Had a spark plug come out while driving on the highway. Car was drivable, but was down on power (duh) and *loud*. Plug was lost, coil was destroyed, and the threads were wrecked.

After buying a new plug and coil and discovering that the new plug would not thread in I bought the Helicoil spark plug thread repair kit. Seems to be working fine. I was the last one in there, replaced the plugs at least 30k miles ago, so this was pretty surprising. Glad I didn't need to take the head off!

Honda has had an ongoing problem with Red and Black paint on their vehicles. Our 2003 CR-V has had the sealant coming off for the past several years now. Honda USA refused to do anything about it. My local dealer did notice same problem on a number of Hondas they have been servicing. They agreed to pay more than 1/3 of the cost for a Honda OEM complete paint job on our vehicle. Paint shop said it would take approx. 3 weeks, car had to be stripped down to bare metal and then paint and applications etc would follow just as if car was being painted at Honda factory. I was told this was a silent recall by another paint shop, from a manager whos daughter had same make, model and year car I have. He kicked up some dust and Honda paid for the entire paint job. I was not so lucky, but I am not complaining either. I have a niece who has a 2013 CR-V, Black in color and it is having the same problems with the paint as our 2003...

Engine light went off and dealer diagnoised the problem as a stuck valve stem and the fix was replacing the engine, $4000. Honda came across with 1500, Brighton Honda came into the deal with another $1500 and I threw in the last $1000 for the engine rebuild. I'll be selling the CRV in the next couple months as I don't have the long term security I want in a car
