2004 CRV transmission problem
I just bought My wife a 2004 CRV ELX with approx 30.000 mikes on it.
Very nice little SUV. After driving it for about a week she mentioned to me that the brakes seemed to grab just before coming to a stop. I took it for a spin and what it felt like to me was the transmission downshifting ?? just before the vehicle stopped. She took it in today to a dealer and they said it was the transmission and that it would have to be replaced. No specific detail, just replaced. It is still under warrenty so no need for me to go postal. We have two other Honda's and an integra in the family and I am more than impressed with the quality. Has anyone heard of an issue like this on CRV transmission. I haven't actually spoke to the dealer but I will try and provide more info after they replace it next Monday. |

They all shift 'rudely' when you're coasting to a stop. They will also 'slam' into a gear if you touch the gas just before that happens. If your dealer wants to give you another tranny (things may be slow in his service department) that's OK. Personally, I'd just ask him to run 10 litres of Z1 through it, unless his diagnostic tools have confirmed there's more to it. I just don't like handing my Hondas over to the dealer since they had to replace THREE rear differentials to figure out that it was a bad wheel bearing. :-( Bozos 'Curly' |

Got it back today with a new transmission. The service Mgr was not able to tell me exactly what was wrong, just that it wasn't right. "one in a million" Said it was being sent back to Honda and that when they got the report they would send a copy to me. That little downshift event just prior to stopping is definatly gone. I'm fairly impressed with the outcome since it didn't cost me anything. I guess others that might see this and have CRVs should be aware that even something that seems minor like this did to me, is worth having checking into. |
