Anyone out there having trouble with the vehicle drifting (not pulling) to the right when you take your hands off the wheel? How about feeling like you're fighting with the steering wheel while driving straight?

No accidents, no curb hitting, no potholes. All tires properly inflated. Dealership says the DRIFTING is a safety feature, if it were pulling than it's an alignment issue.

Roads are crowned for water drainage. Auto makers adjust steering to compensate for this. If you are driving on a flat road it will seem like your car is drifting to the right. This is normal.

Hit any curbs lately? Big potholes? Snowbanks? It could be your wheel alignment.
Do all your tires have the same amount of air in them?
A car that new shouldn't have defects like you are describing, without something happening to the car.

Ask them to let you test drive another that is identical to your CRV and see if it drives the same. If it doesn't then they're just beating around the bush and go see another dealer. Your warranty entitles you to go to any Honda dealer, shouldn't drift, got to be a bad tire or the front end out.

is it under accelleration? this would happen because the front driveshafts are of different lengths and the longer one tends to twist just a slight bit more because of its length. therefore, one front wheel is being driven slower than the other, causing it to drift. if it's doing it heavily, then that's a problem. don't forget: there is more than one honda dealer out there. seek a second opinion.

take it back to the dealer and tell them the problem. The warranty should cover it,
