I have not had any issues other than the typical recalls on my Honda Cr-v. The steering suddenly became difficult and took it to the dealer. I was lucky that there was minimal traffic and the dealership was close. They told me the rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced. It appears this is a common problem with the 2008 Cr-v's. Several mechanics now have indicated this should not have happened. Very frustrating.

Steering rack and pinion is leaking when I took it to a mechanic he told me that this problem is common with the 2008 Honda crv ,and very expensive to fix.

I took my Honda Cr-v 2008 to local Honda dealer for air bag recalls. I asked them to check the sound coming from engine, sort of engine racing at a high speed while the vehicle was stationary. Also, I was hearing noises when turning left or right. It felt like I had to apply force to turn the steering. After running diagnostics, the dealer came back with $1800 quote for replacement of rack and pinion, and the power steering pump. Doing a simple google search, I came across postings from multiple Honda Cr-v 2008 owners, who were having the exact same problem. I called Honda customer support number, who talked nicely, but said that they could not do anything as that was not part of the recall, and that I will have to get that fixed on my own. Since so many people seem to have the exact same problem, Honda should assist with repair, which otherwise is so very expensive. We did not buy Honda to get surprises like these. Hope they are listening!!!.

Rack and pinion had to be replaced and I have had to get several new tires due to the issue.

I have been the only owner and bought my 2008 Honda Cr-v brand new. I take my oil change to Honda dealership thinking they would advise me if there was something wrong with my car. Also, to help ensure I do preventative maintenance with my vehicle. I live in texas and it gets very hot here. I never had any problems until now, when the weather starts getting cooler. I started hearing a "clicking noise" whenever I turn my wheel to the right, especially in a cold morning. It didn't use to make that noise whenever it gets hot in the afternoon. But then, the past couple of days the noise is now pretty much permanent. I tried taking my car to the dealership, I have 44k on it. But they want to charge me $75 to do a diagnostic test. I asked them if they can waive it since I've been a customer for the past 3 years. They wouldn't budge. Needless to say, I went to another dealership to take a look. They said I needed to replace my rack and pinion. My car is pretty brand new, I had high hopes when it comes to Honda vehicles. I've had a Honda accord and an Acura tl in the past. For some reason, my Honda Cr-v is having a lot of mechanical problems. The steering wheel is a safety issue.

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 my car. To make matters worse I just failed my state inspection due to a failed seal and leak in the steering rack and pinion area. Of course this is not under warranty now. However, it's not a wear and tear item - it's a safety issue - but nonetheless not covered under warranty. The dealership is going to pay for the part $1,200, but I must pay for the labor of just under $800. 00 . Unfortunately I'm not all that positive the new part they will be putting in is any better than the faulty one that is already in my car! I have already put three sets of tires on this second new car and now I must pay for yet another faulty issue. Perhaps the wheel balance issue is related to the faulty steering as they are connected. Does someone have to die before Honda will recognize they have a real problem with the Cr-v?? my next car will not be a Honda!.

Power steering rack leaking and required total replacement of rack and pinion steering rack. Told this was a safety issue by dealership that repaired the car.
