| The car started making a loud dragging sound when i made a u-turn to the left only. i have taken the car to the dealer several times and the third time they were finally able to figure out the problem. the mechanics said that the front fender was pressing on the tires when i turned. the sound disapeared few days and then returned, but was more subtle. it's a pain to hear that sound and not know what's wrong with it. in addition, the loud clicking sound that the tires make when i step on the brakes is irritating.*ak | |||

| Crv noticeably & continuously pulls to the right when driving at constant or various speeds & road conditions. this problem has been occurring since i took delivery of the vehicle. this 'pull' is not the initial torque pull that is common to front wheel drive vehicles. the honda dealer recognizes problem & using solutions made by honda tech line could not fix problem after several service attempts. although crv has been aligned to honda specs (3 times), had the front tires switched & eventually had all 4 tires replaced, the car still pulls to the right in 3-4 seconds. the honda spec is 6 seconds. this car is unsafe to drive because i have to always firmly pull on the left side of steering wheel to keep the car in its driving lane. honda has stated to me that the car is safe to drive but sensitive to road crown.*ak | |||

| Honda has instructed their tech reps to adjust the alignment, it still pulls to the right. honda insists that this is due to pitch in the road. it is not consistent with test vehicles i have driven.*ak | |||

| From the time i bought my crv i notice that the steering wheel pull to the right at all time. i send it back 3 times at the honda dealer and they check the alignment and it is perfect, they switches the tires and it still the same, they told me that it is natural to all crv due to the tork drive system design. the last time i send it back to my dealer he drives it and told me that there is nothing wrong with my car. i took a video with me and show it many time to the manager of honda, the crv pull to the right and the manager told me that i am not the only one who complain about it. i could not trust to drive this dangerous car with my 9 month old son. *ak | |||

| Creaking/popping noise when turning into parking area, driveway,backing in/out, occurs at low speeds - took to dealer - they heard noise, however, could not find a solution to correct the problem - with our description, an independent ase mechanic said could be broken bushing, metal to metal. he also said even if you sprayed with silicone, it would not do any good.*ak | |||

| Rear suspension arm mounting bushing is inadequate and caused the arms flat end to lock into the asphalt when it broke free from its split pin restrants while i was backing up. had i been traveling at any speed this failure would have most likely caused the vehicle to vault and flip or rip off the rear wheel assembily. *ak | |||
