Upon buying this car repairs started immediately starting with full brake system and now both ball joints, power steering return line, timing chain and tensioner. This car is only 13 years old and in my theory these items should have lasted a lot longer.

The lever which locks the steering wheel in the up or down position does not stay in the locked position. It slowly loosens, even while driving. This is scary, especially if I'm making a turn when the wheels moves. I think that this should be a safety recall. I've never had a car do this.

The lever which locks the steering wheel into an up or down position is slipping causing the steering wheel to move up or down while driving. My fear is that this unstable wheel will cause my wife or I to have a serious accident. Can the manufacturer be made to correct this potentially dangerous condition?

Tilt steering lock mechanism will fail and allow steering column to float. This float condition leads to a loss of steering control. The condition is intermittent but most often occurs at temperatures below 40 degrees F.

Our 2004 Honda CR-V pulls hard to the right when accelerating. It will change lanes on it's own unless you fight the steering wheel. It appears that other owners of the CR-V have the same issue. I'm afraid that this is a safety concern and hope that Honda can come up with a fix.
