Replying to: nklepper (Nov 12, 2008 9:08 am) How is replacing differential fluid is different from replacing transmission fluid or engine oil? It is just another fluid that degrades with time and needs to be replaced. I don't see people crying foul when they have to change the engine oil. Unless you are one of those people I hear about that lease a car for 3 years and don't do any maintenance to it. |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 25, 2008 1:14 pm) Can we focus on the diff problem, which has been recognized by Honda for years?! Let's work together to solve problems and help each other on this forum. I was almost killed with two friends in my car when the car stopped due to the diff "going bad." The car was less than 1 month old. Oh, never mind... no problem with that....

Replying to: judylink (Nov 25, 2008 5:34 pm) Your peoblem is different from what most have experienced. Most have groaning rear differential. Yours has locked up. I am sure the locked up differential was promptly replaced by Honda under warranty. So, all you have to do now is change the fluid every year or 30,000 miles. What is the problem? |

| So the rest of us are groaning rear differential huh? Well the "crud" caused by this so called weep hole is going some place. So what is going to be affected next with our cars? We all bought new cars and spent alot of money. We shouldn't have to put up with this! Honda should research and find a fix not a band aide. | |
My 2008 CRV EX-L just hit 15% oil life at 18,000 miles. Code 6 popped up saying to change rear diff fluid. The car runs great, no sounds or groans from rear diff. Can't I wait awhile on this, like say 30,000 miles?

Replying to: mr_questions (Dec 20, 2008 11:58 am) Is there another Honda dealer in the area to try? Whatever the outcome, please let is know how this turns out. As to a class action suit, the result would likely be that attorneys get $124,999,997.87, while each consumer would get a coupon for $5 redeemable at their local dealer. Whoopee!

| We're thinking of buying my brother's 2005 crv when it comes off lease in march as we prefer to buy cars for which we know the legacy. We currently have an older CRV and 1991 integra. Brother has had the car serviced regularly and on his last service was told that the 'wrong' differential fluid was used. Might this cause any long term problems or will be fine once it is fixed? We are trying to decide whether to put some money in the integra to keep it running for the next year (needs about 1000 - 1500 of work) or whether to pull it off the road and replace with the 2005 CRV. Since the price off lease will be relatively steep, we won't buy if it requires major cash investment within the first year of purchase (other than regular maintenance). Any advice would be appreciated. Happy and safe new year to all! | |
