| Description of the problem | At 71,655 miles, my 1999 honda cr-v had the engine check light come on. Took it to the dealership who checked it on the cpu and found misfire codes for all of the cylinders. Exhaust valves were very tight. Valves were adjusted. Was told that the valves started to burn. We were told that this is very common with all 1999 honda cr-vs. Was told that head assembly will need to be replaced for $3265. 00. Since the honda technician has seen this problem numerous times before, as well as technicians at many other honda service departments that were called about the problem, honda should be paying for this repair. Up until this point, we swore by honda, but now believe that we will switch to toyotas. |
