| I am a proud owner of a 2003 honda cr-v. i've always heard a loud noise from the rear of the vehicle when my rear windows were rolled down and didn't think much about it, until i had some body work done and the mechanic told me that my differential is bad and i needed to replace it. i decided to do some research and almost every honda cr-v owner i spoke to say they've encounted the noise too. i believe this was a flaw honda know all along and refuse to disclose, even when i bought my vehicle, i was not made aware of this problem. | |||

| Front end pulls hard to right on uneven pavement, or on highway if small cut lines are on roadway. vehicle has always pulled to right since new and i have had to have wheel alignments more than twice a year. vehicle has never been in an accident. vehicle had warranty work for clunking noise in front end when new. have went through several sets of tires prematurely because the tires on the front always wear out on the outer and inner edge. tires are always properly inflated to mfg specs. after getting new tires and alignment the vehicle operates fine for about a month or two then it gradually gets worse. after a couple months when releasing the gas peddle the car slows down quickly and the pulling to the right gets worse. | |||
