2003 HONDA CR-V Engine Problems

MY LOW BEAMS DO NOT WORK ON 2003 HONDA CRV. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015, AND SEE THERE WAS A LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT RECALL IN MARCH/ APRIL OF 2012. SINCE THE ISSUE JUST STARTED IN MY VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS A PRIOR RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE THE RECALL TO BE SENT TO ME. ALSO, MY VEHICLE IS SHOWING A CODE P1259 VTEC SYSTEM MALFUNCTION SHOWING UP.

WHEN IN DRIVE, AT A LIGHT, WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES BRIEFLY, THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR OR 2. ON 06/04/18, WHEN IN MOTION,IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I DROPPED IT INTO DRIVE, IT CONTINUED UNTIL I BRAKED AND JAMMED IT INTO PARK, THEN THE ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE.

TAKATA RECALL : WHEN I START THE CAR AND KEEP AC ON, RATTLING SOUND COMES AND AC STOPS WORKING. I CAN SEE THERE IS ONE RECALL FOR 2002- 2008 HONDA CRV FOR CLUTCH AND AC COMPRESSOR RECALL. PUBLISHED ON JUN 6, 2014 IF YOU OWN A HONDA CR-V BETWEEN 2002 - 2008 THEN YOU WILL ENCOUNTER A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY DUE TO THE LOCATION AND OVERHEATING OF THIS PART. NEED HELP. THANKS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CR-V. WHILE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE REMOTE STARTER PER THE DEALER'S INSTRUCTION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, TRAVELING UP A SLIGHT HILL AT 65 MPH. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE POWER, AND THE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED FROM 3K TO ABOUT 5.5K. THE CRV ACCELERATED RAPIDLY, APPROACHING 80 MPH, AND I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL. THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE, AND THE CRV CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO 85 MPH. AT THIS POINT, I MADE SURE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF. I QUICKLY REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG, SO I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES, GENTLY AT FIRST, BUT THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND ACCELERATING THE CRV, SO I HAD TO SMASH ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CRV DOWN TO ABOUT 45 MPH AND EXIT THE INTERSTATE AT A REST AREA. ONCE ON THE OFF-RAMP, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION...
