I purchased a new 2015 honda crv exl. Picked it up on evening of 2/18/15. I drove it back and forth to work, approx. 30 miles round trip the next two days. I noticed vibration and felt something wasn't right. The car sat in my driveway the weekend due to bad weather. I drove to work monday and tuesday and the vibration was terrible. I drive in very slow moving traffic. While accelerating, it feels like a bumpy ride…

The car was making noise diagnosed by honda as the transmission pump. Car had only 79,000 miles and was serviced regularly and all fluids are changed regularly. I had the transmission fixed elsewhere for half the price honda wanted. I n,ever heard of a transmission problem at such a low mileage. Very disappointed in honda. *tr

The transmission blew with no warning whatsoever, driving at highway speed the forward motion suddenly cut out. Luckily we had enough momentum to get to the side of the highway or 4 people would be dead. The car had just had a trip inspection within 10 days, all systems go, and we took the car shopping in the morning with no indication whatsoever by performance, noise, etc there was anything wrong at all. The…

There was a groan coming from the rear differential when making a sharp turn or tight turn at low speed. The mileage was 18769 miles. The cause was attributed to contamination of the fluid in the rear differential. The fluid was drained and the rear differential clutches were burnished. However, the drained fluid was clean. The fluid was again replaced. This should not happen to a car with this low mileage. This…

Honda crv 2005 ex model started lately (2010 late) to have rear differential noise, especially when making big turns at very low speed (starting from stop). This is the design problem. *tr

My complaint is with the rear differential. I have had to replace the fluid several times since i have had it, due to low fluid. I now have a "case halve" in the rear differential is leaking. A very costly expense. I have researched this problem online and it seems that a majority of cr-v owners are having the same problem. *tr

I own 2006 honda crv. My complaint is about rear differential fluid. The owner's manual states that rear differential fluid needs to be changed every 60,000-90,000 miles. First time had to replace it at 19000 miles because of the noise when the wheels were turned right/left at low speeds. The same problem resurfaced at 53000 miles again. The dealership pushes a $250 dollar procedure (rear differential change 2 times…

My [redacted] crv has a rumbling in the front and also seems to slip when acellerating. Many other seem to have this complaint with honda crvs and mine is a 2005 non awd. This is terrible as everytime we go out now we dont know if the car will get us to our destination and my husband and myself are both disabled. We purcheased this crv as to the good reputation honda had and now we are stuck with this problem that…

This is a problem in the rear differential system in honda crv 4-wheel drive model made between 2002 and 2007. After about every one and a half years, the differential fluid becomes so much contaminated that the whole vehicle starts to shake. According to the vehicle's owner manual, the differential fluid only needs to be changed every 5 years or 90,000 miles. Obviously the differential fluid becomes dirty too soon.…

For approximately 5 years, my honda cr-v has experienced a shudder in the vehicle when the speed is in between gears. This shuddering recurs between 2nd and 3rd gear, 4th and 5th gear. I have reported it to the honda dealer where my vehicle was purchased numerous times over the course of the past 5 years. The answer i was always given was "cannot duplicate problem". I was never asked to go for a test ride with a…

I bought the car in august 2004. After a few months drove it to the mountain, put the snow chain and the car couldn't go more than 10mph, instead it make a loud roaring noise. Took to dealer but couldn't duplicate the problem. Call direct to honda they said they couldn't do anything since the dealer didn't find any problems. Since than we drive another car whenever we went to the snow. Last weekend we went to palm…
