One problem related to axle shaft has been reported for the 1999 Honda CR-V. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Our 1999 Honda Cr-v lx required both front axles replaced at 40,900 miles. No explanation from the dealer as to how both front axles would fail (they were bent), let alone at 40,000+ miles. Our own mechanic did some research and advised this is a known problem with this car but would not elaborate further. No technical service bulletin from Honda and when again pressed the dealer advised, we must have hit something. ¿ the was no such impact and if in fact we did "hit" something there would have been additional structural and or body damage as a result.
