I have a 1995 honda CRV, it vibrates once approaching 30km/h. the vibration ceases once the speed goes above that. what might be the reason? i have done wheel balancing and change tryes but the sitution has not improved. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Jul 22, 2009 9:02 am)
#6295 of 6448 Service need for my 2007 Honda CR-V at 62553 miles by srizvi1 Jul 21, 2009 (11:52 am)
Replying to: srizvi1 (Mar 25, 2009 1:49 pm) I'm replying to the post I made back on March 25, 2009, almost 10,000 miles ago when my dad's CR-V was at almost 53,000 miles. I wrote out what was recommended by the Dealer for 45k and 60k services. circlew and blueiedgod replied and ultimately, it seemed the main things were to rotate the tires and do the oil change and let Firestone inspect the rest for $20. I think the definite to-get-dones were the air filter and the cabin air filter. I questioned the 45k brake flush because I dealt w/ that much later in my 2004 Honda Accord, but I Was looking on Edmunds.com's maintenance schedule (http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/select.html) and it said to do that at 45k too. That makes me think it should get done, but the other things like Spark plugs, valve clearance, and I think a few other things, I'm going to just ignore the dealer on.   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)
#6296 of 6448 Re: Rear Hatch Sensor 2003 CRV [smith133] by blueiedgod Jul 22, 2009 (9:00 am)
Replying to: smith133 (Jul 15, 2009 5:39 am) 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 had a simila rissue, and it turned out to be loose bolts hoding the rear door lock. Open the door and look at the lock. There are 3 or 4 phillips bolts. If you have not lost them, yet, tighten them. It should fix the light problem.

I believe it first appeared in 1996 in Japan, and then as 1997 model in the US.   If the wheels have been balanced properly, check for bent rims, torn CV-joint, or bent driveshaft.
#6298 of 6448 Re: 115k maintenance? [blueiedgod] by srizvi1 Jul 23, 2009 (12:41 pm)
Replying to: blueiedgod (Apr 07, 2008 7:45 am) Brake fluid should be completly replaced and bled every 3 years regardless of mileage.   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?
#6299 of 6448 Cabin Filters, or Not? by mcdermott Jul 31, 2009 (5:26 pm)
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.

Replying to: mcdermott (Jul 31, 2009 5:26 pm) Well, it would be hard to argue that removing the cabin filter will shorten your life, particularly for someone past a certain age. But I just changed my cabin filter. Did I want to breath the stuff I saw trapped on the filter? No thank you.   Bottom line, the filter isn't expensive (if bought smart), nor does it take more than a few minutes to change. That seems like a small price to pay to breath cleaner air.
#6301 of 6448 Re: Cabin Filters, or Not? [mcdermott] by extech2 Aug 01, 2009 (2:37 pm)
Replying to: mcdermott (Jul 31, 2009 5:26 pm) We had cars without cabin air filters for the last 90 years or longer and no one died from the lack of this device. It's like going for a walk without a gas mask. I'm willing to bet $ 100 that one could prepare two identical cars, one with a new filter and another without, and 10 out of 10 people couldn't tell the difference. I think it's a gimmick right there with the engine flush and the power steering flush.

Replying to: extech2 (Aug 01, 2009 2:37 pm) I completely agree with extech2 on this one....
#6303 of 6448 Re: Cabin Filters, or Not? [extech2] by lzc Aug 02, 2009 (5:33 am)
Replying to: extech2 (Aug 01, 2009 2:37 pm) I wouldn't doubt one bit that most people might not tell the difference between the two cars. But that's not the same as saying there is no difference. And I doubt if taking out your home furnace filter will kill anyone, either.   As for being the same as going for a walk without a mask, I'll agree with you when I take my walks at 75 mph!
