A few years ago, the rear door/hatch sensor light was coming on, even though it was closed securely. Mentioned to (very good) dealer at check up and they said fixed but it wasn't. Now, out of warranty, it is constant - which would not be a huge issue except that the remote lock won't work because it thinks the rear hatch is open! Grrrr. And worse, now the key sticks going in. Had I known this would be a 3-6x per day aggravation, i would have taken care of it under warranty instead of letting it slide. Is this expensive/tough to fix? They thought they had it years ago and didn't. Thoughts? Thanks!

I bought my 2008 CRV in October of 08. The front driver seat is very poorly made. I feel the cross member on my butt. The dealer checked out the seat and reported to me that it is normal. Where can I get a better after market seat that will fit?

Replying to: srizvi1 (Mar 25, 2009 1:49 pm) The good thing is that w/ my tires changed at 57,650 miles (See my post here in the Honda CR-V Tires Wheels and Sensors thread), rotation doesn't need to be done anymore either. If anyone has any other thoughts, please chime in, otherwise, I'll start doing the services between a Honda dealer and Firestone over the next few days. The parts I'm looking to purchase are honda brake fluid, honda air filter, honda cabin air filter and Honda Oil (I'm not doing synthetic in this car). I'm planning on trying and getting the price matched from the dealer to http://www.handa-accessories.com/ (I've gotten this done before). Just need to figure out how many quarts of oil I need. I thought I'd list out the items to check out from the Edmunds.com maintenance schedule too to help make this post and my last post a one-stop summary of what to do w/ a similar CR-V around this mileage: Replace Air filter Inspect Brake lines, hoses & connections Inspect Brakes Replace Cabin air filter Inspect boots & seals Inspect/adjust Drive belt(s) Change Engine oil Inspect Exhaust system Inspect Fluid levels Inspect Fuel lines & hoses Lubricate Hinges, locks & latches Check operation Lights & accessories Replace Oil filter Inspect/adjust Parking brake Inspect Steering Inspect Suspension Inspect Tie rod ends, steering gearbox & boots Rotate Wheels & tires (I've put Rotate Wheels and Tires in italics because I'm ignoring that right now w/ the recent tire change) |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Apr 07, 2008 7:45 am) I'm thinking that's why at the 45k service by both the dealer and edmunds.com it is suggested to deal with the brake fluid. My father's 2007 CR-V is now past 62,500+ miles, but just a little over 2 years old. so I'm thinking I can ignore this for another year? |

My Honda Dealer/Stealer wants circa $33.00 for a pair of paper cabin filters for my 2005 Honda CR-V, and another outlandish amount to install them. Of course I buy them on eBay for circa $12.00 per pair, and install them myself in five minutes. I've purchased and have on hand about eight pairs ot these filters for future use. Still, I'm wondering the consequence of simply removing the cabin filters from the vehicle. I mean, if I did remove them, would I die, become incapacitated in some horrible manner, have to cope with the occasional vicious fly, bug, or man-eating mosquito inside my vehicle, or what? Vehicle manufacturers have a tendency to insist that we simply must not do without these filters, and of course they make a very handsome profit selling us these paper things. Nonetheless, we older folks have lived and drove for many miles, many years, without paper filters in our vehicles. Thus, I'm inclined to think that simply removing the cabin filters entirely would not prove detrimental in the least. Thoughts pro and con are invited. |
