Honda Accord Steering Safety Report | June 06, 2013
Reported on June 06, 2013
| ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I WAS TURNING RIGHT I NOTICED SOME DIFFICULTY IN STEERING (THE STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND TIGHT) SO I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE INCIDENT COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED BUT NOTED BY THE DEALER. ON THE 6TH I WAS DRIVING HOME AND TURNING RIGHT ONTO MY STREET AND THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS AFRAID I WAS ABOUT TO END UP IN MY NEIGHBORS YARD AND INTO MY NEIGHBOR! IT TOOK VERY GREAT EFFORT TO STEER THE CAR AND STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY I DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY TO THE DEALER AND THEY WITNESSED THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY HEARD FROM THE SERVICE DEPT AND THEY TOLD ME A CODE APPEARED ON THIS AND THEY WERE CHECKING THE RACK - THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH STEERING WITH THE CAR MOVING STRAIGHT FORWARD. I WILL BE WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AS I DON'T TRUST THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. ALSO, THE DEALER IS VERY HELPFUL AND TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND I BELIEVE HAS MY BEST INTERESTS AT HEART (THEY ARE VERY REPUTABLE). I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR AGENCY AND HAVE AN ODI NUMBER. *TR | |
