Just got back from the dealer and I thought I'd post this info in case it helps or if anyone wants to chime in (I'm replying to my last post about the questions I had revolving around the 30k service on this car). This is my father's 2007 CR-V - it hit 40,232 miles and was down to 5% oil life. I got my local dealer to match a service promo from another dealer in the area - $29.99 for Oil & Filter Change, Tire Rotation, Battery Test & Multi-Point Inspection with Written Report.
Looking at the edmunds maintenance schedule (http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/select.asp), I wanted to have the following done & checked out (assuming I had everything checked and done properly at my last big maintenance point at 30k miles):
Inspect Brake lines, hoses & connections (done? power steering & serpentine checked out, hoses ok - don't see anything for brake line)
Inspect Brakes (done - 8/32 front, 7/32 rear)
Inspect boots & seals Drive axles (dont see this so.. not done?)
Change Engine oil (done)
Inspect Exhaust system (done)
Inspect Fluid levels (done)
Inspect Fuel lines & hoses (partially done? I see a check mark for radiator hoses, heater hoses, power steering hoses, and air conditioning hoses)
Lubricate Hinges, locks & latches (no mention of this so.. not done. Nothing for Fuel lines?)
Check operation Lights & accessories (done)
Replace Oil filter (done)
Inspect/adjust Parking brake (no mention of this.. so .. not done?)
Inspect Steering (done - says steering components)
Inspect Suspension (done)
Inspect Tie rod ends, steering gearbox & boots (dont see any of these.. so.. not done?)
Rotate Wheels & tires (Done)
You'll see my notes on what I believe was done and not done based on what I saw in the summary sheet/vehicle check up report.
They suggested I get the brake fluid and power steering fluid flushed (Dirty).
Lastly, my CR-V has been needed to be jumped a few times in the past couple weeks. Yesterday I was sitting in the car with the engine off, but battery on and listening to the radio for about 30 minutes and the battery died and needed a jump. I thought this meant a weak battery which should be changed under warranty, but their battery test said it was still good (12.58V/449 CCA). So as a result, they wouldn't give me a new battery.

I took off the oxygen sensor and double checked the connections. I used a test charger to make sure that the harness piece and the oxygen sensor had continuity. I took off the piece of crap wire connector that Bosch provided and connected all four sets of wires with heat shrinking butt connectors. Now my car computer only reads ODBII PO134 code Sensor No Activity Bank1 Sensor1 and not the previous PO135 Code P0135 --Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction. Does that mean I am in the clear now? Does my computer/car just need time to burn off any excess fuel that could have gone in the catalytic converter? If so how long should this process take because I dont want to run a risk of damaging the catalytic converter because the sensor has failed to kick on.

BOSCH O2 sensors are incompatible with Honda engine computers. You are bettter off buying a DENSO or OEM. Some Honda dealers have on-line outlets which sell OEM parts at discount.

I have an 04. I need to change the brake light (next to door) not above window.
I see 2 screws under two plastic caps. Is this all there are? Just unscrew and pull?

Just saw post 5989 which answers my question (though it wasn't my question). Wow, an answer before I even had the question - thanks......

I had similar issues with my battery. It would only start after I turned the key a few times. When I got home it died completely. I measured the voltage when it wouldn't start and it was down to 10.2 volts. What it turned out to be was a bad cell which was periodically shorting out. The battery has six cells which measure around two volts apiece. Chances are that one of them may be bad and intermittently shorting out. Other possibility is to have them test the charging output of your alternator. It may be putting out low current and not keeping the battery charged. A lot of short trips will drain down the battery as well if it isn't driven enough to replenish what was used in cranking.

I don't know if I described the problem with my new CRV right. While driving on hightway, it made me feel like both front tires vibrating and the road coming up to foot. I sent my car to a dealer again. They checked both tires and the suspension system, also I took a technician for road testing. They concluded that nothing wrong with my car and my feeling is quite normal for CRVs. They argued that CRVs are so designed that it might not as smooth as other cars such as sedans. I am wondering if all CRV owners think this is correct, and have the same feeling while driving as I have. Thanks.

I'm also feeling an intermittent vibration but only on a straight line. I am guessing the w&t may need balancing or maybe something related to the brakes. I only feel the vibration coming from the front driver side but is rare. I will tell my dealershp and let you know.
