Steering - 2005 Honda CR-V
By Richard - December 11 - 11:00 pmThe 2005 Honda CRV fwdr constantly pulls to the right when accelerating. This means that you must hold the steering wheel to the left to go straight. I am pursuing lemon law for not being told by Honda of this defect.

Sorry to Report - 2005 Honda CR-V
By Royal - October 26 - 6:00 amI read up on recommended vehicles and chose the 05 CRV based on the Consumer Report recommendation. Also, in the past, Ive driven many Hondas and known many Honda owners that were very happy with their Hondas. Unfortunately, I ended up with an 05 CRV with the dreaded Pull To The Right (pttr) syndrome. After taking it back to Honda 3 times for reapir (that did not remedy the problem) and contacting the Honda Manufacturer directly, the Honda Manufacturer most receently stated that 05 CRVs are known to "drift." Bottom Line: I am stuck with a faulty vehicle that Honda now wants nothing to do with. Other than the pttr, the vehicle was everything I expected.
