What owners wrote

2009 honda crv veers to the right. If even for a split second one lets go of the steering wheel, the crv veers immediately into the right lane in a total time of 2-3 seconds. This has been a known defect over the years and honda has refused to recall and NHTSA has failed to follow through. If you just google this issue, you will see a number of similar complaints. I have had to have an independent mechanic skew the alignment to offset this defect as a temporary fix.
