The 1999 Honda CR-V which I had leased from the dealer and delivered on March 9th, 1999 was brought in for service 5 times for a steering wheel vibration occuring at speeds between 47 and 52 mph. Attempts were made to balance the tires on a least 4 occasions and I had been referred to the tire manufacturer for a possible tire defect and replacement of both front tires. The problem still persisted and the dealer rebalanced the tires once again but to no avail. A determination was made to take 4 tires of a similar vehicle with no wheel vibration and put them on my vehicle. This again did not solve the problem. The service department then decided to remove the front axle from my vehicle and replace it with that of the vehicle without the problem. This did not help. At this time, I requested that my vehicle to be returned to me and filed a defect notification form under Florida's motor vehicle lemon law. American Honda's representative has contacted me and has scheduled an appointment with their field engineer for November 16, 1999. I believe that 4 weeks is much to long to wait as this problem may result in a driving safety hazard. This vehicle is my primary source of transportation and as a disabled veteran it is needed for transportation to and from my regional va medical center. I had spoken to the dealership's general manager in an attempt to turn in this vehicle (which actually came from another dealership) for similar vehicle as an amicable solution to this situation but this was denied.
