In two weeks you had it serviced twice, you contacted a lawyer and you contacted Honda. That's a busy two weeks.
Did you test drive the car before buying?

ACCORDING TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEIR REMEDY WAS TO REPLACE THE REAR TIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NOW, IT PULLS STRONGLY TO THE LEFT AND OPPOSED TO BEING STRONGER TO THE RIGHT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT ALL OF THEIR CR-V'S ON THEIR LOT DRIFT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAT THEY CAN DO BUT I CAN FILE A LEMON LAW CLAIM.

Mine doesn't drift(fwd) at all. It tracks true. I keep tires inflated to proper pressure.

Neither does mine, keep the tires equally inflated and don't rotate them and you will do fine.

mine pulls a bit to the right too. This was also true for the other identical CR-V we originally test drove  the dealers.. this probably doesn't apply to 100% but a good number of them. It _may_ be radial pull, i had a camry that did the same.. alignment checks out but pulls to the left. As soon as i switched the front & back tires it went away.. maybe its the quality of the tires?
I have bridgestones.. i noticed some CRVs have continentals.. maybe the difference is there?

The pull/drift is a legitimate complaint - but it does appear that not all are affected & seems to be a tire issue. Our '07 (Bridgestones) had slight but noticable drift to the right from day one. Alignment has been checked & is within specs... Rotation lessened the drift but not completely... switching front tire from left to right/right to left eliminated drift entirely. So We like most when the factory tires are worn out will purchase a higher qaulity tire & not Bridgestones,

I have a 2006 CR-V and mine does the same thing. The dealership gave me some bs about how this is a safety feature to wake you up if you fall asleep. Apparently it pulls you to the side of the rode so the bumps will wake you up. My mechanic friend is fixing it for me this weekend. I'm not sure what his plan is but I may try some of the options I've read here tonight. Mine has been pulling right since I bought it at the beginning of 06. Let me know if you've ever heard of this. I'm sure it was bs but I'm not a mechanic so what do I know. Let me know if you figured out how to solve the issue. Thanks

2 WD vs 4 WD

We live in the upper Midwest and are considering a 2 WD (LX) as a second vehicle as we already own a 4 WD Forester. Would save about $1,000 going with 2WD. Wondering particularly about the 2WD handling in snow/ice and also general satisfaction with 2WD. Thanks.

Just bought an '08 FWD CR-V. Did not road test on highway...big mistake. Vehicle has an extremely irritating pull to the right...especially on the highway at speed and accelerating. With in 3 seconds you are in the next lane. Is not an alignment issue because it does not do it when you shift into neutral. Took out another one this morning, and it did the same thing. Everyone at the dealer acknowledged this issue exists with the CR-V, but have no way to correct it. Rides like a bucking-bronco down the highway also. Have bought 3 previous Hondas including a '98 CR-V with no issues. But this one is a SEVERE DISAPPOINTMENT! My only hope is that it gets better with mileage or there is a recall. Everybody with this problem needs to complain to Honda corporate to get a fix. I just did.
