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.

The CR-V has a short wheel base, 103 inches. That's 3 inches less than the Civic. As a result, yep, it's going to produce a choppy ride compared to most sedans, especially at freeway speeds. The Accord's wheelbase is 110 inches.
There's not much you can do about the issue. Make sure your tires aren't over inflated. You might see if under inflating them by a couple of pounds helps out, but you wouldn't want to go too far with that.
I find the CR-V's virtues more than compensate for this shortcoming.

Thanks for this info. I'll try following up with a different dealer on this battery.

Kenneth - you rotate the left front to the left back and the same for the right side. This will help you not have to get the balance done over again. I only know this because my man does this to my car/suv.

If you have so-called "directional" tires, you moved front-to-back-back-to-front without them changing from one side of the car to the other. Directional tires can't be flipped, which you'd have to do if switching to the other side of the car. I have low-noise tires on one vehicle, for example and can't switch them to another side without having them going in the wrong direction.
If you have non-directional tires -- and most are -- move the back ones not only forward but each to the other side of the vehicle. The front tires goe straight back.

How do I know that if the tire is "directional" or "non-directional"?

Most directional tires have a fairly prominent "arrow", inline with the name on the tire..
Very few CR-Vs will have directional tires, and not at all likely if they are the stock tires.

headlight issue

I seem to remember that if I leave the headlights on and turn the car off and remove the key there is a chime to remind me. It seems like the chime has stopped working. Is it a fuse issue? Or was there not ever a chime.

I had the same problem. Check that the dome light comes on when the door is opened. It should be as bright as when other doors are opened.I had one switch that just needed to be remounted. On another occasion, I removed the switch from the door post (a single screw and pulled out gently with wire attached) and sanded the mating surfaces to provide a proper ground to the switch. If this doesn't work, ground the wire directly to the chassis to make sure the wiring is OK. (dome light on bright) If this works but not the switch, test it for continuity and replace if bad. These switches seem to be a week link.
