I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 61/2 MILES WHEN THE DRIVE LIGHT (LIGHT SHOWING THE GEAR YOU ARE USING) WENT OUT AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL. THE GEAR LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO RUN. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I CONTINUED THE 2 1/2 MILES HOME. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUG. 2003, AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT I WAS VERY CLOSE TO NEEDING THE 40,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT OVER THE WEEKEND AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. MY HUSBAND AND I DROVE IT TO INDIANA LIKE WE HAD PLANNED, TO BRING BACK SOME ITEMS FROM HIS GRANDMOTHERS, GARAGE. WE HAD NO PROBLEMS ON SATURDAY, BUT ON SUNDAY JUST OUTSIDE OF FT. WAYNE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GEAR LIGHT WENT OUT. WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER SHIP ABOUT 4 MILES AWAY. WE LEFT THE CAR AND RENTED A VEHICLE TO GET HOME. THE HONDA MECHANICS HAD THE CRV FOR A WEEK BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. WE PICKED THE CAR UP THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY AND BY THE TIME WE MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WAS ACTING UP AGAIN. WE DROVE BACK TO COLUMBUS PULLING OVER EVER 7 OR 8 MINUTES TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF FOR 5 MINUTES. ABOUT HALF WAY HOME THE CAR STALLED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE WE MADE IT HOME. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED OVER THE LAST 10 WEEKS. IT HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE THOUGHT THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED WHEN SOME WIRING WAS REPLACED BUT THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED. TODAY IS AUGUST 19TH AND IT HAS BEEN 11 WEEKS OF HEADACHES AND STRESS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ACCELERATION IS STILL SLUGGISH AFTER UPDATES. PROBLEM WITH ENGINE IS NOT FIXED AS IT IS PROBABLY A POOR DESIGN. UPDATES MADE THE SITUATION BETTER. IT RAN BEST AFTER THE UPDATES. FIRST HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE IT WAS A YEAR OLD. *TR
