So ... I've got ~20,700 miles on the 06 Si I picked up in December of 05.

Honda has serviced the car throughout that time with oil changes, tire rotations, the ECU reflash and apparently "insulated" the wiring under the passenger seat (brief history).

Now, it seems to be pulling to the right slightly.
Does anyone have a TSB or other info I can take to the dealer to have this dealt with under warranty?

TIA

 

I had that problem. Annoyed the hell out of me for about 100 miles before I realized I was running on a semi-flat tire...

I thought that happened to me, then I realized it depends on which side of the road I'm on.

 

I checked and adjusted the tire pressures, and I realize the roads are often canted for water drainage when it rains.

I just wasn't able to find the old thread(s) about this.

 

have the alignment done. After 20k miles it wouldn't be unusual for it to be out of alignment.

that's a lot more common issue than a bad anything when you have pulling to one side.

 

There is a TSB regarding all sorts of new model honda's pulling/drifting to the right... not sure of the exact number but I would try to get it covered under warranty.

 

I have had my car aligned 4 times since I bought it. It has 13k miles on it. It pulls to the right still. Honda states that if it takes more than 7 seconds to move into the other lane (not sure at what speed) that the car is in spec.

 

any chance of you taking it to a car wash? most car wash assembly lines damage the alignment.
my fg pulls to the left.

Yeah, this is what I'm looking for so that the dealer doesn't just tell me some BS.

Like when they keep telling me that the Si takes 5-20 oil when I take it in for service.

 

I read the other guys' responses and It could be all of them but the Si comes with a technology that the tires takes the shape of the road and will follow the curvatures of the road. sometimes that's the case, other times, check your tire pressure, get it aligned, and enjoy

 

and what "technology" would that be?

Variable road and tire curvatures accommodation vetch technology.

VRTCAVT in short.

Bless you!

 

your comment was assholish but the homie backed it up. Props buddy.

 

New technology ... electric steering?
Your bit about the tires conforming to the road is misleading, in that it's gone straight yo until recently.

An alignment would be a first step, but I'd like to make sure its not a bad strut first, hence the request/need for the TSB or whatever.

 

It usually depends on the road I'm on. I'm used to smaller economical tires, and I've been told wider tires cause more drifting based on the road.

 

The issue is that the car USED to go perfectly straight on down the road/highway, with which I was quite impressed.

Now, it pulls to the right as soon as I let go of the steering wheel, AND I've heard a little bit of a squeak for what would seem to be the front driver's side strut/tophat, when in the driver's seat. Especially over little speed bumps (going over them slowly), and as the suspension moves making right-hand turns in the parking deck.

Same tires, just worn down a bit after 20K miles.
The dealer has been rotating them with every oil change, as well.

Care to explain the aforementioned technology then? ... Maybe you can do a better job than I did.

 

Hey TRE_
It was no disrespect to you man.
I was talking about the other.
I actually thanked you for shutting him up with technical answerr you gave him.

 

lol i'm not even sure what to say ..
