| Description of the problem | I bought crv ex 2w in april, 2010. I noticed a driveline vibration either from transmission or engine when i drive on downhill highway and underpowered in 40-50 mph. It seemed that 5th gear refused to downshifted. I reported it in few days, but the dealer told me that nothing was wrong. I continued to have the same problem; i took it to another dealer twice. One time the dealer mechanic noticed that something was not right, but later they told me that nothing was found wrong. I saw service bulletin to upgrade engine software, so i took it to the dealer in march 2011. They said that they did not know of the bulletin. I showed the copy of the bulletin issued on nov 2010. They acknowledged it, and upgraded the software. It improved a little bit of the underpower problem, but did not fix the drive line vibration in driving on downhill highway. A few times, i was afraid that the engine would fall apart from the car. The worst time of it is when i drive it first in the morning though i warm up the engine enough. |
