    The right front lower control arm broke during driving. The car body collapsed on the front right side and it was extremely difficult to maneuver the vehicle to safety. The 2006 honda cr-v was recalled for the exact same issue! Please be wary, there is a possible manufacturer defect here. *tr

    I am 2nd owner of this 2002 honda crv-ex made in great britain for our left hand drive (right side of road) american market. Current mileage is approximately 149,500. Recent 4 wheel alignment to correct front tire wear and return to manufacturer specifications has resulted in violent pull/torque steer to right upon acceleration. Driving at cruising speed requires steering car to left to control constant pull to…

    Dt: terrible vibration when foot is on the brakes and upon stopping at a stop sign or in traffic. Took vehicle to the dealership 3 times, it has been checked, and they couldn't find the cause of the problem. The tires were rotated yearly. Vibration is in the steering wheel, and is mostly affected when stopping. The dealer has taken vehicle for a test drive, and put it on the machine. But they still can't figure it…

    Rear suspension arm fell off of the vehicle as i was backing up. If i had been traveling at any road or highway speed feel i would have been seriously hurt or killed. The rubber bushing that holds the arm is held up by 2 pins which are attached to the unibody by one bolt each and as the rubber moves it loosened the retaning pins which bent due to the looseness of the bolts and that they are not one solid through…

    The car started making a loud dragging sound when i made a u-turn to the left only. I have taken the car to the dealer several times and the third time they were finally able to figure out the problem. The mechanics said that the front fender was pressing on the tires when i turned. The sound disapeared few days and then returned, but was more subtle. It's a pain to hear that sound and not know what's wrong with it.…

    Honda has instructed their tech reps to adjust the alignment, it still pulls to the right. Honda insists that this is due to pitch in the road. It is not consistent with test vehicles i have driven.*ak

    Crv noticeably & continuously pulls to the right when driving at constant or various speeds & road conditions. This problem has been occurring since i took delivery of the vehicle. This 'pull' is not the initial torque pull that is common to front wheel drive vehicles. The honda dealer recognizes problem & using solutions made by honda tech line could not fix problem after several service attempts. Although crv has…

    From the time i bought my crv i notice that the steering wheel pull to the right at all time. I send it back 3 times at the honda dealer and they check the alignment and it is perfect, they switches the tires and it still the same, they told me that it is natural to all crv due to the tork drive system design. The last time i send it back to my dealer he drives it and told me that there is nothing wrong with my car.…
