CR-V

This is a 2007 Honda crv_ex-L. there was no accident involved. This complaint is in regards to the differential problem with the CRV. This vehicle has only 28,000 miles on it but is 3 1/2 years old. Started have a noise problem when turning at slow speeds. Brought into dealer and they told us the differential lubricant needed to be replaced at a cost of $125. Dealer would not stand behind the problem even though car had extended warranty, because it was past 36 month. Service rep said there was a service advisory posted internally for this problem that said the lubricant needed to be changed every 15,000 to 20,000 miles, even thought the manual say 60,000. No notification was sent to owners of this advisory. Had to pay to have it fixed, but do not know if there was internal damage and service rep did not know.

CR-V

  • 40,000 miles
We are a two car ownership family and one of the vehicle is a 2007 Honda CRV and around 40,000 miles the car began vibrating at speeds between 38 to 43 mph. Contacted my Honda dealer, lee Honda, and they are vehement in stating that there is no issue with CRV and the vibration maybe due to differential fluid needing flushing. Also dealer stated it may be due to front-end alignment. New tires were installed, front-end alignment done and what was an infrequent occurrence is not an everyday occurrence. Honda dealer is still adamant it maybe differential fluid needing flushing. My personal mechanic has found the bulletin that references the need to flush the differential, possibly twice. Why are they simply not upfront with their problem and address the issue. After several unsatisfied conversation with the dealership, I am having my mechanic do the work on 9/1/2010 and leave the Honda dealer chatting about "it's not a Honda issue" to himself. What poor customer relationship Honda advertises the dealership by not being honest about it's problem. It will be my last Honda. I am currently seeking to trade our other vehicle and it will not be Honda. When the vehicle was less then 6 months, we reported problems with the differential. The dealer replaced the differential per Honda's recommendation. Apparently there was a bulletin about the 2007 differential problem and it wasn't until our third visit to dealer that the problem was diagnosed as Honda bulletin, not a recall. Could these two issues be related?

CR-V 4WD

  • 45,000 miles
2007 Honda CR-V 4WD, rear differential noise. It starts right at the beginning at slow sharp turn. I thought all 4WD drive are the same. The dealer service people never mentioned any problem when we did regular service until it ran out of the warranty. Now they "noticed" the noise and advised us to change the fluid. I suspected if this would solve the problem since I started noticing it right from the beginning. When I checked online, I found it is a bigger problem.

CR-V

  • 20,000 miles
The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. while driving less than 40 mph, the contact encountered an ice storm and the road conditions became very slippery. He felt the vehicle power surge and pull itself from one direction to the other. There was a shift in power from wheel to wheel. The vehicle had all-wheel drive and the contact could feel it attempting to activate. However, the vehicle was pulled all over the highway. The dealer stated that nothing could be done because the vehicle was an all-wheel drive. The failure and current mileages were 20,000 updated 02/05/09. Updated 02/09/09.
