2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

CONSUMER CURIOUS AS TO WHY NO INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN REGARDING 2005 HONDA CRV PROBLEMS PULLING TO THE RIGHT.*MR *NM

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 5 FRONT WINDSHIELD CHIPS IN MY 05 HONDA CRV. I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 1/2 MONTHS. 2 OF THE 5 HAVE REQUIRED REPAIRS. I AM CERTAIN I WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE NEW WINDSHIELD IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE SOUND OF IMPACT DOES NOT INDICATE THAT ANY DAMAGE SHOULD BE CAUSED, HOWEVER THE HONDA WINDSHIELD IS LIKE PAPER. I FEEL IT IS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO REPLACE MY CURRENT WINDSHIELD FOR FEAR OF FURTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE AND OR INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. *AK

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2005 CVR 10 DAYS AGO. AS OF DAY ONE THE CRV PULLS SERVERLY TO THE RIGHT. WE HAVE HAD NO HELP FROM THE DEALER. WON'T ANSWER OUR CALLS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. OUR TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THEY ARE FINE. WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP YOU NEED TO PULL THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO NOT GO INTO THE OTHER LANE. WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD YOU NEED TO KEEP THE TURNED LEFT SO IT DOESN'T FO INTO THE OTHER LANE. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE STREET OR TIRE AIR PRESSURE WHEN WE PULLED OUT OF THE DEARLERS AFTER THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED. THEY MADE IT SEEM IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. *AK

I BOUGHT A 2005 HONDA CRV 2-LX AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. FROM DAY ONE, IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR REALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL. THE ALIGNMENT READ-OUTS ARE FINE. ON A FLAT SURFACE GOING 35-40 MPH, NOT HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE CHANGES LANES WITHIN 4 SECONDS. HONDA SAYS 6 SECONDS IS ALLOWABLE. THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I FEEL I'M DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.*AK

VEHICLE EXHIBITS SEVERE PULL TO THE RIGHT (PTTR) DURING HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING INVOLUNTARY LANE CHANGE (CROSSING OVER TO ADJACENT LANE) AND POTENTIAL COLLISION.*AK

PURCHASED 2005 HONDA CRV FOR TEENAGED DAUGHTER IN DECEMBER 2004. HER MOTHER DROVE THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME ON MARCH 5, 2005 AND WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SEVERE TORQUE STEER PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, THE STEERING WHEEL SLIPPED FROM MY WIFE'S HANDS AND THE CAR STRUCK THE CURB ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS BLEW BOTH TIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AT MY OWN EXPENSE, I HAD ALL FOUR TIRE REPLACED AND A FOUR-WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE AT AN INDEPENDENT DEALER. TORQUE STEER IS STILL VERY PREVALENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR THAT THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CRV. TO THE POINT WHERE IT STEERS YOU INTO A CURB!?? I AM TOLD THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS CONDITION. NOW I AM OUT $600 FOR REPAIRS, AND I'M NOT SO SURE I WANT MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR.*AK

I BOUGHT A 05 HONDA CRV SE AND I CHANGED THE TIRES TO GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FOR BETTER GRIP FOR THE WINTER. THE VEHICLE WITH CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE THAN WAS CHECKED TO FAULT IN ALIGNMENT TWICE (ONCE FROM THE HONDA DEALER AND AGAIN AT PROFESSIONAL TIRE SHOP) AND FOUND NO FAULT. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AS WELL AS HAVING TOO MUCH TORQUE STEER WHEN IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE FROM THE A LIGHT OR A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN HALF A YEAR OLD.*AK

SINCE '05 HONDA CRV WAS PURCHASED, (4 MONTHS AGO) VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. BESIDES BEING A ROAD HAZARD AT ALL SPEEDS, THE PULLING APPARENTLY RESULTS IN ALL TIRES BEING OUT OF ALIGNEMNT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THREE (3) TIMES WITHOUT ANY REPAIR THAT HELPED THE PROBLEM OF PULLING TO THE RIGHT. (VEHICLE WAS RE-ALIGNED ONCE.) HONDA MANUFACTURER TECHNICIAN STATED THAT ALL 2 WHEEL DRIVE AND FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES PULL TO THE RIGHT AT SPEEDS UNDER 30 MPH. ADDITIONALLY, TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HONDA DOES NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFICATION AS TO HOW MUCH A VEHICLE CAN PULL TO THE RIGHT AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL.*AK

I ATTEMPTED TO PURCHASE A 2005 HONDA CR-V, EX TRIM, 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I FOUND THAT THREE OF THE VEHICLES I TEST DROVE HAVE A PULL TO THE RIGHT, VARYING FROM MODERATE TO SEVERE BETWEEN VEHICLES. WHEN I COMPLAINED, THE DEALER DID NOT FIX THE VEHICLE, BUT ADDED AN EXTRA 10 POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE - THIS OF COURSE MASKED (BUT DIDN'T CURE) THE PROBLEM. I ENDED UP CANCELING MY CONTRACT AND WALKED AWAY -- FROM THE EDMUNDS.COM FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT OTHERS WERE NOT AS FORTUNATE AND NOW MAY BE STUCK WITH FAULTY VEHICLES. *JB

OUR 2005 HONDA CRV'S ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE APPROIMATELY. 300 MILES AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGE NOT US. THE DEALER BLAMED IT ON A FAULTY OIL FILTER.*AK
