| Description of the problem | New honda 2005 crv lx awd. Vehicle drifted to right of road and pulls to the right with acceleration, more acceleration = harder pull. It is bad. Honda dealer performed 2 tsbs to correct (tire change out and upper spring seal angle) but neither fixed problem (they admit there is a problem still and are waiting for honda engineering to call them. They also checked 2 other crvs on their lot and both had the same problem) this is a potential safety issue -- imagine cruise on, up a hill and the vehicle downshifs from 5th to 3rd to regain speed, pulling, causing the un-alert driver to change lanes/off-road, or to over compensate one-handed. |
