Yes, the CR-V is not perfect, which NO VEHICLE made is completely problem
free, ESPECIALLY SUV's. My 1999 CR-V EX 5-Speed, which is one of the five
vehicles I own has less than 20k miles, so time and miles are low.
I have a manual transmission and believe the "lurking" you describe is an
automatic problem.
IF IT MAKES YA HAPPY;
My CR-V does have an annoying problem with the lower seat adjustment
gradually letting the seat lower itself while driving long distances. I
like the thigh support up high, the vehicle must like it low LOL! If I took
the time, the adjustment knob probably needs a little tightening.
If real problems that are engineered into a car make you happy, buy a
Plymouth Breeze/Dodge Stratus. We have them as lease vehicles at work, true
crap. They keep blowing crank seals and the oil lights have yet to work on
the vast majority when this happens.
Oh, we also have a Ford full-size Van that the ABS "locks" the rear wheels
at random, can be fun and dangerous at very interesting times. The
aforementioned vehicles have less than 10,000 miles and are in the shop
constantly for the same problems.
VERDICT FROM THE SHOP: Poor manufacturer engineering but they'll keep
fixing them under warranty! Someone (MANY?) has to die in a crash from the
ABS or a blown motor malfunction before major manufacturer action.
