Depends on the state. Here in CA, you can invoke the law if the vehicle is in the shop 3 times for the same problem or 30 total days out of service in a year. There may be qualifications to this law; I would speak with a lawyer I was in your situation and wanted to go further.
"It is true that most newly introduced or redesigned models have more problems than later model years of that design. This happens even to models from the most reliable manufacturers, such as Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura. But despite the decline in reliability due to the new design, reliability of first-year models from those manufacturers were still at least on par with the average model and within our reliability criteria for recommendation. In the second year, those models often improve and compare well to other models of the same age.

..return key to off position and retry..starts as if nothing was wrong..?? When starting this vehicle it seems to me it turns over slowly...I keep my fingers crossed it will start in this cold weather (sub 20* F)...any thoughts by anyone..???..Ours was purchased in October..had TPMS issues from the start...took three trips,two overnights and one new TPM installed on LF wheel...
You're much better off working with the dealer, rather than threatening a lemon law suit, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
41011-R09-000 CASE KIT, T.C.D. 1 2007 CR-V $1316.77
They also show on the invoice Honda Dual Pump Fluid and Hondabond HT sealant in the repair. I have driven the vehicle approximately 50 miles since the repair and the driveline is a smooth as glass and with out any noise at all while completing low speed u-turns in either direction. I hope this solves the problem. Now, I can install my Curt 2.5 hitch in the next couple of days.

Like any good new car owner, I'll have my husband test it like crazy....

Applies to: 2007 CR-V – From VIN JHLRE4...7C000001 thru JHLRE4...7C035374
So somehow, all of the dealer talk of just a handful of units affected, ended up being over 35k of them.
Long story short I took my car in for one noise and they told me that they didn't hear that but that they found that the rear diff oil needed to be swapped out. I mentioned that I read about a service alert and thought my problem sounded very similar. My service advisor said that he never heard of such a thing and that this normally doesn't occur until 30,000 miles or so, but hey "a car has a lot of parts and anything can go wrong with any of them." I looked on the Honda service bulletin and my vin is beyond the range listed. Only help the service advisor could give me was the Honda America phone #. 2 questions: 1) What damage does bad oil do to your car? I've had this noise a while and thought it was something else. Nervous there was perm damage done. Any insight? 2) Anyone else out there that has this problem and isn't listed in the VINs of the service bulletin?
What a headache for a new car! I would think you'd deal with this on a used car, but a new one... learned my lesson about buying a new model I guess!

okay, took me awhile to check on this. I think I may have missed the posting. But it looks like my VIN # falls just past this so hopefully we are okay. I have not noticed anything with my car. And usually I am not a daily driver. However, since we bought in the spring and all the year end activities with the kids and daily summer swim lessons, I have been driving way more than usual so I would think I'd have seen something by now.
If the object is over the pound limit it doesn't come on. So it senses any weight and comes on if there is any weight on the seat below the weight of the small child, it stays on. At least that's what I've noticed. 2007 EXLx2.
What is the killswitch in the vehicle..the service mgr said there is one in the CRV and you have to turn the key all the way to start it or it wont start? I do turn it all the way, but I am still having this problem intermittently where it wont start on the first turn of the key
This may have nothing to do with your problem, but my 2007 CR-V will not start as quickly as my previous car ('98 Accord). When I do a quick turn of the key, it doesn't start. When I hold it a second longer it starts without a problem.
Is the starter motor a little underpowered? Possibly. It doesn't seem to turn the engine over as fast as other cars I've owned. Maybe they wanted to save a little weight or money.
Now that I've adjusted to the difference, it starts fine. Good luck.
I am thinking about buying a 2007 Honda CR-V but don't want to until I see the known issues....I wish I would have done this same thing before buying my 2007 Camry XLE V6!!
I would REALLY appreciate your feedback!
My 2004 crv does the same thing, did you find out what the problem is, I contacted the dealer and they informed me to bring it in. What also happens with my crv, the "D"- Drive on the transmission shifter flashes.
