Replying to: fullmoon3 (Oct 01, 2009 8:22 am) This lead to a long discussion and difference of opinion on whether Honda's maintenance recommendations for rear differential fluid changes were adequate. The consensus seemed to be that the CR-V needs rear diff fluid changes more often than Honda recommends. Otherwise, my 2007 has been a gem.

| My CRV sat for about 2 weeks waiting for an engine. (I decided to replace the engine after a blown head gasket). When I went to drive the car to the garage the shifter was extremely tight. When I got it in drive it went just fine and shifted smoothly through the gears. It was just very hard to move the shifter up and down. | |

Replying to: lzc (Oct 03, 2009 7:16 am) I could be wrong. But I just don't see how a brand new car with 1000 miles would already have a groaning noise form the rear differntial. In very tight turns, the outside wheels will be traveling significantly faster than the inside wheels, and the front wheels will also be moving faster than the rear wheels which would also activate the rear differential. the insider rear will be moving hte slowest, the outside front the fastest.

I filled my tank last week and drove about 30 miles home where I smelt gas and my malfunction light came on. I removed my fuel cap and made sure it was on tight. I couldn't find any signs of fuel leaks in the engine compartment or fuel tank area. I have driven approx. 400 miles and the light's still on and my fuel milage has dropped a bunch. I have a code reader, but cannot find the plug to connect it. Has anyone any suggestions on this problem or where the code reader plugs into. Thanks!

| I have a 2009 CR-V EX, 4 cylinder, with 2300 miles. Almost from the beginning, I have noticed lots of rear noise in the brakes, etc. when backing down inclined driveways. Now that's happening when I back up anywhere. Also, there's a pretty constant rear noise that's hard to describe going forward as well. When I took it in for service, a defective shocks element was discovered; rotor had to be worked on as well. I've driven a Camry for 15 years without anything like this so I don't know whether I'm just not used to what "sounds" a SUV makes or whether I've got more problems than the dealership is owning up to. Help! I need to read up on the Lemon Law in California but I may have a good candidate. Very discouraging to me as I'd always heard what great cars Hondas were and CR-Vs in particular. If anyone can suggest good questions to ask the service department concerning this, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm currently waiting on the parts to arrive for the shocks repair. | |

Replying to: cisco7 (Oct 10, 2009 9:17 pm) You don't say whether your CR-V is a 4-WD model. What you think is rear brake noise may be rear differential noise. If after your car is serviced by the dealer, and assuming you aren't satisfied with the results, talk to the service manager, ask to take a test drive in a brand new model to see how its noise compares with your car. If there's a problem, Honda will probably make it right. Good luck. |
