| Description of the problem | I attempted to purchase a 2005 honda cr-v, ex trim, 5-speed manual transmission. I found that three of the vehicles i test drove have a pull to the right, varying from moderate to severe between vehicles. When i complained, the dealer did not fix the vehicle, but added an extra 10 pounds of pressure to the right front tire - this of course masked (but didn't cure) the problem. I ended up canceling my contract and walked away -- from the edmunds. Com forums, it seems that others were not as fortunate and now may be stuck with faulty vehicles. *jb |
