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

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?

My 2002 Honda EX CR V has 90,000 miles on it. I bought it new and has been a great trouble free car. It has been garaged in Florida, so other then a few paint chips form some of the long distance trips I have taken it on: two times to Utah and Montana and some other long trips to the upper midwest and east coast, the car looks good and the engine purrs smoothly. I am a trying to decide if I should trade it in on a new Cr V or perhaps a Toyota Rav 4. Think the 2002 is maybe worth  $7,500 on a trade in. Plan on another trip out west next summer. Is this car OK to make the trip again or should I trade her in and enjoy a new car. Some say I should just drive it till the wheels fall off. Would like to hear what others should do. My other car is a 2005 Accord EX with 37,00o miles on it.

Replying to: accord1942 (Oct 31, 2009 7:00 am) Most people tend to overestimate repair costs & underestimate depreciation expense when they're doing car ownership math. One more thing. Don't trade your CR-V in when you decide to buy a new car. Sell it privately. You'll be surprised by how quickly your car sells & how much you get for it. Having sold a nearly 12-year-old Accord that wasn't much to look at in just one day, I'm speaking from personal experience. Used Hondas & Toyotas can bring stupid money.

Replying to: berri (Nov 01, 2009 7:02 pm) Moreover, the '02 CR-V is among the used cars that CR recommends in the $8K to $10K price range. If it were my car, I might consider selling it (certainly not trading it in) & buying a new one - but not out of fear of high repair costs. The best reasons for getting rid of it are safety-related. The '02 lacks stability control & curtain air bags, both of which are critically important safety features.
