I was having the same problem. And I noticed that the screws in the door latch were loose. I could never get them to stay tight. I would have to tighten them about every 2 or 3 weeks.
 
I had the CRV for 8 months and sold it last night - too many problems.

Oil Indicator the same on 2nd oil change? by deasy12

I waited... and waited until my 1st oil change - relying on the indicater, and trusting the dealership recommendation.
When it was finally time for the oil change, I did not have it changed at the dealership, I had it done closer to home.
 
Question: Is the indicator system/light still accurate at this point or would the dealer have changed it now that the factory-oil is gone?
 
After years of 3000 miles then 5000 miles for each change - I am anxious!

Make sure you reset the indicator to read 100% oil life. The indicator will then count down to the next oil change.
 
The reset procedure is in the manual.

Actually a couple owners with the oil life indicator never had it come on. They had gone about 10-12,000 miles until the dealer was called upon and found that the indicator was defective. lol Not that I'm trying to laugh too hard.
 
But if you're anxious and don't want to wait, why should you have to? There is nothing or anyone holding a gun to your head forcing you to wait. You want to change your oil at 5000 miles, then change it.
 
When did people become controlled by a computer? IT's JUST OIL PEOPLE! If it makes you happy, change it early!

I think the bigger question is whether the seat covers are side air bag friendly. If the seat covers are not desined to accomodate the exploding side airbags, which are mounted on the side of the seatback, then you are just asking for trouble, big trouble!!!
  
I don't have the 2010 OWNER's MANUAL, but, I highly doubt that it does not say how to remove the headrests. How else are you going to line up the seats for the bed feature?

Sorry to hear you had so many issues. Rather unusual for a Honda. All screws are tight and the door is closing tightly as well. When I jiggle the switch the light flickers. I have a new switch and will see what happens. An $8.00 experiment is not too bad.

problem after timing belt change by canyon711
Nov 24, 2009 (2:10 pm)
Reply
I had the timing belt and water pump changed because of the 7 year recommendation for my 2000 CRV.Other belts were done also. I noticed today that when I slow down to 20mph that it feels like something is holding it back from slowing down almost like car is braking. No problem going from low acceleration to high but there is definetly something different about it when I reduce speed. Mechanic says bring it in tomorrow and he will test drive it. I know if he does he will see what I am talking about. I didn't notice it last week after I picked up car and next day, not till today. Any ideas what this could be?
