Consumer Description

2001 HONDA CR-V SE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, IDLE BECAME EXTREMELY ROUGH AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING UNUSUAL PRECEDED THIS INCIDENT. TOOK THE CAR INTO TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD THE 4TH CYLINDER WAS ONLY HOLDING 15-20% OF REQUIRED PRESSURE, IT HAD GONE SOFT. RESEARCHED ISSUE AND FOUND HONDA HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #03038 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE HONDA CR-V AS THE HONDA MAINTENANCE GUIDE DOES NOT RECOMMEND ANY VALVE MAINTENANCE UNTIL 105,000 MILES. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE ENGINE'S HIGH COMPRESSION RATE CAUSES THE VALVES TO WARP AND BECOME SOFT UNLESS THEY ARE ADJUSTED EVERY 30,000-35,000 MILES. HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HONDA AND ALL THEY ARE WILLING TO DO IS SPLIT THE COST 50/50 OF THIS MAJOR REPAIR, OVER $3,000. THEY ARE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS OCCURRING WITH THE 1999-2001 HONDA CR-VS THAT USE THE B210Z ENGINE. *TR
