My problem is that while driving at a steady rate of speed (not accelerating or decelerating) between 35 and 50 MPH the front end of the auto shakes. Sometimes it is just a slight hum across the steering wheel and sometimes it shakes the entire dash board. I have had the front end looked at by the dealer but nothing was discovered that would cause this. I also have a friend with the same year CR-V with the same issue to a lesser degree. Although his vihicle does not have AWD while mine does.
Any help with solving this issue is greatly appreciated.

Not sure If anyone has even read this yet or not but I am hoping for a reply to this. The problem appears to be slowly getting worse as time goes on.
Thank you

I am not sure if I would be the same thing but we have a 98 CRV that had a really bad dash shaking problem at about 75 mph, at slower speeds everything was fine. We weren't sure what the problem was, I guessed tire balance. I was time for new tires anyway, so with a set of new tires, mounted, balanced and checked alignment the shaking went away. Now the car goes to 100 mph no shakes at any speed and very smooth. Tires wear and get out of balance, might be something to check. :2cents:

I've got new tires on it now. and have had it aligned since it started. Did your problem shake the strearing column as well?

Everything shook steering column, dash, center console. When I noticed it I thought the ran over a bunch of potholes and the dash seemed like it was going to break. Then I let of the gas and the shaking wasn't as bad. I thought that it was like a hamonic vibration as you hit a certain speed.
I read you got new tires and had an alignment did it help any?
When you changed the tires did they also do that computerized tire balancing thing?

I too would also say it is tire balancing issue. Did it happen before the new tires? Even if not, wheel weights have been known to come off or be knocked off. Excesive mud or snow (in the north) can also put tires out of balance. Shakes that are felt mostly in the steering wheel are usually front wheel related.
Shakes that are felt mostly in the seat are usually rear wheel related.
Shakes that are felt mostly in the break pedal is usually a brake problem.
