Just started @ ~500 miles
Hey all, just purchased our 2017 CR-V and really like the car. It's primarily my wife's car, so I haven't gotten to drive it much since we picked it up last weekend, until yesterday, and noticed kind of a "roar" or vibration that starts above about 67 MPH. Having looked at some other threads on things to look for, I checked the tire pressure and they were 3-4 lbs over-inflated, but not as bad as some people have experienced. I also tried to put the car into "S" to increase the engine RPMs to see if that changed anything, but I don't think it made a difference. Neither did driving faster (closer to 80 MPH).
Anyway, I took it back into the dealer today (Frank Ancona in the KC Metro area, whom I have been impressed with so far). The service advisor and I went for a drive and he said he could notice it as well and that it wasn't right. He wasn't aware of any other 2017s having experienced this problem, or any bulletins that had been published. We took another 2017 for a drive (a Touring model, not that this should matter), and didn't experience the vibration, so something is up.
The 2017 we drove had the Hankook tires, mine has the Bridgestones
I read about balancing the driveshaft, and mentioned this forum to him as well. He said that based on what he knew, that kind of made sense, but didn't want to go tearing into a brand new car w/o speaking to the Honda techs in California first on Monday AM (which I definitely appreciated).
So at this point, I'm at least glad to know that the noise wasn't there previously, and that I'm not crazy
As far as what to do next, we'll see what the Honda techs say... he thought we could try swapping the wheels and tires from another model on the lot that has the Hankooks to eliminate that as a potential issue, but we're not thinking it seems like a wheel/balance issue. Whatever the case, I'll likely be taking it back in for service this week, after only 500 miles.
Anyone else have any recent experience with this issue? I don't know the exact date of manufacturing, but supposedly we picked it up right after it came in on the truck a little over a week ago... he said they can't keep them in stock. We do really like it, so hopefully this is a minor issue that gets resolved quickly. Thanks in advance for any replies!
