2007 Honda CR-V LX 4 cylinder gas

Summary:

Honda should stand behind their products and replace known defective parts.

Faults:

A defective clutch in the differential on the AWD causes a chatter or shudder when the vehicle is cold and backing and turning sharply as when leaving a parking stall.

General Comments:

Honda acknowledges a problem with the differential, but in most cases will only change or flush the differential fluid which masks the damage already done to the clutches and may delay major breakdown until after warranty has expired.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I took my 2006 CR-V into the dealer for the same problem. It sounds like a high-pitched rubbing noise from the rear suspension area. It's actually the ring and pinion binding during tight, low-speed turns. Lovely!!! That'll be nice and cheap to fix when it finally lets go after the warranty is up.

You're correct. Honda is happy to change the differential fluid all day long as a band-aid measure. I won't be buying this bag of bolts after the lease is up. The A/C has had issues and the interior looks like my three year old assembled it (mis-aligned panel gaps abound). And the gas mileage isn't what I'd call spectacular for weak four cylinder engine. Yeah, you could say I'm a little disappointed in this vehicle. I believed the Honda hype machine. This is my first Honda and I don't see what the big deal is with things. I didn't expect perfection, but give me break. And people swear by these silly things.

I'll try a different make next time.

DT.

2007 Honda CR-V EX 4 cylinder

Summary:

See Above

Faults:

We traded our 2002 Honda Civic EX for this 2007 Honda CR-V, it is Black on Pearl and quite an head turner, it reminds you of a much more expensive auto such as a Mercedes or BMW, we upgraded the 17 inch wheels and tires for 18" wheels and tires, it has a 6 CD player in it. As for the gas mileage, so far,our best was 21 MPG in the city, but one of the best things I like about it is being so sporty looking and fun to drive, plus it has a very short turning radius, and the 4 cylinder engine has enough power for people in my wife and I's age, which is 66 and 68 respectively, the salesman said the gas mileage would increase to about 28MPG after the first oil change at 3500 miles, I would recommend this auto to anybody wanting an auto for under 30,000$.

3 months ago I bought a new Honda CR-V in Costa Rica.The dealer service is excellent and gentle. This is the best SUV I ever owned. The stereo is very good and sounds great. I recently traveled to Guanacaste (a rural Province of Costa Rica) and performed great in all kind of roads.The engine is powerful (performs better than a Toyota RAV- 4 and a Nissan X-Trail I owned too) The gas mileage was very good for a 2400 cc gasoline engine with automatic transmission : about 11 km/liter.My family really loves this car because has a beautiful shape and great performance.

Buy a PILOT instead of 2007 CR-V. Pilot is a lot of car for the money. 2007 CR-V (100% Japan) is way overpriced.
