I got my car in april 06, I now have 14K on the car, 3 alignments later from the dealership and the car still pulls to the right.

LX sedan by the way.

200 miles after I got the car, they did the first alignment. After the third attempt, I gave up and learned to live with it.

ive heard other people say similar things but there wheel is completly straight and they dont have to correct for it, and it just has a pull, i have to correct it and with my experience in past cars simple alignment usually fixes this, but is there something i should know about these civics, or problems?

My steering wheel is completely straight and all tires have correct tire pressure as well. As far as I know this is a problem seen across many civics and accords. I know there is a TSB out for this but I have not year heard anyone get it fixed successfully based on it.

Someone just posted the TSB again in this section that they use for accords and other hondas with pulling to the right.

I feel it's a design flaw and if they do fix it, they are going to have to change something else to correct it and then something else will pop up as a result.

actually, they are.. all roads are tilted to the right in the right lane, and tilted to the left in the left lane, this is for when there is water on the road.. everybody who is having problems with it pulling to the right, drive in the left lane and you will see your problem will get better, but of course im not saying that there isnt a problem, im sure there is..

just so you know, the roads you drive on are built to where ur car will slowly and eventually will pull to the right. the roads are built to where the water from raining goes off to the right so that you dont have big puddles in the road.

Mine pulled to the right coinsidently after rotating the tires at 9k. Sent it back to the dealership, they did a 4 wheel alignment and found it out of spec. It's been straight for the last 4k.
