POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
THIS IS A 2007 HONDA CRV_EX-L. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE CRV. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT BUT IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. STARTED HAVE A NOISE PROBLEM WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THE DIFFERENTIAL LUBRICANT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $125. DEALER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH CAR HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY, BECAUSE IT WAS PAST 36 MONTH. SERVICE REP SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE ADVISORY POSTED INTERNALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SAID THE LUBRICANT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES, EVEN THOUGHT THE MANUAL SAY 60,000. NO NOTIFICATION WAS SENT TO OWNERS OF THIS ADVISORY. HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AND SERVICE REP DID NOT KNOW. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE SIDE VISIBILITY ON MY 2007 HONDA CRV IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OF THE NUMEROUS VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS. REGARDLESS OF HOW I SET THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, I HAVE NEARLY CAUSED COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THE 'BLIND SPOT.' BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF THIS DESIGN DEFICIENCY, I AM AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE WHEN CHANGING LANES, I USE MY SIGNAL, LOOK IN THE MIRROR, TURN MY HEAD AND THEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AGAIN. NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE OTHER VEHICLES. IF THERE IS SOME DEVICE THAT CAN BE ADDED TO THE CAR I WOULD SUGGEST DOING SO. *TR

POWER TRAIN, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
WE ARE A TWO CAR OWNERSHIP FAMILY AND ONE OF THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 HONDA CRV AND AROUND 40,000 MILES THE CAR BEGAN VIBRATING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 38 TO 43 MPH. CONTACTED MY HONDA DEALER, LEE HONDA, AND THEY ARE VEHEMENT IN STATING THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH CRV AND THE VIBRATION MAYBE DUE TO DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDING FLUSHING. ALSO DEALER STATED IT MAY BE DUE TO FRONT-END ALIGNMENT. NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED, FRONT-END ALIGNMENT DONE AND WHAT WAS AN INFREQUENT OCCURRENCE IS NOT AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. HONDA DEALER IS STILL ADAMANT IT MAYBE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDING FLUSHING. MY PERSONAL MECHANIC HAS FOUND THE BULLETIN THAT REFERENCES THE NEED TO FLUSH THE DIFFERENTIAL, POSSIBLY TWICE. WHY ARE THEY SIMPLY NOT UPFRONT WITH THEIR PROBLEM AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE. AFTER SEVERAL UNSATISFIED CONVERSATION WITH THE DEALERSHIP,I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC DO THE WORK ON 9/1/2010 AND LEAVE THE HONDA DEALER CHATTING ABOUT "IT'S NOT A HONDA ISSUE" TO HIMSELF. WHAT POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP HONDA ADVERTISES THE DEALERSHIP BY NOT BEING HONEST ABOUT IT'S PROBLEM. IT WILL BE MY LAST HONDA. I AM CURRENTLY SEEKING TO TRADE OUR OTHER VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT BE HONDA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THEN 6 MONTHS, WE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DIFFERENTIAL PER HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A BULLETIN ABOUT THE 2007 DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM AND IT WASN'T UNTIL OUR THIRD VISIT TO DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS HONDA BULLETIN, NOT A RECALL. COULD THESE TWO ISSUES BE RELATED? *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
2007 HONDA CRV REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE BEGAN AT ABOUT30,000 MILES. I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ. THEY TOLD ME THE NOISE WAS DUE TO WEAR OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, THAT IT HAD TO BE CHANGED WHENEVER THE NOISE APPEARED, OR EVERY 20,000 MILES. THEY REPLACED THE FLUID FREE OF CHARGE, AND BURNISHED THE BEARINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE IN THE FUTURE. I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT IT DID NOT DO MECHANICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, NOR WOULD IT IN THE FUTURE. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE SERVICE MANUAL REGARDING THIS SERVICE CHANGE REQUIREMENT. I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CRV OWNERS ON WEBSITES AND BLOGS. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REFERENCE TO "INFERIOR SUBGRADE" REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID USE BY HONDA ON THE SAME VEHICLES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA CRV WITH 55K MILES ON IT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER ND THEY CHARGED US $99 TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THE REPORT STATED THAT A STONE HAD HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEEK IN THE COOLANT. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR TO BE AT LEAST $850 DOLLARS ALTHOUGH, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE ACTUAL REPAIR COST TILL THEY GOT INTO THE REPAIR. WHEN THE AC STOPPED WORKING, NO POSSIBILITY IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ROCK. WE CHECKED ONLINE ONLY TO SEE THIS PROBLEM EXISTS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW WITH NO RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN
2007 HONDA CR-V 4WD, REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE. IT STARTS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING AT SLOW SHARP TURN. I THOUGHT ALL 4WD DRIVE ARE THE SAME. THE DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE NEVER MENTIONED ANY PROBLEM WHEN WE DID REGULAR SERVICE UNTIL IT RAN OUT OF THE WARRANTY. NOW THEY "NOTICED" THE NOISE AND ADVISED US TO CHANGE THE FLUID. I SUSPECTED IF THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM SINCE I STARTED NOTICING IT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I FOUND IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS
I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH WHEN A WOMAN DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE SIDE OF HER CAR. MY SEATBELT RETRACTED AND SAVE ME, HOWEVER THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS HOWEVER A SCENT OF BURNING OR A CHEMICAL REACTION INSIDE THE CABIN. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY AT MORE THAN 10 MPH UPON IMPACT. CLEARLY I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 10-15 MPH. I AM WONDERING IF SOMETHING WAS A MISS. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY CR-V AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 7000 MILES. THE TIRE NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER AS THE MILES GREW. BY 18,000 MILES I COULDN'T TAKE IT AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE CUPPED AND NEEDED REPLACED. I PUT NEW TIRES ON AND HAD IT ALIGNED BY THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET IT IN SPEC AND REPLACED THE REAR SPRINGS. THEY ALIGNED IT, BUT I STILL HAD TIRE NOISE. DEALER SAID I BOUGHT CHEAP ($125/PC) TIRES . THESE TIRES ARE ALSO NOW CUPPED SO BAD AT 50,000 MILES THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THEM, A 70K TIRE WITH ONLY 30K ON THEM. I ALSO SMELL HOT RUBBER ON THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE MUCH LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, AND ONLY THIS TIRE. COINCIDENTLY THIS ONE IS THE CUPPED NOISE MAKER. *TR

TIRES
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CRV WITH 19000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES(CONTINENTAL 225/65 R17) WERE DRYROTTED. I AM 68 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN AUTOMOBILE WHERE THE TIRES WERE DRYROTTED. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THE TIRES ON A 3 YR. OLD VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW FROM HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, N.J., ARE DRYROTTED. I HAVE NOTIFIED TURNERVILLE HONDA AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. JUST DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
