Cruise control stopped working. Switch near door jam no longer lights. I checked fuse "Meter" and it is o.k. Is there another fuse to check? |

I let my boyfriend drive my brand new CRV while his car was being repaired. He drove it for about a month. I only had the CRV for a little over a month and totally babied it. It ran quiet and smooth and I loved it. Since his driving it, the car now runs very loud. When the steering wheel is straight the car goes left no matter what kind of road I'm on. It shakes and vibrates hard moving or just sitting at a red light. I had taken the car to dealership 2 times and they don't want to help me. I asked if the car needed and alignment, they said no.They said my car is making normal vibrations and gave me some silly story about my having stuff in my cupholdlers making the normal vibration seem worse than it is. I think they just don't want to fix my car. I'm a woman, and yes, know very little about cars, But what I do know is my car is messed up. They balanced my tires both times for me and just hoped I would go away. My boyfriend is the type to deny deny deny no matter what,.he claims nothing happened while he drove it.. but the entrance into my community where I live is a grade that if you are unaware of it, you will be airborn if you hit it hard and fast. Most everyone who is unaware of it does. I know he was unaware of it because I just moved here and he never drove here because his car was being repaired and I did all the driving. He made a statement a week ago that the entrance is really hard on the front end of a car if you don't know about it and it was like his confession to me without admitting that's what he had done. Another thing he does and I just never noticed until he was driving my CRV, is that he drives with two feet. Gas-right foot, brake-left foot. Another thing that happened was we were on a road trip and it was raining very hard the whole way and he drove. When we got to where we were going, I took over driving and something happened where we lost brakes for a couple seconds at a red light and the CRV made a crunching sound. We drove to a gas station and he checked under the hood and said the transmission fluid was low and he proceeded to go into store at gas station and bought transmission fluid and put it in. I don't know what kind of Transmission fluid, but it was something at a convenience store/gas station. I'm not sure, but was told that he checked the transmission fluid wrong and the way he did it, it would read empty when really it wasn't. Can someone please help me figure out what he did to the car so that I can take it back and tell them to check for something specific instead of them telling me nothing is wrong? Thanks for your help! |

Hi, I bought 2008 CR-V in April 08, and I am driving it occasionally. It only has 3000 miles by now. And the oil life is at 80%. Should I go for oil change, or wait for it to drop down below 20%? Thanks for suggestions.

Replying to: jpcanavera (Jan 11, 2009 1:31 pm) I really think that just didn't respect my vehicle and went too fast over that grade that I had mentioned. I wouldn't waste anybody's time here in asking the things that I asked. I am just really at my wits end and know very little about cars in general. SO to make a long story short, I knew this guy for 30 years and we were the best of friends when we were young kids until we graduated high school. I went away to college, he joined the army. We lost touch for 24 years and reconnected. We started up a relationship and he completely misrepresented himself and how established he was. The guy is a 43 year old teenager who has become a professional moocher. He was one of the ones that you would have expected to have grown into a very decent man. He lied his way into my life and it has been a hell that you can not imagine.He not only disrespected my honda, he has ruined things in my home. I am having a hard time getting him out of my home. You see, we lived in different states and he moved here and moved in... and was supposed to only stay until he got an apartment of his own. That has been since the beginning of August. It is like I have a 43 year old teenage son who doesn't want to work, doesn't contribute to the bills, he has ruined things that can't be fixed or repaired and all he cares about is having food and a roof over his head. He is moving no matter what sob story he tells me on the 24th of Jan and I don't care if he has to sleep in his car. He is out of here. This is the hugest mistake I have ever made and I based my decision on having grown up with him and how he represented himself and the fact that he was only supposed to stay with me until he found an apartment of his own. It was all BS. He wants a woman to take care of him and he wants to work meaningless jobs to have money in his pocket. He came to the wrong woman expecting that. He has ripped my financial life in shreds and I am trying to pick the pieces up and fix what I can. I really want my car to be fixed and I am getting a complete run around from these mechanics at the dealership where I bought the car. I am going to take it to another dealership but I want to go in there and tell them to check this that or the other. I did tell the other dealship I thought my car needed a front end alignment and all they told me was to always have all 4 done.. not just the front. The car pulls something awful to the left and is loud and shakes.Everything I mentioned in the original post is 100 percent accurate. Can someone help me?

Replying to: dontknowathing (Jan 11, 2009 9:13 pm) That is all the more reason to worry! Off roading in designated areas is generally safer than off roading in makeshift areas. he is soon to be my X-boyfriend I had to resist the temptation to offer personal advice regarding your original posting but I will say that I think you are making a wise decision.  Good luck! tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |
