NHTSA complaint #11076213, filed 2018-03, 141,234 miles“2005 Honda CR-V. Rear differential. Manual states replace rd fluid every 90k, but dealer continues to claim must be done every 10k. Who to believe? Not sure of the consequences. My complaint to the dealer was front end noise on hard turns and that was their diagnosis. How could the fluid break down that soon? None of my previous vehicles ever had the problem.”
