problem #2

Dec 192006

CR-V 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
Steering wheel locking mechanism is defective and drops unexpectedtly in my 03" Honda CRV. Reported this problem to Honda Corp and I am awaiting to see if it will be covered by them. When I called the dealer back I was told this was not the first time he had seen this problem. I feel this safety concern is not being addressed by Honda Corp promptly and I am not allowing my wife and small child to drive the vehicle. The repair will cost a thousand dollars to fix, my expense I was told. When this problem with the tilt wheel locking system fails - this is a accident waiting to happen - especially at high speeds in a SUV.
