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 AWD TRACTION, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT.

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 ALSO REPLACED TWO COMPRESSORS IN HER 2006 HONDA CRV AT LOWER MILEAGE INTERVALS. NO MORE HONDAS FOR ME! *TR

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 COOL DOWNS TO GET THE VEHICLE DRIVEN OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A SAFE LOCATION TO BE TOWED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. HONDA SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A FACTORY-REBUILD. I OWN TWO OTHER HONDA'S (ONE IS A 1990 ACCORD WITH ABOUT 250,000 MILES ON IT) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN EITHER CAR. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN HAVE A 23 YEAR OLD HONDA WITH 250,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAS SEEN ABSOLUTELY NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT HAVE A MUCH NEWER 6 YEAR OLD 118,000 MILE HONDA CR-V WITH A 100% FAILED TRANSMISSION NEEDING COMPETE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SEARCHED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT 100% COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITH 2004-2006 HONDA CR-V'S. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THESE NEWER CR-V TRANSMISSIONS THAT HONDA HAS NOT REPORTED (AS OF YET). THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I TOOK MY CAR TO, SAID THAT I WAS THE 1ST CR-V TRANSMISSION THEY EVER REPLACED FROM THE 2004-2006 CR-V SERIES. HONDA ORIGINALLY QUOTED MY $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A FACTORY-REBUILT BUT THEY CONTACTED THE REGIONAL HONDA REP AND WAS ABLE TO LOWER THE PRICE DOWN TO $3000. THAT PRICE IS ABSURD, AS I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A TRANSMISSION WILL ONLY LAST 118,000 MILES. IT WILL BE VERY TOUGH FOR MY FAMILY TO EVEN THINK ABOUT PURCHASING ANY HONDA'S IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE TALKED TO EVERYONE ABOUT HOW GREAT HONDA CARS ARE, WITH A 23 YEAR OLD HONDA STILL GOING. NO MORE WILL I RECOMMEND A HONDA! *TR

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

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 IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE PLACE WHERE I NORMALLY GET MY SERVICE. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE WITH THEM AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS FULL OF CLEAN OIL AND PROPERLY SERVICED. *TR
