My mechanic has said that they have replaced many valve cover gaskets on Hondas and they’re not sure why there has not been a recall. They’ve been keeping an eye on mine but now it’s time to get it replaced. I need to know why there has not been a recall.
Vehicle stalls while accelerating from a stop. I have had it checked out with a mechanic but he could diagnose the cause. I take great care when especially making a left turn. When the vehicle stalls I have to gently accelerate so it won’t shut down. Very unsafe. Has been occurring for the last 2 years.
The fuel pump failed while I was driving on the highway. My car entirely and suddenly stopped working while I was driving in an extremely busy highway almost causing me to get into an accident. There was a recall issued for my year and type of vehicle but my vin number was not listed and I was not notified or contacted of the potential danger. I spoke with Honda and they told me my vehicle vin was not under the recall. I had lights flash in my dashboard almost immediately before my gas just stopped working and I had to almost coast to the side of the road. Terrifying.

Driving car made a rattle noise in the engine compartment. Driving I lost power on the freeway. Engine light came on. Had it towed. No one wants to touch the problem being the actuator. There is no fix for it according to dealer. Problem will occur again & again.
My 2015 Honda CR-V, at 128,547 miles, with remaining oil life @ 30%, the check oil light is flashing. Took it to the dealership and was told the car was 3 quarts low in oil. After diagnosis, I was told I needed a new engine because my the oil being lost is actually backing up into the engine. To replace the engine would cost me out of pocket $7527.72, because the car is no longer under warranty. Really, at 128,547 miles to replace the engine when the car was purchased and has been serviced by this same dealership? Something is wrong with this picture. I purchased a Honda based on it's decent reputation to stand behind their product. But Honda Corp advised me today that I'm just at a loss in this situation. They have no intentions of making this good for the customer! What a let-down!
