Then search the internet with that error code for your vehicle, or the autoparts store can tell you what area of the vehicle the problem is with. This is usually a free service. PepBoys, Autozone, etc

I have the '07 AWD with about 17,000 miles on it. A week ago I noticed that when turning sharply from a stop or when backing out of the driveway and turning sharply there is some rough and slightly jumpy pushback in the steering. It occurs while the wheels are fully turned. The power steering reservoir is full. This is not from overpulling hard on the steering wheel. Anyone here been through this or have an answer? Thought I'd check before beginning the multiple trips to the dealer and working at getting past the "there is no problem" routine.

Replying to: songofruth (Sep 25, 2008 4:00 am) Could the two be related? This is urgent because my DH wants to wisk my car off to get the clutch fixed - to the tune of maybe $800 or higher.... today! To clarify: I can feel that the clutch pedal does not engage the clutch until I have pressed it down a few inches sometimes. There is a very clunky feel to shifting when it's cooperating. Most problems are when the car is at rest though sometimes have a problem downshifting. The timeline: trans. fluid change, 1 day of no driving, 4 days of only driving to and from work, 3 days of no driving - problems on the very next day. His explanation skills are somewhat short. It just seems to me that if changing the transmission fluid could lead to easier shifting, then a bad fluid change lead to problems. Something he won't really entertain. If the clutch needs repair, that's fine. Additional background: I can't remember if the manual transmission fluid has ever been changed before. Ditto clutch fluid. I don't even know if he checks it. Since 2000, my DH has been in charge of maintaining the vehicles. Although he hasn't done it the way I would have wished, it was easier to just let him deal with it than to have the fights about it. Thanks muchly for any info/responses/advice/help. -Melody The two should not be related, unless during the transmission fluid change, they have also attempted to change the clutch fluid. Clutch fluid is just brake fluid and needs to be replaced every 3 years, regardless of mileage. It is very hydroscopic, and will abosrb water. Water will cause corrosion and eventually a clutch failure. What you may have is either too much water in the fluid, or an air bubble. Either of which should be solved by replacing the clutch fluid with Honda DOT 3 fluid and clutch bleeding. |

| A friend of mine has a 2008 Honda CRV with 14000 miles. He says that the dealer told him not to change oil until the red indicator light came on . Does any one know if this is correct.Thanks, Leaneul | |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Oct 02, 2008 9:58 am) The manual says that "If the message ‘‘SERVICE’’ does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every year." |

My wifes 98 CRV has a strange problem. It is in park but the selestor says is in D4...it wont start and you cant get the keys out. Only way to get keys out is to unhook the battery. No matter where you put the gear shift it says D4. Honda service said it was the ignition switch which was replaced by recall in 2002. A Honda mechanic came and looked at it and said it makes no sense to him. Had to have it towed to dealer. Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks
