    While driving down the fairfax county parkway (westbound between greenspring village and rolling rd) at about 40 or 45mph, the hood on my 2006 honda crv opened by itself. It flew open and obstructed the window. I had to stop in a travel lane before proceeding to the shoulder at low speed. I'm lucky i wasnt hurt and didnt cause an accident. I had not opened the hood in weeks.

Sometimes as much as 90 degrees off center. Upon examining the vehicle it was found that the steel insert where the steering wheel mounts to the steering shaft has stripped out to the steering wheel. Under moderate pressure the steering wheel becomes loose…

    I purchased a 2006 crv ex in october 2006, noticeda noise when i bought it. The dealership said they knew about it and would fix it. After 3 additional visits to the service dept. Where they switched wheels, did an alignment and straightened the steering wheel (wheel was never crooked) the problem still exists.

    Vehicle pulls to the right even after proper alignment. This failure is continuous. In ice or snow cover conditions vehicle has a tendency to slide. After several visits to the dealership, the blame was always placed on tires or rotors. After replacing tires and rotors these symptoms still persisted. *tr

    We purchased a 2006 honda cr-v se on january 12, 2006. Our main concern is that the vehicle severely pulls to the right (pttr). If i let go of the steering wheel on the interstate, the vehicle will cross over into the adjacent lane in about 3-4 seconds. The pull is much worse on secondary roads that have a crown. In addition, the pttr is increased by even moderate acceleration. This condition was apparent the day we…
