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 |

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 a 2007 CRV, and have owned 2 Accords over the years. I live in SOCAL and don't need AWD, even though my last car was an Audi Quattro and ran flawless without any yearly differential oil changes or problems. If I needed an AWD vehicle, I would have not chosen the CRV. I am really surprised that Honda has not changed the design. Must be economics... Poor excuse.

Two completely different system using different approaches and different technologies. Very similar to someone complaining that apples taste like oranges, while in reality one is eating an orange, but thinks it is an apple.

Replying to: courtney89 (Jun 15, 2009 10:23 am) In reality, it isn't the Dual Pump fluid or the rear diff design, they are contributing factors obviously, the real problem (as always) is the misinformation, disinformation and general angst of “Not knowing”…all products of Honda Corporate policy. Yes, Judy had a catastrophic failure, but that’s way the exception. Would I buy another CRV….No, I don’t like the seats, I find it unconscionable that Honda did not include intermittent (variable) wipers on the Leather SE O6 version as well as other nitpicks but none of the reasons are mechanical in nature. |
