Let’s see, I have 64K on my 06 and last month I had my Diff clutch burnished and “Dual II Pumped” for the third time. The first time by Honda for free and the two other times by my trusty mechanic who follows the TSB to the letter.
I suppose if my CR-V was my first Honda I might be miffed about this rear diff issue, but since it’s my 15th or so since 1977, I’m as big a fan as ever…And will remain so.

Sounds about right, change the fluid once a year and the car is happy.

Just changed front breaks/rotors 64K
Drove from the Catskills to Burlington Vt last Sat got close to 29 mph on the way up(Just me and my wife) and with one extra person on the way back (80mph) for 235 Mi about 24 MPH
The 29 was the best I ever got.

So, if you add the rear differential to the A/C problem, plus the transmission sensors that people have had problems with, is this still a reilable car? Or, at the very least, has it been below Honda's high level of quality?
 
Honestly, next to a Neon that I was a fool to buy, the cr-v has been the least reliable car I've owned.
 
Also, nice to see blueiedgod over here trumpeting reliability in the face of evidence again. He really gets around these message boards.

I know, it is just too much to ask people to maintain their vehicles as they are supposed to. How dare a manufacturer require people change their fluids and oils on schedule.
 
I agree, once you buy a vehicle, it should run a million miles without the owner spending a penny or taking it into the shop, and preferrably all done on the same tank of fuel....
 
alas, the reality bites....

2009 diff probs? by vincel1

Hi I'm new to the forums, I usually don't join but just browse the useful info. But I'm considering a 2009 CRV AWD auto. Has there been any differential problems with the later model CRVs? The service bulletin addresses the 02 - 07 model years.
Thanks, vincel

I have an 07 CRV with 62K miles ( 1/2 are hwy). I had the diff. fluid changed at no cost at 32K because it was making noise. I have not had to do it again. As far as mileage. I often get 30mpg on trips going over mountains on the east coast. I got 35mpg drive across the flat midwest on HWY 90 last year (60mph) and got 40 mpg (65-70mph) one day on the way back east across the flats with a stiff tailwind. I was amazed. I put on new tires with an aggressive tread last fall and the mileage dropped by 3 mpg overall. Bummer, but the tires are good in snow and rain. Hope I get as good an mpg this summer when I drive west again.

As I said before jpettibone, were this my first Honda I would probably be "Miffed" at the unusual number of irregularities that have plagued this model…Personally, I’ve had no problems other than the rear Diff and a fuel tank sensor.
The fact is the CR-V is still the top selling Crossover SUV and I continue to see Vs of all generations on the road.
If anything needs to be done by Honda it would be to offer all of us (Consumers and Retailers) “Transparency” when it comes to problems that are universal to the model.

Sorry I missed your post Mick
Your reported MPG is outrageously phenomenal...with what octane?

This was my first Honda, and we were pretty upset at the reliability of this car. I very much agree with your last point- I wish they would at least come clean on the AC compressor issue. When there is a single violation of a rule, people tend to either think of it as an exception that does not disprove the rule, or they defend the rule to the point of excluding data to the contrary. I don't see how anyone could see the last model CR-V as anything but sub-par reliability wise for Honda standards, although maybe not by GM standards. Just look at consumer reports for the '02 to '05 year, and you'll see a handful of black and open circles- unheard of for Honda products. If they'd be honest about this, then I'll take it as the exception and continue to buy honda. But to continue to bang the gong of user error, especially when that claim is not falsifiable by the user? I did not expect that from Honda either.
