ON MARCH 11, 2018 I BACKED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND PARKED NEXT TO MY PORCH. BEFORE GOING INTO THE HOUSE, MY GRANDSON TOLD ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR WHICH WAS SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN SECONDS THE SMOKE TURNED DARK GRAY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED IN 3 MINUTES. I COULD SEE FIRE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE ON THE BOTTOM AT THE DRIVEWAY. THE FRONT DOOR WINDOWS WERE BUSTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE ON THE DASHBOARD, TOO.

PARKED CAR IN PARKING LOT AND CAME BACK AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS AND NOTICED ALL CAR DOORS WERE NOT UNLOCKING EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY. AFTER, COUPLE OF HOURS OF CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO GET IT UNLOCKED I GAVE UP AND LEFT MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND IS STILL PRESENT THERE. I GAVE A CALL TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE WITHOUT INSPECTING IT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE EARLY DECEMBER 2016 AND WAS TOLD I WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 36 MONTHS OR 100,000 MILES IN THE AMOUNT $2500. AFTER, ARGUING WITH THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME I AM NOT COVERED AND SHOULD CONTACT 3RD PART WARRANTY COMPANY DIRECTLY AND TOLD ME IT EXPIRED 11 MONTH AFTER DATE OF PURCHASE WHICH WAS NOT STATED TO ME WHEN BUYING THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE GOD FORBID IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND THIS ISSUE OCCURRED WHO WOULD HELP ME GET OUT OR IF I LEFT MY KIDS IN THE CAR.

I HAVE A HONDA CR-V 2011. IN OCTOBER OF 2016 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT HAD COME ON. THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS 4 1/2 QUARTS LOW. THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER A BIT AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS USING OIL WITH NO LEAKS. THEY HAVE TWO OPTIONS TO REBUILD EXISTING MOTOR WITH NEW PISTONS AND RINGS OR A REBUILT MOTOR. I HAVE TALKED WITH MIKE WHO IS A REP FROM HONDA. HE HAS TOLD ME THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FROM AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS BACK IN 2015. THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING AND SAYS HONDA IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY FOR EIGHT YEARS OR 125,000 MILES FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. IT HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. THIS ARTICLE ALSO SITES HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 12-089 FOR CR-VS (12-087 FOR ACCORD).

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM AN ON RAMP TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. AFTER I WAS IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I HIT MY BRAKES TO KEEP PACE WITH THE TRAFFIC. MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ONLY MOVE SLIGHTLY AND THE ENGINE WAS REVING. I MOVED THE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. I THEN HIT THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR SHIFT TO PUT THE CAR IN D3 AND CONTINUE TO TRY THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES FINALLY STARTED WORKING I PUT ON MY 4 WAY FLASHERS AND MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AS I SAT THERE I KEPT TESTING THE BRAKES TO INSURE THE PEDAL WOULD MOVE TOWARD THE FLOOR AND KEPT REVVING THE ENGINE TO BE SURE IT WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS. I DID CALL THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. THEY DID ASK IF I HAD FLOOR MATS. I DO HAVE FLOOR MAT, BUT I DO CHECK THEM TO BE SURE THEY ARE PULLED BACK AND NOT UNDER THE PEDALS.
