| Description of the problem | Took new 2004 honda cr-v into dealer (bob barbour honda of greenville, nc) for first oil change on saturday, may 15 2002. On sunday, while driving across town to church with my wife and two young children, i noticed a large amount of smoke. I pulled out of traffic and a man at a nearby business came running out yelling that my car was on fire. We exited the vehicle, unbuckled the children from the saftey seats and got away from the car. The fire dept was called to extenguish the fire. Police officer also arrived on the scene. As it is a sunday, i have not been in contact with the dealer yet to determine how they intend to correct the situation. This is a very dangerous situation. *ak |
