I have a 2007 CR-V EX-L AWD that was bot in Oct, 2006. One of the very first of this current bodystyle produced. At 18,000 miles now it's been fine except for a problem that just (I think) developed. At times it "spudders/shudders". It's intermittent, but often does it at startup and can be best demonstrated by turning the car into a hard turn radius, either left or right and driving into the hardest possible (shortest radius) circle. Again, however, it's intermittent so even the hard turn thing frequently doesn't reproduce the problem. When we first got this CR-V there was talk (on this bulletin board, I think) about a rear axle problem, as the vehicle made a slight noise on sharp turns very very very infrequently. The dealer found nothing and I sort of forgot about it (my daughter drove the car until recently so I was not tuned into it...but she did not complain about anything). Now daughter is at college and we've noticed this problem/noise/shudder. It is possible that this has been going on a while and she just thought it was normal (hey, she's a kid!). This very much reminds me, when I was a kid, of my mother's 1970 Chevy Nova when the power steering pump went a few years into ownership. Power steering? Rear axle? Transmission? It's very hard to sort this out. I hate to waste another trip to the dealer where it doesn't "misbehave" in front of strangers. But with just 1 year left on the warranty I need to get this sorted out. Any hints, help, ideas?
