The locking mechanism for the tilt steering wheel not stay in a locked position. Mine will not longer stay in the lock position at all. It remains in the dropped down unlocked position causing the steering wheel to move up and down while the vehicle is in motion. It is also a hazard when getting out of the car as you can catch your leg with it and possible injure your leg.

Under acceleration,... And only under acceleration,... The 2005 cr-v... "torque-steers"... To the right! The harder the acceleration,... The harder it pulls to the right!... If this car was being driven by a person that was not paying proper attention to their driving... They would definitely have an accident!... The car would go to the right and go off the road,.. Or hit anything that was to their right!.. I.e. Another car, pedestrian,... Tree,... Etc. This problem may very well have existed from day one,... However it has virtually always been driven... "gently"... For best fuel mileage.. It was only after a mechanic replaced a faulty "anti-lock braking-system module" that this was discovered. After the ABS module was replaced, it was test-driven. (I.e.) accelerate, then brake,... Repeat. Under this harder than normal acceleration, the torque-steer was discovered. Note: (1.) vehicle wheel alignment is good... (2.) tires are all properly inflated... (3.) at a constant/ steady speed,... And during braking... The car always goes straight! (4.) it only pulls hard to the right during acceleration... The greater the acceleration... The harder it pulls to the right! (5.) this car has not been involved in any sort of accident.. Attacked any curbs,... Hit any serious potholes... Etc.

We purchased a 2005 honda crv in january 2005 and noticed the vehicle pulls to the right, which has caused the right front tire to blow out on one occasion after conducting a right hand turn around a curb. No injuries were sustained; however, the vehicle continues pulling to the right.

I have a honda cr-v ex purchased 4/14/2005. It has pulled hard to the right, especially during acceleration, since the first day. I have taken it back to the dealership four times to have the problem corrected and they have failed to do so. The most recent time was at the request of american honda motor after I recently wrote the company a letter demanding that the car be made to comply with warrant, or that I be given another vehicle that does, or that the company buy back the vehicle. During normal driving there is a constant pull to the right. On a flat asphalt surface (no tilt or crowning) when I push the accelerator to the floor from a stop the vehicle moves to a 45-degree angle and halfway into the next lane in the right after just 20 feet. Once when my wife accelerated from a stop light for a right turn, the strong pull caused her to hit the curb.

We bought the 2005 crv se in august 2005, noticed the pttr when we bought it. The dealership said they knew about it and were going to replace the tires. After 6 visits to the dealership(replacing tires, switching wheels, aligning, aligning, aligning, etc.)the problem still exists. I do not feel safe when driving this car because of the consistent pttr and awkward driving experience. Honda needs to step up and do something about the problem or they will soon loose there reputation for quality vehicles.
