| The lever which locks the steering wheel in the up or down position does not stay in the locked position. it slowly loosens, even while driving. this is scary, especially if i'm making a turn when the wheels moves. i think that this should be a safety recall. i've never had a car do this. | |||

| Our 2004 honda cr-v pulls hard to the right when accelerating. it will change lanes on it's own unless you fight the steering wheel. it appears that other owners of the cr-v have the same issue. i'm afraid that this is a safety concern and hope that honda can come up with a fix. | |||
