Power steering fluid leakage from power steering hose. I noticed there were recall for honda acord but not for cr-v. I read all reviews and seems is risky and could catch fire.

The locking mechanism for the tilt steering wheel not stay in a locked position. Mine will not longer stay in the lock position at all. It remains in the dropped down unlocked position causing the steering wheel to move up and down while the vehicle is in motion. It is also a hazard when getting out of the car as you can catch your leg with it and possible injure your leg.

Under acceleration,... And only under acceleration,... The 2005 cr-v... "torque-steers"... To the right! The harder the acceleration,... The harder it pulls to the right!... If this car was being driven by a person that was not paying proper attention to their driving... They would definitely have an accident!... The car would go to the right and go off the road,.. Or hit anything that was to their right!.. I.e.…

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda crv. While driving 45 mph, the tilt adjuster that controls different settings to adjust the steering column failed. The steering column loosened and moved up and down while driving. The contact had to hold the tilt adjuster lock in his hand while driving until it locked back into place. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they determined that the tilt adjuster was functioning as…

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

We bought the 2005 crv se in august 2005, noticed the pttr when we bought it. The dealership said they knew about it and were going to replace the tires. After 6 visits to the dealership(replacing tires, switching wheels, aligning, aligning, aligning, etc.)the problem still exists. I do not feel safe when driving this car because of the consistent pttr and awkward driving experience. Honda needs to step up and do…

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.

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…

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…

I have a honda cr-v ex purchased 4/14/2005. It has pulled hard to the right, especially during acceleration, since the first day. I have taken it back to the dealership four times to have the problem corrected and they have failed to do so. The most recent time was at the request of american honda motor after i recently wrote the company a letter demanding that the car be made to comply with warrant, or that i be…

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…

Purchased 2005 honda cr-v new after asking specifically about reported pull to right read about on the web. Took salesperson's word that it wasn't a problem; drove off the lot and the car wanted to center or caster about 5 degrees to right of center; it's acutally harder to steer left than to steer right. Bare minimum foot on gas pedal also causes the steering wheel to point right by this amount though the pttr…

Vehicle pulls to the right either during acceleration (hard pull) and cruising (soft pull). Tried replacing the wheels, tires, alignment, balacing... Vibration at high speeds is gone but the pttr problem is still present. I showed the dealer the tsb from honda, it seems that they implemented but problem persists. I think this should be investigated and the vehicle recalled.

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…

The car pulls severly to the right while driving. Took it to the dealer 4 days after purchase, he did a wheel rotation and realignment but of no use. The dealer says that everything is within the manufacturers specifications but the pull to the right problem is still there. Car trys to change lanes by itself on the highway. Had to pll back hard a couple of times to avoid accident.

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…
