CR-V EX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,000 miles

I have a Honda CRV 2002 with 58,000 miles.
For 6 months now, the engine light has been intermittent. Kept going back to have it checked. Several times I was told there was nothing. At one point I was told it was the rear O2 sensor and had it replaced. Then it was the front O2 sensor and had it replaced. A couple of weeks ago it was the Throttle Body Assembly. Had it replaced along with yet another front O2 sensor and was told it was fixed. 3 Days later the engine light came back on. This time they say it is a Rotary Valve assembly not associated with the Throttle they had just replaced. This will take another $400. I took it elsewhere and they said it is a Solenoid that attaches to the Rotary Valve Assembly. Paid $164 for that to be replaced earlier this week. Once again, the light is back to haunt me.
Not only has the engine light been coming on, the cruise control is intermittent, and the AC fan is intermittent- and no one can find the problem! I was told my problem with the cruise control was that I needed to turn it on first! I am an engineer working on Aircraft engines! I know how to work a cruise control!

How can a vehicle with so little miles on it have so many problems? I've owned many Hondas before and ended up selling them at 150,000+ miles without having problems them!

How can a 45,000 mile car have a failed throttle body?
