2007 CR-V (steering pulling to the right)

[codocee]

Anyone here experiencing pulling to the right on their 2007 V. We took it back and the dealer said that the left front tire had 40lbs of pressure. They adjusted the pressure and said everything is fine. Driving down the freeway, the vehicle will change lanes if I let it. I found a service bulletin for the 2005 CR-V showing, "Vehicle drifts or Pulls to the right". Probable Cause: The angle of the upper spring seat is incorrect. I don't see a bulletin for 2007 but I get a sneakin hunch I gotta problem. Anybody else!

Did you check the air pressure in all of your tires to make sure they're all the same?

Here's another hint.

The term "Pull To The Right" is contracted 'PTTR' around here, so just SEARCH 'PTTR' and you'll find LOTS of recent info, some of it pertaining to your model.

The 2007 CR-V has a greater degree of wheel caster built into the suspension than the previous models. That increase is intended to make your steering more 'responsive' and track better as you drive.

With that, there are three possible expainations. Inconsistent tire pressures between the two front tires. Fix: adjust the tire pressure to match in each tire. Possiblility two, wheels are out of alignment from the factory. Fix: Take it to the dealer and request that they do an alignment to address your concern. Possibility three, the crown of the road. Every road in America is designed to be higher in the center of the pavement than on the edges. This is done to promote water run-off. Thus, the road will naturally slope slightly to the right. Fix: Hold on to the steering wheel. There's nothing you can do to correct for this. The vehicle will track much like water. Taking the path of least resistance.

I've noticed that my 2007 crv is very sensitive to changes in the road layout. Sometimes it feels like its pulling to one side (right mostly) and other times, if the road appears to be perfectly flat, the car seems to have no pulling at all.

NooooooooOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

NO no no!

BTW I did see a recent TSB for ALL Honda vehicles regarding pulling to either direction for many years back.....

Is steering pull just part of the Honda experience now?

I am so very sad......

Everyone settle down, this is called tramlining. Many cars do this, please don't compare this CRV to your Tahoe, Buick, Ford, or whatever else you previously owned.

I am a one week owner of LS-X with Navi in Glacier Blue.
I have not noticed this yet. For those of you have this problem, did it appear right away? Or did it take a while to appear?

ajk, read the link I provided please... That might be what they are experiencing.

Also, I think you mean EX-L.... Not LS-X... Depending on where in the world you are, I could be wrong.

That meant to be EX-L! (There is a porject at work called LSX and my finger macro just produced it instead of EX-L, thanks for catching me!)

I experience the same problem with '07 crv. It is an intermittent problem. But when it happens, I slam on the break while driving, problem goes away.

Next time it happens, slam on the break (without going into a skid), it works for me on my '07 crv.
