Transmission rattled after a cold start when the gear changed from 2 to 3 at speed rising from 25 passing 30 mph. They changed the transmission fluid in hope it would help fix the rattle issue,but it didn't help; the rattle issue still persist and seemingly is getting more obvious. The fluid was supposedly changed in 2015. But it looked dirty, suggesting that it wasn't actually changed. 
72000 mi

US $1905
Replaced torque converter, which was the cause for vibration during gear change (from 2-3 and speed rising from 20 passing 30 mph) after cold start. This vibration issue was observed since Sep 16 but the same dealership could not diagnose it until now. Also the transmission pressure switch was failing; this issue was not related to the vibration gear change but causing D light to flash.

Replace drive shaft seal 
109000 mi

US $650
Worn U-joints causing severe vibration. Honda U-joints are integral to the drive shaft so drive shaft was replaced with after market drive shaft

Another AWD rear axle oil change to stop the rumble. (If transfer case too full, noise continues until proper level is met.) 
16000 mi Growling noise coming from rear differential. Dealer changed out DPF fluid and noise went away immediately. 
14000 mi Made a clicking noise at low speed with the steering cranked. The first 25,000 or so 2007 CR-Vs have a problem with the all wheel drive's differential clutch pack. Most dealers try to change the fluid, but this doesn't fix it. Replaced clutch pack 
18000 mi Seemed to be some transmission issue that the dealer couldn't identify. The typical, "it didn't do it for us" syndrome. It would flash the CEL, and you couldn't move past maybe 20mph. It always did this after a left hand turn. Shut the car off and it ... 
12400 mi Squeaking/rubbing sound when turning at low speeds. Rear differential fluid replaced. 
17000 mi Common problem: grinding noise in differential for all-wheel drive when turning. They changed the fluid, which gets contaminated with moisture, and burnished the clutches. 
13000 mi TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY DRAINED 4 WHEEL DRIVE BOX AND GARNISHED GEARS AND INSTALLED NEW FLUID BUT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM MUST TAKE BACK ASAP AND LET THEM KEEP IT FOR A DAY TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NOISE IS. 
14111 mi TOOK O7 CRV BACK FOR SAME PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S WRONG AND WHY IT MAKES THIS SOUND SO WAS TOLD THEY DROVE A 2008 CRV AND IT MAKES SAME SOUND WAS TOLD IF SOUND BOTHERS ME LET THE REAR WINDOW DOWN A LITTLE- IF THIS ISN'T A GOOD.. TOOK BACK TO DEALER FOR SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE, REAR DIFF. NOISE IS CONSTANT AT 50-56MPH, NOISE IS A LOW PITCH HUMMM, MOSTLY ON FLAT SURFACES. THEY CKED AND TESTED ANOTHER CRV SAME NOISE NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF CAR FLUID LEVELS AND CONDITION GOOD. 5 HR

17000 mi At 9,000 miles the rear end made a noise and Honda replaced the rear end fluid. They used the wrong fluid and it started making noise again at 17,000 miles. This time the technician used the correct fluid and told me the problem will not come back. 
20000 mi Vibration from the rear differential when driving in reverse especially in cold weather. This is a known issue and a TSB has been issued. 
78000 mi
