What owners wrote
Was driving down the highway about two months ago, I was shocked or bolted and something went through my body. It was like an electrical shock. Also, my door locks keep opening and closing while I am driving. Its happened a couple times and it has scared me. I don't know if that would have anything to with the shock I received in the vehicle, and something keeps going off in my car, it sounds like a timer.
After having my first oil change and recalled part fixed, on my new 2004 crv, driving back to work, approximately 10 miles from dealership, my vehicle started smoking/fire. I opened hood and a witness told me to move from the car as flames were shooting out from under it.
