CarComplaints.com Notes: While the 2009 CR-V still came equipped with tires that wear out faster than my Grandpa after a turkey dinner, Honda did address an electrical problem with the door locks that plagued owners of previous model years.
When I was driving with my mother, her 2009 CRV LX steering wheel decided to lock up WHILE driving. This was terrifying and we didn't know what to do. Then after a few seconds, it was normal. This has happened a few times while driving. When my sister had to drive it to the Honda dealership, it locked up while she was driving too and there were places where you had to steer and she couldn't. THANK GOD when it got to that point, it unlocked and was normal. Terrifying experience and dealer fixed it. Never happened again for us, but I do not know about other CRV owners.
