I had a 2005 CRV before I totaled it last week. I also bought a bike rack that fit into the trailer hitch and fit around the spare tire. I think it's a Yakima. It works well for 4 bikes.

I wouldn't recommend 4 bikes attached to the spare tire as I believe the spare tire isn't structuraly attached. It is just attached to the exterior sheet metal. If you do some search on the forums I'm sure that you will be able to find the posts that explain it better.

Too bad you didn't get an extended warranty. They don't cost a lot for Hondas, because what happened to you isn't common.

I can't believe you said that, there is an entire forum about Gen 2 compressor failures! Yes, I suppose statistically it may be uncommon out of the many units built, but these failures are apparently due to a design problem with the compressor. I don't find A/C Compressor failure forums for other makes!

2002 CR-V steering pump chatter/noise by ppc582
Sep 26, 2009 (1:47 pm)

My 110 K mile, 2002 CR-V's steering pump has been making a rattling or chattering noise. I flushed and replaced the entire steering system with new 'Honda' fluid. No change. I also replaced the pump (albeit with a salvage pump); however the same noise or rattle continued right away. The last thing I did was to replace the belt and belt tensioner... this time the noise seemed to go away for about a day---however it came back as before.
    This problem seems to have no ill steering effect, and as far as I can tell, the car steers as it did when it was brand new. The rattling is stronger or more pronounced when increasing the load on the pump... as when turning steering wheel at a stop or at slow driving speeds.... or when reaching the stops of the steering range.
 
    Is there a pump pressure adjustment somewhere? Could the problem be coming from another part of the steering system? I don't mind getting a new pump (not one from a salvage yard) if the problem is the pump for sure. I hate to spend the $ if there is a chance that it could be something else.
 
Thanks,
George

Just a thought,,,,,,are you sure it is not the rear differential chattering ? It will grown or chatter when turning especially when turning tight or near steering stops limits.
Many, in fact most experience this chatter or grown around 30 to 40 K miles and changing the fluid and burnishing the clutch plates in the differential cures it.
Good luck.

Wheel bearing by mycrv1
Sep 27, 2009 (6:24 pm)

My 2006 CR-V 2WD had 33K miles on it when I began noticing a scraping sound either back or front right, at low speeds. It becomes more audible when turning left. The closest Honda dealer inspected it for $105 and informed me that I will have to pay another $345 to have the rear wheel bearing replaced. I really do not think ANY car's wheelbearing should go out at 33K, let alone a Honda. Though I believe could do a wheel bearing replacement myself, I JUST DO NOT HAVE time! Any advice, anybody?

It's a 2006, but it it past the 3/35 B2B warranty, i.e. is it more than 36 months old?
 
The price actually isn't too bad, I paid over $500 on a Mazda 626.
 
You need a press and special tools, so I say bit the bullet and pay - if you're past warranty.
