| Description of the problem | Feb 2012 : purchased my 2012 honda crv because it was flat towable. Sept 1 :left for a two month trip towing said car and using the blue ox patriot braking system. After following all the directions for blue ox and hondas directions for the transmission, everything seemed fine. With exception of the battery going dead every 3-4 hrs of driving. Oct 6: the back brake sounded like it was scraping. Honda dealer said the pads were rubbing but didn't have any replacements. I was told they would be okay to make it back home. Oct 16: in texas the brakes sounded like it was metal on metal. Took into a honda dealership and was told that the brake pad was missing on the right rear, the caliper pins were missing, rotors needed to be resurfaced, and the parking brake calipers pins were missing. Everything replaced under warranty for both rear brakes. Car test driven, all brakes fine. Oct 28: back home, brakes vibrating so took it to a honda dealership for oil change and have them check the brakes. I was told all four of the brakes were shot burnt etc and parts would cost $5,000. 00. They said it would not be covered under warranty because i used an after the market braking system. They are blaming blue ox. Blue ox is blaming honda. America honda hdq were notified but they said since the dealership deemed it wasn't their fault they closed my case. Im the one stuck with paying as the insurance wont cover this either. |
