May I ask you where and when you purchased your 2010 CRV? I live in Somerset County and I have checked with the Bridgewater dealer(had not even 1), North Plainfield(would have to find one), and lastly Planet Honda in Union and they are searching for one. No one has the LX model but the loaded EX-L seems plentiful. I also would like the polished metal metallic if possible and was told it is the most limited b/c this color was just added this year and seems to be most popular. At this point it seems I will be lucky to even get any color! Does anyone here know if Honda changed or extended their financing offer from the $239 deal. I thought maybe they may go back to the $199 deal they were running this past year.
Thanks!
The car will tel lyou when you should change the lfuid with the new maintenance minder system.
Generally, it will happen every other or every 3rd oil change. It is no different that changing oil, which seems to be OK with most people, but for some odd reason, people buck at idea that other fluids need to be replaced.
I assume these people still change underwear if not daily, at least on a regular basis, or do they assume that underwear is a "lifetime" item as well?
Have you tried going on all the web sites of Honda Dealers in the area? They usually have their inventory posted online..
Good Luck!
"I wish I could sell you a car but I don't have any and no other dealer will give theirs up"! I think I am going to have to choose a different car like the GMC Terrain which I prefer the look better but they can't offer me decent leasing. I am heading out 1 more time this Sat.& will let you know if someone has a car to sell me. LOL
Is there a specific set up or color combination you are looking for?
You can use any brand of engine oil as long as falls within the spec for your engine.
ATF, DPF, and PS fluids are Honda or Showa only. Since Showa does not sell retail in the US, you are limited to buying it from Honda.
Coolant and brake fluids have comparable aftermarket, but the cost savings are minimal over using Honda branded fluids.

Thanks
Why would you have a rear differential in a FWD vehicle?
Bend down behind your Cr-V and look through the middle. If there is a giant hole in the middle of the rear suspension, then you don't have a rear differential and you don't need to change the differential fluid.
If you see a "pumpkin" in there, then you got a heck of a deal on an AWD CR-V, but only paid FWD price, but you will have to change the fluid every 30,000 miles.
see i told u i was all confused. Im looking to buy a 2006 crv so thats why i was asking hehehe. oh btw is 13800 a fair price for a 2006 crv lx with 42377 miles?

A/c crashed last week, took to dealer, while there had them look at rear differential, they replaced fluid and so far seems to be fixed. started groaning approx. 55,000miles. Thought it may be due to new tires, so had the 4 wheel alignment done at local shop. Also had been pulling to the right since we have owned it. Discovered here that it was a problem with the front damper system. Showed dealer a copy of an internal service bulletin (4/2005), still refused to repair, out of warranty.
So, why not change it your self? What woudl you charge to change a differential on someone's car?
I still think you shold replace the DPF, as stated in the TSB and see if it helps. Chances are it will.
Unless they are using a 100% mark-up on the honda part so it's $2400 for the diff and $2100 in labor.
1. WRITE A SHORT LETTER TO CORPORATE HONDA DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM -
2. HAVE THE LETTER NOTORIZED AND SEND CERTIFIED MAIL SIGNATURE CARD REQURED AND SEND IT TO American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Honda Automobile Customer Service

Mail Stop: 500 - 2N - 7D
Torrance, CA 90501-2746
3. FILE A COMPLAINT AT https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/
I JUST DID AND I AM ALSO CALLING THE LEMON LAW LAWYER. THERE ARE A TON OF THEM ON THE INTERNET.
The most generous Lemon Laws cover is 2 years. When you bought the vehicle, you should have been given a Lemon Law disclosure form and it should have your signature on it, meaning that you read and understood the Lemon Law disclosure.
And please don't someone say, oh, just look under "Maintenance" at Page 255 in the Owner's Manual. It ain't in that section. It just wants you to go with the magical "maintenance minder" and its pretty little lights on the dashboard.
I want to find where Honda says after XX miles, do Y.

Take a look at this link for more info/comments on your rear diff problem. http://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1249
The hard cold facts seem to indicate that it’s the luck of the draw as to who gets the problem as well as which dealers provide service at no cost to the owner.
My dealer replaced my DPF to DPFII and burnished the clutch at no charge and since then I have my rear diff serviced by my by mechanic every 30k
True, not all Vs are affected which is possibly why Honda did not address this issue in a global recall.
My recommendation for you in the short term is to bite the bullet and have the rear diff serviced ..then go about investigating your legal options if that’s what you want
Good luck
you spent $500 on new tires?
Why not try and the differential fluid change? It is only $80 at the dealer, or $12 at home. It needs to be drained, refilled, driven 3 times, as suggested by other posts.
Class action will get you nowhere!
Yo la verdad es que tengo que añadir que yo compré un CR-V 2.2 diesel en noviembre de 2007 en el concesionario de Gijón oficial Honda, y llevo más de un año luchando para solucionar un problema en el eje trasero de la transmisión. Hace un ruido al girar en marchas cortas, lo llevé al taller, ya que sigue en garantía, y me dicen que es el aceite del eje trasero, me lo cambian y a los 7 ó 10 días vuelve a suceder lo mismo, me lo llevan cambiando ya 5 veces, mañana será la 6ª, el coche lleva 4 meses con una vibración por autopista bastante incómoda añadiéndole además, el ruido ya no solo al girar, sino ta´mbién el línea recta. en Noviembre del año pasado lo he notificado junto con la reclamación que he puesto a atención al cliente de Honda España, pero anteriormente lo había notificado por vía telefónica, mi coche sigue con el problema, el tiempo sigue pasando y la garantía se termina. NADIE da una solución. ¿Qué hice?, me puse en contacto con la revista Autofácil, que han hecho de intermediarios, me llamó atención al cliente para que pasara cuanto antes por mi taller oficial de Gijón para solucionar definitivamente la problemática de mi coche. ¿qué me han dicho?, que se había realizado mal el cambio del aceite en mi vehículo y que lo tendrían que hacer según el boletín oficial de Honda. Podemos hacerlo mal una vez, ¿pero 5?, habiendo puesto incluso reclamaciones??La consecuencia a la mala actuación la sufre ahora mi coche, esa vibración bastante desagradable tanto para los que van sentados en la parte trasera como el que conduce que lo sufre en la dirección (volante) y en todo el coche, añadiendo el ruido pertinente.
Compré mi coche con la mayor ilusión, pero no estoy teniendo buena experiencia con el servicio post-venta del mismo. Pasamos "la pelota" de unos a otros y creo que me dará bastante que hacer.
La serie de 2007, por foros que leí, ha salido con unas piezas del eje trasero defectuosas y que en HondaSpirit, según leí, la solución está en cambiar el eje trasero (3mil euros de coste) que viene defectuoso de fácbrica.
En fin, dejo esto aquí para que si alguien tiene el mismo problema que yo, pueda tener una referencia.
Muchas gracias.
Un saludo.
Had the noise and vibration, tried having the rear differential oil changed 5 times. After about a week, the noise and vibration returned - this happens when turning & when travelling in a straight line. No one could figure out what the problem was. Complained about the noise repeatedly to Honda, with no resolution to the problem. This was all under warranty.
Then, the warranty ran out - that's when he complained to the car magazine, who tried to act as an intermediary. At that point, they (assuming that means Honda) claimed that the rear differential oil was changed incorrectly, and not in accordance with the Honda service bulletin. Couldn't fathom how that could have happened not one, but FIVE times, especially since he was complaining to Honda throughout the process.
It appears that he has NOT had his car fixed, and that the noise and vibration continue, and is especially uncomfortable for rear passengers.
He bought his car with great enthusiasm, but is very disappointed at how after-sale service has gone, and feels they have passed the ball around without actually helping him. He's read here and on other forums that parts of the rear axle in the 2007s are defective, and that it will cost the owner 3,000 Euros (~$4,300) to replace the defective part. He's posted here hoping that others who have had the same problem might be able to help him find resolution.
Our mechanic said he can fix it we are taking to him to see if he actually can.
One mechanic said the rear internal settings are not aligned correctly.
Will post when we know for sure.
making the fluid to fail prematurely or get contaminated as they claim. Honda can re-formulate their DPF II, III, IV, V, VI, VII but the real solution is to re-design some of the parts which they have not done, maybe the materials they use to make those parts etc. etc.
I believe prospective buyers of CRV's should be informed of this decade-long problem that Honda until now has TOTALLY IGNORED. All those bad rear differentials from 1999 -2007 should be replaced by Honda at no cost to the owners. Maybe a global RECALL is needed.
To me probable means MAYBE OR POSSIBLE. In the court of law it means nothing. No accused is going to jail only because of POSSIBLE CAUSE. That's just telling me HONDA is totally in the dark. I will never buy anything made by Honda and will convince others to do the same.
I'm looking at a 2011 AWD
Is it OK to wait? I'm concerned it could cause bigger problems if I do? Is there any other fix? Not sure if the fluid was ever changed (I've had it since 20K miles)? Should I chage the fluid?
Suggestions appreciated.
It was explained to me that it's comparable to having the oil in the engine changed. I was also told that if the rear diff eventually gave out from not having the fluid changed, it would be huge to fix, somewhere around $3K. If you didn't have a Honda dealer look at it, I would suggest doing that. BTW, you can only have the rear diff done by Honda. Good luck, I hope this helps!
I'd like to see that in the owner's manual...
