    2008 cr-v subframe/rear control arm rusted so severely came apart while driving. Very fortunate there was not an accident, this caused sudden loss of control of vehicle. Had to be towed and is now inoperable and unable to be repaired. There is a recall in canada to address this condition, why not the united states? We contacted honda customer service to inquire and no response from them. This is a very dangerous…

    We had our 2008 honda crv into the local dealer for an alignment. During the alignment, they had pointed out corrosion issues with the rear frame on the passenger side where the rear trailing arm mounts to the frame. They said that eventually, the vehicle would not be safe. I had a body shop look at the frame and they said that the drivers side is solid but appears to be weak. On our way home from the store, we hit…

    I bought my 2008 crv used in 2010 and soon after put on 4 new tires. Now it is 2014 and i put on another new set of tires. I wondered why i needed tires so soon, well now i know. I bought 4 new tires and when they tried to do the alignment they told me i needed to buy a camber kit and showed me the picture of the alignment after. They were unable to align the right rear passenger wheel without this added kit. I…

    The 2008 crv pulls to the right when over 40 mph. There were 2 wheel alignments done recently, and the dealer says there is nothing wrong with the car. When you drive the car and let go of the steering wheel it pulls to the right. It takes constant pressure on the steering wheel to keep the car driving in a straight line. In my opinion this is a safety issue. The dealer says there is nothing wrong. I disagree and…

    The vehicle drifts to the right. This drift has nothing to do with the crown of the road. It drifts to the right on perfectly flat roads. I thought the wheels needed to be aligned, but after the first wheel alignment (at the honda dealer in tallahassee) the problem persisted and continued to persist after several more attempts to align the wheels. The dealership consulted with the manufacturer in california and…

    2008 honda cr-v continues to pull to the right. I had to replace my tires twice each time around 20k miles - the tires were worn unevenly even though i had them rotated 3 times in the past year. Brought into mile high honda in denver to check alignment, each time they claim nothing is wrong and it is normal to have to replace tires every 20k miles. I also complained that the steering wheel is not straight when…
