I have a 1999 honda cr-v with approximately 120k miles on it. The #4 cylinder has low compression due to a burned exhaust valve. The owner's manual fails to state that the valves need to be checked every 15k miles (honda has acknowledged the misprint but fails to assist in repair costs). The vehicle idles very low and stalls occasionally, putting me and my family at risk. *tr

I began experiencing a misfire during idle in my 99 honda crv about a year ago. I took the car to the dealer and he said my fuel injectors were bad and charged me approx.$750 to replace. I continued to have the problem so i did a tune up on the vehicle. This still did not solve the problem. I brought the car back to the dealer and he said he could not find anything wrong with the car and it was missing because i did…

After 112,000 miles my 1999 honda cr-v check engine light came on. Shortly thereafter the engine was running rough resulting in a burned exhaust valve and $1200 valve job. Acording to honda maintenance schedule it is suggested the valve clearances be inspected at 105,000 mi. As this is such a critical item the honda should make the consumer "painfully aware" of this problem to avoid high cost repairs, especially…

Honda crv burned vavle. Many crv owners of 1998 and 1999 have reported the same problem. Honda mechanic had stated that this is a manufacturer defect. The valve was installed too tight causing friction and eventually burned the valve. Honda corp. Is not claming any responsiblity for this problem anymore. The cut off date that honda would have covered the repair cost was approximately 2 months ago from today 12/9/03…

With 57k miles and all recommended maintenance, my honda crv had a burnt exhaust valve on the #3 cylinder. In researching this problem, i found several similar complaints all referring to the #3 cylinder and the valve tightness from the factory. If honda realized this may be a problem, could they have not adjusted these valves during regular maintenance? I'm not happy in paying for a repair that honda could have…

My mom's 1999 honda crv had to undergo several valve jobs from different dealers when it had under 75,000 miles because there were so many problems with the engine. Numerous costs totaled over $2000. Contacted honda, but there weren't any recalls, or known problems at the time. Seems like a lot of other crv's are having the same problem though. Shouldn't honda fix this problem by sending out a recall as it is not…

Consumer stated that his 1999 crv has the same problems as stated in tsb 03-038. *kb ***nar*** the tsb was for poor engine performance due to exhaust valves receding into the cylinder heads. The consumer feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for replacing the faulty parts. *nm
