What owners wrote
On 1/28/2017 my daughter's 2009 honda crv caught on fire in our driveway and burned until it was a total loss. It only had 87,000 miles on it and seemed to be running perfectly that day. I had driven her car for one hour (a 44 mile trip), returned home, turned off the car, took the keys out of the ignition and went inside the house. About ten minutes later, one of my daughters heard a car alarm, we looked outside and saw flames shooting out of the front of the car.
The car started to leak oil at about 55000 miles. The oil leaks between engine and transmission. The honda dealer checked and said it may be caused by the gallery bolt and seal, the part numbers are 12208-p8c-a01 and 90401-pr4-000 and the transmission has to be removed to replace them, it's 16 hours' work. It's so unreliable and costly to fix.
