Consumer Description

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. CALLS TO HONDA REGIONAL REP SAYS IT IS UP TO THE DEALER TO FIX IT AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE SAFETY ISSUE OR RECALL. THE DEALER SAYS "ITS NORMAL". A REPORT TO NHTSA LAST YEAR HAS GONE IGNORED. *TR
