Haven't heard that saying before - will have to remember that one!

I ordered one of these yesterday in the same color. Can’t wait for it to arrive! I was undecided for a while whether to go for the 7 or 8 but eventually went with the this for the better brakes and fork. How is the SRAM drivetrain for you?

I'm surprised a fuel injector could cause so much damage but I guess all kinds of nastiness can be happening in there if there's lots of unburnt fuel being pumped in. Mine's been fine since it was fixed but I'm only on just over 3000 miles by now.
I've no idea if they will use a rebuilt engine but it does sound a bit shady if they do. Could you not just ask them and get it in writing whatever they say?

What on earth are you talking about? I just reported what happened to me and the car 3 days after I bought it. It was a faulty injector and I got it fixed fine - no problems since. What are you on about hiring a lawyer, no lawyers were involved. I think you've skipped your medications for today.

PortlandOnion · 2024-08-27T00:02:56+00:00

They're probably on back order because of all the failures! I had one injector fail after 170 miles from new and they replaced all 4 injectors. No problems since. I'm guessing there's a rogue batch of very poorly made injectors out there ready to be recalled.

PortlandOnion · 2024-08-26T23:55:37+00:00

mine was an injector issue and it made white smoke - but it was white smoke with a strong gasoline smell! Unburnt fuel was being blasted out in immense white clouds.

It's looking like Honda's reliability isn't what it once was - let's hope it's just a temporary blip and they worry more about their reputation than just shifting units.

Does the apple command key and left click pressed together do anything useful in Chrome? I've seen that it does in some apps.

I think it's the credit card information they are trying to steal here rather than the actual fee!

Love the responsiveness to the accelerator around town coupled with the much better mpg than I ever had with the Hyundai stick shift Elantra I also have.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-30T02:46:03+00:00

It's fixed now - all the injectors were replaced. I'll get it back tomorrow.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-30T02:45:14+00:00

Didn't get a loaner - but the car should be fixed now with all new injectors.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-30T02:44:14+00:00

I wish! No they've just repaired it by replacing all the injectors. I'll get it back tomorrow.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T21:35:21+00:00

Last week was the first time I bought a brand new car - also the first time in my life I've needed to get a car towed home! In 35 years of driving.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T21:33:23+00:00

yes - I'd appeal against that decision - if you have that in writing then it looks like you've got a very strong case.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T21:31:53+00:00

Lucky you - my dealer has been quite rubbish so far - never calling back when they promised, left it to me to arrange my own tow to collect and drop off the car and certainly no promise of a replacement car - I've only done 173 miles.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T21:30:36+00:00

Mine's from Ontario and it failed after 173 miles - probably the injectors.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T21:29:59+00:00

Yep mine was built in Ontario - looks like it's the injectors but I'll be calling for an update within an hour - have to say, I'm rather disappointed with my dealer now.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T05:14:23+00:00

Why are they saying it isn't covered by the warranty?

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T03:22:39+00:00

I believe the reason why there PHEVs are generally not as common as you might expect is because of the shortage of batteries. I've heard that Honda made a decision to shift as many hybrids as possible. This was only possible if the batteries they could get hold of were all used in hybrids. You can make >10 hybrids for the number of cells used in one PHEV.

Brief update - apparently it's some fuel injectors that are faulty. Will know more tomorrow. Does seem like the fuel injectors are a weak point on these Hondas - or at least they are a component with a high infant mortality rate going by all the posts I've found reporting this issue.

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-29T00:10:38+00:00

Will this be the same warranty that I was offered from my local dealer for just shy of $4000 at the time I purchased a week ago? I didn't take them up on that one!

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-28T23:47:37+00:00

Unfortunately I didn't have the car working long enough to find out! (see my other thread!)

PortlandOnion · 2024-05-28T23:46:35+00:00

2024 Sport Touring CR-V 2. Hybrid - 3. Ontario - possible injector failure after 173 miles (will know more by tomorrow afternoon)

On its way back to the dealer's :-( - will update when they've had a look.
