Piston Slap: My Wife's Funky Ride?

Paul writes:

Sajeev –

My wife has a 2009 CRV EX-L with a bit over 100,000 miles on it. Its a great car in great condition and seems to have quite a bit of life left in it. Lots of highway miles in a short period of time have been easy on it. But there are two issues:

1) Every time I get in it I smell a very strong musty odor.
2) My wife swears it doesn’t exist.

Yuda Very dystopian. Not good.
EBFlex Yes. They don’t work.
THX1136 I remember watching the 'Wonderful World of Disney' back when I was kid. One program imagined the future. In that future one could get in their car, tell it the chosen destination and the car would take you there without any further intervention. As a pre-teen I thought that sounded pretty cool. Now I'd be more on the side of wanting to drive when I want and letting the car do the driving when I don't. Not scared of autonomous vehicles, not ready to completely abandon driving myself either.
Dave M. Always thought these were a great design, timeless in fact. But as a former Volvo owner who was bled to death by constant repairs starting around 40k miles, run far far away
