CRV pulls to right
Hi,
I hope someone can help me here. I have a new 2003 CRV-LX 5sp. The steering wheel has to be turned slightly to the left to go straight, not just on a high crowned road, but on any surface. It drives to the right on the road if I let go of the wheel, when I accelerate from a stop, or with heavy breaking. I had it into the dealer at 2500 miles and they said it was slightly out of spec. and did a 4 wheel alighnment on it and it still goes to the right. it has 3000 miles on it now and I've had it for 2 months. Has anyone had a similar problem? I live 75 miles from the nearest dealer and can't be running back and forth all the time. I know there is a service bulletin about this but my car is outside the VIN range and not an automatic. I wanted to hear some other opinions before I take it back again, which means taking off of work 2 hours early and having someone follow me to the dealer and take me back the next day. Does Honda have a consumer help dept.? I sold my worn out Subaru and got this because I heard that they were trouble free. Thanks for any advice. Bob |
Re: CRV pulls to right
I had this on my 2002 CRV. Dealer did alignment and then had me go for
a ride (about 10 miles) with service technician in the car to make sure it was adjusted to my satisfaction before leaving the dealership.

Re: CRV pulls to right
I have the same problem on 2003 CRV EX with 8k miles on it.
The steering wheel is misaligned and needs to be a little to the left for the car to go straight. Otherwise the car doesn't pull to one side like it would have a twisted frame. For me this is more of an annoyance than a problem. I'll have the dealer take a look at it when I take it for the 10k maintenance.
