2014 Honda CRV all wheel drive

Driving on snow (lots of recent experience) you get some experience with this. There is a yellow triangle symbol on the dash that comes on when a wheel is slipping and you get a grinding like sound when the other wheels pick up the slack. I think it's a situation where it only engages when a wheel loses traction. I don't know if that just the AWD or the variable traction control (or what ever they call it).

Driving the CRV in snow is great compared to previous cars I've owned. Anti-lock brakes and the AWD makes is so much safer.

Much appreciated! So basically let it do its own thing and it will go into the proper category when its needed.

Not a hijack, just a note of suggestion.

As dturm noted, you could get a "grinding" noise when the wheel with grip kicks in. Could also get the same noise during tight turns.

If you hear this, have the rear tansaxle fluid changed. That will stop it.

Current CRV: 2005 CRV 156K miles, 60K towed. Purchased used off leaseback.

Last CRV: 1988 168K when turned in. 30K towed. Also purchased used off leaseback.

No mechanical issues with either other than normal wear and tear.

Will buy 2013, again used, when they start showing up on the lots.

Great vehicle.

Lots of discussion about 2013 CRV. We are looking at a 2012 for towing 4 down. They must be great cars. I see a lot of them behind motorhomes.

Just remember that driving over 65 will fry the transmission

Not true. We do it all the time.
