NHTSA Complaint #11297357 — 2015 HONDA CR-V

MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS 2015 CRV USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 31,400. MILES. CHECKED THE CAR FAX NO PROBLEMS NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED. THE CAR DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE CAR AND SERVICED IT. IT HAD AN OIL JOB, BATTERY, TIRES REPLACED. DROVE IT FOR 4 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. I AM STILL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THEN DECEMBER 17 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE MY 22 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING IT ON THE ROADWAY. JUST LOST POWERS. SOMEONE EVENTUALLY PUSHED HIS CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO JOYCE HONDA. ALTHOUGH UNDER WARRANTY THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. SAID THE CAR HAD ONLY 1 GALLON OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. NO LEAKS. THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS PRIOR, NO LIGHTS LITE UP ON THE DASHBOARD WARNING US TO SERVICE OR CHECK THE ENGINE. NO FUMES. WE DIDN'T EVEN OWN THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO NEED AN OIL JOB YET. I SPOKE TO OTHER MECHANICS WHO SAID IT'S DEFECTIVE. IT COULD NOTBHAVE BEEN DRIVEN FOR FOUR MONTHS ON ONE GALLON TRANSMISSION FLUID. I KNOW HONDA HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S A DEFECTIVE TORGUE CONVERTER THAT IS BURNING OFF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH HONDA BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A $4800 REPAIR! HONDA NEEDS TO STAND BY ITS WARRANTY.
