- while stopped at a traffic light the contact put the 2002 Honda CR-V into park and then switched the gear back to drive, but the shift locked into gear and would not switch over to drive. The contact had experienced the failure 3 times this year. The contact took vehicle to the dealership, and they replaced a fuse. The contact was not sure which fuse they replaced because he did not have a copy of the invoice. The failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 52,000. Update

Transmission problems, vehicle hard to shift. The consumer received a recall notice regarding the automatic transmission shift cable. The consumer took the vehicle to have the repair made, in which is was supposedly completed the same day, however on Aug 9th 2004, the vehicle accelerated from a parked position and crashed into a wall. The consumer did not believe the recall was performed completely, however the dealer stated otherwise.

Prior to turning over 50,000 miles, the transmission failed. While driving down the interstate, the vehicle shuddered and began making a whine. Pulled over immediately and heard the sound of metal pieces rolling around in the transmission no matter what gear vehicle was in. No warning light indication had occurred. Had the vehicle towed to Honda dealer and mechanic stated that the torque converter had failed and the transmission needed to be replaced. Manufacture warranty had expired, estimated cost was 3500 for part and 700 for labor. I feel it should be covered by Honda since a failure should not have occured this soon in the lifespan of the vehicle.

My 2002 Honda CRV has only been serviced by Honda dealerships. All maintanence has been performed according to their schedule, yet just after 50,000 miles the dealer says my transmission needs replacement. I was driving at 30 mph and accelerated to pass a car when the vehicle violently shuddered. I pulled over immediately to check the car and found no leaking fluid, no warning lights, but the sound of metal pieces rolling around the transmission when I depress the gas...even with the vehicle in "park." After so many recalls on this vehicle, not to mention other problems that ocurred and were repaired during the warranty, I do not feel confident in my purchase of this vehicle. If a transmission failure of this type were to occur at high speeds, loss of control could have resulted in a crash. Thank goodness traffic was light when this happened!

This is the 3rd recall on my 2002 Honda CR-V. the 1st was for the power-train-automatic transmission, the 2nd for electrical system-ignition switch, and now it's for the CR-V A/T shift cable. The whole car seems faulty. What are my rights as a consumer" shouldn't they just give me a new car"

Consumer states while vehicle was parked and without any indication it rolled backwards. The mechanic informed the consumer the shift cable was dirty which may have caused the vehicle to roll.

- Brookfield, WI, USA

Twice in the first 6 weeks I have reached for the radio controls and have accidently gotten the sleeve of my coat caught on the gear shifter causing me to shift into neutral from drive. My concern is if this could further and put the vehicle into reverse. This could cause and accident with injuries as well as doing damage to the transmission.
