I would imagine that this trick only works when battery has some power. He has drained his battery dead. Not sure if the trick would work. Just another reason for me to keep my Gen 2.5... I drove a Mini and found it interesting that when you pull on the door handle, the window lowers a bit to clear the roof overhang. What would happen if the battery were dead. Would you be able to even open the door to release the hood latch? And you can't crawl through the tailgate, it has a button that activates electric latch release, which is useless when battery is dead. I remember crawling through the hatch in my '85 Civic to start her up, when the car was covered in 1" thick sheet of ice, and I could not get the key into the keyhole, and even if I did, I would not have been able to open the door. |

Replying to: fnamowicz (Sep 25, 2007 7:22 am) This goes for all the other replies please slow down and read the complete issue." This is the first I've heard of this aspect of the Gen 3. That is one stupid design, a real slip by Honda. I consider this a safety issue, though not rising to the level of a recall. Dumb, real dumb. There should always be a manual method of entry for all doors in any vehicle. |

Replying to: richk6 (Sep 24, 2007 5:36 pm) Page 92, owner's manual. " blueiegod, I realize that you missed the fact the battery was dead, but I really appreciate the fact that you posted the information rather than just referring people to the owner's manual (some people don't have the manual - like me, I'm researching the CR-V while I am "between cars").

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 25, 2007 7:52 am) The actual procedure and the pages were part of RichK's post, I didn't do a good job of separating his reply from mine. lol. I actually brought up the fact that the procedure in the manual only works when the battery has juice. |

I am a new 07 CRV owner. I love this car, the style, the space... I didn't think I would have anything dislike it but today, I realized I do. Today is kind of windy in Northern NJ. While I was driving on highway, my car wasn't that balance. I was little scared since while I was driving my old, 97 Honday Accord, it never happened to me. Anybody has similar experience of the CRV?

Replying to: blueiedgod (Sep 24, 2007 7:43 am) other opinion: my 2003 was more like: "Okay I am driving to the mountains", whereas with my 2007 is more like: "okay let's drive into the big city for a show" |
