NHTSA complaint: 2015 HONDA ACCORD — STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 AT 65 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY MOVED LEFT AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. THEN THE CAR MOVED SHARPLY RIGHT AND LEFT THE ROADWAY AND STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL DAMASGING THE RIGHT FRONT. THE DEALER, SHOTTENKIRK HONDA IN CARTERSVILLE,GA SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING AS THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY A BODY SHOP. THEY SENT IT OUT TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT DONE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE STEERING CHECKED THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND THE RIGHT FRONT STRUT WAS BENT. THEY REPAIRED IT AND DID THE ALIGNMENT. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. THE REASON IS THAT IT IS TO LONG A TIME SINCE THE INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CAR MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE.
