| Description of the problem | I purchased at 2013 honda crv from pohanka in salisbury md with 30k miles. The other day i noticed my driver side vents were blowing cold air with the heat on. I took the car to the dealership where they told me it was the heater core and was going to cost me 400$ i purchased bumper to bumper warranty on this vehicle which should cover that expensive but doesn't. I've done a lot of research and have found that this particular model has a tsb 14-063 which states a factory defect. Factory! Many crv customers have reported this problem and it has yet to become a safety recall. I can not defrost my windshield during cold temperatures or fog/humidity,that is a safety problem to me and many others who own this model. Ive owned probably 15 hondas and have never had a heater core problem especially at 30kmiles. I, nor should anyone have to pay for a factory mishap. The technical service bulletin for this model needs to be passed as a safety recall immediately before someone gets in an accident. Its not a if it's going to happen its when. I've read atleast 100 complaints about this specific problem and cant understands why honda wont own up to this problem and take responsibility! |
