| Description of the problem | Safety hazard- 2007 honda crv unstable when being driven on grooved highway. Vehicle oscillates severely diagonally from front to rear and vice versa, when this road condition is experienced. Oversteering to correct this problem could result in erratic lane change or shift. Same road condition does not impact other vehicles that we drive on the same stretch of road. Calls and visits to the dealer (south bay honda, los gatos, ca.) have resulted in a response of "it's just the car" and nothing has been done. I feel it is a problem with honda2007 crv's suspension system / tires when this type of road is encountered. I feel that potential buyers and operators should be made aware of this condition, and that corrective action by the manufacturer is required. |
