After having the car serviced at the dealership (oil change) i went to have the tires rotated. On the drive home the car was pulling to the right very hard and i had to fight to keep the car on the road. Discussed the problem with the tire store and took the car back the next day. After numerous tire rotations nothing fixed the problem and the car was now straying to the left, if i made a left hand turn, on top of…

This is my second 2008 crv - my first i owned for 1-2 days before returning to dealership to tell them the front end was not balanced correctly. They kept the car for a week trying to correct the problem and could not. I refused to keep it and i received a new car a week later. However, since then i am now on my third set of tires - even though i rotate, align and balance regularly and i just reached 40,000 miles on…

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…

The 2008 honda crv has issues with the power steering system. ~3 years after i purchased the new car, i was told by honda express service that the power steering fluid level was low when i was doing oil change. But the dealership couldn't identify a leak. When the vehicle was 6 years old, the leak finally showed up, and the whole rack&pinion needs to be replaced. Of course, the fluid is flammable. The slow leak…

2008 honda cr-v will not track straight on the highway at any speed. The car will veer to either the left or the right at all speeds. Four wheel alignments in 27,000 miles (current vehicle total mileage). Four new tires at 25,000 miles (i live in south floirda where the roads are as smooth as glass...). Recent repair resulted in replacement of the steering rack but the problem persists. I will be returning to the…

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…

On my first attempt of describing this problem to the honda service department they told me that there is no problem and asked me to drive for atleast 3-4k miles. It is very risky on road as car pulls to right. When i insisted again and again same day, they asked me to leave the car and correct the…

2008 honda crv lx - steering wheel pulls to the right. I have to fight the steering wheel to keep it in the lane. It is extremely dangerous. It gets out of control and when correcting the wheel, it over-corrects itself and has almost caused a crash. I took it back to the dealers service department. They did an alignment and adjusted the tire pressure. It did not make a difference in the unsafe steering problem.…

Purchased 2008 crv brand new, it came with bridgestone tires. A few months after purchase, i noticed vehicle pulls to right. After rotation, vehicle pulls to left. They also wore out rapidly 20k; needed to be replaced. I contacted honda dealer. After they conducted alignment check they said you need to contact firestone/bridgestone for tire warranty because of radial pull. Firestone agreed to replace all 4 tires. I…
