“I bought my car certified preowned from capitol Honda in san jose. I was assured that the car had never been in an accident and it was a lease turn in. I had my airbags replaced last year and last week I rear ended a car and my car was totaled and the airbags never went off. I hit pretty hard. The report from my insurance is where I found out it had been in two accidents and was a rental. I should have been privey to that information when I was a shopper.”

“2017 crv awd 2 months into owning all lights on dash like brake system engine air bags, tirer, brake. I see spots of oil driveway but oil is always full. Stalls sometimes when taking off. The other day the back wheels locked up causing the SUV to stop in middle of road, and couldnt move forward or backwards. The SUV swag side to side causing backend to slide sisde to side. Making it very hard to keep the SUV on the road. I have called about the dash lights all of them on and they said it needed to be rest. Smell gas inside the SUV. …”

“My mother and I traveled to visit my daughter that lives 3 1/2 hours away. My mother sat in the passenger seat for the 7 hour trip up and back. The amber or yellow light on the dash passenger airbag off was lighted the entire time that my mother was sitting in the passenger seat. Admitted she only weighs 100 lbs and is 86 years old, but she is clearly an adult and should be protected by an airbag deploying in case of a serious crash. The airbag deploying in a crash could literally mean the difference between life and death.”

“I purchased this CR-V new from the Honda dealership in sarassota, fl in feb 2017. O/s srs light keeps coming on. It is an intermittent problem. When it comes on, it stays on until the car is turned off. This has been going on for at least 3 months. I had started taking pictures of the actual meter panel speedometer with the o/s srs light on every day to show the frequency and magnitude of this issue. On 11/11/17, stored codes were deleted a few times at bradenton, fl dealership with no success. System operating as designed is what I was told by Honda dealership. …”
