07 Honda CRV with Rear Main Seal Leak
Purchased 12/23/06. On 12/30/07 noticed oil on floor & took it to nearest
Honda dealer, not the one I bought it from as I did not want to drive too far not knowing the cause of the leak. Tentively diagnosed as rear main engine seal leak. Dealer rep told me NOT to drive it home to wait for the parts to come in as I might experience other problems. Parts to be ordered 1/2/07. The rear main engine seal was replaced on 1/4/07 and on 1/6 I found oil on the garage floor. This repair was done by the closest Honda dealer not the one I bought the car from. Which dealer do I go back to for further repair in order to possibly qualify for replacement or money back under the Lemon Law? |

Thanks for the info! That's the exact same problem with the 2003/2004 CR-V's that caused fires and explosions and you are lucky your CR-V did not burst into flames. Now I am officially crossing the CR-V off my list. I picked up the new Consumer Reports and the highest rated SUV is the Toyota RAV-4, while the Honda CR-V wasn't even on the list. |

Truth is, the problem still exists today and my future purchase decision will be based (in part) on those facts. Oh and the Toyota RAV-4 scored higher on the latest Consumer Reports (magazine edition), where the CR-V wasn't even on the "Best & Worst in RELIABILITY" list. |

You're stupid analysis won't be missed here. Now move along! Go spread your infection elsewhere. |

Uh, no it isn't. That was caused by problems with the oil filter. This is a main seal problem. > >Now I am officially crossing the CR-V off my list. > >I picked up the new Consumer Reports and the highest rated SUV is the Toyota >RAV-4, while the Honda CR-V wasn't even on the list. You have the January issue. Wait a few days for the February issue to hit the stands. CRV is rated just below RAV4. The Escape is rated below Hyundai and Kia. > |

There is no evidence that the problem that caused the fires in '03 and '04 has been seen in over two years. As has now been explained to you, this is a completely different problem and it is too early to assume that it is anything other than an isolated problem with this particular vehicle. >Oh and the Toyota RAV-4 scored higher on the latest Consumer Reports >(magazine edition), where the CR-V wasn't even on the "Best & Worst in >RELIABILITY" list. CRV has predicted reliability much better than average, just like the RAV4. See the Feb. issue of CR. As for picking a car that's right for you, I am going to strongly recommend the RAV4 so that you can go haunt the Toyota group with your hysteria. |

All state lemon laws are in one of the manuals which came with your car.
The action is against the factory, not the dealer. I suspect you can bring it to any dealer but read the manual. "Norm" > wrote in message ink.net... > Purchased 12/23/06.
