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....

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 |

Replying to: jpettibone (Jun 10, 2009 12:55 pm) 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.

Replying to: mickd (Jun 11, 2009 10:59 am) When I came to pick it up, they didn't give me the bill, they just walked me over to the cashier. When I finally got to see it, I pulled out the TSB (thanks to whoever posted it) and said "This tells me it is under warranty". They answered "This tells me it's not". I said "Why? the car is less than 5 years old, and less than 60,000 miles. This is a drive train problem." Then, he looked at me and said, "You have a point, let me write out a new bill for you." And he did. For zero. It looks as though they try a couple of times to get you to swallow their warranty cost, and see if you back down. If you don't (and it sure helps to have a copy of their TSB) they change gears, presumably pretending it was an honest error. Another dealer (the one I had bought the car from) had also told me on the phone this was maintenance, not warranty work. I'm happy with the outcome, but still annoyed they try this sleazeball crap. Thanks for all the discussion. Without this board, I would never have had enough info to exercise my rights. F |
