problem #1

CR-V 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Car has had all scheduled maintenance. When you turn sharp either direction it makes an awful whining noise. When you reach around 60 mph the steering column starts shaking and you can feel the car shaking under the drivers seat. After several trips to different repair shops and being told that it just needs an alignment and having this done 3 times the vehicle still isn't fixed. Also in July of 2003 one of the tires lost it's tread in one giant piece wich flipped up and severely damaged the hatchback, bumper and running lights. Bridgestone tire. Going less than 30 mph at time of accident. The inside dome light has an electrical short and doesn't work except maybe one day in 3 years.
