    I bought crv ex 2w in april, 2010. I noticed a driveline vibration either from transmission or engine when i drive on downhill highway and underpowered in 40-50 mph. It seemed that 5th gear refused to downshifted. I reported it in few days, but the dealer told me that nothing was wrong. I continued to have the same problem; i took it to another dealer twice. One time the dealer mechanic noticed that something was…

    My honda cr-v is making a loud chattering noise during low-speed cornering. The gears in the differential need reground. My honda dealership says it is my fault and will not cover it under warranty. From the sound and the feel of the problem, i will soon be stranded along the highway. The dealership in hanover, pa where i purchased the car new, told me that i let the oil get too low and ruined the gears. I…

    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,…

    After three service attempts by the honda dealer to correct the car not tracking straight, i had a local alignment shop install rear camber adjusting kits. Car did not track straight, prior to installing the after-market kits, the car would continually drift left. The dealer now states the warranty is void because i put non-honda parts on the car. When i called the dealer parts department, they have the same after…
