When speeds of 65+ mph are reached the 2013 Honda CR-V steering wheel vibrates and shakes violently while traveling at high speeds on the highway. This makes the ride very scary and seem uncontrollable at times. As I have read on many forums, this is a very common occurrence with these vehicles. The dealership service department has not had an answer to why this is happening and told me "that this is a common thing with CR-V's". Honda even put out a video basically stating that they fixed this problem with their new line of cr V's in 2017. I believe it's an unbalanced drive shaft, due to fact that the tires have been balanced 3 times, 2 alignments in a 3 month period and a friend of mine had the same issue and that's what fixed his along with other people on Honda forums stating the same issues a stated above and repair methods. I hope someone can get to the bottom of these very common issues.

The problem has been happening since the car was purchased new. The car continually chews up tires on the rear end of the car. For example, we purchased a brand new set of tires in July of 2017, and already they are cupped/chopped. I had the car into our local alignment shop as we are preparing for a trip, and less than 10,000 miles later are so out of balance that they are showing signs and making noise to the point of I questioned what was happening. I suggested that they do a four wheel alignment and was told that the camber is way out of adjustment and that I needed a camber bolt kit. The car only has 84,000 miles and has been well cared for and no accidents. Here is the biggest issue. The car comes stock with rear control arms that are non adjustable. There is no way to control camber on the rear wheels. There are adjustable ones that can be purchased, but that costs consumers a ton of money. $500 or so total that is not covered by any warranty. The obvious danger is excessive wear on tires that potentially could cause bad steering, braking, and/or control of the vehicle. As far as my experience, I have had to be extremely vigilant about making sure my tires are not in bad shape 100% of the time. The dealer has basically walked away from it, in spite of the fact I purchased an extended warranty which is still in effect. I my opinion, the Honda corporation should have a recall that would address the issue by replacing the stock nonadjustable control arm with an adjustable one. This could save them a ton of issues down the road and make their cars much safer.

I got into my car and because the weather was nice, I turned off the air conditioner and lowered the back windows. I entered the interstate highway, and when my speed reached 40 mph, a loud roar came from the back of the car and the back started shaking and vibrating. I was scared and pulled off the road. I thought the suspension or the wheels/tires had failed. I made a visual inspection and could see no problem. A Honda dealer was near, so I slowly drove to their service bay. When I told my problem to a woman at the service desk she immediately told me that it was a compression problem that all of these vehicles had when the back windows were down. I asked if the salespersons were supposed to tell the customer about this problem and she said no.

The welds on the steel rims are defective. They corrode pre maturely are cause tire pressure to drop. This vehicle was bought new and is less then two years old. Honda refuses to take responsibility. It's not a warranty issue it's a defective part that should be addressed and fixed by Honda. This vehicle is not safe to drive as at any time this defective weld can become worse and cause the rim to collapse and tire to blow. Would you want to drive this at high speeds? Honda is an arrogant company that needs to be humbled and take responsibility for its problems. Also, on this vehicle the compass does not function. You'll be driving East and the compass says sw. Again Honda says not there problem. Lastly, the digital mpg gauge is misleading and highly inaccurate. It overestimates the real mpg and misleads customers to believe there getting better mileage. Fraud!

While driving, I thought the engine was revving due to the sound that I was hearing. I went for an oil change, at 10,000 miles, and mentioned the noise to the adviser. I told him the sound started at about 9500 miles and appeared to be getting louder at 10,000 miles. I was told it wasn't anything to do with the engine, transmission or any other components other than a wheel bearing on the front driver side. No one looked at the area to determine if it was indeed the wheel bearing. My tires were rotated along with the oil change. I was told my tires were fine and wearing evenly. Nothing was checked or done to specifically see or know it was/is a wheel bearing. I had to remind the adviser about the noise I had been hearing. My car was test driven by the foreman to hear the noise. He drove it on the highway, I was in the car. He started swerving the car. He then stated it was definitely a wheel bearing. My vehicle is under warranty and when I mentioned the possibility of the other bearings going, he said unlikely but would check the front passenger wheel bearing. The part wasn't in stock and has to be ordered and I had to make an appointment for 09/17/2013 to have them check/repair the wheel bearing(s). Seems odd for the wheel bearings to go after only about 9500 miles.
