NHTSA Complaint #10100156 — 1998 HONDA CR-V

I RECENTLY READ THE PRESS REGARDING FIRES STARTING UNDERNEATH HONDA CRVS. LAST YEAR, FOLLOWING AN OIL CHANGE, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND HEARD PEOPLE SCREAMING AT ME FROM THEIR CARS-THERE WAS A FIRE UNDER MY CAR. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND, BY THEN, THE FIRE WAS OUT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE BACK TO MY MECHANIC-THEY EXAMINED THE CAR, WHICH STILL SMELLED OF SMOKE, BUT THEY WERE STUMPED. THE GARAGE IS VERY REPUTABLE AND AAA RATED. I RECENTLY READ ANOTHER ARTICLE THAT INDICATED NHTSA REOPENED AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS A 1998-I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN THE 2003-2004 MODELS. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED WHENEVER MY OIL IS CHANGED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECTIFIED BY HONDA-QUICKLY.*AK
