Honda has "dumbed" down the system to allow a 2 or 3% difference in speeds before activating the clutch packs in the RT4WD system. This makes it possible to run tires that are inflated to a slightly different PSI. It also allows the car to trun without binding. When you take a sharp turn, like in a parking lot, you approach the limits of that 3% difference and the system starts to engage.

Nascar - I had it happen with mine around 45,000 miles. I'm at 85,000 now and the sound has not returned.
I am not a complainer. I want to enjoy my new EX. When I complain about problems and cons I cannot enjoy my new car. I agree that it has a better engine than the old one (the 1999 one I exchanged for). Now about the screeching noise from my new EX. Tried calling Conicelli Honda Service dept. many times. Left multiple telephone voice messages. Conicelli Honda Service Dept. did not have the courtesy to even reply any of my telephone messages. I am thoroughly frustrated with Conicelli Honda in Conshohocken, PA.
In utter frustration yesterday evening I took my new 2004 EX to the dealer and met with the Sales Manager. Gave him the key and told him to drive it himself. So we went for a drive withthe Sales Manager driving. He admitted there is a very audible screeching noise and that the noise is annoying to him also. The noise starts at about 45 MPH speed and gradually increases with speed and at about 60 MPH it is unbearable. His opinion was that the noise was coming from the new hood rack. I disagreed with him and said that the noise was there even before the hood rack was put in. But people can disagree on things. That is OK. He told me to make an appointment with the Service Dept. and bring the car in to attend to the noise.
Well, I have left three messages with the Service Dept. at Conicelli Honda from 7:30 AM, at about 10: AM I left a message with the Manager, Service Dept. It is now 11:10 AM. No one at Conicelli Honda has returned my calls to make the appointment. So I have to take a day off from work to make the appointment, another day to drop the car off etc. etc. The same routine I went with the Roof rack. I live in PA but work in New York. Conicelli Honda in Conshohocken, PA is Lousy, Lousy. Lousy. Lousy. When are they going to let me enjoy the new car.
By the way I contacted Honda. They opened a case file about this screeching noise. That was lst Thursday. I was told that a Technical person would get back to me in three days. Today is Wednesday - seven days later I am still waiting for Honda tech. person to call. What is wrong with Honda??????????????????????????
good Luck
Greetings from VA.
fig.
a growling sound from the front. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe glazed pads.
36K MILES. WHAT, IF ANY PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING AND IS IT WORTH THE COST OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY?EARLIER POSTINGS TALKED ABOUT VALVE JOBS.I WOULD LIKE TO GO 100K MILES WITHOUT ANY
PROBLEMS.SO FAR MY 02 HAS BEEN PERFECT AT 30K
MILES.HONDAS GET YOU SPOILED WITH PERFECTION AND AM FEARFUL OF TRYING OTHER BRANDS.
I think the posts were about valve adjustments, which is an entirely different thing.
JM2C
nothing out of the ordinary.Have an unbiased
3rd party test drive it.A repair shop is not
unbiased neither is a dealer.
We will finance ourselves. ALSO, I just recievved my "special internet price quote " from a local dealer. as follows: 2003 lx 20560, auto special price,18.9!
after research , I found the MRSP for a 2004 !MRSP to be 20,200 (honda website) 19.7 (edmunds)
lower than the dealers 2003 quote, what should we be paying, what about a 2002 with 20000 miles
? Thanks for the help!
Early CR-V's had a problemw ith the striker plate becoming misaligned. This lead to a noise from the back of the vehicle. I suspect that it might also cause problems with how the latch closes.
I had two car seats installed, and the anchor straps were hooked to the ceiling anchor points in the cargo area. When there was a big bump, the car seats went up and down, the anchor strap moved, and the clamp rotated - causing the noise.
If this is the case, it's not the fault of the manufacturer.
I have been closely following CRV forum along with Santa Fe forum that I am hoping they can help me to make my desicion.
Ohh! BTW, cars may not necessarly pull all the time if alignment is issue. Some times you realize you have alignment problem after the damage is done on tires.
I am just curious, If the compressor was damaged by an object and I had Hondacare Warranty would it be covered?
If you have a high deductible it probably wouldn't be worth filing a claim though.
Comfortable Runabout Vehicle.
Also, Good Luck on your purchase.
Isell, Stevedebi, Thankx for the info.
And yes, that really is a 1st Gen CR-V hiding under all of those wonderful accessories.
I consider shudder when braking.Has anybody else experinced this? Is it worth worrying about.

Type "comfortable runabout vehicle" into a search engine like google and you'll get a ton of hits.
tomsr,
You have warped rotors. This is caused by improper torquing of the wheels by someone. It can also be caused by hard, abusive driving habits.
At 30K, you may be due for front pads anyway. They can machine the rotors at that time to eliminate the shudder.
What "CR-V" stands for is part of this article.

I put in new spark plugs, dryed out all I could see, and it ran fine for 30 miles, the engine light went out, and now missing again. And the "cel" is on again.
Only have 40,000 miles on the car. Just went thru the 32,000 mile comprehensive dealer change all fluids, filters, a/c, eng tune-up, valve check, etc, etc, costing 800 dollars.
I have noticed that if I open the gas cap, a "whoosh" sound is made and the engine miss goes away for about 30 miles, then starts missing again.
Is this related to the miss, or just normal.
Is something still wet? It has been 3 weeks since I de-greased the engine.
Thanks if you can help.
I have the Ryan 7 year/100,000 mile extended warranty, that I bought when I bought the car new in Jan 2000.
