What owners wrote

I have had two accidents in my 2006 honda crv and the air bags have never gone off. There is obviously a problem, but honda will not admit to it. One accident was in july of 2009, the second november of 2010 I also had to replace all 4 tires at 34,000 miles.....they were rated for 60, 000..... So far I'm not happy with my purchase my second issue is that the heat shield has rusted off, again called honda and they say that it's a routine repair. My honda only has 50, 000 miles on it.

On may 8th, I drove my 2006 honda cr-v home from a restaurant. I traveled about 25 miles per hour in my neighborhood. My honda cr-v suddenly shut off engine and restarted itself. The vsa light, check engine light and one more light came on. I was so scared. On may 10th, I took my car to honda dealer to be checked out. They told me that the vehicle stability assistance (vsa) system failed after I owned the car for four years and at 45000+ miles. Dealer told me it cost $2300 dollars to replace the system.
