I have a 1999 Honda Cr-v and have had problems with the transmission about 1. 5 years after I bought it new. Gears don't shift right, wouldn't go into gear, I had a new transmission installed and still have same problem. The major thing is the clear coat paint keeps peeling alot of little places, 2 areas are big & it's getting the actual paint and rusting. I did purchase (was dumb) the finishing touch system that get's done once a year (I don't really know what they do) and that could be the problem.
Major issues: extreme vibration in front suspension when starting out from a stop; even with automatic transmission the car rolls backward on the slightest incline when foot is taken off the brake pedal; the tires are very slippery on wet surfaces causing the car to slide and skid.
