HONDA CRV 2005 PULLS TO THE RIGHT//CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE AND ALIGNMENT/NOT TORQUE STEER/REQUIRES CONSTANT LEFT PRESSURE ON STEERING WHEEL. *JB

HONDA CR-V, 8,000 MILES, YEAR 2005, ENGINE STALLED , LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, RESTARTED OK, DEALER CHECKED OUT CAR AND COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. OCCURRED IN CITY DRIVING AT 25 MILES PER HOUR. *NM

VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT ALL THE TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT DIDN'T HELP. I HAVE SINCE DRIVEN TWO OTHER 2005 HONDA CR-V'S THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS SOON AS YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL THE VEHICLES WILL IMMEDIATELY PULL TO THE RIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLIANT ON MANY OF THE FORUMS BOARDS IE: EDUMONDS.COM *JB

WITH ONLY 6900 MILES ON OUR 2005 CRV ONE OF THE BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T 684 FRONT TIRES BLEW WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH IN HER EMPLOYERS PARKING LOT. THE TIRE PRESSURE HAD JUST BEEN CHECKED TWO DAYS BEFORE THE BLOWOUT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE SUSTAINED A BROKEN NECK, CONCUSSION, HEAD TRAUMA AND A FACIAL LACERATION WHICH REQUIRED A PLASTIC SURGEON. JB

1) NOTICED A PULL TO THE RIGHT AFTER 6-8 MONTHS OF USE. 2) IS WEARING MY TIRES AND CAN NOT LET GO OF THE WHEEL FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME FOR FEAR I WILL DRIFT IN ANOTHER LANE. 3) HAVE HAD HONDA DEALER BALANCE TIRES, ROTATE, AND HAD 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THEY BLAME IT ON TORQUE STEERING AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT.

DT: 2005 HONDA CRV, CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES AND NOTHING WAS IMPROVED. ALSO, HE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ONE WEEK. SHE CALLED HONDA AND HAD T A CASE OPENED, #N012005-06-2701355, CASE MANAGER, MICHELLE SWABE. THE WERE TRYING ALIGNMENTS, CHANGING THE TIRES, AND OTHER THINGS. *AK DEALER CHANGED STRUT ANGLE PER SERVICE BULLETIN; ADJUSTED ENGINE MOUNT AND CHANGE TIRES. HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *TT

SINCE MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2005 CRV EX 3 WEEKS AGO IT HAS SPENT MORE TIME AT THE DEALERS THEN WITH US. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND A PULL TO THE RIGHT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALER STATED THE WHEELS WERE OUT OF BALANCE. PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME. THE VEHICLE WENT IN A SECOND TIME AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEIR BALANCING MACHINE WAS INCORRECTLY CALIBRATED; THEN CHANGED ONE TIRE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAR MEETS HONDA "SPECS". PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN A THIRD TIME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER, AMERICA HONDA, PLACED THE STRUTS ON INCORRECTLY AND FIXED IT. PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND IT NO LONGER PULLED TO THE RIGHT , HOWEVER THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WAS STILL THERE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN A FOURTH TIME , WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH A TECHNICIAN AND HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A VIBRATION AT 45 , 50 AND BETWEEN 60-70 MPH. THE DEALER THEN TEST DROVE 3 OTHER CR-V'S FROM THE LOT THEN STATED THAT THEY WERE AS BAD OR WORST THEN MINE. THE HEAD SUPERVISOR CONTACTED AMERICA HONDA AND GAVE THEM THE DETAILS. THEIR REPLY " SINCE ALL THE VEHICLES DO THAT IT MUST BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE." THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT SINCE AMERICA HONDA DID NOT RECONIZE IT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A CLAIM UNDER THE FLORIDA LEMON LAW. AMERICA HONDA NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THEY ARE PRODUCING. *JB

NEW HONDA 2005 CRV LX AWD. VEHICLE DRIFTED TO RIGHT OF ROAD AND PULLS TO THE RIGHT WITH ACCELERATION, MORE ACCELERATION = HARDER PULL. IT IS BAD. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED 2 TSBS TO CORRECT (TIRE CHANGE OUT AND UPPER SPRING SEAL ANGLE) BUT NEITHER FIXED PROBLEM (THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM STILL AND ARE WAITING FOR HONDA ENGINEERING TO CALL THEM. THEY ALSO CHECKED 2 OTHER CRVS ON THEIR LOT AND BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM) THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE -- IMAGINE CRUISE ON, UP A HILL AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFS FROM 5TH TO 3RD TO REGAIN SPEED, PULLING, CAUSING THE UN-ALERT DRIVER TO CHANGE LANES/OFF-ROAD, OR TO OVER COMPENSATE ONE-HANDED.

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CR-V ON JULY 11, 2005. AFTER BRIEFLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A SEVERE PULL TO THE RIGHT (LATER FOUND OUT THIS IS CALLED TS (TORQUE STEER) DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP UP TO SIXTY-FIVE MILES PER HOUR. IN LESS THAN THREE SECONDS THE CAR WAS TWO LANES TO THE RIGHT (SAFETY HAZARD). I DROVE THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE GRADE TO THE LEFT AND THE VEHICLE STILL PULLED UPHILL TO THE RIGHT (SO MUCH FOR ROAD CROWN PULL). ON 7/26 SPREEN HONDA OF LOMA LINDA, CA, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, HAD IT ALIGNED BY THE SATURN DEALERSHIP (OWNED BY SPREEN OWNER) WITH NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE. ON 7/28-7/29 SPREEN HAD PREUTT''S WHEEL ALIGNMENT OF REDLANDS DO A SECOND ALIGNMENT WITH NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. SPREEN SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT IT, TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THAT THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT WAS INHERENT IN ALL FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES (WAS NOT A PROBLEM IN MY 1999 CR-V), THAT THEY HAD NO FURTHER COMMITMENT AND I SHOULD TALK TO AMERICAN HONDA. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD ENFORCE THE REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT AND HONDA SHOULD MITIGATE THIS DEFECT OR RECALL ALL OF ITS AFFECTED VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CRV VEHICLE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE. I HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO STOP OR TAKE OFF THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT OFTEN TIMES MAKING THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLE. I FEEL IT IS A POTENTIAL DANGER AND SHOULD BE THOUROUGHLY REVIEWED BY INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE THE HONDA CORPORATION. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES ALIGNED ONCE THINKING THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE PULL AND IT DID NOT STOP THE PROBLEM.
