#77 of 91 Re: 2006 Honda CR-V pulls to the right [peco1] by sr146260211 Sep 21, 2009 (4:08 am)
Replying to: peco1 (Sep 19, 2009 11:53 am) About ready to pull the trigger on a new 2010 but test drove a 09 model first. No pull to the right or left noticed. Test drove another a few days later just to make sure it had enough power for my needs and again this second CR-V 09 model did not pull or I would have noticed. Drove it only 9 miles or so and part of that was on the highway.   Have read a few Honda CR-V forums and this issue reported is not wide spread as the 2002 thru 2006 air compressor problems is. Me thinks its here and there on some of the vehicls....
#78 of 91 NO issue here by motoguy128 Sep 21, 2009 (7:28 am)
I test drove 4 different CR-V's before buying a new '09. 3 different model years and a wide range of miles on the clock. Never noticed any pull to the right.   Actually when cruising, I find it requires less steering input that our '08 Altima. The only time it veers right or left is due to the crown of the road.   I'm guessing it's an assembly problem, defective part or a combination of the two that causes this problem on a very small number of models.

Honda had to pay me back for 8 car notes that I paid and they had to buy my car back. I went through hell with that issue. I now have a Mercedes GLK350!
#80 of 91 cabin noise at highway speed by otola Sep 21, 2009 (9:23 am)
We are thinking about buying another CR-V - we have an old 2000 model and want something newer and more up to date.   My question is: How bad is the noise inside the cabin at highway speeds? As far as I am concerned this is a weak spot in my current CR-V; the cabin is just plain noisy when you get to highway speeds. How is the sound proofing in the newest generation?   Thx Replies to this message: sr146260211 (Sep 21, 2009 9:51 am) otola (Sep 21, 2009 11:22 am) sr146260211 (Sep 22, 2009 5:00 am) and 1 more... lzc (Oct 07, 2009 7:00 pm)

Consumer Guide is set to test the 2010 soon.   http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2010-honda-cr-v.htm Replies to this message: otola (Sep 21, 2009 11:22 am) sr146260211 (Sep 22, 2009 5:00 am) kvt (Sep 23, 2009 9:51 am)

Replying to: sr146260211 (Sep 21, 2009 9:51 am) How was in it in the 209 model, which will probably be largely similar to the 2010 model? Replies to this message: sr146260211 (Sep 22, 2009 5:00 am) kvt (Sep 23, 2009 9:51 am)

Replying to: otola (Sep 21, 2009 11:22 am) Difference from 09 and 10 model will be the HP but should ride about the same. My experience with both 09's was that the pick up was good but not great for highway on ramps and passing. For me this was expected. Turning, I have not heard any clunking noise as some have experienced in older models, and no pull what so ever when breaking.   Wheel noise was pronounced on rough roads but on smoother roads it was about as noticeable as my 2008 Accord. Passing other vehicls and flooring it did produce a harsher engine noise but this too is expected in a 4 cyl vehicle.   Ride was very much like a sedan unless you take corners to fast and must be careful.   Will take a longer test ride with the 2010 model when they arrive some time in mid to late October.

Replying to: sr146260211 (Sep 22, 2009 5:00 am) I checked the alignment specs between 2008, 2009, 2010 crv models. The caster angle was increased from 1.5 to 3.0 between 08 and 09 models and then it was reduced to 2.5 in 2010 model. My interpretation of last reduction is that Honda admitted issues with steering. This caster change should reduce the efforts needed to steer the vehicle and as a side effect it might make PTTR issue less noticeable because it would require less efforts for driver to keep steering wheel turned slightly left to compensate drift caused by road camber.

Replying to: peco1 (Sep 19, 2009 11:53 am) What was the problem? My steering wheel shakes if I brake at 60mph and go faster than 70mph. I'm going to take it to the dealers in the morning.

I'm going to take it to the dealers in the morning.   Shaking while braking is most likely a warped rotor. Warpeed rotors are often caused by improper toqueing of the lug nuts. Rotor resurfacing may help temporarily, but evnetual rotor replacement is needed, and paying close attention to lug nuts torque and sequence of application.   Shaking at certain speeds is most likely caused by a lost balancing weight. Some times parking too close to curbs, or some car washes knock them loose. Wheel balancing is needed.   Good luck.
