It seems ever more present in 2006 and 2007 models. This is covered in Drive Train warranty and my local dealer had no problem changing the fluid. The issue is now that the vehicle is now running very rough during idle and when stopping (Shaking when braking). I think I will go with Toyota next time. Does anyone see Honda doing a proper recall and fixing this Drive train problem properly?

If the dealer told me the story he told the Original poster, I would have just replyed with what I know from the manual and cought him in a lie. It would definatly make him uncomfortable, and make it more difficult to lie to me again. |

I suppose I am wondering what the "recall" would fix. The only thing Honda should do is send one of those sticky pages for people to put over the existing one with the new maintenance schedule. They have done it in the past. I think this what cdamech wants Honda to do. Question is, will he find his Owner's Manual to paste the sticky sheet on the right page?

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 25, 2007 7:35 am) Me too. I knew what was in the manual before I bought the car. I just don't understand what is the hang up about reading the manual. I read manuals to everything I own, Car, Motorcycle, lawnmower, generator, edger, weedwacker, TV, radio, thermostat... literally everything. I am willing to admit that I don't know a lot more than I do know, so I am not going to start operating this new piece of equipment without knowing everything about it. I guess I am just stupid. Other people do know everything and don't need to read no stinking Owner's Manual. But, if they did know everything, why would they be asking questions that are already answered in the manual? hmmm something to ponder about.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Sep 26, 2007 8:43 am) I got a manual before buying my last new car and read it. Some of it I didn't understand. Right now I couldn't tell you much about my Quest since the manual is in the car and it's at my wife's office. I may have downloaded one; I consult the pdf manual for my new camera way more than I look at the paper one. Having people describe some operations in a description too. After getting my Outback I managed to turn the parking lights on and couldn't figure out how to turn them off. A Subaru Crew member told me about the "hidden" extra switch on top of the steering wheel. I finally found that in the manual too, but it was indexed so poorly it took me twenty minutes of page flipping to find it. Then there are those MB and BMW manuals that are so big, people put them in their trunks and forget about them.

| Just a quick update on my experience at the dealership with my 2007 CR-V that has the same problem with noise when backing up and turning. When i dropped it off, I mentioned the TSB and the service guy said they hadn't had any 07's reporting the problem. Within 1 hour I was informed that they could duplicate the problem and had decided that a differential rebuild/replacement was needed but the parts were back ordered and it would be at least a month before the parts would be in. They did not do a fluid change or anything outlined in the TSB. I asked if I could drive it until then and the tech had told the service mgr. that I could. Has anyone had a total failure of the differential prior to the dealership performing the TSB repair? I'm a little nervous about going anywhere until the problem is fixed. | |
