2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2023

I have dumped around 6k into this car and the issues span several different mechanics and a towing company. I stopped into a firestone tire where they sold me new tires, struts, brakes, and a lifetime alignment. They didn’t do the alignment which destroy the 70k miles tires in 10k at which point they told me it was my fault for not getting an alignment. I said you charged me for the lifetime alignment. They took no ownership and after I got infuriated with the lack of support they banned me from calling any firestone. Corporate won’t call me back. Fast forward and my car started doing the death wobble. I bought a new rack, pressure line, and oil pan as the pan was leaking. I guess when they did the oil change at firestone they used an impact wrench and it was leaking from the oil bolt. I purchase the oil pan, gaskets, and oil. I posted up in a parking lot and jacked the car up. For one reason or another I couldn’t finish it on my own so I had a company c&s towing tow the car to juan carlos’ garage. C&s towing dragged the car in the flat bed breaking a range of things from a motor mount to a possible cv axle. The car is popping and is non functioning now. I got the car to juan carlos’s garage a week later after spending $500 in towing. Mr carlos told me he only accepted cash and upon further questioning him while filming him he openly stated he accepted card. When I asked him why he profile me he had no response. The car is running worse than ever after it came back from juan carlos’s garage. The timing cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. The oil cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. He broke off a bolt in the timing cover and it looks like there is an entire bracket missing from the side where the timing cover is. The car is making terrible noise and the transmission is slipping now. I am very unsure why or how I have paid these people to work on my car. When it just gets worse. I got a credit card with firestone and they won’t call me back to speak.

Driving at 30 mph, just got off the highway doing 70 mph, almost at home when making a left turn the drivers side rear wheel broke off of frame, stuck in middle of the road, police had vehicle towed to shop where I was told that the frame had rusted out and car was basically totaled. Could have been killed if happened on highway and or killed someone else. Went online and saw that Honda canada had a recall for this exact reason. Someone is going to get killed in these 2007-2011 carbs. Why canada and not USA. This is a very dangerous situation!!!!!.

8 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2016

I have four issues. First, my power steering assembly needs to be replaced. It is leaking and will cause more problems. I see on many sites where this issue is very prevalent in 2007 Cr-v's. Second, the interior lighting does not work correctly. Only the back inside lights come on when the doors open; the front drivers inside light only comes on when pushed; the front passengers inside light does not work at all. Third, the back passenger side door will not lock. I am not able to lock it manually or remotely. It locks and pops right back open. I see many complaints online with the locks on 2007 Cr-v's. Fourth, the tpms light stays on.

12 Steering problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2013

Bought vehicle used in 2008 with 18,000 miles. After several weeks began to realize there was a definite pull to the right. Went to a local dealer for maintenance over the past five years and mentioned this pull. Each time I was told they did not identify any pull. When I took my car in this week they said they were able to identify a pull and they suggested an alignment and many other maintenance tasks totaling $3,700. I replaced my tires and this helped some what, but the pull still exists. After checking various sites, I've come to realize pulling to the right is a common issue in Honda Cr-vs.

16 Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/22/2009

My 2007 Honda crv has had a problem since I bought it new in 2007. The car pulls to the right. So bad that at highway speeds it causes the car to cross to the right lane in less than 4 seconds. I have brought it to the Honda dealer 3 times and they claim it is an alignment problem (3 alignments have been done on the car and problem still exists) or simply say they cannot replicate it or don't see a problem. I have to constantly hold the steering wheel towards the left to keep the vehicle from crossing to the right lane. Honda will not acknowledge this problem despite many people reporting this issue.

17 Steering problem

My 2007 Honda crv first year of the new model has had problems from day one. The dealership says there is nothing wrong. When you turn the car to right or left the car makes a horrible grinding noise and vibrates, it has been happening since I bought the car. Almost like the steering will give out if you turn too far.

22 Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2007

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle pulls to the right and makes a loud grinding noise when driving in reverse. He took the vehicle to the dealer three times for the failure and they changed the brake oil differential and suggested that the oil be changed every three to four thousand miles. This corrected the failure temporarily, but the grinding noise recurred a week later and the vehicle began pulling to the left again. A report was filed with the manufacturer and they stated that a representative will inspect the vehicle. The vehicle has not yet been inspected. The failure mileage was 21,804 and current mileage was 92,000.
