Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 19, 2007 2:53 pm) I have been reading and posting on Edmunds for several years and am a big fan of yours as to the advice and honesty of your posts. In fact, if I lived near your dealership I would have purchased my 2007 Honda CRV EXL from you, however; I live in Florida and NJ, so that was out of the question. The Edmunds forums are very informative .... a lot of people that never post...DO POST when they have a problem (certainly a lot more than if they never have a problem). I have to agree with you that of the thousands upon thousands of Hondas sold, most of them ar PROBLEM FREE!!!

I never said problems don't happen. They do with ANY make and model and I never said the problems weren't real. I just said they represented a very small percentage of production.

If we get 50 CarSpace members that have problems with their rear differential, then that is significant. If we get 100 or more that have their A/C compressors fail, that is significant. We are a very small part of the motoring universe. You can't just pull up our forums and start posting... you have to join. If that many people are complaining about a specific problem, you can bet that there is an issue. Just because it hasn't happened or doesn't happen to your CR-V, has no statistical significance at all. As far as your service department? I don't believe they've ever had a problem with any Honda. At least it sure reads that way..  I'm a die-hard Honda fan.. I would recommend a CR-V without reservation.. But, they can have issues, just like any other car... And, if you see a discussion here on CarSpace dedicated to one particular problem, you can bet it's real. No one has the time to post about a problem they don't have. I'm betting against mass hysteria. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums |

Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 20, 2007 2:56 pm) If it requires a trip to the dealer, and an unscheduled service, then it's a defect... No matter how easily it is fixed. Not only that.. anything mechanical that is making an unwelcome noise, that is fixed with a fluid change... would make me nervous. I don't doubt your sincerity, but down-playing someone else's problem is not what anyone needs to hear. These problems aren't "imaginary" (note the quotes). Your honesty is not in question.... No one else's should be, either.. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 20, 2007 3:43 pm) The internet is a powerful tool but it is easy to jump to conclusions and assume minor problems are catastrophic or affect more than a very small percentage of the cars. P.S. I'm the same guy who jumped in when Toyota (my main competition) was being blasted for their "sludge problems"...remember? |

I've been waiting for the '08 EX-L's without Navigation to arrive in Los Angeles. Been working with a few dealers and originally they said they were to receive them in late October, then November. Here we are approaching late November and still no sign of them in any quantity. One dealer told me it looked like they were getting ONE in a few weeks ago, I've e-mailed a few dealers recently and they haven't even responded to the question of when they might receive them. What's the real story with the delay and when are they really scheduled to be available? Thanks.

Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 20, 2007 5:56 pm) Being a Honda employee, what are you hearing as the actual reason for the delay? Is it a parts issue? Why is it just the EX-L's? I haven't been to many dealers in person recently, but I see a TON of ads in the LA Times Sunday paper for Honda dealers touting plenty of LX's. Why are the EX-L's in particular so delayed?
