I have an '02 with about 53k, and when I recently checked the fluid in the tranmission, I saw these grind marks on the dipstick. I asked my local mechanic if...
I'm thinking about gettiing a CR-V. One of the things I want to do with it is using it to tow a small pop up camper. The specs say it can tow a 1500 pound...
I towed 2 large motorcycles to Daytona from Indy last year. About 1400 lbs total. No problem whatsoever. I bought a aftermarket bolt on T hitch made by Valley...
I pulled a popup with my 2000 crv last year a few times. I prepped the cr-v with a brake controller and a heavier duty hitch. Some info is at my website in the...
Hi all, I have a 2005 CRV. A couple of times I noticed the back window was open (unlocked). How could this happen? I suppose I could have accidentally pressed...
Sounds like a dealer/warranty item. You might want to take it back to them and check the electrical. On a side note, it could be electronic interference from...
Thanks for the reply. It only happened twice, so It's hard to define a pattern at this point. I haven't even been in the back in the vehicle for quite some...
I recently changed the cabin air filter myself since the dealer wanted to charge two hours labor. Turns out it's not an easy job (at least for me) but after...
My daughter is looking at buying a 2001 CR-V EX with 76, 000 miles and a 5 speed. There is a noise in the shifting from second to third that sounds like a...
Best luck I have had with finding vehicle issues is to go to the dealer and head directly back to the garage where service is done. Don't talk to the numbnuts...
Thanks for the input, Paul. She is taking it to her favorite mechanic tomorrow for his opinion. My daughter lives about 150 miles from me, and I don't have the...
Another question about my daughter's CR-V shopping. The salesman at the Honda dealer told her that the 4WD on the CR-V's automatically turn off above 45 MPH....
Mine is 2WD so can't help you there. Unless you're daughter is an avid off-road enthusiast, stay away from 4WD. More expensive maintenance, higher repair...
WHAT! You have to be kidding. If Gary is in Minnesota and his daughter is within 150 miles of her, to my knowledge that puts her snow-country. No, the CRV is...
Hi, It might be true that the 4wd switches off after gaining speed because in my CRV there is no any button to eject 4wd, may be other guys out there might...
I am in Southern California and have to ask, What is snow? Yeah you are absolutley right for that type of weather. Here, if you have 4WD, you are typically a...
It was my understanding that it is 2-wheel drive unless the front wheels starting slipping then the rear wheels kick in. My assumption is that once you stop...
For the record although I haven't had the opportunity to use my '04 CRV in snow yet I have taken it off the paved roads more than once. While geocaching I've...
Scott is right on about our climate, which is exactly why I want her in an AWD CR-V. The manager from the Honda dealership went out for a test ride with her...

Funny!! I bet that was quite a sight that they are still talking about. My wife is jealous now because daughter has a CR-V before her...and daughter wasn't...
Jon's right. I remember a test quite a few years ago in a magazine where they compared two brand new Chevy pickups. The only difference was that one was 2WD...
As mentioned previously, the CRV has Real-Time AWD and not Full-Time AWD. The rear wheels will only receive power when the front wheels are slipping. Once...
The CRV is my wife's. I had taken it out once and did a bit of mountain climbing and she heard the stories from others that were there..."I couldn't believe it...
From my experiences I'd have to say yes. I don't know for sure, but I have done some pretty high speed playing out on the ice in the winter with all four tires...
