE'D SEE IF I COULD BE REIMBURSED. ENTERPRISE FAXED HIM A COPY OF THE BILL ON JAN 22, 2009 FOR ME. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2008 HONDA CRV ON AUG 29 AND WITHIN 2 DAYS I REALIZED THAT CAR PULLS TO ITS RIGHT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ON MY FIRST ATTEMPT OF DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM TO THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND ASKED ME TO DRIVE FOR ATLEAST 3-4K MILES. IT IS VERY RISKY ON ROAD AS CAR PULLS TO RIGHT. WHEN I INSISTED AGAIN AND AGAIN SAME DAY, THEY ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE CAR AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER 2 DAYS THEY RETURNED THE CAR BUT IT STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. THIS PULL IS REALLY SCARY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON FREEWAYS. I HAVE LEFT MY CAR AT DEALER SERVICE FOR SECOND TIME (PULL TO THE RIGHT) WITHIN FIRST 7 DAYS. *TR
