The car shakes at low speeds. Vibration and shaking to whole car affecting traction and everyone in car feels the shaking. Feels like transmission is slipping in low gears. Only at lower speeds and not at high speeds. I bought it used this year, and the problem seems to be getting worse. Well maintained crv automatic, awd, 115,000. Really hope i can get it fixed with paying for a transmission. I thought it was the…

My 2006 cr-v shudders at around 40 mph. It did the same 3 years ago and honda charged me $1200+ to fix the torque converter (@ 107,000 miles). Now it is doing ti again at 162,000 miles. It seems it is a design flaw. Shouldn't honda do something other than make more money on me?

On a 200 mile trip the air conditioner/ compressor locked up. I had just completed the 100,000 mile scheduled service which included the drive belt replacement. I was able to drive the vehicle back home as long as i didn't attempt to use the a/c or defroster. Obviously honda has a problem with the compressors they are using in there vehicles. Hopefully dot will investigate the faulty equipment. My sister in law has…

I incorrectly put the car into drive 1. I noticed my mistake and changed the transmission to drive. The car's computer put the vehicle in full throttle. I braked and put the transmission into neutral and the rpm gauge showed the car to be in full throttle. I had to turn off the vehicle and everything was ok after this incident. I am 100% sure that the computer on this vehicle has some problems. *tr

I just had a complete transmission failure with my 2006 honda cr-v 4wd at 118,000 miles. The transmission failed within a few days and gave little warning until complete failure occurred. The transmission would slip in all gears, so i could not put the vehicle directly into 1st, 2nd, 3rd,or 4th gear to get the vehicle off the highway. Luckily, i was close to home when the transmission failed but it took a few engine…

Driveability issues created by rear differential. Requires accelerated and expensive maintenance at intervals above and beyond factory recommendations. Would appear to be a design reliability issue that should be addressed by honda beyond simply shifting the burden on to owners. ....updated 10/26/11 *bf

This crv rumbles all the time when traveling at speeds of 1500 rpm +/- . Letting off the gas will stop the rumble. Dealer could not hear it. It has become more frequent and of course annoying. I have tried everything from changing dual pump fluid to tires. I have been told that it is bearing on the transmission or the seal on the drive shaft. Had any recalls for this problem? *tr

2006 honda crv, noise in the rear differential. Starts making grinding noise when turning sharply at low speed. Pasted 36 month warranty period. Honda put out a service bulletin #07-024 with instructions to replace the rear differential fluid and burnish the rear differential clutches. The owner's manual says to change differential fluid at 60k miles or 4 yrs. The original fluid is defective. *tr

I have had an odd sound coming from the rear differential of my honda cr-v. The dealer said after the first change of the fluid the sound would go away but it has come back over and over again. They refuse to pay for the rear differential fluid change and i understand that this is an ongoing problem with 2006 cr-v's. *tr
