Replying to: 5198 (Jan 15, 2008 9:38 pm) My 2002 also has severly clouded headlights. I noticed how bad it was recently when parked next to another similar year CR-V. The other car had nice clear glass on the headlights, but mine is very cloudy and dull.   Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what can be done?   Thanks, Paul
#221 of 398 Headlight out by judylink Aug 25, 2008 (12:08 pm)
I've had two headlights go out on my CR-V 2006 and replaced by a Honda dealership. The third time the light went out, a friend taped on the hood near the light and it turned on. Now that was a waste of money!
#222 of 398 CRV Differential - it's toast! by chandlwc1 Sep 01, 2008 (5:09 am)
I have a 2002 CRV that was having the real differential noise problem. Got the fluid changed and it didn't change much. Yesterday I was on the highway when there was a god awful metal on metal screaching noise along with the associated caustic smell. So, I assume the differential is toast. Any idea what it should cost to fix/replace this? Is Honda the only place to go for this?   Thanks

I have recently taken delivery of my second 2007-08 CRV and certainly had the grinding noise when turning in reverse in the first model that contributors mention. It hasn't yet started in the new car but no doubt will. There is another noise which I have not seen mentioned and it was in my 2007 model and again in the 2008 model. The car is an auto and I find that when going down hill in "D" and using no brake and no accelerator there is a noise from the rear of the car which I can only liken to what one hears when a stone chip is caught between the brake disc and the disc guard except no where as loud. Have any other contributors experienced this and are able to indicate what it is? I have not yet approached Honda for comment. Why two identical CRVs in such short order? I love them and Honda made an offer I could not refuse to change.

Replying to: tedtcb (Aug 12, 2008 6:57 am) Hi Ted, Eventually received a telephone call from one of their customer service people in head office. Apologised profusely for the delay in getting back to me. He was not overly willing to admit Honda's design flaws in their diff design. He kept saying how Honda will rectify problem while under warranty otherwise it's a service expense for the car owner. Kept telling me it was a service requirement to regularly replace the diff oil but couldn't tell me exactly when it needed changing. Quite vague about this. Overall not a very satisfactory response from Honda. Asked about the breather outlet in the diff housing and said it was necessary as the diff would expode if it didn't have this breather outlet. Not sure about the CRV anymore. Nice to drive but I'm sure their are plenty of other makes & models that don't have this problem. Think I will just have to keep an eye on it and get it sorted quickly if the shudder comes back. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge - much appreciated - Gerry Replies to this message: judylink (Sep 03, 2008 8:07 am) tmcalhoun1988 (Oct 07, 2008 3:32 pm)

Replying to: hondaloon (Sep 03, 2008 4:27 am) I wouldn't drive the CRV if there you know you have a problem with the dif. My brand new 2006 locked up on the highway and almost killed me. They replaced the entire diff. There was NO warning. The shuddering and grinding noise appeared later with the replaced dif and the oil was changed. No problems since, so far.

Wow Gerry, that sounds like a rather unsatisfactory response.My only thought is the dif problem has not manifested itself into the common disaster that Judylink experienced or I'm quite sure there would be a major recall on the CRV. As it is, I see many, many on the road from all three generations. Something tells me we haven't seen the end of this Thanks for the head;s up and be safe t

Replying to: judylink (Sep 03, 2008 8:07 am) What year is your CR-V? My father has a 2008 and there is a grinding noise coming from the rear of the car. i think it maybe the rear dif because it mostly does it when we are turning on bumps. have you seen or hear any similar complaints?
#228 of 398 by judylink Oct 08, 2008 (9:06 am)
Mine is an '06, I had no warning when the differential went. My older model ('03?) made a grinding sound during parking for example. It should not cost a dime to have it fixed! You might have to be adamant about it though. Here's the link to the service bulletin 07-024 that you can take with you, proving that you know that they know that it's a recurring problem with the CRVs. http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A07-024.PDF   The bulletin is for 2002-2007, but if there's still a problem....   Judy Replies to this message: yarmie (Oct 17, 2008 4:27 am) hondaloon (Oct 17, 2008 3:03 pm)
