D Light by sarah76

Hello out there! This is my first time posting! We just bought a 2002 CR-V and we really love it except.... the darn flashing D light! We've had the car for 20 days. We first took it back to the dealership after 10 days becuase of the blinking D light and they changed the Speed sensor. I am now taking it back to the dealership tommorrow (20 days) for the smae problem. The flashing D!!! Does anyone know what it might possibly be? I can't keep going to the dealership every 2 weeks to have it looked at. The car is under warranty so we aren't paying for it. I looked in the manual and it says that the D is an indicator of a possible transmission problem. has anyone had this recurring problem with thier CR-V? What could it be? We are taking it to a Honda dealership (where we bought it) but they just seem clueless!
 
Any info would be appreciated!!

D light as in "Drive" light on the dash to tell you what gear you're in (automatic transmission)?

jcufr,
You are wasting your time if you expect isell to offer any solutions to your problem a the forum title was intended. Check his other responses to this problem for the past year. He is in denial. The forum heading is "PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS." If you read his responses, you might think it was "Denial of Honda Problems." For some reason, he continues to attempt to downplay the problem despite the fact that this exact problem has been floating with the Honda CRV 2WD for quite a while. In Isell's opinion, it is very overblown. I suspect it affects his sales. He makes $ off Hondas. It's his livelihood. I guess you can't blame him for trying. I just wish he would add valuable info to the thread as it is intended. STEVE p.s. Don't forget to register with NHTSA to lodge your complaint.

Yes, the D "drive" light on the dash. It is an automatic. It's really hard it tell it's flashing when it's in drive but easy to see in any other gear.

Berating other members doesn't help find any solutions either. If you don't like a member's posts, just skip down to the next one.
 
Let's try to focus on the CR-V in here please.

Just out of curiosity, how is the warranty on a 2002 still valid? Is this an extended warranty?

It's certified used Honda. It has a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. The standard 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty stil applies also. We also purchased an extended warranty for after the 12 month period.

Re: CRV making noise when during hard/full turn [chong67] by dotyee

My 2005 CRV is around 10 months old. After 6 months of use, I noticed an intermittent humming noise when making a hard full turn at slow speeds, usually occurring when turning or when pulling in/out of a driveway or parking spaces. I can't pinpoint the location, I think it's coming from the front or middle of the car.
 
I brought it to my dealership for service a month ago and they adjusted my transmission brackets. However, the problem has not been solved and I still hear the noise.
 
I just brought it back to the same dealership, went on a test drive and the technician was able to duplicate the noise once. However, after a day they told me that they are unable to pinpoint the noise or problem and that I should keep driving until the noise becomes more consistent, then bring it in again.
 
Has anyone else experienced this problem with their CRV or other Honda vehicle? A friend of mine has a relatively new Element and has noticed the same noise, once again after the first year of owning the car.
 
Any suggestions or recommendations? Should I try a different Honda dealership? Are they stringing me along until my warranty ends? I have 15,000 miles left on my warranty and want to get this resolved before I have to get it fixed out of my pocket.

It sounds like the rear differential fluid needs to be changed. Try this:
 
1. find an empty parking lot
2. roll down the drivers window and stick your head out
3. drive slowly straight ahead
4. drive slowly in a tight circle to the left
 
Do you hear the noise when turning left, but not when going straight? If you do, have the rear differential fluid changed. Use only Honda Dual Pump Fluid if you change it yourself.
 
The same may be true of your friend's Element.
 
If the noise doesn't completely disappear after changing the rear differential fluid have it changed a second time, as sometimes it takes a couple of fluid changes to eliminate the noise. Despite what your owners manual says, you probably need to have the rear differential fluid changed very 30,000 miles or so.
 
Good luck.

I owned a 2001 CRV (note that I said owned). I bought the car new in 2001 from a reputable Honda dealership. The first 4 years of driving were good, except for at 12,000 miles they had to replace the Master Brake Cylinder. As of about 6 months ago, the car started to "hickup" when stopped at traffic lights, I took the car in to the dealership and after 2 days of diagnostic they could not find anything wrong with the car, and said the car did not "hickup" for them. Of course, as soon as I drove off of the lot it started "hickuping" again. with the odometer at 92,000 miles, 4 weeks ago, the check engine light came on, I took the car in and they reset the check engine light, saying that it could be an o2 sensor or the gas cap. A week later the light came on again, this time they said that it might be a cylinder head but that they would replace a coil, distributor cap and rotor button to see if it would fix the problem. Less than a week later the light came on again, this time the engine started to surge when the car was in park and studdering when the accelerator was lifted when on the highway. (Very scary!) This time they told me that I would need a new cylinder head! at a cost of $3300. I am writing this because I want others to know to be very careful when the check engine light comes on. Now of course, in the very beginning of this email I said owned, which of course means that I have since traded the CRV for another vehicle.
