1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2023

I keep having to replace the rack and pinion due to poor steering, loose steering, and leaking fluid. Replaced in 2019, am now replacing again in 2023 after putting less than another 20k miles on the car in this four-year timespan.

2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2017

Within 30 days from buying my car from a dealer it started making a sound like it was going over a really loud rumble strip and it shakes the steering wheel and can be felt in the passenger seat. I bought this car in September 2017 and to date 4/22/2018 I have had it back to the dealer 6 times with the same issue. I have been told it is just trying to shift between gears or there is nothing wrong with it. It dose not do it all the time so I dont know it they have heard it or not they have only let me go on one test drive with them. The only way to make it stop is to speed up or slow down. This isnt safe at all. It will happen on all road surfaces so it's not just the type of road I am driving on.

3 Steering problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2011

With 28,000 miles now on our 2011 crv that we bought new all 4 tires were worn out with 13,550 miles on them,and had always had a very slight front end bump. After replacing all 4 tires the bump was so bad we went straight back to the tire dealer and tire pressure and balance was rechecked and was fine the tires are firestone. At 100 miles on the tires we went back and had the tires rechecked and rotated with no improvement in the bump. The Honda dealership could only say the original tires were a very soft compound as the new ones are a better tire and does not ride as soft. This dealership has since changed owners and there is no record of them checking the car. He crv exl now has 25000 miles and tires are wearing great but still have the bump.

4 Steering problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2011

After making a right turn the car pulls to the right, Honda calls this memory steering but in bad weather the front has a loss of traction. Vibration starting around 60mph. Tires were change, front end aligned but the vibration still remains. Feels like a shaft problems. A complaint is file with the bbb.
