2002 CR-V Pulling to the right

[bsandy1]

We just purchased a used 2002 Honday CR-V with 35,000 miles from a local dealer. According to Carfax, it was a one owner within our state. My wife totally loves her new CRV, but it is slightly pulling to the right. We have returned to dealer twice for alignment, put it still pulls. Even after nudging the wheel to the left on a long straight away, it will eventually head to the right. This is happening but under power and coasting. Don't know if dealer is not able (they are a Nissan dealer) to do the work or if we're just getting the run around. Was wondering if anyone was aware of a known problem with the CRV pulling to one side or the other and what solutions were taken to correct the problem. Any help or advice from other CRV owners would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I'd take it to a wheel/tire shop to get it aligned. Have you checked the air pressure in the tires. An under inflated tire will make the car pull one direction or the other.

checked tire pressures?

Also when they do alignments, they usually do a front end alignment. It could be that the rear end is out of alignment and it is actually pushing to the right. But i would check the tire pressures first.

Tire pressures are the first things that should be checked during a 2 or 4 wheel alignment. If that wasn't done that should be checked.

I'm thinking it's a tire issue, try crossing rotating the tires. Left to right Right to left and see what happens from there. Otherwise get to a Honda dealer before the factory warranty - 36,000 miles runs out, very unlikely it's a warranty issue but anything is possible.
