Hello Sir/Madam, I own 2008 HONDA CR V. Yesterday when I tried to start my car, I head loud abnormal loud noise and the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT LIT ON the dash board. Since the noise was very abnormal and very loud, I decided not to drive the car. Next, I searched on internet to see if other Honda owners have same issue. I went to https://owners.honda.com/servicemaintenance/recalls?id= website and found the following. HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2010 ACCORD, 2007-2010 CR-V, AND 2005-2008 ELEMENT PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1, 2004, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 3, 2010. THE OUTER RACE OF THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING MAY BE BROKEN DURING CERTAIN DRIVING STYLES. A BROKEN OUTER RACE MAY CAUSE ABNORMAL NOISE, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT TO TURN ON, AND ALLOW CONTACT BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION IDLE GEAR AND AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR HOUSING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. SAFETY RISK: THIS COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, BROKEN PIECES OF THE OUTER RACE OR BALL BEARING FROM THE SECONDARY SHAFT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE PARKING PAWL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER HAS PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE PARK POSITION. ENGINE STALL AND UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT INCREASES THERISK OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO PERSONS WITHIN THE PATH OF AROL LING VEHICLE. Then I called AutoNation Honda O'Hare dealer in Des Plaines , IL and explained my issue. I was told by the dealership that my VIN number is not covered in spite of me having exactly the same issue as described in HONDA'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER R89 and that I will have to pay for the diagnosis and repair. Next I called American Honda corporation and explained my issue. I was told that my VIN number is not covered in spite of me having exactly the same issue as described in HONDA'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER R89 and that I will have to pay for the diagnosis. This is serious SAFETY ISSUE and American Honda Corporation is putting my safety as risk.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
My vehicle mobile assist light came on it will not go off it is preventing my car from accelerating and stalls when I do try to accelerate
Vehicle shut off while driving on highway. Had it towed for service. The main computer turned out to be defective and had to be replaced. Very expensive. Mileage was about 91,000 miles when this occurred. No computer was in stock so replaced with a used computer that was reprogrammed for my vehicle.
My crv has acceleration problems when it idles in traffic for long periods it looses the ability to accelerate. It starts to sputter and then dies. But does start back up after sitting for a few minutes it also drives great when outside temps are below 68 degrees but has poor acceleration when outside temps are 70 degrees and above also I noticed there is a gas smell on the oil dip stick. Honda mechanics say they don't know what's wrong with it and there is no check engine light coming on to give me an idea of what is going on with the vehicle this happens no matter if I'm driving on a city road or private road my experience with this is in stop and go traffic that causes the vehicle to have to sit for long periods of time and idle when the acceleration problem happens I can only go 5 MPH also vehicle stalls while trying to cross intersections after waiting on a traffic lights to change can someone help me please.
Takata recall: my wifes honda airbag light has come on twice already, once while driving and once while parked. I caled honda dealer and they said not to worry about it the vehicle is safe to drive. They cancelled my appointment to do the recall. Do we have to wait until my wife or myself gets hurt or killed before something gets done?? I believe honda should at least provide a rental vehicle until this gets fixed. If honda keeps denying to fix or stalling to get my wifes cr-v taken care of, I will be forced to take legal action.
