Front Suspension Problems of Honda CR-V

Vehicle began experiencing steering wheel shimmy/vibration at highway speeds (65-80ish) and slight pull to the right. Rotated tires. Had tires balanced. Purchased new tires. All actions did nothing to reduce the vibration/pulling issues.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda crv. While driving 55 mph, the tire detached from the vehicle. The contact's vehicle struck another vehicle as a result. The vehicle was towed to his residence where he noticed that a spring rod failed and caused the tire to fold. There were no injuries. The vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 100,000.

2005 Honda Cr-v two problems since new: 1) camber wear on both rear tires (wears outside treads), but Cr-v has no camber adjustment--caused by lashing the rear axle down when new on car transporter truck. 2) car pulls to the right when accelerating from a stop.

My Honda 2005 Cr-v ex has a problem with pull to the right (pttr) from day one (may 31, 2005). The faster I drive, the harder it pulls. It doesn't matter of I accelerate or drive at a steady speed, the pttr is there. For example, when I drove at 70 mph on I-10, which is a 4-lane road, 2 lanes on each direction (north of tallahassee), I was on the left lane, then took my hands off the steering wheel. It started to drift to the right after two seconds. And then between 2 to 3 seconds later, my v was on the right lane. I had to grab the wheel and pulled it straight back to the road otherwise it would go into a ditch or hit a tree. Did the same test as above, except I took my foot off the gas pedal (let the v cruise on its inertia) at the same time I took my hands off the steering wheel. The pttr reduced significantly, after 7-8 seconds it started to drift to the right. This is should be considered normal. 3 trips to Honda dealer in tallahassee but they could not fix it. On the fourth trip, they said there is no pttr. I insisted the problem did not go away, and they said they tried everything (swap front tires, alignment, TSB, sub frame) within alignment and nothing they can do any more. They admitted there was pttr the first time I brought it in, but now they said it is normal. I checked in Cr-v forums of edmunds. Com (and some other site) and I found that some people have the same problem, and other people don't have. One vehicle even had 2 front suspension replaced from an unaffected Cr-v to get the problem solved. Honda did issued a TSB for this problem, but it did not fix it, or just temporally fixed for a few months (according to some people in the forums). I think this is a defect and it has a dangerous potential to lead to a crash. It should be investigated thoroughly to come up with a real fix. Nick nguyen.

2005 Honda crv pulls to the right under normal driving and acceleration conditions. Noticed within first couple of days of leasing the vehicle. I was told this was normal.

I bought a 2005 Honda crv 2-lx at the beginning of this year. From day one, it pulled to the right. I have had the vehicle at the dealer 3 times for realignment, tire rotation and other adjustments with no improvement at all. The alignment read-outs are fine. On a flat surface going 35-40 mph, not holding the steering wheel, the vehicle changes lanes within 4 seconds. Honda says 6 seconds is allowable. They don't seem to be able to fix the problem and I feel I'm driving an unsafe vehicle.

Dt: the consumer owns a 2004 Honda crv. He aslo owned a 2003 Honda crv. The 2003 and 2004 Honda crv is the one he had the problem with. Consumer stated that the vehicle vibrated so bad at 50 mph he could not drive the vehicle. The vehicle was turned in on a lemon law. The Honda dealer service representative said that they had several vehicles turned in for this problem.

Recenly while on vacation I picked up a news paper the union times Saturday July 10 2004. The article was in the b section about a Honda crv catching fire after its first oil change. The blame was placed on the dealer? heres the problem. Honda recently switched to 0w-20w oil for the 2003 and 2004 Honda`s. Not more than the vicosity of cooking oil. We all know what can happen when cooking oil is hot? now here the good part. When the oil is chnage in the new body Honda crv the oil drains down across the right side sub frame and being this oil viscosity is very adhesive it run directly into the retangle hole on the side of the frame. Then when the vehicle leaves the dealer the air traveling under the vehicle create a spray nozzle directly at the exhaust. If the person has just come in from a long drive the exhaust will never cool down enough because of Honda requirment for the dealership to have Honda`s new "express change " in place. It leaves the dealership already hot and the fire occurs. You may have guessed yes I work for a dealership. We now use a rubber stopper to plug the frame and fill in that troublesome rectancle hole with silicone preventing oil from entering the frame. We keep water in refillable spayers to extingush flame burst if they occur while changing oil.

When driving the vehicle over speed bumps, pot hole or dirt roads a clanking/popping noise was heard. Vehicle was taken to two separate dealers. The first dealer replaced the front struts, reattached the front bumper, retightened the engine mounts and other bolts. However, problem recurred. Currently, vehicle is at the second dealer being inspected/repaired. The consumer stated that the problem was in the passenger side of the front end.

While driving 55 mph steering wheel vibrated. This caused the vehicle to wander from side to side. Consumer drove vehicle to the dealer for analysis, and mechanic noticed that both frontal tires needed to be replaced, and a wheel alignment was necessary.

Vibration or shimmy in steering wheel.

Creaking/popping noise when turning into parking area, driveway,backing in/out, occurs at low speeds - took to dealer - they heard noise, however, could not find a solution to correct the problem - with our description, an independent ase mechanic said could be broken bushing, metal to metal. He also said even if you sprayed with silicone, it would not do any good.

Vehicle pulls to the right since 1 week old - Honda cannot fix.

Major issues: extreme vibration in front suspension when starting out from a stop; even with automatic transmission the car rolls backward on the slightest incline when foot is taken off the brake pedal; the tires are very slippery on wet surfaces causing the car to slide and skid.
