I have a 1999 CRV and I took that vehicle in for check engine light and idling problems back in 2004, I had 83,000 miles, the dealership adjusted the valves.... that was in June. Then the Factory Service Bulletin came out in Nov of 2004.... and as bad luck would have it the vehicle was back into the dealership in Dec of 2004.... after the bulletin... they didn't catch that it was the cylinder, they told me that the re-formulated gas in our area had fouled the injectors..... so now for 2 1/2 years my wife and I have been driving it around with the engine light coming on and we
could never figure out why. Well, the cylinder finally ceased because of the inherent problem, and now Honda does not want to stand behind their product.... they have admitted there is a problem by issuing a Technical Service Bulletin back in 2004 and now they are unwilling to cover my blown engine... and while I'm on the subject.... if you ever get an opportunity to by an extended warranty from Warranty America.... refuse it.... they too will find any way out of paying..... case in point.... they said they wouldn't cover my repair because the valve seat had recessed into the
head.... they say they don't cover valve seats.... but the coverage says they cover valves..... make sense?.... not to me it didn't.....
