What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belt failed to secure the contact on impact. The contact stated that the a-pillar where the seat belt was attached became separated. A police report was filed. The contact suffered injuries to the collar bone, head, and a pinched nerve above the hairline, which required medical attention.
After three service attempts by the honda dealer to correct the car not tracking straight, I had a local alignment shop install rear camber adjusting kits. Car did not track straight, prior to installing the after-market kits, the car would continually drift left. The dealer now states the warranty is void because I put non-honda parts on the car. When I called the dealer parts department, they have the same after market rear camber kit.
