| Description of the problem | 2001 honda crv started to have a rough idle followed by the check engine light turning on approximately one year ago. Took the vehicle in for a tune up at a local dealer and problem temporarily went away. Recently the problem got worse and the check engine light came back on. The honda dealer evaluated the check engine light reported that there was a problem with the valves. I had the dealer conduct a valve adjustment and they reported that compression on the #3 cylinder only reported 45 psi and recommended replacing the cylinder head at a cost of $4500 dollars. The service representative the honda dealership was aware of problems with the honda crv and honda has not taken any responsibility for the problem nor offered to repair the problem. I believe honda has been aware of problems with the 2001 honda crv. Request the nhtsb conduct an investigation. |
