I have a 1999 honda cr-v with approximately 120k miles on it. The #4 cylinder has low compression due to a burned exhaust valve. The owner's manual fails to state that the valves need to be checked every 15k miles (honda has acknowledged the misprint but fails to assist in repair costs). The vehicle idles very low and stalls occasionally, putting me and my family at risk.

We purchased a 1998 honda civic in march 1998. While it was in the warranty period, the AC unit went out which was covered. My husband brought it to the dealer and was told that something caused a metal part in the compressor to break, causing metal fragments to contaminate the AC system. The car was about 2-3 years old and the time and the dealer repaired it at no cost to us. We have since sold this vehicle. In july of 1999 we purchased a honda cr-v (ex) which we still own. We also purchased the extended warranty ($75k coverage) on this vehicle. In august of 2003 (within 200 miles of when the extended warranty expired) at 77k miles, the A/C compressor failed. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that there was no coverage due to the fact that the warranty had expired. I took it to several A/C repair shops and most of them quoted $1200-$1400. We had the AC repaired by a reputable AC repair shop at the cost of $1200. We have kept up all required maintenance on the vehicle and intended on keeping it for another 2 years or so. However, last week, my husband was driving and the same thing happened. The compressor made a terrible clunking noise, and something appeared to break off. We brought it in and sure enough, the compressor had gone out again. I was told by the dealer this time, that it appears that something (road debris) causes this problem and that many others have complained about it. We are being quoted another $1400-$1500 to fix the A/C. We have decided not to buy another honda due to the problems we have had. My husband had to buy another vehicle (this time a toyota) because he drives 30 miles one way and then has to drive around to customers. When I called the dealer, I was told there was nothing they could do. I believe that honda has been aware for many years about a defect in the AC systems or a defect in the way the AC systems and have acted in bad faith by not doing anything about it.

I own a 1999 honda cr-v. The check engine light came on around 102,000 miles. The car began losing power, shaking while idling and chugging loudly during gear shifting. One day the engine just died, right in the middle of the parking lot I was driving through. No warning. I then took it to a mechanic I trust. They first had me replace the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires. It took them two visits to finally realize the valves were burnt and the head now must be replaced. Average cost to replace is $3500 to $4000. I have been researching this and it is a common complaint for 1997 to 2000 plus models. This problem must be stopped before someone is seriously injured.

Hello I have a 1999 honda crv.. I have 102k on my car. I have had taken my car to a repair shop (hondapro) and they told me that particular engine has had problems specifically with the valves overtightening and causing the head to need to be replaced. No symptoms accrue then the cel comes on with codes of misfire, by that time its too late. Burnt and cracked valves are a common problem with this car. I have read several forums that has other owners of the honda crv that has had the same problem and had to replace the head that costs the consumer at least between 3-5k to fix the problem. I have already replaced the valves on mine once at about 87,327 miles. I don't think that the engine head is a good one when its only been less that 15k miles and the problems come back. I hope something can get done about this head problem. Thank you.

Consumer stated that his 1999 crv has the same problems as stated in tsb 03-038. *kb ***nar*** the tsb was for poor engine performance due to exhaust valves receding into the cylinder heads. The consumer feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for replacing the faulty parts.
