I'm halfway to my first oil change fire and have a question. When I start up in a parking lot, proceed a short distance, then lightly apply the brakes to slow down, I hear a click from the rear of my 2004 LX CR-V. It also seems to occur if I'm starting up an incline after being stopped, and then, again, lightly apply the brakes to slow down. Each time I can't be going much more than 5 or 10 mph, and the click may be coming when I release the brake pedal after lightly applying it to slow down. The click is not the transmission lock-out solenoid (mentioned earlier in this forum), which I've become accustomed to hearing. It sounds and feels like it's coming from the right-rear. Anything I should keep an eye on before I take it for the first oil change in another 6 weeks?

Replying to: lsattle (Nov 08, 2004 5:48 am) Anyone have any ideas on how we can push Honda to release the dual pump fluid specs so the real lube companies like Amsoil or Royal Purple can recommend a replacement fluid? Letters, emails, whatever? |

Replying to: stevengordon (Nov 06, 2004 1:42 pm) Now that I think about it, I recall bringing my Civic in for the same problem a long time ago and received the same photocopied Honda page about the problem being "normal" and that the service tech could put a business card in the brake to demonstrate something. One question: has anyone who kept the click/clunk (that is, did nothing to try to fix it) had any problems down the road with the brakes? |

During my last visit to the dealership (July.04 Keenan Honda, Doylestown, PA) they fixed me that "click problem" for free. I do not have this annoying "click" anymore. I did not ask them to do it. I do not remember if it was a "recall" or smth else. But I may check my paperwork for you if you want... .

Replying to: lsattle (Nov 08, 2004 5:48 am) That said, you should contact Honda and inquire about having the repairs covered as a good will gesture. In ideal (laboratory) conditions, the fluid is apparently good for 90K miles. In the real world, it should be changed every 40-50K. Honda's manual describes only a 90K interval. Use that fact (politely) as a reason for having them cover repairs. They might pay for parts, while you cover labor, or something like that. But it's like I wrote above. By ignoring the problem for a year you've turned a quick maintenance item into an expensive repair. They may not have much sympathy for you.  Good luck! |

Replying to: varmint (Nov 04, 2004 10:37 am) Still am shocked the Honda is not sending us a letter on this. Such an easy fix for something that could cost hundreds of dollars to fix. I'm a bit concerned that my rear differential is somewhat worn out from me going so long with this condition. |
