Description of the problem | I am the original owner of the well maintained vehicle, a 2005 honda crv with 56,781 miles currently, and no longer covered by any warranty. At @ 55,500 miles,the car had the abs and vsa lights come on spontaneously on the dashboard display which indicated that they were not functional. They would not turn off. The car was taken to its regular service dealership, economy honda in chattanooga,tn and the problem was diagnosed (free of charge) as a failure of the abs/vsa modulator (computer). Cost to repair was @ $2,400. 00 (@ $1800 for the part, balance labor). They said it was o. K. To drive but it had no anti-lock brakes or vsa. Because this was a safety issue, an unusual occurrence and very expensive to repair, i contacted the district honda customer service (case # n012011-03-1501146) and explained the problem. They were most helpful and courteous. They recorded the complaint and after 3 days honda called and agreed to share 50% of the cost to repair. The crv was repaired on march 29,2011 at the same dealership with my cost share of $1206. 79. In my internet search on the problem, i found at least 55 instances (usa, ca, and eu) of the same abs/vsa problem and cost to repair on one blog i found. All vehicles were 2005 and 2006 honda crvs. |
