“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2009 HONDA CR-V. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 133,000 and at the time of running the VIN on carfax, it was discovered that the mileage was 314,000.”

“My front passenger seat weight sensor is faulty and shows as "OFF" when a large passenger is in the seat. An independent service center has scanned and confirmed the faulty sensor. I see CRV recalls for both the sensors and airbags, but my VIN does not return a result.”
