| Description of the problem | I put 4 new michelin defender tires on my crv and noticed that the car was pulling to the left which has never occurred before. I went back to discount tire where they changed my left tire and then it pulled to the right. They changed my right tire and the car was now pulling in both directions. Discount then put on 4 new michelin energy saver tires and the car was still pulling. I took the car into the dealership, brakes plus, big o tires, and network auto and received all different kinds of responses but one thing in common.... My alignment was fine. Brakes plus told me it was the left bushing which was incorrect. Big o tires told me nothing was wrong with my car. Dealership told me it was the tread pattern of the michelin tires or the toe. Honda recommended that i get bridgestone duelers which i did and the car was still pulling. Went to network auto and they told me it was memory steer and that the strut mounds were binding. Went back to dealership where they decided to fix the strut mounds under warranty after numerous complaints but the car is still pulling. Took the car to the dealership where i bought it from and they told me nothing is wrong and did not drive it on the freeway. I drove 40 miles out of my way to be told nothing is wrong with my car and have it pull right the entire drive home (waste of time and money). I am going to start a new job where i have to drive alot and transport minors in my car and i am very concerned about safety. I did a search in regards to memory steer and many people reported the same complaints for the 2008 crv. This is an issue that is worth looking into because the car could get pulled into oncoming traffic or to the right. So far, no one at the dealership has been helpful and they harass me to buy a new car. If i buy a new one it will not be a honda due to how i have been treated. |
