| My mom's 2003 honda cr-v ex awd automatic transmission has this clicking sound whenever we drive it around. on occasion the clicking is loud, but it can get very annoying. the automatic, when starting and putting in reverse has a very un-honda like noise with a jolt. when we took it for the nhtsa recall for the automatic transmission they did the service. after a couple of days the clicking went back. took it back to the dealership and the honda certified mechanic said that it is normal because the brakes are adjusting itself. i want to know do any other honda owners of cr-v's built from 2002-2003 model years have this same noise problem? *ak | |||

| 2003 honda crv ex - when reducing speed transmission fails to downshift and begins to make grinding noise. once stopped grinding continues then gears re-engage and lunges suv forward quickly. luckily no one was in front of me at the lights!! to remedy - i had to restart the engine from park position. problem repeated itself at the next intersection and engine light engaged - i took to dealership for tests - stated engine light report states transmission failure but no other info provided. dealer could not replicate by driving and was told that i must continue to drive until the problem occurs again.*ak | |||

| When i shift the gear in drive or reverse and then release the brake, there is a loud clicking noise that seems to be coming from the front of the car. the noise eventually goes away after the vehicle has been running for a few minutes. i've had this problem since i bought the car. i had a relative who owns the same car that i have and she was experiencing the same problem . she reported the problem to her dealership and the following items were replaced on her car: 1) throttle shift - recall 2) shift cable - recall i took my car to the dealership where i bought the car and i was told the following: 1) a recall has been issued for my car but i have to wait until honda sends me a written notification before they can fix the problem 2) i insisted that i wanted the problem fixed now due to a defect that can endanger my family while driving this car. i was told by one of the staff that i would have to pay if i want the problem fixed | |||
