Steering rack replaced about 3-1/2 years ago probably around 50,000 miles (est) . Was told today needs second replacement at around 86,000 miles. This means steering rack will have failed twice.

Power steering rack leak. This is my 2nd crv that has been diagnosed with a rack and pinion leak. Upon researching it is apparent that this is a common issue and a very expensive repair. Honda should issue a recall due to safety issues involving the steering.

I took my car in to check my ac that stopped blowing cold. Thank goodness it was the relay and not the compressor. Then i was told i needed a new power steering rack because both of my boots are leaking. I was quoted $1450. After reading all the complaints on here, it seems like a big problem, there should be a recall. I am only at 79,000 miles.

Took car into dealer for an oil change and was told steering rack is leaking and needs to be replaced at a cost of $1500.00. Totally ridiculous because the vehicle only has 34,000 miles on it and it is garage kept. Honda would not do a thing. Buyers of cr-v beware.

My 2009 crv had approx 38,000 miles and the power steering pump went out, my husbands 2011 civic has approx 30,000 miles and his power steering pump just went out also. Is there some sort of problem with honda's and this part? Have others had the same problems? *tr

I bought a new 2009 honda cr-v in dec 2008. After around 30k miles or so, i noticed the car pulling to the left at highway speeds. I took the car in to a local mechanic for an alignment and tire rotation but nothing they did fixed the issue. I then brought it to the honda dealership since it was still under warranty and they conducted their own alignment and tire rotation (at my expense since alignments are not…

I had been driving for about 90 minutes in a snowstorm. The road was snowpacked but it was daytime and visibility was acceptable. The vehicle was handling just fine as one would expect when taking extra care due to inclement conditions. I felt safe and in control at about 45 to 50 mph. When suddenly the car began feeling strange....like everything about the handling had gotten loose. It felt like we were swaying,…

2009 honda crv veers to the right. If even for a split second one lets go of the steering wheel, the crv veers immediately into the right lane in a total time of 2-3 seconds. This has been a known defect over the years and honda has refused to recall and nhtsa has failed to follow through. If you just google this issue, you will see a number of similar complaints. I have had to have an independent mechanic skew the…
