Once the battery gets toasted the system is constantly charging a battery it never uses. My 1998 Taurus gets better gas mileage than the 2006 Hybrid. Disgusting and I will NEVER own another Honda.

CR-V safety recall

With Honda's transmission track record I'm afraid to not let them do this to protect my warranty. I am more concerned about the "product update" which wasn't mentioned by the other posters. This one scares me because the CR-V does not have any power to spare and this seems like it may involve a de-tuning. Here is what the notice says: What is the problem? On some 2010 CR-Vs, the fuel injector timing and VTC timing at cold start may create deposits on the oil control rings that could contribute to increased oil consumption. The dealer will update the powertrain control module (PCM) software. Does anyone have any further info on this, or has anyone let them do it? Until I get convinced they are not going to cost me power or responsiveness I'm not going to let them do it. On the other hand if if somehow increases power I'll get to my friendly dealer tomorrow. (BTW my "power" gripe is only from dead stop to 10 mph) |
