Consumer received recall notifications for the throttle cable and transmission shift cable. When consumer took vehicle to the dealership for recall repairs, dealership informed him that the parts were not available.
This is the 3rd recall on my 2002 honda cr-v. The 1st was for the power-train-automatic transmission, the 2nd for electrical system-ignition switch, and now it's for the cr-v a/t shift cable. The whole car seems faulty. What are my rights as a consumer? Shouldn't they just give me a new car?
Problems concerning with a/t shift cable.*mr consumer question whether or not dirt could cause the cable to slip, rather than the corrosion concept identified in the recall. Consumer believes the park gear should not have allowed her vehicle to move while in park. Consumer first experienced this failure when she pulled into her garage, and parked the vehicle. After she exited the vehicle, she seen it roll backwards. She jumped into the vehicle and applied the brakes. Unfortunately, the moving door jammed into the side of the garage. She pulled it away from the garage wall and parked it again in its original place. At this point she noticed the door and the garage sustained damage. In addition, consumer noted the garage has a little slope. The next day, the serviceman knew what had happened when the consumer went the get the door repaired. Consumer was told to order the parts and she did. The door had scratches, dents and damages to the vinyl molding. Consumer was informed by others to check for recalls. She did find that there was a recall for this defect. Consumer was told to use the park brake until the recall was performed. She requested that honda absorb the cost to restore the vehicle in the "as new" state it was in since the damage was due to a mechanical failure.
The dealership does not have the parts available for recall#03v274000. The consumer is having problems with the vehicle stalling, but is able to restart with no problem. South motors 305‑256‑2340. Please provide the dealerships address.
Ignition was accidentally to be turned off and the key removed with the automatic transmission still in drive on 2 occasions up to date.
Safety recall notice for a/t shift cable. *mr the vehicle rolled back and hit the consumer. The consumer reached in the vehicle to take the keys out when this occuerd. The consumer was dragged several yards while holding the door. The vehicle continued moving backwards until it rested against the sidewalk. The consumer received a recall notice after the incident happened. *scc
Vehicle jumped out of park and crashed into farming equipment on private property. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that some of the transmission parts were corroded. *ak honda didn't inform the consumer of the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for months with a complaint of difficulty shifting. The consumer was almost rear ended twice because the vehicle wouldn't shift from reverse to drive. *scc
Consumer states while vehicle was parked and without any indication it rolled backwards. *ak the mechanic informed the consumer the shift cable was dirty which may have caused the vehicle to roll.*ts
Consumer called complaining about shift gear arm problems. The arm to change gears was too close to the radio, and consumer accidentally shifted the vehicle into neutral. Manufacturer was not contacted at the time of this call.
The gear shifter became hard to shift at times, the consumer was told to make sure the brake was pressed hard enough when the gear was placed into park or being taken out of park. Three weeks later the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle rolled while still in park, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the consumer was told the part was exposed to elements which caused it to rust. *ak *ts
Every time there is a sudden stop or rough stop, the vehicle stars spinning around. Dealer was contacted.
While I was shopping, my parked crv popped out of gear, going from park to neutral. It then rolled backwards into another parked vehicle. I left my crv in park, and it is impossible to have removed the key unless it was in park. Honda readily agrees this to be the case. Honda has torn my car apart, searching for the cause, and come up with nothing. Subsequently, I have seen many news reports of honda's "popping" out of gear, and I am afraid. I drive a treacherous mountain/canyon road to and from work each day; I cannot afford to have this happen on that road, for all reports indicate that the driver loses control of the vehicle when it happens. I am thankful that my crv was parked when it popped out of gear.
Twice in the first 6 weeks I have reached for the radio controls and have accidently gotten the sleeve of my coat caught on the gear shifter causing me to shift into neutral from drive. My concern is if this could further and put the vehicle into reverse. This could cause and accident with injuries as well as doing damage to the transmission.
