Noise from engine or transmission cant tell

check your shift silinoed my freind had thsame problem on trans

I would take the vehicle to the dealer and leave it there. Period. Tell them you don't want it back or even a phone call until it is properly repaired.

Your right, it should not be rough,, but it should downshift, and no its not a good thing for the trany,,

you can try a trany flush.

Find another Honda Dealer and tell them the trans doesnt shift right and it makes noise, go along with the tech on a test drive so he can feel and hear what your are feeling/ hearing.

This is a 2009 with 8k on the odometer! Give it right back to the dealer! The Whinning when car is cold says it all to me .Its the begining of the oil pump in the torque convertor. Any Decent Tech will tell you that! Once the pump is bad it explains all your other symptons. Keep me posted.

The sound could also be from the fuel pump. This comes on a cold engine. The way to sort it is to change your driving technique. Do not accelerate too much till the temp gauge starts showing the change. for the first minute or two if you do not accelerate too much then you may not hear the sound the rest of the day. Let the engine/fuel pump warm up a little and then you drive your normal self.

Check your belt. Belts will whine when they're worn, cracked or glazed. I hope this was helpful. It's not normal. Take care and God bless.

Does the noise come from the engine or transmission, Pull the dipstick tube from the transmission when it is warm and smell it for a burnt smell.Check oil dipstick for any water or white paste.

An '09 has a 3 yr 36K Warranty......take it to the dealer.
Even if the milege is over 36K......it will probably be fixed for free if you complain to the right person......call American Honda

Your post interested me, as I just purchased the same vehicle lasts month. The grinding noise while attempting to start the CRV sounds like like a problem with the starter 'clashing ' with the flywheel. When you turn the key to start there is , a small gear in the starter on a shaft that advances (moves down the shaft) and meshes with the flywheel (which is a large 'gear'). When they mesh together, the starter gear will spin, and turn the flywheel, which 'cranks' the engine over to start. When a car is old, you can experience a loud grinding noise, as the wear and tear can cause the gears to clash, not mesh smoothly. Since this is an '09, that of course isn't a wear and tear issue, something was not tightened during assembly, or is defective. You MUST bring it to the dealer, to establish that there is a problem, even if they deny it. To continue to drive it could cause damage to components (actually driving it is probably ok, it's the starting it that will cause damage). So, insist that they check it out, you may be surprised by their desire to fix it, and have a happy customer to advertise their cooperation and quick fix of the problem. Hondas are great cars, hopefully this is a rare minor assembly or defective part glitch that will be quickly fixed. Keep me posted as to your visit to the dealer. Remember that you can bring it to any Honda dealer, although I would start with the one where I purchased it. The car is under warranty, get them to fix it, and enjoy your new car.
