We just got the 2005 CR-V LX 4WD. First day in it was back in the shop
-- for tire balancing and alignment (steering wheel was shaking at
55+mph and the car had a strong pull to the right).

This was addressed, so there is no pull...

Vibration, however, persists -- this one is not due tires being out of
balance. It seems to be coming from the road feedback. It is most
noticeable at 60+ mph (highway driving), to the point where ones hands
get tired of feeling this constant hum.. The car also feels very
jittery on the road -- almost to the point where it is too much work...

We took an EX out for a test drive -- granted, it has leather steering
wheels, different disks (alloy) and different tires. It holds the road
a bit better (less "agitation"), but the humming from the steering
wheel is still there.

I am used to driving bigger SUVs and never had a problem with this much
road noise. To me, a brand new car should be smooth... Tire pressure
verified -- 32 psi on all tires. No dirt, fairly smooth pavements
(figure, at 100 miles round trip per day, we cover all highway types).

Is this something other people experienced? Is this worth investigating
further with the dealer or is this just "the way it is?" Almost at the
point of just returning the car and getting an Accord with traction
control......

Thank you in advance!!!
