I just bought My wife a 2004 CRV ELX with approx 30.000 mikes on it. Very nice little SUV. After driving it for about a week she mentioned to me that the brakes seemed to grab just before coming to a stop. I took it for a spin and what it felt like to me was the transmission downshifting ?? just before the vehicle stopped. She took it in today to a dealer and they said it was the transmission and that it would have to be replaced. No specific detail, just replaced. It is still under warrenty so no need for me to go postal. We have two other Honda's and an integra in the family and I am more than impressed with the quality. Has anyone heard of an issue like this on CRV transmission. I haven't actually spoke to the dealer but I will try and provide more info after they replace it next Monday.
