Poorly Trained Technicians?

I don't understand why it took three days to fix my 2003 Honda CR-V. On the
highway, in the middle of nowhere, the Drive indicator starts flashing and
the Check Engine Light comes on. I made it to a small town Honda Dealer who
told me it was a code P1075 (Range Switch Short). He cleared the code and
told me to keep an eye on it . . .eventually; I get home with the Check
Engine Light on, and the S.R.S. light on. I take it to the big city dealer
who also clears the code and says the same useless thing. As soon as I get
to my driveway, the Check Engine Light comes on again. I return to the
incompetent dealer and request they fix it right. three days later, they
eventually replaced the Trans Range Switch. Who was to know that owning a
Honda could be so frustrating? Are there technicians poorly trained, or are
the vehicles too complicated to figure out?

crappy dealers who didnt want to bother fixing the problem, when they
could reset the light and send you on your way to another dealer.

 

At least they didn't charge you $100 to reset the light, like my dealer tried
to do.

Imagine my surprise when this dealer was named by AAA as one of best garages.

read the honda service manual sometime, clear the code, if it
doesn't come back it's an intermittent failure and return it to the
customer.
as for the guy that thinks 80,000 miles is the magic number, that
only applies to the cat. converter.

Recently I had a blocked EGR. This was also turning on my check engine
light with a mis-fire code. It took six visits to the Honda dealer to
correct the problem.

 

***Guess what, after 1 week my CR-V is doing the same thing. I'm off to the
dealer again. This is nuts! Replacing the Range Switch did not work!

 

That DTC is caused because the PCM is receiving two shift position
inputs at the same time. Aftermarked alarms, remote starter devices,
or starter interrupt devices that are connected to the shift position
circuits; can (will) cause this DTC. Otherwise you are chasing a
short to ground on a shift position input.


Yes and yes...

 

I have no alarms, remote starters, or anything like that. I added no
aftermarket accessories whatsoever! In fact, I was told today that on
Tuesday they will replace my entire computer!
