| 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 when to the snow. last weekend we went to palm springs aerial tram and the car make a loud noise that sound like it came from somewhere in the drivetrain parts. i thing this must have related to the same problem wen i went to the snow. i call a friend that has an independent car repair shop and told him what had happened. he advised me to call honda because the car is defective since it was new. i called honda and they said to bring to a different dealer than the one that i went on the first incident. i went to a dealer and again couldn't duplicate the problem, paid $220 for diagnostic and they said the problem has nothing to do with any parts of the drivetrain, i checked on the webside and found alot of people have similar problem posted on the crv forum /blog. i wonder if nhtsa can help us to complain to honda for related problem and have them repair the car free of charge since it was defective. | |||

| 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. when this happens, it is difficult to make a turn. i consider it unsafe. as i know, it is the problem to all vehicles of the same model not only my car. so i think it is a design problem. in my case, the rear differential system had to be reflushed three times and the rear differential clutches had to be burnish as well. luckily, no injury so far. *tr | |||

| At 17,000 miles on my 2005 honda cr-v i noticed noise when i made sharp turns to the right or left. the dealer could not diagnose. any problem. he thought it was from turning on the painted stripes on asphalt parking lots!!!!!!!!! at 17,684 miles the noise sounded like broken dishes rattling in the rear of the car. i looked online and found similar descriptions on websites related to honda cr-v issues. i took it back to the dealer. dealer finally diagnosed rear differential problem. they performed rear diff. service, burnished clutches in rear diff and drained and refilled fluid. problem solved! the car was under warranty, so no charge. why don't dealers know more about this problem? *tr | |||

| Own a 2005 cr-v ex awd. i to have experienced the cr-v rear differential contamination problem. howling noise while turning became evident from the back end during the winter of 07-08 and approximately 25000 miles. dealer determined the differential fluid was contaminated and flushed/replaced the fluid and performed a clutch burnishing procedure...fortunately under a goodwill warranty per a tsb. no problems since but based on other complaints i fear it's just a matter of time. rear differential contamination appears to be a real problem with this cr-v version (02-08) which honda really needs to address. *tr | |||

| This new 05' honda cr-v ex has had numerous problems with no resolve from the dealer. it has a continued problem of pulling to the right as well as vibration at higher speeds. also, the passenger side cv boot has been repaired twice as well as the transaxle. the vehicle came new with these problems. the dealer has tried diligently to fix the pttr problem with new tires, axle, rotation, alignment, wheels from other 05' cr-v's. but, they have said the vibration is within manufacture's specs!!!! i have spent more time with my car at the dealer since i bought this car in dececmber of 2004 and it is now april 2005! the vibration comes about throughout the cab, especially through the steering wheel at around 50-70 mph. i'm very upset that i pay good money for a car that brings me grief each and every time i drive the car on the hi-way. around town it's fine. this car is not right, and has never been right from the factory. this ib the worst honda purchase i have had after owning 5 other honda's!*ak | |||
