Does you euro have drift to one side tendency?

My car was ok till 4000 to 6000 klm's then started pulling to the right HARD (I took it easy too)....when they supposedly adjusted whatever they adjusted it sort of fixed it a little bit but was still doing it not as much and most important my steering wheel was at 12:15 after they done whatever they done.....what would cause my steering wheel to be out? According to the dealership it wasn't the alignment they where 100% about that and I sort of believe them too cause iit doesn't do it on a straight road but the slightest camber and she pulls to the right.

Mine does it on a dead flat road, and if the road is cambered, well then it is ridiculous!

Is this a documented fix from Honda yet?

The demo that I drove was very obvious with drifting to the right. My 2005 euro lux when delivered new had the same feel but not as much as the demo. My car has done almost 10,000km now and It is still there. My 2002 CRV tracks normal without having too much weight difference between left and right turns.

Looks like everyone who is complaining has the 17" rims with Bridgestones...

If this is the case, how many have this complaint?

If there are sufficient numbers, maybe we could be proactive on mass?

May I suggest that everyone with this issue phone the Customer service Number Freecall 1800 804 954 next week????

OR: is there something else we could do?

We should start with a list first I think to get an idea of numbers.

It's best we work together, I already got the run around from my dealer twice.

Give some detail on which euro you have whether it's a sports, luxury or standard, the size of rims and tyres and what year your euro is and klm's etc.

Then we work together and resolve the issue once and for all. Customer service sounds good we set a day and ALL call on that day, one customer every hour depending on how many of us there are.

That should give them a bit of a wake up call.

I'll start the list off here goes-

I'll add to that (I've cut and pasted from the quote to add to the list....but maybe the guys running the thread have an easier solution?

Let us know how you go cloudz.........good luck.

I am happy to report the problem has been fixed!

It was very weird driving the car on the way home as I kept trying to correct the pull which was no longer there! But I don't know how long it will stay like this as I've noticed a few people say the problem resurfaced a few thousand KM's after the wheel alignment (which is what I got). I'll report back if / when the problem returns... *fingers crossed*. :)

With only a slight right camber - drifts significantly to the right, particular at low speed. It's not so bad at higher freeway speeds on a straight camber.

Euro Sport with OEM Bridgestone REO40 17". 6300km

V205 - 05 Lux (17" Bridgestone RE040 225/45/17, 9300km, noticable self drift to the right).

Being the starter of this thread, I should point out that there's many ways to 'fix' this problem. I'm very wary of all the wrong ways and warn that it should only be done when the cause if definite. At this point, the subframe adjustment seems to be the most plausible.

Some of the wrong ways would be adjusting the camber or toe of the front tyres to cancel out the pull caused by a subframe issue. Or changing tyres.

I originally thought it may be tyres. But after reading this many others noticing the pull to the right, it's very unlikely for this many people to get a bad tyre in the same configuration that leads to pulling in the same direction.

Who was mentioning the centre of the front and back tyres of both sides could be different and that may be the cause? Is that the result of the subframe misalignment?
