| Description of the problem | On may 29, 2004, i purchased a honda cr-v, 2004, vehicle from casey honda in newport news. It is a four-wheel drive vehicle with automatic transmission. I had the vehicle for only two weeks and i only drove it 109 miles. The odometer right now shows 117 miles. On june 13, i was driving the vehicle in newport news, va when suddenly the engine stopped in the middle of the road, in front of the stop traffic light. There was a burning smell coming out of the hood and the check engine light came on. When i turn on the engine the tachometer show 1000 rpm, then 3000 rpm and then back again to 2000 rpm. Thus the tachometer shows an unstable running engine when the transmission is on the neutral or parking position. I was able to start the engine after a few minutes and get home which was fortunately only a mile away. On june 14, 2004 i contacted the casey honda dealership and they sent their representative to tow away the vehicle. The odometer showed 117 miles. The same day the dealership serviceman, mr. Kevin, called me and told that the vehicle is not drivable and that they have to keep the vehicle for about a week until the parts will arrive and they will try to fix it. He told me that the causes of the problem are some defective parts that they need to replace. |
