"Glad you had a great experience. We appreciate the review."
Here's what happened: I took the car to Airport Honda on Aug. 26 so they could check it out. Since the problem was intermittent, I halfway expected that they wouldn't find a problem, especially given the way they treated me upon arrival. Despite showing them Internet reports of unexpected acceleration in CR-Vs, they said that they had never heard of such a problem. I explained that there's no way I would make this up since it caused me a lot of trouble taking off work and driving 40 miles (round trip) so they could see if they could "replicate" (wink, wink) the problem. The best I could get was a car that functioned properly. After keeping the car for two days, of course they told me the car was fine.
So when it became obvious that the service department was of no use, I tried to trade the car for either a 2016 Pilot or another CR-V, although that prospect scared me somewhat because I didn't know if I could trust another CR-V. They said they'd call me with a trade figure, but they never did as they obviously didn't want the absolutely pristine gray CR-V with the added $500 options of a hood deflector, mud flaps and a sunroof visor -- all genuine Honda parts installed by Airport Honda. I called them back and spoke to Bruce Wayne (no kidding), and he wouldn't provide a trade figure many hours after he said they'd have those numbers in a few minutes.
In the end, I lost several thousand dollars and all respect for American Honda and Airport Honda. Our RAV4 with a conventional six-speed transmission -- not a piece of junk CVT -- is rock solid, and the dealer, Fox Toyota, is perhaps the most honest and best in America. Reports of Honda's decline certainly don't seem to be exaggerated based on my experience. I just hope no one gets killed in a CR-V when it takes off.
They called to inform me of their findings, said they were ordering a new block and the car would be ready early the following week. The car was towed on May 22 and fixed and ready for pickup on the morning of May 26 (i.e. despite a weekend and the Memorial Day holiday.)
They did not offer to pay my tow bill and I did not ask. While it's disappointing that some engines have experienced this problem, I'm thrilled that Honda is standing behind their product and that Airport Honda performed the necessary repairs quickly and without any charges to me. They even covered the cost of one unrelated part for which I had granted permission to ship overnight and charge to me. (Absent the service bulletin, I believe the charges for this type of repair would have been upwards of $3,000 to $4,000.)
I like to drive my cars until they are nearly dead and have rarely felt obligated to have routine maintenance done by a dealership. While I had imagined an expensive repair, this experience at Airport Honda was terrific and an example of great customer service. I can't guarantee I'll buy my next (used) car from them, but I'll certainly be visiting them for necessary servicing and will give them priority when/if I go shopping for my next car.
"Thank you for your review. I'll pass your comments on to our management."
"Thanks for your kind words about our service department. I hope we can continue to assist you in the future."
"Just saw where you were in for service on your 2001 Accord. Hope everything went well."
