Replying to: fnamowicz (Sep 21, 2007 2:27 pm) In Jan of 07 my check engine light lit up—Dealer indicated it was a “Fuel Pressure Sensor Gauge” After 3 days in service I got the CRV back and before I drove home, the light was on again and car was virtually vibrating in idle. This time the dealer had the vehicle for 4 days and indicated that all the “Wires” leading to Fuel Tank were corroded and had to be “Changed Out” When I picked car up, the CE Light was off and has not come back on...However…….!!! The car has never felt the same since….The accelerator seems to have more resistance than normal and there is a slight delay in accelerating in cruise control…Gas Mileage has been in the 25 MPG range (Which is puzzling) Now why am I writing this in the “CR-V Rear Differential Problem” thread? Because In mid-August my dealer replaced the rear diff fluid after I heard a “moan” and guess what, the problem I had associated with the “Check Engine Light” went away. Now, some 1500 miles later I am beginning to feel the pressure on the accelerator (Which I now believe was always a symptom of the rear diff problem. In August, the dealer replaced the fluid once—not three times as recommended. Before I go back (I am just about to hit “36,000” miles. I believe they need to re-address the rear diff fluid etc. in my vehicle. Do I make sense? Thanks Ted Edited to include: The “Moan” which lead to the Rear Diff Fluid Change in Aug has not returned….Yet

Because in a drive-by-wre in the 05, there is absolutley no physical connection between the accelerator and the throttle. I know the system was modified in 2007 to relocate the accelerator sensor (read Potentiometer) to the pedal, as opposed to having a cable from the pedal run to the firewall where the sensor is located. So, did they really add tactile feedback?

Replying to: blueiedgod (Oct 01, 2007 8:52 am) That is an interesting point though I'm clueless on how to answer BTW my CRV SE is an 06 (and as I've mentioned before my 20th Honda since 1977 and the first one to be problematic, though I do love the way the car handles--and with these new Yokohama Avid TRZ tires--even better Do you think the Rear Diff problem can manifest itself into the problem I described--it's a bit like a transmission issue t

Replying to: tedtcb (Oct 01, 2007 9:22 am) I didn't know you had 06, you have the same drive by wire as the 05. There is no direct connection between the thorttle and the pedal. Rear differential problem is usually limited to goran or moan you described earlier. The easiest would be to replace the automatic transmission fluid (if you have auto) and see if it solves the issues you are having. Logic being, if your style of driving necessitate DPF replacement, ATF replacement is probably not a bad idea. I have an MT version and replaced DPF and MTF at the same time this summer. Even though I was not having any issues with either. I just thought that 15,000 miles is probably too much stress for the DPF and MTF the way I drive. It is much cheaper to keep replacing fluids more often than having the differential or the tranny rebuilt. I am sure you have noticed over the previous 20 Hondas that they are very sensitive to fluids. If the fluid replacement does not solve the problem you are having, escalate the issue with Honda. If the dealer is not cooperative, involve Honda corporate. This way, if there is an issue later on, after the warranty has expired, there is a record of your earlier attempts to have this solved before warranty expired, which will result in the issue being in-warranty.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Oct 03, 2007 6:05 am) I agree with you about fluid change outs, in fact I change my oil every 3000. I'm beginning to think that my accelerator problem is "all in my mind" as my vehicle felt perfectly normal this morning...I'll know for sure when we drive to our house in the Catskills this weekend. I just hit 36k so I'll replace trans fluid this weekend--maybe even rear diff again as well since I know Honda did not fill and replace three times--Can you advise about that "extra ounce" of Dual Pump fluid I hear about? I do appreciate all your counsel BTW I said 20 Hondas (I think this is my 15th since I included a few Acuras in that number--they do count as Hondas!) t

They are only Acura in the US, the rest of the world still gets them as Honda. I don't know what the "extra ounce" of dual pump fluid is. I know there is a reformulated version that dealers just got, but I have not seen it myself, yet. Have you checked the Honda SUV forum? There is a meet in New England coming up towards the end of this month. You should come and mingle with other Honda SUV owners.

Replying to: netboy1949 (Sep 19, 2007 9:25 am) My 2007 CR-v AWD had the grinding noise/vibration when backing up and turning the wheel at 3000 miles and I took it to the dealer and they replace the rear differential assembly and fluid. Now i am at 16,000 Miles and the grinding noise has come back again. Not sure what I need to do now.
