Calling all CRV owners

[Chris2597]

Dh and I purchased a 2005 CRV a few weeks ago and love it, but have noticed a definite pull towards the right when driving. We took it back in and they fiddled with it and called it good....no it still pulled, took it back again and they adjusted the struts and balanced the tires....nope still pulls. Dh got online and found that this is a common CRV problem, that Honda has a fix....took it back in, tried the fix, doesnt work. We drove a few more CRV for comparison and they all have it...It is a definite pull to the right....The internet info says that some have it, others dont....that Honda doesnt have a good fix....and that it has been a problem for a number of years. My dh is meeting with the Honda rep next week....I love the CRV but it is a problem....Anyone else notice this??

Hi...we bought a new CRV in 2002 and have loved it ever since. Last spring after putting on new tires I did notice a pull but only when I was going alot faster than I should have. (85 mph..shhh).
I had never heard of the CRV doing this so I didn't think to take it in.
I just slowed down...lol I hope you can find out what is causing yours to
do this

Me too....This is a very elusive problem....it seems....The articles and repair from Honda elude that some have it others dont....some are fixed with simply rotating and balancing the tires, some are fixed with another brand of tires....others require the Honda strut adjustment and others never can be fixed....It appears ours is one of the difficult ones....I really love this little SUV....and sure hope they can come up with something.

My fingers are crossed for you
A little off topic, but have you used the table that comes in the back?
Don't get me wrong, we didn't buy the suv because of a table
But when I saw it at the car dealership I thought it would be the greatest
thing. I've used it once

We havent used the table yet....I also thought it was a great idea....Our salesman said the spot under the table (removeable plastic) can be used to ice things down....Honda does have some unique ideas....We also drove the Element and I really liked it....It feels so big.....for such a small car.
