CRV 2009 hard on steering and pulls to one side.

published

I love the car, beautiful smooth ride on an open road, I service ir regularly, no problems mechanically or electrically, but the car pulls to the left, and the steering is tight, complained to the dealer, they did a through check, test came up fine, wheel alignments did some good but it lasted for a time and then back the pulling. I have Michelin Tyres as well and suspect that it could be the issue, good Tyres but tends to grip the road. I've done some research and am considering changing to Bridgestone Dueller highway, this has been recommended by beaurepairs in WA after speaking to a helpful salesman.

In follow up of my review, true to my word, I bought a Toyota in May 2015. Just to show that Honda is really losing customers by behaving this way.

5 Stars for the Car. None for the Dealer.

published

Absolutely a fabulous vehicle. However, when I purchased the car new in July 2011 The paper work listed it as a 2011 model. Some months later I found out it was manufactured in October 2010. When I contacted Southern Highlands Honda in Moss Vale, and complained, they denied that I was told it was manufactured in 2011. I will certainly purchase another Honda but it wont be from these people.
Excellent vehicle and great handling with plenty of power.

5 yrs old CRV just had the aircon compressor fail. Honda priced it at $2600 to replace. Went to RAC they said simillar figure and lady said this is the 4th CRV this week to come in with the same problem. I live in Perth.
I am looking for someone who may have same issue to share experience. $2600 is rubbish. The compressor is $300-$400. Future Honda buyers be very careful.

I had the same issue, got the same sort of quote and then found out that Honda have a broadcast (not recall) out on this failure. One dealer would not acknowledge this but another did and repaired free of charge.

The best car ever!

published

Our 2011 Honda CRV Ltd Edn is the best car I've ever had. We upgraded from our Renault Scenic as our family was growing and we needed more boot space. After test driving other similar cars on the market (Kia Sportage, mazda CX7, Hyundai ix35 and Santa Fe) We decided on the Honda CRV Manual. It had the largest booty space and we also got the pet and luggage barrier installed to maximise the space. It has great highway mileage and is smooth and comfortable to drive. I love it!
fuel efficient, roomy, large boot

If you wanted fuel efficiency, why were you looking at this model? You want diesel or a wagon my friend!

Is your car a manual or automatic?

Automatics nowadays have better fuel economy than manual trannys

Great car, due for a new one but going to keep it

published

I have really loved my CRV. We had planned on trading it in after 3 years but I haven't found another car I like as much such as the Mazda 7 (gas guzzler) or Holden Captiva (very similar to CRV). My only gripe is the A pillar blocks some of my view while taking a right bend, I find I have to lean forward or look at the road through the window - but that could be my size and maybe I need to adjust my seat? I have leather seats (wouldn't have cloth ever again) and heating in the front seats, so nice on these cold mornings.
Runs smoothly, relatively fuel efficient, never had a problem in 4 years.

Nice car to drive and very versatile. Very safe for children and passengers. I think that for the price this is a very good car to buy. If I was looking an SUV in this price range I would definitely buy the CR-V
Good styling, Great interior, rear shelf is handy. Rear seats slide forwards to be closer to the front of the car, this makes it good for small children and it also makes it safer for the kids.
Not many options and tiny 4 cylinder engine needs to be axed and replaced with a turbo diesel or an inline 6.

V6 lighter and more economical than inline 6

Hi, having heard that the buttom of Honda CRV 1997 and CRV series are so weak, easily to be broken, is that true?

How about CRV 2008? Recommend?
