2 Transmission Gear Slipping problem of the 2006 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 10/14/2012

I just had a complete transmission failure with my 2006 Honda Cr-v 4wd at 118,000 miles. The transmission failed within a few days and gave little warning until complete failure occurred. The transmission would slip in all gears, so I could not put the vehicle directly into 1st, 2nd, 3rd,or 4th gear to get the vehicle off the highway. Luckily, I was close to home when the transmission failed but it took a few engine cool downs to get the vehicle driven off the highway to a safe location to be towed to my local Honda dealership. Honda said the transmission was completely blown and needed to be replaced with a factory-rebuild. I own two other Honda's (one is a 1990 accord with about 250,000 miles on it) and have never had a transmission problem in either car. I just don't understand how I can have a 23 year old Honda with 250,000 miles on it that has seen absolutely no transmission problems but have a much newer 6 year old 118,000 mile Honda Cr-v with a 100% failed transmission needing compete replacement. I have searched all over the internet and I see numerous complaints about 100% complete transmission failures with 2004-2006 Honda Cr-v's. There is definitely something going on with these newer Cr-v transmissions that Honda has not reported (as of yet). The Honda dealership I took my car to, said that I was the 1st Cr-v transmission they ever replaced from the 2004-2006 Cr-v series. Honda originally quoted my $4000 to replace the transmission with a factory-rebuilt but they contacted the regional Honda rep and was able to lower the price down to $3000. That price is absurd, as I just cannot believe that a transmission will only last 118,000 miles. It will be very tough for my family to even think about purchasing any Honda's in the future. I have talked to everyone about how great Honda cars are, with a 23 year old Honda still going. No more will I recommend a Honda!.
