Honda Accord Steering Safety Report | Feb 03, 2012
Reported on Feb 03, 2012
| I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW 2012 HONDA ACCORD SE MODEL WITH VIN [XXX] ON JANUARY 19TH 2012. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM RIVERSIDE HONDA THROUGH FOOTHILL FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. EVER SINCE, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NOTHING BUT NIGHTMARES. I HAVE FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURER'S BREAK IN PERIOD FORMAT STEP BY STEP. THREE DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASED, I DROVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FWY AND NOTICED A WEIR, UNCOMMON AND RATHER DISTURBING SHIMMY ON THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 65 TO 75 MPH. MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND UNFIT TO BE DRIVEN ON FREEWAYS. I NEEDED YOUR HELP DESPERATELY TO PREVENT A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC ARE AT RISK. I HAVE ACTED AND PROCEEDED AS INDICATED. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS SHIMMY ISSUE TO THE HONDA DEALERS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS SHIMMY ISSUE TO AMERICAN HONDA. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE WITH A HONDA ADVISER AND A FIELD REP. IN BOTH CASES, THE SHIMMY HAS BEING IDENTIFIED, NOTICED AND ESTABLISHED. YET, NOTING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH THE AMERICAN HONDA FILED REP. NO SHIMMY WAS IDENTIFIED, PROVING HONDA WRONG. THE AMERICAN HONDA FIELD REP THAT TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE STATED THAT HE WAS GOING TO HELP ME. HE STATED THAT SOMETIMES CARS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE THE WRONG TIRES INSTALLED. HE WAS TO CHECK FOR RECALLS, BULLETINS AND WHAT THE ENGINEERS FROM HONDA WILL ADVISE HIM ON MY CASE. HE OFFERED TO CARE OF THE PAPER WORK. I TRUSTED HIM. HE WAS GOING TO SEND ME A COPY OF WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED TOGETHER. THE FIELD REP MADE ONE STATEMENT VERBALLY TO ME AND WROTE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SCENARIO ON THE PAPERWORK. I HAVE BEING LIED TO, MISLEAD, AND DECEIVED AS A CONSUMER AND AS A HUMAN BEING. I AM ASKING IN THE MOST HUMBLE WAY FOR ASSISTANCE. AMERICAN HONDA MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THEY HAVE BUILT. IT IS THEIR DUTY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR | |
