Unfortunately, too many political leaders and Congressional members are lawyers, so I don't see things getting better until we've really dug a deep hole full of doo-doo.
 
You are absolutely correct. You can see how "failed lawyers" aka politicians are approaching the current health care reform, rather than revisit the tort issue, which is the core of the problem, they are going to destroy what we have and give us a system similar to VA/Medicare/Medicaid system which has long waits and limited coverage.
 
Rather than come down hard on the "ambulance" chasers, they are going about it in some illogical and convoluted way.
 
When I graduated with BS in Pre-Med, I sat down and wrote down what it would have cost to become a doctor.
 
Med school: the cheapest one was a SUNY Downstate for $275,000 for the whole program.
Residency: first 3 years of my post med school life would have been 80-120 hours a week for $60,000a year.
Post residency: I would have been lucky to land a job that paid $200,000/year, but I would have also had to carry my owm MALPRACTICE INSURANCE at $125,000/year.
 
So, between the $275,000 school loan and $125,000 I would have been no better than doing what I do now....
 
Needless to say, I am not a doctor, and I am happy about the descision I made more than 10 years ago.

If you want to change your political oil, please put a bucket underneath and catch it rather than dump it on the floor.
This forum is about cars.

CRV fires - no politics by theriver

I think Lawyers are the only ones who win, since we are all going to pay for it with high purchase prices and Honda's unwillingness to do good will warranties. Really?
 
I disagree totally - if Honda had done the good will warranty originally it would have cost them WAAAY less than this settlement. Lets' say they replaced EVERY car that had the fire 100% when it happened. I think there were only a hundred or so - so 100 X 20K = 2 million total.
 
I know two people who had this happen - Honda blew it on this one -plain and simple.
 
PS I am not part of any settlement.

Honda told dealers to replace filters on all incoming CR-V's and Elements when they found the root cause.
 
But, the primary level of defence is the oil changer. It is his/her job to make sure the filter gasket was removed when the filter was removed.

Honda CRV 2000 passenger door power locks don't work by michael7177

Honda CRV 2000 passenger door power locks don't work. The drivers side power lock button (silver) works but no longer triggers the others. Turning the exterior key no longer opens the others. Flipping up the passenger side button no longer opens the others. Could it be a simple fuse or circuit breaker that needs fixing?

HONDA CRV TIRE WARRANTY QUESTION by coco100
Aug 16, 2009 (11:06 am)
Reply
i purchased a 2007 Honda Certified CRV-EX-L from my honda dealer 4 months ago - it had 14,500 miles on it. I've put about 4000 mostly highway miles on it and I've just checked the tires and the front two are 2/32nds. Back ones are slightly better. I've had 4 Hondas of different styles and never had to replace tires this early. I need information and ideas from anyone out there. The dealer offered me 4 tires at 10% over cost (Nokia) but I still have to pay for labor etc. Good deal or not?

Our CRV had horrible Bridgestone Duelers that only gave us a bit over 20K before replacing, plus quickly deteriorating ride and traction. However, it seems like mediocre, if not poor tires come as OEM on a lot of vehicles these days. If you're going to keep the car, I'd just pony up for a good set of Michelin, or upper tier Goodyear tires. We put Michelin Harmony on our CRV and what an improvement. Have over 40K on them and they still look and drive good. When we bought a new Toyota, we immediately found a tire dealer that would take the new Bridgestones it came with in trade for a better brand (IMO) product. Never looked back and I think it was a smart move since we'd probably have had problems on the OEM and dumped them down the road anyway, but without any trade in credit (and we checked prices before hand to make sure the replacement tires weren't pumped up in price to offset the trade in allowance).

Always shop Tirerack.com...you will learn about tires that are right for your car and your needs. The contact patch is the only thing between you, your loved ones and the road.
 
Choose wisely, Grasshopper! And don't strecth the mileage. Remember, tires have a shelf life and always check the mfg. date on the inside sidewall when you buy. This should be very recent of your purchase or fughedaboudit!

Unfortunately, my 2005 CR-V had only 33K miles on it when the OEM tires got down to 2/32nds and had to be replaced. I was a little surprised and a little disappointed, but that is the ONLY disappointment I have had with my CR-V. Clearly Honda puts crummy, low-end OEM tires on their CR-Vs, but they make a superb vehicle and, overall, I remain well pleased. Will buy another one later on.
