What owners wrote
Honda cr-v 2008. Five days from date of purchase (new), found that the car pulls to the right. Addressed issue at the dealership. They drove vehicle and said there was nothing wrong with car. Car continues to pull to the right - sever.
I have not had any issues other than the typical recalls on my honda cr-v. The steering suddenly became difficult and took it to the dealer. I was lucky that there was minimal traffic and the dealership was close. They told me the rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced. It appears this is a common problem with the 2008 cr-v's. Several mechanics now have indicated this should not have happened. Very frustrating.
