Bought new Honda CRV in may of 2004. On September 26, 2004 while driving the vehicle, it burst into flames. It only had 6,500 miles on it. Vehicle was damaged beyond repair. Honda will not claim responsibility and said that it was not a warranty issue, although they have never even seen the vehicle.

I just recieved my first oil change at shockley Honda in frederick Maryland on my Honda CRV. After driving for about 2 miles my car started to smoke out the back. When I stopped the vehicle, flames shout the hood of my vehicle. The engine compartment was on fire. I called the fire department. The dealer did replace some of the burnt parts in the engine compartment but did not replace the wiring harness. Had to buy a new CRV because of this damage. I had substantial expenses not remimbursed by Honda.
