THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CR-V, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE LIGHT, AND FOUND IT TO BE A FAULTY FTP SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED OFF OF ANOTHER CR-V ON THE LOT. SINCE THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR, I HAVE HAD THE PHANTOM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF ABOUT EVERY MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2012, AND THEY FOUND THE FTP SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHERE IN THE SENSOR WAS BAD. THEY CLEARED THE CODE, AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AS I PULLED INTO SERVICE. APRIL 6, THE CHECK FUEL CAP LIGHT WAS FLASHING(WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE LIGHT IS ABOUT TO GO ON) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON APRIL 7. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME.THEY SAID I HAD YET ANOTHER BAD FTP SENSOR, AND REPLACED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A NEW PART IN STOCK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE. RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES ON, MY MILEAGE GOES FROM 27 MPG TO AROUND 22MPG. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
2010 HONDA CRV BOUGHT NEW. WE HAVE A DRIVELINE VIBRATION NOTICED THE DAY WE TOOK IT HOME. WE HAVE 5 REPAIR ORDERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. 1 OF THE REPAIR ORDERS WAS DONE BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE WHO NOTED THE VIBRATION AND WHAT HE THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE DONE BUT NO REPAIR WAS MADE. WE ARE WORKING WITH A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. I AM A AUTO TECHNICIAN AND NOT MUCH OF WHAT I SAID WAS DONE. HONDA IS NOW TRYING TO WALK AWAY FROM US. THE LAWYER SAID SHE FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA 2 TIMES AND IT WAS "DENIED". I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SINCE THE MASSACHUSETTS LEMON LAW, M.G.L. CH 90 ยง 7N 1/2 STATES THAT IT IS PRESUMED THAT THE LEMON LAW IS SATISFIED IF EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS IS MET: 1. THE CAR WAS PRESENTED FOR REPAIR ON 3 OR MORE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME NONCONFORMITY WITHIN ONE YEAR OR 15,000 MILES FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL DELIVERY OF THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.. WE CLEARLY FIT THIS BUT THE 1ST TIME AROUND WITH THE LAWYER SHE SAID WE DID NOT QUALIFY AND SAID " I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED "ISSUES" WITH YOUR VEHICLE BUT SOME OF THE "ISSUES" YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED DO NOT FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. CONCERNS RELATED TO BRAKES, ROTORS, TIRES, WHEELS, ALIGNMENTS, COSMETIC ISSUES, WEAR & TEAR- ARE ALL ITEMS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED IN YOUR WARRANTY BOOKLET AND ALTHOUGH THE DEALER MAY DECIDE TO PERFORM REPAIRS AT NO COST UNDER "GOOD-WILL", THEY DO FALL WITHIN THE LEMON LAW SO THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE AND THEREFORE WILL NOT MAKE YOU AN OFFER OF SETTLEMENT. " THIS IS NOT A "WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM IF THE CAR IS NEW!!!! *TR
